Someone explain

[thefirstanomally]

The first sentence says 32 and 13 implying that the speaker is 32 years old and their girlfriend is 13 years old, which is both highly inappropriate and illegal. The next sentence reveals the speaker was talking about their game levels, not their ages, which is perfectly okay.

In their reply to the audience they then say they are picking her up from middle school, again implying that their girlfriend is underage, but quickly state she’s grading papers letting us know she’s a teacher, definitely an adult, and there no reason to be upset.

The rollercoaster gif portrays how switching from upset and worried to relieved in such a short period of time feels emotionally.

The next meme shows the guy panicking from misunderstanding, then feeling relieved and calm realizing the truth, only to panic over the next misunderstanding and then calm again when hearing the end.

the above explanation is followed by a picture of data from star trek with a speech bubble's tail coming out of him, implying he's the one saying all of that, which is humerous because the above text is written in a style similar to his speech patterns, and with a subject matter he would enjoy

Going through my likes in reverse chronological order is very cursed and yeah I'm gonna be that person

These posts were from 2012-2013. Look at those note counts. I’m sure that actually trying to go through the notes would reveal deranged reblogs, but there’s no way any post praising a Democratic politician would get a lot of notes on here now, let alone that many. Yeah, yeah, you can argue these simplistic posts weren’t great either because politicians shouldn’t be stanned, etc, etc., but I’m pointing out how you used to be able to express positivity towards a Democratic president on here, and that this was a popular sentiment. Now, you can’t even tell people to vote for Democrats against a raping white supremacist without bloggers screaming bloody murder and accusing you of genocide. Forget about praising a Democrat as a person, as the above posts do: you can’t express preference for general Democratic policies over Republican ones without being called a bootlicker. You can’t point to objectively true things about Democratic policies—such as blue states having abortion rights and trans rights and red states not—without people losing their shit and lying about the parties being the same

I’m a broken record yet again but these posts were pre-2016, and the impact of 2016’s combination of online ratfucking campaigns, Bernard Sanders turning a whole generation away from Democrats due to his and his ilk’s “both sides, all corrupt, no war but class war” bullshit, and the birth of fucking cringe culture cannot be overstated. You used to be able to talk about how bad Republicans were on here without adding caveats that Dems totes suck shit too and omg plz still think I’m cool, guys!1! You used to be able to say you supported a Democratic politician without people having a Fox News style meltdown on you. I remember the 2012 election and people on here were able to say “omg Romney would be terrible, vote for Obama!” without much pushback. Compare that to what liberals faced when pleading with people to vote for Democrats against Trump.

And people on here will go “well yeah we were dumb kids in 2012 but now we know how evil Demokkkrats are.” No, you're just engaging in a different kind of childishly simplistic politics because your brain got nuked in the microwave by text posts, memes, and short form video content made by a bunch of morons and malicious actors who—for various reasons—were very invested in getting you to sit on your ass and spend all your time online tearing down the liberal party instead of teaming up to defeat the fascist, forced birth, white supremacist GOP. Letting the tankie micro-blogging website inject a Fox News level of hatred against Obama and other Democrats into your brain is deeply embarrassing, but that’s been the average user on here over the past decade

People will say “nobody treats transmasculine people like predators” and in the same breath say every transmasc or trans man who attempts to differentiate their manhood/masculinity from cis manhood/masculinity is just doing so to evade taking accountability for harm caused and to get away with hurting people (women, in particular).

I don’t know who needs to hear this but being treated like a predator isn’t just being called a predator it’s also people assuming your intentions are nefarious and assigning behavior (and imagined future actions/past transgressions) to you that they have no proof of being real under the guise of “keeping other people safe”.

[ftmtftm]

Frankly I think a lot of Tumblr users think there is no overlap between trans women and gay men like there is between trans men and lesbians 1. because RuPaul did a great job intentionally convincing at least two generations of baby queers that gay men and trans women don't share culture because he's a transmisogynist piece of shit who intentionally kept trans women off Drag Race for years - shattering the perception of our community overlap in the eyes of the mainstream, 1.5. and that culture he cultivated in the mainstream made you afraid of drag as an art so you're uncurious about it, and 2. you're afraid of learning about balls because they're not sanitized white queer culture.

tumblrina[1] culture emphasized a markedly religious view of the "Library"[2], envisioning it as a place that could provide any possible worldly need, such as food[3], every social service[4, 5, 6], and 3d printers[7]. Its bishops, known as "Librarians"[8], were believed to contain infinite patience, wisdom, and knowledge[9]. Adherents were hostile towards the suggestion that not all "Libraries" necessarily provided these things, if such a concept was ever brought to their attention.[10]

The primary association with a Library, in tumblrina culture as well as in society at large, was books and the written word[11]. This is ironic considering, despite frequent verbosity[12], proclaimed superior reading comprehension[13], and often a love of reading and writing[14], many tumblrinas were unable to utilize these abilities in conversation with each other, and in fact, cultivated a very hostile culture[15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20].

i think we need copyright reform. currently most works are protected by copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. here are my two proposals.

18 years. this is enough time for the work to grow to adulthood and begin to care for itself

life of the author + zero years. i like this one because it encourages you to kill people

[cunt-force-therapy]

I once read a version of the 16th century Portuguese epic poem The Lusiads and it included a note from the King of Portugal stating that the book was cleared for publishing. Notably, it specifically said that the author Luís de Camões was entitled to the sole rights of publishing and distribution for an insane 10 years.

I think that's already reasonable enough, what about you guys?

[prismatic-bell]

I think life + 20 years.

For this reason:

Authors have kids. Authors die. Sometimes they die when they have kids. Now that kid has no parent AND a source of income for the family is gone. Royalties aren't much, but they can help bridge that gap until the kid is old enough to have a shot at a decent job.

[cunt-force-therapy]

I wanted to say "fuck them kids" for the meme but I think you make a good point. But it seems inherently immoral to me that anyone should be able to control the rights to someone else's work after they can't benefit from it in any way

[prismatic-bell]

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, I can understand wanting to protect a spouse or parent's legacy. I think it's a little complicated at that point.

Also, appealing to Tumblr’s worst nature, imagine how many Disney movies Disney will make about your favourite books immediately subsuming the memory of the original and cementing the Disneyified story as the “real” version if it’s only the life of the author. They’ll start premiering them either at the author’s funeral or on the first anniversary. And Disney is a corporation that will never die. Consider.

[fightingbymoonlight]

Also I can't help but imagine that if there is a "copyright lasts until the death of the author" we'll start seeing a lot of unexplained deaths of bestselling novelists and convenient movie adaptations/quick special edition printings

[awfulpunk]

this is insanely racist and I haven't even seen much about this online yet

[checkyourasianbias]

after Bad Bunny won they added a Latin song category and after Rosé got three nominations the grammys added a k-pop/c-pop/j-pop category they have always been afraid of well-performing artists of color challenging white artists in mainstream categories

Boston is cursed because they have the best jerseys in the league by an unfairly absurd lead

[serosedflamio]

In line for the SF/Boston game tonight they were handing out little paper "baseball cards" to kids. A 13yo girl went up and asked nicely for one, and the lady said to her "Oh no sweetie, they're only for the itty bitty ones." Girl walked away dejected. Then this 10yo boy a few feet away goes "Oh my gosh! Can I have one?" Lady said "Sure!" And gave him one. He grinned and handed it right over to the teen girl. And that's real alyship.
