there are three kinds of pipe. there’s the kind of pipe you have, which is Garbage. there’s bronze, which is pretty good. unless something goes wrong. and something Always Goes Wrong. and then— there’s copper. which is the only kind of pipe i use. it costs money. it costs money because it saves money.
quitting tumblr is so liberating. hey while im at it, anarchism is the same thing as libertarianism you’re just annoying
hard to swallow pills dot jpg. the reason people don’t like when you infodump about your uwu favorite things isn’t because they don’t like hearing about deep sea ecosystems or anime blorbos or whatever it may be. it’s because talking /at/ someone is selfish. have you asked the other person any questions? do you care what they have to say? would you willingly listen to them infodump the same way or would you (be honest) stand there and wait for your turn to talk? people not responding well to your tedtalk on the thing you like isn’t because they’re normies who hate ‘nerd stuff’, it’s because you have substituted conversation for verbal masturbation. hope this helps
Examples of how to hold healthy conversation and not do “verbal masturabation” as op so kindly put it:
“do you already know about [thing you’re interested in?” This helps show shared interest in something so you know you aren’t alone in your enjoyment.
take pauses. “Did that make sense?” “Are you following?” “Am I talking too much?” Don’t be afraid to asses if they want a turn to talk too!
Ask if they have a similar interest. For example they may not be interested in deep sea creatures but maybe they do like sharks. Maybe they don’t like project Hail Mary but they did watch the Martian. A simple check to make sure you know you aren’t better than everyone for have a “niche” interest!!
Info dump responsibly and make sure the open the conversation with “can I infodump” if you have no intention of stopping anytime soon!!
or just don’t
hot tip for everyone who’s reblogged saying stuff like this: if you ask a human being to their face “can i ramble?” “am i talking too much?” “am i being boring?” etc they WILL lie to you. because they’re being considerate. please return the favor.
Idk I've told people no before. It's not hard to politely go "oh no sorry I'm kind of in a hurry" or tell them you've already heard about it. You don't have to lie to be nice.

have basically given up on tumblr at this point so i really don’t care if the entire population of this place calls me ableist lol. explain to me why the conversational style you’re defending is different from “mansplaining”, i’ll wait

idk if it says more about the nature of the usamerican presidency or about the nature of 80 year olds that neither of the last two guys seem to care about the long term effects of making their vp Shit-Eater In Chief
Reddit post: Hey I'm thinking about pursuing this career does anyone have any advice for my path?
Comments: This job is hell my life is hell don't do it. I wake up every morning for work and hold a gun to my head while doing deep breathing exercises. Find a time machine and go back to 1979 if you even want a chance of getting a position. Prepare to move 5000 miles away. You will be paid one penny per hour for the first 15 years and your days will be 12 hours long at minimum. Being dead is better than doing this profession
Daddy I'm gonna punch you
Who cares
We need to figure out how to communicate "thank you, that was very cool" to whales. And also "please do not do that, that was scary", but that's secondary. Imagine what kind of shit humans would get up to if any time you're out and doing things, there's an above zero chance that you hear a handful of beetles making a tiny sound of waow. nice. and a round of teeny tiny applause.
What are the odds you'll let me watch the game without ruining my family's financial future?

(eating a pill i found on the floor of the club bathroom) hope it's a placebo. i don't need any effects right now
Kate Bush on the set of The Line, the Cross and the Curve, 1993.
one cool thing about having an autistic dad whose special interest is underwater spearfishing is that when he catches fish he'll just call up a nearby chinese restaurant like "hi. i caught a fish. can you cook it and i'll bring my family by?" and they're like "yeah sure come on over white boy" and the fish is delicious.
it's worth adding that my mom is chinese and she always gets embarrassed by this. like she doesn't want to come to the restaurant with us. she doesn't want to be seen with the white man she caught plus the fish that her white man caught. everyone who works at the restaurant thinks my dad is awesome and compliments him + her for choosing him and we all find this very fun except for her.
I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.
