I need to talk about the fact that Bucky’s still got his right hand 100% free and could be punching Spider Man into next Tuesday already. But he still stood frozen, looking shocked as all fucks and lemme tell you right now that that was not because someone’s managed to block his metal fist because lbr the metal arm was never unstoppable before, especially when super-enhanced/-equipped people are involved – so basically he doesn’t take that punch cus he’s actually just now able to hear the other guy’s voice and it clicks that this is just a fucking k i d

also re: teens sitting around with their tablets and smartphones

like, if a kid can access the internet (with some privacy still) while also sitting in the same room as their parents, honestly that’s better and more social than what I did as a teenager, which was hole up in my room at my desktop computer that I couldn’t move anywhere else in the house

mostly what I see from the teens in my family is they will sit and scroll through their phone, but if something interesting starts happening, or a new person enters the room, or they see something cool they want to share, they look up and interact again, because they’re sitting right there with everyone else.

that is waaaay more social than 2002 me, hunched over my desktop for hours and only seeing my mom in passing when I went to microwave a burrito at 1am. way, way more social.

[feministess]

My whole family does this now. We’re all in the same room, but each on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Certain poop heads will shake their heads at how technology is dividing us.

But

Like

What do they think families have done for since ever? Talk constantly while playing educational board games every evening? No.

They’d each be reading, or sewing, or writing letters or some shit, and mostly sat quietly near each other but not bothering each other.

[elfstaranymore]

yes this

It reminds me of the whole “omg people on trains used to TALK to each other” argument. No, they didn’t. They read the newspaper or stared straight ahead avoiding eye contact.

[tinyhatonapumpkin]

People have been finding reasons not to talk to each other for centuries.

They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.

[journalistpeterparker-deactivat]

Isn’t Mt. Rushmore sacred to native peoples? Kinda fucked up we put their killers faces on it

[weavemama]

Yes. Before the sculptures were built, the land was sacredly owned by indigenous tribes. In 1980, the land was illegally taken away from them by the supreme court. Not to mention, one of the main people who manufactured the sculptures was literally apart of the KKK… So yeah.. they are more than welcome to flip off these so called “masterpieces” 

[snowie-skyes]

Anyone know if this is true of false?

i know a guy who’s bought in entirely to microsoft’s ecosystem. he’s got a windows 10 computer, windows phone, uses microsoft edge, and has bing as his main search engine. he refers to looking things up on the internet as ‘binging’ it. very surreal, never met anyone else like that

[carbink]

that was the devil

[glumshoe]

I’ve got insomnia and struggle to fall asleep at night in my own bed - I require heavy blankets, specific textures, complete darkness, and multiple pillows to even begin to be comfortable enough to drift off.

Put me in a room full of friends, though, and I instantly pass out face down on the floor, draped over an ottoman with my arms and legs hanging over either side, or slung across the back of a couch in a tangle of my own limbs.

[pipistrellus]

Omfg your arms

[glumshoe]

Whenever I fall asleep in the car with my hands above my head, I wake up and my arms are asleep and I spent a solid 15 seconds panicking while I try to move and alien limbs slap me in the face.

Dad joke of the day:

Q: what’s the difference between a tuna, a piano, and a bowl of glue?

A: you can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish

[orderly-opaline-deactivated2020]

What about the glue?

[thebaagelboy]

I knew you’d get stuck on that

[orderly-opaline-deactivated2020]

I WALKE RIGHT INTO IT DAMMIT

[thebaagelboy]

Aw that’s alright it was a sticky situation from the start

[orderly-opaline-deactivated2020]

IM TOO DISCOMBOBULATED TO THINK OF A WITTY PUN COMEBACK RIGHT NOW

[thebaagelboy]

….so you could say you’re…stuck? That’s ok once you unstick yourself I’m sure you’ll think of something

[orderly-opaline-deactivated2020]

I promise I’ll come up with one. And I always stick to my word!

[thebaagelboy]

[ejacutastic]

legitimately it’s such a weird and sketchy practice that people at bachelor/ette parties have strippers or encourage the bride/groom to do sexual stuff with other people like before they get married to someone they love and just straight people are weird

[systlin]

My husband and his friends just got together at our house and played Guitar Hero and drank beer and they all congratulated him. I think he got drunk and invented Sword Golf that night. When I got home from work they all said “Hi! We got your man drunk! Take a guitar we’re doing “Through the fire and flames” and we need someone with good finger dexterity on guitar, his got wrecked by the tequila shots.“

And honestly that is the kind of bachelor party I can get behind.

[just-a-geekygoth]

okay that is cute as fuck. I’m sort of afraid to know what Sword Golf is but I’m also massively curious.

[systlin]

It’s where you hit golf balls into the corn field but you use swords instead of golf clubs.

as of yesterday, 13th February 2018, he has passed away at 103 years of age 😢

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

I feel quite certain he will be canonized as an Orthodox saint in time. Blessed Dobri, pray for us!

Update: Sauron is not afraid of hobbits. He was unaware that hobbits existed up until very recently.  he literally did not have time to be afraid of them, they went from a 0 to 100 threat level in twenty seconds. There he was, minding his own business worrying about the usual Elves and Men when suddenly these kids are on his lawn and now he’s dead, like just; 

What did— who– 

did I just get one-shotted by an infant how is this occurring 

[val-ritz]

Honestly I have to love this whole thought process that the Fellowship must have cultivated in Sauron, like…

“These children have found the Ring! But they’re taking it to the elves, of course. I will simply have to catch them on the way.”

“Well, the elves are still not to be trifled with, it seems. It looks as though they have a group of intrepid heroes, how cute! Wait, who’s leading them? Aw, hell.”

“OKAY! Olorin’s out of the way, and now I can finally kill them all and reclaim the- OH DAMMIT, IT’S IN LOTHLORIEN.”

“Well, okay. They’ve taken it onward. Curunir says one of the halflings is still carrying the ring, so he’s going to capture them and we’ll see how this develops. Thankfully Olorin’s still out of the picture and their little group just shattered into pieces, so that’s one less thing to worry about.”

“Aaaaaand Curunir shat the bed. Excellent. Trees, who would have thought? Okay, so we’re back to plan A: conquer Gondor, because if the Ring’s going to be anywhere, it’ll be there.”

“Wait, who’s on the– Isildur’s WHAT? Ohhhh. Ohohoho. Oh now everything makes sense. Isildur’s Heir is back, and he’s here being all prideful again. That’s fine. Really. I’ll just crush him and his kingdom, and then nobody can stop me!”

“WHAT? FUCKING WHAT? THEY SENT HIM BACK? Ugh, alright, alright, I’m cool, I’m fine. He’s still got that stupid wizard costume on, and I’m still stronger than he ever was. It’s not like he can come toe to toe with me, even if he does have an army behind him. This’ll be fine.”

“They’re… actually marching on the Black Gate? Sweet lord, I didn’t think they’d actually do it! This is perfect, everyone’s right here! Olorin, the human princeling, most of the remaining fighting forces of Men, all I have to do is kill them now and– Wait. Someone just put on the Ring. Someone just– That’s a halfling. They’re inside the mouNTAIN OH GOD NAZGUL GO GO G–”
