You people are watching World Cup while the US/Israel are bombing Iran, Lebanon and Gaza again?
As a US resident and citizen I didn't realize it started yet. Not like I can watch without paying $80/month for a cable package... Much of which would then go to FOX. Hell naw
It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere
On Immovable Objects
I consider myself a bit of an unstoppable force -- I am often delayed or deflected but I have not yet been stopped, as evidenced by the fact I am posting this -- and so I thought I'd share my thoughts on immovable objects. The crux of the matter is, sometimes you don't need to move the immovable Object. Sometimes you just need to move whatever the immovable Object is on. The Object will remain at rest relative to the thing you're moving, and so, from its point of view, will not have been moved, as long as you're careful and don't do this too quickly. That way, you have enough room to get into bed and start cuddling the Object properly. if you *do* move the blankets underneath the Object a little too fast, it will probably protest, at which point you should stop to give the Object a little scritch under the chin. And don't worry, I pay my Object Tax:
We need to study the powerful psychic field around tumblr posts that causes people to hallucinate entire lines and paragraphs that are not present in the actual text
according to my friends who actually have follower counts, this happens on other social media (mastodon/bsky/formerly twitter) too (formerly twitter because none of my friends with significant follower numbers still have accounts on The Website Formerly Known As Twitter)
since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"
some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.
benefits of mg:
easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")
ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually
ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)
fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter
distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)
wizard.
drawbacks:
there aren't any
yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.
Mg. [lastname]
See it just works
I love this.
I support Mg. for "mage" as the standard nonbinary prefix, and also "The" as the gender-neutral prefix for knights instead of Sir/Dame

it’s 2014 it’s time we moved on as a nation and stop reblogging this
every person who reblogs this in 2015 is gonna get their ass kicked by yours truly
"come on, you can do it" "come on, you can do it" "okay that's it, get licked idiot"
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal
This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.
The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human
Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.
I have won at socks by refusing to wear them for like 15-20 years
Yuri Gagarin, the hobbyist photographer, at home with his wife.
Yuri Gagarin being identified only as an amateur photographer and not literally the first human in space has me on the floor
This is a good reminder that there is a lot of texture and complexity to people; every human contains lots of aspects that would be completely unrelated if not for the fact that the same person experiences them. It’s easy to forget this, and compress the people you meet into a caricature; even celebrities usually end up being famous for one thing alone. But even something as glorious as the first space travel by a living human does not fully encompass a life.
This, too, is Yuri.
To all those boys who used to change in the bathroom stalls after gym class or at the pool or whatever else, how’s the transition going, queen? Estrogen looks good on you. Happy for you
me who'd change into and out of my baseball uniform only in the bathroom *at home*. Mom would keep a towel in the car so I wouldn't get the seat dirty
Incorrect FFXIV quote
"It's 106 malms to Limsa, we got a full tank of ceruleum, half a loaf of archon bread, it's dark, and we're wearing shades. Hit it."
the prince has begun practicing curtseying in the mirror. which could mean nothing.
we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,
I love the insinuation that the second the princess realized she was a girl and thus actually a princess, the dragon was there. That thing wasted no time. It heard "princess" and was like "I need no further invitation, here I come."
Gender affirmed by Dragon. Amazing.
pretty sure you’re literally the only person who understood my vision on this accursed post
So the tags on the previous 3 posts, for my followers:
#don’t worry. we believe the dragon may be an ally
#APbD - Assigned Princess by Dragon #I couldn't fit that joke into the post so have it in the tags
#‘she fucked the dragon’ this. ‘she fucked the dragon’ that#what the princess and that dragon are up to is none of our business. the important thing is that the dragon affirms her princesshood#and if that affirmation involves getting railed by a 50 ton behemoth of a wyrm? then good for her#also.. sincerest apologies to any of my followers who read these tags
also I did find one other post which got the intent, as proven by the tags. link below: https://www.tumblr.com/rat-detector/805565007212462080?source=share

Deltarune Ch.5-7 predictions
I just want to have these publically posted somewhere so if I turn out to be right about a bunch of this I have proof. Might add more later.
Deltarune Predictions for chapters 5-7
The First Hero from the prophecy is The Vessel we created and named in chapter 1.
The Second Hero is Dess. (Susie doesn't use swords!)
The Third Hero is Asriel. (note the heart symbols on hands! and he's also a prince!)
They tried to save the balance of light and dark… and failed.
"At Last, Was The Girl" is either also Dess or possibly Noelle.
Color theory is real. Kris is blue. Ralsei green. Susie purple. Undyne yellow. Toriel cyan. We haven't seen Orange in the dark world yet, but I'm predicting it'll be Papyrus.
The Knight is not actually evil. They've got some sort of timeline-reset power on their side too (Gaster?) and is working to challenge us as much as they can without actually stopping us, in order to prepare us for the real evil.
Either Carol or Dess is the knight. I'm guessing Carol.
Ch.5 involves Asgore (this is a freebie, I want to make sure I get at least one right…)
Ch.6 involves Mettaton and will be infinitely better if you gave Tenna to Mettaton in Ch.4.
This is a longshot, but I'm guessing Alvin (the pastor) winds up writing Chapter 7 of Lord of the Hammer based on our exploits.
Sans knows the player's powers, as in undertale, but is trying to hide it this time.
There are six total shadow crystals in chapters 1-6.
Beating the Knight turns out to actually be a bad idea with long-term consequences. Or at least getting the Shadow Mantle is.
The best ending will require getting the shadow crystals from chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 but not 3.
Seam, given 5 shadow crystals, will create or become another superboss, who must be beaten to obtain the Pure Crystal, used for the best ending.
weird route predictions:
"Love finds its way to the girl" has a different meaning depending on normal route or weird route -- there it's L.O.Ve.
The final ch7 boss fight of Weird Route is against Susie. Or possibly against all three of Kris/Ralsei/Susie, possibly as Noelle.
The Twisted Sword -- which requires the Thorn Ring and Pure Crystal to create -- will be required for the Worst Ending.
people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING
be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.
I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar
I strongly believe lurking in online spaces is the best way to learn how to interact with the locals without pissing them off in the process. Once you've done that, you can better choose how to go about introducing yourself.
The late 90s-early 2000s internet was a godsend for me, a young autistic kid, as a place where I could learn to interact with other people without fear of being beaten up if I made a mistake.
i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of ‘what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as ‘the evil ones’ and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it’s a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it’s not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don’t think about it’ and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
I can't believe this post is from 2021.
