“But then Ocasio-Cortez spoke, followed by Bush, and I saw something
truly terrifying. I saw just how easy it would be, were I less involved
and less certain of our nation’s founding and its history, to fall for
the populist lines they were shouting from that stage.
I saw how easy it would be, as a parent, to accept the idea that my children deserve healthcare and education.
I
saw how easy it would be, as someone who has struggled to make ends
meet, to accept the idea that a “living wage” was a human right.
Above
all, I saw how easy it would be to accept the notion that it was the
government’s job to make sure that those things were provided.”
You guys, the Daily Caller just published the funniest thing I have ever read in my entire life. It is literally an article where a conservative is just terrified to death that they nearly felt empathy and love.
This article is like the biggest proof I have ever read that conservatives are just pathologically afraid of kindness.
There’s… not even a punchline. Like, the article concludes just a few lines after the quoted section, with no suggestion for why anyone SHOULDN’T support things like universal healthcare. Not even a token “but, you know, the money,” or “but you have to EARN it.” It just ends.
I guess the audience is expected to fill in the blanks? Like “gosh, I almost cared about an unrelated human being, but CLEARLY the very concept is absurd.” Which is… pretty sad, honestly.
I’m telling you, at least according to this article, it is literally just terrifying to think that your kids deserve healthcare and education.
That’s literally it. There isn’t anything else.

This is officially the best gender choice in a game ever.

a lady
a gentleman

In the middle poster the text: “NAUGHTY penguin of the month: Timmy. Stole fish, pushed another penguin over”. Under that: “Good penguin of the month: Betty. Good swimmer, waited patiently for fish.”]
When it comes to elves there are three broad classes of ear length.

You Have A Fetish:
[id: first image, “classic” is Legolas from the Lord of the Rings films. his ear is just like a human ear, but the highest part tapers into a subtle point.
second image, “Anime”, is Deedlit, a high elf character from Record of Lodoss War, an anime based on a d&d campaign. she has long triangular, lobeless ears that point horizontally away from her head. each ear is about as long as her head is wide.
third image, “You Have A Fetish”, is of Jak from the Jak and Daxter video games. his long triangular ears are at least twice as long as his head is wide.]
