Do you think the ring would have artfight? Like people making gruesome terrible art out of blood and bones and flesh and getting it graded for points and stuff.

as far as i see it all ring fights are artfight

[gravitysaint]

they do get them graded for points, it’s in pretty much every Ring ID’s uptie story

out of all the famous rapists that nobody talks abt the 1 thats annoying me the most rn is neil degrasse tyson did you know that when he was in graduate school for astronomy he drugged and raped the only other black student in the department & she ended up quitting the field ? if you look at her instagram 1 of her stories highlights is called sexual assault & she says she does miss being a scientist & working on her research project but that shes glad shes a musician now. shes also into some weird spirituality stuff which puts neils reddit atheist shtick into a whole new perspective ...... he has 3 more allegations under his belt btw & 2 of those women are scientists themselves & the other 1 quit working on his fucken astronomy documentary series bc of him like i genuinely do not understand how he still gets to call himself a science educator & brag abt how hes getting more people interested in astronomy when he keeps sexually assaulting scientists & 2 people have already quit the field because of him like explain it to me like im five

they keep making games bigger and worse optimized and call it improvement. they say, no, the price is totally justified, because our game has More Space and your PC can't run it, which means it's Future. meanwhile the space is too big to cross. the games are too long and too poorly paced to even finish. and it doesn't look materially better than anything that came out on the 360. as if anything has ever done as much or gone as hard in 100 hours as Portal did in three.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

Thanks for reading. <3

What if the trans girl doesn’t WANT to have broad shoulders? What if she doesn’t want to be tall? What if she doesn’t want to be fat? What if she wishes she could be small and skinny? That clothes shopping was easy for gender affirming clothes? That she could reliably shop for a pair of cute women’s shoes without having to deal with her giant feet? What if she doesn’t want body hair? What if armpit and bush hair made her dysphoric? What if she wishes she wasn’t clocky? What if she doesn’t want pride in that? Would you still love her then?

lcb ranked by how they would react to a restaurant staff singing them happy birthday in public

[gravitysaint]

i feel like dante would be too caught up trying to remember if this is their birthday to enjoy it to begin with maybe, but once past that i do agree they’d be happy about it

[cerastes]

So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?

Tragedy? Delicious.

A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.

A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.

Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.

Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

[valtsv]

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

[valtsv]

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

[gingik]

I did not "decide to become a girl" I was actively suppressing the "girly" desires and things to talk about before realizing I'm a girl due to the expectations that society placed on me

[beaft]

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

[beaft]

while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"

well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question

[beaft]

third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"

i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."

and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3

@luckyybones hope you don't mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct

reblog to give yourself a large fucking tail

[cherries-of-wrath]

GIVE. NOW.

[homunculus-argument]

New thought:

You can go back in time to visit one (1) historical person, and gift them one (1) animal as a pet. You don't concern yourself with whether or not it would be ethical to keep this animal as a pet, or how would they keep it at all, but the one requirement you have is that this animal does not naturally occur on their native continent. What are you giving, and to whom?

[homunculus-argument]

I think it would be hilarious to give one of these buggers to Sun Tzu. You now own a giant pinecone possessed with intelligence. The fuck are you going to do with that thing.

it’s sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”

And he was so astonished he didn’t even argue he just turned around and left 💀🙏🏻 it was like he suddenly became self aware

One summer I was running ferry rides across a lake so people could see the waterfalls without walking 6 miles when a guy snapped my bra strap as he was boarding the boat. So i immediately threw him off, he started yelling for my manager, my boss cheerfully informed him that, yeah, she’s the captain of the boat and she can kick off anyone she wants. He goes to storm off, looks expectantly at his girlfriend, and she just goes, “Well, I’M not walking six miles, Michael! I’ll meet you back at the car!” and sits right back down!!!!

The expression on his face when he was told that he couldn’t get on the boat, then immediately told that his girlfriend was ditching him? PRICELESS. he just blinked at her and then stormed off like a child. I gave her a free hat and was like maybe rethink this relationship…….

[hickeywiththegoodhair]

i once had this fucker come up to order a beer. while i pour it he shows me the wanky fucking chemical structure tattoo on his arm and he’s like “hey. you know what this is” i was like “nah sorry” (never cared abt chemistry in school, plus having to look at a some rando’s pretentious tattoo gives me the douche chills). he decides to respond with “heh. you must not read many books”

i immediately stop pouring his beer. i reply: “heh. you must not want this beer.” thirsty boy immediately starts groveling like a worm “please please no i do want the beer im sorry im sorry” believe me when i say it was one of the most pathetic things ive ever witnessed

[lezbadeez]

gotta love people immediately backpedaling when they realise that there are Consequences To Being Mean

[lastvalyrian]

I genuinely believe that part of why it has become so normalized to be openly callous and evil in politics is that customer service culture has trained affluent people that they can treat everyone they consider beneath them however they want and still be treated kindly.
