In my history class, we were debating about breast feeding and all the boys were like “ew gross women should go in the bathroom or not do that in public” and I never talk in that class, but I felt compelled to input my opinion so I said “men think the display of a woman’s body is good until it’s no longer for their pleasure” and everyone just shut their mouths and looked at me
I’ve never seen so many boys open their mouth to defend themselves and have nothing come out in my life.

The boys in your class are very different from the boys in mine, then.
They were once discussing in the middle of a lesson (that had nothing to do with breastfeeding or breasts, mind you) why they believed women should be able to be shirtless in public. Spoiler alert: they wanted to ogle women’s breasts. That was their only reason.
i think that you’re agreeing with them /nm the point they were making was that men think that breasts (and women’s bodies generally) should be a thing that men should be able to look at as they want and they are upset because in the instance of breastfeeding, breasts are exposed but not to satiate their desire for women
Had a dream there was a new six hour long HBomberGuy video that starts with him tryingnto debunk Daniel Molloys novel “Interview With The Vampire” as a fun short video. After thirty minutes in and pulling a “so obviously vampires arent real” thing he launches into a three hour tangent bringing up all the weird historical details that are completely accurate when you accounted for stuff like Louis saying the wrong cemetary or church name
Four hours in he breaks down and says “okay so, this would all point to actual pop rock artist Lestat De Lioncourt being a real vampire, and Kate pointed out he was playing in my town a couple weeks from when we were covering all this. So I called and asked him for an interview to see if I couldnt get a better feel for what was going on”
He then proceeded to take out colored contact lenses and remove the gloves hed been wearing the whole video to reveal he was a vampire and the title card just popped up saying “GUESS WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED” and I woke up before the next two hours of video could play
All these billionaires who invested in the metaverce and Neuralink must be questioning their life choices looking at what what furries are doing in VR chat.
I’ve been on this project for nearing 3 years, now! Here’s the repository for anybody interested. We support loads of different EEGs, but most initial testing was done on our Muse 2 headbands (you can find em on ebay for around $120. They fit under VR headsets just fine).
trouble in the Chinese bond market, although exactly why China even pretends to have a bond market escapes me.
antoine-roquentin said: they’re just allocating capital to where it fetches the highest returns :)
they most certainly are not:
State-owned miner Yongcheng Coal and Electricity Holding Group surprised investors and sparked a regulatory probe by defaulting this week on debt obligations just three weeks after it raised a billion yuan ($151 million).
That follows, among other wobbles, stress at property developer China Evergrande, a trading halt in Tsinghua Unigroup bonds after a debt warning, and the high-profile default last month of BMW partner Huachen Automotive Group.
Spooked traders dumped local debt and sold banking stocks exposed to it on Friday and analysts said the spillover could take some of the heat out of a headlong rush into Chinese debt.
“It just shows market confidence in government support is very shaky, and people are a bit more unsure now, more so than at the beginning of the year,” said Judy Kwok-Cheung, a fixed income analyst in Hong Kong at the Bank of Singapore.
“We’re still trying to gauge how much support is there still and which kind of entities they will support. We’re really watching the market closely now to see who the government will support and who they won’t.”
Y'all should Google the article, it’s actually pretty neat. Basically, the Aldabra Atoll was once inhabited by the Aldabra Rail, a flightless species of bird that had diverged from the flying White-Throated Rail when a section of the population landed there and found they had no natural predators. However, the Atoll occasionally gets completely submerged, and all of the flightless Aldabra rails were wiped out. But then, after the Atoll re-emerged, a bunch of the EXACT SAME species of flying White Throated Rail decided to settle there again, and immediately proceeded to evolve into flightless birds AGAIN.
Theres an ancient trick to getting every (or most) of the peepee out after finishing. Put two fingers behind your balls on that hard middle ridge, closer to the sack than the gootch proper, and apply pressure to it. And/or gently but firmly massage it upwards. Gets the last juice droplets out. This was invented by those old arab philosophers in ancient bagdhad or whatever. They knew about math and piss. I teach this technique to strangers at urinals all the time and they always thank me

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

“let’s not be ableist!”, “every mental illness should be respected” and “using slurs, especially ones that based on illnesses is wrong!” people after they call every abusive and evil person they met “narcissist”, “psychopath” and “sociopath”:😂👍
sorry to bring politics into this, but ‘leftist’ online spaces repeatedly calling rightwingers 'sociopaths’ because apparently us cluster B havers don’t exist in leftist spaces now
Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he’s sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house

it’s so funny to me when i see pearl-clutching articles about how “teenagers are diagnosing themselves with mental disorders via tiktok” because like. this is not happening in a vacuum. teenagers are severely and i mean severely medically neglected. i cannot stress this enough. teenagers do not have free access to medical care. those same news outlets would be clowning on women with housewife psychosis in the 1950’s.
i sometimes go pale when listening to some of what my friends have gone through in their childhoods and teenagehoods. they talk about it so nonchalantly, things that would be considered straight up torture if done to an adult, can’t fathom the effect this has on children. they are on multiple anti-psychotics and several antidepressants and anxiety meds now that they are adults. medical neglect has legally and effectively disabled them. a timely diagnosis and intervention could have saved them.
of course teenagers are self-diagnosing using tiktok. if your knee-jerk reaction is to scoff at the idea and dismiss it as dumb teenager shit instead of being radicalized because the best shot young people have at attaining the mental health support they need is a fucking dancing videos app, you’re categorically a political enemy of the youth.
The Prism Knights softcover anthology by @windywallflower is in its final day of funding! If you like queer fantasy prose, please check it out! It’s so good!
This is the design for the cover I drew for the past edition.
why r the beloved “morally gray” male characters of fandoms always like this is baby killer john he loves killing babies for fun and the fandom is like omg baby killer johnnn 😍😍😍 but a morally gray female character is like heres a traumatized teen girl thats meant to be deeply flawed and wrong at times but also went thru a lot and is meant to be sympathetic and nuanced and the fandom is like SHE NEEDS TO DIE RIGHT NOWWWW !!!!!!!!
i listen to this podcast by two priests who talk about what life as a priest is like because I find their stories interesting, and one of the best moments was when the younger priest, baby priest we shall call him, absolutely lost it on the podcast because he had been preaching, then he saw someone do a full body sigh, shoulders up and down, then look at their watch, and then shoot baby priest a dirty look. Because priests are human too, this priest found it irritating on a human level, which, okay, I can see that–and then, he spent several minutes vehemently (and jokingly, but also, vehemently) proposing that Catholicism should update its rules so if anyone does that, the priest is allowed to come down from the altar and challenge the person to hand-to-hand combat. He argued that more people would come back to church if there was a chance of seeing the priest getting in a fistfight and in fact they might go to church multiple times a day. He stubbornly refused to allow exemptions for little old ladies. he was fully and passionately committed to the idea of Catholicism allowing priests to fistfight parishioners in the middle of mass, and I’m going to say it: i think he was right
god that adhd struggle where you are so motivated to do something but there is just like. A Blockage In Your Body that stops the motivation from turning into anything. so you just like. vibrate. sitting there like yeah, man, i totally want to do that right now. (doesn’t)

I have 2 cats, and one of them loves to watch over me whenever I’m cleaning or working on something (Clean their litter, do homework, sweep/mop, ect)
She does this so often that I call her “My little helper” as she watches over me, making sure that I’m doing whatever I’m doing correctly
Today, while I’m cleaning the litter box, I looked behind me, expecting her, and she wasn’t there. So out of habit, I asked out loud, “Where’s my little helper?”
Next thing I know, she’s meowing and right next to me.
ok but jokes aside “sugar free” and “diet” versions of products are not automatically better for you and your body does not appreciate artificial sweeteners, which is why consuming too much upsets your bowels. your body is essentially saying “wtf is this, I can’t do anything with it! i’ll have to just get rid of it I guess.” consuming sugar in healthy moderation is ideal as opposed to these products
jealous of everyone saying artificial sweeteners taste bad to them anyway because I actually like the taste LMFAO
No, I don’t know a single thing about a single celebrity. But this fictional man? this extremely sad, traumatized man? Why yes, I hold an encyclopedic amount of knowledge of him in my silly brain. Why do you ask?
