the use of the word “farmer” to mean not just people doing actual, important farmwork, but also include the parasitic capitalists who simply profit from those people’s labour.. incredibly insidious. so many policies marketed as “helping farmers” are really aimed at supporting people who exploit farmers, furthering their misery

Some helpful context:

“To be treated as a farmer in America doesn’t necessarily require you to grow any crops. According to the Government Accountability Office, between 2007 and 2011 Uncle Sam paid some $3m in subsidies to 2,300 farms where no crop of any sort was grown. Between 2008 and 2012, $10.6m was paid to farmers who had been dead for over a year….American farm subsidies are egregiously expensive, harvesting $20 billion a year from taxpayers’ pockets. Most of the money goes to big, rich farmers producing staple commodities such as corn and soybeans in states such as Iowa.”

Farm subsidies overwhelmingly go to corporate farms, not the family farmer the government wants you to think they’re going to.

orcs aren’t really mosters tbh. they’re demihumans. it’s barely above wanting to fuck catgirls.

This is a hot take that could possibly lead to chaos in the already fragile monster fucking community

If I look at a mouth and instinctually know how to kiss it with my human mouth, it is not a monster, it is a variation on a person, probably with larger than average teeth. It isn’t a monster until I have to strategize

“lilo and stitch was racist because lilo wasn’t in enough merch” oh my god the su crits are really Like This. just targeting every piece of media that’s ever tried to do good. like. yes. disney is racist. disney’s marketing is especially racist. but. you can just say disney is racist. pick out a film that’s genuinely problematic. but faulting a film that still stands up as great representation because of how it was marketed in 2002 makes you sound like a ridiculous child

are holodeck characters horny by default, or is it something you have to adjust in the settings menu

Originally settings, but Star Fleet got sick of people breaking it trying to get the horniness jusssst right so they made it default

my train of thought is like. if you give people a Horny Meter, they’ll just slide it up to 100%. but no one really wants that. That’s Way Too Horny. i bet the horny slider tells you it’s set at 100%, so people stop trying to push it up, but it’s really only set to like a reasonable, more manageable amount of horny. starfleet engineers would set it to just the right level of tense, Will-They Won’t-They slow burn.

That makes sense. You’re right, people would totally go 100% horny. Starfleet engineers are doing us all a service

the real heroes of the show tbh

adults watching a kids cartoon: this episode is bad because it tried to make children laugh instead of catering to my insatiable hunger for neverending angst.

“Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario – the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi – the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario – Mario turned septic and libertarian – then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t – without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi.”
