Don't tell the players the rules.
They have to guess. The game can't start until they reverse-engineer the whole system through sheer luck.

Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later
Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)
I've said it before but this is both the Icelandic and the Irish approach:
Of course we're modern educated people who don't believe in fairies
But we're also not gonna fuck with 'em, we're not idiots
do not taste plants if you don't know what they are
do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet
hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro
And today, we have this winner:
I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...
In comments, they continue:
and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:
So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!
YOU GODDAMN STUPID MOTHERFUCKER
we all know adult humans dont get enough enrichment but the other day i was walkin home past an empty playground and impulsively ran over to spin myself on this zipline merry-go-round contraption for a few minutes and it really did feel like it unlocked some neglected part of my brain. like damn we really should all go outside and play more. fuck. they werent kidding with this play time thing. have you guys heard about play time. it could be huge.
Ipnotico
the music is almost as good as that visual
Turn the sound on! You will not be disappointed, people!
FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD, UNMUTE!!!!
n years later this is still one of my favorite videos
This was on a post discussing shit parents doing a new satanic panic. Valid points all around but. But I’m crying. This is the funniest lie ever, no parody I could come up with this will be this funny. Nonbinary Julius Cesar
It's him, Julius xi/xir
When I tell you I wheezed
There’s a lot of talk in the Pitt fandom about Robby being white and having power. And I want to believe that for a lot of people this characterization comes from ignorance rather than from overt antisemitism. So with that in mind I want to share a little bit of what it’s felt like to be a Jewish doctor in America these last few years.
First I want to set up a framework. Being Ashkenazi Jewish means often being perceived as white and also being part of a racialized minority. What do I mean by racialized minority? That this group is understood in a social context as distinctly immutably other. Remember that racial groups are very much social constructs rather than facts of genetics. If this is hard to grasp, it might help to think about other groups like Latinos or Arabs and how they are viewed in America. A person in these groups might look white but when someone finds out they are part of this group they are understood to be not white. Jews are historically viewed as a racialized other in most places in the world. This is very much true in American history even if we think of Jews here as having been accepted as white. Remember back when businesses had signs that no Black people were allowed, at the same period of time there were signs all over America at those same establishments saying no Jews allowed.
For context of my experience: I’m a Jewish woman with Ashkenazi heritage who looks pretty stereotypically Jewish but doesn’t wear anything that would identify that I’m Jewish. What this means is that if I’m in a place with a large Jewish community I’m typically read as Jewish. If I’m somewhere that people have rarely met Jews before then I’m read as white.
Here are fun things that happen when your patients read you as white:
- you get to listen to them say wildly antisemitic conspiracy theories and assume you agree and want to hear it
- you get to examine your patients and find their neonazi tattoos that they seem entirely unashamed for someone to see
- you get to debate whether to tell patients that you’re Jewish or to lie. For me because I work in an outpatient setting and know my patients for years, at some point when they ask what I’m doing for Easter or Christmas, I often do tell them I’m Jewish. And then unfortunately you get to deal with a myriad of responses ranging from “oh that’s ok dear, I don’t mind,” to a patient of mine who came into their next visit and handed me two typed pages explaining why the Jews faked the Holocaust so they could take over Palestine and how Jews love murdering babies (real experience I had).
-you get to do this same dance with coworkers. You get to have coworkers you considered friends say antisemitic things and feel betrayed.
This is not an experience of privilege. This is an experience of hiding. This is an experience of wondering how many patients who seem perfectly nice actually think vile things about you. It’s an experience of calculating if it’s safe to be open with patients or colleagues.
And over the last few years it’s also the experience of having people devalue the discrimination and pain that the Jewish community is experiencing. For non-Americans, Jews experience close to the greatest number of hate crimes in this country and by far the greatest compared to the size of our population. This is of course a global phenomenon but I know the US statistics and we’re discussing an American context so that’s what I am sharing. Despite this I watched the CEO of the healthcare organization I work for send out an email condemning every other type of racism. She sent an appropriate email after George Floyd was murdered calling out systemic racism. She sent an email calling out racism against Latinos in the wake of everything our government is trying to do. But after Bondi Beach there was an email saying that gun violence was bad and never once mentioning antisemitism. And after October 7th there was silence. Being a Jew at a progressive healthcare organization has meant going from feeling like part of a coalition of people with common purpose to understanding yourself to have become many of your coworkers favorite scapegoat for all the evil in the world.
Being Jewish in America right now, as with most of the diaspora, is to feel profoundly isolated. To calculate when it is safe to disclose being Jewish to people who read you as white (or for that matter who read you as solely Black or Asian as is the experience of two of my friends who are biracial and so are never read as Jewish).
I think when people watch the Pitt they think about how being a woman in medicine or a Black person in medicine shapes that experience, how it’s complicated to have power over patients as a physician but also to have them demean you with sexist comments or assumptions that you’re a nurse or a CNA.
But I’m not sure viewers think about what it’s like to be Jewish in medicine. How you listen to patients repeatedly say antisemitic things and assume you agree. How sometimes they do know you’re Jewish and say antisemitic things to your face. How you calculate constantly how to respond when patients start talking about Jesus and ask if you believe (which they do all the time because this is America and people are so upfront about their Christianity). It’s tiring and othering and the experience of patients and coworkers being bigoted against you contributes to burnout.
So when Robby is so much more comfortable in the room with Yana Kovalenko, yes that’s the comfort and ease of interacting with someone from the same culture, but it’s also the relief of possible the only interaction that day where you don’t wonder if your patient thinks you’re not quite human.

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

I've been seeing Facebook ads about "training like an assassin" and shit, and that sounds great! But that's not where I am. I am not at "do hand stand push ups and prepare to save the world." I'm at "the protagonist is recovering after a major set back and needs to train gently at first so as not to lose ground." I'm at "the protagonist needs to rebuild strength before attempting more ambitious training." And this is a very important framework.
The setback? Oh you know. Years of over aggressive physical training in the military. Extended periods of sedentary study. Even more extended periods of sedentary work and study. Having a kid and abdominal surgery. Being older.
But i am still going to kick the BBEG squarely in the nads when I finish this training montage.
why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her
First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.
