They closed the Death Wendy's over a year ago and I'm still mad about it. It was a Wendy's located in the middle of a six-way intersection, requiring many pedestrians to cross the street 3 times in a row in order to get to it
It was one of the city's top ten spots for car crashes, multiple people died there, and the service was terrible. I miss it dearly
i think if your account has existed on this site for a certain number of years you should be grandfathered into ad free browsing. a decade seems reasonable like if you signed up in 2012 or prior you have tenure

Yesterday I confused a friend because I called him sir and he was like ??? why are you calling me sir we’re friends? And i had to explain that sir is not a word its a feeling. my mac shutting down for no reason is sir. My cat is sir. My pair of jeans is sir. An email that finds me unwell is sir. Two bugs outside my window are sirs.
Examples:
sir please stop eating plastic
sir do you really have to do this right now
sir *intense stare*
my good sir stop that right now
sir why are you just standing in the way
(warningly) sir...
please listen to me sir
(tiredly) sir please.
Too many of us have worked retail.
Sir is very close to, you motherfucker.
You motherfucker (polite)
I’m not entirely sure about the mood of the crowd in here, but it’s certain she’s got their full attention.
Amazing.
The main thing I get from Dylan Hollis cooking old recipes is this:
Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are great, and I suspect it’s because they were made by someone with limited resources. But they found a way to make something good, maybe even something fantastic with those limited resources, and they wanted to write it down and share with their friends so that they could also make something out of saltines and potatoes. Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are written down and shared in love.
The recipes you should fear come from the 1950s and 1960s, which I’m pretty sure are written down and shared as a form of McCarthyism.
I strongly suspect that the rise in horrifying recipes in the 50s, 60s and 70s is that this is when recipes were being used as advertising. Whether or not the recipe was tasty or even palatable at all was a secondary concern at best to if it could convince a housewife to buy more Chlorox Brand Lard™️ to try it out.
Interestingly, there has been a resurgence of that exact phenomenon, which perhaps you’ve seen: viral cooking media Meme recipes of unfamiliar origin? Videos of impossible recipes or trick editing? “Life Hacks”? I bet these will be the Horrifying Sixties Recipes of tomorrow, because they are also made to sell attention rather than to inform.
At this point, I would like to remind you all of Ann Reardon, and her youtube channel “How to Cook That” where she not only debunks and explains the trickery behind all those “viral baking hacks” but also provides ways to ACTUALLY make those things where possible, as well as a numberbof other delightful recipes, and often has her willing husband taste test the internet’s culinary monstrosities. She’s the hero we need so 50 years from now another Dylan Hollis won’t destroy his microwave or his face trying to make “ ‘this easy 2 ingredient microwave caramel!!!’ that comes to us from 2021 from the channel ‘5 Minute Crafts’.”
Reardon is also a vocal advocate against Youtube, Tiktok, and Facebook allowing (and borderline encouraging) dangerous videos to become so viral on their platforms. She frequently cites incidents where people were hospitalized, marred for life, killed, poisoned, or accidentally burnt down their homes attempting to recreate tacky clickbait recipes and crafts.
And, like Dylan Hollis, she too recreates incredibly old recipes (usually 100yrs or more) while adding educational background to the reasons a recipe calls for this or that weird ingredient/technique. She also makes clickbait-like videos herself like "Giant Snickers Bar!" or "Holographic Chocolate!" only when you click you get EXACTLY what was advertised. She WILL show you how to make a Minecraft cake or a giant Kit-Kat or a sweet gift from an old snack package. Because Ann Reardon is a professional, wonderful person who believes the world should be better.

I will always reblog this.
I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.

The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.
all i hear from that last paragraph is “id rather be spied on by an app and let it gather my personal information to be sold to the highest bidder who wants it to manipulate me into giving them money, than go through the “labor-intensive” process of clicking on a blog and deciding for myself if I liked it”
i don’t care if you hate tumblr but the total desensitization to having your privacy violated and the belief that making decisions for yourself about what content you want to see is too hard and so much work that you’d rather let an app — that was developed by people you don’t know and who you have no reason to trust — study you and everything you do so that it can make those choices for you about what you enjoy ….
like holy shit I wanna laugh but im actually just very concerned.
When I was about 4 or 5, my dad worked in software implementation (installing very complicated programs for entire companies, basically). And sometimes when people had a problem with the program, they’d call my dad.
If he wasn’t in the room, I was assigned to answer the house phone and say “Hello, Edward will be here in jutht a moment,” in my high-pitched lisp typically described by family members as “elfin”, and then yell for my dad. Then I’d listen to him walking them through the issue because I found it interesting.
One time my dad went in for a meeting with the CEO of a large company, like, one you’ve heard of, and the CEO said “Oh, by the way, your assistant is amazing! Fixed my problem immediately."
After some very subtle investigative work - because if the CEO of a billion dollar company is pleased you don’t answer with ‘wtf are you talking about’ - he determined that what happened was the following:
The CEO called my dad at a very odd time of day, because rich people are like that.
The phone was answered by an elfin, lisping voice, which said “Hello, I’m thorry, Edward ithn’t here right now. Can I help you?”
“…okay, do you thee the power button? Can you rethtart the computer? …that means turning it off.”
Five minutes later, the CEO hung up, very pleased that an elf with a speech impediment had fixed his million-dollar software.
You're the mythical 20 years old with 20 years experience.
The thing is that whether Britney is genuinely impaired or not, legally she is disabled, and whether the impairments that she's claimed to have are real or not, the law has been treating her and will continue to treat her as disabled until something changes legally.
This is how disabled people are often treated (keeping of course the distances of her celebrity profile and massive estate). She shouldn't have to not be legally disabled in order to have her civil rights guaranteed.
This is why disabled activists keep telling you guys to stop trying so hard to distance yourselves from disabled people. Someone can just decide one day to put on paper that you're disabled regardless of how true that actually is and if a judge says okay to that then you'll be just as fucked as the next disabled person.
The trick isn't in trying to separate yourself from us, it's in making sure that people get to retain their autonomy regardless of disability status.
Disabled rights are YOUR rights either right now or in the future.
