If you were famous which one of your characteristics do you think your fans would be obsessed with?

For me it's either be the fact that in short and they'd call me a baby all the time or my eyes

Unpopular Opinion but Charlie's friendships with the seniors in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower were very toxic and emotionally manipulative.

Hi guys I need advice for my geese. So I have 5 geese (idk the breed but they're like the stereotypical white ones) and usually they all walk in a group. They act like normal geese, mean and horrible, but recently their behavior has changed. One of the males ran off with a female leaving the other 3 males together. Now they have been acting crazy. They do things they've never done before: running everywhere, standing in the road, just being crazy. Recently they were near some Candian geese so idk if they gave them some type of disease but idk what's wrong with them.

Do ppl know about trump actively trying to buy the company that’s currently working on a covid vaccine and wanting to keep it to American use only or is this a Germany only headline

It gets wierder and more troubling too. Apparently the CEO that met with trump has abruptly stepped down. The company is now being run by one of its founders. Wtf is going on here?

have not seen it in america but that IS pretty fuckin horrifying so like hey what the fuck

[fluffmugger]

You really need to see this in the US because everyone else on the fucking planet has been seeing this for nearly a week and we are PISSED

Your government, in the middle of a global fucking pandemic, literally tried to buy the vaccine under development for said pandemic exclusively for the US.

This isn’t just a daily fail bullshit squawk, this has been confirmed by multiple sources, INCLUDING THE GODDAMN GERMAN GOVERNMENT.  “CAPITALISM HAS LIMITS” and you have crossed a fucking line. 

[berniesrevolution]

A general strike? On April 20th, 2020? To make an aid plan that would be permanent? To make healthcare a right? That’d be crazy to have happen on April 20th. Absolutely crazy for a general strike on April 20th. Nothing is going to happen on April 20th, 2020 in the form of a general strike. Nope, not on April 20th, 2020. 

This can’t happen. Nope. Nothing. Will. Happen. On. April 20th 2020.

oh man i just noticed the bootlickers in the notes

You don’t need someone to bag your groceries. Bag them yourself. “but then i’ve just proven that we don’t need baggers lololol” The reason baggers exist isn’t because we can’t do it ourselves, it’s because having someone to ring up your shit and bag it makes things a hell of a lot more convenient. Clerks and baggers are AMAZING at saving time, and you want that convenience. You don’t want to spend the extra time doing it. You’ve just realized that the commodity of having a bagger saves you so much time. so fucking pay them a living wave to do it.

Oh but what about deliveries of life-saving equipment and medical supplies? Because that’s where people always go when talking about strikes and protests. PEOPLE WILL DIE!!!!111one Yeah. People who are striking don’t want to hurt people. No one is ever really hurt by a strike. This is the same argument used when people block roads to protest. “But what about the emergency vehicles!!!” they cry, while watching a video of a crowd of protesters parting for an ambulance. The truth is, vital services will still function, because the people who strike have more compassion in their small toe than you have in your entire body.

You remember that Scrubs episode where the nurses went on strike? But they couldn’t actually walk out because of their patients. So they slowed down all their administrative work that didn’t involve helping sick and injured people. That’s it.

People are so worried about ME ME ME ME when workers go on strike. Because either you got yours so you think no one else has a right (because for some reason you think rights are a pie, and if someone gets more rights, somehow you get less? Yeah, about that. The US just pissed $1.5 trillion away into the stock market, so there’s more than enough pie for you AND the bagger you just yelled at to hurry up), or you were cheated and abused your whole life and now you’re 70 and destitute and you think everyone else should be as miserable as you are. Fuck you.

Strike. Fight for your rights. Store clerks, delivery personnel, and stock clerks work ten times harder than any CEO, and I’ll gladly be inconvenienced if it means you get higher fucking pay.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I cannot overemphasize the power of a general strike 

these fuckers really chose 4/20. they did that. much respect

[zagreusavenger-deactivated20200]

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

[outlanderalien]

This man has had a profound effect on the world, it’s estimated he shortened the war by 2 years, saved countless lives and was the father of modern computing. Without him the world would be a very different, and very dark place.

[piss-bong]

He wasn’t just chemically castrated. The injections they have him were intended to decrease his libido as part his sentence for “gross indecency”. About 2 years after his trial he was found dead in his apartment next to a half eaten apple that was filled with cyanide (which became the inspiration for the Apple logo).

Turing is one of the most amazing people in all of history. He developed our modern method of computing (see: the Turing Machine) and advanced computer science by immeasurable amounts. And he dies when he was 41. Just imagine if he lived in a world where he was accepted. Imagine the technology we would have today and how many more lives would have been saved. No person deserves what Turing got, especially not someone as brilliant as him.
