went to an international boarding school that had a very diverse spectrum of political beliefs

I was in the school’s pride club, and my senior year this very charismatic kid, Ken, joined. Ken was an international student

we start our first meeting, and Ken is a vibrant member of the group. but he’s saying some very… odd things. he’s talking about how gay people are mentally ill and need to be helped, lotsa fun stuff

the club leader very patiently pushes back on him on this, and eventually asks “well it’s not like any gay people are here now, right?”

… he didn’t come back after that meeting

most Poketubers

there’s this weird conundrum where a lot of Pokemon fans are older, mostly in their 20s, but the big name Poketubers almost universally aim for kids as their prime demographic

like that’s fine and all, but why are you aiming for kids when you’re playing a Professor Oak challenge, or something stupid hardcore? show the kids the shiny Rayquaza, show me your 900+ hour save file

also the ones that aren’t aimed at kids are usually pretty low quality, sorry Johnstone, sorry Bird Keeper Toby, sorry Absol Plays Pokemon

dog what

dude there are like… other rideshare apps

and taxis still exist

and Minneapolis has an effective (for America) transit system

there are so many options in place before breaking the law

and if paying a living wage is not possible for Uber or Lyft, maybe they shouldn’t be in business
