Anything that comes to mind

although my hobbies include technical theatre, my employment is marine carpentry. I am very good at making things work, so long as you don't ask me how.

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

OK lads but. Why is the r slur coming back. It's 2026. Why am I hearing so many of The Youth use this word liberally and at whim. Do you need me to ground you. Do I need to sit you on the naughty step. Do you need me to strap you into the Learning Chair and deliver a 4 hour lecture about the history of the r slur, ableism, and why using that word is neither big nor cool. Or do you just need me to punch you in the mouth.

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

[gaesnek]

[monkey-mulch]

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

[red-mercer]

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

[grimeclown]

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

[grimeclown]

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

[headspace-hotel]

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

[bogleech]

Convergent evolution.

a lil tomato soup made from roast tomato, onion, garlic and bell pepper with a lil grill ches. regular marble cheddar, some farmers market truffle cheddar, and a lil pickle for the filling. bread is a sourdough pullman's loaf recipe of my own design

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

man it is SO funny that everyone's still cycling this post considering that the meal poisoned the shit out of me

turns out the bread i baked there had started to mold, the cheddar cheese had started to mold, and the chicken stock I used for the soup's best before date was over a year ago. I found all of this out a day or so later and I'm now still dealing with the gastroenteritis symptoms

everyone in here would have gotten poisoned if I'd brought this to the potluck, good to know

“The president announced that he is putting his unqualified, stooge of a henchman in charge of our national intelligence apparatus, so that he can conduct an ideological purge of the intelligence community,” says Chris Hayes on Trump’s DNI pick Bill Pulte. Former CIA director John Brennan joins to discuss.

Sitcom about a immortal (and rather antisocial) wizard who lives in a great stone tower several miles outside of the local village, except that’s only the establishing prologue.

The meat of the show takes place a thousand years later, when the village has become a modern city and urban sprawl has resulted in it expanding to entirely surround the wizard’s tower, which is now sticking out like the proverbial sore thumb in the middle of a suburban housing development.

The inciting incident of the present-day plot involves a local kid who’s read too many of Those Kind Of YA Novels persuading the wizard to take them on as an apprentice, prompting the wizard to become involved in the community after centuries of relative seclusion.

The result is a sort of reverse fish-out-of-water comedy where it’s society at large that keeps getting tripped up by the out of place character’s strange expectations. The wizard isn’t unwilling to adapt, but their default attitude of “explain to me in detail how any of this is reasonable” is something most other characters don’t really know how to respond to; this is exacerbated by the fact that the wizard’s first contact with many of the foibles of modern life is filtered through the aforementioned kid apprentice and their bizarre YA-media-driven misconceptions about what being a wizard actually entails.

via @prokopetz #the wizard shows up for the kid apprentice’s next parent teacher conference#because in their day a master had parental obligations toward their apprentice#so of course this is their responsibility#right?

Of course it is, and don’t you let anyone tell you otherwise, says the middle-aged lady who’s having a spectacular time watching the chaos

[themandylion]

I’m mostly wondering how the wizard dealt with the local HOA before the kid bullied them out of the tower. Yes, the tower predates any and all development around it and is no doubt exempt from any association rules, but everything the internet has taught me about HOAs leads me to believe that they would still try. And turning the reps into toads would probably just ear the wizard a write-up for keeping non-approved pets.

[prokopetz]

I imagine they’d mostly have dealt with it the same way they dealt with royal tax collectors any time they didn’t feel like starting a war with the local monarchy; i.e., being exhaustingly pedantic about microscopic points of protocol until the annoying mortal gives up and goes away.

I’m not saying toads never happened, mind – I’m just saying toading’s not the only tool in the toolbox!
