First it was “go to college”

Then it was “major in STEM”

Then it was “one year experience”

Then it was “three years experience”

Then it was “three years of DIRECTLY RELATED experience”

Then it was five years of DIRECTLY RELATED experience"

Now, if you didn’t practically invent the technology a company uses, you’ve got no shot.

“but I started in the mailr..”

Nobody gives a f*ck about how you started in the mail room. You’re the CEO now. The mail room job is an unpaid internship now, and it requires 3 years of directly related mail delivery experience to even be considered. Sit down.

Holy shit, you reblogged this from 3 years ago and, like… there’s not a word here I’d change

It’s absolutely true. I grew up as one of a family of four, neither parent with more than a high school diploma, we had a big fix-er-upper house in New York, two cars, and my parents could get us everything we needed, including braces and care for broken bones.

The world has got worse and anyone who tells you you’re lazy when you share this absolute fact is a liar.

Yep.

actually, poisoning the people and land with toxic weapons is great, as long as it's Our side doing it

The spirit of Diogenes is alive and well

This is funny, obviously, but even if you don't go to the extreme of the example above, this is a separate seat for one person, with a back and 4 legs:

But it's not a chair. It's a bar stool.

This, however, are all chairs:

Each one is missing at least one component of the chair definition above.

So like... it's almost like strict definitions are exclusionary.

Reblog to hit a transphobe with a separate seat for one person

The Ten Pillars of Fascist Politics by Jason Stanley

This July 6, 2021 twitter thread by Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley, PhD outlining the 10 pillars of fascist politics shows just how fascist most of the Republican Party has become under Trump’s leadership. The current MAGA GQP has incorporated each of the above 10 pillars into its talking points and philosophy. 

This is why the GQP has been up in arms about Biden accurately calling their Trumpist political ideology “semi-fascism.” 

Feel free to share this with your relatives and friends who want to defend the direction the GQP has been going in. [Just be prepared when they counterattack to explain why the Democratic Party is not “communist” or “socialist” but a center left political party with its most extreme members being just social democrats (even Bernie Sanders and AOC aren’t really democratic socialists).

Note: The visual formatting of how the original tweet in the thread appears, as well as the visual formatting of pillars number 2 - 9 were modified from their source; furthermore, the translation of “ARBEIT MACH FREI” AS “WORK MAKES ONE FREE” was added to pillar #10.

Well, my bingo card’s full.

I love how like 75% of the criticism about Rings of Power is fangirls crying about how the elves aren’t hot enough for them or are too old for them. *Gasp* Did you know the guy who plays Elrond is…29!

Sorry Timothée Chalamet and an army of 18 year old twinks weren’t available for you to write your smut for 

Also, have you actually gone back and watched the Jackson movies, and looked at any of the male elves not played by Orlando Bloom?
