just said the Worlds Faggiest “Thank Youuuuu” to the cute subway guy making my sandwich

also after realising how GAY my “thank youuuu~~ ^_^” and the little curtsy i did was, i grabbed my sandwich off him, my smile faded from embarrassment and i turned around and marched out the door without saying anything else

he saw me go in real time from faggot to emotionless robot

why would you queue this post. it is may and you set this up to remind me specifically of my romantic failures from november last year

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe’s causal geometry prevents this

Kellogg’s has been hit hard by Woke Mob. Here’s a list of changes to their cereal marketing that we’ve been demanding:

-The “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” slogan is to be revised to “I’m mentally ill/neurodivergent for Cocoa Puffs.”
-Lucky Charms’ leprechaun mascot, Patty O'Hatecrimes, must be changed to a normal Irish man who is critical of the british monarchy.
-Tony the Tiger and the Trix Bunny are now a T4NB couple, to cater to the furry audience.
-Fruity Pebbles can no longer use Fred Flintstone as a mascot, after his association with Winston Cigarettes was rediscovered. Consider using Jane Jetson as a substitute, to go for the Girlboss angle.
-In addition, we can’t call the pebbles “Fruity” anymore.
-Captain Crunch is to be renamed to Draft Dodger Crunch
-Snap, Crackle, and Pop MUST become drag queens. more than anything else on this list, this one is non-negotiable.

at this point i could not care less about criticism of ai art that does not focus on its environmental impact, its labor impact, or its potential misuse in larger disinformation campaigns. “ai art has no heart :(“ it’s embarrassing that you care about this and also who gets to determine what counts as art with “heart” and who is capable of creating such art. google “degenerate art” right now

You know it becomes very clear when people on this website just hate when people relate to a post and talk about a separate but related thing. Like oh noo another trans person said ‘oh haha Ive experienced a similar thing’ to your post. Are you gonna cry and have a whole mental breakdown bc someone is sharing an experience and is trying to connect with other trans people? Gonna piss your pants maybe?

Anyway trans women who add on to my posts going “oh I’ve experienced something similar” I love you. You aren’t derailing, you are sharing. We are holding hands.

Everytime a trans person makes an addition talking about their own experiences on my posts we are doing this btw

tricky-pockets:

running into a trans girl while you’re out and about makes the entire miserable errand worth it, whatever it was. like glancing upward at just the right time to see a shooting star. I spot a trans flag and it sincerely ceases to matter that the bus is crowded and it rained unexpectedly and my shoes are soaked through and my headphones are dead. I am happy to be on that specific bus on that specific day, because you’re there too.

the thing is the king charles portrait is genuinely incredible and exactly how I would execute a portrait of a member of the british royal family but also I literally cannot fathom why the british royal family would have it made

like yeah if I were going to make a portrait of king charles I would absolutely have just his smugly smirking face leering out of a mass of red that could only be read as blood and gore, and have his military uniform fading ambiguously into the same background to lay bare the brutality of imperialism concealed by the pomp and ceremony of the british state, and make the entire thing sort of look like it was decaying to indicate the rot of the empire. like I really struggle to imagine a better visual metaphor for the nightmarish history of a dying empire than the king’s spiffy military uniform and saber and sash and rows of epaulets being literally made out of a rotting field of blood and gore. but like why did he have it commissioned… why did he have it MADE and then say Looks great I’m putting it on the wall… HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE HE’S IN HELL

TIL that there’s an ‘80s movie where they portrayed Smilodon by sticking actual fake teeth onto actual live lions.

So I learnt about this as part of a paleontology lecture talking about how it became accepted that saber teeth don’t hinder the animals ability to eat

Citation - those people who stuck some on real lions which were able to eat without problems once they got used to them

That’s it, the Professor is truly the King of Sass

The letter didn’t come from the Nazi party, but from the publishing house which had expressed an interest in the German translation of The Hobbit. Tolkien’s response really is a thing of beauty, though, so it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

25 July 1938                                              20 Northmoor Road, Oxford

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. … I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearings whatsoever on the merits of my work or its suitability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully

J.R.R. Tolkien.

(Letter 30)

The Hobbit wasn’t published in German until 1957.

This might just be the politest “fuck you” ever written.

W.h.a.t.

Not just “I wish I had Jewish ancestors, but I don’t,” but also “you do realize that’s not what ‘Aryan’ actually means, right,” and “you guys are making it pretty hard to be proud of my German heritage.”

Nazis: Are you Aryan?

Noted linguistics freak Tolkien: Are you?

actually for fusies, let’s make it a poll

would you rather

10k a month with no work

100k a month but you have to work 14 hours a day

See Results

original post for context:

14 hours a day work and 7-9 hours sleep a night leaves two hours to eat, shower, buy groceries, remember what fucking grass looks like, book in your therapy session for your crushing burnout, run yourself into an early grave and leave a stressed but incredibly wealthy corpse.

Or earn more than the median salary in Washington DC and have your whole life to spend it on doing the things that you enjoy.

“Do the hard things now for an easy life later.”

That easy life is called a stroke.

“You always want more for yourself”

It’s called a stroke

Also, I can still work and just have the extra 10k on top of my salary.

I’m dead certain at this point that this grindset horseshit is almost entirely performative. Like this bluecheck fuckwit clearly believes that there’s a correct answer here even if she doesn’t explicitly say so in her post; her fellow grindset idiots will be tripping over themselves to brag about how many dozens of hours they spend working every day and for how much money, but it’s the Emperor’s New Clothes all the way down and anyone who points out that the grindsetter is naked [read: leading an exhausting, joyless life and heading for a miserable early death] is immediately branded a fool by their fellows.

Don’t be a fucking chump. Your time is non-refundable. There is nothing more valuable in life than that.

10k a month is already insane in this economy

“look, I know I live in a propaganda bubble, but you’d have to be brain poisoned to not believe in said propaganda”

The entire southern half of the peninsula may still be occupied by a regime originally imposed by a foreign power and run by groups who consistently advocate for the destruction of the entire economic and political structure of the DPRK. They may still be allowing said foreign power that has shown itself to be incredibly hostile towards any form of socialism or communism to host tens of thousands of military bases on the peninsula and conduct constant drills with the ROK where they act out fantasies of a renewed war with the North. They may engage in constant acts of sabotage, espionage and propaganda against the DPRK and its citizens. They may be aiding the brutal economic blockade of the DPRK that has been at the root of its issues with poverty since the collapse of the Soviet bloc. But have you considered that maybe the DPRK should just give up? The poverty and corruption in the South might be bad, but is preventing your country from being exploited by capitalism really worth the cost of not having a capitalist party to vote for? The US soldiers might rape local women at alarming rates, but is denying them a victory over your country really worth not having a McDonalds in Pyongyang? Obviously the DPRK is just an irrational dictatorship with no clear motives other than hanging onto power, and the only reason the people haven’t risen up against them is because of magic communist brainwashing.

INCREDIBLY funny to me when western “socialists” act like MLs are a “cult” that live in a “different reality”, as if MLs aren’t the largest group of socialists worldwide and the only actual successful socialists in history.

I’ll be real, I don’t like lenin and view him as a result of fascist ideas influencing marxist ideals in a way that defeats the entire fuckin’ point by reintroducing all that fascist strongman shit.

I’m not in the habit of resting on my biases though, most of this impressionbwas fir ed through discussion outside of the ML circles and I’ve never directly talked to an ML to get their explanation of their whole deal.

what’s the deal? why is this so popular, and if it’s something you can answerx why is there such a common accusation of fascist ideology against your platform?

take your time to respond, time isn’t real and I like treating the internet more like longform letter writing than a direct conversational medium these days.

You’re so completely wrong about Lenin and everything he ever said wrote or did that it doesn’t even merit debunking. You might as well have said “well I don’t know anything about this Lenin fella, but I sure don’t like his vibes! Prove me wrong!”
