People like Anon‘s dad are the reason why earth is still such a backward hillbilly place. Irrational disdain for harmless things like queerness, meanwhile actual problems and crimes like global warming, PFAS usage, genocide and corruption from top government officials are being ignored.
Fun fact: Humans are less socially intelligent than apes.
Peak “fuck you, got mine”. Same with my grandparents, they were anti-immigrant immigrants. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be…?
The concept of racial purity is dumb everywhere, but it’s especially dumb in the Mediterranean, where they had these things called “boats”. There is just no way that an island smack in the middle of this shit wouldn’t have DNA from all over the fucking place.
That reminds me of Richard Pryor talking about his trip to Africa. He would ask people there what tribe it looked like he was from and they would say “you look Italian”.
I have two half-Thai cousins (Floridians, naturally) whose mother was a Thai immigrant, and they love to bitch about immigrants (as does my white uncle, who brought this Thai immigrant to the US from Thailand). Neither looks Thai, but one looks generically Central American and the other looks Japanese and they got abused growing up for that. It’s really wild to me how this gave them no empathy at all for the shit immigrants have to endure; instead they do their best to be caricatures of white people.
Just to have an ackshoolly moment: humans are apes. If you mean humans are less socially intelligent than gorillas, male gorillas tend to do stuff like killing all the children fathered by the previous silverback. Human stepfathers at least sometimes don’t do that.
I meant apes as in great apes, but you‘re right, humans are included in the Hominidae superfamily.
Gorillas almost only kill each other‘s children when the silverback dies and the group dissolves. Mostly because food becomes scarce then.
Meanwhile I have seen human parents neglect their children and steal their allowance to try and win a rare Labubu doll.
So yeah I‘d argue that as a species, the apes still got their shit together better than humans. (Except chimpanzees obv.)

I’m from a family of immigrants, my parents complain about immigration.
Bitch, WE ARE IMMIGRANTS 🤦♂️

Sicilians? lol
Haha, you too?
No, I just like Tarantino movies lol.

Especially after that island was invaded dozens of times since it’s a great strategic location. Grandpa was very dumb.

Then again, gorillas don’t have a concept of money or labubu dolls. Basically, our society gives more opportunities to fuck up.
