one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

[visenyaism]

the worst part of this is that they’re on chess dot com instead of getting an education. but the BEST part of this is watching high schoolers develop the weirdest goddamn strategies I’ve ever seen. One of my students invented something he calls the “evil advisor gambit” where he gets a third person to give out constant terrible advice to both teams hoping that his opponent falls for it straight-up or that his opponent thinks HE fell for it and will act accordingly thus worsening their own strategy. he has won every game he has been able to pull off a coordinated evil advisor gambit in. this is chess innovation never before seen in its 700 years on earth

Given how humanity reacts to life in general, can we picture the INSANELY good memes that would have been made in the Martian universe while they tried to rescue Watney?

[home-and-having-tea]

Gotta do everything my damn self in this house smh

[home-and-having-tea]

On my Martian bullshit again

My man Mark would record a video discussing life in the Hab and talk about Lewis’s music, and proceed to give an example. Mark Watney would Rickroll the entire Internet from another planet.

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

[elsajeni]

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

[princessnijireiki]

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS”

[siderealsandman]

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

[kc749]

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.

Yeah this all checks out

[hamletteprinceofdenmark]

Like do you think this shit doesn’t influence you?! Do you think playing hours upon hours upon hours of Blood Libel: The Game (Magic Edition) where you are a Wizard Cop hunting down a targeted minority isn’t going to fuck with your head the teensiest, tiniest bit???

The whole FUCKING POINT is that this shit is antisemitic, pro cop propaganda wrapped up in a nice shiny nostalgic package so you don’t notice, and it goes directly into JKR’s pocket, meaning that it directly funds anti-trans legislation in the UK.

The more you talk about Harry Potter, the more you give her air time, the powerful she becomes, and that has real world consequences that directly affect the people around you.

Don’t give her your money.

Save your $70. Spend it on something else. Or better yet, donate it to Mermaids, which is one of the leading charities in the UK helping trans and non-binary youth.

more people would be for prison abolition if they just tried to send mail to an inmate even once

[muppethole-deactivated20240312]

for almost a year now i've been trying to send a copy of the literary magazine i edit to an inmate who requested one. his prison prohibits any written materials that so much as mention drugs, weapons, criminal activity, or malicious violence of any sort. i've been poring over what's available of the 95 volumes my magazine has printed over the years, and of those found 3 that might pass inspection. the first two were sent back undelivered two months after i sent them because one had a short story that alluded to a playground fight, and the other a poem that used the word "fist" in a nonviolent context. The third was returned for the stated reason that its contents depicted the use of firearms. i reread the entire issue, there's not a single gun mentioned in all its 120 pages.

while going back and forth with this guy trying to figure out how to get a copy of the magazine in his hands, two of my letters bounced back for unspecified reasons. i learned that inmates are not given their correspondents' original letters, but scanned copies, often poorly reproduced and sometimes illegible. these people aren't even granted the ink their loved ones used to pen their messages, or to hold in their hands the paper their loved ones held, if they're able to receive their words at all.

I’m not wrong though they are EASILY the sluttiest fruits. You don’t see Rosales pulling this shit. I mean yeah apples will breed weird new apples but nothing fucks around like citrus.

[mollyhats]

I think Batman is genuinely thrown any time someone he dates as Brucie Wayne is legitimately attracted to him because he’s acquired such a reputation among women as Gotham’s Most Prolific Beard that if a woman asks him out he assumes she’s a lesbian trying to keep the media from outing her.

I don’t have a canon basis for this I just think it’s neat.

[apopcornkernel]

#bruce: is respectful of boundries and never pushes his dates into anything #every closeted lesbian in a fifteen mile radius: back off this one is ours #like. bruces reaction to someone confessing tearfully they like girls is probably oh no way me too! #and just smiling self satisfied when they start giggling because nailed it. #like. imagine if bruce wayne was just this slightly awkward but sweet guy #its almost funnier if he didnt even do the playboy persona on purpose these nice ladies just kept asking him to parties so their parents would leave them alone #and suddenly bam everyone thinks brucie wayne is a useless playboy #he can work with this!
