Bites When Provoked

40-something Agnostic cisgender male. Just on the off chance that you decide follow me without creating a blog name or having any posts (especially any posts that just have links to something else), do NOT be surprised when I assume that you are a bot or something and block you.

[biteswhenprovoked]

If you start following me, but have very little information listed about yourself, and have not blogged/reblogged ANYTHING? Don't be surprised if I block you.

Look for issues in discs made from 2006 to 2008.

Happy Ides of March, everyone.

This is only an appreciation for Shakespeare, and does not in any way advocate any particular action.

Sex work is real work and if you disagree, leave.

Y’all really out here getting cucked huh

[noblepeasant]

Dude, he’s fucking the girl you jack off to. That’s the exact opposite of being cucked.

The comments are full of people going “it’s not like they’re having sex in these examples or anything” so I’ll go ahead and bite the controversy bullet and add:

Even if a sex worker partner is having sex with clients, it’s also literally just work. It isn’t morally wrong. There is nothing wrong with it if both parties in a relationship are aware of the work, and if everyone is being safe.

Sex workers who have sex are no worse or “dirtier” than sex workers who provide other services.

[optimysticals]

Sex work is work and pitting different types of workers against each other only helps keep us all down.

Actress Dame Maggie Smith dies aged 89

She won two Oscars in her decades-long career and more recently starred in the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey.

Damn.

[nudityandnerdery]

You're right and you should say it.

[ID: A Facebook post by Amanda Shinga Bussell. It reads: "All the damn modern fictional teams that people call "new Scooby gang" are usually in, like, supernatural type shows. And lbr MOST of the shit the original gang dealt with was just evil rich people looking to get richer. The best modern Scooby gang is the team from Leverage, and i will stand by this opinion no one needed." End ID]

I love how you can put literally anything in the tags except for commas. You can have whole-ass ideas and thoughts and messages in there... Just not structured and coherent ones.

The month will be over in almost 30 minutes. This is your reminder in case you need to do anything before then, or not too long after.

[official-lucifers-child]

are we sure though

[kira-serialfaggot]

Maybe if we meme this hard enough he will have to make a public statement about how his name is not Jorkin Depeanus. This causing the general public to become aware of it and destroying any shred of hope he has left

Hmmm...

[ajthebumblebee]

Fascists and white supremacists are OBSESSED with things being done the "correct" way. This is how things are supposed to look, act, work, etc. And any deviation should be punished.

So when you say they're the ones that are out of whack- that really gets under their skin.

This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

[sirfrogsworth]

I'd just like to add that Kim Yeji may look like a cool cyborg badass, but she and the Turkish dad only won silver.

The gold medal winner in the women's air pistol finals was adorable and a bit overshadowed.

Oh Ye-jin, who is only 19, won gold and set an Olympic record with her final score.

Kim Yeji is her mentor and seems very supportive of her.

Also, Oh Ye-jin added a little heart to the barrel blocking thingie.

I mean, it's like she got lost at summer camp and just wandered into the Olympics to win gold.

I think she deserves some attention too.

[thefrogman]

When I was watching the competition I kept wondering why they never showed the actual target as it was being shot. On the broadcast they just show a graphic of the target.

And then the commentator said the bullseye was literally the size of a period—smaller than the actual pellets they are shooting. And that the entire target was the size of a coin.

They'd have to set up a macro lens next to every target for you to see them.

Pretty much every shot lands within the 3 inner circles. And if you hit the 3rd circle your shot is basically garbage. Like you'd see the shooters grimace and do an angry little foot stomp if they hit it there.

Like, if you get a 7 you might as well go home.

And the best shot possible is a 10.9—which would be hitting as close to the bullseye as can be measured.

This was Oh Ye-jin's final gold medal winning shot.

A 10.6!

It's absolutely bonkers how precise these shooters are.

I mean... look at this period...

.

Now imagine trying to shoot it from 30 feet away.

I don't think my old ass could even see the damned thing.
