Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 7x04 Take Me Out to the Holo-Suite

[were--ralph]

What the fuck is star trek about

[aceobrin]

It's about vegetarian space socialism. Not quite the same as fully automated luxury gay space communism, you see. If you've ever watched the show, you'll know what I mean. The admirals are unhinged and way too powerful, gay relationships are largely taboo, and adults aren't even allowed to modify their own genomes. I could go on.

Listen I'm a little drunk but... yarn crafts are so important. Textile arts are the backbone of society. All of us take our clothing and accessories and upholstery for granted and it's honestly shocking

I used to buy affordable t-shirts and they were comfy and nice, now I buy them in the same price range and they're sandpaper. They don't wick away moisture and the print comes undone after two washes. I buy denim and the crotch falls apart in months. I read about how modern Singer sewing machines are disappointing and then look at the delicate machining and the beautiful finishes on my 1857 machine and wonder if this is progress?!

Reblog if you're desperate for clothing that doesn't feel like sandpaper or if you like machines that go thunk instead of going obsolete in two years

[aceobrin]

In a phrase: planned obsolescence. Closely related is artificial scarcity, which has to do with restricting supply (to higher quality items, in this case) to inflate prices. The good news is, the more homogenously crap a market becomes, the more primed it is to be upended. Reverse engineer those old machines, find a way to make them (or make them even better) with modern techniques.

If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work.

Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.

Was expecting classist bullshit, got the exact opposite

[gourmetpunk]

This is so ubelievably important and I hate that I have to keep re-explaining it to people.

[awed-frog]

Okay, you need to make sure you play this game at some point. Maybe not today or anything, because you’ll need about thirty minutes and a serious willingness to understand how it works, but - it’s so worth it. It’s basically an answer to our occasional frustration - why do assholes always come out on top? - and the beautiful thing about it is that not only does it explain how that happens, but also how we can change it.

“In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it’s us players who define the game.”

[youngnoblewoman]

This is fascinating if you’re into math or sociology or computer programming or all of the above.

Everyone, everywhere, without exception, should play this thing through.

[anathaeum]

Don’t check just this - check out all of Nicky Case’s work. They’re a brilliant creator and I heavily recommend checking out at least one of their projects.  Their website can be found here.

Parable of the Polygons - an interactive experiment that shows how tiny individual biases can collectively cause segregation on a massive scale.

To Build a Better Ballot - an interactive experiment that shows the alternatives to the voting systems we currently use and how they can be more representative and democratic, along with their faults.

Coming Out Simulator - a short interactive story/novel about coming out, based off of Case’s own experiences. Not one I’ve played myself but still one I can recommend.

Loopy - a very simple but useful tool to show how systems interact with each other and how things can self-propagate.

We Become What We Behold - “ a game about news cycles, vicious cycles, infinite cycles.“ A short five-minute game about news and media. Warnings for violence, blood, death and stress.

why is your tea liquidised?

[american-auror-story]

….. Where exactly do you live that the tea isn’t liquid?!?

[merlinsbearditsthedoctor]

ENGLAND. WHERE IT IS IN A BAG AND YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF.

like what do you do with already liquid tea? Microwave it?

[asmallvillageincanada]

No it’s sweet tea you drink it cold

[abbysrwk-deactivated20140508]

WHO DRINKS COLD TEA???

[randomthingieshere]

HAVE YOU NEVER HAD ICED/SWEET TEA BEFORE?!?

[prouwu-deactivated20190721]

so i reblogged this from a british person and i’ve been laughing at their tags for 600 years

[cloudyobsession]

England, you stole tea from China.  You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+.  Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.

BOSTON TEA PARTY PART 2

[vampire-spit]

[lilzodiac]

[dmzenog]

Drinking cold tea is like drinking cold hot chocolate. Sure, you *can* do it, but you *really shouldn’t*

[brownirisandcurls-deactivated20]

[itsliterallythis]

Cold coffee

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

[benjamminandthemarmalades]

Does the rest of the world not use ice cubes? Do y'all not have freezers? What is going on?

[dazzling-rubabe]

Just thought I’d put my 2 cents in this post, it’s iced tea and not sweet tea. Idk what Americans r smoking 💀

[ithoughtthiswastwitterbutfr]

I’m relatively new to Tumblr but it seems like sort of a big deal that I found this post so I’m gonna reblog

[transtimwrightwithstyle]

Me seeing this for the 14th time in my 5 years on tumblr and seeing more notes and comments but still reblogging it since it’s literally a World Heritage Post

[heritage-post]

date of origin: November 5th, 2013

[batter-sempai]

I’ve seen this post cross my dash so many times over the years, with new additions each time. And even though it’s been 9 years since the original post, it’s still hilarious.

[blurglesmurfklaine]

did… did you say November 5th????

[honeysucklepink]

Boy are y’all gonna be surprised at what some countries call “lemonade.”

[closetedgaychristian]

Brits don’t even drink coffee, they put dried coffee crystals into water and drink that. Instant coffee is the literal worst.

Context:

The original video, for anyone who hasn't seen it:

And the relevant album cover:

Sessler was a teenager when "We're Not Gonna Take It" it was on the charts. Probably had MTV so he saw the video.

No fuckin' idea how he thought it was in support of "traditional American values."

No one disrespects my man Dee in this house.

[a-wonderful-use-of-server-space]

Never forget when he sat in front of a congressional hearing about Lewd Music Corrupting the Youth and completely shut that shit down in the most professional manner that no member of that committee expected from a hair metal musician. They thought they'd get easy points off of a dumb metalhead and this man not only knew exactly what the fuck he was talking about, he tore their arguments apart.

Why? I’m from Australia so I don’t know anything about this stuff

[femmeharlequin-deactivated20240]

Because there should be public transit and trains. It is a ridiculously short flight that is just polluting the world unnecessarily but a lot of people don’t have a better option. There’s so many major cities in that small area that they should have train lines between them all

[seiya234]

okay so like, I live in Baltimore. Boston is 8 hours by car away. But! There’s a direct train that goes there so I should take it and-

the train is 8 hours. Okay no big deal at least I’m not driving I can relax and-

the train ticket will run me one way between 100-300 dollars depending on when I buy it from Amtrak.

However, I can get an 80 dollar plane ticket one way on southwest, so I do that instead.

anyway it is beyond frustrating to be in the most used part of the amtrak system and still have train tickets be so goddamn cost prohibitive.
