These conservative snowflakes would be hilarious if they weren’t also terrifying :/
I’ve said it before… all we need to do is get every major food and beverage produced to put a fuckin’ Pride flag on their shit and within six months all conservatives will have starved to death.
I mean, I assume they will. It couldn’t be that they’re hypocritical trash and would eat food with a Pride flag on it… right?
They’ll survive entirely on Chik Fil A.
Until their hearts explode.
Gonna go buy some Listerine and rebottle it as Freedom Mouthwash but charge 30% more. Anyone down to invest?
30% more?
You’re leaving profit on the table with that, you could probably get away with 100% markup if you sell a Confederate flag version and an American flag version
😹 😹 😹 😹 😹
Amazing that when pressed it’s never “I don’t like acknowledging gay people exist” (the truth), it’s “I just hate corporations doing virtue signaling and pretending to give a crap. Now I have to deal with them shoving politics in my face.”
But…
Come Memorial Day/July 4th they love the American flag. Come the winter they even get angry when Jesus/Christmas is not proudly show in storefronts and in ads.
They are so onboard with celebrating dead soldiers by getting sweet deals on mattresses and trucks, but god forbid a pride symbol show up. Because suddenly they’re cynical consumers who don’t want to be pandered to.
chaya raichik is angrier over rainbow packaging then people calling in bomb threats to schools and hospitals in her name
Of course they’re angrier, they don’t support rainbow packaging.
Just now? I had a huge bottle with pride packaging that took me at least two months to get through.
Isn’t it usually the case that these people only notice the packaging months, or even a full year, after the fact?
Also, I’m just realizing that these must have hit shelves in June.
But like, how many conservatives are actually “freaking out” about this? I get the sense that articles like this do more to stir up outrage than any actual boycotting and freaking out that’s really happening.
I see considerably more conservative outrage online (by conservatives themselves, not just reportedly by them) directed at frankly breathtakingly stupid things than I see eg. leftist outrage, so I’d say the chances are pretty good that this isn’t just a reaction of one or two randos being amplified by media.
Interestingly, more often than not it feels like when the media reports on “leftist outrage” it really does seem to be like half a dozen people at most being made to seem like it’s half the population.
I picked up some lady in my cab once and after a while me being trans came up. She seemed to be under the impression that most trans people are forced to go on hormones somehow and was glad that my taking them was by choice rather than compulsory.
I don’t know where these people get this shit. Sinclair, presumably.
If I was to take a forgiving interpretation of her comment, her comment could be a misunderstanding of the era of stronger binary gatekeeping for trans folk, when you had to be high femme, cis passing, straight etc to gain access to HRT.
I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m just continuously shocked by how stupid people can be.
Well, like the joke goes, 50% of the population is dumber than the average. While humans can be really clever, we can also be absolutely fantastically dim.
(Disclaimer before anyone chimes in and says that’s not how averages work: intelligence as a trait – and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence in general, however you define it – is more than likely normally distributed, which means the average is also the median.)
Wasn’t intending on discussing this kind of thing, but I’m not sure this:
intelligence as a trait – and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence in general, however you define it – is more than likely normally distributed
Is true.
IQ is normally distributed, but I’m not sure what evidence there is that intelligence in general is. I’m not even sure how one would go about proving that.
Well you probably wouldn’t be able to directly prove it since defining a metric for it is nontrivial (and IQ’s got its own well known problems as a proxy for intelligence), but a huge chunk of psychological and cognitive traits, and not to mention other biological traits like height or whatever, are normally distributed, so I’d be really surprised if intelligence wasn’t. I’m not out to prove it since I’m not writing an article for a journal, but I do think it’s incredibly likely for the distribution to be normal.
And, I mean, what are the options? A skewed distribution? I sure hope it’s skewed so that there’s more intelligent people. Or a multimodal distribution? How would that even happen? Etc. etc.
