I was watching someone else play the new rhythm heaven game and I became so entranced with this little thing that I had to make it into a gif

Strictly speaking, "ultimate" means "last", not "best". It's often figuratively employed in the latter sense to suggest that the thing so described is the final word on the subject, after which nothing more need be said, but if we're being real technical, describing a game or movie that was so bad it killed its entire franchise as the "ultimate" is in fact correct.

Either way, no more Smash Bros.

[lazer-exe]

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

[plaidos]

trans men will literally see a mouse and eat it. and they’ll think that it’s a cute non-toxic display of masculinity when they joke about it 🙄

[plaidos]

the best colloquialism my friend group has is we use this as a reaction image and we call it gobkat

we say it all the time we're like "im gobkatting rn" and it sometimes slips out in conversation with people who dont know. like all the time actually that's how frequently we say gobkat.

[catgirl-kaiju]

really awesome how easy it is for tme queers to be uwu smol beans "cartoons can be for adults too!", but if ur tma engaging in childish interests and behaviors, or even simply showing too much weakness, can end up with you getting called a pedophile

[queermoths]

the tme need to all lives matter every single thing a trans woman or transfem does for her community is not new but it is vile every time it happens

[highcaliberhound]

one of the (many and increasingly stupid) reasons people refuse to stop calling trans women "dude" or "bro" or "mate" or otherwise referring to us in exclusively masculine terms is because they start wanting to do it more after we tell them not to. A trans woman's ability to be considered and seen as a "real" woman is often entirely dependent on how attractive others find us, and it turns out a lot of people find the establishment and enforcement of boundaries to be a supremely unattractive trait in a woman

why have we not had a nightmare time about charlotte sweetly i need more content about charlotte sweetly give me every tiny fact about charlotte sweetly NOW

[soup-mother]

"masculine role models" lol

[soup-mother]

"masculine role models" were a scam invented by men (who themselves are also a scam invented by men, it's complicated) to cement the patriarchal family as the only possible way to raise a child and justify keeping "fathers" around. It doesn't necessarily have to be a nuclear family, but kids *obviously* need some masculine influence to teach them it's not ok to be a woman. Otherwise they'd grow up soy.

Masculinity is a social pact that reproduces itself via violent enforcement and reinforcement between men and you should not be giving them any more victim-members or treating it as the natural way of the world.

Anyone who tries to convince you of some genuine psychological need for "masculine role models" in a kids life is a wacko gender shill trying to justify the patriarchy all the unimaginable horrors that come with it, and you should probably kick them in the shins.

[soup-mother]

> "Negative impact of lacking male role models/a father in childhood development"

> look inside

> 99% just the negative impacts of childhood poverty from being raised by a single mother

[goddessofthecomingjoy]

Literally no downsides to telling "men" to transition. Either We're helping a girl out, or pissing a man off.

Win-win

[melodies-stereo]

why are u 'campaigning' against a trans woman. like why. she's just one fucking person. i think you just hate her and want her dead.

Today in australia they started senate hearings on the bill the government hopes will make enough disabled people die or disappear to make us all less irritatingly expensive for them. We had two weeks to submit feedback on over 400 pages of complicated legal terms. They don't care what we have to say and they don’t care that this will kill people and disenfranchise disabled people across the country.

There are 760,000 Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the system that - if they feel like it and your personalised plan says you get to have it - provides funding for everything from personal hygiene care to support workers to therapies to assistive technology. It's already very hard for disabled people to get on the NDIS, regardless of your disability. It's near impossible to access most support and equipment without being on the NDIS. And the government has announced that they want that number to drop to 600,000 in four years. 160,000 of us cut off the Scheme - and countless more denied access. This will cause deaths. People will die and people will suffer because there is no safety net. The NDIS is the only option for most of us. Even private health insurance doesn't cover most of these things. Nobody will swoop in to save us.

The bill wants to give the (non disabled!) NDIS minister basically unlimited power to cut our funding. They're already planning what they'd do with that power. What rights they'll strip from us. What dignity and freedom they'll remove to make their budget look better.

The bill wants to force people to try every treatment out there before they're allowed to be on the NDIS. Including if the treatment is literally impossible to access. There’s a lot of us living in regional areas or out bush who can't just pop to the capital cities for specialists. This will especially hurt disabled First Nations people in regional and remote communities, who already experience limited access to healthcare. Oh, and it includes chemical restraint, too. The government has directly refused to exclude chemical restraint from the required process, calling it "trialling medication".

If you're australian and worried, the ABC did a good breakdown of the proposed changes.

I know australia stuff doesn't really pop up on the radar on this site, but I want everyone to know what's going on. What we're fighting for here. Your australian disabled friends might be NDIS participants fearing for their life, rights, and freedom. They might not be a participant and afraid these changes mean they never will have access. We deserve better. The government built a system with no backup plan, and now they want hundreds of thousands of disabled people to pay the price for their bad planning.

Sorry we're too expensive to have rights, I guess.

"Oh yeah, we have an outdoor Corgi, he just gets so bored cooped up inside all day. He knows to stay off the road. Don't worry, he's way too smart for coyotes and the neighbor's know to look out when they drive past."

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

It's 2026, "keep your damn pet in a house or in your view" should not be controversial

I had to go on a hunt for this but it was worth it. 100% agree

Stardew valley is problematic because it forces you to have an outside cat in a threatened woodland environment

there are so many lines in I Saw The TV Glow that go so hard. "there is still time" is the one everyone talks abt, understandably. but also

"I found my heart, Isabel. I found yours too. And it was still beating."

like. even if you don't know it. your heart is still out there. YOU are still out there. it might be far away, on the other side of the tv screen, but it's still there. and it's still alive. it refuses to die.
