If Jason Voorhees was ten when he died, then how come he's so crazy hugelarge?

a.) He swelled up in Crystal Lake like one of those grow-your-own-dinosaurs.

b.) Hell has a Make-a-Wish program and he wished to be an eight foot slab of stab meat.

c.) Flintstones vitamins.

d.) He's wearing stilts.

e.) It's an optical illusion.

[c3rvida3]

Follow-Up Question: Why did ten-year-old Jason go to Hell?

1.) Never got baptized.

2.) Cussed to impress the big kids.

3.) Didn't finish his vegetables.

4.) Said he cleaned his room but really did that thing where you just shove everything in the closet and shut the door so your mom can't see.

5.) Turns out not knowing how to swim is a sin.

Hi! I’m really interested in horror movies, especially the slasher genre, so I’m just gonna clear this up because I know not everyone is really well-versed in the Friday the 13th lore: Jason Voorhees is so large because he is very big. And the answer to your follow-up question is “yes”. Hope this helps :)

this is oddly close to real ‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’ so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunk

this implies that ‘bastard’ is someone who is too ‘bast’ and this needs experimentation and research

[sistertaxon]

Are you fucking serious omg

[necromancy-savant]

This is pretty much correct. According to the OED bastard is from Old French and the bast- part means “pack saddle” which was used as a bed by mule drivers, giving the phrase fils de bast, a child conceived on the pack saddle instead of the marriage bed. In English it becomes bastard, the -ard being a pejorative. It is the same one as wizard and coward and drunkard.

Seriously though, stop using shmoogle and stop using chlome, THEY ARE SELLING YOUR DATA

Take less than 15 minutes to switch to Firefox and Duck Duck Go and save your ass for when any company and/or government decides they want you as they’re next victim

[anarchopuppy]

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger, so having both is redundant and they might have some unintended interactions. Either one is good

I’ve got lots of privacy resources in my infosec tag

[msspookypickles]

I have Duck Duck Go on all my devices. HOWEVER, one thing they haven’t mastered yet is detecting the language of a query (which is not a problem if you are monolingual in english). So you might still have to default to shmoogle for certain things if you search for things in two or more languages. …Unless there’s a fix I don’t know about…?

Thought: I do NOT think that 50% of the world’s billionaires should be women. I think there shouldn’t be any billionaires at all.

[cranberrybogmummy]

So you are saying 0% of the world should be billionaires?

[fandomsandfeminism]

Yes.

[caosdth]

Why shouldn’t their be billionaires? That makes no sense.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm.  That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and  it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty.  

Better then to create a wealth ceiling, a point at which all wealth over a certain point  is taxed at or very near 100% to incentivize people to actually spend their money rather than hoard it, stimulating the economy and bettering the lives of far more people. Better even still to create and regulate economic systems that protect workers and the environment in a way that such extreme levels of wealth accumulation aren’t even feasible. 

[aflawedmind]

The problem with this is that it reduces the incentive to actually do fiscally well. What’s the point of starting a business if you can’t become wealthy?

[fandomsandfeminism]

There is a very real difference between “reasonably wealthy” and A BILLIONAIRE

[twodotsknowwhy]

No one is saying you shouldn’t have a nice house, we are saying that having multiple really, really ridiculously nice houses while your employees are either homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless is immoral.

[whenandwhereienter]

I’ll never understand why this concept is hard for people. I think it’s because they can’t actually fathom how much $1 Billion is.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Seriously.

Let’s say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.

It would take you 4,167 years to make a billion dollars.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Keep in mind then, that if you got paid $1000 an hour, 10 hours a day, five days a week, every week, all year, it would still take over 400 years to make a billion.

You want to make one billion in a human lifetime? If you made $10,000 an HOUR, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week, all year, it would take you 41 years to hit a billion.

(And that’s not counting, ya know, money you spend to stay alive on food or rent or anything. )

Jeff Bezos currently has 140 billion dollars.

[bando--grand-scamyon]

$10,000 an HOUR while most of us barely making $12. Can y’all conceptualize now?

[glizzygaymer]

Will always reblog

[randomslasher]

Because this is still a difficult set of numbers for some folks to comprehend (legitimately–our brains have a hard time conceptualizing big numbers) a really good example I like to use is the difference between a million and a billion in time.

1 million seconds is approximately 11 days. 

1 billion seconds is just shy of 32 years.
