My dad was bitching about Craftsman as a brand name having no meaning any more, and I’m like yeah Jess has to mostly buy vintage tools from pawn shops for this reason, and the reason is Union Busting

American workers and materials are not specially good, Chinese made American commissioned products are made shit on purpose

I’ve bought Chinese products on Taobao made for Chinese consumption and it’s just as good or often better designed than our version lmao they are mad at the wrong people

trying to explain to my dad’s friends that shitty shit made in China is not shit because it’s Chinese, Chinese construction workers building those beautiful mega cities do not use those weakass shit tools you’re complaining about! the American tool companies who busted up their unions and moved work overseas specifically Purchase cheap shit materials and order rushed, slapdash work to sell to /us/!

ive seen a couple of takes that we should stop talking about JK Rowling because she sucks and like, that's a heuristic for like, bad faith online dipshits who make money from the ad revenue they get from you clicking on their rancid takes. JK Rowling is one of the richest people on Earth, she regularly has the ears of British politicians, and she has creative control over a multi-billion dollar media franchise. ignoring her is not going to make her go away.

these specific words were coined at the same time, in 1886, but 'homosexual' has continuity with earlier words like 'uranian', and the idea of 'heterosexuality' as normative sexuality didn't really solidify as a concept until the mid-1900s. but more than that, the state before a norm is established must have more in common with the aberration than the norm. it makes much more sense to say heterosexuality was invented at a point in time & everyone before that was gay than the converse

heterosexuality is a younger idea than homosexuality

nvm what happens to kids on the internet. let's be real there's nowhere left for kids on the internet. it's either an endless feed of horrific AI-generated flash cartoons on YouTube or new and creative ways to test out addiction-causing strategies for microtransactions and gambling.

im a flat earther in that i do not believe the oceans are carbonated

Can we just entirely move past slaves in fantasy settings? Please? It's fantasy, no need for "historical realism" or whatever.

A few situations where naming your vehicle is ok and normal:
- it is a ship, boat, or watercraft
- it is a train
- you built the vehicle
- the vehicle is the first or only of its kind
- you are a stormchaser
- you drive a snow plow
- you are a campy group of mystery solving young adults
- the vehicle is sufficiently sentient to deserve a name
- your vehicle is a cobbled together mess of parts such that it may or may not have any of its original components
