Owning any apple product at all is peak conformity.

I couldn't agree more because apple is just too mainstream. Pure conformity.

Eating cake and ice cream on birthday.

Why can’t it be vegetables?

“Oh come on, it’s your birthday! Live a little!”

🤦

No — I literally would prefer to not eat the cake. It would take willpower for me to eat it. Get that trash out my face. *Slaps plate across the room with one hand* *slaps offerer of cake in the face with the other*

I’ll take the ice cream though.

Treating the adoption of a national identity as an awakening is peak conformity.

Identity based on survival can never be about awakening because it will always be false. Survival only offers pseudo-identity.

God is the true identity, because anything you experience is God itself!

Trinitarianism is such a conformity.

Both Trinitarianism and non-Trinitarianism are convoluted approaches and mental gymnastics obsessing over Jesus.

The interpretations of humans being the image of God are adopted because of conformity.

Regarding humans as having a special status for God is conformity.

I’m gonna argue we’re not conforming enough, at least in one area.

Gender-specific and color-specific emojis need to go.

Emojis are an expression of emotion. They don’t need demographic information. I’m not “shrugging and also btw I’m a man 🤷‍♂️🍆 ”. No — I’m just shrugging. 🤷

Emojis are meant to be abstractions. They should be amorphous little blobs that vaguely resemble humans. The classic smiley 🙂 struck a perfect balance. No, I don’t really look like that. I’m just letting you know that I’m smiling.

But now we need them to be JUST the right amount of abstract but also accurately depicting my specific instantiation of humanhood.

No. They’re not people. They’re emojis. They are their own thing. They should be clearly representative of human emotion but clearly not an actual human. 

They don’t have genders. They don’t have races. They don’t have childhoods. Histories. Hopes and dreams. They’re little yellow blobs that communicate emotion. Let them be blobs.

We need different colored eggplants to reflect the true colors of our dicks.

Who has a purple dick?

You’re right. Every person should get their genitalia analyzed via some app and then perfectly reconstructed as an eggplant emoji. Or maybe we should allow for complete customization so you can send whatever you please. This does introduce possibility of misrepresentation, but that’s already a problem
