“widow is dressed sexy to distract and seduce her enemies”
she’s a sniper
*notices a blue dot on the horizon* ah!!!! me pengy *a bullet passes right through my skull*
if a counter-sniper catches even a WHIFF of her baja blast tittums then all of the blood in their body IMMEDIATELY rushes to their Penas & balls and it stays there. they will drop dead in seconds
A wizard (23m) cursed me (19f) and my friends (62m) to put random numbers (40a) and letters in my sentences while I (38u) type. Does anyone know (49f) a counterspell?
The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.
There are many women out there who want to be a housewife. I, however, want to be a househusband. So, how is that going to work? You can’t be a housewife and househusband together, right?
Wrong.
Here is my guide on how that is in fact possible and how to achieve it. Women, please listen up, because this is important to you when you marry me which I know you want to do.
Step 1) I become your househusband.
Step 2) You become my housewife.
Step 3) The bank takes the house.
Step 4) Can’t be a househusband and a housewife without a house, right?
Step 5) Wrong. We pretend to move out, but actually we are just moving all of our stuff into the walls of the house, where we will live. Much like house gnomes.
Step 6) This can go on for years if we play it right, but eventually the family living there finds us.
Step 7) We get arrested on some trumped up charges like trespassing. We both know they are actually arresting us for daring to love.
Step 8) We go to prison.
Step 9) But what else is prison called?
Step 10) The jailHOUSE.
Step 11) We just can’t stop winning.
Step 12) We get out of prison but have to reintegrate back into society.
Step 13) Where do we do that?
Step 14) The halfway HOUSE.
Step 15) We just can’t stop winning.
Step 16) After we leave we have trouble finding stable employment due to our criminal record..
Step 17) So we become freelance DJs who play at clubs, restaurants, and parties.
You know I turned on the sound just to help me understand what was going on and I guess it was exactly what it looked like.
Ooh! Spot the industrial safety device! The worker has to press a ‘stab the cheese’ button with both hands. This is because if they’re doing that, neither of their hands can be within the cheese stabbing zone.
everyone talks about how if you show crows that you can be trusted they might start bringing you random & sometimes inscrutable items as gifts, but nobody is pointing out that the same thing is true of surly teenagers who don’t talk very much
one *wordlessly hands you a pine cone* from a kid who never says shit is actually worth 40,000 hugs from the effusive outgoing kid. so you know
On my hands and knees begging adults to allow children to engage in risk play.
And by risk play I don’t mean handing them a gun and playing Russian Roulette.
I mean like climbing trees, getting so sick spinning on the swing they throw up, balancing on the curb, sitting in the mud, walking on slippery surfaces, building half ass ramps to ride their bike over, standing on rocks, or anything that involves a smidgen of confidence and out of the box thinking that could result in injury.
Obviously like watch your kids and such, but when we talk about the fun of being an 80s or 90s kid, it’s not just talking about CDs and Walkmans or not having iPads. It’s about how kids today were robbed of critical learning and experience skills we were allowed to have.
Playgrounds disappearing, helicopter parents, and sue culture really destroyed a child’s development in the United States, and I think it’s about time we as adults recognize that, because the kids sure have.
You know what happens to kids who don’t get to take reasonable risks? They never learn how to gauge safety or control their bodies in risky situations.
A kid who never climbs a tree becomes an adult who falls off a ladder because they don’t intuitively know to keep 3 points of contact when climbing.
A kid who never skins their knees launching off a swingset becomes an adult who shatters an arm because they never learned how to break a fall.
Kids who are allowed to take risks become safer adults.
This crossed my dash again, so here’s a more thorough list of things risk play is necessary for:
- Developing pain tolerance & an understanding of which types/intensities of pain are “okay” and which need immediate medical attention
- Calibrating the inner ear (sense of balance) and learning how the body reacts to experiencing different things, essential to learning to control the body in unexpected situations
- Developing reflexes and subconscious safety instincts (e.g. protectively throwing up your hands when an object flies toward your face)
- Normalizing getting hurt so the first reaction to an injury is just to treat it (and not to have a fearful emotional meltdown)
- Learning how to treat and heal from injuries (beginnings of self-care)
- Developing appropriate levels of fear around various activities, desensitizing fear around doing harmless things and establishing a fear response for actions that caused an injury. This is key to properly gauging risk in new situations.
Additionally, the reason it’s so essential to mess around and get hurt as a kid is not just because it’s a critical developmental stage, but also because kids’ bodies are growing and naturally resistant to major injuries. A 3rd grader can get launched off a bike onto the pavement and only sustain a few scrapes and bruises that will heal in a few days, while someone who’s 30 would likely pull or sprain something (or worse) and take weeks to heal.
If you are someone who grew up not being allowed to take risks it is likely you have a low pain tolerance, fear surrounding physical activities, slow reflexes, and poor judgment. The good thing is that it’s never too late to learn! Our brains are very malleable, so if you missed out on this stuff as a kid now is the time to go climb a tree, go on a hike with unstable footing, or join a casual sports team. Just start small and work your way up, since your body won’t be as resilient as it was when you were 9 :)
Your additions have tickled my brain in the right way. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion!

I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:
A forty hour work week is considered full time.
It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society have agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here)
A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking.
Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by forty] per hour, they are being ripped off and essentially having their labor, productivity, and profit generation value stolen by their employer.
Wages are a business expense, and if a company cannot afford to pay for its labor, it is by definition a failing business. A company stealing labor to stay afloat (without even touching those that do so simply to increase profit margins and/or management/executive pay/bonuses) is no more ethical than a failing construction company breaking into a lumber yard and stealing wood.
Our goal as a society should be to protect each other, especially those that most need protection, not to subsidize failing businesses whose owners could quite well subsidize them on their own.

this is hands down the finest cheese i have ever consumed. it is so well aged that it is GRITTY with protein crystals. it is a cheddar but it is actually harder and flakier than a parmesan. it makes old shark look like fresh mozzarella. i could cry.
end notes: i ate approximately an 8th of the whole wheel and stopped when my wife reminded me gout is a thing. if i was a dragon id build my horde entirely out of this. i had my last piece ten minutes ago and im super thirsty but im avoiding drinking or swallowing because i want my mouth to keep tasting like this as long as possible. if I watched someone put poison in this i would probably just try to eat around it. if i was the president i would build a pyramid for every person involved in this cheese’s creation. my wife says my pupils are the size of theoretical particles rn and if anything shes understating it.
1) I’m neither white nor an atheist. But sure, me calling atheists a religious minority is me pretending I’m white and oppressed.
2) I didn’t use the word “oppressed”, I just said “religious minority”, but since you want to go there, sure let’s go there.
There is no single religious affiliation that is as widely regarded as “political suicide” in the U.S. as openly identifying as an atheist, they’re one of the most underrepresented groups in the U.S. government and most of the few atheist politicians that have held any political office in the U.S. have only openly come out as such either after the fact or late into their term, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to be elected in the first place.
A 2014 study by the university of Minnesota on social prejudice against atheists found that 42% of respondents characterized atheists a group of people who “didn’t agree with [their] vision of american society” and that 44% of respondents wouldn’t agree with their child marrying an atheists.
And also, despite the fact that these have been later ruled to be unenforceable, it’s still incredibly telling that there are currently seven U.S States whose constitutions try to explicitly ban atheists from holding public office.
Notice how most of these are worded specifically so that you’re not banned as long as you believe in ANY God or “supreme being”, so it’s not even an attempt at discrimination against non-christians in general, but specifically against atheists and other nonbelievers.
This is an uncharacteristically US-centric post of me but let’s be real this ask is written in such an aggressively american way (e.g. immediately conflating “atheist” with “white” and implicitly treating U.S. racial dynamics as universal) so I know your yankee ass isn’t gonna give a shit if I talk about how e.g. a 2009 survey found atheists to be one of the most openly hated demographic groups in Brazil, or how in several countries being openly atheist is straight-up punishable by the death penalty.
People who don’t believe atheists are an oppressed minority in literally most of the countries on earth are wild. Like. Have you not looked at Society At Large??
would much like to point out that the people publishing these articles are trying to needle millennials into treating gen z with the same disgusting vitriol we were treated with.
don’t buy it.
our younger brothers and sisters might eat a tide pod and get us blamed for it, but we have more in common with them than we ever had with boomers or gen x.
they are terrified of the things we can do together. remember that.
i think the next completely unfaithful reimagining of the persephone myth should be a Taken-style action adventure where demeter viciously fights her way through the underworld to rescue her daughter
we’ve made it sexy, we’ve made it romantic. now it’s time to give Demeter a shotgun
Needs to be done all in verse.
That way just like a scared and anxious hades we’ll all be
It’s state fair food. They also did deep fried kool-aid and butter-fried BUTTER. State fair food is not food. State fair food is the equivalent of giving a three year old free reign of the kitchen and a personal chef who will do whatever the three year old wants to do without question. It is mad science taken to absurd heights.
…
How do you deep fry kool-aid?
It’s a fucking liquid
Jello, I suppose.
Deep fried Jello sounds horrifying
Deep Fried Kool-Aid is when you roll dough in kool-aid powder, deep fry it, snd then sprinkle more powder on top. Make like a donut hole, and when you bite jnto it you activate the powder and the dough suddenly tastes exactly like kool-aid!
I want to try that actually
State Fair Food is the avant-garde, hold-my-beer genre of food. It’s basically edible conceptual art.
Something tells me you might be interested in this.
Ooo indeed! I’ll be putting more research into this, thank you!
We have done this successfully also. It tastes more like a bland storebought egg than the special extra goodness of a truly fresh egg, but it’s a great way to save up your surplus for the winter.
