    You’re all making jokes about how obvious this is, however I would argue that it’s still a very important thing to study and an important thing to say.

    So many people pull out the suicide statistics of trans people, and for anyone with a brain, would understand that the rates of suicide are so high is because of the ratio of people who hate them simply for existing. How many times can you be told to fucking kill yourself before you do, huh?

    This study validates that not telling kids to kill themselves, and and having loving parents is the “secret” to bringing down rates of depression and suicide.

    So for everyone with a brain this is pretty god damned obvious, it’s sad that it needs to be said, but it does still need to.



  • What about the loss of habitat, anyone who knows even a little bit about birds, at least in the western hemisphere, know that thousands of species only mate in certain areas in certain times of years. The loss of habitats for mating, the loss of food sources in the remaining habitats from pesticides, and the fact that many pesticides and other pollutants LITERALLY DEGRADE BIRD SHELLS AND KILL THEM BEFORE THEY HATCH

    House cats shouldn’t be putting a fucking dent in bird populations and it’s both absurd to think they’re the real threat and disingenuous to the causes of ill that plague our ecology

    I’m not shitting on you, OP, but in definitely shitting on the person who made this infographic and I’m shitting on the people who continue to push the myth that cats are the leading cause of loss in bird populations. They may kill many birds, but they’re not the reason we’re losing them. Not at all by far.

    Capitalism is too broad of a term to make any type of useful argument. Democratic socialism is still a capitalist way of doing things when it’s miles apart from corporatism. Both still fall under Capitalism umbrella, however one is definitely worse than the other.

    Ultimately, commerce will never cease, resources will always cost, etc. Just update your terminology and you’ll find much more reception to your point.

    I think it’s a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, “It tastes like almonds.” as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, “It’s the almond extract.” knowing it’s the cyanide.

    So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
