AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.

[australian-government-deactivat]

i’d never die

[verylargetomato-deactivated2021]

but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day

[deactivated01847192184-deactiva]

imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together

[sadgaywerewolf]

imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal

[airtrafficcontroller]

holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever

[enlistedjess-deactivated2017010]

What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.

[dissypoo]

This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate

[rainyfrogs]

okay but you guys dont realize the potential.

imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.

Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.

Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.

imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.

imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time. 

imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.

imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”

imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.

imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation

imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.

i could go on for hours.

[the-anime-man]

imagine immortal aromantics/asexuals

[geekygoddess30-deactivated20201]

[outlanderalien]

I love this concept because it implies that in this world ageing is celebrated and desired instead of resisted. Imagine beauty standards in this world, grey hair is proudly undyed, every new wrinkle is considered beautiful or elegant.

Imagine the romantic implications as well, that finding your soul mate and being with them, means you effectively agree to become mortal, and therefore agree to die just to be with them.

Imagine someone who has many friends, but struggles to find their soul mate, and gradually watches all of their friends grow old and die happy with their partners.

Imagine two best friends who are the same age, but find their soulmates at different times, so now one likes to pretend they’ve lived longer and are older and wiser while poking fun at their “silly naive” young friend. (e.g. “oh you younguns wouldn’t understand, it was before your time” “we are literally the same age”)

[incendiaglacies]

@agentmarymargaretskitz this is like the jackpot of soulmate tropes!!!

This Cop Bought A Struggling Dad A Car Seat Instead Of Issuing Him A Ticket

“A citation or ticket is not always the solution to somebody’s problems.”

[flawful-ish]

that’s a good police person

[knitmeapony]

Can you I.M.A.G.I.N.E if one of the powers of the police was the ability to spend X dollars to help out someone who was breaking the law because they couldn’t afford not to.

Cars get fixed.  Kids get clothes so they can go to school.  Houses get repaired.

Can you imagine what it would be like if cops were trained and empowered to respond to need with compassion.  If we cared more about the ‘serve’ in ‘to serve and to protect’.  If this wasn’t news because it’s just what cops do.

[catfemme-deactivated20240817]

So was anyone gonna tell me that the cancellation of Invader Zim led to ATLA's creation or was I supposed to find that out from the tv tropes website at 2 in the morning

[firelxrdazula]

idk why do firebenders lose their bending during the day of black sun but dont lose their bending at night like thats also dark bitch wtf

[firelxrdazula]

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

I don’t think it’s just the darkness I think it has something to do with the blocking of the sun spirit’s energy something something magic something moon something. Like how Katara is a more powerful bender depending on the moon and the tides. Plus I’m pretty sure firebenders tend to be weaker at night, but not completely powerless.

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

Firebenders are strongest during the day because of the energy they get from the sun.

Waterbenders get their energy from the moon and their power rises and falls with the tides/lunar phases.

An eclipse is a big ball of water energy covering a big ball of fire energy, meaning the moon is 2x strong against the sun.

[theaustinstollhaus]

Firebenders don’t lose their power at night because moonlight is refracted sunlight.

[theaustinstollhaus]

Seriously, did no one think of this? When Iroh tells Zhao, “Don’t kill the moon spirit, we need it too” what did you think he meant?

[mageknight14]

Zhao was that much of a fucking idiot.

Hungry Hungry Beholders

So we’re traveling along a road when we come across a cave with a bunch of scared people coming out of it. We talk to them. Long story short there is a Beholder in there.

We make our way into the cave when we hear a voice:

Beholder: WHO DARES ENTER HERE?

The Bard, unprompted: Room service!

The party, who was trying to sneak: Oh gods…

The DM: *rolls dice* Are you kidding me… *slams head onto table* what’d you get…?

The Bard, with a shit-eating grin: 31

The DM: Fine! The Beholder thinks you’re room service. How exactly do you plan to feed him?

The cleric: I CAST HEROES FEAST!

The DM:*slams head again* ok, you feed the Beholder. He’s so satisfied that he vanishes. There, are you happy now!?!

Bard and Cleric: *fistbump*

Minimum Wage should be indexed to 2% of a city’s median rent.

And here’s why:

Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source

If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.

Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.

Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.

And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:

Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.

And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.

So when you do the math, the ideal hourly minimum wage as a percentage of rent works out to around 1.875%, which for ease of calculation is 2%.

[crunchbuttsteak]

Example minimum wages under a 2% rent rule:

San Francisco: $67.40/hr

New York City: $56/hr

Boston: $55.94/hr

Los Angeles: $27/hr

Houston: $21.38/hr

St. Louis: $18.22/hr

Billings, MT: $17.16/hr

[medusasstory]

I. That puts San Fran’s cost-of-living issue into perspective.

if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you won’t find a sense of purpose, you won’t find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, you’ll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing you’re a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase “blood for oil.”

[lofijazz]

They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isn’t doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.

[mens-rights-activia]

Read this thread if you wanna know what the military does to people

[thejusticethatissocial]

I also recommend the podcast What a Hell of a Way to Die, which is by two men who joined the military very young, (one of them was 17) and then became very leftist socialists after seeing it for what it really is. They cover a lot of topics like anti imperialism, military propaganda, fascism, and talk about all if it from a perspective I haven’t heard before.

They did an episode about this topic pretty recently, titled Recruiting 16-Year-Olds: Patriotic Child Grooming.

[bogleech]

It’s a sad upsetting subject to be on my blog but one I want to boost. Military service ruins more lives than it can ever protect and veterans have among the highest rates of homelessness and suicide. They will not take care of you once you cease to be useful.

Bisexuals were essentially accused of murdering women via HIV in the 80s, either because we were intentionally duplicitous or because we were out of control maniacs who couldn’t resist unsafe sex. For many people of that generation, this was their first time hearing about bisexuals. Now folks want to pretend that didn’t influence today’s perception of bisexuality. 

[tvmarin]

I think bi is dead. More pan. I love all.

[verilybitchie]

I rest my case.

[roomba-with-knives-taped-to-it]

Bi= loving all genders but in different percentages like liking women 60% men 30% and others 10%

Pan= love with no factorization of gender

Bi is a valid sexuality and if you don’t agree I’ll fight you to the death

So hey you know how the whole Bode meme came from somebody’s dream in which they saw a tumblr meme from the future with no context? And how they assumed it was short for ‘foreboding’ or something, but that doesn’t even make sense because there’s no bode in foreboding? This is the actual origin of that prophetic vision.

[yahooentertainment]

lmao😂/smh🙄

[freedomjusticewarrior]

Eli Bosnick had the best response to this ridiculousness.

“If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?”

“Are the other skittles human lives?”

“What?”

“Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?”

“Well sure. But the point-”

“I would eat the skittles.”

“Ok-well the point is-”

“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.

Because your REAL question…the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN…

… and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question… is yes?”

Averaged Faces of Members of the 116th United States Congress

[upontheshelfreviews]

There’s a hidden level of brilliance in this moment:

Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death.

Sound like anyone else from this movie?

[ketchuprocket]

Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio’s Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. 

After years of success, he eventually opened his canning facility, opened his restaurant “Il Giardino d’Italia” in New York, and helped feed the Allies during the war. Everyone always glazes over this part of his life, especially the Cleveland part. He lived here. He DIED here. He’s BURIED HERE. My mother took care of him at the nursing home she worked for in her early 20′s when he was ailing and spoke of nothing but the kindness he and his family radiated when they were there. Chef Boiardi was an immigrant with a dream and was always there to help those in need, because he knew what it was like to be in that position. Never let that go.   

[jabberwockypie]

I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting.

“Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly.“

And if you have a name that isn’t “standard” in America, that is a Mood.

op i wish only the most wonderful things in your life.
