Friends, too! Vent by all means. But then get Actual Help.

[ellengton]

Please this. And please don’t be offended when the friend you vent to suggests you need professional help

[chaoticqueerdisasterchild]

I think I needed to see this, and maybe someone else on here does too. It’s true, friends don’t equal therapists

[touhouweed]

Some Holier-Than-Thou Fuck: "Dont shoplift, it inconveniences minimum wage workers and could get them fired :(((("

Me, a grocery store employee that literally watched a guy stuff 10 steaks into a stolen reusable bag at the checkout counter and watched him leave without paying, and without anybody being fired or getting into trouble at all: "You sure?"

[backwardsorbust]

No place I've worked at has EVER given a shit. Sure they saber rattle, but none care THAT much. Case and point I was working at a huge grocery store chain in high school and, on Wednesdays like clockwork, the access vans from the old folks homes would pull up. And I tell you right now, those old timers were fuckin PROS.

My personal favorite was this old dude who was shoplifting a melon. He noticed me as he put his contraband cantaloupe in his bag. And he smiles sheepishly and puts his fingers to his lips as if to say "shh, you didn't see anything". I give him this huge wink and a thumbs up, and his face blooms into a huge grin. Next day, the dude comes up to the sushi counter and real sly slips me a Tupperware of cantaloupe, and goes, "you and me are thick as thieves" and disappears. I never saw pappy again, but you bet your ass I had that melon for lunch and I was grateful for it!!!

I was an ACCOMPLICE and I didn't get in trouble. No one even noticed, including the loss prevention guard who spent his shifts slavishly hitting on me and every other "girl" in prepared foods and produce (I put girl in quotes bcus I am not one). Stores will warn of huge punishments to convince you to snitch on people shoplifting but the fact of the matter is that most stores have exactly 0 way of tracking how much shit gets lost or damaged without you acting as their eyes and ears.

Don't be a class traitor! And remember!

IF NOBODY TALKS, EVERYONE WALKS

[touhouweed]

I hope gramps is still shoplifting melons to this day

[writhe]

just like enamored by this interaction i had yesterday and again today with this old gay man…not to be like ‘oh what a feeling to see someone who has survived’ but literally that & today we actually ended up chatting and he asked me “are you family?” which i didn’t catch at all until he gave me an extremely knowing look (chin tilt, raised eyebrow. and he really just had such a shine about him, too) and i just got flooded with this big stupid feeling thinking about how much he has seen and known…about many things but esp lgbt community as it exists offline and historically & how if i were to ask, and were somehow able to know, there are 1000 different lifetimes in his, i’m sure. his name is leonardo

[onetwistedmiracle]

oh how sad that “family” meaning queer is dying out. that’s always been such a lovely code word.

[chaoticqueerdisasterchild]

I’ve never heard of using family as a code word for queer, but I find it lovely and want to start using it

hey want to see something gorgeous but viscerally discomfiting?

[underwhelmingalchemist]

No <3

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

okey doke!

The Mauritius “underwater waterfall” is not a true waterfall but an naturally occurring optical! In the sense that that’s not water falling, it’s sand and silt shifting! Shifting down a 4000-meter-deep abyssal drop. It is in fact exactly as deep as it looks, sorry :)

Other fun facts about Mauritius include:

that’s where Dodo birds were from!

the entire island has an abnormally strong gravitational pull

and also they just discovered it sits on top of a lost supercontinent or whatever. idk that part’s less cool than the gravity thing

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok i spent 40 minutes learning how to compress a gif for you fucks, please tell me it works now

[orcboxer]

Hot take but praise is a good tool for encouraging healthy behavior. Positive reinforcement is good. Relying exclusively on punishment to change people's behavior is both cruel and ineffective. If someone does better than they did yesterday, let them know you appreciate it, let them know that they're improving!

[orcboxer]

"Don't praise anyone for doing the bare minimum" is a shitty take that prioritizes your sense of superiority over the actual betterment of people. I understand that things shouldn't be as bad as they are, and anger can often be justified, but you need to get over the propaganda that kindness is naïve, that cynicism and bitterness are intellectual. Withholding praise from those who haven't caught up with you doesnt actually help them, it doesn't motivate, it doesn't encourage, it only discourages them. It breeds bitterness and apathy, which are antithetical to empathy.

Growth isn't something you do on your own. People need support, they need community. Bootstraps won't get them there. Kindness will. Do you want results or do you just want to feel superior?

[paxamericana]

[terminal-burrowing-deactivated2]

Mostly likely an RFID tag. A simple unpowered device that emits a signal when excited by an external magnetic field.

The fun part is that RFID chips are incredibly easy to break, and incredibly easy to clone/copy. Imagine buying your drink, then intentionally burning out the rfid chip with an extra-strong electromagnetic field and raising a stink because the machine won’t give you what you paid for. Free meal vouchers, maybe? Better yet if you can get behind the counter and burn out the chips on every cup at once.

You could also buy a cup, then scan and clone the RFID tag, and see what kind of system they’re using to keep track of what cups have refills left and which ones don’t. I’d bet money that it wouldn’t be complex or hard to reverse-engineer, and then it’s as simple as spoofing the correct information to the RFID chip reader at the drink dispenser, and you get 8000 refills for the next 99999 hours or whatever.

It’s shitty and dystopian when companies do stuff like this, but fortunately they usually do it in a very stupid way that’s easily exploitable if you have the right know-how and some tools.

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist

If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life

[theotheristhedoctor]

That was a near-religious experience

I made a gif of it for those of you who cant watch the video in your country. Or if you know you just want to stare at it mesmerized like me

the original video was not available for me but i found one that is and … whaaat

[spiderine]

here’s a good one of the whole segment

[chaoticqueerdisasterchild]

How did I grow up watching Mythbusters and yet I’m just seeing this for the first time??
