whenever i see some shady-as-hell infographic about how cheap it is to eat healthy it’s like… do you people know about mac and cheese? like why are you comparing everything to big macs when mac and cheese exists. a box of super cheap mac and cheese costs about forty cents. for a buck you can get enough margarine to make eight boxes of mac and cheese. a half-gallon of milk is like a buck fifty and that’s sixteen boxes of mac and cheese. so like $3.20 for mac and cheese plus $1 for margarine plus $1.50 for milk and now you have about sixteen meals (assuming two meals to a box) with enough milk left over for a box of cereal that you probably also got for $1. $6.70 and you’re set for the week. another two bucks will get you a loaf of white bread and a jar of peanut butter, another variation on the continuing theme of eating nothing but carbs and fat. that’s the fucking baseline you’ve got to compete with if you’re going to convince me that it’s fiscally feasible for someone who’s broke as shit to switch to a healthy diet, not the goddamn dollar menu.

here we have a collage that i like to call “feel free at any time to stop trying to tell me my numbers are wrong on this, a post about my life and experiences and the way i feel when i see some asshole trying to imply that i eat garbage because i’m a bad-at-math can’t-cook dumbass blindly shoveling burgers in my mouth, and not because i have a spreadsheet tabulating the per-plate and per-trip costs of different meals and my cost-benefit analyses have found garbage to be the cheapest thing i can eat that won’t result in me going into a fugue state and spending bill money on pizza because i’m so goddamn tired of vegan beans and rice”

it is not a very good name but it is also not a very good collage

I want gay cafés

Like gay bars except no drunk people or loud music, instead there’s coffee and cinnamon buns and pleasant conversations

cryztalgemz-deactivated20150904

see? this is what we need

a non-alcoholic, non-sexual space for LGBT groups that is inclusive to younger people

kurtwagnermorelikekurtwagnerd

Kinda weird that this doesnt exist actually

idlehands013

Why are we not funding this?? Can it be open 24/7 too? Cuz sometimes reading at a cafe at 3 in the morning, surrounded by my fellow gays, is exactly what I need in my life

phatchanz

I am for this, though I just want a comfortable cafe to read in at 3am.

Well played Tumblr.

Watch: Stephen Colbert went to visit Jon Stewart — and then brought back “Stephen Colbert” to rip on Trump

If Sanders doesn’t get the nomination, and you can’t see yourself voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, then don’t. Vote third party.

Consider the Libertarian or Green Party.

Don’t feed the establishment by voting for Clinton, and don’t feed authoritarian isolationism by voting for Trump.

provendermalkin

No. The absolute largest chunk of people considering changing their votes at the moment are disappointed non-conservatives. There was barely any competition among republicans; from the get-go, the voter base united behind Trump. If non-conservatives split their votes across multiple fronts, they WILL lose.

Voting third party in America throws your vote directly into the garbage. Our system does not work like Australia’s. You don’t get a second or third choice, and candidates who win aren’t going to look at the numbers and say “I see 25% of Americans voted Green, I should implement Green policies.” That’s not how it works. Conservative voters overwhelmingly back a single party, the GOP, while non-conservative voters are the ones that scatter across multiple, weak fronts when faced with an unappealing Democratic party nominee. Think about it like this:

The majority of Republican voters support Trump and are not changing their vote even though party leaders and figureheads are universally decrying him. They’ve been groomed for decades by the GOP to be this way, and now party leaders have lost control of the impressionable voter base they created for themselves. There’s nothing they can do about it at this point. While a small number of Republicans can and are switching parties, it’s not very much. Meanwhile, Democrats are floundering, trying to decide which front to unite under. Some of them go to the Green party or Libertarians, sure; the rest stay with the Democratic party in the hopes that even with people leaving, they will have enough to block Trump. But Trump doesn’t need a majority of total Americans to vote for him; he only needs more than the other candidates have. Do you understand what I’m saying? Trump could get 10% of the vote, but as long as no other party has more than 10%, he still wins. The second you split the left and middle across three or four fronts, the right seizes control. This is how it goes down every single fucking time we go through this.

The other thing to consider is that the electoral college is NOT going to weigh in favor of a third party. Doing so would be political suicide. They are paid to vote certain ways, and not doing so would fuck up their careers. Even if an entire state votes in favor of a third party, the electoral college is going to vote for whichever primary party matches up the closest, and sometimes not even that. Their votes are counted when making the actual choice of president; ours are not. They proved that with Gore. The majority of Americans voted for him; the electoral college installed Bush anyway and told us to suck it up. The question at this point is whether they’d risk it a second time, and we have to hope that they won’t, which is why we have to unite under a single front to block Trump.

barefootindecember

^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!! People do not understand that under our plurality system, it doesn’t matter if the majority of the population doesn’t vote for Trump. As long as he has more than any of the other candidates, he wins. Splitting up the more liberal voters is now what non-Trump supporters want to do.

DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE, PLEASE! GOP is gonna vote Trump, they won’t vote for a 3rd party person. That means a solid voting bloc. Dem who split the vote are in essence giving him a free vote. HILARY WITH ALL HER FAULTS IS STILL BETTER THAN TRUMP!

GOD DAMNIT YALL BETTER NOT SPLIT THE DEM VOTES

This is how the Conservative Party in the UK won the last election with less than 40% of the overall vote!!!! Don’t do it America!

NOT splitting the vote is how Canada snagged this magical unicorn man in the last election. Basically everyone I know voted strategically, even if it was against their party, to ensure that Harper’s crusty conservative ass was kicked the hell out. Personally I waffle between the Green Party and the NDP politically, but I sure as heck voted Liberal last election.

sussexbound

I am getting really fed up with people saying that they don’t have to choose the lesser of two evils, and so they’re going to follow their conscience and vote for a third party. Well, I hope your conscience is okay with you voting Trump, because if you vote third party at this point, and Trump gets in, then that is exactly what you did, and you’ve been told this repeatedly prior to the election. So, when the whole country goes to shit, I’ll be looking at you as well as the Republicans. Any vote other than a Democratic vote is a Republican one, at this point.

REBLOGGING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

Reblogging again mostly for the “magical unicorn man” comment, but also because it’s really really important.

That is indeed how we got Trudeau - we swallowed our pride and voted strategically. In Canada, the political right is basically the Conservatives, whereas the left is split between the Liberals, the NDP, and the Green Party. Most of us NDP/Greens switched alliances last October, because for all his faults, Trudeau had the best chance of beating Harper - and TRUST ME, we wanted his ass GONE.

It’ll be the same in the US in November. Clinton isn’t great, but she is unquestionably better than Trump. Please, PLEASE vote strategically! The rest of the world is counting on you!

Quality post

Went on brunch date with the boy. Consumed mimosas of the pomegranate variety and then went bowling. Chilled at mi casa for an hour, he gave me a kiss and then left to go to work.

Result: he’s a super chill dude, but I’m definitely not into him that way. I tried, but no spark for me. I’m not really surprised though. I mean, I’m pretty gay (I hate labels though, so I don’t really identify as anything in particular. I’m weird, I know).

The odd attraction to men is super rare and usually fizzles out after the first kiss, if not sooner.

I don’t know how to let him down. I’m not used to dating, period. This is all new to me :/

Trump Against Humanity takes a famously inappropriate card game and makes it yuge

The concept behind Trump Against Humanity is relatively straightforward. It takes the Cards Against Humanity model and simply replaces the sentences with actual things Trump has said.
