This isn't a meme, it's a call to action

Ah, but at least minorities are suffering as well. /s

Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it'll totally do all the work bro. You don't need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.

You know that game show where people have to guess whether something is cake?

Satire is the new cake, and it's more difficult to tell the difference.

And things like this do way more than just the immediate apparent impact. Every time a white cis guy speaks out like this, it helps to break down the lie that this bigoted way of thinking is the majority.

If you're genuinely curious, I can give you a glimpse into their rationality (though I strongly disagree with it).

Say, for just a brief moment, that you consider trans people to be mentally ill. Calling them by their preferred pronouns would be like giving a drink to an alcoholic--you'd be encouraging it, which would be to their detriment. And worse, you'd be liable to whatever diety might be displeased with your actions that caused someone else to continue in their sin.

Of course, that only works if you have a very poor understanding of both gender and theology. The real reason the bigots don't like trans people is because it challenges their worldview, which is uncomfortable. And instead of facing that head on, they'd rather try to justify their current view.

The Oatmeal wrote a great info comic on this.

Then sell it to a demolition derby show.

I feel like we ended up in the same kind of time line I used to create in SimCity 2000 when I spawned like 8 disasters at once, just to see what would happen.

To whoever is running this simulation, maybe take a break?

It's still the result of robbing the working class, and concentrated wealth like that is bad for everyone (even the billionaires).

To be fair, I'm hoping Trump won't do a lot of the things that he said he'd do. I have some hope of that--not because his intentions are good, but on the chance he gets distracted with something less harmful that strokes his ego.

And won't survive things like... getting sprayed with water.
