Just Don't

The name's Tali. Mid-20s-aged. Once upon a time, someone threw all the moral panics US conservatives have ever had into a blender, and now here I am.

Nick Robinson started a patreon and he already has 57 patrons so there’s never been a better time to remind the world about how much of a scummy softboy creep he is

[kiddosquiddo]

just a reminder to people who don’t know, not the Nick Robinson from Love, Simon. This Nick is a former game journalist and honestly that alone is enough to warn people

[nerdgasrnz]

No, that is not enough to warn people. Come on now. So here’s the full spheel:

He’s a former video game journalist and entertainer for Polygon. He used to do youtube videos with Griffin McElroy (ie: Car Boys) He was investigated and fired from polygon for sexual harassment, and was found to have solicited nudes from young girls (MINORS)

The reason OP mentions the “softboy” persona is because his personality is one that most of us aren’t used to from dudes who treat women like trash. He had/has a disarming sort of personality and humor which was part of his charm in his videos, and that’s what OP means. That’s the part that blindsided everyone when the news first came out about him being a repeat-offending creep.

This garbage only happened around a year ago, and I don’t know (nor do I care) if he’s learned his lesson in that time. Hence the warning post about him stepping back into an internet spotlight in a place like Patreon. Just remember that he has no respect for womens’ boundaries, and even less for teenage girls’.

Further point of warning: his url here on tumblr is Babylonian and after he was fired from Polygon the tumblr sat vacant for a while but he’s recently started making posts again like nothing ever happened - and a lot of people are reblogging these posts because most A dont know who he is, they think hes just a popular blogger, because his twitter statement never made it to his tumblr. ironic huh?

Dont give him attention on patreon, go ahead and block him here.

homeless people are part of your community!!!!! get with it!!!!!!!!!!!!! they’re not outside interlopers they’re not invaders they’re not vermin. homeless people = people deprived of homes, they are Victims and you should be angry on their behalf because people are being deprived of shelter in Your Community

[brightephemera]

The current usage of “a few bad apples” bothers me.

A few bad apples spoil the barrel. If you put a rotting apple in with three dozen good ones, every adjacent apple will be rotting within days. “A few bad apples” does NOT mean “we have a good barrel but, oh well, sometimes bad things happen.” “A few bad apples” means “Our entire organism is rotting from the inside out, triggered by the actions of a few and perpetuated by the natural processing of the whole.” When you say “we had a few bad apples” your next words had BETTER be “we excised them, quickly and permanently, and checked the remaining ones to make sure they’re still good.”

This has been my rant, thank you.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

OH MY GOSH. I NEVER KNEW THE FULL QUOTE: 

holy oh my goodness vanilla scented MOTHERFCUKER

The actual meaning of ‘don’t let one apple spoil the bunch’ is:  “REMOVE THE FEW BAD APPLES BEFORE THEY SPOIL THE BUNCH.” 

The idiom was never meant to defend the bad apples. You absolutely can judge a barrel by its few bad apples. There is no room for bad apples. 

This is literally the opposite of what they’ve been telling us.

[helloitsace0space]

Here’s some other quotes we use that the original had an opposite meaning

Blood is thicker than water — The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb

Curiosity killed the cat — Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back

Great minds think alike — Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ

My country, right or wrong — My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right

Carpe diem seize the day — Carpe diem seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future (rough translation of “carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero”)

well I sure hope so?

A couple things here…

1. How do you suppose the 1960 conservatives would react to the idea of a President who has close ties to the leader of Russia? What would they say about the fact that so many of his followers are literal Nazis?

2. If AOC appeared to be a lunatic to 1960 Americans, it would be because the principle thing she advocates for–the 70% marginal tax rate–was policy at that time. So she’d be running around going “Marginal tax rates should be 70%!” and everyone would go “…yes? They are? Shouldn’t you, a sitting member of Congress, know that?”

[freifraufischer]

The marginal tax rate in 1962 was 87% percent.

I miss the days when Disney focused on new properties for theatrical releases and relegated sequels to poorly animated direct-to-video the way God intended

[bramblepatch]

Surprisingly high-quality half-hour TV shows are also acceptable

Like, Toy Stories Two Through Four are cool and all but do you remember the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon?

Feeling empty or your feeling you mood darken? You might be very unstimulated.

I know its hard to find something that truly interests you; I’ve only found it recently (its this: my blogs and such), but keep trying different things. I know its hard but you won’t find it unless you keep looking.

- DEPRESSION: Is It ADHD, Depression, or Both?, ADDitude

[abcsofadhd]

Secondary depression is a depression in an individual who has one or more preexisting, nonaffective psychiatric disorders or an incapacitating or life-threatening medical illness which precedes and parallels the symptoms of depression. (link)

Secondary depression is essentially when you have depression secondary to another condition.. and in a lot of cases, the depression is “caused” by the disorder.

In the case of ADHD, its not uncommon for chronic under-stimulation to cause secondary depression.
