In a bad way.

[whotoldyouso]

traditionally 'masculine' men: i need a woman to make me dinner🥺 i can't do it myself because that's her place to do so and i'm just too manly 🥺 she needs to be nurturing like my mommy🥺 also her asking for any material possession in return for her services is so rude of her weeeeeeh😭 doesn't she know she's my mommy???😭😭😭

[cheshireinthemiddle]

"Progressive" women: Gender roles are bad and sexist...but only when theyre against us. You pay the bills. You change the tires. You fix the appliances. You defend me from danger. You do the dangerous and gross jobs. You fight in wars. Be a man! Umm😜 actually, asking me to cook or clean even once👏👏 is misogynistic. I shouldnt be pressured to do things associated with my gender.👏👏👏 The only one who is allowed to demand gender roles😄Is me❤️Now one-sidedly protect me and fund my life like a parent, rather than treat me like a partner.😤 #genderequality

[mpov]

It also comes from a gross misunderstanding of how and why those gender roles even happened.

Before the industrial revolution and the information age nearly every job was backbreaking outdoor hard labor.

It wasn't as framed above "being a mommy", it was maintaining your workhorse. You kept it fed, you kept it healthy, you made sure it could keep working. Because it didn't work 5 eight hour days a week. It worked 15 to 20 hours a day, every day.

His job was to grind his body into paste providing the family. In many parts of the world it is still this way.

Her job was to manage the home, children, and finances.

But you're right, they want to keep his gender role as a provider, but they don't want to maintain the workhorse anymore.

ive always hated when a vampire story is trying to distance itself from traditional lore or common perception and the vampire turns up their nose and says "and no. I don't turn into a bat" like they're so offended that you'd even suggest that they could do something so cool. well congratulations you're uncool and boring goodbye

[largishcat]

“Can you turn into a bat?”

“God, no, I wish,” sighed the vampire. “That’d be fucking badass.”

also at the end when they ask you "any questions?" and you can't think of anything: ask about parking. even if you don't have a car.

[homeschooledangel]

I have an interview today in a couple hours, how did the algorithm know I needed this

[faunlord]

Btw when they ask if you have questions some actual good options are stuff like “what’s a typical day like in this role” or “is this job open because someone is leaving or is this a new position”

[sequintial]

Another good question I stole from a reddit post that has really impressed all interviewers (two job offers!) is: "let's say you hire me and in a year you're thinking you made a really great choice. What will I have done to make you think that?"

It gets them talking about what they're looking for in the role, thinking about how you could fit it, and lets you end the interview getting to reiterate how good you would be for the role and how enthusiastic you are for it.

U.S. - A federal judge has ordered the Walt Disney Company to pay financial reparations to loyal Star Wars fans.

Lawyers proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Disney acted maliciously when the company foisted The Last Jedi on unsuspecting audiences, resulting in the multi-billion-dollar judgment against the company.

The order is the first time a court has recognized the legitimacy of financial restitution for fans harmed by meddling with a once-great franchise. Legal experts believe this decision could open the floodgates on reparations for other fans of franchises that have been abused, such as the Indiana Jones series. The Indiana Jones fandom has long pushed for reparations after Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's release.

Fans need only present their credentials, showing they or their parents were Star Wars fans before the Disney sequels came out, and the company will pay out up to $1.7 million each. Acceptable proof includes lunchboxes from the '80s, Kenner figures from the same time period, or rattling off obscure facts from the Expanded Universe that Disney destroyed.

"Finally, the court system has recognized the need for reparations for those affected by Disney's cruel treatment of the franchise," said a lawyer representing the hundreds of millions of Star Wars fans affected. "This is a historic day for nerds in this country. Now, the healing can begin."

Warner Bros. is also reportedly lawyering up to defend against potential reparations suits from Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin and the sequels to The Matrix.

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

[joshgrobanscock]

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money

[letsoulswander]

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

[cephalopodvictorious]

It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it

if i had seen the transition from sepia to color in wizard of oz in 1939 i would have lost my shit i would've started screaming in the theater

[ruffboi-mags]

Okay no but like, I am still SO ENAMORED by this transition y’all, ‘cause when Dorothy opens the door of the house onto the colors of Oz, the inside of the house is still sepia toned. And they did that by literally making the interior and the costume and everything SEPIA TONED. You had a double for Judy Garland in a specifically-created sepia-toned dress, in a sepia-toned set, opening the door, backing out of frame, and then the Dorothy that steps back into frame is Judy Garland in her full color costume and makeup, stepping out into the color set.

It’s just

Y’all it’s such a GREAT EFFECT, and this was before computer effects and green screen, it was all practical and yeah it feels like nothing now, but at the time, man, not only was technicolor new, but I’m pretty sure no other movie had done a transition out of b/w or sepia into color, and even knowing it was a technicolor film, that must have just been fucking wild to see! It still is wild to see!! It’s so good.

[jumpydroid]

[digitalisnarcissus]

The technique of switching between double and main actor without an edit is called a Texas Switch and it's still used today, it's very neat to have something so simple yet tricky persist pretty much just because it genuinely looks better to do it with timing than with editing.

On May 7, 2019, a disturbed student hiding guns walked into the STEM High School in Highlands Ranch, a suburb of Denver, Colorado. His intention was to kill as many students as he could.

He pulled out a gun and yelled, “Nobody move!”

Rather than being a helpless, frightened victim, 18 year old senior Kendrick Castillo, who was close by, attacked the gunman. Castillo was shot in the chest and died, but his actions inspired several other students to do the same and gave them the time needed to close in. The gunman was disarmed and held until police arrived to arrest him. The gunman is now serving life without parole in the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Kendrick was just three days away from graduating.

At the same time, that gunman’s partner entered the middle school across the street with the intention of doing the same thing. She (born female but claiming to be transitioning to male) was tackled and disarmed by a security guard and held for police. She is also now serving a life sentence in the Colorado Department of Corrections, but because she was 16 years old at the time, she is eligible for parole after 40 years.

Kendrick Castillo was the only death, though eight other students were wounded.

I intentionally did not use the names of the shooters. They do not deserve that recognition. This is a picture of Kendrick Castillo, a face that not enough people have seen and whose story not enough people have heard of.

he deserves the presidential medal NOT scum like pelosi and FJB

I guess she needs every leverage possible to sell her book, so that tells me it's either really bad or she has no faith in her ability to write a good book without the need to use gimmicks to sell it.

[the-davest-of-uncles]

It tells me she's an unlovable, bitter harpy whose string of failed relationships is her fault and hers alone...but she doesn't want to admit that to herself.

[cherokeefrank]

Tells me "White Supremacy" is suddenly a worthless concept. Congrats folks, it no longer exists because people like this have diluted it so much, it no longer means anything.

Like taking a bottle of wine and you keep adding water. Eventually there's no wine left. We have reached that point.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Homeopathic prejudice.

[bebe-benzenheimer]

OK, who's going to tell her that there is a ginourmous market for Black lead characters in romance novels written by Black authors?

[nopostradio]

That would require her to not be a shitty writer. And if she wasn't a shitty writer, she wouldn't have started off with 'something that's existed as long as humans is white supremacy'.
