Gameboy peripheral PediSedate was designed for dentists and dosed kids with nitrous oxide as they played games.
Time to enter the ＧＡＭＥＲ ＺＯＮＥ
Camera, printer, sewing machine, now a fucking anaesthetic adminstrator…was there anything the Game Boy didn’t have an accessory for?
Do you know about the fish finding sonar?
gameboy sprinted so smart phones could lag and be ugly
A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore
The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:
We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.
It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.
An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.
I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.
Zealous veganism is also super duper racist too. Like indigenous people have been on the landscape for thousands of years and cultivation of animals is a huge part of their culture, a huge amount of this idealism makes it harder for indigenous people to protect their rights and culture. And a lot of the more radical vegans I talk to about this try to then logic why it’s fine for indigenous people, but not for any other human group. Like I know white people are all over and people really dont want to consider them as indigenous, but white people are also indigenous too to majority of europe and have their own religious and spiritual aspects to animals. Like humans love animals deeply, they play such an important role in our entire civilization. Some exist solely because of humans.
This also completely ignores poor people and intercity population who do not and cannot afford these food items. Really only people of some kind wealth can afford this.
Humans are also very much a large predator, like for some stupid reason this idea set also loves to erase the entire human history of you know hunting and harvesting animals for survival and religious reasons.
Out teeth and guts literally support a meat based diet.
To finalize this, I have no issues with vegans themselves. My mother and quite a few friends are, ive happily eaten meatless diets and loved learning how make items like this that I know my family and friends can enjoy. But the second you try to force your beliefs on anyone, that is when I have a huge issue with you. You are as bad as those crazy religious zealots on the corner screaming how we are all sinners. You just don’t want to see yourselves that way, but you are.

I was gunna put this in the tags but it’s a lot. When i first started going through the process of getting a diagnosis, i was labelled with ODD. I immediately took issue with this, it seemed like an unfair diagnosis based entirely on the session the psychiatrist had with my parents (which mostly consisted of “my child is being really difficult on purpose”), and Hoo Boy when i tell you ODD immediately strips you of your ability to call out anyone on anything, that would be an understatement. I couldn’t even disagree or bring up my concerns about the validity of MY OWN DIAGNOSIS without it being labelled as oppositional defiance. Whenever i displayed any negative emotion the “treatments” did so much more harm than good. When you label someone as ‘defiant’ (ugh), when that word is put on their medical record, that person is never allowed to complain about anything again. Knowing that POC are disproportionately affected with this diagnosis makes me feel sick, i can only imagine what’s being swept under the rug as someone just being “defiant to authority”, not even just in the medical field but as justification for police brutality and mass incarceration. When i say medical racism kills people, this is what i mean.
this is so fucking important. reblog.
no U are not anyones “yandere girlfriend” you are a white girl with cat ear headphones who calls herself mizaki chan
This post makes people so angry op is in witness protection
I’ve seen Tumblr being a broken mess before but this post really takes the cake. OP doesnt have a name. If you look in the notes half the reblogs are just colons. I’ve seen people say clicking on OP’s blog brings them to an entirely random one, and that they couldnt exit it. You’ve got people investigating OP, and white girls getting all defensive. One of those heritage posts blogs is there. If I wanted to show someone peak Tumblr and what its like on here I’d just show them this post.

For real your cellphone and your computer should 100% NOT be backing up your photo storage or anything else to any variety of icloud or onedrive.
I'm aware that in some ways I'm a weird luddite but this is one of the major, major problems that I have with so much of the modern technology landscape existing as tools that allow you to access your data rather than tools which allow you to store your data.
Look at the data that you have. Look at what you are storing. Ask yourself "if the internet stopped working tomorrow, would I be able to access this information?"
If the answer is "no" you have 2 problems:
1 - You don't actually have that information and can easily lose access to it.
2 - You may not know who DOES have access to that information. If it's encrypted storage you're probably somewhat secure, but IS it encrypted storage? Or is it stored in plaintext on someone else's server?
So my deal with the EARN IT Act is that I don't super duper trust any of our government systems to do fuck all. I think it's worthwhile to contact your representatives, but I don't know that it will actually DO anything.
However YOU can do something.
If you don't want your data accessible to companies that will scan it and test it and pass it on to the government, don't give those companies your data.
Store things locally. Learn how to send and share encrypted files. If you have to store things online, store them with encryption that *you* have set up.
Honestly I'm pretty sure this is going to be bad. I'm pretty sure there are going to be significant security compromises as a result of the EARN IT Act and that we're going to get so buried in breached data that it's going to fundamentally alter how we have to identify ourselves in ways that will be more difficult to use while making people easier to track.
It's shit, and I hate it, and the internet is getting smaller and more fenced in and the big fun platforms that were easy to use and that let people of all technical skill levels share and collaborate that we had a couple decades to explore are now things that will just be a means of exploitation.
It fuckin' blows, friends.
But it also means that NOW is the time to fundamentally re-think how you interact with the internet. Ask yourself how you send data, and where you keep it. Ask yourself who has your information and how it is secured. Ask yourself what would happen if someone who hated you had access to your primary email account for a day, and ask yourself how you would try to fix what they fucked up.
EARN IT sucks, but this is NOT one of those instances in which you are helpless if it passes. Right now, before it passes, talk to the non-internet people in your life about why it is bad:
- It will mean that the government can see all your stored files - It will mean the websites you store files on will not be allowed to encrypt those files - It will mean that any asshole hacker who can access those systems can access all that data that will now be unencrypted.
This shitty act will make EVERYONE who uses the websites that are subject to the EARN IT act more vulnerable to data breaches, ID theft, and exploitation from hackers while ALSO enabling effortless surveillance by our own government.
This is bad, so tell your relatives and friends and co-workers to tell their representatives WHY it is bad by using this site: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-the-earn-it-act-to-save-our-privacy
The site is very easy to use and literally you do not even have to navigate to a separate page to contact your representatives.
And in case that doesn't work, in case it passes anyway, ask yourself what you're doing. Ask yourself who has your data. Ask yourself who can see what you've stored online, and learn what you need to do to make sure the answer is "*I* own my data, and I control who has access to it."

Knowing that Japanese courts have a conviction rate of 99.9% really enhances the experience of Ace Attorney.
On one hand, it gives you the minimum context to understand that Ace Attorney was intended as a critique of the justice system in which it takes place—the ridiculous hoops you have to jump through, the over-the-top bloodthirst of the prosecution, the blind naivete of the judge. It gives the games more thematic weight, too. Phoenix truly is an underdog pitting himself against a system he knows he has little chance against. His belief in his clients' innocence is not merely a character trait, but a revolutionary act. It also emphasizes that Phoenix truly is a force of nature, to win as many cases as he does.
On the other hand, it makes the prosecutors' pride in their "win record" absolutely hilarious, and the fact that Phoenix breaks it even more so. Imagine spending 40 years bragging about how you have a perfect record of never being struck by lightning and then some bisexual idiot six months out of grad school casts Thunderbolt on your ass
Re: the last post, the article mentions that some places use clams to test the toxicity of the water. It’s like that in Warsaw- we get our water from the river, and the main water pump has 8 clams that have triggers attached to their shells. If the water gets too toxic, they close, and the triggers shut off the city water supply automatically.
The clams are just better at measuring the water quality than any man-made sensors.
Edit: check out this documentary trailer : https://vimeo.com/408820791
God Bless Our Troops
They hot glued a spring to a clam and gave it full control over the water supply
No of course not, that would be ridiculous.
They hot glued springs to eight clams and gave them collective control over the water supply.
No of course not, hot glue would kill the clams.
The used silicone adhesive to attach springs to eight clams and gave them collective control over the water supply.
Excuse me but that’s clearly a chemist.
Holy fuck there's no chill at Gizmodo

someone on twitter said unova legends wild west time skip and my brain went to vaquero Ñ in 1.2 seconds flat
Wanted to redraw some of mu nature guardians :D Here's the first ^W^
the internet HAS been turned into a series of easily swallowable pills for quick consumption and standardization and I don’t think it’s ‘boomery’ to discuss how the internet no longer feels like a wild wild west and has been massively gentrified for quick access to anything you could ever want or need and that next hit of dopamine. there is a difference between ‘social media bad’ and ‘our experiences online are increasingly manufactured by algorithms looking to make money from scraping metrics of data about who we are to either sell us stuff or sell who we are to people who will sell us stuff’
