Metal head here who idolizes Dolly. She’s a national treasure the likes of Mister Rogers. Who has also been attacked by the right.
For those interested she’s in a couple of VERY trans positive episodes of The Orville (one just her song 9-5 and the other in a long scene as herself).
Anyone bashing Dolly hates freedom is no good. A full on poophead.
She’s also in the movie 9 to 5, which was what the song was written for, which is about three women who have had enough of their misogynist boss and get revenge on him. On top of that, she starred in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which is one of the few films which doesn’t denigrate sex workers and actually shows them as normal people.
I was only 3 when it came out, but it was definitely a regular staple of the cable movie channels when I got older. My dad was a film historian, so we had all the movie channels so he could tape movies to show them in class. 9 to 5 would show up on occasion.
As you suggested, what an amazing cast!
Edit: Just read this on the IMDB-
This was Dolly Parton’s theatrical film debut. In preparation for her role as Doralee Rhodes, she not only committed to memory her own part, but the parts of every other role in the film. Apparently, the two experienced starring actresses, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, burst out laughing when Parton let on that she believed that pictures were filmed in the chronological order of a film’s script.
One of the many things I love about The Orville is that the song 9-5 became a revolutionary feminist anthem to the Moclans. And that she was sweet enough to make a cameo.
She’s all around awesome. Always helped people, always gives back. Always been kind. And a certified rock star! I have no tattoos, never seen the allure. But if I woke up with Dolly’s face tattooed I wouldn’t even be angry.
When I first started in electrical work, we’d take turns with a sledge hammer. Then we bought one of these, and it cut the time in half. Now, I use a driver bit for my demolition hammer and it’s done in about 30 seconds. The driver bit also works well for fence posts, just sleeve a 24" section of EMT over it.
Man, I hate driving rods with anything other than a hammer driver. I live in the Appalachians and every damn time I hit some gigantic river rock or some shit, its never just 8’ of clay. That post-driver is a step up from a sledge like you said for sure, but imma just hop on an excavator and shove the bitch in if I can these days. Too old for the dumb shit ;)
We didn’t have one of these. Instead, I got to crouch on the ground and hold the post with my hands while my father brought the front-end loader bucket down on it. Good times.
Yeah they evolved to keep much more baby-like features into adulthood with a big head and huge eyes because that’s cute to us and triggers strong instincts of protection and love. I forget the exact name for it. And my cats do be looking extremely cute all the time so it was very successful.
I’ve long had a theory that cats have evolved to be just cute enough that we don’t murder them. Cats are evil, so it’s understandable that humans would want to kill them, and I think we probably did early on, but some of them were so cute that we didn’t. Those surviving cute cats reproduced and made more cute cats, but they also became more evil. Over generations, we have created beings that are supremely evil, but they’re just so gosh darned cute that we let them get away with it.
Great, seeing a picture of a trans man has made me aware of the existence of trans people, and therefore, according to GOP logic, it's only a matter of time before I become trans myself and have to fucking go bra shopping.
Not if you become a part of the itty bitty titty committee. As a current member who was once a Biggus Tittus in the past, I can say with confidence that bras are a tool of oppression and you couldn’t pay me to wear them again.
Ugh this. I hate it so much, in fact, that when I finally (FINALLY) found one that actually, really fit, I spent almost €800 on bras, just to buy a bunch of them and prevent the necessesity to go bra-shopping. Plus, I checked recently and they still have them, so I’ll just order a bunch more and be done for a while again.
I mean, sometimes I look in the mirror and think ‘well, I guess they look nice’ but god, breasts really are more trouble than they’re worth. Especially in summer. And especially if you don’t have like a ‘standard’ size.
The reality is that they aren’t held in check. Rural crime is widely underreported because cops in the boonies won’t take a report about domestic violence unless it involves a trip to the hospital
unfortunately, this is often true in big cities as well.
things are a lot better in that regard than they used to be. dv is no longer by default regarded as a “private matter,” laws and resources have improved.
on the flip side, dv can be hard to prove, especially to a busy cop or judge. and policing is also not a profession averse to abusers.
As an atheist I can’t tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don’t just rape and murder people if I don’t believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.
For me I’d say its a mix of legal repercussions AND knowing that murder is wrong and that a society that allows it isnt really a safe society to be a part of, so while someone might be being awful enough to me that the thought crossed my mind, maybe I should go find somewhere to cool down. But, like you said, god had nothing to do with any of that
True, and since probably neither of us are in the heat of murderous anger right now, let’s think back to that time we HAVE been in the heat of murderous anger, And I’m telling you, that sonofabitch DESERVES it, right?! He COMPLETELY DESTROYED my life and he KNOWS it, and he will never even acknowledge it or apologize. Even now the only reason I’d regret following through with this ideation is the dread of prison and losing all my freedoms forever. But yeah, these guys are safe, at least from MY wrath. I moved 2000 miles away. But surely they fuck up a lot of things and a LOT of people are equally angry at them, so hopefully karma does its thing with them.
LOL thank you, I was just venting. I don’t get any opportunities whatsoever to vent about that particular issue that’s always quite a bit of PTSD. Thank you for the hugs. I’m a good person that did not deserve to be wronged by those two people.
The legal repercussions would be a secondary thing to me. I have no problem breaking an unjust law if I think I can do so. I do not feel the slightest bit of guilt violating drug laws.
If I murdered someone? I wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt.
Both points, being A: Controlling the population when they are already adult and B: Controlling the population by raising them “correct”, are equally valid, though. Imo
There are other pictures of her showing that despite the cluster of no fucks given by the scammy organiser, she did try her best making a good times for the kids that were there. Still am hilarious pict.
OP has misunderstood the joke being made (“haha this is an unfortunate picture”) and is using it to be cruel to a stranger (“bUt ShE PrObAbLy WoN’t mAkE bEtTeR cHoIcEs”) .
Go fuck yourself, OP. You’re the one that needs to make better choices.
My only reference for Glasgow is a Yahtzee quote that is something about how while you may get your eyes gouged out with glass while there, it’s not what you go there for; you go to Glasgow to purchase heroin
I saw an article asking people to stop bullying her. Like who is bullying her? I see people posting her photo as a meme, and I mean it’s perfect meme material, but nobody is making fun of her, they’re making fun of the experience. Even us laughing about the meme aren’t laughing at her even a little bit, just at how funny the pic is
Conspiracy theorists are hard at work trying to fit today’s events into an updated conspiracy theory that shows that her silence is actually part of the deep state plan.
I was looking forward to sneering at those but haven’t seen any. Apparently I’m much better at creating a safe space away from the right wing loonies than I realized.
Edit: Ah, the secret is twitter. Of course. I see them now. lol
I think Taylor Swift is married to a player of one of the teams competing for the superbowl.
She previously encouraged young people to vote (but not for whom), which would be bad for Republicans as they’re unpopular with young people.
Right wing media cooked up a theory that the super bowl was fixed so the team of Taylor Swift’s husband would win, resulting in Taylor Swift being called to the victory celebration where she then would endorse Joe Biden.
As far as I take it from this thread, the team actually won, but the endorsement didn’t happen, confusing conspiracy nutters everywhere.
Black Friday was my gateway, a werewolf boy for cheap. Then, discontinued toys back for a ‘until they’re gone’ surprise sale, and you know I was getting myself a Liger or two. Then when I needed a bag a few years ago, oh look they have that too, oh and condoms and stickers… They have holiday cock lights, too now!
Think about the cybersecurity implications - how many people get cheap shitty sex toys (jelly toys aren’t sanitizable btw 🤢). There’s already a lot of issues with smart lights, fridges, having default root passwords or already shipped compromised… now you can have a botnet inside your butt.
You can’t just talk about teledildonics without mentioning the great buttplug.io. Its creator even has notifications set up for when someone mentions teledildonics on Reddit (maybe not anymore, haha). Many games have support for it through a mod and IIRC one officially released a ‘sex update’ to support buttplug.io. Not a sex game, by the way.
The best bit of is I don’t think he even said anything? He said he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it, that’s super dumb but I haven’t seen anything he said about the characters and no one in here is talking about it.
I think people have imagined how he probably feels and now we have to hear about that too!
he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it
How you play a video game is as much a moral choice as writing/reading about the same.
I’ve found it’s a huge red flag when someone’s opinions are always hardline and binary like this. It’s literally choosing to be unreasonable when you never consider nuance, context, etc. I would agree that some issues are black and white, but most things in the world are shades of grey…
For me as outsider they look even more desturbing, it’s about a kids show and they dress up really fucking weard but I guess it could be a unfair assumption for om my side too, kinks are always kind of weard!
Depends on what you mean by ‘comparable’! I think the two fandoms are quite similar, just that bronies focus on being a fan of one series whereas furries are more fans of the idea of anthropomorphized characters, or animal-ish characters.
And there’s a lot of differences between fans, too. Just in like any fandom. I’m pretty sure for some it might be a kink like the stereotype says, but other MLP fans use it as a vehicle for self-expression or self-discovery through the prosocial messages and themes. Ultimately it’s a complicated topic that one could write a lot about!
Can we not bring the randomly hating groups of people doing benigin things from Reddit? Please? What’s wrong with drawing MLP characters on a pixel map exactly?
you don’t find its plan, revealed here, to cut you in half and attach your legs, at the hips, to another pair of legs (instead of an upper body) disturbing?
Yes, and it’s a great use of AI. Ai is great for this sort of surreal shit, whether for Humor purposes or just to be wowed. This is a much better lane for Ai.
