Now THAT was a chapter!
As always, the Irish speak nothing but facts.
How many more innocent civilians have to be killed by Israel before you condemn that for it?
That is a genocide.
That this is a crime on all accounts.
And deserves to be punished to the full extent off the law.
why are you, as a man, showing up early for work?
âRise and grind?â What are you grinding on? Cock?
early bird gets the "worm?"
Maybe a little too eager to please your manager⌠hoping for something more?
ohh... you're a hustler, eh?
what do you even need all that money for? to take men on dates?
âjust thought iâd come in earlyâ come in what? another man?

Icarus knew how it would end. He flew at the sun anyway. He knew what the fall would do to him in the end. He also knew it was worth it to try, just to touch the sun once, if only once.

Iâm????
Oh my God this actually explains so much.
So thereâs a known thing in the study of human psychology/sociology/what-have-you where men are known to, on average, rely entirely on their female romantic partner for emotional support. Bonding with other men is done at a more superficial level involving fun group activities and conversations about general subjects but rarely involves actually leaning on other men or being really honest about emotional problems. Men use alcohol to be able to lower their inhibitions enough to expose themselves emotionally to other men, but if you canât get emotional support unless youâre drunk, you have a problem.
So men need to have a woman in their lives to have anyone they can share their emotional needs and vulnerabilities with. However, since women are not socialized to fear sharing these things, womenâs friendships with other women are heavily based on emotional support. If you canât lean on her when youâre weak, sheâs not your friend. To women, what friendship is is someone who listens to all your problems and keeps you company.
So this disconnect men are suffering from is that they think that only a person who is having sex with you will share their emotions and expect support. Thatâs what a romantic partner does. But women think thatâs what a friend does. So women do it for their romantic partners and their friends and expect a male friend to do it for them the same as a female friend would. This fools the male friend into thinking there must be something romantic there when there is not.
This here is an example of patriarchy hurting everyone. Women have a much healthier approach to emotional support â they donât die when widowed at nearly the rate that widowers die and they donât suffer emotionally from divorce nearly as much even though they suffer much more financially, and this is because women donât put all their emotional needs on one person. Women have a support network of other women. But men are trained to never share their emotions except with their wife or girlfriend, because that isnât manly. So when she dies or leaves them, they have no one to turn to to help with the grief, causing higher rates of death, depression, alcoholism and general awfulness upon losing a romantic partner.Â
So men suffer terribly from being trained in this way. But women suffer in that they canât reach out to male friends for basic friendship. I am not sure any man can comprehend how heartbreaking it is to realize that a guy you thought was your friend was really just trying to get into your pants. Friendship is real. Itâs emotional, itâs important to us. We lean on our friends. Knowing that your friend was secretly seething with resentment when you were opening up to him and sharing your problems because he felt like he shouldnât have to do that kind of emotional work for anyone not having sex with him, and he felt used by you for that reason, is horrible. And the fact that men canât share emotional needs with other men means that lots of men who canât get a girlfriend end up turning into horrible misogynistic people who think the world owes them the love of a woman, like itâs a commodity⌠because no one will die without sex. Masturbation exists. But people will die or suffer deep emotional trauma from having no one they can lean on emotionally. And men who are suffering deep emotional trauma, and have been trained to channel their personal trauma into rage because they canât share it, become mass shooters, or rapists, or simply horrible misogynists.
The only way to fix this is to teach boys itâs okay to love your friends. Itâs okay to share your needs and your problems with your friends. Itâs okay to lean on your friends, to hug your friends, to be weak with your friends. Only if this is okay for boys to do with their male friends can this problem be resolved⌠so men, this oneâs on you. Women canât fix this for you; you donât listen to us about matters of what it means to be a man. Fix your own shit and teach your brothers and sons and friends that this is okay, or everyone suffers.
The next time a guy says, âWhat? You don't want to be my friend?â Iâll text him this and then ask if he really wants to be friends or just have another potential girlfriend.
yâall I am living for these analyses where the new way to fight the patriarchy is to teach men to love each other and themselves
Im a communication student and can confirm the above is absolutely 100% accurate and itâs called agentic vs communal friendship theorized by Steven McCornack
This is absolutely un-not-reblogable.
i have seen catgirls in real life.
where
haha yeah ok, heres all the catgirl locations i know. heres bigfoots cell number to top it off. get lost buddy, i will never reveal where catgirls are.
i would like to inquire as to the whereabouts of aforementioned catgirls with the threat of violence if iâm refused
want to see something horrible?
yes but also no
correct answer! please enjoy this photograph of a caribou shedding its antler velvet (blood tw)

Traces of coca and nicotine found in Egyptian mummies -Â WTF fun facts
well DUH. a lot of historians are still trying to process the fact that ancient egyptians knew how to build boats, which is ridiculous. why would they not be seafarers and explorers?
this is not new or surprising information at all. it pretty much day one of any african-american studies course.
the egyptians knew that if they put their boats in front of the summer storm winds itâd blow them right across the sea to the Americas and they shared that with the greeks.
Itâs really hard for people to understand that everyone had boats, exploration, and trade interactions without the same level of murder, colonization, and violence that the Europeans did. Itâs really hard for people to get that.
Well, no people find hard to understand that one of the earliest civilizations could build a boat sturdy enough and reliable enough to cross a 8,766 mile stretch that gave people thousands of years of technological progress later great difficulty.
The notion that technology is a steady upward climb of âprogressâ is, itself, part of a Eurocentric historical narrative revolving around the tacit teleological assertion that Western European civilisation represents the culmination and endpoint of history.
In reality, technologies are frequently discovered, lost and rediscovered, often multiple times, and frequently in parallel. A Dark Age in one region may be a time of rapid technological development in another region, and itâs not uncommon to encounter evidence of ancient civlisations using technologies a thousand years out of whack with the âproperâ order of discovery⌠where âproperâ is defined in terms of the order in which those technologies were discovered in Western Europe - thereâs that Eurocentrism again.
I mean, just to give you an idea of how flexible the order in which technologies are developed can be and how ultimately wrong-headed the notion of linear technological progress is, there are Central American civilisations that had indoor plumbing, central heating and hot and cold running water before inventing the wheel. Some of the First Nations in what is now Eastern Canada had sophisticated climate models and reliable weather prediction - including functioning barometers and other simple meteorological instruments - before they figured out metallurgy.
So no, itâs not particularly incredible that the ancient Egyptians had boats far more advanced than they âshouldâ have given their overall level of technology. That stuff happens all the time.
People invent the technology they need. They can even invent a technology, then not use it.
The Inca are often accused of ânot knowing about wheels.â
Except, they did have wheels. They just didnât use wheels for long distance transportation. They had a huge road system. On which everything was moved by pack animals and people. The Inca road is an incredible feat of engineering.
So, why didnât they use wheels?
Because their land was so freaking mountainous that the road would repeatedly turn into this:
Tell me what earthly use a wheel is when your road keeps having to have steps and narrow bridges because you live on top of a mountain.
But that image shows us what they did have.
Thatâs a suspension bridge. Europeans didnât invent those until centuries after the Inca did.
Because when the most efficient route through your home hits chasms, guess what?
You get real good at making bridges!
And when the best way to move goods through your desert homeland is a big river?
You get real good at making boats.
The technology a culture develops and uses is the technology they need. In Europe that was one suite of technology, and because white folk are so dang arrogant, we think thatâs the superior means of development. Itâs not, itâs just how technology develops in Europe.
The Minoan civilisation in Greece, around 2,500 BCE, developed huge technological advancements, including fully operational water and sewage systems, complete with flushing toilets. This would be around 3,000 years before one was invented in England.
Minoan Greece was also a sea power. They had huge fleets of ships, which meant they did a lot of exploration. They also built one of the biggest trade networks in the world, reaching as far as Egypt, Cyprus, Canaan, Syria, the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal), the Levantine coast, Anatolia and Mesopotamia (modern-day Turkey, Israel and Iraq).
A volcano eruption on a nearby island, which caused a tsunami, possibly destroyed their sea power and left them vulnerable, which is why most of their technology was lost.
The Late Bronze Age Collapse a few centuries later led to the simultaneous destruction of advanced civilisations in Greece, Egypt, the Near East, Asia Minor, North Africa, Caucasus, Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean. This caused a dark age across two continents which created isolated village cultures, and is the reason most of their advancements were lost.
The notion that technology can only advance is some white nonsense.
That too.
(Minoan Crete may have been part of the inspiration for Atlantis).
This is also why Egyptians didnât bother with the wheel* for like three thousand years. What fucking good are wheels when EVERYTHING IS SAND?
But on the flip sideâŚthey came up with a way to use water to basically hydroplane those giant stone blocks in their buildings across the desert. Which is a hell of a lot more useful in an unpaved sandy region.
Likewise letâs not forget the Aztecs, who came up with a farming system so efficient (chinampas) that parts of it are still used today and really ought to be revived on a wider scale as part of sustainable farming. And also Native Americans, and Iâm using that term BECAUSE itâs so broad: look at tribes across the country and youâll see something interesting. Iroquois, living in a cold, well-forested, and often icy land, built immovable longhousesâwhich would survive the bitter northeastern winters. Plains tribes developed the tipi/teepeeâwhile they also faced long, even dangerous winters, they also lived in a place where travel was far easier and the worst of winter could be weathered by heading south. Or down where I live, the Sinagua (later assimilated into the Hopi) built their homes IN CLIFFS. And by that I mean âoff the ground, built into the cliff face with adobe.â Aka, some of the best pre-refrigeration insulation against the heat that you could possibly hope for. We still donât know how they did it, incidentally. âWith ladders, dumbassâ is an obvious answer in some of their dwellings, but in others itâs not clear how they justâŚ.hung over a sinkhole, a quarter of a mile or so above the water, and chipped out the front doors so they had a place to sit while they made the rest. Scaffolds? Very well-balanced rope ladders? Smaller cliffs they chipped off afterward to prevent enemy incursion? We donât know, but we do know they found a way to make the extreme heat survivable and even sort of a nonissue. They never bothered with stuff like modern central AC because they found a way to let the stone and clay do the job for them.
Technology isnât always a race. Sometimes itâs just an evolution.
*nominally. We have extant toys from this period that have wheels to make them move.
time traveling researchers who make an attempt not to pollute the timeline but also aren't overly concerned with it, bc once humans invented time travel tech they conveniently adapted modern religions to be chill with the idea that sometimes shit happens & human lives get erased from the timeline
the first approved use of time travel technology was to defeat WW2 dictators before the war even began. this effectively saved millions of lives, and created millions of lives, while erasing millions of lives (aka folks whose ancestors didn't end up getting together in the exact same order & circumstances). but everyone living in the new timeline is a lot happier and doesn't remember any of the folks who technically never existed anyway, so society has moved on
Post TREs (Temporal Rearrangement Events) christianity in particular won't stop squabbling about whether the people who got Erased from the original timeline had immortal souls (since they technically never existed) or if their immortal souls were revoked, or if their souls were only ever mortal to begin with. most mainstream churches generously believe that Erased Folks have immortal souls and would be welcomed into heaven, but also that it's ethically fine to rearrange the timeline bc you might be killing people but you aren't killing their immortal souls. (also there's minor argument about whether heaven keeps people segregated by timeline, or if after you die you get to heaven and suddenly meet your spouses & kids from multiple alternate timelines.)
the catholic church is adamant that changing the timeline is a sin, but only bc the pope insists that the souls of Erased Folks have to wait in purgatory until the harrowing of hell, and it's not humanity's job to send so many people to purgatory. (aka the catholic position is that erasing lives is a sin but only specifically bc it's interfering with God's Plan)
today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy
Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? Thatâs fine. Cat too? Love cats.Â
My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, thereâs no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.
I donât think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.
genuinely terrifying how adhd will have you be fully aware of the responsibilities youâre neglecting and yet its like youâre being piloted by a super chill hedonistic demon who canât hear you/doesnt care
âWe need to get this paperwork done yesterday, its REALLY importantâ
âBrah. I feel you but like, youâre harshing my mellow, canât work with a harshed mellowâ
Also the key difference between this and âlazinessâ is that it doesnât corelate whatsoever to the difficulty of a task. the thing youâre supposed to do can be easy or even fun and putting it off can feel miserable and even painful. You can sit there feeling sore and sick from not getting up yet and your body still sits in place. You can hate the tv series you put on and keep clicking ânext episode.â Sometimes what you needed to do was make one phone call and instead you do grueling yard work or household cleaning for hours that didnât need done thinking about the phone call until itâs too late to do it.
Cozy alpine cottage in the forest edge âď¸đ˛
fucked up that we donât make belts with loops for holding blades or pouches for storing coins and bunches of dried herbs anymore
half of those are fanny packs
while both are an example of bags worn on the waist, a leather pouch is NOT the same thing as a fanny pack and i will die on this hill
what is a fanny back but a modern day medival coin purse my friend
I donât care what you call them, i need stuff like
Firstly - they look cool
Secondly - i hate hate HATE purses, messenger bags mess up my posture which then hurts my spine, and backpacks are hard to reach and take stuff out or put stuff in.
These? These are perfectly handy, weight gets distributed around your pelvic area instead of hurty spine, and you wonât just forget it laying somewhere. Again.
