Not surprising, considering how successful appeasement has been in the past!

I make drawings, well, just with black ink/ fineliner on paper. I have a box full of them and even have some on my wall. Never tried to sell them or even post them. The only people who know it are my husband, my parents, my brother and best friend. Only abstract, maybe tattoo-ish.

Have done this since.. highschool. Comes and goes in phases. When the mood strikes. Have always loved that my hand-eye coordination is so good, can make fluid lines and it almost looks like it's printed. But well, I guess it'll keep going unnoticed. ;)

The people you describe are not progressives...

I guess that's fair, but thinking that empathy is weakness (or something bad in general) is a predominantly right-wing idea. In fact, that's one of the main problems. The right has a severe lack of empathy.

I can see how right-wing idiots might call empathy gay, but bags or walking quickly? I really don't get that.

I don't really have a fandom.. It's just a never-ending string of temporary hyperfixations, although some of them do get reruns.

But hmm, what about:

• Synthesis is the best Mass Effect ending, or
• Chloe Decker is the worst character in Lucifer, and there is zero chemistry in Deckerstar, or
• Dragon Age 2 is the best DA game.

Irrelevant? Like hell it is. My best friend also has agency. They make their own choices, just like my partner. And in that moment, they both chose to screw me over.

Now, we could of course have a debate about who should get more of the blame, but that's besides the point. When it's a random person, they have no ties to me. I don't trust them, love them, feel any connection to them whatsoever. They can't 'screw me over' because they don't know me. But my best friend? Our friendship would forever be ruined and I don't think you can call that irrelevant.

It does kind of depend on who it is, imo. If it really is some random person who might not have even known about our relationship, then no. It's not their fault or their responsibility.

But what if it's your best friend? Then definitely. Both out of my life.

A real looker, that one!

Well, I'm shocked! This never happened before!

In all seriousness, I'm more surprised they still treat this stuff as 'news,' because everyone knows he's a corrupt fuck. Business as usual is not news.
