These conservative snowflakes would be hilarious if they werenât also terrifying :/
Iâve said it before⌠all we need to do is get every major food and beverage produced to put a fuckinâ Pride flag on their shit and within six months all conservatives will have starved to death.
I mean, I assume they will. It couldnât be that theyâre hypocritical trash and would eat food with a Pride flag on it⌠right?
Theyâll survive entirely on Chik Fil A.
Until their hearts explode.
Pretty sure they boycotted chik fil a within the last 6 months because the company has a diversity initiative, so they are doomed to starve.
You didnât hear? Chick-fil-A is too woke now or some shit.
Their entire worldview is steeped in hypocrisy. Not sure why food would be any different.
You may have found the joke.
Nah theyâll just buy overpriced repackaged shit.
Edit: and complain about the price.
Whine also owning a few hundred shares of stock in the packaging company.
Amazing that when pressed itâs never âI donât like acknowledging gay people existâ (the truth), itâs âI just hate corporations doing virtue signaling and pretending to give a crap. Now I have to deal with them shoving politics in my face.â
ButâŚ
Come Memorial Day/July 4th they love the American flag. Come the winter they even get angry when Jesus/Christmas is not proudly show in storefronts and in ads.
They are so onboard with celebrating dead soldiers by getting sweet deals on mattresses and trucks, but god forbid a pride symbol show up. Because suddenly theyâre cynical consumers who donât want to be pandered to.
Pandering to âtraditional American valuesâ is okay because thatâs what everyone should like. Pandering to anything else is virtue signaling.
Just now? I had a huge bottle with pride packaging that took me at least two months to get through.
Isnât it usually the case that these people only notice the packaging months, or even a full year, after the fact?
Also, Iâm just realizing that these must have hit shelves in June.
They donât notice a thing until some pundit tells them to be wound up.
Do conservatives practice basic hygiene? Honestly, howâd they even find out? Who told them? Were they digging through other peopleâs trash?

Iâm not surprised that none of them did any research
chaya raichik is angrier over rainbow packaging then people calling in bomb threats to schools and hospitals in her name
Of course theyâre angrier, they donât support rainbow packaging.
Most conservatives that react to this kind of stuff seem to boycott hygiene products already.
Man, triggered over mouth washâŚ
Snowflakes will be snowflakes
Just remember to spit not swallow
I hope that they do insulin next.
I want gay pride ozempic
But like, how many conservatives are actually âfreaking outâ about this? I get the sense that articles like this do more to stir up outrage than any actual boycotting and freaking out thatâs really happening.
I see considerably more conservative outrage online (by conservatives themselves, not just reportedly by them) directed at frankly breathtakingly stupid things than I see eg. leftist outrage, so Iâd say the chances are pretty good that this isnât just a reaction of one or two randos being amplified by media.
Interestingly, more often than not it feels like when the media reports on âleftist outrageâ it really does seem to be like half a dozen people at most being made to seem like itâs half the population.
I picked up some lady in my cab once and after a while me being trans came up. She seemed to be under the impression that most trans people are forced to go on hormones somehow and was glad that my taking them was by choice rather than compulsory.
I donât know where these people get this shit. Sinclair, presumably.
I know I shouldnât be, but Iâm just continuously shocked by how stupid people can be.
Well, like the joke goes, 50% of the population is dumber than the average. While humans can be really clever, we can also be absolutely fantastically dim.
(Disclaimer before anyone chimes in and says thatâs not how averages work: intelligence as a trait â and I donât mean IQ but intelligence in general, however you define it â is more than likely normally distributed, which means the average is also the median.)
Wasnât intending on discussing this kind of thing, but Iâm not sure this:
intelligence as a trait â and I donât mean IQ but intelligence in general, however you define it â is more than likely normally distributed
Is true.
IQ is normally distributed, but Iâm not sure what evidence there is that intelligence in general is. Iâm not even sure how one would go about proving that.
Well you probably wouldnât be able to directly prove it since defining a metric for it is nontrivial (and IQâs got its own well known problems as a proxy for intelligence), but a huge chunk of psychological and cognitive traits, and not to mention other biological traits like height or whatever, are normally distributed, so Iâd be really surprised if intelligence wasnât. Iâm not out to prove it since Iâm not writing an article for a journal, but I do think itâs incredibly likely for the distribution to be normal.
And, I mean, what are the options? A skewed distribution? I sure hope itâs skewed so that thereâs more intelligent people. Or a multimodal distribution? How would that even happen? Etc. etc.
They get that shit from the same place where they get the shit that all of us queers are pedophiles.
Conservatives canât admit that they hate us and âwokeâ people in general just because we donât conform to their rigid ideas about how things should be, so they have to come up with and spread all sorts of completely ridiculous lies to justify their hate. They donât want to see themselves as the bigots they are, so itâs nicer to have some âproperâ reason for wanting to literally fucking murder us.
Generally conservatism attracts people who arenât âcognitively equippedâ to deal with complex situations. Their ideology emphasizes strict hierarchies and roles because they need a simplified and predictable society so they can function. Thatâs why conservatives literally fear people and things that are different from what their mental model says they should be; being different makes them unpredictable, and possibly a threat. Ditto for why they usually cling to very literalist interpretations of their religions.
And Iâm not just pulling this out of my ass either, thereâs tons of research on it. See eg. this list for sources
If I was to take a forgiving interpretation of her comment, her comment could be a misunderstanding of the era of stronger binary gatekeeping for trans folk, when you had to be high femme, cis passing, straight etc to gain access to HRT.
My parents and family are conservative, and yeah, they get fucking outraged and/or scared of everything. Thinking the government is going to kill then with the covid vaccine or whatever, queer people corrupting kids, and all the common stuff you hear conservatives freak out about, and so on. And this is in Norway. Itâs honestly frightening just how closely they follow the general conservative narratives and talking points. I see them repeat the same falsehoods I read on the internet word for word.
They really are just scared of anyone and anything, especially what other people tell them to be scared of. I donât get how it isnât extremely exhausting being like this all the time.
Gonna go buy some Listerine and rebottle it as Freedom Mouthwash but charge 30% more. Anyone down to invest?
30% more?
Youâre leaving profit on the table with that, you could probably get away with 100% markup if you sell a Confederate flag version and an American flag version
Do you guys think we can get hospital emergency rooms in pride packaging?

âđđśâs.
Basederine
I buy store brand mouthwash because itâs cheaper and itâs identical in ingredients. With that being said, this is a really stupid hill to die on. Donât these people have anything better to do with their lives??
Listerine used to have alcohol in their mouth wash, so if yours does too, you might want to think about changing to a different one. While there is no sufficient evidence, thereâs a chance that it raises your chance of oral cancer. And IMO you probably donât need the alcohol in it.

I always buy the alcohol free
