Gee, I thought these people were the ones who were like “If you don’t like it, you can just move to a blue state.”
And now they’re mad the guy is doing just that?
You can’t oppress and discriminate against someone then be mad when they take their highly useful skill elsewhere.
“You are all awful woke pedos who should be stoned to death and cast into perdition… oh except you doctor. We need you to fix Karen’s daughter Ashleigh’s VSD. Then you can be stoned and cast into perdition.”
Anyone who thinks this doctor is trying to make some political point rather than moving somewhere he feels safe and accepted is a smooth brain. It is akin to blaming a Jewish doctor for leaving Germany in the early 1930s because his patients will suffer.
You (conservative red voters) don’t get to use people as punching bags then make it their fault others suffer when they leave. You did that. Your shitty politicians that you elected (because you support their shitty views) are focusing on making queer people’s lives miserable rather than shit like holding oil and gas companies responsible for capping their profit machine deep water oil wells or other sensible shit (improving education, infrastructure, etc…).
You caused this guy to make the difficult choice to leave. Your voting did this. Stop insisting queer people deserve to suffer if you want us to stick around. Stop insisting you are better off without us then demanding we stay because you need us to save your kid.
"Don't like it? Leave."
"Fine. I'll leave."
"How dare you!"
This is akin all those hot takes about the 2k bug being an hoax:
"Remember when they told us every computer was going to crash on 1/1/01 and there would be chaos and then nothing happened?"
Yeah, I remember. And I'm sure every programmer and sysadmin that contributed the billion person/hour global effort to prevent it also remembers.
No one talks about acid rain anymore, either. And that's a very good thing.
see also START and START II, which significantly reduced nuclear stockpiles
International cooperation is actually so effective that most people don’t even notice it happening, and then erroneously believe it can’t solve anything.
Fixing issues before they develop into actual disasters is such an underappreciated thing it hurts at all levels.
We don't talk about acid rain because there isn't any more acid rain because when acid rain started happening and we learned that the cause was mainly sulphur oxide and carbon monooxide from car exhausts, countries all over the world made it a law that car companies had to produce cars that produced less exhaust with better effectivenes (burning the fuel all the way to CO2 instead of the halfassed CO) and oil rafineries to remove the sulphur from the gasoline in the first place.
We don't talk about computers crashing because of the turn of the century, because thousands of programmers worked very hard to write updates and patches for Every Single Program humanity as a whole used back in 1999 and then somehow managed to failtest, distribute, and update every single device and system, be it an online or offline one before the midnight of the 1st january of 2000.
On a much smaller scale, no one ever commenta or notices cleaners and housekeepers doing their job - be it at home or at whole buildings - because they always make sure that there's nothing to notice. But don't be fooled - at any point of your life you are one week of them not doing away from swimming in trash and filth with nothing to eat and nothing clean to wear. Only then you would notice.
Now it's time to do that thing again and make sure that we don't kill our whole planetary ecosystem within the next century.
just had the weirdest interaction. this off-leash Yorkshire Terrier wobbled up to sniff my ankle, and then its owner said “the vet wanted to euthanize her”
and I was like “……oh”
and she said “4 years ago. she had a stroke, but I went to church and prayed to the Virgin Mary, and now she can walk again. but sometimes she drops, which is why I have this stroller”
and I was like “oh, okay.” I didn't know what to say after that, so I was just like "it's a cool dog" and kept walking
I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.
(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)
You didn’t answer the key question things brings up: did she popularize the trope before or after the would-be butler tried to kill her?
according to wikipedia, before
There’s something glorious about the fact that the author who popularised “the butler did it” had a servant who a) failed to become the butler and then b) failed to do it.
If he’d been butler material, he’d have finished the job.
Grabbing people by their shoulders and shaking them until they can prove to me they know what "twink" means
I was listening to a bunch of LGBT+ ppl from Louisiana as a guest for a podcast and the topic of "twink" came up and they more or less were like, "yeah nowadays cishet ppl know saying 'f*g' raises eyebrows so they just say 'twink' when they want to say 'f*g' but it's obvious what they want to say when they say the word," and like, that's basically it, right. Also they talked about lubed up jockstrap wrestling at a gay bar and how there was a cishet guy that participated because he just wanted to wrestle.
Nodding thoughtfully at this until you say "lubed up jockstrap wrestling" at which point I get so horny I think I hauve Covid

So the James Webb telescope just took a picture of a galaxy that is 29 million light years away.
If that wasn't cool enough NASA decided to peel away all the cosmic dust in order to see the bones of the Galaxy itself.
AND IT'S BREATHTAKING
