I felt so vindicated when that study on period blood loss that used ACTUAL blood instead of water came out and confirmed that women bleed a lot more than we were previously told because I had BEEN saying that the amount that was showed in studies was absolutely incorrect for years. My old doctor was like "I'm sure it feels like it's a lot more than that, but it's only about two tablespoons a day!" As if I wasn't filling up three overnight pads a day and still bleeding through and somehow getting it all over my underwear. I lose like 8 ounces on day two alone, fuck all of these people who do jank ass studies you can't trust any of these men in the labs

A public health researcher I know had an informant who was recording the contents of her diva cup every cycle and when she brought the data to her doctor he was like "that's not true". 🙃

i was looking everywhere in the car for my vape because i lost it and I found these instead

[indiecup--fordeactivation-deact]

I’m astounded at the level of personality that can be predicted from the word vape and these glasses.

[turing-tested]

this is the meanest thing anyone’s ever said to me in my entire life but I can’t even argue with this. what could I possibly say to defend myself in this instance. this was a one hit KO. this was a murder. this was a fucking slaughter and I have only myself to blame

[cassidy-peterson]

You act like people knowing you’re in the Squirtle Squad is a bad thing?

[turing-tested]

yes that is exactly where these glasses are from. a perfectly respectable long standing anime and nothing more

"the only difference between a cult and a religion is the scale"

NO. NO IT ISN'T. THIS IS WHAT THE CULTS WANT YOU TO THINK IT IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE RELIGIONS THAT ARE NOT CULTS AND CULTS THAT ARE NOT RELIGIOUS AND YOU MUST LEARN THE DIFFERENCE

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it

[autisticlittleguy]

Ok yeah fish is a better analogy for radiation here. Like theres hundreds of super piranhas poking holes in his ship and hes skittering around constantly patching the holes and rocky is like whats a fish. How dare you make a better analpgy than me on my own post

I took a bus to a conference today and the bus driver fully stopped the bus to identify and chastise a person who was playing music out loud on their phone. That is how you get me to actually complete the customer service survey specifically so I can give you top ratings

[ploobytumbls]

It's days later and I'm still thinking about this man. Full ass bus pulled over to the side of a state highway with the hazards on, stalking down the center aisle intoning "ALL RIGHT. WHO'S GOT IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ON SPEAKER." I want to commission a statue of him. a hero. a king.

I’m reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, and I’ve really got to hand it to Burke: the main character is incredibly fucking hateable.

Like hats off to her. It’s a skill to write someone so repugnant but also make it compelling enough to make you want to keep reading.

i feel like game piracy is sometimes viewed as this massive disruption to the game industry and not just “a small group of people who weren’t going to buy a game anyways now have it on their computer.” when companies report “losses” due to piracy that’s fake. that’s a fake number because no money was actually ever exchanged and companies cannot possibly know how many people actually pirated their game. piracy does not work like this

I don’t agree with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on many things. Anything, really. Except for his virulent hatred of 19th century Mormons. We share that.

[byjove]

IT JUST KEPT GOING AND GOING! It was the first Sherlock Holmes story I read because I wanted to read them chronologically by publish date and I was like “Oh. Why is this suddenly a western borderline horror novella about the evils of Mormonism on the American frontier? Are all SH stories going to have this sudden narrative piece in the middle?” AND NO. ACD WAS JUST VERY FIRED UP ABOUT MORMONISM.

Peter using gen z slang is so funny bc I just know Tony has no clue what he’s talking about like

Peter, on comms during a mission: Chat are you seeing this? I fear I’m cooked. Should I just kms for real

Tony: WHAT the FUCK are you saying

Bonus— Peter grew up with Uncle Ben and a total nerd, so he also says words like “radical” and “wicked” unironically and Tony is left baffled, wondering what century this kid is even from

[pixi--dust]

What if the other Avengers think it’s funny so they make it worse by teaching him more slang. I love the idea of Peter just collecting slang.
