The Mongol warrior wants the peasant to hold his balls so that they don’t get dusty, and the peasant lets the balls get dusty anyway. The joke is the utter conformism of the peasant, willing to celebrate for a ridiculously small victory after the tragedy of his wife getting raped, when a real victory would have been cutting the warrior’s balls.

This reminds me of the Zizek’s perverted joke. NSFW warning, also somewhat distasteful:

My man was just self-medicating his migraines and his ADHD.

She gave us 4 years of Donald Trump.

I once ran up against a guy who claimed trans people had their minds rotten by the porn industry. Motherfucker, there are really well documented non-cishet-normative social classes in Norse Scandinavia, in pre-Modern Albania, in pre-Muslim Arabia, in several places of Indonesia - what porn industry did exist there!? He couldn’t come up with anything, but wouldn’t budge either. Some people get stuck in a prejudice and will behave like raving conspiracy theorists the moment they’re offered some bullshit explanation that makes no sense but agrees with them.

Homo Sapiens develop a mutation XYZ that makes them not be attracted towards Neanderthals -> Neanderthals go extinct -> XYZ is NOW vestigial.

The real news is that Melenchon has finally managed to make it to the second round. And the question now is whether Macron’s voters are as compromised about stopping fascism as they’ve claimed for years to the point that they’ll vote to *horrified gasp* raise their taxes.

Conservatives need to stop projecting their kinks into real life. It ain’t healthy.

No “till”, plenty of living beings have vestigial elements that were positive at some point of their history, yet no longer are, but are still maintained because there isn’t evolutionary pressure to get rid of them.

If it makes you feel any better, chances are that countless birds have peed on those specific rocks through history.

That’s a great argument against patronizing the business.

Because otherwise you might be mating with a Neanderthal.

Please remember to report before blocking.

Look. Bitcoins might be useless at a societal level. But if we’re going to use excess renewable energy to drive out of business the crypto-miners who get their power from coal…

The vibes I get from the French left in social media remind me of the days when Podemos (in Spain) was soaring. It gives me a bit of hope. Good luck.

“The scary socialist madman” accompanied by the Democratic Party apparatus? A presidential candidate Sanders along with a moderate liberal VP would have gotten both the traditional Democratic vote (as long as the party collaborated with him, rather than giving him the Corbyn treatment, which I don’t trust liberals not to do) and a considerable chunk of the electorate who doesn’t feel represented by either party. The day you guys understand that you don’t have to fight the Republicans in traditional terms, but rather, to change the coordinates of the fight, you’ll force Republicans to choose between evolving or getting buried. But the real problem by this point is whether it is too late.

Look, you haven’t sold me on the idea, but I’m going to upvote you because, if nothing else, this is an original take.

Welcome to the shittiest timeline.

Why would anyone live there?

Migrating to a better place is actually not that easy, unless you have a great education.

This feels like the meme equivalent to a dad joke.
