Thanks for letting me know, I’m glad someone found it helpful!

And yeah, they absolutely would…

Image ID: on the left is a red button with the label “I don’t want the government telling me what to do”, on the right is a red button with the label “If he did what the cop told him to, he’d still be alive”, bellow is a sweaty Gadsden flag faced man struggling to choose.

The ‘victim card’ is the conservative ‘race card’.

Except only one of those is real, while the other is made up by those trying to use the first…

Lmfao, anyone still putting their hopes of abolishing capitalism in electoral politics (or the governments that result, and their actions), at the very least, hasn’t been paying any attention, and has very little to no understanding of how the systems at play work and interact.

Playing by their rules within their game (this includes not only electoral politics, but also shit like using housing as a commodity, however supposedly noble the intent) is never going to set anyone free from it.

Count me in, Sabo-Tabby!

He saw beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans. Oh, beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans. Yeah, yeah

Yup, but only when it’s something those clowns disagree with, like excluding Nazis or corporations.

Now, excluding people from protected groups, who need to be protected in the first place because of the groups the clowns endorse and defend, they’re more than happy to fight for that…

And conveniently enough anyone who disagrees with them is a traitor they don’t have to listen to, and voilà - built in shield against any criticism or the pointing out of just how massive their hypocrisy is…

You’re good, and who knows, maybe today is the day some other random stranger ends your search, it’s just wasn’t me lol

And thanks, right back at you!

How exactly is anyone being strong armed?
A single, privately run index site (which, to be clear, I have never even visited, let alone have any affiliation with) doesn’t want to publicise certain instances.
If anything, forcing them to index instances they don’t want to would be the strong-arming.

Huh, well now I know there’s another spider horror film out there for me to avoid, but not what it’s called, so that’s fun lol
Mostly kidding, but if you do remember the name at some point, please do share! 😂

I already mentioned one movie in a reply (Arachnophobia), but another that really sticks out, and which I watched at an even younger age is The NeverEnding Story.

I remember being around 5 or 6 at a friends’ house, parents just left all the toddlers in the playroom in front of the movie and had their social gathering, meanwhile I’m terrified and hysterically crying my eyes out (I’m sure at least a couple of the other kids were too, but I can’t remember)…
Artax in the swamp destroyed me completely, and the Darkness and the Sphynx statues, and even Morla scared the living shit out of me (yes, they left us there to watch the entire movie).

I still can’t bare to watch the swamp scene.

That scene was absolutely horrifying to watch the first time I saw the movie and I must have been in my mid-late teens at that point…

I’m pretty sure you mean Arachnophobia, which is the film I came here to mention.

Someone put it on at a slumber party before I could see what it was (definitely wouldn’t have stuck around if I knew what was coming). It kept me up for months and months, and intensified an already existing phobia. It’s like 30 years later and I’ll still occasionally wake up in horror from seeing huge spiders in my dreams…

No worries, I figured a machine screwed something up along the way lol

Thanks again for the great resources, I’ve bookmarked them all, just in case…

Can we please let the ableist wojaks die already?? 🙄🙄

Thanks, I’d managed to miss 2 of those!

These are great, thanks for sharing, though some spaces would make them easier to tell apart!

Bigots everywhere, and you can’t get rid of them, only hide their content from yourself…

I’ve not been on bluesky, and don’t doubt it’s worse there, but tbf we have a growing problem with bigots and trolls on kbin/lemmy too, and we can’t do much more than block here either…

I, completely missing the title, thought it was V from V for Vendetta, but I guess I’m wrong lol (that clip is the end of the movie, so spoiler alert, though it’s basically what the meme describes)

Before digital computers existed, humans were the computers! (first referenced as an occupation in 1613)

Skills are transferable, though there definitely are many cases where people aren’t able to access the tools and education they might need to make the most of their talents because of lack of privilege and systemic oppression (which basically means facing more obstacles to gain access to the same tools and education as the most privileged get handed to them).

So when you were born definitely matters, but so does where, to who, what gender you were assigned at birth, how abled or disabled you are, and so on and so on…
