Ateists want their raptors scientifically accurate - with plumage.
Just get a greyhound… it’s basically the same thing, except when they then turn around, and push you out of the bed.
Are you kidding? There’s no way I can afford that thing. I live in America man, I struggle to pay for my own food and healthcare.
I don’t see the problem.
I mean, if the package includes a Velociraptor that actually cuddles instead of opening doors and hunting me, then sign me up.
I didn’t want this…but now?
Open the door. Get on the floor. It’s your turn to walk the dinosaur.
Boom boom acka lacka lacka boom boom
I mean, not neccessarily only specifically that world, but it’s certainly an option.
Just make that dinosaur minipig-sized and you have a deal.
Not me! My pet dinosaur can sleep on the fucking floor!
You heartless monster. I can’t say no, so both of mine pile in bed with me.
Accurate. I am an atheist and I do want that.
Less than accurate. Where is my wife’s boyfriend? Can’t have him out in the cold!
Sleeping in the raptor bed
Consensually.
I’m cool with this
Nice kitty
Why does the right wing spend so much time worrying about what other people are doing? Is it because they have so much guilt in their own lives?
Yeah and TBF I’m pretty sure a lot of “right wing” folks would love to have a pet dino.
But they’d get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people “don’t worry, he’s friendly” just before it bites some kid’s head off
I mean, the meme here is satire, no idea what it originally was supposed to be, someone slapped on the message about atheists for a joke.
But yeah, broadly it IS accurate to how conservatives feel about the kinds of families we want, the kinds of pets we want, the kinds of food we eat, the clothes we wear, etc. Every change to that normalized order terrifies them, it’s in the name.
Feeling afraid of change is fine. Most of us have those kinds of feelings, most of us are going to have wary responses to the unfamiliar. But the conservative base in the US in particular have the worst combination in the world, which is fear of change plus stupidity, so they fall prey to any story supplied to them about what exactly they’re scared of and give it no actual thought. All feelings, no thinking.
“Conservatism has exactly one proposition, to wit: there is an in-group group in which the law protects but does not bind, and there is an out-group in which the law binds but does not protect.”
I’m sure I didn’t quote that properly, but you get the point.
When viewing reality through the lens of life being zero-sum, if one is not policing others, they are being policed. Add xenophobia and fear of others who are noncomforming and you end up with someone who feels the need to judge everyone around them.
