i think corporate memphis is amazing bc it perfectly encapsulates the inhumanity and soulessness of modern american capitalism that is hiding behind a thin facade of representational forms to sell something

I love TROPES I love CLICHÉS I love CAMP why does everything have to be “””good””” these days 🙄👎

in 2008 something I like to refer to as the Breaking Bad effect happened. What is the breaking bad effect? well the TV show Breaking Bad came out and it was good and everyone liked it. After that, all the people who make TV got together and were like… “hmm everyone liked breaking bad, why dont we make all tv good” and so they did. this is the breaking bad effect. Before this existed a phenomenon I call “Gilligan from Gillgans island gets hit in the head by a fucking coconut” See the thing about Gilligans island is just about every episode he gets hit in the head with that damn coconut. or someone gets hit in the head, or something of the sort. Is it clever????? no. is it smart??? no. is it good?? no. but, does he be getting hit in the head with the damn coconut every time you tune in??? YOU BET YOUR ASS!!! the “breaking bad effect” killed the “Gilligan from Gillgans island gets hit in the head by a fucking coconut” phenomenon. Now no one on tv gets hit on the head like they used to. I for one enjoy consuming media that is so predictable and trite you know whats going to happen before you even turn on your tv. I like knowing that some asshole is about to get a whole fucking coconut dropped on his noggin. what does that make me??? a horrid underdeveloped idiot man child? perhaps. but i dont care. every day i am forced to go outside  and into the world where i dont understand one thing. with all this confusion there is something very satisfying about knowing you can always turn on the tv and see that damn fucking coconut fall on some small dicked bastard. amen, god bless, and have a good night yall

Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things

[reputayswift]

Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.

I am too far away from Ludacris

it’s not the retrogrades it’s the ludacris proximity

anyone else remember being a child and seeing the very neat handwriting of other little girls and somehow knowing that you were a different genre of person than they were

[lunarconception-deactivated2021]

literally no…i remember seeing bad handwriting & thinking “oh these other kids must be orphans or something”

[meangirlnurse]

fascinating to hear from the other genre, thanks for your contribution

Quick what was your favorite ology book?

A lot of Fallout fans tend to forget that the Followers of the Apocalypse are first and foremost a collective of anarchist doctors/ other nerds whose only real governing doctrine is mutual aid.

[wildwildwasteland]

Like this isn't meant as a dig. Writers audiences rarely have a good handle on what anarchism is, which is why I think having a faction without an easily-parsed social structure or set of laws beyond "learn, teach, do no harm" results in so much confusion.

They aren't missionaries, they don't have centralized leadership, they are not militaristic, or staunch pacifists. They're a voluntary collective labelled 'radicals' by the NCR for opposing their imperialism. The extent of their influence is running a field hospital + sending small groups into the wasteland to find and share new knowledge.

Terfs will be like "we're not a white supremacist movement!" while in the same post using lingo they could have only picked up from literal neo nazi sites

[mioxenoblade]

Like am I supposed to believe neo nazis and terfs both made up the same exact term to refer to trans people that has the exact same connotations at the exact same time thats unique in its origin because it literally has to do with that specific neo nazi groups origins in getting purged off a well known internet forum? Nah.

i hate when the language processing center of my brain just randomly decides to turn off. i'll be in the middle of a conversation and then all of a sudden my brain is like "battery low" and goes blank and then i'm sitting there like "i don't know what you're saying"
