i cant get over the king charles portrait. they made that thing to age in his place. that painting hangs in the house of a too-friendly family you find in the post apocalyptic wasteland who inexplicably has a ready supply of fresh meat. if mario jumped into that painting he wouldn’t find a charming platformer he would be flayed and hanged like a medieval criminal by an unseeable force in a droning red void. that painting is a color blindness test for people who work in IT but believe in the divine right of kings. that painting is going to weep the sequel to blood. after he dies charles is gonna crawl outta that thing like sadako.
The worst part of human adulthood is being your own zookeeper
I want to stuff a pumpkin full of raw meat and roll it around my enclosure, but I also know that I’ll have to be the one to clean up afterwards :-(
Take steps to minimize the mess! Put a cheap, disposable plastic tarp down in the area you’ll be rolling it around. And.. Maybe recognize your species-specific needs and cook the meat first
Actually, if we’re going for species-specific enrichment, a pumpkin may not be the best solution. We’re not built for pouncing on prey or batting it around. We’re distinguished by our persistence hunting and tool use
What you should do is put a pack of jerky on top of a roomba, go in another room and count to ten like you’re playing hide and seek - or use this time to find a tool to use - and when you come back, try to catch it by setting a trap or by pinning it down with a stick
When you want a greater challenge, have a friend drive an RC car full of jerky around the park, and chase it until it runs out of battery

(This is from a while ago when covid policies for employees at our shop were stricter. I still use gloves for the register though; I’m autistic and admittedly a slight hypochondriac, but, hey, I’m also still the only one in my family who’s yet to get covid even once, so.)
Old lady next in line: Looks at the drive-thru which has two people working at it—A who takes and rings up the order, B who gets started on getting the order before A finishes with that and joins them if it wasn’t small enough for B to grab it before they finished
Old lady next in line: Looks at me helping the walk-in customers alone, moving as quickly as I can without fumbling/dropping things (which may not be as fast as non-clumsy people, granted, but is still NOT SLOW), having to change out of my food gloves and into my money gloves to ring everything up after gathering and bagging/boxing it first, and then back into my food gloves because the customer decided that, actually, they do want more doughnuts after all, and then back into my money gloves to ring that up and finally finish their purchase
Old lady next in line: Wonders loudly and angrily why the walk-in line is so much slower than the (longer/busier and thus better-manned) drive-thru line and complains that she shoulda gone through the drive-thru instead
Gee, I wonder why. It’s just such a mystery. No one will ever be able to figure it out.
(Of course, it could be that she was being passive-aggressive toward me and I didn’t realize, but in that case, really? You see me, a single person, bustling about, doing my best, with a customer with a large order who’s indecisive to boot, and you get mad at me for you not being able to be out of here already?)
hey folks i’ve been meaning to boost Ross Scott’s Stop Killing Games initiative but i don’t trust myself to write something exhaustively informed about it, has someone already made a good post on the subject that i could reblog?
this is a consumer rights movement looking to establish legislation regarding companies shutting down paid video games. the general idea is that a game you purchased should have an end-of-life plan to keep it playable in some form after its servers shut down (such as by making server software publicly available).
(there’s an FAQ addressing edge cases you might think of!) depending on your location there’s a variety of ways you can contribute, such as by signing a petition or contacting a representative. you can also spread awareness by sharing Ross’s videos or posts like this one. please consider helping! this is important both for your rights as a consumer and for video game preservation!
coworkers under 35 love me for my cowboy bebop jacket, coworkers over 35 love me for my cd player, management loves me for my mental illness-fueled punctuality. everyone feels vaguely wary of me for my overall poor impression of acting like a human
-Let us not forget project 2025, I know a solid portion of palestine supporters are in the LGBTQ+ community, a vote for trump, is a vote to put your fellow queers in jail, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
-Another section of pro-palestinian people are POC, not only does project 2025 include the killing and jailing of POC just in general trump has a long history of hating POC, ex: he used to pay hotels and casinos to get rid of any black people who were currently there, https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/08/trump-casinos-black-employees/
Last if this has convinced you to not vote for trump I’m glad, this also applies to any republican running. DONT. VOTE. THIRD. PARTY. I don’t know how many times I have to say this, it splits the leftist vote and gives trump or any republican for that matter a WAY better chance of winning the election, as much of anti-semetic you may be towards Israel, the only valid vote is for Biden.
I dont know what trans guy needs to hear this. But please cut off that cis girl ‘friend’ who gets weirdly uncomfortable when you start transitioning and being masculine. She is not your friend.
You being masculine isn’t bad. Being a trans man isn’t evil. You aren’t betraying anyone. You aren’t a monster. You aren’t a threat.
Do I have anyone who works at walmart or Sam’s club following me
Anyway PSA for Walmart employees
so basically, there’s a resource for people who work at Walmart and Sam’s Club that can allow you a one-time payment of up to $1500, with no need to pay it back or whatever, it’s just a free 0 - 1500 if and only if you are currently struggling financially and have proof of bills and under certain circumstances.
So if you were like on LOA, are taking care of someone other than yourself, someone died or recently lost their job, etc. you might be eligible for it.
If that doesn’t work, look up Walmart ACTN on one Walmart
I’ve worked here for almost 7 years and was never told about this, probably intentionally. That being said I tried it myself and it went through so its legit but you have to have documentation of the bills or the situation you’re going through in question, though, food does not need documentation under $200.
I believe it’s full time only unfortunately but I could be wrong. Also it does not notify management or supervisors in case you’re afraid of retaliation.
in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
the theories get even more egregious during the imperial era, with people straight up thinking she joined the rebellion in secret and is loading her songs with subliminal rebel propaganda. their main piece of evidence for this is if you play a certain song backwards, it sounds like she’s saying “freedom” in shyriiwook. the fans get really defensive if you point out she’s performed at the yearly empire day celebration thrice now and her family historically owned ewok slaves
i regret to inform both you beautiful people that this isn’t going to go how you think it will

spiff fans (also known as “spiffies”) insist that the two decommissioned venator-class destroyers spiff purchased, the bad blood and the reputation, are for diplomatic purposes that benefit the rebellion. jedi’lors have concocted theories that she served on both ships during the clone wars and was respectful of every clone that served there, despite her courtship of a gravball player that thrice advocated against the clone veterans being granted natural citizenship

all goofing aside I don’t understand the urge to reimagine Tay'lor Allisoarn Spiff as a secret Jedi fighting for the rebellion when the rebel alliance is literally like overflowing with women fighting the empire. Gara and Ke'Cha and Mileu and Halcey are right there. like what are we doing here. like I’m not even saying you can’t like Taylor but why would you hang all your hopes of taking down the empire on her

op is basically saying something along the lines of “yea ik tay'lor spiff is a jedi but like. why is she y'all’s only force using rebel icon when there are all these other force users in the rebellion???”

Dire Wolves were a real actual animal that lived in North America until right about 10,000 years ago, but they really weren’t much bigger than modern grey wolves! they were slightly more heavyset, but that’s about it.
however, their packs were much much larger than modern wolf packs, sometimes containing as many as 50 individuals.
however, if you really have your heart set on gigantic extinct canids and nothing else will do, don’t fret! look to the even more ancient canine family Borophaginae, the Bone-Crushing Dogs! they are here for YOU when you need them :)
Does anyone have the fucking tiktok video of the overly enthusiastic rich bearded guy showing off his new hiking shoes in his Mansion and the Woods, but then another dude duets with it to make it look like he’s escaping from being held prisoner please please
Can you guys stop calling grown ass adult trans men ‘boys’ it’s getting weird. I just saw someone call a 40 year old a boy and I think I’m going to go insane.
That isn’t a soft little uwu boy that is a grown ass man.
This also goes for reverse for trans girls. The amount of times I’ve seen a 13 year old be called a trans women instead of a trans girl in the news is kind of crazy. That’s not an adult women - That’s a child. That’s a girl.
You guys realize this is about how trans people are referred to in media/news right or how people talk about trans people without knowing what terms they prefer right.
I’m not saying you can’t call yourself a boy as an adult.
I’m saying there is a very noticeable pattern where when cis people infantilize adult trans men they use the term ‘boy’ and when they adultify/demonize young trans girls they use the term ‘women’

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can’t post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren’t getting laid enough. I feel like I’m losing my mind.
