Not Very Original, Am I? @asaltysurprise - Tumblr Blog

deeply unlikeable and unpleasant female characters are actually so important for the ecosystem and also as a good litmus test over if a person is Weird about women or not

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.

spriggan675

Love to see this post getting notes again. None of us are ok.

orteil42

i may just be french but do americans really not get paid summer vacations? you don't go to the beach with your kids? "There is no federal or state statutory minimum paid vacation or paid public holidays" am i reading this right? like i'm not trying to rub anyone's face in it but you're just stuck in the rat race year-round until you're old and that's normal and accepted??? in the 21st century???

I can't fucking believe we live like this

That map is kind of misleading. At least in the case of Spain, but I suspect mostly everywhere else too: you see, here you get 22 mandatory vacation days, yeah, but those are just the ones you get to choose the dates for. Then, you have another 14 days per year of mandatory public holidays. So the minimum number of paid off days is 36 per year, not 22.

If I'm not wrong, the US is the only country in the world with no legally mandated public holidays.

This makes it seem all the more evil and insidious that the usa tries so hard to infect the world with our version of capitalism...

vampires have been drinking human blood for centuries they don't give a fuck about guys on eight different antidepressants. they were sucking on asbestos factory workers

sadpearonmars

The absolutely hilarity of imagining some older vampires hectoring younger ones. “Back in my day, I had to drink blood with radium in it and I liked it! We glowed in the damn dark for weeks!”

Reblogging this again now because DON’T GODDAMN FORGET

flock-of-cassowaries

As a recovering Capitalism True Believer, and a former aspiring economist… this one hurts.

The best way to keep the fash off your blog isn't having a dni banner or whatever you just have to bang pots and pans together every so often like "I love trans women and jewish people" and they scuttle away like roaches when you turn the lights on

tlirsgender

I joke but Genuinely this is true. Being a Really Vocal Ally is so much more effective than just posting like "reblog to punch a nazi" or dunking on jk rowling or whatever

tlirsgender

Also I'd like to point out that I picked those two examples very intentionally because transmisogyny and antisemitism are extremely pervasive even among people who otherwise consider themselves progressive. All the people in the notes adding things like "I love all queer people I love all religions" have the spirit so do I but you're kind of missing my point by just a few degrees

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

bardnuts

and then you get to the hospital and the doctors try to kill you

i am a woman at war with herself, torn forever between my love of detective fiction and my hatred of cops and cop media

telltaletypist

it's so fucked up that detective is a type of cop irl. it's more like a gender to me

phantoms-lair

So the old school detective stories tended to have a view point of cops being completely helpless idiots. The Copaganda didn't come until later

Members of The Public sometimes say things like "How stupid to try to bring back wolves! They can harm you!" "We can't bring back panthers, those are dangerous!"

There is no debate to be had. Attacks on humans by these animals are extraordinarily rare, but even if they weren't, it would be our responsibility to minimize risk and keep ourselves safe while respecting the right of the animals to exist. These animals are very important to the health and well being of everything in the ecosystem and we do not have the right to forever impair the flourishing of life on the land to eliminate an already infinitesimally small risk. Wolves and panthers exist for a reason, and you don't get to decide they shouldn't exist, cause you're not God.

Wolves aren't evil because they eat cows. You also eat cows. That's why we raise cows in the first place.

old German lady gave me acupuncture today

she lifted up my shirt, saw my top surgery scars, and immediately went "WHOA! What caused THIS?"

my fellow comrades, it took every atom of my strength not to just say the funniest lie I could think of on the spot.

Fuck self-sufficiency. It's time for Interdependence. Always offer help and always accept it. Cook meals for the people you love. Grow fruits and vegetables and give them to your neighbors. The "independent" person is merely the perfect version of a Consumer, eating directly from the palms of Corporation. Fuck self-sufficiency. Need one another.
