Reveal Your Uncool Conservative Beliefs Here

I'm broadly pro, in that they tell a story of a particular point in your life and that kind of relative permanence is pretty unique as a marker. Not a fan of sleeves, just because footballers.

I don't have one/any as yet - mostly because I can't fully decide what to get and that feels like a big deal. Almost fully repudiating what I wrote above, but whatevs.

tattoos are absurd

none of them improve on the actual human body, 95% of them are risible, the other 5% are like if you wore your favorite t-shirt every day forever

it's almost hot that you are willing to accept pain for yr beliefs, but much less so when it's mistranslated kanji or a 'druidic' wreath

I don't have strong opinions on tattoos, but rofl @ this.

my experience of tattoos is that people from the same school year as me (born 78/79) mostly don't have tattoos but by the 80/81 cohort everyone seems to have at least one, so I don't hate them but feel a bit weird about them and wouldn't get one as it would seem like an affectation on me.

My regret right now that the tattoo I was going to get of a medieval plague amulet got canceled because of a global pandemic

some of my friends were sad that the release of "the last of us 2" was cancelled, hotly anticipated post-apocalyptic videogame delayed on account of apocalypse

in portland tattoo culture is pretty big, i used to think it was kind of funny that all my brothers had beards and tattoos and were way more suited to the portland lifestyle than i was but then i came out as trans so :shrug:

dogpiling on celebrities and rich people every time they donate money to charity is shitty, who cares if it's only 0.01% of their net worth it's still helpful and it's more than most of 'em do

*massive exception for the Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk forms of "charity" that equate to bad PR stunts

tattoos are fine I just think it's weird that so many people get horrible quality dasharezone art permanently on their body

xp it’s totally irrational and dumb but I kind of get a little peeved when the rich people announce their donations themselves, especially on like instagram or something. makes it seem more about them and what swell generous ppl they are rather than the cause. I know, I’m terrible

yeah it brings attention to the cause

imo dasharez0ne art is a much better choice than 90% of tattoos

my conservative belief is that announcing your charity publicly is gauche but at the same time I get the impulse to vilify people who are worth billions who donate the equivalent of a buck fifty to a cause

if someone's worth $100,000,000 that doesn't necessarily mean they've got that much in the bank exactly

wow never heard that one before

untrue my $100 mil is in a giant safe, banded bills

don't even think about it Clooney

lol I got a sponsored tweet by some financial advice blog that said something like "tips that millionaires follow that few others do" and it had a picture of a wooden box with a bunch of rolled up $20s in it

so now I assume millionaires all have one crappy wooden cigar box full of rolled twenties in their home somewhere

Tip #1: pay sex workers in cash.

btw the reason why this irks me is because rich people are some of the most sensitive people on the planet and you know there are people like oh, I don't know, Tom Brady who say to themselves things like oh I wish I could donate but the media would be so unfair to me :(

i usually give anonymously for that same reason, to avoid the media coverage

they are so fucking UNFAIR sometimes!

i treat my employees terribly by paying them the minimal amount + minimal benefits allowed by law so when I do donate it's a more pleasurable surprise for everyone.

depends on the sex worker tbh. Having verifiable income (even venmo is better than cash in this regard) can help said sex worker do normal person things like, get a credit card, obtain a mortgage or car loan ... obviously you would not want to put "for hand job" in the note field of the transaction.

the whole tax system is lined up against cash in hand for manual labour

whose tax system?

ok, that half of the joke needs a bit of work

Re tattoos i feel like i never understood the appeal until recently - they don’t have anything to do with the art itself - it’s just that permanent pain / scratch marks on your body are a sex / death drive stand in. or like flopson said they’re kind of sexy. I’ll probably get some bad tattoos in the next few years. I want a raven.

i'd get one but i'm afraid it'll blow a hole straight through my limb

yeah, though i remember a friend's roommate a while back did a stick and poke tattoo of pissing Calvin right above his dick

educated white people should be forbidden from using terms like "cop" and "grip" to mean purchasing recorded music, especially that produced by other educated white people

Son, you cop that new Nonesuch mixtape? That shit slaps, deadass.

gonna grip all the latest erstwhile ish ... just no

same with yassssss imo

educated white people should be forbidden from getting stick and poke tattoos of pissing Calvin right above their dick

i feel like there have been certain posts on other threads of late that would be very suited to this thread

the joe biden thread you mean??

educated white people should stop getting tattoos of pissing biden right above their dick

I'm confused about cop or grip having melanin or educational limits.

Yassssss is a sign of pure dementia for anyone but actual drag queens. And I don't believe that because I disapprove of "cultural appropriation" or anything like that. It just sounds like a bloated exhalation.

educated white people should just generally stop it

education?

man that's a really harsh thing to say about avant-garde polish jazz

I will make an exception for the cat in this Vine as well:

All of my beliefs are cool and unconservative.

the trend of calling middle-aged white women "Karen" is old fashioned sexism in the guise of intersectional wokeness

TS: X Æ A-12 vs Karen

the trend of calling middle-aged white women "Karen" is old fashioned sexism in the guise of intersectional wokeness

whoops looks like we've got a karen here

it totally is. it's just another word for "shrew" but they tack on the "white, cis-gendered" qualifiers to make it seem more respectable. it's slur laundering.

no it isnt

i think the meme i have seen is that it's a nicer way of saying cunt.
