It’s normal to be alone and not have a sex life in your mid 20s. It’s normal to have missed out on dating and love growing up and it’s normal to go through school and college without anyone being interested in you and it’s normal that your parents met at your age and it wasn’t either of their first relationship and it’s normal to be so lonely and touch starved it hurts to breathe
It’s so fucking over everyone. Let’s go into the volcano
Hbomberguy literally has me writing this assignment thinking “hey did I add any actual information to this topic or am I just rephrasing this article?” and now this fucking 12 slide PowerPoint has used eight sources that I’m using to draw from to get a varied sense of what actually happened and being able to make my own claims based off of multiple sources of information. This assignment would have taken three less hours if I’d done it five days ago. This is an improvement.
Look I know I don’t have, like, followers on here but I wanna spread this thing wherever I can.
I’m adding Mickey Mouse to my game the literal instant I can legally do so and I thought that was funny. Check it out on Steam or show your friends so they can find out that Mickey’s inaugural project into the public domain won’t be a shitty slasher movie.
I love this post because the replies are like “for anyone who doesn’t know what nestle did, they benefited from [insert human rights violation here]” but nestle has done SO many fucked up things you get a different topic in every comment
Nestle has:
Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.
Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.
Used slavery to produce their cocoa.
Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.
Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.
Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.
Price-fixed food items.
Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.
The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.
Nestlé is LITERALLY the largest food company in the world and have one of the worst track records. Pls avoid their products if you can
Nestlé is LITERALLY the largest food company in the world BECAUSE they have one of the worst track records. It is impossible to make that much money without lying, stealing, and killing.
we have this app called toogoodtogo where restaurants/cafes/bakeries/hotels and so on sell their leftovers for really cheap to reduce foodwaste
i got all of this for €4 from starbucks
bless
The America version is called FoodForAll
I love TooGoodToGo all of this sushi cost me £3.50 (the chinese food cost me £3.59)
YOOOOOOO, they’re formalizing this?!?!
I used to do community service at a community breakfast, we’d go to the local Safeway and get all their stale bread, the local bakery for their stale baked goods and whatnot.
They throw away so much food it’s ridiculous, I’m glad someone finally created a program like this!
The American app isn’t available everywhere but if you’re broke in NY or Boston, check it out!
The US app logo currently looks like this and was last updated 3 weeks ago (as of January 25th 2020)
TooGoodToGo is available in many European countries, including the UK, much of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Iberian peninsula.
In Canada we have flash food, I dont know if it’s just confined to loblaw stores but you can get food that stores have to throw out for dirt cheap
I know I reblogged this once already but I’m back to say there’s an Australian version!
YWaste has been around since 2017 apparently, so they’re quite well established if you’re Australian and in need of options
Adding to the list, there’s a Czech version as well! It’s not available/in use everywhere, but should be okay for bigger cities
except that white people didn’t immigrate into the united states… they funded the united states. you can’t illegally immigrate into a society you created.
did you actually just say white people created society in america
christmas in less than a week no snow temperatures regularly hitting above 50°. IN MASSACHUSETTS
pisses me off so much when people bring this up and then are like “well i’m not complaining because i hate the cold!!!!” okay well you are in one of the Supposed to be cold states. Where the cold is supposed to happen. are you not worried
“I want,” the man said to the art robot, and then described an image in some detail. “Certainly,” said the art robot. A printout came out of its chest. “Thank y- Hey! What’s this?” “A list of artists who make images of the kind you describe, and who are accepting commissions.”
I saw some furry art, and now I’m thinking of the naming convention of vertebrae.
C-3
L-2
T-6
How do we differentiate between cervical and coccygeal vertebrae? Humans have a coccyx but not separate coccygeal vertebrae so we don’t denote them the same way, but like …do vets? Or what?
AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away
there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you.
There’s been several times when I’ve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I don’t want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.
“This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art” is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul
too good a take to be left in the tags
Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: “It’s beautiful but I don’t like it.” And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it meant to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?

This is a conversation that comes up pretty frequently with my spouses while we’re watching The Voice. “This isn’t my thing, but I can appreciate that they’re really good at it.” The sooner you learn to appreciate that you don’t have to like something and that doesn’t make it objectively bad, the happier you will be, and I mean that most sincerely.
Common mistake of new tumblr users is that they start off by only following art accounts that only post like monthly, and then they’re confused by why their dash is so dead. Girlie you need to get yourself some Post Hunter Gatherers too to get a more varied experience
Many humans respond well to and respect spite and sarcasm. It may seem counterproductive and counterintuitive, but those manners of expressing complex emotions are not inherently negative.
Sarcasm is an attempt at saying something lighthearted in a negative manner; this works best with a historical basis of repeatable behavior. In a way it is lying: without the intent to deceive. It is an insult: without malice. It is an allusion to an inside joke that does not exist. Sarcasm in its most optimal form is understood as playful. In its worst form it’s emotional manipulation.
Spite on the other hand is defined by ones intentions. Spite is an emotional drive to do something in response to the actions, words, or beliefs of others or even oneself. This can be for good or bad outcomes. As a personal example:
When I joined Cross Country in high school, I had never ran extracurricularly, and it showed. The varsity runners took bets on if I would return or not. I might have quit, had I not wanted to overcome their prejudices of me — joined debate club, which was my second choice.
Often spite is demonstrated by lashing out at the individual who had wronged you. However, this is rarely constructive. Even lashing out can be constructive with patience, cooperation, and understanding. Its just less impulsive. Constructive relationships are greater than immediate gratification.
People like GLaDOS. She is witty and snarky, and she has a past filled with sentimental and logical trauma. This does not excuse the psychological, physical, and emotional torture she makes Chell, Atlas and Peabody endure. She is still devoid of her attachments to others, in an essentialist extreme her mocking is ruthless. Her ulterior motives are spiteful. She likes causing strife. She is a well-received villain: not a role model.
I (104M) have been well-off for my whole life, owing to a shrewd mind and the inheritance of an atom-smashing mill. So when a small girl (8F) told me to start a recycling program, naturally, I scoffed! What poppycock!
Then I learned a troubling fact. Some time ago, due to the cluster of yes-men I had collected around myself, I failed to manage my fortune well. And shortly after meeting this little girl, I lost everything. My nuclear power plant, my automobiles, even my humble mansion.
When I met the girl again, I realized that only she was bold enough to tell me the truth. I swallowed my pride and begged her to use her candor and intelligence to make me rich again. She agreed, but only on the condition that I abandon my old-fashioned "evil" ways.
We became involved in a process known as "recycling." Perhaps you have heard of it--we take any old thing, a piece of refuse, and by industrial effort, turn it into a useful and valuable material once more! It's remarkable.
With the girl's help I started a recycling plant. But she became upset and said I had returned to "evil" when she learned that I had devised a way to recycle sea creatures into a highly profitable patented slurry--even though I put her name on it! I offered her ten percent of the profits!
The “phone bad” mindset really annoys me because access to accepting internet communities, earbuds so I can drown out overstimulation, the ability to communicate over text and email and the wealth of information easy to reach from google has been so important in accommodating me.
Don’t let anyone gatekeep you out of doing things that help you with everyday life.
Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I’m sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It’s extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they’re buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this
labgirl whos always talking about the evil lab. ohhh ive gotta get back to the evil lab. im needed at the evil lab. they want me back in the evil lab. all day working in the evil lab.
i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”
The Three Grades:
Canon Compliant: “This fic goes along with canon.” (Because I like it? Because I’m too tired to disagree by writing my own fic? Who knows? The author may or may not tell us.)
Canon Compatible: “Listen, I know it ISN’T canon, but think of it as Microsoft Office for Mac, it’s COMPATIBLE with canon, and that counts.”
Canon Complicit: “I have not died a hero, so I have become an accessory to the Villainy of Canon.”
Canon Compatible is a great term for when your fic is Probably Not What Tolkien Would Have Wanted but it doesn’t really contradict anything in canon either
Canon Composite: “This is made up of the pieces of canon I accept, while discarding the stupid stuff.”
Canon Defiant: “I understand the author has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision I have elected to ignore it.”
Canon Casserole: “This is thrown together from a mix of canon, previous adaptations, random headcanons from the back of my mind, and a dash of ‘just because I want to’ for spice”
with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy
and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not
and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with
