  • I expect it’s just a taste thing; water tastes fine but, like, it could taste more interesting if we added a bit of sugar or flavor to it (I was a huge justice fan).

    For my own end, it was an easy way to keep my emotions/mood simulated or engaged against my depression that was low effort and easy to supply; that said, I switched entirely to water last year and, now fully comfortable drinking nothing but water and being fairly averse – previously –, I can’t say the previous reasons really make that much of a difference for me, now. Maybe it’s just having drank to my non-water content, already, but drinking nothing but water’s been pretty great and removes low-key health fears I always had.

    But wouldn’t that just be an extension of the way of doing things, though? If I’m used to writing “July 4th, 1776”, I wouldn’t start writing “04/07/1776” when that format picked up (which, as I understand things, didn’t really become a widespread norm until computers).

    Unless I’m misunderstanding you, of course (always possible).






  • Honestly, I’m surprised they’re running this, at all, considering I assumed it was solely a means to divide Queer people and funnel them to vote against their issues.

    I first noticed it’s advertisements on Twitter last year (maybe 2023? I can’t quite remember) and it signaling to right-wing dog-whistles and ideas was immediately obvious (to me); it felt like the type of stuff Peter Thiel would believe earnestly. Present itself as innovative explorers of new ideas and the real rebels (because the left is the group that’s the real authoritarians~ That type of nauseating BS).

    I just assumed it was purposeful, meant to pipeline Queer people to those ideas and peel off support for actual progress (at the time, I probably would’ve assumed to help with the 2024 election).

    Not sure what its purpose is, now; maybe speak to the harm the right always causes (but can’t be ignored, now) to keep its readership and hopefully influence the useful idiots (in the future) to keep supporting those who wish to obliterate them.
