I ended up on r/ADHDparenting (a subreddit about parenting kids with ADHD, not about being a parent with ADHD) and Jesus fuck.
Imagine how much r/childfree hates kids, but the only people allowed to post in this sub are parents.
“My kindergartener asks me a ton of questions every morning i wish i could give her her meds while she was still asleep so that she would shut the fuck up by the time she’s awake”
“My 4-9 year old child is the most annoying person in the planet and I can’t wait until he’s old enough for a prescription because if he stays like this I’m just going to keep hating him.”
“If he’s too young for vyvanse start him on caffeine but no sugar! Half a can of diet cola with breakfast should be a good place to start.”
“I started giving my kid her meds before she gets out of bed so that they kick in by breakfast time and I don’t have to deal with her constant fidgeting and incessant talking.”
Look I do understand the need to vent but an entire subreddit that seems to confirm the worst things that kids with ADHD think of themselves (my parents hate me, I’m too annoying to love, nobody will like me if I don’t shut myself down, everyone thinks I’m loud and stupid and they laugh about me behind my back, my mom wishes i was like my brother, if they could flip a switch to make me into someone else they would, they would rather have any child but me, anybody would rather have any child but me) seems fucking ghastly. THIS is the kind of shit you put in a private discord server, c'mon.
this isnt even unusual for parents or exclusive to kids with adhd or autism tho this is the result of kids being not something you have cuz u want to raise a person in the world but because u are expected to or else your life can not be considered, “complete”

Every evening my store manager tells us how much money the store made that day. And sometimes i joke that we should just split the earnings among the employees who were actually working that day and everyone laughs at the idea. But i mean.. is it that unreasonable? We are the whole reason the store made money at all that day
Im not saying we take all of it obviously. But its insane how little money we get, compared to how much money the store makes. Considering that we are literally the only reason the store makes any money at all, we are severely underpaid. And its insane to me how everyone can just laugh that off
hey you. indie creator. get rid of the corporate execs and the imaginary writers room in your brain. the cynical youtube reviewers and disney fans who want sanitized uwu gays probably are never even gonna be even slightly aware of your existence. write those unrelatable blorbos and those messy themes and that weirdly sexy violence. you have no one to answer to but yourself. give yourself what you want and maybe some day, some 3 random lesbians from the internet whose interests you have somehow exactly hit will look at your thing and think its pretty cool, and in the end thats all you ever needed
I NEVER NOTICED THIS POST TOOK OFF everyone who said they rly needed to hear this, we r in this together babe we will get it, eye of the tiger lets go

if you’re unsure, the easiest way to check/update Firefox is
open the application menu (three horizontal lines in the upper right corner)
click Help > About Firefox
in the pop-up window, look for the version number under the header. If it’s 131.0.2, you’re in the clear. If not, there should be an option that says “restart to update Firefox.” Click that.
You’re good to go 👍
this getting 10k notes in less than 20 hours is awesome
I remember when I was thinking about pinging a server once a second for like a few hours or so (for a less nefarious purpose) and I just decided to abandon the project because I didn’t want to be a nuisance. Horribly unprofessional to not even ask permission or discuss with the server owners before literally DDOS-ing them. Fuck AI
They made a pun about the unimaginable ways we’ll use complex numbers….
new circle :o
I’ve waited for this day since forever
People were doing complex numbers in desmos before, but damn, did not think it could be made so much easier
New error, btw
I know Christmas is two months away, but I feel like it’s already started :D
I was gonna go to bed, but now I need to upgrade my domain coloring graph and complex number library…
I don’t know what I expected, but there is no need to upgrade my complex number library… most functions now just work with complex numbers out of the box. And the domain coloring is now more or less trivial.
This took 6 lines and a dozen minutes to produce. This used to take an afternoon at the least. I feel giddy
My friends and I found this beetle on our college campus, we think it’s a female elephant beetle. The photos were all taken by my friend (photography_dex on instagram).
Linking this as context for prev and anyone else who’s curious, it’s a really thorough rundown of the public fit Matt has been throwing for the past month. Basically he’s burning down Wordpress’ open source ecosystem out of spite
“must be removed”? Like how alive people are removed into being dead people. This is just like a death threat. maybe worse
We must immediately ban all queer people from tumblr dot com to protect Matt from these horrible death threats! The transfems are already halfway there
having audio processing issues is so humiliating like yeah i heard you and yeah i was actively listening but the problem is i dont know what the fuck you sayed
i was paying attention, i was listening, but you see the problem is….it didnt work
And then neurotypicals are like “hm….have you tried simply…focusing more?”
Like. I don’t know how to tell you that your brain is not the same as mine.
so ummm welcome to my jar:) lemme show you around! theres some holes poked in the top so i can breathe, theres some leaves to munch on, and ive even got a twig! #mytwig
Passing on an important conversation I had with a family member the other day
Them: Gay people make me uncomfortable.
Me: (Queer, bluescreening) Uhhhhhhh
Them: I ean, I don’t mind gay people, I just don’t like the ones that are all in your face about it.
Me: What do you mean
Them: : I mean, like. It’s fine if you’re gay, you can be gay, that’s not something you can change- there’s just a time and a place, you know? You shouldn’t be making it everyone else’s business
Me: I don’t know what you mean. Can you give me an example?
Them: Uhhhhh.
Them: Okay, so I was at a bar with my buddy a while back, right? And this gay person comes up to me, right, and they start flirting
Them: And I tell them, you know, I’m straight, and I’m married, right?
Me: Right
Them: And like. They kinda laugh it off, but they keep doing it. Making these comments, being all flamboyant, saying I have a nice ass, trying to give me their number in case I wanna “switch teams”.
Them: And I’m sitting there like… hey, no problem with your whole lifestyle and all, but I told you I’m not interested. I’m married.
Them: That kinda thing. The whole “out and proud, cant shut me down” thing
Them: Like, leave that shit at home
Me:
Me: So it’s like when a pretty lady is at a bar, and some guy comes over and won’t leave her alone?
Them: Yeah
Me:
Me: So that’s not a gay people thing, that’s just flat-out sexual harassment
Them: what
Me: Your problem isn’t gay people, it’s assholes
Them:
Them: Well that sure would have sounded better, huh
Always be aware of DARVO (Deny attacker reverse victim and offender.)
Abusers will make you feel like you are the abuser and make you question your sanity, and always deflect any form of criticism and deny it’s happening. It is a technique people use to never take any accountability, and deny their victim’s efforts to take it and work on their flaws, to make them dependent on the abuser’s validation to make the victim feel secure in their feelings. If someone is making you feel like you can never do right and you are always wrong and all your efforts get dismissed/something that happened long ago where you clearly were an asshole gets brought up out of nowhere, just to trigger you and make you upset. You should probably leave that relationship.
at least dad taught me one thing well, he taught me how to spot a manipulative abuser and to never fucking talk to people like him.
thanks dad, for using all of these on me for twenty fucking years
Victor Frankenstein: I’ve created life but I refuse to put any effort into helping that life develop. I won’t teach him, love him, or defend him even though I forced him into existence with a fully operational adult brain lol. Peace, bitch.
The Monster: Am Eloquent Baby
Boomers: He’S NOt thE ViCtIM, HE’s tHe MOnsTEr
An ironic parallel considering the idea of “tough love” parenting that plenty of boomers like to use. If they buy into the idea that their kids just have to toughen up and face the real world without guidance or emotional support, I’m sure it does scare them to read a story where someone who wasn’t given any support began to resent their creator and turn on them.
it’s like that post that’s like ‘knowledge is knowing that frankenstein is the doctor; wisdom is knowing that frankenstein is the monster’. like the whole point of the post is that frankenstein’s monster is a victim of viktor frankenstein’s own monstrosity.
mary shelley did not lose her virginity on her mother’s grave just for people to misunderstand her best known work over a century later.
Victor refusing to make the Monster a wife because he was worried they’d breed is such a cop out. Like, you’re cobbling together body parts from charnel houses. You can just not give her any ovaries. You can just spay her like a cat. Why are you this dumb Victor. You’re a doctor.
the implication that victor spend weeks giving the monster a working dick is also extremely weird
Something to remember is that Victor didn’t just give the monster a working dick! He wanted his creation to be made of the best parts of men-it’s why the monster is made up of so many different pieces rather than one fresh corpse, why he’s so large, and why Victor is disappointed that he isn’t beautiful.
So, what does this mean? It means that Victor looked at the dicks of various corpses, testing not only to make sure they work, but also to find what he considered to be the best corpse dick. Does this mean the monster was extremely hung? Or did Victor simply pick the dick that seemed most attractive to him? Did he memorize the appearance of the dicks, or did he line them up to compare?
We’ll never know, because the original story never touches on the subject, and it’s one of the few flaws in Mary Shelley’s work.
I know I started this conversation but I’m so sorry I did
Considering we know who Mary Shelley was spending time around I guarantee this was a CONVERSATION that she actively and adamantly refused to actually include in the text
Well, there is ONE adaptation which includes this very discussion.
I was just scrolling around ao3 and accidentally clicked the “graphic descriptions of violence” warning and then absolutely lost my entire shit imagining the hypothetical person who does that on purpose. imagine the guy who goes on ao3 to read fanfiction of absolutely anything at all as long as it has Graphic Descriptions Of Violence. things he likes in his fanfiction: 1. violence described graphically 2. any other thing, who cares
will it be some guy from Star wars/reader fic that’s 900000 words long? will it be podfic about dark!sesame Street characters? will it be pwp drabbles of kpop men? IT DOESNT MATTER HE DOESNT CARE. HE WANTS HIS VIOLENCE, GRAPHICALLY, AND HE WANTS IT NOW
you guys don’t understand, it is CRUCIAL to the conception of this guy that he has absolutely NO other requirements for his fanfiction. i don’t think any of you are this guy. you might be this guy adjacent. but clicking on a specific tag like a kink or like hurt/comfort? is normal. this guy isn’t doing that. he’s specifically going into Graphic Depictions Of Violence and just methodically reading through everything there and enjoying all of it equally
so embarrassing to be drawing an OC and forget to add some part of their design…like yeah i made this guy…hand picked everything about them….yeah i forgot to add the things i like about them….
So excited to work as a scare actor for the second year in a row
Last year I was a zombie and chased people around the trail.
This year I’m walking backwards along the trail until I meet a group, saying “hey my friends ran on ahead, can I walk with you?” And then getting kidnapped.
About 10 years ago my sister attended a zombie survival paintball experience in an abandoned derelict shopping centre
There was a nervous guy at the meeting point who explained that his friends got food poisoning from dinner last night, but this was the whole point of the trip and he didn’t want to hang about in a hotel room with sick people, but he was considering just going back home
The entire group immediately took him under their wing and adopted him into their friends and inside jokes and sharing snacks
He was dragged off and eaten by zombies in the first 15 minutes, complete with blood packs, and returned in the final room as a sort of final boss
i’m tired of how boring the little free libraries are in my neighborhood. i’m going make a little newspaper to put in them. i will inject some whimsy and delight into this godforsaken suburb all by myself
In 1947, an British flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile reported their status over Morse code as “ETA SANTIAGO 17.45 HRS STENDEC”. That last word is nonsense, so the tower asked for clarification. They repeated: STENDEC. STENDEC.
They were never heard from again. 11 people vanished, apparently along with their plane, and the only clue is that last word.
And no one knows what the fuck “STENDEC” means.
Just checked the wiki. The wreckage was discovered by some hikers in the late 90s and body parts have been confirmed to be some of the victims. The wreckage had been covered in an avalanche and was incorporated into the glacier which is why it wasn’t found at the time by search teams.
Most likely explanation for STENDEC is the spacing on the Morse code being off, but we can’t be sure.
