the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura
man people really just say stuff on here huh
Noooo haha don’t spread racist ideals and colonizer propaganda by idolizing white european aesthetics above all else and denying the life and accomplishments of native peoples on their own lands
People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greaterSanta Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.
You see this?
That’s not a river. That’s the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).
This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.
Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.
below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930’s of one branch of Phoenix’s canal systems:
Also have the “Montezuma Castle,” if you need a castle:
I don’t need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.
Squidward clocking out of the Krusty Krab and heading to the nearest gay after hours event
Come on, now, op. We all know squidward doesn’t go to the club.
He’s one of those “I’m not like other gays” gays who goes home to a bottle of wine and his obscure 50s vaudeville records, and then mopes because he can never find a boyfriend.
I love this website so much
[Image ID: Tumblr tag that says “he can’t go to gay events he knows spongebob will be there”. End of ID]
you can leave the house with a bare face and suffer no consequences btw. if you’re a woman you do not have to wear any makeup
places and events i’ve worn no makeup to: every job interview i’ve ever done (i’m employed), every doctor’s appointment i’ve ever attended (i still get treated), every shift i’ve ever worked (nobody gives a fuck), every pub and nightclub i’ve ever been to (they still let you in)
topping is actually gayer than bottoming because like the top is the one who’s deciding again and again to put his dick in another man. The other guy could just be chilling. For all we know
Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”
The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”
Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”
Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”
-i go to a university that takes exam season so seriously that nightclubs and bars are shut down early in order to accommodate study schedules
-7 years ago the president of the student union of my constituent college had to send an email begging us to have quieter sex during exam period (aka quiet period) after multiple noise complaints, which obviously became a massive meme across the whole university
-now at the start of every exam season we get our student union president drunk and make them send a new sex email to the whole college
“here’s the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I’m working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!” :)
It’s genuinely so much worse than just this. People have basically gotten it to show a fuck load of its biases, one of which is to prioritize any opinion given by Elon Musk in any form. It scrapes interviews, podcasts, videos, whatever and will give his opinion special treatment in its algorithm.
We obviously all knew this was happening but having Grok itself expose this as fact is fucking hilarious.
It’s made even funnier by Grok admitting that a lot of his views don’t actually make sense when compared with actual evidence and how it was instructed to treat opinions posted on Twitter as better evidence than anything put out by actual, reputable sources.
happy to report that gen α is using ‘Elon Musk’ as a derogative as of recent
this came about because we were playing mario party last night and I used boo to steal a star and our son called me “elon musk” and when I asked why he said “because you didn’t earn that”
some nice bits that were on the link! medicine has a massive misogynistic bias it needs to address.
my family has a history of hypothyroidism, but my mom wasnt diagnosed for decades. she was misdiagnosed and only symptoms were addressed without searching for the actual reason. even now, because how how long she went untreated, her bodys systems are extremely taxed, causing other issues. her body is permanently off the deep end to some degree because doctors refused to investigate to a proper degree.
if you have consistent symptoms, keep pushing. the doctor is not always right. keep pushing.
ooohhhhhhhh im going to find a staple dish from every country and make a web connecting any two ingredients that are in any of the same recipes. world culinary web……..
People do not see masculinity as being as fluid and complex and nuanced as femininity and it’s annoying as hell. Because of patriarchy’s stranglehold on masculinity and radfem theory’s stranglehold on queer spaces, people really think with their whole heart that only femininity is subversive or experimental, or frankly, queer, and that masculinity is only a power grab and nothing more. Embarrassing!
There’s this sort of anthropomorphizing that inherently happens in language that really gets me sometimes. I’m still not over the terminology of “gravity assist,” the technique where we launch satellites into the orbit of other planets so that we can build momentum via the astounding and literally astronomical strength of their gravitational forces, to “slingshot” them into the direction we need with a speed that we could never, ever, ever create ourselves. I mean, some of these slingshots easily get probes hurtling through space at tens of thousands of miles per hour. Wikipedia has a handy diagram of the Voyager 1 satellite doing such a thing.
“Gravity assist.”“Slingshot.” Of course, on a very basic and objective level, yes, we are taking advantage of forces generated by outside objects to specifically help in our goals. We’re getting help from objects in the same way a river can power a mill. And of course we call it a “slingshot,” because the motion is very similar (mentally at least; I can’t be sure about the exact physics).
Plus, especially compared to the other sciences, the terminology for astrophysics is like, really straightforward. “Black hole?” Damn yeah it sure is. “Big bang?” It sure was. “Galactic cluster?” Buddy you’re never gonna guess what this is. I think it’s an effect of the fact that language is generally developed for life on earth and all the strange variances that happen on its surface, that applying it to something as alien and vast as space, general terms tend to suffice very well in a lot more places than, like… idk, botany.
But, like. “Gravity assist.” I still can’t get the notion out of my head that such language implies us receiving active help from our celestial neighbors. They come to our aid. We are working together. We are assisted. Jupiter and the other planets saw our little messengers coming from its pale blue molecular cousin, and we set up the physics just right, so that they could help us send them out to far stranger places than this, to tell us all about what they find out there.
We are assisted.
And there is no better way to illustrate my feelings on the matter than to just show you guys one of my favorite paintings, this 1973 NASA art by Rick Guidice to show the Pioneer probe doing this exact thing:
“… You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. …”
i never fucking get how you’re supposed to measure the waist in online shopping. do you mean the whole circumference or half? and if it’s half, what arbitrary point on my body is half??? FUCKING TELL ME!
if this is the whole circumference then the largest size they have would be 30 cm too small for me. like what do they mean here
thank you online shops that get different models to model different sizes, i love you, it’s so much more helpful
The human body’s response to HRT is actually admirable in the sheer indifference. Just pure I Don’t Give A Shit, I Just Fucking Work Here compliance to the new instructions. You can get testosterone injected straight into your body and it doesn’t even question where that shit came from, coming back from a coffee break and just going
“Okay, everything seems to be in ord- oh fuck now what? Oh huh. Alright fine. New orders came in, cancel the menstrual cycle. Dig up the genetic balding patterns from somewhere, I don’t fucking know they’re buried somewhere in the dna. I’m greenlighting the growing-hair-on-your-toes thing. Yeah just cancel the ongoing maintenance processes, new orders came in so this is apparently what we’re doing now.”
Oh, and we need to build a penis. How? No fucking clue, use whatever we’ve got lying around. We’re going to have to McGyver the fuck out of this dick.
“Punishment works!!!” We’re drowning in three to four generations of people so pants-shittingly terrified of ever being wrong that half of everyone has constructed a worldview wherein they never even consider the possibility that they could be wrong and the other half behaves like one wrong move will make anything or anyone explode violently into a million irreperable pieces. I don’t think it works guys
BJ has a very clear understanding of Objectives unfortunately he lacks that level of comprehension when it comes to tactics methods procedures etc. Thus: his Behaviors.
