My mom is starting to talk about having just discovered 9/11 trutherism and she sounds super hyper and it almost sounds like she’s starting to believe this shit…

This arose as she flipped throigh channels and came across Schindler’s List and she started asking “why do people hate Jews? They’re just people!” I was in strong agreement of course because anti-semites are vile, until she took a hard turn to say “they aren’t like the Moosluhms who blow everything up. Hey, speaking of, did you know there are whole conspiracy theories around 9/11? I just found an article on it recently, like where was the plane in the Pentagon…” and it spiraled from there.

Ow.

This is where you can, and should just tell her, “Mom, I refuse to talk about or listen to this.”

Agreed.

I want to bitch about words getting censored even though it’s obvious what the word is, particularly in writing. I was reading something about the Dire Straits since they got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the lyrics to “Money for Nothing” were written, “That little f#ggot with the earring and the makeup.” I mean, why? All seeing “f#ggot” does is make me think of the word faggot in my head. It’s so stupid. I can almost understand bleeping the word when spoken aloud, but I don’t get censoring it in writing. It’s like these idiots think that seeing a word will somehow taint someone. We still know which word they’re using FFS!

That doesn’t explain online censorship of typed words.

And the FCC sucks by the way.

I saw a lyric book that censored asshole as “assh*le”, but the “ass” part is the bad part, right? Why was the “hole” censored instead of that?

I think it’s the same reason microbikinis and speedo bathing suits are considered acceptable beach attire but some people.

Cry, definitely cry. I think we as a society are moving past that prudishness these days.

by some people.

Think it through: tiny bathing suits cover just certain specific parts while leaving the bulk on display.

I think society needs a healthy does of prudishness sometimes.

But it can get a bit overboard sometimes.

Not when it comes to art it doesn’t. But yes, more people definitely need to feel ashamed of themselves and their bodies.

I just spilled 200°C molten plastic on my hand.

This really fucking hurts.

Jesus Christ what did you do afterwards?
