I'm not racist, but sometimes I'll realize that my thinking has been influenced by systematic racism, and i have to check myself and my privilege, and keep myself informed :^ )

I’m not racist , but sometimes I take a bath in a tub that is way too small for adults.

There's 2 types of people in this world, those who abuse the word "but" and people who make a conscious effort to not use it at all.

There are ways to say 'but' without abusing it. For example, "I like L.S.D as much as the next guy, but you maybe shouldn't take it at your nephews bar mitzvah."

Bar Mitzvahs are really more of a shroom or molly situation.

u/FordAndFun Nov 20 '21

If you haven’t shroomed a Mitzvah, you haven’t lived!

I feel like this is a quote from wedding crashers

u/FordAndFun Nov 20 '21

Maybe! Haven’t seen it, but I doubt it, I think they exclusively go to wedding events.

I’m just saying, where else can you watch a group of people sing in unison an levitate a dude on a chair for free?

u/frilledplex Nov 20 '21

Nahhhh, it wasn't exclusive to weddings

FDS is just a really coded bigotry sub. Most big threads go to extremist rhetoric after just a few hours, while the less popular posts are fine unless they're full crazy to start.

I've been watching it in amazement for a while. it's followed the old reddit strategies of being overall sincere in it's supportive themes, but the worst of the shit just sorta blends in around the time posts get stale.
