Bad Chinese Tattoos

dollsahoy

This blog hasn't been updated for years, but covers the same thing

Dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters in Western culture.

And there's a post explaining what a lot of the gibberish tattoos think they're doing--they think Chinese characters are directly equivalent to English letters and a lot of tattoo shops are using the same list to "spell" names

I love Jessie (the girl in the video). She has a compilation of a bunch of the tattoos on YouTube.

Is Quebec part of Latin America

I forget why exactly but one time I was on the Wikipedia page for "Latin America" and the map showed Quebec as part of it.

I'm not sure how Latin America is defined, is it by countries/places in the Americas which have been colonized by and speak a Romance (Latin based) language?

If it's by the previously established definition, then does Quebec, the majority French-speaking part of Canada, count as Latin America??

Is Quebec part of Latin America

Yes

No

Yes, technically

Yes but not in spirit

No because [other definition that I'd like to see in the comments]

Other [tell me in the comments]

Side note: Does Haiti count as a Latin American country? (I think this is also controversial but idk)

HOW IS MY SISTER STRAIGHT UP CARRYING A GUZHENG?????

drwcn

that sax is acting like we don't see him trying to blend in

For one minute… just one minute.

Close the game. Pause the movie. Mute the music. Forget the match. Sit with yourself and ask: If you were in our place… would you deserve to die? Would your children deserve this life?

We are here, in a place unseen by the world’s eyes, Living among rubble and tears,Between the sound of explosions and the cries of children.Our children do not know the meaning of play or safety, They only dream of a day they will not wake up to new terror.

We are human, like all humans, We have the right to live, to safety, to hope. Every donation, every word of support, every share…Is a message to us: You are not alone.

Four children, a father and a mother, are asking for your support. Can you donate even $5? And if you can’t, just share this post. It won’t hurt you to share, But losing your humanity… that will hurt you deeply.

Today in Gaza, 18 were killed, and no one heard about us. I went out to buy some food, and an explosion happened near my home. We see death and fear every day, and the war here has not stopped.💔

Every day there is bombing... every day there is killing... we are dying in silence... Please wake up. Please... share this, please... donate, please.

okay. listen. I try not to be pedantic about this sort of thing but it’s starting to get on my nerves. the wire mother offers milk but not comfort. the cloth mother offers comfort but not milk. if something is comforting, fun, or otherwise compelling, but lacks substance, that is the cloth mother. if something is boring or unpleasant but has substance, that is the wire mother.

things are heating up in the unethical experiments fandom

ghostly-harmless

nah nah hold on, let me get even more pedantic.

the big finding of the whole experiment was that both food and comfort are not just substantial, but required for healthy development. in the 50s the popular theory was that mothers should touch and hold their babies as little as possible to avoid “spoiling” them, especially right after birth (which explains uh. a lot about boomers as a generation).

Harlow conducted his experiment to investigate this idea, and he found that physical comfort nearly eclipsed the food as a need in the baby macaques. They would go to the wire mothers only when they were hungry, sometimes even trying to reach the milk bottles without letting go of the cloth mothers, because they so badly needed both. Harlow’s other experiments showed that being deprived of parental comfort and enrichment as babies dealt lasting psychological damage to the macaques. and today we know that human babies can just up and die without enough skin-to-skin contact.

so yeah, to highly social apes like us, comfort and fun are no less substantial than food, it’s just a question of how quickly it will kill you to go without it. do not deny yourself the cloth mother

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas
