in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
happy first day of pride everyone
Cats getting caught doing crimes
it takes quite a bit of social intelligence for a creature to understand:
I know what I am doing is wrong
I know there is an activity that looks similar that is not wrong
If I am quick I can plausibly pass one off as the other
these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible âlieâ for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedienceâ some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.
the other day all my coworkers were talking about the various wack diets they're on and I went "nahhhh I'm on the Seafood Diet" and the lady next to me goes "oh, what's that?" and i was so shocked by actually getting a chance to deliver the punchline on that ancient gag that i barely even remembered to say it
9th doctor era was simply The Best One im sorry. shaved head leather jacket doc martins telling people to kill themselves. sweetie pea retail worker universal union organizer who became god for him. their stray cat horny little boytoy bottom who becomes an unkillable eldritch horror because of their love. did i mention the first guys a dilf and the other two have daddy issues.
So true, as much as I loved David Tennantâs run, I do really wish weâd gotten at least one more season with Eccleston. Honestly, a lot of the stories would probably work even better with Nine, especially with all the aristocracy he could butt heads with. Like, he would absolutely have been more legitimate disturbing to Queen Victoria and given her more motivation to found Torchwood than Ten was. He would have probably casually dropped some anti-monarchist stuff right to her face. And encountering Satan? This guy is only one regeneration from what he considers his greatest sin so I could see him having way more angst about encountering the alien who inspired the idea of the epitome of evil. And, you know, having his regeneration be the one to lose Rose in a conflict with the Daleks would have been way more poignant. And can you imagine how weird it would be for her to come back from the parallel Earth and find Ten and then to end up with the Metacrisis Doctor as her boyfriend despite him having a totally different face would be pretty funny. And if they extended the Bad Wolf narrative a bit to allow him to have to sacrifice his ninth life for hers while at the same time losing her forever (seemingy). Ugh. It would have worked so well.
I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted
If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)
There's more to do actually, now
go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999
additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm
also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false
note! this will limit video to 1080p
and use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/ to kill WebP Fuck Google

Obligatory truck I donât trust reblog
I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go âoh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!â and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say âitâs a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced caseâ and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it canât infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying âwell done, youâve been so brave, Iâm so glad youâre ok. I love you.â

How come semi trucks in Europe look like âtoot toot :)â and in North America they look like âHONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|â
âHenlo I am big twuck pwease give me wots of woom tank u :)â
âI WILL FUCKING PANCAKE YOUR CUCK ASSâ
@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags
This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.
Iâm sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.
American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.
The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.
So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.
To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, theyâre just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldnât be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.
I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which Iâm pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900âs, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen
As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.
As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, theyâre generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and youâll be fine.
I feel like somebody should add something about the Australian variants.
From my understanding of Australian wildlife:
Does anyone know if/how American School Busses are related to trucks?Â
Pics for reference:
The classic long-nose schoolbus
But short-nose varieties exist, I remember when they first started appearing in my district!
@dreorzen While school buses ARE in the automobile order, they are actually part of the Van family, not the Truck family, due to their passenger capacity. As you can see in the photos, they have no cargo bed or hookup, and are not really built for object transport. But they DO excel at carrying passengers, particularly children (although certainly not limited to just children)
Theyâre known to be exceptionally protective of any passengers, and if you look closely on that second image you can actually see a specialized appendage that is (I think) unique to school buses- a small, red, octagonal fan, which they extend when there are small creatures around them that they are acquiring or releasing. Much like an angler fishâs bioluminescent bulb appendage, this fan (along with several bioluminescent patches on top of their faces and on their hindquarters) works to mesmerize any other vehicles in close proximity, to where those vehicles will cease movement until the bus lowers the fan. Itâs super fascinating behavior, and little wonder why we trust our children to these gentle, protective giants.
Donât forget about the bus trucks.
While these vehicles can sometimes be bred by accident (after all, who hasnât accidentally left the gate open when your school bus is in season), they are usually bred for specific purposes.
These hybrids are bred for both their cargo capacity and their gentle temperments. Especially in a farm setting, thereâs a need for many different kinds of vehicles, some of which sometimes donât get along. Having a vehicle with both the strength and capacity of a large work truck with the amiable nature of a school bus can be a real benefit.
Itâs a little unfortunate that these hybrids tend to be sterile, though, since it would be easier if theyâd breed true. Also, something to keep in mind⊠bus trucks are bred from a bus.
Truck buses are bred from a truck and⊠tend to not be quite as useful as bus trucks, although some people do like keeping truck buses for companionship and as show vehicles.
This website sucks I love it
why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens donât lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead
this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job
Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety?Â
âOh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.âÂ
Iâm not asexual but Iâm fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sexâŠ
I mean.Â
âWHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.â
âFUCKER THEY SAID THEY HAVE FETTUCCINE CARBONARA AND HOT GARLIC BREAD OVER THERE HANG ON BITCH.âÂ

Iâm paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
The Sensory Relief of Tumblr I never liked YouTube as a viewer. My opinion changed slowly over the past few years and I thought Iâd try to create a slow, diary-type channel, just fragments of daily life. Big mistake. Even as a quiet, back-street "slow channel" or an isolated Booktuber from the sticks, you are judged so much on neurotypical behavior. Youâre judged on how your bedroom looks, whether someone likes your random 90s pop culture posters, how you speak, how you look, or how old you are. Nothing new in that. But on YouTube, itâs magnified to horrifying levels. The first thing you learn is that people expect you to host or entertain. They donât understand the "Iâm sharing something" vibe. To them, itâs just an act. A chosen image. But more than that: itâs the noise decibels. Everything screams long and loud. Thereâs no easy way to be "quiet" on YouTube. Even when youâre saying, "I am not performing for the algorithm," people think youâre being defensive, edgy, or moody. Youâre a punk rocker stuck in a locked cupboard. You have to play by the rules to be let out. If you donât hook people in the first five seconds, YouTube likely wonât push you. And when they donât push you, itâs harder to be found by anyone. Itâs a lonely place to find connection. And yes, some people do YouTube or any other social media platform to try and find their tribe. Meanwhile, Iâd forgotten about Tumblr. I can become so hyper-focused on one thing that I didnât even think Tumblr was a thing anymore. It seems it absolutely is. Now, Iâm not saying that Tumblr doesnât share social media issues or that everything is perfect and wonderful. But the contrast is so noticeable. Thereâs poetry here. There are quiet people who want to be quiet and are still part of things. Marginalized people have their posts appreciated and form communities. Some stay away from the social side of things but feel at home. And itâs one of the few places left on the internet where you arenât boxed in by one subject. On Flickr, you post and comment about photos. On YouTube, itâs video or podcasts. On TikTok, itâs the power of the short. On Tumblr, you can go from a homemade doodle of a trans couple, to beautiful poetry, to lo-fi photography, to a kitten sleeping on a bed. Scrolling around feels more tactile, grounded, sensory, and safe. A four-second video clip of raindrops bouncing quietly on a cottage roof; the quiet, rhythmic clank of an old steam train; a monochrome image of interesting reflections or shadows. Writers, poets, dreamers, activists, outsiders, insiders, young, old, everybodyall mixed up in this timeless capsule of self-reflection and expression. Shame on me for forgetting it existed.
A+ weird little dude, but I'm equally fascinated by the choice of music.

I donât have to search anymore.Â
