Omg Twinkie Chan took an office job

I am shook

[teamrocketgruntlisa]

errrrgh just had to cancel & refund a sale because some dumb old lady thought she was somehow getting 11 handmade scarves for $60 including shipping.

I mean I don’t know how having the giant words “crochet pattern” and smaller text “pdf crochet pattern, not a finished item” can be misunderstood.

She did manage to order an actual finished scarf on sale for $15, but I canceled the whole order. Not dealing with that.

Man, classroom of the elite started out pretty interesting, then quickly turned into a perv fest. Wtf. I'm probably gonna keep watching it though, but what a disappointment.

[best-life-wisdom]

nothing more attractive than a man who teaches you things without making you feel like you’re dumb for not knowing it already

[teamrocketgruntlisa]

seriously that’s like 50% of why my boyfriend is the best

[steelplatedhearts]

anyway this is the only theory I will accept now

Hey guys I’m having an auction, 100% of the money is going to the Houston animal humane society to help them take care of all the pets in trouble from hurricane Harvey! Please check it out and put in a bid or two!! Bit.ly/hellohappyebay

[the-real-eye-to-see]

Get the names and locations of these stores and report it. So fucking illegal.

[teamrocketgruntlisa]

People like "they make the prices high so people don't buy it all up" uhhhh that's what imposed limits are for. Like you're only allowed to buy X amount per person.

Every day I’m still getting notes on an old post where I said that eating healthier costs more money and of course every so often is another health zealot swearing I’m wrong.

EXCEPT:

one dollar at dollar tree

one dollar at mcdonald’s

A fucking quarter almost everywhere

And what these bozos aren’t factoring in is that these foods, loaded with salts and fats and carbs and sugars, are FILLING for a shitload longer than whatever colon cleansing non-GMO avocado unicorn poop some thinspo blog is bragging about. The box of oatmeal creme cookies even lasts more than a day, just two of those things and I have no appetite again for hours.

Personally we are eating better and making more money currently but when I was a kid it was all the above shit and potatoes. Lots and fucking lots of potatoes.

STOP FUCKING TELLING POOR PEOPLE THEY’RE STUPID FOR NOT EATING LIKE YOUR HIPSTER ORGANIC CRAP

[ambitchousrobot]

Another thing they’re forgetting is food waste. Fresh produce only lasts so long. So to regularly eat fresh you have to 1) go grocery shopping more often and 2) have your meals planned out ahead of time to use everything.

When you only have $50 or less for food for the month, it’s devastating to see $10 worth of fresh produce rot. Especially if it’s because you just don’t have time to cook it. (Poor people usually juggle multiple jobs, work overtime, or work jobs with inconsistent schedules like retail or food services.) They don’t have time to run to the grocery store 3+ times a week, especially if they have to hit up multiple stores to get the cheap prices. They don’t have time to spend 1+ hour every week doing a meal plan. And they probably don’t have that much time or energy to cook.

When I was severely poor (like, we determined which bill to pay each month by how close they were to being shut off. “We paid water last month, so they won’t turn it off until next month. It’s been two months of electricity though, so we should probably pay that before we get a cutoff.) we did not buy fresh. All our veggies were canned, because they don’t spoil. We had lots of ramen, just in case we ran out of money and couldn’t buy groceries for a while. We didn’t buy meat unless we knew we would cook it that day because we didn’t want to see it spoil. We ate a lot of boxed meals. And when I was working 60+ hours a week, you can bet your ass I ate a lot of cheap packaged shit like little debbie. Because I didn’t have time to cook before my 12 hour work day, I only got 4 hours of sleep and I wasn’t sacrificing 30 minutes for a hot breakfast, and I couldn’t afford to eat out.

Anyone who says shit like this has never been poor. When you’re poor it’s not just money you’re lacking, but time, and resources, and mother fucking energy. It’s rough. And I wouldn’t be so quick to judge them if I were you, because the poor have been through more than you could ever understand.

remember when i said veganism was clasist & not an option 4 most of society n they were all in my inbox actin like typical vegans…. well there u go

[heyatleastitsnotcancer]

This goes doubly for chronically ill or disabled poor people. There really isn’t time and energy to make each meal especially if you’re working. It’s damn near impossible.

It’s great if eating vegan or all fresh products or what not works for you but keep in mind it won’t work for everyone.

[teamrocketgruntlisa]

dude ramen is almost $1 now

[teamrocketgruntlisa]

i love when people complain about pattern prices

like, you’re paying both an engineer and an artist so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

[tuxedoandex-deactivated20200116]

but why

[faith-n-reason-deactivated20191]

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

[aussietory]

[ultrafacts]

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

Julius Caesar to be precise 

[hot-tea-nanako]

Remember this when you’re conquering. Keep the books.

[zzazu]

THIS HURTS MY HEART SO MUCH EVERY TIME ITS BROUGHT UP

[thinkphrontistery]

Julius Caesar needs to be stabbed for this

[lesbiananglerfish]

I know we should totally stab Caesar

Does March 15th sound good for everyone??

[poutinedragon]

hey everyone, guess what day it is

[thewinddrifter]

Jesus fucking Christ, no, the burning of the library of Alexandria did not in any way slow down human progress. It wasn’t the only library to have existed in the world at the time.

“Alexandria was hardly the only library in the world, and the libraries at Pergamum and later Rome herself rivaled Alexandria in scale. Antony replaced the losses of the fire during the Alexandrine War with copies made from the library at Pergamum, and libraries in gymnasia or simply founded for citizens abound during that period in the Greek world, they’re in like literally every city of any size. If anything at all was lost it was almost certainly mainly critical commentaries on various authors, as well as catalogs of their works–both the Alexandrian library and the Pergamene one were famous for producing such commentaries. Pretty much everything else of value would have existed elsewhere. It’s possible that a few (at that time probably little-known) philosophical texts might have been lost, but even such texts are likely to have had other copies elsewhere.” Here’s an extensive and well sourced post debunking the utter bullshit myth that the burning of the Library somehow shot human progress back thousands of years until the 16th century dragged Europe out of the “Dark Ages”. 

Which is also a term very few historians use or take seriously anymore because it is, again, based off of inaccurate misconceptions about Medieval history, AS WELL as being an EXTREMELY Eurocentric viewpoint that ignores scientific and scholarly work done in other areas of the world like China and the Middle East.

During the so called ‘European Dark Ages’, architecture achieved complexities the Romans could only dream of, the first universities were opened, scholarship was kept alive, metalurgy advanced rapidly. 

There wasn’t ONE renaissance, there were THREE. The one we think of had it’s roots as far back as the 14th century. They didn’t come out of nowhere, the advancements were built off of work of hundreds of years of work by educated folk from across Euroasia and they fed into one another.

In fact, here’s a handy list of Medieval European scientists, from the 5th to 14th century.

That fucking graph up there is one of the most offensivley bad pseudo-historical memes. It’s so infamous, /r/BadHistory simply calls it  “The Chart”.

Let this fucking bullshit die already.

[notallheremyselfx]

Yes, I was about to rant on this until I got to the end.

[fluoride-bomb]

I hate that fucking chart

[basedheisenberg]

Everytime I see that chart I do not know peace. Snakes manifest in my home physically. They bring Seth McFarlane with them.

[brunhiddensmusings]

also keep in mind that over 2/3s of the content of the library of Alexandra was copies of the Iliad, excerpts of the Iliad, extensive commentaries on the Iliad, and quite possibly fanfic of the Iliad or stories inspired by the Iliad

[teamrocketgruntlisa]
