Your most important survival skill is asking for help
Goddamn preach this
"Your most important survival skill is asking for help." THIS, it makes me so damn pissed off when parents try and normalize that asking for help is a taboo thing!
This feels important to reblog
Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS
Give the bible thicc sheep.
did he really fall victim to the alt right pipeline or was he already insufferable and just looking for ways to justify his behavior
24 reblogs and 164 likes...people know the truth but fear sharing it. 1 reblog = 1 AMEN
if any of y'all newbies start complaining abt dumb shit thats not that deep & totally normal for this webbed site i'm going to explode u all with my mind so hard. pls remember that this isnt twitter. you are on [tumblr] now and you will follow our rules.......or perish <3
Tumblr is an unholy hellscape of bullshit, insanity, and absurdity- Don't try to fucking dilute it to suit your tastes because our particular brand of poison is lethal in even the smallest doses.
I fucking hate that I have to exist.
Oh god, I just aged several years in a single second, a friend of mine sent me a snippet from a fic that read someone put a VHS into a VCR and took so long getting back to it to press play that the menu screen had looped multiple times
every time I think maybe I am putting too much effort into researching the details of technological advances I lived through, something like this crosses my dash
For the young whippersnappers who don’t understand the issue, VHS tapes don’t have menu screens. That is not technologically possible on a tape.
A magnetic tape works because information has been magnetically encoded on the tape. The tape is very long, and is wound around two little spools, one at the end, one at the beginning. In the middle is a part where it is flat and there is a thing called a ‘head’ and it reads the magnetic encoding on the bit of the tape next to it and converting it into sound and/or images. When the tape plays, the little spools wind/unwind so that new sections of tape are constantly being run past the head. Every single thing a VCR can do is a function of controlling which part of the tape is next to the head.
You put the tape in the machine and press play on the machine, and it plays. You press stop and it stops. You press play again and it starts playing right where it left off, because while it’s stopped the tape is not moving past the head. You can pause it instead of stop it, which will leave the frame you paused on on the TV (in contrast to stopping, when the screen goes dark). You can fast forward, and it will wind the tape forward towards the end. You can rewind and it will wind the tape back to the beginning.
in my experience it usually played automatically on being fed a tape, and you had to pause or stop it to prevent this, which was awkward sometimes when the tv volume turned out to be set way too high
unless of course the tape hadn't been rewound before being taken out last time. then, unless auto-rewind was a feature of the VCR in question, you had to push that button first to get back to the start so the movie was watchable.
also if you wanted it to rewind quickly instead of playing the entire film backwards, silently, at maybe double speed, you pushed 'stop' first and it lifted the tape away from the reader to respool at speed.
#reminds me of the fic#where they went to great lengths to make it clear pictures were being taken on film
#and then someone took the camera away and 'looked through the pictures'#to see what they were of and if they were Forbidden Content#and then gave the camera back like no harm had been done and i'm like
#so she...didn't rip the film out and ruin it? then what just happened?
#OH. OH THIS CHILD HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED. NOT DIGITAL.
Now that I have processed this somewhat, here's some other tidbits:
Tapes had no mandatory ads at the front. Oh, sure, there often were ads at the front, but there was no way to prevent just fast forwarding through them.
For the busy among us who wanted to watch a film while another was rewinding, separate tape rewinding devices were sold.
Tape rental places would ask you to "please be kind, rewind!" and some places charged a rewinding fee if you didn't.
Music was affected by the jump from tapes to disc, too! I remember it blowing my mind that CDs could replay a track instantly, instead of me having to memorize how long it took to rewind a tape to play back a tune.
Both VCRs and music tape players would occasionally break and "eat" the tape, which meant an unspooled, destroyed tape and having to take the player apart to free the tape from it. Sometimes the player could be fixed afterwards, and sometimes it couldn't.
Sometimes if you played the same portion of a tape over and over, it would lead to tape degradation: distorted video and audio, or even the tape snapping and having to get a new one. (I did this to at least one Disney movie - don't remember which - and one soundtrack.)
Adjusting the tracking! I don't remember how this physically works but if the video is jumping around, sometimes you would have to adjust it so the VCR reads the tape correctly. Looks like there's some how-to guides out there on the Internet on how to do this. Usually there was a button on the remote to do this.
Some VCRs were extra fancy and had digital clocks built into them. After a power outage, they would reset to 12:00 and flash. Adjusting the clock was a strange and mysterious process that a lot of folks never got the hang of, so their VCRs just had 12:00 flashing on them at all times.
I think I just aged 10,000 years from this post
For manual rewinding (either to fix one that had been eaten or just to go back) a pen/pencil was a great tool for cassettes, and I had decent luck with a spoon on VHS, though they tended to have a lot more resistance to being manually rewound.
Fun, someone said the words “prior authorizations” around me and now I’m pissed off at 730am on my day off. I go off on this rant all the time. ALL THE TIME.
Oof. This man gets it.
Every time I have to send a fax to a doctor saying “hey this med needs a PA” I get violently angry.
Hint: if your PA gets denied call your insurance and ask for the credentials of the person who made that call. Usually they will approve it instead of admitting they hired some 18-year-old with no relevant training or experience to scan for buzz-words and just deny everything

having adhd is sooo fun because i get to experience malicious boredom. it's like normal boredom, but it hates u personally and wants to harm u
it's even more fun when you have comorbidities. Because then you get to play the hit new game show "Am I understimulated, burnt out, or going through a depressive episode?" and if you lose your mental health deteriorates and if you win your mental health deteriorates and you know why
"Am I understimulated, burnt out, or going through a depressive episode?"
Yes.
Wait actually I’m interested. What is a tattoo that you want to get?

Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.

are we really doing this

The implication that these people think “human” doesn’t include nonbinary people is telling.
Friendly reminder that the words man and woman are not related in English. As in, woman did not take the word man and add ‘wo’ to it.
Man started out as werman in old English, and woman started out as wīfman. The ‘man’ bit in both of these words means person. The ‘wer’ bit in werman gave us words like ‘werewolf’ - literally man-wolf. The ‘wīf’ part eventually became the word ‘wife’. Over time the word man lost the ‘wer’ bit and the word ‘wīfman’ eventually morphed into the word woman.
This is a linguistics speed run, but it’s why those terfy things with the word man crossed out are so ridiculous to me. Like where they go “woman” “human” etc. Because they love to ignore that the word man existing in any context is not a threat to them.
They even did this to cities like Manchester, England, claiming that the word ‘man’ in Manchester referred to men. It actually refers to breasts. The river Irwell in Manchester used to be known to the Celts as ‘Mamm’, meaning breast and probably relating to a river goddess. The Romans got there, asked the locals what they call it, and then added ‘castrum’, for fort. As the Romans built a fort down in modern day Castlefield. Mammcastrum became Manchester over time.
So yeah, I don’t even trust benign popular feminist ‘activism’ that goes around performatively removing the word man from things, because most often, it has nothing to do with the gender of man, and it just a word that happens to include those three letters. Yknow. Instead of helping vulnerable women, TERFs love to pretend they’re doing something smart by editing words with man in them.
Ramble over but that’s my ten cents
all very good info but can we go back to the part where Manchester means BREAST FORT???!
“I’m from Titcastle, what about you?”
Genuinely terrified for the safety of me and my fellow trans women
#The framing of an innocent trans woman for the mass shooting in Texas is going to get people hurt
they’re going WHAT now
Starting with 4chan and Kiwifarms, people began sharing the images of a trans teenager (who is still alive and is not a Texan) claiming it was the shooter
Now you have congressmen and Candace Owens and Infowars all parroting it as if it were fact, while trans organizations are trying to do their best to protect the girl in question and prevent the lie from being spread
If you're trans, be safe, if you're cis, protect your trans comrades, because a trans girl was assaulted in El Paso in direct connection to these lies.
The absolute fuck has to be broken in your soul (or spirit, essence, self, or whatever fits) that you see a tragedy like this and think "Hmmmm, how can I use this as a weapon against people who are already facing constant persecution, trouble, and pain? How can I spin these dead kids into an antitrans talking point?"
Just fucking evil.
