The facial expressions of everyone trying not to lose it are killing me

[gunsandfireandshit]

This is painfully American

[dirtbaby2016]

Americans be like it is totally normal for an entire stadium (including military members) to stand at attention while a fast food clown mascot sings the national anthem

[unstablebill]

when we say "it is functionally impossible to parody Americans in a way that will actually insult them" this is the sort of thing you're up against. is your sick burn funnier than corporation burger clown sing national anthem baseball game? no?? of course it isn't.

its ok theyre Gods lil helpers

[oatmealbrain]

And boy are they clumsy

[hydrangeafae]

Hi, these bees are babies! They’re not clumsy at all, this is what is called orientation flights. After birth and before beginning their careers as foragers (as all Honey bees cycle through all the jobs in the Hive throughout their lifespan), Honey bees take short flights back and forth, to and from the Hive, to orient themselves with their wings and their home so they can learn its location and how to get back home after foraging! Everyone has to learn, these are just smol little baby turkeys. Bees use the angle of the sun for location so adults have a better and more direct sense of location than any human

[polar-solstice]

IM SO PLEASED TO LEARN THIS!!!

They are just!!! Student drivers!!! 😭

[chicknwire]

I love tumblr more than IG bc IG feels like I’m posting looking for a job but on here it’s like I already lost the job and my wife and the house and I’m just sitting on the curb talking to myself

[slimetony]

Haters will see you put on a condom and say he can’t afford to raise a child

[teaboot]

Why would you have sex with your haters randy

[slimetony]

I’m not really in any position to be picky

[weepyemperor]

doc, my advice fetish is taking over my life, i just dont know what to do.......... (lecherous look appears in my eye)

[princethias]

Really wish you didn't

[anistarrose]

ORAS haters are weak and will not survive the winter. How many other video game remakes have had the confidence, the guts, to ask challenging, pertinent philosophical questions like "if a giant doomsday asteroid is hurtling towards our planet in the remake-verse, then is it ethical to send it to a parallel dimension where it will destroy the world of those original games from 2002 instead," and even "hey what if actually ☝️ we just blow it up with a dragon 🐉"

also as long as im bitching about trying to learn accounting in a capitalistic hellscape, i wanna complain about the stock market.

so, the basic idea of investment was once upon a time, "i need money to start a business." "i will give you money to do that, if you give me some of the profits" "okay."

the stock market allegedly simplifies that process, and allows for massive amounts of people to invest in a company, and get profits, and a small share of voting power, in return. crowdfunding! yay!

except. except. people dont actually invest in companies in order to see that business flourish. they dont even KNOW what all theyve invested in because banks do all that shit now. the "stock" is just a really weird form of currency, and the rich assholes consolidate and do weird shit to still have all the voting power. the investment isnt for the investments sake, its with the hope that Number Go Up in the future, creating this stupid fucking infinite growth or bust problem we're running into.

again, i think that's obscene. i think its real fucked up to have money invested in the concept of money. i think if you crowdfund a shoe store or a computer lab or whatever the fuck, it should be because you actually want that thing to exist. what if kickstarter had fucking investment accounts like that. its garbage nonsense and im sure some fucking economist could tell me otherwise, but i cant see ANY practical reason to do it this way.

[bananonbinary]

"Do companies pay cash dividends to give regular cash flows to the investors? Well, that might have been true 30 or 40 years ago.[...]This is no longer true. If i need cash from my investment portfolio, I can easily go online and sell a few shares."

(quote from the videos used in my accounting course)

I AM BITING AND SCRATCHING AND HURTING THE FINANCIAL SECTOR SO MUCH. HATE KILL KILL KILL.

WHY THE FUCK DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN.

"invest in a company, and you will get a share of the profits and voting power in how its run" is literally the most straightforward way to crowdfund a company under capitalism. "buy and sell random shares as the market fluctuates, never touching the companies you are investing in" is fucking nonsense garbage.

also if the original intent was still the primary way of making money on the stock market, that would help curtail the infinite growth problem, because "my shares give me like $200 a year" is a good deal! you don't need to wait for the stock price to change, you just...get money from the company! because you own part of it! you won't get RICH off of it unless you happen to strike gold, but it's a solid return on investment model. SOME people would still choose the risky "give me no dividends for now, i think this company is gonna get BIG" option, but companies with a steady business would still be very attractive to the majority i think. as it stands now though, why would you EVER bother with a steady company, when you can trade literally minute to minute if you want? so we incentivize being sensational over doing anything WELL. fucking. make stock mean anything again PLEASE.

i'm not a capitalist at all, i am pretty heavily socialist, but if we GOTTA do a capitalism, this is not a terrible system as it was conceived. pretty fair, all things considered. it pisses me off how much this all sounds reasonable on paper, but is a complete trash fire in reality.

one time a guy friend told me he was quitting league of legends and literally two weeks later she was on estrogen. these events are intrinsically connected in my mind.

[eightyonekilograms]

There is still time [to stop playing league of legends]

[frailgun]

i did a google search for "most recent invention" which my girlfriend said was something strong bad would do

[frailgun]

angriest I've ever been in my life

[renthony]

It's wild to watch the phrase "tumblr sexyman" morph into "man that tumblr thinks is sexy," because when I first saw the phrase come into use, I always saw it used in reference to the phenomenon of "when presented with a wide array of fictional characters, tumblr will always pick the skinny white man to obsess over, and if the fan-favorite character has no canonical human appearance, the fandom will inevitably create a popular fanon of the character as as a skinny white man."

When I hear "tumblr sexyman," I think of Cecil Night Vale being constantly depicted as a skinny white man instead of literally anything else. I think of the background character white men who get elevated over protagonists that are women, people of color, or otherwise not the white man power fantasy.

"Tumblr sexyman" is, like. An insult. I DON'T want any of my blorbos to win a "tumblr sexyman" poll. "Tumblr sexyman" is the exact opposite of what I want my own OCs to be. If any of my characters ever get called "tumblr sexyman," I will have to immediately re-evaluate myself and the art I'm making.

[nebulae-d]

"okay, but are you a nonbinary woman or a nonbinary man" im going to nonbury you in a fucking hole.

Caught Ollie scratching at my laundry basket so now he has his own

So far every time I set it in front of him now he's jumped straight in, no questions asked, and upon further investigation he seems to enjoy being carried in it from room to room
