the problem with genetically modified crops is not so much the genetic modification but the patenting of genetic codes (and crops in general) as a tool of maintaining agricultural imperialism, and for this reason I can't talk to most people about GMOs

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

supapoopa

What a time to be alive.

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

fromaliminalspace

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

before I get any hate for this, I am an asexual speaking.

I hate when people- including asexuals- say "sex ed shouldn't be required". I've seen it so much.

Sexual education isn't perfect. It focuses on primarily or entirely male-female intercourse. Obviously it's flawed.

But everyone should go through it at some point.

There are so many issues with the "asexuals don't need sex ed" sentiment.

I'll go through a few of them here.

Acespec erasure. Asexual does not mean "I will never have sex or have to do anything with my genitals". It means a lack of sexual attraction. The sentiment erases all sex-favourable, sex-neutral, etc asexuals. I am a sex-favourable asexual.

Sex ed does not mean "how to have sex 101". It is to do with sexual intercourse, bodies, illnesses, etc. Whether you want to have sex or not, you need to know how to take care of your genitals. Bodily care is part of sex ed.

Anything can happen. I repeat, anything can happen. If an asexual is raped, sexually assaulted, has sex at all, changes their mind and decides they're not asexual later in life, you need to know how to deal with that. I do not want to invalidate asexual teenagers. I trust them with their identities. However. There is no guarantee that all asexual teens will turn into asexual adults. Hormones are strange and can easily affect that stuff. And there's no way to know if your identity will always be what it is. I've seen asexual teens be allo adults, and allosexual teens be ace adults.

Sexual education is important, whether you want sex or not.

having a lot of feelings about passionate missionary sex between millipedes. sure, their faces are so close because of the positioning of their genitals, dictated by evolution, so it only appears that they stare into each others eyes and kiss each other so gently. sure, it’s pure projection that they reveal their soft underbellies and allow total vulnerability with each other, these tiny fat brightly colored creatures who wear armor because they are so irresistibly plucked by hungry mammals or birds. of course they wrap their bodies around each other in a gentle, thousand-legged embrace, if only to provide stability and ensure fertilization. perhaps they are blind and unfeeling, so small and so alone in a world so much bigger than them. perhaps love is a chemical bond and life is cheap and fleeting. perhaps creatures so small and odious are capable of nothing but mechanical instinct. perhaps, for a minute, i can believe otherwise. perhaps, for a minute, i can see the love of god through all creatures, biped, quadruped, and milipede; through eyes simple and compound.

I didn't ask if it made sense to keep going. I said I'm going to kick your twisted evil ass.

God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you're back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun's cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me.

Hey? Hey holy shit

platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you

yesterday i was chilling with my friend and there was an ice cream van outside and every time the jingle played i'd look out the window and after the third time i did this my friend said, accurately, 'i think you want to get ice cream but you're scared of the ice cream man.' devastating

you ever have situations that make you want to take people by the shoulders and go "you are not 15 any longer. this behavior is no longer quirky and cute. it is exhausting for you and everyone else to act like a teenager you haven't been in a decade or longer. knock it the fuck off"

lots of ppl making this about adults who have interests they find cringe but let me be clear this is about emotional immaturity. idgaf if you're 35 and like goku okay but can you have an adult conversation without making yourself the victim is the matter at hand here
