Welcome to the world of Random!

No ascetic for this blog. It’s essentially just stuff I feel like posting so have fun keeping up with that. I understand that people have different viewpoints than mine so I’m respectful of that. Please be too. DONT BE RUDE! Also I post a lot of cute animal and wholesome stuff. And fandom whenever it comes across my page! Good luck! :)

quick reminder that blizzard straight up attempted to censor and punish someone for raising awareness about the insane human rights violations currently going on in Hong Kong and you should not give them a fucking penny

i don't care how much you love diablo, wow or overwatch, they want you to forget about the blitzchung incident

for the love of god hold them accountable for what they did

fuck blizzard.

For everyone’s situational awareness: I took the steps to unsubscribe from all games and get my account deleted.

When Blizzard support denied all usual methods for this and then demanded Gov’t photo ID, I complied with a heavily redacted image of my drivers license, showing my full name and face, along with the explanation that I am not allowed to send photo of my actual Gov’t CAC as that is against Navy security regulation.

Blizzard denied my request for deletion, again, AFTER I sent them the ID, and have not responded to any of my follow up tickets and emails.

In contrast, just cleaning up old accounts, I was able to get my Riot account deleted with no ID submission and maximum professionalism and helpfulness from Riot Games.

Blizzard is absolutely terrified of losing their money base after showing that they have aligned themselves with a murderous totalitarian regime. Don’t let up, don’t give them money, and don’t let them forget.

A lot of people seem to attribute America’s touch-starved culture to Puritan standards of conduct but I think it was the opposite. I think ever since we became so sex-crazed suddenly you can’t even put an arm around someone’s shoulder without that being seen as “putting the moves on” meanwhile Puritan children could openly call their fathers “daddy” and no one batted an eye so like…who’s the real culprit in “no one’s allowed to touch because touch is sexual” here?

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

[deadmomjokes]

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

[rootbeermolecule]

if you guys want to read academic papers but they’re behind a paywall, get the chrome extension Unpaywall. when you visit a site that requires you pay for their journal to view the article, the extension will look for other open access sites that will show you the article for free, and it’s all completely legal. all that money goes to the publisher, the writer of the paper gets none of it. https://unpaywall.org

If you can find out an author’s name, contact them. They may be willing to email it to you.For free.

Reblog to save a life

Philospapers does this for philosophy.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

[lunar-resonance]

things I’ve said that my students have found funny:

You’re not allowed to die in this classroom

If you yeet any of the lab equipment across the room, you will be yeeted to the principal’s office

[on how old I am]: I lost count after a few thousand years

whenever they do an online lab: this is better than fortnite isn’t it

[to a student, upon realizing they completed their practice problems all wrong]: that’s a rip in the chat

If it wasn’t for strong force holding your atoms together your matter would disintegrate away like when Thanos snapped his fingers

In the event that the sun does blow up, the good thing is light takes seven minutes to travel from the sun so you wouldn’t see the explosion coming to incinerate you

[to two students who love to get under each other’s skin]: this is your lane (I traced a circle around their desk) and that is yours (as I traced a circle around their desk) stay in them

You’d probably turn into spaghetti if you went into a black hole but it wouldn’t the edible kind

[when checking in on groups] is everything gucci

[a student asks me if I could look something up on my computer when I’m taking attendance]: I don’t know what the internet is

[personthatdoesstuffs]

We think history is so far removed from us, but sometimes I’m reminded how very close we are to each other on the timeline.

My paternal grandfather was born in 1906 (I have older parents). He and my grandmother came through Ellis Island.

My vocal coach’s grandparents survived the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake and fire. 

My great-grandfather lived to the age of 106. He often spoke of how strongly he remembered his nursemaid’s taffeta skirts rustling as she walked when he was a child. He was born in the 1870s. My grandmother recorded him on video in the 1980s talking about those Victorian bustle skirts he grew up with.

On my mother’s side, we tracked down a marriage record for her 17th-century English ancestors, their signatures still crystal-clear and confident on the yellowed parchment. The church where they were married still stands in London.

Samuel J. Seymour was born in 1860 and at age five, he witnessed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Almost 100 years later, at age 96, he went on live television and recounted his firsthand account of the death of the president. You can watch the interview here.

The last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, died in 2009. 

The oldest person ever, Jeanne Calment, lived to age 122. She died in 1997 after recording a pop album, the same year The Spice Girls were topping the charts; but she remembered that as a child, Vincent Van Gogh once visited her father’s paint shop. 

It’s easy to think of history as abstract, black and white, theoretical. But do some digging–you’ll probably find that it’s within arm’s reach.

[weepycat]

[weepycat]

one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is that “bad words” just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think ‘fuck you’ is a terrible insult

so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die i’d shrug it off but if i opened a post’s tags and saw “op i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pasta” do you know how shaken i’d be? do you know how upset i’d be if i saw “op is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Scene™ for no reason”

[zmyaro]

So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?

[feywildwest]

I sincerely hope so but I can’t say I’m familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few

[gallusrostromegalus]

My Personal favorite is:

“May all your teeth fall out, except for one, to give you a toothache.”

[captainlordauditor]

“OP is a complete onion.” (their head is in the ground)

“I hope I have the privilege of sewing your shroud” is another one I like.

[antongarou]

“May you have a hundred houses, with a hundred bedrooms each, and ten beds in each room. And may the plague throw you from one bed to the other”

“May your death be sweet. Run over by a truck full of sugar”

“May everyone congratulate your widow at your funeral”

[morgeysplace]

The plague doctors that the media has made really is the pinnacle of clothing. and its so sad to see what actual plague doctors were like

[morgeysplace]

Mysterious, Sleek, Smooth. You’d wear this to both a fancy ballroom party and a night at the closest bar.

Nasty sewer boy, gross child

[pallidusio]

Before and after fighting the plague

[meangirlnurse]

one of my favorite things in Brooklyn Nine Nine is when you can tell the writers were like “you know, Andre Braugher is an extremely talented Shakespearean actor who graduated top of his class at Juilliard…..what if we took advantage of that for our sitcom”

Wearing a suit that fits makes the world of difference.

Or watch an informative video on it. (source)

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

It’s a scientific fact that a well fitted suit raises your hotness levels by 1000%.

Strong Monty python vibes

[kristina100000]

a lot of people to this day think that a professional ice skater did those skating scenes from i, tonya (2017) but it was all margot robbie… she literally trained five days a week for five months and her skating coach was astonished with her progress AND SHE DIDNT EVEN GET NOMINATED FOR HER ROLE like her 3D head scans were taken and then were superimposed on her doubles’ faces when they skated close to the camera but for someone to train 5 times a week for 5 months… SHE HAS THE RANGEEEE

[queenrinacat]

margot robbie apparently got a herniated disc in her neck during training for this role, but didn’t notice until a week into shooting when her arms started going numb??? margot robbie also practically became a fucking gymnast for the role of harley quinn, doing the scene where she runs up the sides and ceiling of an elevator in heels on her own without a harness.
