I Just Watched A Kid Break Down In The Bookstore Because His Books For The Semester Totaled $600 And

even if billie joe was straight (he’s not) teenagers getting offended he used the word faggot in american idiot 16 years after the fact would still be some of the goofiest discourse i have yet to see on this website. if you were young and gay in 2004 that shit rocked your world bc we were living through one of the most powerful resurgences of blind american patriotism and anti-gay evangelical bullshit of the last three decades. i dont think most of yall understand how radical that song, that album, and green day’s overall anti-bush pro-gay stance was for the time. even though we were at the cusp of bush becoming unpopular by the time it was released, american idiot saw a fairly mainstream rock band condemning not just him, but the bigoted, ignorant american culture which created him. to remove all of this context from the song and act like green day was just throwing around homophobic slurs for the hell of it is exactly why people joke nobody has reading comprehension on this website lmao. he’s not weaponizing the term; he’s using it to identify with an alternative american society.

“I only need one bike”

I have my new Tiger in for its first service today and naturally I gravitated towards the Rocket 3 GT on the showroom floor. My Rocket has been down with a transmission problem for over a year. It just feels like the right time to trade in. But a little niggle in the back of my head says it is irresponsible to buy another new bike so soon. But, really, is any motorcycle purchase responsible?

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Honestly, people generally don't want much... They want to eat their favorite food. They want to go to the seaside and smell the fresh air. They want to nap on the grass and listen to music. They want to hold their loved ones in their arms, and be held in return. They want warm clothes, be occupied with a profession/a hobby that does not smother them. They want to feel safe and unafraid. Mostly, they want to live without being ridiculed, manipulated or being forced. And this is why capitalism/modern life overall is so upsetting, depressing and even destructive. Because thinking about how small and simple things you yearn for & how hard it is to even be able to have them really wears you off

Whoever did this stole my idea and I seek to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law

Slight problem

I have bed bugs and not the 4-wheeled kind

I'm about to die
