Black Friday in the 90’s: 70% off. Lines around the building. Camping outside the night before. Sold out in seconds. Someone may literally get trampled. people actually did die.
Black Friday now: 20% off something that was marked up a week before. maybe someone gets a hangnail.
ok, so upon further inspection and words with a local lawyer thing. We have found out that we’re under 100 dollars away from having enough to start the family unification!
Of course until the process is complete(which is gonna take a while) we’ll still need more money to run on for food and such.
But still, 100 dollars away.
If anyone can help us cross this threshold, please do. Be it via spreading the word or donating.
butch transfems are literally Thee hottest people on the planet why are we lying to ourselves. give every butch transfem $500 & all of yr love n attention Now
dad picking up “doggy goes to school”: how about this one?
kid: sorry cant really read that one yet cause first we need to read “doggy rides a bike” and then “doggy vs cat: last hope”
dad: im sorry i dont think ive heard of that one
kid: yea it was during the dark era of doggy books but since then cat has become more of anti hero and helps doggy sometimes
dad: oh didnt even know that
kid: thats pretty fucking embarrasing father. i recommend you read “Kitty: origins” and “Doggy: year 1” to catch yourself up with the canon and then we can really get started on the bedtime stories tomorrow night

researcher win: i fell in love with a vintage italian chandelier on my thrifting travels yesterday, but the seller had it priced VERY high. got home, looked it up, discovered that nobody on ebay was successfully selling it at any price, and it was going at auction for a few hundred dollars. went back to the store and offered the owner an amount that was over auction but still a full $1000 less than they were asking. they said no. left, got in my car, offered an ebay seller even less. they said yes. got my italian chandelier, all powered by RESEARCH
characters in their 30’s and older exploring their sexuality and discovering themselves beyond their teens and twenties is so important and beautiful and worth telling
@lisxdumbr excuse me as I borrow your tag for a moment, cause we’re onto something.
Rent-lowering gunshots aside, I think this highlights a pretty fundamental quality to tumblr memes, which is they’re meant to be fun, not funny.
Most Goncharov content aren’t funny. They don’t make you laugh as an audience. In fact, there’s some serious and awe inspiring quality fanarts, music, fanfics, and analysis on a non-existing flim. It’s not about making the funniest joke, it’s about having fun making the joke.
Tumblr memes aren’t meant to entertain a passive audience. The entertainment value is in the participation. And this quality is present in a lot of long-form tumblr memes. Colour theory, urban gothic (short lived but glorious), hawkeye initiative (short lived but glorious), making shitpost arguments into shakespeare, @theshitpostcalligrapher (excuse the tag) and other shitpost calligraphy. A lot of these memes are about taking silly things seriously. And even passively reblogging these memes are about participation. “I can take this seriously too.” Or, in Goncharov’s case, “yeah I’ll help collectively gaslight the internet”.
Another big part about sharing it isn’t about how funny the joke is, but how impress you are with the effort. As an audience you can feel the love artists/musicians/writers put into their Goncharov fanwork, and can’t help but have respect.
This same logic goes for how coffeeshop fics are fun to write, but they aren’t funny. The charm for the reader is that someone loved these characters as much as you did.
In contrast, when you look at viral tweets, they’re often one-shots. They’re very funny and witty but you don’t tend to get the same degree of repetition and variations. Because twitter is built for consumption and snappier participation, and the increasingly algorithm-driven navigation makes content more competitive, which means quality lies in individual tweets, and not in the whole phenomenon.
tldr; Tumblr memes/jokes are about how fun they are to make/share. Twitter jokes are about how fun they are to consume.
THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE IS IN THE PARTICIPATION!!!!!
If you’re looking for a summer blockbuster, and you go to improv night, you’re going to be disappointed and bored, and so will everyone else when they try to toss you a bit and you just sorta no-sell it because the bit isn’t already fully developed and funny.

Is Debian a good distro to run as a server? I initially wanted to have fedora server but backed out and when I opened the Debian website the server iso just isn't there. Does Debian have a separate server iso?
Server use is where Debian shines. There are no separate desktop/server ISOs afaik. The graphical installer has steps where you can choose to not install a desktop environment, and let you install SSH.
I’ve been using Debian exclusively for both on-site bare metal servers (old laptops lmao) and VPSes for years and would be very hesitant to switch to anything else.
The great thing about huge declarations is that the most times you’re ever going to have to deliver on them is ONCE. And even that is vanishingly unlikely. The dishes happen every day. My feet hurt now. The kids need a lift to piano lessons every week. The grenade is hypothetical.
Hc baby narinder had little kitten ears but once he hit toddler age they shot up in size. Shamura was bewildered watching him have a growth spurt but just for his ears
all year. all damn year we’ve been in constant battle with our middle schoolers who are endlessly determined to make this sign say ‘hoe’. every time we fix it by the end of the day it’s back to this. they never ruin the Phoenix and they never rip the whole thing off. somehow this entire school year we haven’t been able to catch them. every time I see it I have to pretend like it isn’t the funniest recurring bit in this stupid world

Hey did y'all ever think about that if doctors blame all fat people’s medical issues on them being too fat without proper investigation and then feel justified in neglecting their medical concerns, then statistically more fat people WILL develop and potentially die from serious health issues and it might not actually be because of the fat when everything comes down to it
watching an nl stream and he said like “why does my voice change every three years? because no man ever sets foot in the same river. its not the same river and its not the same man” and chat was filled with contemplative pepes looking at the sun setting over the ocean and it fucking killed me. plato streaming his dialogues in ancient greece and chat is filled with pepe watching his kids from the porch pepe watching the sand run through his fingers pepe standing at the base of the statue of ozymandius
i <3 the darker ring of colour around the rim of the iris it’s like an inverse eclipse
normally i roll my eyes at “we’re all made of starstuff” sentiments because let’s be real they’re a bit corny and overdone at this point, but when i look at people’s eyes i kind of get it
there are few things that make my skin want to invert itself like corny, try hard kitten/daddy “bdsm” language but i cant stop using it right now it’s like i got bit by some mediocre 20 something in an ill fitting suit and i am. changing
That text exchange reminded me of one of my favourite ever tumblr posts
THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW PLEASE I ADVISE YOU GUYS TO DRAW ALONG WITH BOB ROSS IN MS PAINT IT IS AN EXPERIENCE I AM SO CONFUSED BUT PLEASED FUCKING DO IT
Bob Ross teaches you using layering and color theory, which are principles which work no matter what you paint with. Some materials won’t blend the same as oils obviously, but as Ross himself said, “you can paint with almost anything.”
Paint along with whatever you have, it’s great practice.
