Well put. "Protecting animals from suffering" is often a cover for exploitation. It's fine to have slaves for the purpose of companionship and emotional surrogacy, because I give them a good life where they don't have to worry about where their next meal or den comes from. But any of us often choose to suffer, for many reasons. Protecting someone from suffering often looks like denying someone autonomy, to suffer for their values, for their future, for their children; we LIKE to suffer, when it's our choice, within our capacity, and the outcome is something we desire. We cannot really understand the mind of another and making such decisions for them is not compassion or empathy, it is hubris and self-delusion. But we can evaluate our own actions on the basis of exploitation.

So as far as this meme is concerned, you are illiterate. You don't even really know what you are saying with it. Using Krasinski to talk about unacknowledged privilege adds a thick layer of unintentional irony that probably undermines your message. Perhaps you should express yourself using the elements of your own culture that you understand rather than appropriating those of others.

Sorry.... sorry. We're all a little edgy over this.

If only they had thought of doing this two years sooner, it might have worked.

They were doing amazing things what feels like more than 20 years ago. They must be tired and old, I hope they have a nice retirement. We're all going to die soon.

It's like looking through the barricaded doors of the mall and seeing the zombies of your old loved ones shambling around. It's not them. They're dead. Turn away, there's nothing but heartbreak for you here.

Banana peels haven't actually been slippery since the Gros Michel stopped being sold, but it's still part of the brand. Rice Krispies' target market turns over every couple of years and won't know any better.

Brand is all this product ever had to sell you. It's a food-shaped object marketed to negligent parents. It really does not matter what is in the box.

Terminal emulators I only notice when they are a problem and for some reason, terminal emulators are on my mind again recently. :-(

Yes, there is a long and complicated history, but it is irrelevant in the face of a very active ongoing genocide. I accept that you could somehow not be exposed to enough information to be able to see that, but it is still shocking not to be able to form an opinion on ethnic cleansing and genocide. I suppose it is the product of propaganda and the culture war.

It's not really a linear relationship. It does plateau and even go down.

And anyway, bean farts are so innocent. They're practically a feature. Toot-toot!

wait that box is worth three hundred bucks..!

mine sits in a box
