This is just The Magnus Institute.

Nope.

They have a gas-based firefighting system instead of sprinklers for obvious reasons. It does lower the percentage of oxygen in the building, but not enough to kill anyone.

I found this by googling “Yale library fire oxygen.” It was literally the first result.

Fact-checking is your friend.

[crazyintheeast]

It’s true. It’s not the fire suppression system that kills you. The Librarians come and personally murder you for starting a fire in a library. But you didn’t start a fire you say? No matter. You are collateral damage. Everybody gets killed to show that arsonists have no chance of escaping justice

How do you absolutely hate everything you’ve seen from the LotR series especially today but also make it clear to the racists that you are absolutely not with them

Like fuck I want to support this purely bc they’re bitching that the diverse casting is ruining it, but so far the diversity is the only thing here that ISN’T a mistake

Also get these super gendered outfits and workplace acceptable short male hair the fuck away from my androgynous elves

That is some Wild West bullshit, I love it, that is fantastic.

I love this very much because this chair looks like it could make its own curb cut if one wasn’t provided.

I’m always saying ignore the prostheses and make cooler badass chairs for people

[catboybreeder]

[raptorific]

funniest thing would be if when Queen Elizabeth dies or steps down and Charles is all ready to assume the throne, here comes King Arthur, Excalibur in hand, sauntering back from Avalon like “oof what a nap! thanks for keeping the chair warm I’m back to be king again”

[raptorific]

like, given that “King Arthur isn’t actually dead, he’ll be back to be King again someday” is, like, an actual aspect of the legend and a thing that a lot of people purport to believe, has anyone ever actually tried it? showing up to buckingham palace claiming to be Arthur Pendragon, The Once And Future King, and assume the throne? does the british government have a protocol for checking whether someone claiming to be King Arthur actually is? does parliament have a secret picture of the Real Excalibur kept under lock and key, only viewed if someone claims to be King Arthur, that they can use to confirm or refute the identity of alleged Kings Arthur? if not, how do they deter every jackass with a sward from pretending to be him? does filing a false King Arthur report constitute treason?

[lunetta-suzie-jewel]

The rules are simple. “Arthur” has to show up with a sword. They give the sword to the Lady of the Lake, and if she throws it back to the claimant, he’s legit and gets to be king again.

[pargolettasworld]

So the test for King Arthur’s identity falls to the even less officially identifiable Lady of the Lake.  No one can even agree on which Lady, or which lake, is the official one, much less how to tell if you’ve got The Lady of The Lake.  All of which suggests that all you need to accomplish this is one (1) sword, a willing female acquaintance, and a nearby body of water. 

There isn’t even any requirement for “Arthur” to catch the sword, so the Lady can just javelin an epee right at him.

[lunetta-suzie-jewel]

Well when you look at it that way, one might conclude that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

deeply obsessed w this radfem post literally just going “feminism is when i make fun of fat people” and acting like this is like, saying anything other than just weirdly admitting your idea of feminism is reliving when you bullied people in high school

butch lesbians are under such a bizarre fucking microscope on this site with ppl analyzing their every move debating if it’s gender nonconforming enough or not like i really have three messages in my inbox rn telling me i’m not butch because i like cooking which is apparently feminine just shut up you clowns

[medusas-trophy-wife-deactivated]

*prepares food once and is immediately transformed into a 1950s housewife*

[medusas-trophy-wife-deactivated]

i’m a butch lesbian not a cishet man lol i’m not going to eschew or despise basic life skills just to live up to an unhealthy idea of heteronormative masculinity. what next? y’all gonna get mad at butches for bathing regularly lmao

[medusas-trophy-wife-deactivated]

I swear this is my last addition to this but this shit is in the same vein as weirdos on here trying to revoke our butch cards or whatever when we’re sensitive and open about our emotions because so many of y’all think butch masculinity is a direct imitation of cishet men when it’s never been that. it’s no wonder so many of y’all think butches are scary and toxic without ever having really known one when the second we deviate from heteronormative masculine ideals you flip ur collective shit because this whole time you’ve just been viewing us as pale imitations of straight men

[thatdisasterauthor]

I don’t think we talk enough about how, despite the presence of multiple globes, PotC takes place on a flat earth, ice wall included.

[patrickdiomedes]

I'm gonna need some elaboration here

[thatdisasterauthor]

They literally sail over the edge of it after passing through a hole in a wall of ice. They fall off. They get back to the other side by passing through the whole ocean.

But also there’s a globe on, like, everyone’s desk.

[andthentheywilleatthestars]

#it's like lord of the rings#it's only flat for pirates

[thatdisasterauthor]

You get it.

[finalvortex]

No, but this is actually (sort of) canon.

See, part of the conceit of the PotC trilogy is that all myths are true. Nearly every supernatural element in the franchise has a root in some real world mythology or pirate lore, although some of them are mashed together.

Another thing is that they take place at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, and the more the map gets filled in, and the more the Royal Navy takes power, there less room there is for the mystical and supernatural in the world. This is explicitly called out in At World's End with the death of the kraken:

Barbossa: The world used to be a bigger place. Jack: The world's still the same. There's just... less in it.

The only way to access the world of the supernatural is through the supernatural itself. You can only get to the Isla de Muerta with Jack's compass that points to whatever you desire, or if you already know where its is. You need Tia Dalma's map to find the edge of the world. To access the supernatural, you need to already be immersed in it.

The pirates world isn't flat, it's round - but because the edge of the world exists in myth, it therefore exists in reality. The pirates are able to find it through supernatural means, but if, say, someone like Norrington just sailed in the same general direction, he wouldn't end up in the same place.

when will they make euphoria for girls who were depressed and never went outside and also never had sex in secondary school and were just obsessed with weird niche subjects

[anarchapella]

Please I beg some of you to just get comfortable with just disliking people for no reason. Like it’s okay to just not like someone. It’s okay to just think someone is annoying or whatever. You really don’t have to try to validate it with like anything. They can be perfectly unproblematic and you can still not like them. And that’s okay.

[anarchapella]

This post is about not trying to justify why you dislike someone by trying to make them out to be a bad person like “I’m an empath and I just know something is off” or trying to dig up dirt on them to try to validate your “gut instincts”. Like it’s okay to just be like “I don’t like them” and move on with your life.

pandemic episode of malcolm in the middle: malcolm struggles to reconcile his commitment to quarantine safety measures with the fact that all the girls his age are so lonely and isolated that they're suddenly willing to go on dates with HIM, of all people. reese discovers that egging neighbors' houses still counts as a "socially-distanced" activity and has the time of his life. dewey does some mental calculus and realizes that he gets fewer wedgies per day from his brothers than he does from the school bully and decides he'll keep these lockdowns in effect at all costs, so he starts calling in fake pandemic data to local health districts to bump the numbers up. lois gets in a physical altercation with a non-masker at the lucky aide and starts duct taping people's mouths shut, which craig finds both alarming and oddly alluring. (craig then immediately gets infected from licking his hand to slick back his hair in a bid to impress her.) hal works from home but, after slacking off on the family computer all day, is driven to obsession by the thought of becoming the digital solitaire world champion.

[knafeh-zarafa]

Hal makes it to the finals of an online tournament and is moments away from winning the $100,000 prize but at the last second one of Reese's wayward eggs causes a neighborhood wide power outage. The episode ends with Hal wailing with anguish in the pitch black house.

[exeggcute]

thirty thousand notes and this is the only good addition anyone has made. you understand malcolm in the middle.

when people try to make their (shallow at best) feminism sound inclusive to nonbinary people but accidentally let slip their prejudices in the process. "men aren't pretty, women and nonbinary people are pretty." "fuck men, I only like women and nonbinary people." and ofc the classic "safe space for women and nonbinary people, no men allowed." like damn that's crazy. can't wait until you find out about nonbinary men too though 😑. or, can't wait until you find out about masculine nonbinary people in general tbh, cause I know they're not who u have in mind with these statements. by choice and not there's nonbinary people out there who look and present exactly how u imagine binary men do, of all ages, and maybe you need to wrap your cute little head around that before even attempting to speak on "nonbinary rights" or whatever.

[satanfemme]

like, if ur including 18 yr old she/they demigirls who don't want to go on T but always wear pronoun pins in your activism, that's great. but if you want to speak on nonbinary people as a whole group, you're also speaking on 30-something year old he/him men who're already balding, who have full beards, who are stealth as cis men (if not cishet men) in their workplaces, who aren't twink-y and who might not own a single piece of make-up, and who may or may not be physically transitioning. And when they say they're nonbinary they're just as nonbinary as the first example I gave.

this is why "men vs non-men" doesn't work. some people are both. some people aren't both, but by your prejudice standards might cross the line. ffs some nonbinary people are a woman and ALSO a man. there is no secondary binary you can salvage out of this. and if you don't reframe your nonbinary activism to include these people and support these people too, you are a bad activist and frankly being transphobic -- not only towards masculine nonbinary people, but also towards the feminine/androgynous nonbinary people who you're not so subtly trying to simplify to "woman-lite".

[1d-afterparty]

Imagine thousands of of students, parents and teachers saying that having accredited grades reduced stress, improved mental health and was an overall better option then the normal system which has been negativity criticized for years only to look at the classes of 2022 and tell them they won't the same option as this year knowing that they had some of their 5th year disrupted.

[princesskuragina]

So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story

[princesskuragina]

And ALSO this pattern comes with a tendency to oversimplify what makes the m/m relationships compelling in the first place. Nick is obsessed with Gatsby, and enthralled by his life, and his wealth, and horrified by his single-minded obsession, and unable to look away, to stop himself from being complicit. In the depths of his paranoia, Horatio is the only person Hamlet seems to trust implicitly to tell him the truth, and eventually, to retell the truth of his life to others. These are JUICY dynamics and they are not at all served by the impulse to turn a tragedy into a love story with no more substance than "these problems could be solved if they just got gay married"
