me: haha oh god this is so bad im making so many unsupported claims and pulling all this analysis out of my ass
my prof in the margins: excellent analysis!
me:
when i was in high school i used to write my papers thinking wow i’m just bullshitting all of this. then like a week before my senior year ended after all the grades were set, i was talking to my english teacher and told him you know i just bullshitted every paper i wrote. he told me that while i may have thought i was just pulling it all out of my ass, i genuinely knew what i was talking about and made well-supported analyses. i only thought i was bullshitting because it didn’t take much effort and it all seemed obvious to me. if you do well on your essays even though you think you’re just making it up as you go, chances are you’re not pulling it out of your ass. you’re just a genuinely talented analyst, even if the analysis that you’re making comes from a subconscious understanding of the material rather than a conscious effort to study it. give yourself some credit.
anything you pull out of your ass had to get there somehow

If you’re not from Argentina, please read this carefully
I have no words to describe the pain I feel. after 40 years of democracy, my country elected a party whose only goal is to be a colony once again, to sell the country to Elon Musk, to the USA and the UK, to have our sovereignty impugned and erased.
I remember the video of USAmerican congressists calling Argentina an “important asset for the United States”. I remember when we told all of you to be vigilant because this was gonna turn into a genocide.
Tomorrow, the Mega DNU (Decree of Necessity and Urgency) is going to overrule most of our constitutional rights, and yesterday the Omnibus Law was presented to congress, including measures that make it illegal to gather in public without permission (state of siege), and make it so that protest is a crime. We will have to pay for the bullets that kill us, and cops will have absolute legal immunity to hunt us.
Word for word, a dictatorship. Fascism.
We’ve already gone through this many times, but I want to see worldwide protests about this. I want the UN to intervene. I want the world to make noise.
What worries me is this is not an isolated case. With many genocides going on worldwide, if the world fails Argentina, this will be the blueprint for all of the world.
Make no mistake, what happens here will happen everywhere there’s natural resources and sovereignty. If not through overt genocide, through an extremely libertarian far right that wins elections by manipulating people, funded by Elon Musk. A second Operation Cóndor.
i know this, you know this, we all know they don’t care about us, but i wanna have hope!
Sometimes describing things to my grandparents is like. You ask. Hypothetically. What would happen if you put activated yeast in an airtight container. And my grandmother asks. What recipe is that for? And we’re like no this is a thought experiment. Maybe a real experiment. Perhaps we could seal tight the pressure cooker and just not plug it in to see what would happen. And then my grandfather asks what kind of bread we’re making. And we’re like no we’re thinking through a hypothetical experiment with an unplugged pressure cooker. And then my grandmother asks why you’d make bread in a pressure cooker. And we say no for the millionth time we’re just wondering what happens to yeast if you put it in an airtight container. Do you think they’d just run out of oxygen and die? We could probably look this up somewhere. And then they ask where we found this recipe and why it’s in a pressure cooker and we say no it’s not a recipe in fact what we’re considering could create botulism or something and then they ask what has botulism and we’re like there is no botulism we’re considering the possibility of it if we were to do this hypothetical experiment. And then they ask. What experiment? I thought this was a recipe. And then we say no it’s not a recipe we’re talking about performing bad science in our garage with yeast and a pressure cooker and then they ask why would you put yeast in a pressure cooker
This has nothing to do with their age by the way conversations with them have always gone like this
wait why does the recipe feature you putting yeast in a pressure cooker

have you thought about trans women in a normal way today
do you communicate safety to your trans women friends.
when she gets upset do you lash back and isolate her, or do you talk normally and work your problems out.
does she have a double standard against her in your friend group? is she allowed to be loud and angry and express her emotions as much as everyone else? or is she told to be quiet and stop interrupting when everyone else does the same thing.
ask yourself these questions and call it out when you see it, cuz chances are nobody else will have her back when she’s got her back against the wall
reblog this version instead of leaving some comment about how you wanna fuck us please
jewishvoiceforpeace: This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
We demand a ceasefire now to save lives. To stop a genocide. The Israeli military has already erased 47 entire Palestinian families from Gaza’s population registry; all members of the family, from all generations, are dead. This is loss beyond measure.
The U.S. is also responsible for this horror. 80% of the bombs that the Israeli military drops on Gaza, that are used to kill these children, are American-made. We are called to do everything we can to stop this genocide.
As we continue to demand a ceasefire and fight for a future where everyone is free and equal and safe, we refuse to forget these lives. We will always affirm that every life is precious.
Every single one of these deaths was preventable. When we say Never Again-for anyone, this is who we mean. Never Again is right now.

I just realised I don’t ever think I posted this here. This was my first ever comic that kicked off my whole thing over on Reddit initially!! This happened at my old job when I was heading on a lunch break and got caught by a regular. Initially I thought this comic was gonna be a one and done thing but after getting so many positive comments (especially on my second comic) I stuck with it. God I can’t believe that’s it’s already been like 6 months since this post was made.
I think it’s pretty common knowledge by now. John Harvey Kellog, creator of the Kellogs brand of cereal, strongly believed eating cereal every day would surpress a person’s libido and make them not want to masturbate. However he could not predict one major factor that would undo all his work
firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!
for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes
> open settings
> search “hardware acceleration” and there should only be one result
> uncheck use recommended performance settings
> uncheck use hardware acceleration
done!
Since I’m looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It’s not DRM, and it’s not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both “memory” and “placing a limit”).
This is what hardware acceleration is:
“Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?”
I refuse to reblog this from a blog supporting the people who support Israel’s genocidal actions. Liberals are NOT cool. They’re republicans who abuse social justice words.
A “sexual arms race” is a real thing and I find that amusing.
I wish it was so
A sexual evolutionary arms race happens when different sexes of a species have a different and conflicting optimal strategy for reproduction.
This leads to one of the sexes evolving a strategy to make the other sex more amenable, and the other sex evolves a strategy to avoid and overcome that strategy, and vice versa.
These strategies can be fucking wild after a while, creating extremely elaborate and bizarre sexual anatomy and behavior.
The most famous example is probably the duck’s corkscrew penis, evolved to navigate the corkscrew vagina.
