OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Who the fuck created this tumblr shit?  How the fuck am I supposed to navigate this fucking bastard?  IT MAKES NO SENSE.

Once I got banned from every page with "cis" in it that was accepting "ask", I can't find SHIT.

When looking for specific tumblrs I recommend google. Their built in search is lame,

Well, the stuff I have seen so far has validated my extremely low opinion of the human species so far, so I'll give that a try.

Haters gonna hate.  And I am a hater.

I don't know what is about tumblr that makes people unload their stupid. But there's some great stuff on there too.

Probably that their core userbase is 13-21.

Ah.  I was guessing early 20s Garbo clones.

But you're probably right.

There are probably some of those, too, but mostly I think it's kids. I think it's terrible for them, too, because it's such an echo-chamber of self-righteous self-absorption.

So at lunchtime, thinking I was being wise, I bought a burrito for dinner as well as tacos for lunch. I paid $6 for it. I am eating it now, and this is the shittiest taco-truck burrito I have ever had. It consists of an abundance of gristly strips of beef, a pile of bland rice, and a few beans. No salsa. No guac. No cheese.

This is BULLSHIT.

1.  An burrito's quality is inversely proportional to its price.

2.  Guacamole isn't food.

Yeah, it's like a magnet for teenagers, because they can go there and be assured that nobody understand their pain and that they really are completely helpless to do ANYTHING about their depression, so when Mom tells them to clean their room she's mental-illness shaming them.

What gets me giggling is the privilege thing.  Having had the reality of privilege hammered through my thick fucking skull here, it gives me a certain level of horrible mirth to watch people claim that privilege = racism or privilege = homophobia (as opposed to privilege = benefiting from racism, etc, with or without knowledge of said benefit).

The distinction isn't that difficult.  I am 169% sure that it's mostly an excuse to holler.  And I'm all for hollering, but without the excuse.

It's not an unreasonable price for a taco truck burrito in Portland, but usually for six bucks you get THE WORKS so that's what I was expecting. At La Sabrosa the $6 burrito has head meat, beans, rice, cheese, tomatoes, onions, balut, escamoles, an embryonic rabbit, sour cream, guacamole, and a chile relleno in it.

Shut up, guac is awesome!

An embryonic rabbit?  For real? 

That may be the most awesome fucking thing I've ever HEARD OF.

Their particular brand of hollering is incredibly damaging to the message they are claiming by name, too. It's a great way to get people to dismiss equal rights as being a bunch of overblown malarkey promoted by self-serving assholes.

Yeah, but EVERY movement is co-opted by the nuts.  Then they wander off in search of other nuttiness, and the subject is then open to actual discussion.  It tends to work out in the end.

Example:  Feminism.  Start with some giant like Susan B Anthony, add a few decades, and the freak parade begins.  Shit dies down at the end of the 70s, and suddenly the sensible people are talking about it again, AND you get the added benefit of knowing who the knuckledraggers are right away, because they're quoting the nutbags.

OR, in the case of Susan Brownmiller, MISQUOTING them to make shit sound even weirder.

But who's not being listened to these days?  Oh, yeah.  Phylis Schafly.  And the default position is that these weird fucking misogynist teabaggers are swine.

Results positive.  Probably better than if the freaks had never come along.  Still, probably very frustrating at the time, if you were Gloria Steinem or someone like that.

My disappointment is a truck.  A great big bastard.

Still, I'm spreading that rumor on Facebook.

True, I have to agree with that. It at least makes Tumblr a good training ground for baby social-justice warriors to be complete idiots on while hopefully refining their opinions and arguments and mostly coming out decent and effective human beings at the other end.
