It’s so funny how the game store used to sell games the music store used to sell music and hot topic used to sell goffic accessories but now they all stock the same anime backpacks and novelty fnaf soap of whatever
not planning on doing anything with this, just thought it would be fun to make a poll for it! here’s the results summary page, for those who are curious.
“is tumblr an mmo”, the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12239 pages of heated debate,
One of those “classic victorian horror literature characters in a modern setting” stories, where Dr. Jekyll has figured out how to fix the Mr. Hyde formula in order to do/undo the transformation at will, but keeps pretending like it’s outside of his control. Going like oh noo, the dark wills to commit unspeakable acts are coming over me again [pulling out a glass test tube shaped flask from his front pocket] I have no choice but to go out and sin, what a wretched slave I am to this creature that I am about to become
And at this point everyone else is 100% done with politely going along with it and just go “oh for fuck’s sake doctor we are on the 25th year of the 21st century, you can just go to a gay bar if you want.”
whatever you’re doing, pause and take three deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. nothing else, just three deep breaths and then back to it
“Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So, the Nothing grows stronger.”
The Neverending Story (1984)
This is exactly why speculative fiction is important
This is why taking a break for downtime is important
This is why being able to daydream and wander, is important
Without hope and dreams, we can’t even consider that a better world is possible
And that is exactly the point of overworking and underpaying us.
Michael Ende, who wrote The Neverending Story, also wrote Momo, where the villains are little grey men who convince you to “save time” by cutting out everything fun and meaningful in your life. But you never get the saved time back, the little men smoke it.
Momo should be vastly more well-known than it is, IMO.
Thanks! I read it years ago and couldn’t remember the title, and for whatever reason couldn’t locate it by description, either.
Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he’s legally untouchable he’s ethically unfuckable. You don’t like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.
Hi guys. This post ain’t about stereotyping random professions (farriers????), it’s about how cops are effectively legally untouchable and if they hurt you, you have virtually no recourse. A quality that none of those other professions have. It’s the inherent power imbalance of being bound to someone who can’t be prosecuted.
The “firemen cheat” thing is actually a myth, union workers are both hot and professionally stable, paramedics are stressed out but otherwise fine, physical workers are not inferior to “thinkers” don’t be fuckin classist, and “watch out for Farriers” is maybe the funniest thing anyone’s ever said on this post.
like the fuck are they gonna do lmao
Having beef with the horse cobbler is objectively hilarious
they gonna have SERIOUS fucking back problems. No way around it. Just know what to expect.
Don’t you mean classist Typo, as in discriminating against poor people, and not classicist, the type of academic who studies antiquity in southern Europe?
love when weapons YouTubers get deep into the weeds and they start calling a specific year of a specific type of sword that only other weapons YouTubers know about “overrated”.
Don’t forget that Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them.
i do think we need to start treating spraying harmless “weeds” in your lawn as utterly absurd princess and the pea level of obsession with needing the world to revolve around your every whim, like.
Okay a flower grew out of the ground outside and you can’t cope with it. Do you need to sleep on thirty feather beds as well
in my meeting with one of the people who is over grounds on my college campus i was told that when the college stopped spraying weeds, they would actually get calls from people. complaining about the dandelions
and I was sitting here like okay this is why I shouldn’t be in a public facing job because i would be the rudest motherfucker imaginable about that.
what, are you some kind of spoiled child monarch who drinks out of a golden sippy cup? Do you have a retinue of servants at home to dispose of anything and everything that you might arbitrarily dislike? have you considered leading a life where you might encounter something that could be described as a real problem? do you call the weatherman to complain when it rains?

some of y’all need to learn more compassion for adults who are severely mentally ill or disabled… like schizophrenics who still depend on their family members and probably always will have to, autistic people who live in group homes, people with bipolar disorder who attend partial inpatient programs, etc…. people who couldn’t get college degrees, who can’t work. not everyone is like you.
I ran into this before, and figured out what’s happening. This isn’t a glitch, it’s entirely on purpose: what they do is say “word X is 123456789 syllables” on the page. Google indexes that, showing a useless summary.
But if you go to the actual page, they use javascript to determine that you’re not Google, then hide all the wrong numbers, making the page now look like “word X is 3 syllables”.
Why do they do this? Because otherwise you wouldn’t go to the page. They only get advertising revenue if you click the link, and if Google extracted a correct summary of the page, you’d never click it.

we prefer mint for new users for the same reason i prefer mint in many cases- its just going to work and do what most people need of their computer in a way that is better, quicker, and more intuitive than anything Microsoft’s investors want to push on you
(then you get to go crazy and run arch or a special focus distribution or something funny like uwuntu)
if somebody you knew for a year said “listen. im just gonna be honest here. i know ive known you too long to not know your name. but i simply do not. i dont know how this happened. im reasonably confident you told me your name at some point. could you remind me please” how would you react
“Oh, thank god, because I have no idea what yours is either.”
You can really tell who’s never experienced poverty and food insecurity when it comes to discussions around food costs and how unhealthy food is cheaper. Some fucker always comes in with the price of like… lettuce or… apples. And it’s like yeah bitch but can you work an 11 hour shift after eating some salad and an apple!?! Find me something cheaper, and more filling than the broke ass staples of boxed mac and cheese, hot dogs, noodles, bread, beans, and rice. I’ll wait.
It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isn’t crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people can’t manage.
Not to mention if you can only afford to get to the store once every couple weeks via bus or cab then you can’t keep fresh veg on deck.
