YOU THERE! RECENT FOLLOWER WITH NO PROFILE PICTURE. CAN YOU PASS THE TURING TEST

do other countries do the whole “leaving furniture you want gone on the curb for other people to just grab” or is that an american thing

The Dutch do it and it's called The King's Gift, but when Brits do it, taking the stuff is actually a crime called, wait for it, Theft By Finding.

As someone who lives in Britain, it's only Theft By Finding if it's not explicitly stated to be abandoned; because you are expected to assume that the item might be lost, be there temporarily for whatever reason, etc. and therefore try to locate the owner to confirm if it is safe to take it. Due to this, at least where I live, most people who are dumping stuff on the side with the intention of giving it away put signs on the stuff so it's very clearly out there TO BE TAKEN and therefore would not be illegal to take, as it is explicitly stated to be abandoned.

I've had several pretty decent tables come from taking stuff off the side of the road that have a flimsy piece of paper taped to it with "FREE. PLEASE TAKE." written on it in crude sharpie, lmao

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

I once bought a parmesan cheese that refused to melt... it stayed gritty and made me very sad despite boiling it U_U

Yeah a lot of the time shredded/grated/shaved parm is often faked. They'll use a similar tasting cheese and mislabel it and sell as parm, and often that kind of cheese just doesnt melt the same.

I however have no excuse as I know I bought a whole wedge of good parm and just fucked it over completely. I KNOW how to make Alfredo... but I didnt have all the right ingredients and went ahead anyway OTL.... note:

DONT use half a bottle of heavy cream and half a bottle of halfNhalf instead of milk

DONT use the same pan you cooked sausage in without washing it first

DONT chop the parm because you dont have a cheese grater. buy a cheese grater.

And most of all

DONT go "Fuck it we Ball" and keep cooking the sauce in hopes it will cream. it wont. cut your losses and just use the split sauce. otherwise you will have No Sauce and have wasted a whole wedge of cheese and a whole pack of noodles

its crazy that megan thee stallion is not considered a queer artist by some people. the woman is not shy about the fact that she finds women attractive and likes having sex with them. she references it pretty frequently in her music, she made a whole song about enjoying having threesomes with a woman and a man, she made a Jennifer's Body-themed music video, she had Victoria Monét full riding her thigh on stage at a coachella, and there's literally a video of a lesbian interviewing glorilla at a party & asking who she would date if she was queer and her immediate response is "megan. megan like girls!" and then megan turns around and immediately starts flirting with the interviewer. i don't know what more you want. that woman is Bi Sexual and we should all be thankful every day for that. bi women are still bi when they wanna fuck men too you know. the fucking of men is also done bisexually.

I really wonder what the demographic outcome would be of trans people involuntarily getting "the body you'd have if practicality wasn't a concern" like what percentage of the resulting bodies would be obviously nonhuman?

"oh food now has so much added to it, past food was so pure and untainted" victorians used to cut bread with chalk and aluminum powder. romans put lead in the wine, which was made from dirty feet mushing unwashed grapes covered in horse shit and road dust. i think our species will survive a few additives in food. our food systems have never been cleaner and safer. it has room for improvement, but we're not putting fucking plaster of paris in the milk

kirabug-tumbles

But also this is why when someone suggests we cut the regulation of food the answer is to slap them as hard as possible. We didn’t write those regulations to fuck with companies that cared about consumers. We wrote those regulations because someone had already filled our food with poisons to save money and someone will do it again in a heartbeat.

Regulations are written in blood.

Make sure it’s not yours.

duuuuuude you have GOT to come out tonight we're enacting cruelty upon those who have transgressed so badly that we can justify any act against them... and you KNOW we're interpreting our delight as moral righteousness... Yeah it's fucking crazyyyyyyy get an Uber

I want all animals to become sapient enough to produce art specifically because I want to see what sort of sex homunculus caricature each species would create if given the ability to draw

phantomrose96

Like we've already got the anime waifu with the needle-waist and watermelon-bazonkas and borzoi-legs and bug-eyes. Now show me a fucked-up stupid beetle as drawn by a horny beetle. I want to see what a cartoonishly sexy lion looks like according to lions. I want to see the most ridiculous drawing of a peahen that would have the peacocks squaring up by the fountain.

We give this power to ostriches and they just start drawing people

You can actually see the bug version in some orchids. The orchid takes the bug's idea of "sexy" and makes a flower that attracts the males better than the actual female.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

were-writes

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.
