Just watched Everything, Everywhere, All at once. And I have to say that is a very good movie.

So good I really can't say anything more about it, it was just really good.

Don't you hate it when your friends start clawing and gnawing

[lordicus2]

Just watched Primitive War, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Like the Dinosaurs were accurate(for our current understanding), the characters were competently written, the reason the dinosaurs were there was good, and fewer negative stereotypes than I expected.

Ok time for the ramble, the dinosaurs in this were so good, the raptors had feathers but the T-Rex didn't, talking about raptors the two big raptor threats were Deinonychus and Utharaptor instead of the typical Velociraptor, and the Utahraptor is never actually called that because the movie is set before it was discovered. Now the T-Rex was a thing of beauty, they had lips, they had good parental skills and a good relationship, and when they bit something it made this absolutely wonderful popping sound(that's really what sold me on the movie).

The movie also had a nice diverse set of dinosaurs, most were only seen once or twice but still. Like they had all of the ones I have mentioned already, Triceratops (obviously), Spinosaurus(which was semi-aquatic!), Quetzalcoatlus(it had a long tongue), Amargasaurus(only a brief scene but I have never seen one in a non-documentary!), Tsintaosaurus(I think, I'm not quite sure of this one), and Diplodocus(again, I think).

That's about all because I don't want to include spoilers, the movie is good enough I actually recommend watching it. On a final note one of the characters had schizophrenia and wasn't treated as an insane monster but as a man who needed more help than he was getting, so that was good.

tapping the "homosexuality is just a kink for people of the same gender, if you're anti-kink you may as well be homophobic" sign

[velvetvexations]

there's no material difference between getting off to men vs. getting off to wearing leather

please do!

I could write more, but this is off the top of my head.

Tendencies towards monogamous relationships are not intrinsic to humanity. There are multiple cultures that do not or historically did not practice monogamy in their relationships. A good current example is the Mosuo people in China, who have what are called "walking marriages," where people live separately from partners, their relationships are unrestricted, and any resulting children are raised within the village by the parents' family members.

If monogamy was ingrained, it would not have to be enforced. Yet there are staggeringly high infidelity rates across both genders. The idea of monogamy is to solely romantically and sexually "belong to" one person. Thus, there is an implied dynamic of mutual ownership, where ALL sexual pleasure MUST be derived from one partner (aside from masturbation - but even some monogamous relationships have issues with this, such as the types who see jerking it to porn (or jerking it at all) as infidelity, based on the same principle of sexual ownership). How is this not an elaborate chastity "You get it when I say you can get it" kink with extra steps?

[cutecipher]

whether or not men benefit from feminism has no bearing on whether feminism is worthwhile

[cutecipher]

put another way. i dont care about how men are impacted by feminism

[cutecipher]

already have people mad about this. okay here's another take. men should be feminists for no benefit.

[smokinghorse]

just had a really good mango it was so good that i had to illustrate how it made me feel afterwards.

[stratfender]

op’s tags are so fucking important to me

[labelleizzy]

Oh my gosh I need to find the mango poem I read yesterday, ending "makes my taste buds want to tango/who, bitch, your man?/no, bitch: a mango"

[crabussy]

slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don't feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn't have complex facial muscles. come on gang

[asaltysquid]

As my main income, I work with fish in a specialty pet store that's privately owned (so I'm allowed to say no and be stern to customers when it's needed).

You learn really quickly that not only do fish have individual personalities and emotions but they also have memories and recognize people! There are certain fish who will only come out for me and hide for everyone else. The pufferfish spits at me because she gets pissy that I haven't fed her. The flowerhorn bites everyone but me and my coworker when we clean his tank. I trained a fire eel to come up and eat directly out of my hand.

Fish are beautiful complex creatures and I thank the universe everyday that I get to work in a place where I'm encouraged to tell animal abusers to fuck right off.

So, like, fun fact: all of us, down to nearly the very base of animal tree of life, basically have the same neurotransmitters for motivation/drive. We all seem to have comparable pain receptors and react to opioids (pain reduction)

(Well, invertebrates use octopamine instead of noradrenaline, but supposedly that is very similar.)

And by almost the entire tree of life I do mean all of us: mammals, fish, bugs, jellyfish, POSSIBLY sponges (it is a little unclear if someone checked)

All, that is, except ctenophores.

Also known as 'a swimming string of led lights wrapped in a plastic bag'.

Completely different neurochemistry.

May as well be aliens.

Not at all inspired with my own new horizons experience.

Context for confused - in animal crossing new horizons you’re not really choosing a gender as so looks, so from things that give you random items you can easily get a dress even if you’re playing as a boy looking character.

Foreigners will never understand how someone like Rawhide Kobayashi would immediately become a beloved local fixture in whatever small American town he ended up in.

every single time someone pulls the "How would you AMERICANS like it if someone came to AMERICA and" reversal, the answer is always "we'd fucking love it"

@kurtwagnermorelikekurtwagnerd

Your tags summed up the exact feeling I had about this

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

I just Googled the Swedish-Japanese guy in the OP, and according to this interview, his Japanese name was given to him by the master gardener he was apprenticed under:

“The family name ‘Murasame’ was given to me by my master. The given name ‘Tatsumasa’ is a combination of ‘dragon’ (tatsu), the [zodiac] year when I was born, and one character from my master’s name,” says Murasame."

So I think maybe it's less like naming yourself 'Brandon McFreedom' and more like moving to the states to work under a veteran car mechanic named Bud McLean, and then having him turn to you after a few years on the job, and say "Son, it's time for you to become an American so you can open up your shop. And when that day comes, I think the world should know you by a new name: McLeo GM Corvette."

[teaboot]

Named by his superior by conventions one would apply to a super chill stray cat

[lordicus2]

Me: sorry, can't come over, I got that dawg in me you know?

My Werewolf Boyfriend: please stop making that joke while we're stuck together.

I barely remember making this but I stand by it

Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards. 

It would raise braille literacy more than anything else I could imagine - among both the blind and the sighted. Currently braille is actually vanishing due to an increasing reliance on audiobooks and screen readers. 

I think that braille has a lot of potential use among non-blind groups. As an alternative to traditional writing for dyslexics. As a way to help photosensitive people type with their eyes closed. Or simply as a means to help sighted people find things without needing the lights on all the time!

[acutelyhomosexual]

Accessibility note: It’s important that braille doesn’t vanish because it’s one of the only written language that works for blind and sight-impaired people. It is necessary for them to interact with the real world where screen readers and audio devices are not available to them, such as elevators, most major metro systems, stairwells, doorways, the bumps in the sidewalk at corners are actually developed in conjunction with audio signals so blind people don’t step off the curb into traffic before the correct time. 

Digital technology has made accessibility so much easier for all of us disabled people, but we still *need* the real-world accommodations that we fought and died for

Ants have the most badass lives of anything in the animal kingdom, life as an ant is like warhammer

[hexbugswallower]

Wake up in enormous underground cyberpunk metropolis

Venture outside with your ant buddies to forage scraps from an incomprehensible civilization of alien gods (each one several times larger than the city you've spent most of your life inside) for the glory of your GodMomEmpress

Get attacked by a platoon of soldiers from a rival megacity, they're an offshoot of your species except like twice as big (basically orks) and like 10% of them are genetically modified supersoldiers with wings

Luckily, you've been engineered from birth to spit acid so you and your antfriends successfully defeat the rival ants and their winged miniboss

Die from getting stuck on a jolly rancher

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”
