this may be totally incomprehensible to post-9/11 country music listeners but there was a time country music was only about smoking weed and going to jail

[byjove]

country music 40 years ago: I have warrants out in 7 counties. I’m on the run after killing my boss. I’m crossfaded on pot and whiskey. My wife is leaving me. Government is failing us. The cops suck.

country music now: Nothing bad ever happens in small towns. I love drinking ice cold beer and driving around in my $50k truck. Friday night football!

Every time I think about what the New York Times did to Susan Doku, I get a bit enraged inside

[thyfleshc0nsumed]

In case you don't know, Susan Doku, inventor of popular number puzzle game Sudoku, was outed as a lesbian by the New York Times in 2003. Many have speculated this was done more or less to slander her to the public so their attempted purchase of exclusive printing rights for the game could be done at a much lower price. She actually lost a lawsuit against the Times, as it was not deemed libelous, given she was in a civil partnership with her now wife, Christina "Chris" Ward.

Susan also lays claim to the first recorded use of the word "polyamorous" in her 1994 essay "81 Squares"

[thyfleshc0nsumed]

UPDATE: The NYT apologized after 22 years and SOLD HER THE FREAKING RIGHTS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.

[ascholarlyengineer]

that's...they're adults 4 years apart, who on Earth would think there's any sort of meaningful age gap

If I see a company advertising with AI, it makes me lose trust in them and the services and goods they supply. If you’re too slimy and cheap to hire a voice actor for a 15 second ad or an artist to design promotional graphics, what other corners are you cutting? There was a nurse posting pictures of the AI generated advertisement his hospital posted everywhere and he was pointing out the errors in the image like the stethoscope having two sets of earpieces and the doctor’s fingers being wrong. I think if I walked into a hospital and saw that bullshit I’d be like “They’re charging me $80k for this procedure and not paying advertising people to do their job. Are they paying custodians to do their job? What else are they cheaping out on and could it be something that kills me?”

if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know

a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going

wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that

they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not

a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting

a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed

if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now

young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it

letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

literally ok so not a funny story but kind of funny? when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom what’s this mean and she explained it and I was like oh. gross. and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ???? but I was like wait hang on there’s a word for that ☝️🤓 and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to you and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girl (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasn’t Urgent)

[zarohk]

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

There are so many people that are pro disability rights until they find out disabilities can be gross sometimes. It's so wild seeing the same people advocating for more mental health talk losing their shit over a depressed person not brushing their teeth or cleaning their spaces, or people who totally support physically disabled people until they find out I once pissed in a cup because I was in too much agony to get out of my bed, or that sometimes cups and food sit in my room longer than they should because I physically can't get up to put them away. Disabled people sometimes have incontinence, disabled people sometimes have bad hygiene, and still deserve to be supported. It's so fucking performative and it pisses me off. Even other disabled people act like this. Shaming people for stuff they can't control doesn't help anyone, just makes you an insufferable person.

[divorce-enjoyer]

i didnt know you were allowed to do things for the sake of wanting to do things. i thought you were just supposed to keep that locked inside your ribcage and let it rot you inside out until youre limping around as the desiccated corpse of who you could have been
