Honestly “thanks I hate it” is one of the funniest phrases in the English language

[gideongaius]

i one time told my italian professor “grazie lo detesto” and she lost her shit, so it’s not just english

[superamatista]

“¡Gracias! ¡Lo odio!”

Just got a chatgpt ad where the use case was "can't decide a new years resolution". I can't think of anything more sad than needing a robot to tell you what your own ambitions are. Loser shit.

a fun thing that happens during this process is you'll have these private companies hire the ejected government employees who are experts in their respective field. the private company will then contract with the government to replace the lost function or service

so you have the exact same people doing the exact same labor but now you have a CEO/board of directors and a shit ton of other overhead costs in addition to the base cost of labor. This means the amount of services per tax payer dollar falls drastically. All in the name of "efficiency" and "lowering costs"

Not pertinent to anything in particular but I do think it's kinda weird that we keep depicting cavemen in media crawling around on all fours covered in dirt with tangled, matted hair, speaking in broken, cobbled-together toddler language when like.

They were us.

Like literally genetically they were US, just like. A while ago.

Would you trust a TV caveman with a baby? Probably not

A real life caveman though??? I think they'd be at least okay at it

[sheilikhal]

This is actually really important and comes up in Anthropology classes all. The. Time.

As long as homo sapiens have existed, we have had the same emotional and mental capacity as you and I do today. You nailed it. They were US. Even Neaderthals existed alongside and had offspring with Homo Sapiens for many thousands of years.

There's much evidence that cavemen would have had complex spoken language, culture (learned information passed down), symbolic interpretation, and I think they most certainly would have been able to handle holding a baby. In fact I have my suspicisions that an ancient homo sapiens mother may be a more present, attentive, and knowledgable mom than I could be today.

Do not let media trick you into believing we are the pinnacle of humanity. Unilinial evolution theory (google it quick I beg) is BUNK, GARBAGE, and the root of so much evil.

We've been human for a long, long time, and we are not inherently better than all those who came before.

One the most profound experiences of my life was visiting Font de Gaume, which has 12 thousand year old paintings. They use a technique where the horses appeared to run across the wall when seen in flickering firelight. There was a bison the wall staring at us with such attitude, I could practically hear him. I had the most profound feeling of those ancient artists reaching forward to lay their hands on my shoulders. To say, "This was my world." It was a profoundly moving experience.

Some years later, I went to the Orkney islands where we visited a tiny family run museum of artifacts from the chambered tomb at the other end of the farm. They handed me a pestle once held by some neolithci human.They'd worn groves where the thumb and forefinger would be for better grip.

One time, in a French history class, my teacher randomly at the end of the class had all of us draw a sketch of a horse. And we were all like ??? Okay???

At the beginning of the next class, my teacher showed us a cave painting of a horse. And then he showed all of our horses, which he had scanned and put into the presentation.

He then pointed out all the ways that our horses looked similar to the prehistoric horse. Same features, drawn from the same angle, etc.

And then he asked us, "Isn't it cool that you draw horses the same way as someone who lived 20,000 years ago?"

Yeah. That stuck with me for a while.

On the day of Dick Cheney’s death, I’m thinking about a lot of horrible consequences of his actions, but I’m also thinking about Lauren Hough telling Dick Cheney to waterboard her “if it makes him feel better” when she repaired his cable.

[omgthatdress]

I thought Tumblr would celebrate Dick Cheney's death more. I was a teenager during the Bush administration and MAN those were some horrifying years.

RIP to every Afghan (46,319) and Iraqi (210,296) civilians who were murdered in the Global War on Terror.

Rest in Piss, Dick Cheney. I can only imagine demons are doing to you now what US soldiers did to Iraqi civilians in Abu Ghraib.

The Iraq invasion 20 years later: It was indeed a Big Lie that launched the catastrophic war

Bush and Cheney were not misled by flawed intelligence; they were promoting false information.

[omgthatdress]

great article

[biglawbear]

Let's be clear that even though Cheney rightfully opposed Trump late in life, that Cheney laid the groundwork for Trump. Cheney spent his entire life accumulating power, particularly in the executive branch, using illegal military power and surveiling US citizens. There is a direct line from Cheney deciding that the Executive Branch can do whatever it wants in the name of national security and Trump doing Trump things.

another bakery employee here to tell you, if you're sad or scared at 3am just remember that's when the croissants are done proofing and are getting egg washed to be baked just for you. the baguettes are being shaped after proofing for hours and heading into a burning hot oven to be ready for you to order for breakfast

[prismatic-bell]

Hi! I don't work in a bakery but I do work in a factory that makes food packaging and if you're sad or scared at 1am, just remember I'm finishing up my last few rolls and I've spent my night making sure your veggies are fresh.

So please go get some lettuce or spinach or spring mix, because I made sure the packaging was cut perfectly just for you, and getting good nutritious food helps a lot when you don't feel like yourself.

And while you're at it, know this:

I'm not just being cutesy when I say that. I've seen this post many times, and sometimes when I'm having a bad night at work and want to kick everything to the curb, I think "but I need to stay up for the scared people, I can't just leave them alone" and it helps.

You think of me, I'll think of you. We'll keep each other company in the watches of the night.
