  • You could just say “no.” I was curious how far your logic would go because you said, and I quote, “it would be forcing people who prefer Ben & Jerry’s to either have vegan ice cream or switch to another brand”

    Like, dude, come on. You have to hear how ridiculous that sounds. Nobody is forcing anybody to eat ice cream. And also, though this is just coming from my experience, I’ve never met anyone who exclusively likes Ben & Jerry’s. Bad ice cream is almost always better than no ice cream so I would challenge you to find someone who would be upset about needing to eat ice cream that was created by any brand other than Ben & Jerry’s.







  • Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    I saw it the day it came out and thought it was a brilliant departure from the macguffin-based plots that had come before, and it showed so many different things that had never been in a Star Wars movie before.

    Turns out all Star Wars fans want is more of the exact same that had been in the previous 7 movies.


  • I find that I’m constantly fighting off a feeling of utter hopelessness whenever I think about the current state of American politics. Harris’ comment yesterday, responding to all the protestors’ chants of “You can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide,” saying in an abusive motherly tone “Keep saying that if you want Donald Trump elected” really hit hard. It just reminded me in a very raw way that Democrats are in no way on the side of humanity.

    I don’t have a good response to what you said. Do I want Trump to be dictator? Of course not. Millions if not billions of lives will be ruined by that. Do I want Democrats to maintain the status quo and pretend a genocide isn’t being funded by my income? Not a fucking chance. Do I want a revolution of the working class? I don’t really know; would it save lives today, would it make lives today better, would it make lives in the near future better?

    Fuck me; I want off this ride.
