I think about this all the time fr
god is probably not a stuck up humorless cunt...............
god is a female mutual
On Twitter, OP goes on to say that “To fear god is to respect him” https://twitter.com/k_barbiexx/status/1375510120944181249 and other such nonsense) Anybody - deity or not - who'd expect me to be afraid of them isn't worthy of me. Nobody gets to treat me like that. Ever. Having the power to hurt someone does not make one worthy of respect. Hurting someone for “disrespecting you” isn’t okay. It’s not okay if your parent or your partner or a friend does, and it’s not okay if a god does it. A relationship with the divine is a RELATIONSHIP. That means your boundaries matter. Relationships shouldn’t hurt you. If you’re in a church or religious group that tells you you need to be afraid of a deity you’re interacting with, that’s REALLY not okay. At that point, you’re just taking a bog-standard abusive relationship and trying to encode it in How The Universe Works. Fuck that.
as of today july 11, 2021 the covid situation in south korea is worse than it ever has been and it's entirely the US government's fault. they won't control their military personnel who r exempt from south korean law and they won't let south korea keep restricting travel from the US when americans are the ones going clubbing and going to bars and not wearing masks in big groups on the street. koreans aren't allowed to gather in groups larger than 3 after 6pm and we're on level 4 social distancing for the first time and there's americans flooding seoul for their "post pandemic" vacation. the US wrecked moon jaein's plans to vaccinate everyone by march 2021 and cut off our vaccination supply and set south korea back to square 1 and we're competing for vaccine supplies now so no one under the age of 31 or something is vaccinated there's never been this many people with positive tests and outbreaks happening in big shopping malls the government was doing so well and as soon as the US decides the pandemic is over people are dying again

questions to ask at your interview:
1. Why is this position open?
2. How long has this position be vacant?
2a. Follow up if its a long period of time: how has this department/ company been affected by this vacancy?
3. You asked “such and such” on the application. How does that information help you employ the best candidate? (Ive seen people require you to identify your sexual orientation so thats where im going with this)
4. What would you say are some improvements you are looking to make to your company?
so apparently you can hide Nazis on Twitter by setting your location results to Germany or France because Twitter is legally required to remove Nazi content there, so Twitter always had the ability to remove Nazis, they just choose not to
fucking yikes lol
It’s high key illegal to make any kind of nazi joke or gesture in Germany. People can get fired for it and in extreme cases even arrested. On my class trip to Berlin this kid thought it’d be funny to do a Nazi salute in the parking lot where hitler died (was not a destination, just happened to walk by). He was immediately pulled aside by police who legit booked him a flight home for the next day, without the rest of us. He was suspended for two weeks too.
Funny how the country responsible for this takes full responsibility and fights to make it never happen again, while the US, who spent years basing an entire identity on fighting Nazis, gives them a platform to speak freely and draft members.
Don’t forget they literally came out and said if they filtered nazis like they do in Germany and France the algorithm wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between nazis and republican congressmen.
lmao can’t fucking imagine why
Hey Ship, how does one fix a termite-eaten log in a house made of logs? I mean, post-dealing with the termites. Do you like, brace up the wall, pop the bad log out, and put a new one in?
I guess you just hope that it’s not a load-bearing log.
it’s possible to do just that, actually
there’s a lot of propping the house up - easiest is to jack it up, actually, coaxing a jack in under the wall to pump it up.
in this case, where there is a log that’s properly termite-eaten, i’d say take out a small piece of the attacked log, coax the jack into the hole you just created, jack it up until you’ve lifted the wall enough to get the log out and put a new one in.
if the wall is too long to lift with one jack make more holes to put a jack in - if you only have one jack the long wall can warp, which isn’t ideal. other solution to THAT problem is to replace the log in instalments instead, which might be easier tbh
anyway, car jacks are good for a lot of things, not only jacking cars
i think we used three when we lifted the barn? good times
I don’t think that would work with my house because it’s constructed almost exactly like this:
What on earth…??? Who builds a house like that? As the son of a someone who once built log houses for a living, this is very upsetting.
What… do you mean? This is one of the most traditional styles of log house in North America.
That is,,, not a log house. That is a woodplank decorated cabin.
This is a colonial-style American log house typical of the early to mid 1800′s and ubiquitous across the rural Eastern and Midwestern United States up until the end of the century….
?????? But??? There’s????? No logs????? Is there some sort of loophole in the defintion do the word “log house” that allows this kind of house to be still classified as one???
the red arrows point to some of the logs
Ship what the hell are you talking about “American Style” I LIVE in log house territory I’ve NEVER SEEN THIS FUCKING MONSTROSITY.
Have you ever seen a log cabin built before 1900 or have you only seen contemporary structures made with industrial methods? Because this is an old log cabin near Mosier, Oregon:
And here’s one from Washington state, built in the 1880’s:
Felling logs, squaring them off, and filling the gaps with chinking was one of the easiest and fastest ways to build a sturdy house in North America from the 17th to the end of the 19th centuries. Not a monstrosity, just a reliable way to build a house in places where timber was plentiful but nails, sawmills, and industrial machinery were not.
I do not know what in the sam hell you people are on about, that’s just what a log cabin looks like. That….that’s what they look like.
Every time I’ve ever used the word “cabin” for a building in any of my fiction, I was picturing exactly this
Now I’m morally and mortally terrified by the thought that people have been picturing my hillbillies living in vacation resort cottages this entire time
Log cabin by definition has round logs, not planks, sorry.
These are not planks. These are square-hewn logs. This is a traditional style of American log cabin which most historical references describe. Please share whatever official definition you have found that specifies a log cabin cannot be hewn; I am sure your discovery will be of great interest to historians, archaeologists, preservationists, traditional architects, biographers, and people Iike myself who live in reconstructed buildings that have hitherto been considered “log cabins” since European colonization of North America.
If there is to be any taxonomic pedantry about this, it should be over the use of “cabin”. A cabin is a small, unsophisticated building, often serving as a temporary residence and having only one or two rooms. Larger and more complex buildings are “log houses”. This, for example, is not technically a “log cabin”:
This is my house, salvaged from several mid 1800’s log cabins doomed for demolition, which began as a traditional small cabin with squared logs, chinking, and no electricity or running water, but which has slowly been expanded upon into a house:
Whether the logs are stripped of bark and kept round or squared off to create flatter and more stable surfaces does not change whether or not it is a log cabin. Both styles are log cabins, which method someone chose depended on what sort of trees were available, individual skill, and aesthetic preferences.
The style of corner notching also varies. My house and the first log cabin I shared use V-shaped notches, while modern cabins made with fully rounded logs often use the Swedish/saddle notch, and may be sawn off or allowed to overhang:
Gaps between the logs are filled with an insulating sealant, usually called chinking, with ingredients varying depending on what is locally available—that’s what the pale stripes between logs is. Sometimes the gaps were filled with moss and twigs and mud. My house uses a flexible modern material called Perma-Chink. The amount of chinking depends on the regularity of the logs and the style of notching; sometimes it is barely visible because the notches are very deep and the logs sit very close together.
This is all I want to say about log cabins.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give me anxiety over zebras. If you succeed, I will donate a randomized amount of money (from $10 to $99) to your patreon. If you fail, you will have to live with the knowledge that you did not make me anxious (and I get some cool new zebra facts that I didn't know before). Do you accept? [Y] [N]
this is what we're doing now, huh? custom ordered anxiety? you know what fine. fine. let's talk zebras.
first of all i don't know why you wouldn't be anxious about zebras. a zebra will happily kill you. they will bite off your hand and fucking laugh. they are filled to bursting with aggression & spite. i know they usually get a pass bc 'haha stripey horse so goofy ' but. this is a species that regularly survives harsh conditions while being hunted by apex predators so. they've got a dark side.
you know how dogs are domesticated and wolves aren't? horses are domesticated. zebras are not. i don't think it's biologically or ethically possible to domesticate a zebra in any meaningful way. we've tried it, it doesn't fucking work. this is because zebras are angry violent fucks with horrifyingly strong legs. they will happily break a human jawbone with one single graceful kick. they occasionally murder lions in this manner. yes i know it is provoked and self-defensive. yes, i know they don't actually eat the lions they kill. no, this does not in any way make me more comfortable with the concept of a stupid fucking striped horse that occasionally kills lions. they also sometimes kick each other to death but anyone who knows anything about zebras will finds utterly unsurprising.
in general, zebras have terrific senses of sight, hearing, smell and taste, which supports my budding theory they can smell fear. also they have night vision. that's just a fun fact, there's no reason that should induce anxiety. unless you're thinking of facing off w/ a zebra at night. which i don't recommend. bc, you know, angry murder horses.
also zebras don't have black stripes. the're black with white stripes. that's not creepy, it just pisses me off. two more things:
1. i won't be discussing this in detail but i've been developing a theory that zebras fill the same evolutionary niche that clowns & mimes fill in the hominid kingdom. tell me that’s not fucking face paint:
for safety reasons i will not expound on this.
2. there's a theory zebra stripes use motion dazzle to confuse predators. i get so overwhelmed picturing it. imagine being a predator, crouched on the savanna floor, your prey grazing at the watering hole. all is peaceful, all is calm. you are the most dangerous creature present. so you assume. when all of a sudden our are thrust into a dizzying monochrome swirl of spinning stripes, your heightened senses obscured by a rising cloud of dust and the thundering of angry hooves! you jerk around in panic, but are surrounded! surrounded by the trembling blur!
all this to say, i’m working on a short fic portraying what it might be like to be stampeded by mimes.
anyway next time you think of zebras, imagine their beady little eyes, their strong, strong jaw muscles. imagine approaching a zebra like a fool. imagine sticking your hand out to offer it a sugar cube. now imagine how many fingers you would have left, after that experience. there you go, there's your zebra-induced anxiety. patreon is here. i have to go finish writing about being swarmed by a mime horde. gaudy OUT
This is excellent content and I would like to direct you to the podcast Wow in the World for their episode on zebra stripes. The stripes don't dazzle predators, but actually confuse flies. Flies are unable to interpret the stripes when they get close and so cannot bite them. Not to say they never get bit by flies but they get bit significantly less than other, non stripey horses.
Thank you.
