Imagine living at Avengers Tower where Loki also lives. After the election, you talk about packing your bags and leaving the country. At night Loki appears next to your bed, asking you to stay.
what the fuck

I don’t understand anything anymore honestly

guys a new rainbow magic fairy has announced do you want to see her title and get psychic damage
ALT
everyone in the tags saying “oh but she’s cute” i’m not talking about her adorable design. i’m talking about the psychic damage of seeing the phrase “GAMER FAIRY” and then going back and realizing they named her zelda
Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from “banal” to “insightful” on the input side and “kind of deep” to “incredibly fucking dumb” on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.
if video game company execs had brains capable of thinking more than one financial quarter into the future they would be pushing to onboard the 50-65 age market so they could have a solid base of retirees with low mobility and lots of disposable income in 10+ years but because they’re short-term shit-for-smarts they’re gonna have to wait like half a century to really rake in that sweet sweet old person money and most of that generation won’t even be able to afford a 70$ AAA price tag. idiots. fuckin fools.
I currently work with elderly folks and do you know how fucking bored they are? I walk into people’s rooms and 80% of them are just watching tv all day. Or sitting in the dark. They are so fucking bored and if someone had taught them to play x-box before their ability to retain new information started to degrade they would have more options than fail to do the crossword and then wait 3 hours for the next mealtime but SOMEONE was busy trying to legalize gambling to children so now Joan is just wathcing Fox News all day. She could have been playing Animal Crossing. fuckin hell
I know this point has been made before, but it remains hilarious to me just how much of a losing game it is to send anon hate, rhetorically speaking. Like, your target has full control over how your message is presented, it will be seen chiefly by people who already like them, and it is structurally impossible for you to have the last word
Every time people talk about putting billionaires to the guillotine I’m thinking “in this scenario where you can execute the richest people on the planet you can clearly do whatever you want, so just take their money”
I personally think it would be way funnier to stick Bezos and Musk and them in bland middle class lives like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas, it’s a perfectly good life if you aren’t accustomed to being able to buy entire political parties or go to space or command a herd of creepy little followers who would probably literally kill for you
Want these chumps to suffer? Make them unimportant.
I want billionaires to live a basically comfortable life in a society where no-one, including them, has to worry about food, shelter, healthcare, or transport. I bet that would be miserable for them.
Yup! They would look around and see ordinary people living nice stable lives with their basic needs taken care of, and they would know this was all done with their money but without their input, and they would haaaaaaate it.
Funny how treating everyone equally works such that those who’ve previously suffered find it blissfully rewarding and those who’ve wallowed in stolen privilege find it agonizingly punitive, huh?
The thing about bugs bunny is that he lives and dies by his bits. He’s fully capable of killing you if he wanted, but the thing is, not only is he a nice guy, he’s a funny guy. To beat bugs bunny, many people assume that you just have to not fall for the jokes. If he hits you with a pie, you don’t flinch, and eventually you’ll ware him down. The issue is, misery will only last you so long. There’s only so much bits to endure before it becomes funny. And whoever is getting laughed at is losing. Instead, to kill bugs bunny, you have to beat him at his own game. When he throws a pie, don’t try to sidestep or be a sourpuss, that’s playing into his hands. Instead, you comically open your mouth and swallow it whole. This is how you kill a god.
Not in the fucking slightest ^_^
OK but genuinely the concept of ‘Bugs Bunny Rules’ or the idea of a being that can conjure, perform, or enact literally ANYTHING, on the CONDITION that it’s funny, is one of my favorite ideas. I’d genuinely love to see a serious villain that operates under Bugs Bunny rules.

Here’s a website where you can do something similar from your browser! http://radio.garden/

As the globe is moved, the focuses in on locations beneath it and the monitor shows the radio stations being tuned in as a variety of music around the world with each movement of the globe. End ID]

This is a little funny, but in the specific context of the Amish and related groups “shunning” is a specific and very negative term.
A person is shunned, usually under order of the religious authority of their community, when they’ve broken the rules of the community. Practices vary by community (in fact, to my knowledge several sect differences are based at least partially on how the sect practices shunning), but usually no one can eat with, do business with, or otherwise help the shunned person. They are isolated and have support withdrawn from them, with the specific intention that they are then forced to return to strict compliance with the community’s rules.
The Amish and most similar Anabaptist organizations are high-control groups and cults, and they punish members who seek to leave.
Like, this is exactly what the posts about “turn off your phone if it’s going to put you in danger!” were worried would happen.
This is not even slightly funny. Go on, someone explain the punchline for “abuse victims only means of safe contact with the outside world was discovered by the abusers”. Cus thats what this is.
An Early Diagnosis is NOT a Privilege, nor is an Late Diagnosis
Despite what people online are saying, especially Reddit (r/autism cough cough), being early diagnosed or late diagnosed doesn’t automatically mean you’re privileged or you were lucky or you had good parents (I mean, sometimes it does, but not automatically) or that you’re rich or anything.
It means you were found as disabled and so much earlier in life than others were, which could mean a handful of good yet bad things at the same time.
One such good thing meant early intervention, and much more easier plus faster access to school accomodations like more time for tests as well as taking tests in a seperate room from your classmates, more time to process instructions and more. I had good parents, and people who were generally accepting of me as a person.
But, still, even with all of those good things, i still had bad things happen to me. I still got bullied by peers and ignored by teachers because they think i’m “strong enough” or whatever, i still got ignored by some teachers in both elementary and high school, and i still got isolated by my peers.
This may be the same for those of you who were later diagnosed in life than what was considered the normal age of diagnosis, and still pros and cons of being diagnosed. These things happen to anyone, despite age of diagnosis and what diagnosis you are and what levels/functioning labels/support needs you are.
These complaints and tireless discussions or arguments about what is considered a privilege by the autism community needs to stop.
People who are late diagnosed have created several coping strategies, know how to mask well and effectively, force through mute episodes and many more, but still, you are still considered disabled. Those who are early diagnosed were taught to mask, to cope, and know how it feels to struggle but still you are considered disabled.
That is not a privilege.
Reminder that this is my opinion and again, i am not forcing this down your throats, this is just an awareness post.
So many people have wetlands in their yards and don’t even know! “This spot in my yard is always soggy and wet! How do I fix it?”
They will of course tell you to install a French drain. DO NOT DO IT! Plant Wetland plants and allow it to helpfully absorb puddles of heavy rain and give you the gift of beauty!
It makes me so sad how many wetlands were destroyed.
And the wetlands remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it as peat! We need more of them to mitigate climate change!
land developers: *Destroys the homes of salamanders, frogs, and rare plants to build a housing development on top of what once was a Wetland*
land developers: Why is this land so wet?!?!
If you have the wet soggy spot in your yard you should be filled with pride and contentedness, because you have the ability to grow a special class of cool plants (the Wetland Plants) that others of us can only dream of and sigh after.
listening to music with headphones is so awesome especially when it shoots straight into your brain and you can pick out all its little layers like sandwich ingredients
darth vader voice: if i had a credit for every time some ginger jedi fuck broke into my inquisitorious and flooded the place, i’d have two credits. which is nothing compared to the power of the force but it’s weird that it happened twice

“One important distinction between Surveillance Capitalism and enshittification is that enshittification posits that the platform is bad for everyone. Surveillance Capitalism starts from the assumption that surveillance advertising is devastatingly effective (which explains how your racist Facebook uncles got turned into Jan 6 QAnons), and concludes that advertisers must be well-served by the surveillance system.”

tumblr is full of phrases that we are all so desensitized to that they’re just normal, but if you say it to a person in real life its so funny to them its a one-hit insta kill
This is about when I said “Everything I know about [coworker] I have learned against my will” and everyone thought it was so fucking hilarious
other things i’ve unwittingly said that made everyone around me lose it include
There’s a lot to unpack here, but let’s throw away the whole suitcase
Bold of you to assume that I [i forget what it was but others got a kick out of it]
Ideologically a big fan of science documentaries meant for the average tv watcher to understand because education is important & most people aren’t already familiar with newer and/or more niche subjects (i.e. astrobiology) but also . I already know all of this. I’m gonna have to start reading research papers or something
Science communication with the general public is very important but it is a little funny when it’s just like. Narrator: these are called “molecules”
We need science communication that works for ALL levels, from stuff targeted at the average person to stuff targeted at doctors of the subject, and everything inbetween! And all of them should have production value!
Capitalism is a fucking bastard that only lets the first 3 layers of a beautiful pyramid of science exist!
Look we all want a robo dog but if you kill someone with a sledgehammer to steal theirs, they are going to find you. There’s no way a 75k$ dog doesn’t have gps
we are killing the dog
NO.
ALL DOGS ARE PRECIOUS.
Even robot ones.
its not a dog, its a machine used and designed for police surveillance and the entire reason they made it dog shaped is so idiots like you would go “awwww robot dog how precious” instead of seeing them as the oppressive tools they are.
we’re killing the fucking dog
That’s not a robot dog.
It’s a four-legged robot spider.
It is not a dog, a spider, a chicken, a horse, a fish, a tick, a mosquito, a tapeworm or a baby
It is a weapon
There is nothing morally wrong about breaking weapons that are hurting people for any reason other than to prevent those people from hurting others worse
the dog robots are fully capable of hurting people, and badly. failsafes that would prevent that have not been installed. the police are deploying a thing out in public that can maim anyone who touches it wrong.
look, when i was a kid i was passionately in love with the idea of robots–that humans would one day create another sort of intelligence to share our world with– and believed very firmly that we should respect and protect all our robot friends from the start, so there would be no violent humans-against-robots revolution or anything.
anyway it turns out that the people trying to keep end-stage capitalism running are really banking on us feeling more love for the robots than for the kind of people they’re going to be using the robots to oppress.
so like. maybe lets all agree right now that if a robot is being used to hurt a person, you need to smash the fucking robot. they’re going to make the robots really cute. they’re going to show us so many movies about how much robots need to be loved. and then they are going to use robots to hurt people.
let’s try not to fall for it, okay?
And don’t forget that scary af episode of Black Mirror, Metalhead. Robot dogs can fuck right off.
They created a weapon, told you to call it a friend and watched as your empathy became their trap and tool.
For more information on how to disable the robot dog, there is an excellent Twitter thread.
