Emet-Selch: Alright, who was it that let the Warrior of Light see them?

Fandaniel: I don’t want to point any fingers but it was Lahabrea.

Lahabrea: You said you wouldn’t point fingers.

Fandaniel: I said I didn’t want to, not that I wouldn’t.

Elidibus: Heh

The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

[unfuckablebogtroll]

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

Thoughts and prayers to my European mutuals suffering under their omega heat

[what-even-is-thiss]

That last post I reblogged got me thinking again about how people can’t separate their idea of manhood from violence.

It’s like some people are capable of imagining womanhood without submission but can’t imagine manhood without dominance. Like for some reason in their minds women can escape their gender norms and make a new definition of what gender is for themselves but men can’t.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My cishet dad has often told me that he found feminist theory to be very freeing. It told him that yes men can be gentle and caring. Yes men can be sensitive. Being a man means what you want it to mean.

I’ve met other cishet men that feel the same way. I really do like talking with cis men about gender sometimes. You really see them become a lot happier when they fully internalize the idea that being a man means whatever they want it to mean.

me watching Chinese Short Dramas: Oh! You about to spit up blood? No? Awww...Oh NOW you gonna spit up blood? COME ON! hurry up and spit up blood b/c your Qi got fucked up b/c you're a dumbass who hurt the only woman who loved you!!!

You know, every time I draw something stupid, I think to myself "surely I can't top this!" And then somehow I draw something even dumber

Edit: NOOO NOO WHY IS THIS GETTING NOTES??? STOP IT!! ONLY LIKE 10 PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO SEE THIS AND THEN ID BURY IT UNDER MY REPOSTS NOOO

[actualanxiousswampwitch]

Oh no, I tried to like your potato concoction post but it was already gone :'D For what it's worth, I think your voice is very cute!! And I'm sure the potatoes are tasty, too, even if they decided to become something other than planned ^^

the potatoes ARE good XD and i got super nervous about my voice so i deleted the post lol

also thank you! i try and keep in mind my voice is viewed as cute by most people but there's that Fear you know?

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

[fuglyjeans]

Have you heard about Bluetooth it's legal now

[rui-cifer]

yeah it's real fucking convenient to use a bluetooth headphone and have it die on me hour 8 of hiking up a mountain during my job. You know what's 1 less device I have to charge and has never died on me during a hike due to lack of charge? A headphone I just plug directly into my device.

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

[melyzard]

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.

Shad literally used to make videos like this (not a compliment).

[blumineck]

Hey look I’m fully on board with Shad hate, but this comment is really unhelpful unless you tell me what the actual problem is

[actualanxiousswampwitch]

Me: huh, this is weird an annoying

My 7’5 friend: you might have neuropathy. And you should get checked for rheumatoid arthritis- you’re white and it affects white women a lot.

Me:…. Thank you, now I have words to tell my doctor

I have been enjoying seeing people experience food this World Cup

[redflagshipwriter]

The person who wrote this has almost certainly never been to Japan- if they had, they would know that Japanese restaurants also offer table appetizers in many contexts. Some of them? Mexican restaurants. You can get free tortilla chips when you eat Mexican food in Tokyo Osaka Kobe Kyoto and rural HIMEJI for fuck’s sake. Those are just places where I’ve personally had free tortilla chips in Japan.

This is chat gpt trash prompted to “sound Japanese” and it’s based off of racist old movie dialogue. There’s zero correlation here to Japanese grammar and how Japanese translates into English or how a native speaker of Japan uses English. It’s slop. It’s racist ai slop rehashing Western exceptionalism, fantasizing about a Japanese person being in awe of how great the USA is. It’s depressing that people fell for this. I know it feels good to think that other people like us, and sometimes they do, but this only works if you assume Japanese people have extremely limited experience and worldview. It’s mortifying.

If someone other than me would push back against this propaganda, it would be nice.

jedi knight simultaneously the sacrificial lamb and the scapegoat of the Jedi order 😔🙏 playing a slightly DS jedi knight after chapter 2 onwards is insane because everyone is talking about destiny and the will of the force and how you have to be the one to face the emperor and ever since you arrived on Tython people have been molding you into a weapon and Satele really gambles it all on you. if you defeat the emperor and hold to the light side then she was right all along and everything you went through was worth it and if you do it but you fall then she was still right and you were the one who wasn’t strong enough despite the fact you got 0 guidance and support about how much fighting and killing you were asked to do despite the fact she was the one who told you that the living force affects the one who does the killing . like she couldn’t get too involved because she had to trust the will of the force but even if the jedi knight freaks and insists they need help or they can’t do this they’re only given platitudes and not teaching. not at all helped by the Sith who joins their crew and reinforces the same lessons but in a different way . me when I do everything asked of me and more up to and including the Sith emperor and an publicly humiliated on live holotv and denied the rank of master and given the pity title of commander/general by the REPUBLIC SENATE and not the jedi order because I couldn’t keep my head above water the way they wanted me to
