I like using brand names as generic terms, because they can lose their trademark and thus their power and brand recognition through genericization. Examples of former trademarks that have now been genericized include Aspirin, Trampoline, and Escalator. Examples of current trademarks at risk of genericization include Bandaid, Photoshop, and Frisbee. If we work together, we can take them down. List of brands we've conquered. You can help by expanding this list.

google is also facing this so as long as you keep saying "i googled it", or "google it" etc., they could lose their trademark and I think that's beautiful.

this narlie hug is the Bane of my existence i am crumbling to the floor as i type this Let me tell u why . it’s bc in this scene, for the whole week nick had to endure being forced to sit next to b*n in his revision period; endured his taunts and shitty attitude and the doubt he was trying to plant into nick’s mind, listening to him only think of nick’s boyfriend as an object and bully charlie behind his back. and what’s even better? his homophobic brother is home from uni, so nick practically gets the same treatment he does at school at home but instead of ben, it’s his own brother. on top of that, he’s stressed about his exams, trying to navigate coming out, and of course, charlie was grounded. but charlie snuck out for nick anyway to see him, and i just. you can FEEL how much that meant to nick; that charlie was there for him and willing to break the rules if it meant he could see nick even if he’d get in trouble. and then when they meet up, they hug and it’s the way you can see Nick hold Charlie so tight despite only having one arm to, burying his face into charlie’s shoulder and scrunching his eyes up tight— you just know nick needed that hug SO bad. he’s been having to put up with so much shit from other people, he’s been so stressed out, but none of that really matters when he has charlie there to hold and to talk to and to cheer him up.

tldr ; THAT BOY IS NICK’S HOME AS LONG AS CHARLIE IS THERE WITH HIM EVERYTHING IS OKAY OIUUUGGHH HE IS SO IN LOVE 🙁🙁🙁🙁

adam parrish being just a little villain-coded is so fun to me. it never stops tickling me that the set-up WAS THERE for him to betray gansey in a worse version of the story — he was the rejected member of the love triangle, he was bitter about gansey's privilege, he's methodically ambitious about getting his in a dog-eat-dog world. in TRB, when he stole the camaro, ran off and killed whelk, that COULD'VE been the beginning of a villain arc.

but he loves his friends too much to let them go, and his friends love him too much to let him go. so he's their fucked-in-the-head sly friend who blackmails people with made-up child murder and scams rich harvard students with fake readings and pathologically lies like he breathes <3 something so wrong with him but he's a good guy <3

We're not appreciating the Weird Barbie enough. It's said in the movie that she helps everyone who need help while they always see her as someone who's not as good as them. She was friends with all dismissed Barbies and Kens, was there to offer support and safe shelter for everyone who needed it in Kendom, without her nothing in the movie would've been alright. When Stereotypical Barbie calls her "ugly and unwanted" she still helps her.

She was representing a woman in women's world who was pushed aside by other women because she didn't fit in but still had more wiseness and kindness than everyone who thought they're better than her.

Rewatching the “Jack the Ripper” episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime, and it gets to the point (early in the episode) where Shane asks if this may have been one of the very first “media frenzies”, and Ryan suggests that maybe people back then talked about it by way of old timey-puppet shows that made satire of current events.

And  lightbulb goes off in my head when it looks like a lightbulb goes off in Shane’s head when he says, “OK, I can see that, little puppets, yeah…”

I heard someone call barbie disappointingly heterosexual and I've never disagreed with anything more strongly in my life

[gayspacemonk]

greta gerwig looked at the "what if the roles were reversed" argument and said "the roles ARE reversed, but ok, let's see it side by side then, our world vs the reversed world, look at it, how does it feel? not so nice is it?"

My favorite pirate joke is “why does it take pirates so long to learn the alphabet? Because they spend years at c” not because it’s THAT funny but because it’s a relatively simple joke that nobody ive told it to has ever correctly guessed the punchline for because they all think it’s gonna be a joke about arrrr

[1percentcharge]

Another classic is

“Why couldn’t the pirates play cards? Because the captain was standing on the deck!”

For more hilarious pirate jokes like these go to google and type pirate jokes into the search bar and click search

Sorry for the double reblog I just wanted to let everyone know that I told the first joke to my dad and he hung up on me.

I usually don’t spare it a lot of thought but I’m still like absurdly annoyed at the comments on the Yellow Trailer that are like “I miss when Yang was fun and bubbly like this she’s just sad all the time now

Like that was never her real personality you punk ass losers. It was all a facade… even before the fall of Beacon she never acted as exaggerated as she does in the Yellow Trailer she’s doing it to get information out of Junior

And!!! So what if it wasn’t an act and that was how she really was back then?? Yang’s entire life has been defined by loss. Raven, Summer, Pyrrha, Penny, who knows how many nameless classmates when Beacon fell, her arm, and Blake Weiss and Ruby even for a short period of time. She’s changed as a person and grown enough to not have to put on the act all the time plus she has a stronger support system now in Blake but also rw+jrn

[citadelofmythoughts]

This was something that was LITERALLY SPELLED OUT by Ren in V8. Yang is very good at hiding her pain behind a laugh or bravado.

Gee, it’s almost like the text that appears at the start of the Yellow Trailer didn’t caution people against making those kinds of assumptions.

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”
