how is trump alive?? like hes rlly gone thru his whole life like That …. and no one has ever just fuckin decked him?? gave him the ole one two? knocked his lights out??? incredible
sorry to improve your day without much notice but
NEVERMIND REBLOGGING AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE ALL NEED
This is cathartic
People just becoming politically aware are never going to appreciate just how fucking hated this guy was before he was in politics. He was hated for over half a century. Everyone aware of him mocked and derided him as a cheating, greedy corporate asshole and mindless bully and this is by far not the only time anyone clocked his ass but it is probably one of the only times it got caught on video.
Hatred of him was bipartisan all my life and it just goes to show how easily right wingers can be suckered by anyone who kisses their collective asshole on their pet agendas.
Never forget that the reason Trump seems like an over-the-top stupidly villainous antagonist from a 90s movie is because half of them were based on Trump and making fun of him.
The reason The Simpsons and a handful of other comedies ‘predicted’ the Trump presidency was because he kept saying he wanted to run and nobody could think of anything funnier than a President Trump.
Seeing tr*mp just get fucking decked instantly made my night better
Last night had a nightmare that i was being bullied by a popular blogger on tumblr but he lived on my dash physically and his username was dark-wil-wheaton, which appeared over his head like it would in minecraft. He had the colour scheme of a subspace army character from Super Smash Bros Brawl and he would follow me around my dash scoffing and taunt me as I blogged. Visual reconstruction below.
It’s okay to not want to have sex ever. It’s okay to never even try it.
I was 23 before it even occurred to me that not starting with sex ever was an option. The feeling of relief was so great I actually cried.
You don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can have a fine live without ever having sex, I promise you.
Also, it’s okay to never date anyone ever. It’s okay to never even try it if you don’t want to.
I wrote a master’s thesis on intentionally single people, and the number of them that said in various ways, “I didn’t know not dating people was even an option at first” was absolutely tragic. They honestly thought they had no choice and it never occurred to them that opting out was even a possibility available to them.
People honestly believe these are life experience you are required to have AND THEY ARE NOT.
You can just not have sex. You can just not date people. You can completely by-pass one or both of those things. Neither of those things are required to be healthy, happy, normal, mature, fulfilled, or any of the other bullshit notions that get attached to these things.
GOD today i served a family of 3 and the dad was like “i’ll have a cappuccino” and the kid, a girl of about 11, was like “PLEASE.” and he was like “uh yeah. please” and the kid goes “well you’re always telling me to remember my manners!!! you should too!!” and i was cracking up
and then she was standing there w her mum while i made their drinks and i asked if the mum wanted chocolate sprinkles and she was like “yes please” and the kid goes “well at least SOMEONE remembered their manners” and then sighed dramatically and HEELYED AWAY and honestly? not sure how to go on knowing i’ll never be as cool as this 11 year old
Imagine being a side character in the freaky Friday reboot and not even knowing it
this is the only funny thing anyone has added to this fucking post

I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.
I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can’t use ctrl+f to find the specific information I’m looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don’t want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.
At least give me a fucking transcript.
I can read faster than you can talk and these videos are wasting my time.
to everyone that keeps constantly and consistently speaking about palestine, thank you caring and having human decency. thank you for understanding that THIS IS NOT SELF DEFENSE AND HAS NEVER BEEN SELF DEFENSE. IT HAS ONLY BEEN A GENOCIDE. please keeping talking about palestine. NEVER STOP TALKING. THEY HATE RESILIENCE.
“If stuff was just handed to me I’d have no motivation to do anything! That’s human nature!”
No, babe, that’s depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn’t being actively threatened.
[Image description: tweet by Roxi Horror @roxiqt on March 30, 2022 at 11:13 AM: “’Oh, so you think everyone should just be handed enough money to live?’ lol. lmao. yeah.”]
okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?
I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”
Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.
Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.
I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both. She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.
There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing. Honestly? A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs? Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.
If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!
Plus rich people are just handed a lot of money, whether they earn it or not, and no one questions that. Only poor people getting money gets interrogated over and over and over again.
I’d like to add a footnote to this thread that the US gives more money (by way of the income tax reduction) to homeowners than it does to poor people who need subsidized housing.
My best teacher in high school was the guy who had previously made a ton of money that he could’ve retired at like 30. Man just wanted to teach teenagers.
If people as a whole were handed enough money to live on, maybe more people like him wouldn’t be put off by the poor salary teachers make. (also teachers should be paid a lot more)
There’s also this assumption that if people were just handed enough money to live that they’d do absolutely nothing, as if they’d be satisfied being completely bored all the time.
They’d still buy food. They’d still buy video games. They’d still go out and get coffee and put money into the economy even if they didn’t want to work because they still want to LIVE. They’d buy movies. They’d go DO stuff.
I review comic books on the internet and I love doing it, but I often have to compromise on some things because I just can’t afford to do otherwise and I stress out about stuff because I need to earn money.
“Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn’t being actively threatened.”
Speaking for myself, I would be even MORE motivated to do things if my basic needs were guaranteed met. IJS
👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾
What I think some people miss about stuff like UBI (universal basic income, the idea that everyone gets a staple amount of money that could cover basic housing and food needs) is that… It doesn’t really need to be a lot of money. The idea isn’t “give everyone so much money they’re now rich and can do whatever they want forever.” The idea is to provide enough for their most basic needs (food water shelter). It’s enough that if your job mistreats you, you are safe enough to leave it without the threat of becoming unhoused or starving. This, in turn, forces employers to treat their workers better because if they don’t, then they don’t get workers.
But the other side of this coin is that ONLY a person’s basic needs are covered. As someone above said, people still want to do fun stuff! Fancy coffee and vacations and doing leisure activities like movies or bowling or whatever. Keeping pets. Having get togethers. If someone wants the extras in life, THAT’S the stuff they “should” be working for. That’s the “well if they don’t want to work then they don’t get [whatever]!” that is the consequence of not working. Are some people gonna be fine not doing any extra stuff and just living basically? Sure! And that’s okay. But most people DO want extra stuff and will work for it if they can (and if they can’t they should still get extra basic income! Humans deserve enrichment!)
But “You don’t get the vacation” is not the same consequence as “you don’t get to live in a home or eat food today.” The consequence of not working should NEVER be no longer having your basic needs met. And it’s absolutely ridiculous that so many people have normalized that you work or you perish. We live in a society! We invented civilization to make it easier to care for one another and ensure everyone’s basic needs get met! Human civilization began when we decided it’s not “survival of the fittest” on our watch, but “survival of everyone we care about.” We have lost our way if we cannot protect each other.
Survival of the fittest doesn’t mean the strongest individuals survive. Humans were never the strongest or most fit to survive individually. We were only fit to survive because we take care of each other.
If we abandon each other, then we abandon what allowed us to survive for so long.
the sour crystals or whatever on the candy forms a film on top of the beverage. however it seems to have neutralized the monster bc it’s definitely a lot sweeter and less sour than the monster straight out of the can. eating the candy after its been sitting in there is an interesting experience.
the candy is expanding and getting like. wiggly. and theres little bits floating around in there
not a great texture
the candy seems to have covered itself in some kind of paste. very odd
overall id give this beverage a 7/10. would be an 8 but the candy at the end is weird. its pretty good
Squirts my T gel directly into this persons eyes, blinding them due to its high alcohol content
Btw u literally wait like one minute for it to dry and then cover it with clothing and go about your day, which is why it says in the instructions to only apply it to places that will be covered by clothing, usually the upper arms or stomach. But yeah I’m out here doing the worm in my underwear on the subway seats, lock up your daughters
i love you USPS I love you NASA i love you taxpayer funded services that actually contribute positively to society i love you libraries i love you public transport
[id: graffiti on the base of a concrete overpass where previous grafiti has been covered over with gray paint multiple times. In black all-caps handwriting, it reads: “What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, its probably way too cold for it, you want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little, I mean what’s the big rush? Like, I’m in a rush now but our situations are different” /end id]
So like I wrote this a while ago now and I only recently got it to the point where I’m happy with how it’s written and ready to show off. But if you don’t wanna read 20 pages of fanfiction (completely understandable btw) then just skip to TLDR below. (“keep reading doesn’t work for me for some reason)
TLDR: Lambert’s district has been raided by the underlings of the Bishops, the big fishes of the organized crime in the city, killing his family in the process. He managed to escape, but he was injured pretty badly. Narinder found Lambert on his last breath and took him to the hospital. After a few months Narinder comes back to ask Lambert for a favour for saving his life - helping him create a gang that will take down the Bishops. Lambert is skeptical, but Narinder doesn’t accept a "no”. Nari threatens Lambert to accept the offer and Lambert seeing no other choice agrees to the deal.
also like…this guy successfully cloned an endangered species and used it in a breeding program. that’s insane
and what’s more is, the sheep is supposed to be a substitute for an endangered species that trophy hunters can hunt, so like…wouldn’t this help protect the species from poaching?
I’m not saying it’s right to illegally import endangered animal parts and use them to clone an endangered animal, or to experimentally hybridize that animal with other species similar to it, i’m just saying it’s really cool. that’s all
it’s also kind of insane that he could be fined $250,000 for each charge and go to prison for 5 years. like. In terms of the environment corporations are doing things that are dramatically worse and the penalties are like .0001% of what would be proportionate. Resource extraction by USA based companies demonstrably kills thousands of endangered animals. It seems a little bit excessive to more severely punish a guy for cloning an endangered animal and shipping dead animal parts across borders
I think the biggest concern with this is disease—the foreign sheep parts could have some rare virus in them that spreads to wild sheep in the USA and devastates the population
and just, also the fact that poaching to satisfy rich people’s raging bloodthirst for rare items would plunder the whole world if unchecked
On the other hand, IIRC Texas hunting ranches are the only reason scimitar-horned oryx was able to make a comeback (It was extinct in the wild).
What about the ram he cloned? Will it go to a zoo or something where it can live out its days (Assuming it’s not fit to be released into the wild)
Shoutout to everyone with highly stigmatized mental illnesses. When you see those “mental illness” positivity posts and feel that sinking feeling in your stomach that you think they don’t mean you.
I mean you. You are all wonderful and I see how hard you’re trying.

stop telling transmascs that terfs harrassing them is their fault. why the fuck did i just see a post imploring trans men to “examine why terfs feel comfortable” intruding in their spaces. It’s because they’re transphobic and have no respect for trans men’s boundaries. How do you still not know this. fucking hell
people seem to assume that terfs have some unique ability to sniff out transmasc evil. That is not based in reality and frankly it gives terfs an absurd amount of power over transmascs within the trans community. what terfs are actually going off of in trying to approach transmascs isn’t some unerring transmisogyny meter; it’s gender stereotypes. If a transmasc matches their idea of a woman, they attempt recruitment. If not, they turn hostile.
So what are transmascs doing to make terfs think they’re good targets?
Expressing emotion. Discussing oppression. Venting about transphobia. Asking for support. Showing vulnerability.
Transmascs, especially trans men, are required to perform an extreme version of stoic self-sufficient masculinity under penalty of ostracisation. Any failure to project complete invulnerability will be taken advantage of by transphobes. And by treating said transphobes as unfailing traitor detectors, the trans community enable and encourage this behavior. Terfs are shown that the transmascs they harrass will not only see no support from the wider community, but be actively pushed away from it.
Does anyone else remember LAN parties. They were wild because you’d drink an entire years’ worth of coke in one night and think nothing of it. I learned that I (someone who hates dex-based gameplay) become an absolute God at Counter-Strike at about 2am and stay that way until I finally get some sleep, after which I revert to being terrible at it. Everyone would set up their computers in one room and in the next room there’d always be some console set up where one person at a time would go to play the worst game you’d ever seen, or Halo, those were the choices. One person would always be doing this and if they stopped, somebody else would go and do it, like we were taking shifts or something. Someone’s little sister would be there and we’d have to wait for her to go to bed before we could start making the worst “coke = cock” puns we could think of. The pizza was ALWAYS meat lovers, which also got some cock jokes. We’d sing songs from the Avenue Q soundtrack while the Computer Guys would help the one person who didn’t know how to plug in all their computer peripherals because it’s the first time they’ve taken it out of the house. There were always at least 2 guys you recognised from Warhammer Club but they didn’t want to talk about Warhammer Club. They were here to be absurdly good at StarCraft until it was time for them to switch games and get fucking destroyed by me in Counter-Strike at 2am.
Vital wisdom that this generation, with their on-demand internet online gaming, have no opportunity to learn. We have lost so much.
