i'd assume X is discard but normally ill mark the use piece with the length especially if its piece work & theres a lot of different sizes going in

& being entirely generous to QT'ed posts intentions & thoughts being otherwise, thats how this shit ends up. boomers are 100% right when they whine about planned obsolescence but they only say it to say everything is bad now, especially you, our ingrate brat kids

i wanna defend the point and say it means things dont need to be like this, that kids should know that "technological innovation" opens horizons & capital encloses them, & i believe that, but youre right its just gonna sound like older people whining & telling them things used to be better

seems like the solution as in many cases is just for more people to Touch Grass lol

which is understandable ofc since its the understanding of sexuality were all socialized into, & makes sense that rightful defensiveness over the legitimacy of self-definition can slip into self-definition being treated as a good in itself in a way that pathologizes & flattens experience

"bottom of the best and the worst well what can i say" up there with all time woe is me lyrics

i am you but weaker (used to skip tiny cities made of ashes)

im not saying you need to seethe in rage every time you see a ubiquitous flag but if youre even slightly aware of US history you should have to wrestle with the fact it doesnt make you seethe with rage

in a just world the american flag & the union jack would evoke the same disgust response as the nazi flag. wtf is a "hate symbol" dawg, these are genocidal empires lmao

no way it has any substance but still crazy pivot from a party that destroyed itself to viciously slander corbyn

thats a butt

influential just in the sense it was a big story for a while, unfortunately afaik didnt have any tangible effect lol
