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

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.

Yerac, Monday, 6 April 2020 20:08 (four years ago) link

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 :(

frogbs, Monday, 6 April 2020 20:08 (four years ago) link

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.

sarahell, Monday, 13 April 2020 18:16 (four years ago) link

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

Wuhan!! Got You All in Check (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 13 April 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link

whose tax system?

sarahell, Monday, 13 April 2020 18:19 (four years ago) link

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

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

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

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

whoops looks like we've got a karen here

Mordy, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 13:58 (three years ago) link

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 there has already been an analysis of the nuanced difference betweens beckys and karens.

Which one is Anne Frank again

Anne with an E.

Yerac, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 14:19 (three years ago) link

beckys are younger i think and supposedly ditzy and don't comprehend social justice issues. karens are entitled moms who drive suv's and ask to speak to the manager.

treeship., Tuesday, 5 May 2020 14:19 (three years ago) link

you can't argue about uncool conservative beliefs in here this is the oh never mind

clap for content-providers (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link

i just think stereotypes aren't the way. it's not as if these terms are only being used by marginalized people or whatever. everyone online is gleefully saying women are annoying--oh i'm sorry, karens are annoying

treeship., Tuesday, 5 May 2020 14:24 (three years ago) link

This is one of those words where the directionality matters - it really depends on *who* is saying it.

"Karen" was invented by Black women to describe a very specific raced and gendered dynamic, where white women invoke white privilege over Black women, e.g. "demanding to speak to the manager, because they do not believe that a Black woman has authority". In these circumstances, it is not sexist, it is a useful tool describing a common power dynamic.

As soon as other people (most often cis white men) started using the term, it just became generalised to mean "any uppity white woman aspiring to authority that would go unnoticed in a white man". In this usage, yes, it is sexist, in fact it's not only sexist, but it's used by white men to point fingers at white privilege being something ~white women do~ to obscure their own white privilege.

It's complicated, but tl;dr - cis white men ruin everything.
