They expect those people to starve (‘and decrease the surplus population’) or accept company scrip for ‘cheaper’ food, thus recreating large-scale chattel slavery.

Sadly, people do believe this. These are the same assholes that go off on women for wearing bras and then expecting all tits to be naturally porn-star perky.

Their real goal, under the ragebait, is to create and then normalize an ‘ideal woman’ template that’s nigh-unattainable and then punish every woman who doesn’t fit the mold. A demand, if you will, that every woman perform and dress up just for their eyes, with a side effect of disenfranchising and controlling women as the cherry on top.

It used to be considered such a ‘trash food’ fit only for the pathetically poor that there were actually servant employment contracts that limited the amount of lobster the Master of the House was allowed to feed his staff.

Now, that’s largely independent of the taste, mind you. It was more that the Victorians considered any bottom-feeder seafood to be nigh unfit for eating.

The problem is mathematically it just doesn’t work. Humans are too good at reproducing. We’d be back in force before too long.

No, the only way is more death note style, taking out billionaires and some of their bootlicking buddies, and those who put profit over the planet’s health. It’s perfectly possible for the rest of us to patch things up—we almost did it with the ozone. (Until guess who decided they wanted to throw money around to force us to stop.)

JFC even Michael’s (which is a crafting store) doesn’t have their Christmas stuff out yet! And if you’re hand-crafting Christmas gifts for the whole family, sooner is better than later to start lol

Those are really nice! I especially like in the first one how you captured the city lights on the water and filled in that potential darker space on the left with the bridge span.

Of course, there’s scenic photography, which is basically having really good composition skills, knowing good locations, and timing, and then there’s people photography, which is… extra. I don’t blame photographers for charging more for that shit lol

‘I want our wedding photos to be the two of us on a cliff at the beach at sunset with really pretty clouds behind us!’ And you’re thinking, okay, drive time, waiting for a good colorful sunset instead of a cloudless or too cloudy or foggy one (always a fun game of roll-the-dice in Oregon at least), and they want their backs to the sunset, so that’s extra lighting (that you’ll have to carry to the location) and extra time in photoshop to be sure you can still see their faces clearly…

My right to privacy in a fucking doctor’s office is not an insecurity you ass

There is no permanent connection between the gut and the rear of the body. Instead, as waste accumulates, part of the gut starts to balloon out until it touches the outer layer, or epidermis. The gut then fuses with the epidermis, forming an anal opening. Once excretion is complete, the process is reversed and the anus vanishes.

It has a vanishing, temporary invisible anus. WTF

In 2024 it was described to possess the ability be biological immortal by undergoing reverse development after the onset of sexual reproduction from mature lobate to early cydippid

And it’s immortal. Man nature, you crazy

I guess that’s kind of like dozens…

Don’t those laws have caveats for tipped jobs, so the businesses don’t have to pay their employees minimum wage?

The excuse I hear the most often (aside from the whole ‘it doesn’t look cool’ thing) is that why should they wear a helmet; they’re safe, skilled cyclists; obviously they’ll only get injured if someone hits them, and that won’t happen because people are supposed to drive carefully.

I have to admit I never got this one either. My aunt got her bike tire caught in railroad ties and flipped. I skidded on some gravel and couldn’t recover in time. Even if you’re the safest, most careful, most skilled cyclist in the world, accidents can still happen.

Not to mention some drivers don’t drive safe! And even the ones that do might not see a cyclist, since cyclists are small and fast.

They’re just sealioning, because they think it makes them look smart. Nazis are all morons, so they naturally gravitate towards stupid actions.

May as well asked who the slave owners sold to since so many in the South were enslaved.

The answer is the same. They sell to each other. We don’t get a cut. They dream of the day they actually get to have slaves again. Most of them don’t see us as people; they see us as things that siphon off money that needs to be in their pockets. Money we don’t deserve because we’re not rich.

Maybe they thought it was another case of AI being code for ‘An Indian’? Goodness knows enough ‘AI’ companies have tried pulling that shit…

Each other, with a side of slavery. Might as well ask who the plantation owners sold to, what with all the slaves.

At least in my case, family. My family is really big and loves parties, his family is really big and loves parties. That quickly becomes a 250-300 person guest list.
