"it's inscrutable" maybe to you it is. I scrute it all the time

it should be socially acceptable to wear whatever type of clothes you want anywhere and i am not kidding

dress is an indicator of status that poor people, people of color, disabled people, some religious people, and women consistently fail to meet due to social prejudice or barriers to acquiring the appropriate clothing

obviously there are scenarios where specific clothing is required (like PPE at a job site)

but a person coming to an office job in sweatpants doesn't make them less qualified to do their work, it just means they're more comfortable while doing it

"you're required to wear a face shield, an apron/coat, and closed toed shoes in this lab environment for your safety" awesome perfect, i love safety, and i can wear whatever i want under it.

"you're required to wear a suit to present your lab work" i do not become less intelligent wearing non-formal clothing, and this presentation has now become inaccessible to someone who cannot wear appropriate formal dress

Indium has 39 known isotopes, ranging in mass number from 97 to 135. Only two isotopes occur naturally as primordial nuclides: indium-113, the only stable isotope, and indium-115, which has a half-life of 4.41×1014 years, four orders of magnitude greater than the age of the Universe and nearly 30,000 times greater than half-life of thorium-232. The half-life of 115In is very long because the beta decay to 115Sn is spin-forbidden. Indium-115 makes up 95.7% of all indium.

hey you know what? fuck this.

U literally cannot save your mother like it cant be done

homunculus-argument

Imagine that one day as you're walking on a hot sunny path, your hat jumps off your head and lands into a muddy ditch. And you look at your muddy hat and ask it: "What did you do that for?"

"I don't want to be a burden anymore", your hat answers. "You are always carrying me around, and I can't carry you. That's not fair."

"I don't mind carrying you, little idiot", you tell your hat, "you hardly weight anything at all, and you shelter me from the sun."

"But that's different", your hat protests. "I don't mind the sun scorching on me. That happens anyway. It's literally no trouble for me to shade you too."

"Just the same it's no trouble for me to carry you. But now, because you wanted to stop inconveniencing and bothering me, I am now hatless and you are in the dirt."

"how do you feel about labels as a queer person?"

quasi-normalcy

I think that Elon Musk is an object lesson in moral philosophy.

Like, he's the epitome of self-interest; the closest thing real life can produce to a Randian hero. And by any reasonable standard, he's won at life! He's the richest man ever to live, and he's getting richer; he controls the channels of information and communication; the government of what remains the world's only superpower waits on his command. If capitalism had a victory condition, he would surely have achieved it. And yet...

He's empty. He's an absolute sucking void of neediness. His own children hate his guts. He pays professional gamers to run up impossibly high scores in every game under the sun because the pale glow of being praised by epic bacon chuds online is the closest thing that he can feel to love.

Like. I can't tell you what a soul is, but I think you neglect it at your peril.

#He has such a vile anti-personality that even CONVICTED PEDOPHILES thought him insufferable

He has such a vile anti-personality that his own children would rather forego half a trillion dollars in inheritance than maintain a relationship with him.

I never really thought about it until this tweet but I think Oates clocked him completely. He spends all day on Twitter posting and NEVER talks about anything he enjoys. He has an enormous family and infinite money and yet he seems entirely joyless.

I am the last one left in a line of kings

I was caught

writing a paper on antigone and had to draw her or i’d go insane. love the fascination different translators have with Antigone’s eulogy for herself and the role of fate in the play
