Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

this single post is more useful to me then four years of art school 

[lulukbraz]

We did it in color study class on my college and it’s incredible the difference between using red/blue/yellow than cyan/magenta/yellow. The purple was colored like shit, so as the greens. Than we tried the actuall primary colors and it FELT SO GOOD!

[zachdanielswhisky]

I JUST TESTED IT IN MY ART PROGRAM AND HOLY SHIT 

IT WORKED REALLY WELL

On the left we have dissapoinment; on the right, love.

[emeraldmercury]

Then why do they teach us that RBY are primary colours in Pre-KG????

[kamiyu910]

To mess with our heads….

Or because they think that cyan and magenta are too difficult for kids to learn? Lame either way

Okay, no. No no no no no no no no NO.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y  T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN. 

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style. 

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Good day.

[jheselbraum]

Also thatswhiskytoyou’s color mixing is bullshit because THIS:

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix  them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

I see, I see.

[jheselbraum]

OH AND ONE MORE THING.

They didn’t teach you about red blue green and cmyk in pre-k because when most of us were in pre-k digital art was still in its early stages and what fucking seven year old knows how to use a printer.

[jheselbraum]

GUESS WHO’S NOT FUCKING DONE YET:

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

This fucking post is why we get newbie graphic designers who don’t know the difference between RGB and CMYK and how it affects the art and printing.

Alliance Vs. Horde is a trap.

*inhales.*

*exhales*

The legion rolled in over ten thousand years ago, setting a lot of things in motion. And then again, in the first war. Since then, a lot of the back and forth between horde and alliance has revolved around revenge due to misunderstandings/something nasty corrupting people. 

We have been building up to this since Pandaria, at least.

Gul’dan only succeeded in destroying the tomb not just because Maiev didn’t help Khadgar. 

But also because Gul’dan, known for his betrayal and thirst for petty revenge,

Took a moment to stop. And think. And stopped being a perpetual child long enough to realise that if he betrayed Kil’Jaedin and the Legion right then and there that he’d get his ass whooped by every damned force on Azeroth. The Legion only ever “failed” because of the times the Horde and Alliance came together long enough to beat it back. Not because it was weak. Or holding things from him. And in that moment, when Gul’dan essentially had that big revealing moment (often reserved for heroes, or trope villains defeated by LOOOVE). He broke the final seal, and Kil’jaedin, proud and impressed that Gul’dan had indeed stopped being a power hungry mortal, now TRUSTS HIM. The Legion has extended its TRUST to Gul’dan because…..they saw that Gul’dan was able to push aside his notions of solitude and selfish goals at a key moment. Gul’dan now has more power than what he would have had if he had just taken off and not destroyed the 5th seal. But why, why was Gul’dan there? Because Khadgar let him go when we first entered Draenor. Why let him escape? Killing him would have stopped the seal all the same, right? Because Khadgar only knew Gul’dan to be a pathetic traitor and didn’t expect him to essentially be BETTER than Gul’dan Prime.  But why a second Gul’dan? Because Garrosh - No. Because of Kairoz. Garrosh wouldn’t have been able to do it without Kairoz. Kairoz wouldn’t have been able to do it if the Dragonflights hadn’t lost their aspect power. THIS is the sort of thing the Bronzes had the power to stop once upon a time. “I have seen the true end time, this is a BLESSING you cannot comprehend.” LEGION isn’t happening because of Garrosh. No. Garrosh was just a pawn, a playing piece to help get others into position. As others helped put him in the place to do so. Thrall left because Deathwing forced him to pursue shamanic duties and temp earthwarder. And then we’ve got the sundering and the Dragon Soul shenannigans and you know what? Before people go on about how ALL of this is the fault because of character  X. Go back; go back to those dungeons and quests you’ve forgotten, ignored, rolled your eyes at, etc. Everything, EVERY MAJOR CONFLICT on Azeroth and Draenor are fueled by crap the Legion either set in motion or had an active hand it. Alliance vs. Horde is the biggest trap the Legion can possibly put together. Why kill Varian? He’d be great bait; much like Tirion was. But furthering the wedge between Horde and Alliance is an even better, more profitable  move. The legion is playing chess, but we’re so focused on arguing over whether or not we’re playing checkers or backgammon to DO anything about it. And that’s the only way the Legion can win chess; by keeping us distracted. Remember, Medivh cheats. Now if  you don’t mind, I am a very. Very tired Archmage. Who is very, very 100% done with having sleep disturbed because people feel the need to fight and be assholes to each other and send me messages at 4, 5 am asking for input.

[daily-bad-jokes]

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.

“Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!”, he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

“Alright, I’m gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain’t back outside by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don’t like to have to do what I dun in Texas!”

Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post.

He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, “Say partner, before you go… what happened in Texas?”

The cowboy turned back and said, “I had to walk home.”

i’d like to know where any of the “gabriel reyes is the boss from hell” stuff spawns from because have you listened to his actual voicelines? yeah he sounds kinda rough but like 1/3 of his lines are dead guy puns and one is him purring “haven’t i… killed you somewhere before?” like its the worlds best pickup line. gabriel seems like the kinda boss that lets you stop by a pizza place on the way back as long as you get extra breadsticks. he seems like the kinda boss that’ll let you skirt around the deadline bc he knows you’re exhausted and nobody ever turns anything in on time around this place anyways. made the blackwatch uniforms armor and whatever the hell else you wanna wear, he doesn’t give a damn.

JACK is the one with the “you didn’t make the cut” and the “thats SIR to you” lines like ???? how yall always getting this backwards
