I want a boy toy

Well, good news, I asked each toy their pronouns and neither responded, so I guess the meds are working. Now, do you want a hot wheels or a barbie?

Those people will eventually grow old and die while their children grow up to be slightly less conservative (on average).

Progress is coming. One funeral at the time.

I meqn, i agree but they play different games and this is why both are necessary.

Hot Wheels are so much fun as an adult.

My boy is really into cars by default, which is funny since I'd 100% be down with Barbies, too. Daughter though, she just wants Legos and jigsaw puzzles... at age 4. She's just not into gendered stuff, she just wants to build.

She yearns for the mines

No she yearns for the skyscrapers

Why not both? Lol

I think she was quite clear

Hot wheels are absolutely not cooler than Barbie

Hoch- und Tiefbau as we call it in german ... not sure how to translate this ... "building up and down"?

not sure whi said this

Society doesn't change when new ideas are brought up, Society changes when old people die.

It was fucking Max Plank!!!

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it ...

Close enough

That's what I thought 20 years ago but today I am not so sure :(

This is a confusing conversation. Why couldn’t they say Hot Wheels?

Chelsea is a great enby name.

bro has never seen acceleracers

They may be neat but they’re not cool

Don't let her read Fountain head

This is the person who also throws a bitch fit when a video game asks them if they want body type a or b in the character creator.

Sexism.

If only actually DOING this wouldn't get your ass fired.

What do you mean? Why does sexism prevent them from asking for the toy by name?

But they happily use their USB type C. Hypocrites

For real, the older I get the more sure I am this is part of an endless struggle.

At what age do people catch conservatism? Is there a vaccine?

Do I have to order food to get a boy toy?

City skylines or factorio when she starts playing video games?

I need to know if she's in my team or the other team (the other team is just way smarter than me, there's no bad blood <3)

Genau

I like to think we're 2 steps forward and 1 step back kind of species

high and low builds

No there are other ways to get one, but food certainly helps

Hey I'm wondering what her team will be too, although I'm more of an expert pack Minecrafter myself (so probably factorio or satisfactory lol).

Watch her end up more a Crusader Kings 3 though like a friend of mine... Lol

The customer is implying that it is obvious between a barbie and a hot wheels which is gendered for boys. So instead of saying which toy they want, they are expecting the employee to identify which is for boys. It's a subtle way of reinforcing gender binary and societal expectations of what is "appropriate" for children to want to play with.

That is unfortunately not how anything works. These people were young as well once, and that didn't stop them from becoming conservative.

You know what she means, just give her the car and be done with it, take your entitled world improvement bullshit elsewhere.

Generally the age when they start to feel overwhelming fear of change and the unfamiliar. Exposure therapy is probably the best cure.

ooooh, look mom, a reactionarism

Aw, having some big feelings today?

entitled

I'd love for you to go into more detail about what you meant be this

Right wing propaganda is a helluva drug.

factorio

It's a damn child, how dare you put this evil on her at such a young age.

Victoria 3 and Europa Universalis V are both great, and better than CK3 imo.

Less incest too

Infinifactory it is

I would argue with ma boss "i don't know which is supposed to be a boy toy to be honest, we only have hot wheels and barbies"

"Please select the toy whose attributes are more likely to statistically correlate with the reproductive caste demographic which has been labeled 'male' by the consensus of Homo Sapiens who speak English."

"Ma'am do you think a college educated sociologist would work at a fast food drive-thru?"

"In this economy? Absolutely, yes."

"..."

"..."

"...okay fair, I'll put the toy car in the bag."

Spoken like someone who never worked a counter. Being literal to customers is one of the few "entitlements" you have in that position

Nothing says "entitled" like working at a fast food chain

This is just good advice for anyone in general.
