This is ‘Clinamen’, by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot (it’s an installation artwork). I got to see it in person and it’s stayed with me since.

I love the phrase “for historical reasons”. It literally means nothing – all reasons are historical; that’s how causality works – yet implies so much.

prokopetz

An incomplete list of possible shades of meaning of the phrase “for historical reasons”:

I have no idea why it’s this way, and I don’t want to admit it

I know exactly why it’s this way, but the explanation would raise further questions and I don’t want to have that conversation

There’s a fascinating story here that we totally don’t have time to get into right now

Yes, it’s annoying, but fixing it would require enormous resources and yield very small benefits, so just deal with it

I disagree with the reasoning behind this state of affairs and I’m being passive-aggressive about it

I swear it made sense at the time

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

marisatomay

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

marisatomay

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

marisatomay

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

marisatomay

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

rivkahstudies

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u

I don't think a lot of filmmakers understand that a lot of the people who enjoy period dramas enjoy watching them for the same reason people enjoy watching foreign films. They LIKE seeing the differences in culture- it's something new and different and interesting. And if you take away those differences, what's the point? You take away one of the major aspects of what makes the experience appealing in the first place. For me, modernizing a period piece to make it more "palatable to a modern audience" is like the equivalent of American tourists who go to another country and insist on eating at the nearest McDonald's. What was even the point?

enough of the “psychiatric medication suppresses your magical abilities” plot, how’s about “depression was preventing me from blowing shit up with my mind until I got on Zoloft”

oh yeah have i ever told yall of the academic war i have been an unwilling soilder in for the past two years

narwhalsarefalling

okay SO. i have two professors that both teach this one subject, but different classes. they have different last names, so i didnt know this at first and espically since they are academic RIVELS at my school, but they are MARRIED. but for the past 8 years they have been in an academic WAR of geospatical sciences data. more accurately, the raster vs vector data debate. i am personally on the side of "both have their pros and cons and can be utalizied to the utmost efficency" but both professors are like, DEADLOCKED in insistanting one is better then the other

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.

and THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. have written no less then 30 papers that is basically like a "re: re: re: re: re: re: vector data is better then raster fuck you" but like, Professionally. and they leave stupid notes in the footnotes that read "Reguardless of Professor A's opinions reguarding the efficency of Vector data, Raster data has a more efficant polygon computing rate and is the most commonly used program on interplantaring mapping" and its HILARIOUS

narwhalsarefalling

ive read all of their papers, and its basically like reading an email chain between a married couple arguing over the colors of the kitchen backsplash for their new home. its HILARIOUS. but obviously, because of their differnet last names and because they act like they HATE each other, NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE REALIZES THEYRE MARRIED

until like LAST WEEK

narwhalsarefalling

professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word "husband"

and obviously all the students are like "oh i didnt know u were married!" because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine

narwhalsarefalling

and shes like "yeah, its Professor A"

narwhalsarefalling

and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT

narwhalsarefalling

we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A's desk was ironic because hes that type of guy

narwhalsarefalling

like, you gotta undestand. these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go onto trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in seperate cars and literally NEVER mention work at home. it is SO funny

I know Tumblr likes to treat Pilk (mixed Pepsi and milk) like it’s this wacky shitpost meme, but Japan had official Strawberry Pilk and also Pepgurt

This is the most cursed beverage lore I have ever been unfortunate enough to receive, and I wish I could un-know it.

Fortunately, haha! I have ADHD and will forget about this in approximately 24 hours. Unless it sticks as a factoid, in which case I will remember it, forever, whenever anyone asks "Is Pepsi okay?" or when I drive past the ENORMOUS PEPSI PLANT 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE NEXT TO THE ONLY MAJOR HIGHWAY BRIDGE INTO THE CITY.

Fuck. FUCK.

Btw I recently found out about the fern Sticherus truncatus and i don't like it. Why is it so bad to look at??? I hate it so much??? Cursed Cursed Cursed

headspace-hotel

If i post a picture of it I feel like there should be some kind of warning on it, in a similar category as trypophobia, but what

headspace-hotel

...Bad. Why is it doing that

unitydruid

I’m so glad you asked. In the ferns you’re probably used to seeing, such as Pteridium aquilinium, the fractal patterns increase in size as you move towards the base of the plant. They taper to a point. In S. truncatus, the fractal patterns increase in size as you move away from the base of the plant, a pattern which is more commonly seen in trees. S. truncatus branches toward infinity, giving that broad, crowded look.

Okay there's an actual mathematical reason it looks Wrong. That's neat thanks for sharing

I think Americans need to understand how normal it is in other countries to have extremely limited hours of operation to ensure the sanity and health of workers are kept in tact. We are so accustomed and entitled to demanding people’s time that we forget that they’re… y’know… people
