I’m the guy in every movie who steals plot-important items from people’s pockets by bumping past them on the sidewalk. Yeabh that’s me. It’s a living
Yeah that’s someone else, great guy, we hook up sometimes (we’ll bump shoulders going opposite ways down the street and one of us will look down and realize their dick has been sucked).
can we explain to early-twenties autistic lgbt people that they . cant be saying these things. you cant be calling people ‘degens’ in your dni you cant do that. you cant do that man. can we do a history lesson. you cant do that
YOU CANT DO THAT MAN
“in defense of using the term degen, it’s generally applied to pedophiles” - conservative man who might actually shoot a trans woman if he saw one within 50 meters of his child, and also LGBT tumblr users who do not know things they should know
“No, see, I’m using a word the Nazis coined the political usage of, but in a woke way! When I say the word that means 'acting like a person of color (derogatory)’, I’m just trying to say that you’re acting like a stupid, violent rapist who isn’t as human as me, which isn’t fucked up at all! What do you mean I’m actually using it in exactly the same way the Nazis did and still do?! I MEEEEEEEAN it differently, though!”

When you are making a man (for a lover) in your làboratory, please remember to make him demisexual. We’ve had several escape recently and they are worse than tomcats in heat
i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said “your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising” one of the tags responding said “this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome” like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.
There’s a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.
For anyone who still isn’t getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There’s a difference between whom you’re helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you’re choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don’t have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don’t like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you’re serious about leftist organizing.
This was exactly what happened to me when I posted my cute tattoo of a caterpillar playing saxophone in the r/Jazz subreddit and I was massacred for being a poser, I was having a bad day already and the backlash to my post was so unexpected I deleted it and left the community, I’m not ashamed of my tattoo or anything, I was just too sensitive and anxious about my own life to be roasted about such a small thing by strangers (and they were validating each other in the replies) I was confused, how do that people could not realize what a weird reaction they were having to such a small thing… funny thing is I haven’t listen to jazz ever since
Don’t let those weirdos discourage you from a beautiful art form such as jazz. They’ll have a rude awakening once they have to communicate in real life with people or stay festering in a Reddit hellhole.
Thank you for the kind words, I saw you were interested in seeing the tattoo so here you go, those were the exact same pictures I posted on reddit, it was done by a professional using the stick and poke technique, so there was no machine involved, hope you like my little jazzy caterpillar!
(mob boss voice) so here’s the deal, see. you’s gonna go home and get a gooood night’s sleep, see? and you’s gonna have sweet dreams and a reaaal nice rest. reaaal nice. max here will tuck you in *i motion to the thuggish goon behind me and he approaches you with a warm glass of milk held gingerly in his enormous hand*
the SCP vending machine does not get nearly enough love and it’s my absolute favorite
how can you not love this
i mean really
How could you forget all the shenanigans with them doing the coin on a string trick, it goes from trying to kill them to just fucking with them in return
infinitely supperior to the numerous SCP stabby mc teleports behind you
Disclaimer: my hatred of geologists is purely theatrical, but if I did have to kill one for some reason, it would be very easy.
I’d brandish my obsidian knife at them and they’d be compelled to approach. “That’s very cool,” they’d say, confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. They’d shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. “But as it is volcanic glass, it’s very fragile, you see, and isn’t well-suited for use as a weap—” and then I’d hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals.
Showed my Geologist dad a picture of the obsidian knife you had and he nearly said this exact thing word for word. I can’t believe my own father would fall prey to this. Clearly you know thine enemy
I work too closely with geologists not to have a contingency plan for eliminating them.
Yep, this. What the hell do people think desk jobs consist of? Even if you’re just forwarding paperwork you need to know your shit, because that paperwork can mean a license for a local small business owner, for example, or making sure a kid gets extra assistance at school. You don’t wanna fuck that up, right? Then you gotta know your shit, and not talk out of your ass.
And that’s not even talking about being, say, a tax consultant or lawyer, this is “only” about being a “paper pusher” who takes in applications and forwards them to the right person. Or who takes in invoices and makes sure they’re paid on time, which will ensure the survival of the businesses that your company is doing business with.
Just because it’s not heavy physical labor doesn’t mean it’s unskilled.
And I know this says “passable”, but still, pushing one paper somewhere wrong can fuck up a person’s application for insurance payout, or a craftsperson’s income and existence, y'know, existential shit like that.
Let’s focus our ire the right way. Give the bosses shit, not your fellow worker.
i’m credibly world-famous in my fields and i can’t even do a credible day’s work in a closely-related field without significant time to ramp up and learn the domain-specific skills.
like “programmer” isn’t detailed enough. a c programmer who does embedded systems can’t do a passable day’s work as a kernel developer also in c without spending a long time learning new skills. if you’re a python dev who does mostly machine learning, doing database work in go would take you months to learn. etc.
not at all disputing that i would struggle to do a shift in a restaurant or bar, mind. i’m just saying, the twitter poster is making the exact same mistake they’re complaining about in other people – assuming that the thing they hold in contempt is worthy of that contempt.
Also, as a factory worker who has to do paperwork?
My paperwork being done correctly last June means NOBODY ENDED UP EATING PARTS OF MY FINGERS. I was injured on the job, but because I was tracking my production correctly they were able to determine exactly what product needed to be isolated as possible biohazard.
Don’t look down on people for doing paperwork.
I wouldn’t even be able to fumble my way through a day in my colleagues’ jobs, and I know that for certain because one of them just quit and I’m having to do it. Her job basically isn’t getting done until we have a replacement for her, because I’m the closest thing we have to someone with the skills to do it.
hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing
tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk
librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for
PSA for job seekers. Please reblog!
Post hard copies where homeless people meet. Also give to librarians.
like, with the pins and all ? And the polyester / urethane balls ? Oh god I’m getting stressed
breathe. relax. breathe again. take my hand….
Wew, okay… Im breathing ….. how do you do this ? with the pins and everything? How are you not frightened like me? What if i miss the pins? What if they make fun of my custom danny phantom ball, the one i made just for tonight … so many things could go wrong …… aeough ….
Just keep listening to my voice. it’s gonna be ok.
*Breathing ,closed eyes …. *. ok …. Ok … I “ve got this ….
oh no no sorry for the confusion. i tag all text posts i reblog with “#op is a dog brained cunt that should be shot in the street”. for organizational purposes.
fun fact: these are actual vocal warm ups he would do, and used this as a way to interact with the audience while being able to stretch while performing .
also he was a witch and he used it as a spell like look at that power
This performance at Live Aid literally was unlike anything anyone had seen. No one, and I mean, NO ONE has ever owned a crowd like this.
Other performers have literally said since, “Freddy basically changed live performance forever and left us NOTHING.” (affectionate)
I am convinced he was blessed by the gods. He was a fucking herald for said gods or something. Hell, there’s that vid of the Green Day fans waiting for the concert to begin and fucking singing in perfect fucking harmony to Bohemian Rhapsody! Freddy isn’t even alive and he still fucking commands a crowd!
Help Two Disabled Trans Women Survive the Holidays, Finally Move Out of Mold Hell, and Get a Fresh Start
Basically, my wife and I need to move as soon as possible. Our apartment is a death trap to stay in and our landlord is annually billing us thousands in extra heating bills because of the leaky moldy windows and shitty construction.
Multiple tenants keep contacting him regarding mold and window installation, but he just shrugs it off, does some shoddy contract work or mold removal, and charges us for it. (for reference the balcony door with the shelf was installed less than 4 years ago, 1½ years after we moved in, when the last one wouldn’t close).
On top of debt from unforeseen utility bills, they slapped us with an “extra heating expenditure bill” covering all of last year and tried to charge the extra 11000dkk onto that month’s rent. We managed to get them to generously negotiate a 3-month payment plan instead and they agreed (raising our rent further). The very next week they informed us that they’re suddenly raising our annual base rent by almost 900dkk and monthly heating bill by 825dkk, meaning we’re currently paying over $1500+ a month for a frigid mold-infested shit hole that leaves us with almost nothing to actually live off.
Please I’m begging someone to get us out of this place, it actually killing both of us after living here for almost 6 years. We’re both feeling it heavily affecting our health (like my wife having to be hospitalized multiple times due to pulmonary/respiratory issues, our terrible immune systems and the constant coughing with black specks in our phlegm).
Any donations people are kind enough to share are going towards moving-out costs, damages incurred to this apartment in the 6 years we’ve lived here (we’re both psychotic), any landlord-move-out-bullshittery they will undoubtedly try to get away with (the housing union we live in is notorious for this kind of behavior) and helping towards the new apartments security deposit/first month’s rent
when i was a homeless 20-year-old i was rejected from multiple housing opportunities because i had 5k in medical debt from going to the ER after getting roofied and sexually assaulted (i was unconscious so calling 911 was not my decision) and UHC denied my insurance claim. so yeah, i’m actually deriving an enormous amount of pleasure from watching health insurance CEOs snivel and hide like the heartless cowards they are. may those who profit from our suffering live in fear of those they seek to deny.
