Judging from The campaign I run made up of me a gay male dm and 6 lesbians I cannot disagree

[the-void-dragons]

This guy’s dnd campaign in a nutshell:

[gothicprep]

asking for straight pride is like asking for able bodied parking spaces

[123deletingdarling-deactivated2]

thats a really good comparison because there are about seventy able bodied parking spaces to one disabled and able bodied people still insist on using the ones that arent theirs

[chaseross]

this is seriously a great post

Charles Sumner: Jesus Christ, you know?You do your best. You try to serve the people and then they just fuck you over. And you know why? Because they’re ignorant and they’re dumb as shit.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is democracy.

ppl: idk man... adhd is? not real? like I don't think it's an actual disorder because all doctors wanna do is give kids drugs so they shut up? it's really toxic and not real.

adhd ppl: that wasnt our fault. medicine companies paid off doctors to prescribe brand name meds back in the day, and greedy asshole doctors would misdiagnosed kids to get money out of it. we still exist.

ppl: okay but like... adults can't really have adhd. you grow out of it right? so you're probably faking it anyway.

adhd ppl: not everyone "grows out of it" and by "growing out if it" they mean "getting older and learning more self control over the more obvious symptoms like hyperactivity" not "I am cured my mental illness is gone"

ppl: but like, you just need to get organized! put up sticky notes and stuff. if you do that there is no way you can forget. why would you not do something when you know it needs to be done.

adhd ppl: executive dysfunction is a symptom of adhd, and often times adhd facilitates a childhood that promotes other disorders such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. a lot of adhd children are abused for being "too rambunctious" or for "not trying hard enough" and this contributes to self-loathing and suicidal tendencies. it's also unlikely for simple notes to help because the exdys makes us procrastinate. it's not simply a problem of remembering.

ppl: okay but like you should just get meds if you want to feel better!

adhd ppl: a lot of adhd medications are high powered stimulants and can often be too hard for people to take. some adhders don't want to take meds bc it makes them feel out of place, or takes away some of the benefits that they've basically built their lives around. not to mention, because neurotypical people buy and sell our medications illegally, we're often made to go through expensive testing over and over just to "make sure" we need them. we also have to have this information if we want to have accommodations made at work or at school.

ppl: well you act so childish all the time! it's time to grow up and face the real world. don't use your illness as an excuse :) sweaty.

adhd ppl: adhders develop about a year slower than their peers. we also need to stim, have special interests, have a hard time reading big walls of text, often have audio processing and memory problems. these are real things and we need to be taken seriously. we are "grown up". we are grown ups with adhd.

ppl: lol whatever my cousin is autistic and those are things THEY do so you're just appropriating them you ableist faker.

[commander-ledi]

seriously nothing is worse than being gifted and having adhd because its.. all fucking locked away and unusable in my shit brain. its like having massive box of money thats fucking locked and everyone fucking keeps reminding u how fucking rich you would be if u just opened the fucking box

“I have to tell you, if there’s one thing to which I have an aversion, it’s shellfish, and I couldn’t bring myself—even for a film—to put that claw in my mouth. Preston Black, the director, asked me to just lick the claw, but I couldn’t. He finally had the prop man duplicate the claw out of sugar and food coloring and had me nibble on it as though I was enjoying it. I was still very wary during the scene. I was afraid they had coated the real shell with sugar and that that awful claw was underneath. I chewed that claw during the scene, but if you’ll notice, I did it very gingerly. In the meantime, Curly was still chewing on the shell, which was cutting the inside of his mouth.” - Moe Howard

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Almost every single Liberal and Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) in Canada’s Parliament voted against this motion about addressing climate change and renewable energy by the NDP.

Text of the motion:

That in the opinion of the House, being a global climate change leader and building a clean energy economy means:

(a) investing in clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal as well as investing in energy efficient technologies that create good quality, long-lasting jobs for today’s workers and future generations;

(b) putting workers and skills training at the heart of the transition to a clean energy economy so workers don’t have to choose between a good job and a healthy environment for themselves and their families; and

© not spending billions of public dollars on increasingly obsolete fossil fuel infrastructure and subsidies that increase greenhouse gas emissions and pollution and put Canadians’ health and Canada’s environment, coastlines, waterways, and wildlife, as well as Canada’s marine and tourism jobs at risk.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

If we ever want Canada to take Climate Change and Renewable Energy seriously we need to elect a LOT MORE NDP and Green MP’s.

Liberals are half-assing it on environmental issues and Conservatives don’t even seem to care if the world their children inhabits will be habitable or not.

There’s another story that I like about a Chinese general who had to defend a city with only a handful of soldiers from a huge enemy horde that was in all likelihood going to steamroll the place flat within hours of showing up.

So when said horde did arrive, they saw the general sitting outside the city’s open gates, drinking tea. The horde sent a couple of emissaries over to see what was what, and the general greeted them cheerfully and invited them all to come and take tea with him.

The horde decided that this was a scenario that had “MASSIVE FUCKING TRAP” written all over it in beautiful calligraphy and promptly fucked off.

Whoever that general was, he was clearly the Ancient Chinese equivalent of Sam Vimes.

did he just invite us over for tea nah man i’m out

I fucking love history.

[konec0]

ok but tbh that story misses a lot of the subtlety of the situation like ok

so this story is the Romance of Three Kingdoms, and essentially takes place between Zhuge Liang, resident tactician extraordinaire, and Sima Yi… OTHER resident tactician extraordinaire.

The two were both regarded as tactical geniuses and recognized the other as their rival. Zhuge Liang had a reputation for ambushing the SHIT out of his opponents and using the environment to his advantage, thus destroying large armies with a small number of men. Sima Yi (who kind of entered the picture later) was a cautious person whose speciality was unravelling his opponent’s plans before they began. So it was natural that the two would butt heads; however, since Sima Yi tended to have more men and resources, he started winning battles against the former. Which, y’know, kinda sucked.

On to the actual story: Zhuge Liang is all like “shit i gotta defend this city with like 10 men.” Literally if he fights ANY kind of battle here, he WILL lose; his only option for survival is not to fight. And that’s looking more and more impossible until he hears that his rival is leading the opposing army. And then he gets this brilliant idea. He basically opens all the gates, sends his men out in civilian clothes to sweep the streets, and sits on top of the gate drinking tea and chilling out and basically makes the whole thing out to be a trap

When Sima Yi comes he’s all like “yo come on in bro”

and Sima Yi is like “yeah he’s never been that obvious about his traps before. this is definitely a bluff” and he’s about to head in when he realizes

wait. he knows that i think he’s bluffing.

and so he gets it in his head that maybe, just MAYBE, Zhuge Liang has this cunning plan that will wipe out his army - recall that he has a pretty good handle on what his rival is capable of. And after a long period of deliberation (which is just like “he know that I know that he knows that etc.”), being the cautious man he is, SIma Yi eventually decides to turn his entire army around and leave.

Zhuge Liang later points out that the plan was based specifically on the fact that he was facing his rival; if it had been anyone else, there’s no way it would have worked. A dumber or less cautious person would have simply charged in and won without breaking a sweat. 

and that’s the real genius here: it was a plan formed entirely just to deceive one man, and it worked.

[uovoc]

Zhuge Liang is the most brilliant, sneaky-ass bastard in history. One time his side’s army was out of arrows, which pretty much meant they were screwed. So Zhuge Liang goes and does the logical thing, which is build a fuck ton of scarecrows and put them all on boats. Then he makes the men hide in the boats and sail them out on the river.

Well, that day was super foggy (which Zhuge Liang had predicted. Did I mention he was also a freakishly accurate meteorologist?). So the enemy across the river sees a fleet of boats armed to the teeth with what appears to be half an army of men. They panic! and start firing arrows like crazy. 

Zhuge Liang lets this play out for a while, then he’s like, ”Ok guys that’s enough.” They calmly turn the boats around and go back to base, where they dismantle the scarecrows and pull out all the enemy’s arrows.

Zhuge Liang is legend.

I love this post. It just keeps getting better. Like seriously, I would have adored learning about this in World History.
