CRT monitors were all we had when I went to school in the 90s, and I turned out gay. Coincidence?

I know groping is a big issue on trains in Japan, but I think it rarely if ever reaches anal penetration.

Nearly three months into the war, I think it's now safe to say absolutely everyone would potentially be killed if they lived there, but anyway, let's listen to them talk about how us queers are the ones that need to stop targeting children.

I'm honestly surprised I haven't yet heard anyone use "Palestinian fetuses voted for Hamas in the womb" in order to justify anti-abortion laws.

I don't think women react particularly well to having their anuses non-consensually fingered either. Submissive bottoms are the only non-violent people.

Ahem, don't you know drone bombing brown kids and increasing deportations while claiming to stand for freedom, progress, and dignity for all is in fact the epitome of zen?

Well I think we should change the definition so that it means being hit with a stick in an unwelcome manner.

I don't see why I need to be bothered about something greatly in order to make a post. I'm at work, so it's not like I've got anything better to do. Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I shitpost on company time.

Yet no one ever calls being slapped with a stick a zen-like experience.

Be mindful of it's origin, and consider if it actually has any meaning in the context you're using it in.

I've seen people use it in a context that has nothing to do with meditation or calm. The example I saw was about bartending. Maybe it's not always orientalist, but I think it can often be. For example, I once saw some place describe the Japanese word "genki", which means to be well or in good health, as being a zen-like state of mind. At that point, you may as well call it a "seventh day adventism-like state of mind", because both terms are meaningless in this context.
