yea

Typically, when the knee-jerk defenders of the popular billions-of-dollars franchises see criticism of their treats, they act as if the criticism is some existential threat to the treat, and that's laughably false when it comes to the head-injury death cult that is the NFL.

    You are a one-man bulwark against treatbrained tantrums, Mr. T. Thank you for your service. There needs to be a bot that automates the task of calling out ableism-adjacent denigration of outgroups with ableism-adjacent attacks over criticizing heavily entrenched and, more often than not, oppressive social structures.

    It’s ok to not like sports not just because players get treated like shit, but also because some people just don’t care about it. I don’t go around calling people basement dwellers because they don’t share my interest in niche hobbies and aviation (which, curiously enough, is the source for some of the truly unhinged takes I’ve heard. ask me for cockpit confidential stories)

    Sometimes I get so deep in the bullshit and your posts help remind me of what an actual, level-headed, sane take should be like. It’s like being pulled out of a mud-filled flooded ditch and put up at the Ritz. That’s a metaphor, which I’ve been told is fascist lately.

    If I were you I’d probably lose it, here’s my poor man’s medal gold-antifa hope it loads correctly

    Thank you. It means a lot to hear that from you; I've been called all sorts of ableist concern-trolly things before (that slowed down after federating, for some reason) so it's nice to hear a different take here than that. sweat

    Here’s the most recent one:

    So in the airlines you’ve got 2 day, 3 day, 4 day trips. This was a 4 day.

    Meet captain bigbrain at the airport. First thing he wants to talk about is CRT, and I’m not talking about 20th century television technology. Oh boy, this is gonna be a long 4 days.

    Whatever, in this industry you deal with chuds all the time. This was gonna be the same, right? Little did I know he was gonna spice things up later on.

    Now we’re taxiing out from the gate. Guy starts really getting into ranting about woke cancel culture and commiefornia. You’re not supposed to discuss non-operational matters at this phase of flight, but is the FAA looking over your shoulders? No? Then fuck them rules. Not a chud thing exclusively though. Just “wow” and “yeah I guess” my way through to the runway.

    We’re climbing out and he finally shuts up for once, probably because it’d look bad if he fucked up and they pulled the tapes with him talking about AOC on it.

    We reach cruise. Now, you’re not supposed to use personal devices in the cockpit. Is an FAA inspector riding along? No? Fuck them rules. Nobody cares about this. It’s a long flight, you’re not just gonna stare at the instruments for five hours.

    “The Chinese sure are industrious huh?”

    “What?”

    He’s on Twitter and it’s the JBP Chinese dick sucking factory video. He’s zoomed in on the milking machines (is that what you call them?)

    “What the hell are you looking at?”

    “It’s a Chinese sperm factory. You think they have production quotas?”

    “You sure that’s not just a fetish video?”

    “Dr. Peterson knows what he’s posting.”

    This is how I found out JBP was behind it. Captain Bigbrain is a lobster dude in addition to being a standard chud, it seems.

    I just say “mhmm, wow” and the next 3 hours were about as awkward as you’d expect.

    Oh my god, I was not expecting to hear about the Peterson dickmilking tweet in this story, thank you.

    For a while I was reading this series a guy on Reddit was doing on air disasters, and it's amazing how many of them start with the people in the cockpit shooting the shit when they're not supposed to and then 20 minutes later they slam directly into a mountain
