I have been struggling

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

As grown ups who plays Among Us it’s our duty to kick/ ban everyone who:

Has a name with a slur in it. (The amount of slurs I see in names is crazy)

Asks for minor’s Snapchats/ig/ etc. (I literally had someone come in and immediately ask for specifically kids Snapchat’s.)

Showing inappropriate or bad behavior.

If you arent in charge of the server then point it out and make sure the kids who play know it’s not okay.

It’s a fun game that a lot of us play, and it came be a good thing that grown ups are on there keeping an eye on things. Let’s make a nice space for ourselves and everyone else to enjoy.

Since this seems to be controversial according to my inbox, I’ll say it again. 

If you are an adult, and someone comes into your server... 

... with a slur in their name BAN THEM.

... asking about personal or contact information (especially aimed at kids) BAN THEM.

... being racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc, BAN THEM.

Just had the most random run-in with a former. I met him when he was in kindergarten and now he’s in college at OU. Turning into my street there was a car turning out of my street. As we pass each other I see the driver and he’s looking at me. I know him! We both stop our cars and back up. It’s Spencer!!!

Eva Longoria is everything

[dabeatnik]

Yet she can’t even speak Spanish 😂😅😂😅😂

That’s pride alright lmfao

She don’t have to, but don’t talk all that shit if you don’t even learn your own culture #lame

[burgertv]

you were saying @dabeatnik???

[thecrackshiplollipop]

ummm

“When I was growing up, my parents spoke to each other in Spanish, but they didn’t speak to us in Spanish because they were told not to. In school we weren’t allowed to speak it.”

and also???

“… But America is the only country that promotes monolingualism. Here it’s English, English, English. Every other country makes their children learn a second language very early on. So as my political and social activism grew, I was like, ‘I really need to learn Spanish.’ So I did.“ 

idk how many people i’ve known growing up in texas whose parents speak fluent spanish but they don’t speak a lick solely because their parents were afraid or told not to teach their children. it’s unspeakably common and doesn’t in any way shape or form diminish someone’s claim to or pride in their heritage. 

fuck that guy. you go eva. 

[lady-threewhiteleopards]

lack of intergenerational language exchange is one of the leading causes of language death for endangered and indigenous languages because of this culture of shame attached to “lesser” coded languages so frankly if yr mocking people for not speaking their mother tongue without taking the colonial reasons for this into account, you’re an ignorant prick and you can go fuck yourself like

[leytonrhys]

Yes. But for #hawaii

I felt the urge to illustrate this particular line from the movie especially in light of Halle Bailey being cast as Ariel. I’m personally very thrilled for her and I can’t wait to see how she brings our little mermaid to life!

The most dangerous phrase in the language is, “we’ve always done it this way.”

[pluginduck]

“Come on, let’s mix it up!” The heart surgeon says.

“B-but we’ve always done it this way!” The other replies, “this is how you replace a heart valve.”

“That’s the most dangerous phrase in the human language!” The first surgeon replies haughtily as he inputs a fruit loop into the patient’s heart. “This will be his valve. He will be a fruit loop in a world of Cheerios.”

This is serious business, because this is a large part of how sexism, racism, homophobia, rape culture, ethnocentrism, etc. continue to happen.

[the-attagirl]

The reason we do heart surgeries the way we do is not “because that’s what we’ve always done.”  It’s because that’s how year of scientific research says will give the best results.  One of the best uses of the scientific method is to test common practice, and either eliminate it or give it legitimacy. Don’t do things because “that’s what we’ve always done,” do them because that is what evidence and research say we should do.

[bidootdoot-deactivated20190601]

Saying “we’ve always done it this way” justifying maintaining a harmful societal norm is dangerous. We can do better.

[tempest-caller]

I honestly can’t believe someone saw a post about how it’s bad to justify bigotry or other hardships with “that’s the way it is/has always been/etc” and decided to debunk that with an example of heart surgery as if that’s in any way comparable or the point of this post. 🙄

But honestly, even if the post was talking about things like that? If science found a better way to do heart surgery, and after tons of study and research it was undeniably the best way to do it, and surgeons said “Nah, we have always done it our way so we are going to keep doing it our way; who cares what the science says” that would be a problem.

[aerospace-agenda]

…If we did surgery “the way we’ve always done it”, it’d be being done in a small theater complete with live audience, with sawdust on the floor, no, or extremely addictive, anesthetic, unwashed hands, and unsterilized tools.

Probably other stuff, too, that’s just stuff formalized in (western) medicine from the past hundred-fifty years, give or take, off the top of my head. Pretty much any changes to that got pushback from the establishment from what I’m aware, specifically because guess what way things had always been done…!

Surgery is a spectacularly poor example to use to try and disprove that “the way we’ve always done it” thing.

Things I hate — side-by-side videos where on one side a teacher is teaching something for the first time, and going into excrutiating detail about every little piece of it to make sure that students understand everything that is going on so there is no confusion, and then on the other side is some smart-ass just quickly writing the answer, all to say “ugh this new math is too complicated”

Like… congrats? You already know how to do it? Are you really that much of an idiot that you think it’s that quick and easy for beginners? And the fact that you think the “new way” is new at all, instead of it being literally the same thing you just did but with an extra framework for understanding, means you don’t know as much as you think you do. You can do an algorithm that you don’t understand. Congrats. These fifth graders will be running circles around you bc they actually understand what’s happening, instead of just going through the motions.
