the Elliot Page trans book

man i didn't even know that existed
they'll make a children's book about fucking anything nowadays, Elliot didn't even do anything. at least Ellen was an actress, a bit of a shit one at that... Elliot is just a fuckboy, if I wanted to see that when I was 10 I'd walk into the 8th grade and look for anyone wearing a cap backwards

why can't these people just figure out what kids want? this is the same issue with all children's media now, toys, cartoons, movies... they just don't GET kids

A lot of schools don't even have the books themselves, they just play a youtube video of someone else reading it because it isn't worth using school funds to get them physically.

lol, i was wondering if something like that was occurring

"Mommy, mommy I want you to read me a bedtime story of Kamala Harris, the coronavirus, and Elisabeth Warren."

This started in earnest with Obama in 2008. There were also kids that sang songs about him too, they were all the rage. Now it’s just part and parcel for non-white, non-male candidates.

We could probably make a thread on these stupid so-called children's books.... There are lots of conservative grifters who put out the same thing. What kind of weirdo is going to want to read a Steven Crowder children's book let alone a Anthony fauci book.

on a tangentially related note, when did "I AM SPEAKING" become this 'powerful' commonly used statement that people adopted, all it does is evoke the image of someone disruptive and self important shouting over others

That’s exactly what they want to evoke and while it is disruptive and self important, they consider that a good thing because <insert progressive blather here>.

Have we discussed the insanity that is the Stanley Cup?
- $50 something water bottle reselling for $200+ in some cases
- People having a collection of dozens of these things like Funko Pops
There are fights are people waiting in from of a Target going after these stupid metal cups like animals to fresh meat.

Why is this you ask? Well they recently made a pink cup with Starbucks thats just.... pink. No other special technology, just the fact that its a different color and has Starbucks printed on the side. Enough to make people CONSOOM.

it's not actually properly metal, is it? i'm betting it's lined with plastic

 

[fishercat]

All I know about Stanley cups is that they're actually really, really good at keeping your drinks cold. So they're not useless hunks of plastic. It's still insane to own more than one.

You gotta work hard for a Stanley Cup my man. You think Gretzky got handed four of them for free or something?

I bet he thought the was the king that day.

He looks 45 but still dresses like he did at 16.

He's like a human living fossil.

I bet they don't mention the part when he left a bunch of people, mostly gays, to die from AIDS.

what does this mean

Where's the part when she fakes her way into college and politics by pretending to be indian only for a DNA test to show she's whiter than an SS officer?

I blame the "water girls" (koolaid with more steps) for this one. They seemed to start collecting them first to show off their water girl clout and its spread.

When I visited my ten year old niece for her birthday she proudly showed me a water bottle her parents had got her. It didn't look all that interesting, just a dull green water bottle. I couldn't quite see why she was so excited, it wasn't a pretty colour and didn't have cute designs. She then proceeded to tell me how this bottle was all over TikTok and that her friends were going to be so jealous that she had one. I mentioned that she was ten, right?

A few videos that I happened upon the last few days which made me check this thread.

Woman waiting outside Target at 4am:

Some cup accessories:

Water station:

Water station

Why the syrups...she is fatter than me already.
Just find the water brand that tastes good, ffs.

 

[I am Jack's dead arm]

You gotta work hard for a Stanley Cup my man. You think Gretzky got handed four of them for free or something?

It might be the edibles, but I literally thought they were talking about some sort of Stanley Cup replica. So this is just a regular cup like a Yeti? What's the big deal? These videos of people fighting over them have to be set up by Target and/or the company.

 

[Cuntspiracy Man]

Why the syrups...she is fatter than me already.

tbf most of the appeal of those syrups is the fact that they're sugar free, which is why they feel so confident calling it water
but i'd argue consuming that much aspartame isn't much better, if not worse...

the thing is, it's mostly aesthetic. they're not this passionate about tasty drinks, they just love the appearances, the prettyness of the water, because as i'm sure i've said before- bug people cannot exist when unobserved. it's a desire to make their whole life a show for others, they can't drink water if it's not pretty

Some cup accessories:

she's trying to market holders, platers, straw covers and cozies.... for a cup that by design already has holders, is meant to be portable, closes and is insulated
the thing is already a complete package and they still manage to find ways to consume accessories for it

Never underestimate the power of basic bitches power of conformity. It's all a status symbol for them. Is it good cup? Sure, but for them it's an identity.

Also it's not the edibles. Every guy I know has confused these stupid cups for the hockey trophy. I don't even like sports, and it's the first thing that jumped into my head.

 

[Barry Williams]

Add me to the list who also thought this was a hockey thing as that's the only Stanley Cup I've ever heard of. I don't use TikTok.

The Stanleys aren't as overpriced as the Yetis and they work better (in my experience, although I will say that Thermos is still king of the castle for insulated drink/soup container).

The big deal is that they're trendy and Tiktokers use them.

kids don't WILLINGLY tend to pick this stuff up, but if teacher says to read it, they'll have to read it

Here's what actually happens: In elementary school, the nuance completely goes over the kids' heads and the teacher gets frustrated that the kid misses the point. Even the wokest teacher ends up leaning on normal stuff because you can't manage a classroom otherwise. Whatever wokery or inappropriate shit actually sticks is a product of parenting or lack thereof.

In middle or highschool, woke English teacher tries to make kids read a book written by a queer two spirit Deaf retard of color and everyone gets bored, is unable to have the stimulating convo woke teacher had in college. After getting underwater on grading and planning, will eventually pick up tried and true texts and lessons the more experienced teachers shared.

If anything, look forward to the hilarious stories your kids bring home and have a plan to supplement what they're getting at school. Over summer see what kids can pick up at community college and either they can graduate early or take more electives/have a free period during the year.
