That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

While I get you, I'm still not gonna give someone sporting swastika as "an ancient hindu symbol" a benefit of the doubt.

The frog man might be different, but we all know what's the association we can't not think about.

In short, why should my change my behaviour because of the activities of a group of shitty people?
I like memes and anyone who tries to use them to push their agenda can go under the steamroller
Because shitty people doing shitty things affects everyone. Reacting to stimuli around you makes you alive.

Icons and symbols are powerful, if you willingly give them away to people with feble scared little word views then you are handing away that power and losing a battle with them
I googled "antifa pepe" to find this image



but all the other search results have me thinking that using effort on that particular front would be wasteful and foolish.

Didn't the creator of Pepe stop selling the merch while ago, since he felt the character was "lost".

Its evangelion and pepe, and before people start saying "pepe has been claimed by nazi's", I dont give a fuck what nazi's think. Hes MINE.
How is Pepe more important to you than to his goddamn father? I'd like to hear that story. With enlengthened action sequences.

If you have trouble hearing, they could probably yell even louder if you ask nicely.

Ok, I'm rent striking now. My demands are:

-I want to be allowed to take pets, a cat in particular.

-nothing

I also have this very dumb feeling that I could've just asked and have better outcomes.  :lulz:

How disrespectful would it be to play off the rent strike thing as april fools gag?

I live in a welfare state and I've heard no one even talking about the thing. My personal rent situation is quite okay cause I can always take more student loans, but the idea of first horrifying my landlord, and then expressing a complete lack of spine just makes me giggle. Giggling means it's a good idea right?

Worst case scenario, the landlord is a complete grayface, I end up homeless and save loads of money.

Don't get me wrong, if anyone is doing the strike either because they must, or out of solidarity for those who do I wish them all the best. If I grow balls over night I might join you in your serious struggle for a better world. It just doesn't make me giggle.

I've heard vaccines are actually just heroine overdose to euthanize democrats.

TL:DR - Move to Finland.
We have a neo-nazi government in the barrel for 2023. Bring guns.

I have made it a habit to report every ad that comes across my path in social medias. Paradoxically that forces me to pay more attention to them, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It revealed me some weird insight on how they actually affect my behavior.

Couple days ago there was an ad for coffee. That made me crave coffee. My coffee wasn't even the same brand that made the ad. I don't think that matters. If you drink coffee, eventually you're gonna run out. Then you need to buy more. Again, most people don't buy the brand in the ad. Some do tho.

So, for me it seems more smart to see the ad, condemn it as bullshit and store it in the portion of the brain that deals with disgusting things. Not paying attention helps them creep past the defenses.

May I yoink this for Holy Nonsense?

Yoink away, I would be honored.

Glad t worked out.

I mean after all that exposure winning would have been a bit cheesy.

At what point should I stop picking my nose and smearing the boogers all over my furniture?

I'd argue consciousness is binary.
That works too. I can become more conscious about self by making a half assed forum post as in awakening to the thing/fact, but it doesn't change if I'm responding to the environment generally or not.
