Going insane reading this wikipedia quote about the real life Cocaine Bear, which is taxidermied and kept in a mall in Kentucky (though it may actually be a different, unrelated, taxidermied bear)

According to the bear's owners, the Cocaine Bear has the authority to officiate legally binding weddings in the mall where it is kept due to Kentucky's marriage laws. This claim is only partly true; the bear does not have the authority to solemnize weddings, but the state of Kentucky cannot invalidate marriages performed by unqualified persons if the parties believe that the person marrying them has the authority to do so. As such, it is a belief in the Cocaine Bear's authority that allows it to officiate legally binding weddings in Kentucky.

You have to BELIEVE in the power of your Cocaine Bear Marriage for it to take effect. Fucking magical.

the jocks in Pacific rim: to neural bond with someone… you need to be drift compatible… you need to trust them completely… you need to be emotionally healthy.. it can be absolutely traumatising if anything goes wrong..

the nerds, mindmelding with dead alien monsters: fuckin cowards

wintersoldierfell

This is 100% true but what this tells me is that the jocks have learned the value of caring for themselves and each other, of treating their minds and hearts with the love they wish they had shown their bodies, and meanwhile the nerds have been so ground down by the hellscape of academia that if the alternative to teaching a 4/4 and publishing sixteen papers a year is to just shove the last synaptic shrieks of an alien’s flesh into your brain until it pops out an idea that’ll clinch your tenure case then by god, bring on the pulsating fleshwad and light ‘em up

i think constantly about this. you know what most academics think if we hear someone has multiple phds? we think, mostly, like, oof, yikes, hope that guy’s okay. their advisors clearly aren’t looking out for them, or might be actively abusing them. they’re neither landing a TT job nor successfully leaving to go work in industry, and no one in their life has the good sense to help them find like a steady desk job, or they’re too in their mental illness to get or keep one. god knows we’ve been there. we think, shit, isn’t anyone looking out for you enough to write you onto a grant as a postdoc at the fucking least? we cringe when we think of how many grad students we’ve known who just, like, fall off the map, rather than going back for more, over and over again. two phds is like, a career change, but beyond that, like. hello? how are you even getting admitted to the third or fourth phd, are you like lightly defrauding admissions? and then you finally got a decent, steady-ish government job after all that, which we’re all REALLY relieved about bc frankly your burnout was visible from space and you were really scaring the undergrads, and then we all suck air in through our teeth again when we hear what government job it is. like oh yeah you got a nice steady job of LITERALLY frying your brain, then, huh buddy? the metaphor started to get stale for ya there?

Realised we don't have an all inclusive "be gay do crime" or "be trans throw hands" so I suggest "be queer strike fear"

I've been saying this for years 😭

Yup.

Eating disorders are underdiagnosed in men; I have believed this to be true for some time. When I was in Krav Maga the guys around me would casually talk about restricting to like 20% of the calories someone their size should be eating and genuinely wouldn’t realize it was fucked up.

Day 286 of quarantine I have discovered www.webstaurantstore.com

It is, I BELIEVE, a website intended to be used by restaurants for bulk ordering food and utensils. And this is bringing me such unbounded delight scrolling through and recognizing that I, a single individual, ALSO can order ridiculous obscene enormous offensive-to-all-common-sensibilities shipments of BULK FOOD, to my LITTLE LITTLE APARTMENT, for PENNIES on the dollar. I have this god given power to flood my entire living space with bulk grains and it is one single button click away from my reality.

30 POUNDS of chocolate for $100. 20 POUNDS of peas for $13?? $13!!!! I will wake up every single morning from now on knowing that a box of donuts and a sack of dried split peas heavy enough to bodily injure someone both carry equal monetary weight. 25 POUNDS OF ONION POWDER for $50. Do you understand the enormity? the accessibility? the potential here? With the single click of the button I can put myself in a position of bequeathing more than a humanly comprehensible amount of onion powder in my will. AND IT WOULD ONLY COST ME $50 TO MAKE THIS A REALITY.

But what gets me

What truly gets me

is the 50 POUND BAG OF RICE

FOR LESS THAN $20

Do you know how much that kills me? How much I’m losing my mind? that I can order MYSELF WORTH OF RICE for something to the tune of $50? I can OUT-RANK MYSELF WITH RICE, DEMOCRATICALLY OVERRULE MYSELF WITH RICE, IN MY OWN APARTMENT for the fucking PENNIES that is $50

I’m so sorry for the normal person I’ll be after quarantine because the cabin-fever version of me I’m inhabiting right now is perhaps just uninhibited enough to follow through on this dream I’ve just discovered of out-ricing myself.

this would be really cool for mutual aid, actually I thinks

martinkhall

If you have a restaurant supply store in your neighborhood, in my case Gordan’s Foods, you can get similar deals. They aren’t all as good as OP reports from the web site but my wife and I get our rice there for about the same price/pound and no need to wait for it to be shipped. Only really works if you’ve got access to a car or cab to get it home though. Don’t see lugging 50 pounds of rice home on the bus working out well.

anarchblr

you can feed a lot of people with that tho

hekwen-deactivated20220601

is there anyone you’d trust to hold the other hand of a massive ikea tote full of cheap rice on the bus home?

anarchblr

Yes

hekwen-deactivated20220601

awesome, ive heard those totes are pretty easy to get, and they’ve been sturdy enough to carry a lot of food in my experience. with two people it would be a lot easier to transport.

shout out to all the people who identify with gifted kid burnout syndrome who are probably just neurodivergent but werent diagnosed as a child, who used to devour books like it was nothing and never really understood why the protagonist would leave their cool fantasy world behind to go back home at the end of the story, and who are now extremely disappointed in reality and use escapism as their primary coping mechanism. how’s that bisexuality and deep-rooted anger at the school system going for you?

So, short recap of this hell of a week

- starting with the US elections being the most dramatic ones ever

- Trump declares himself winner literal days before we get an official result

- The whole world's waiting for friggin Nevada to count their votes

- Trump wants to stop counting the votes, but at the same time not. He's confused, wants to involve the supreme court. Unclear why.

- with everyone's eyes still glued to Nevada, the CW airs a new episode of Supernatural, casually kicking the entirety of tumblr back into the year 2013

- Destiel becomes canon after 11 seasons / 12 years

- Castiel "dies" and somehow the internet turns it into a mainstream meme

- For about 12 hours everyone is convinced that Canon Destiel caused russian dictator Vladimir Putin to step down

- While all of us are busy freaking out about Destiel, Georgia turns blue, and we all find out via Destiel memes

- We're still waiting for Nevada

- Pennsylvania turns blue as well, and we find out via Destiel memes AGAIN

- Destiel-Antis are getting mad and Destiel-Fans are having an absolute blast after a single-word tweet. "COPE"

- Superwholock is crawling out of its grave and people bring back tumblr code and dashcon

- rumours about Sherlock season 5 to make the Superwholock chaos perfect

- Putin is NOT stepping down but that doesn't stop the memes

- Destiel is trending on Twitter ON TOP OF THE ELECTION, and it's trending in combination with Putin.

- still waiting for Nevada

- Trump declares himself winner again and gets mad at twitter for marking his tweets as incorrect

- Trump still tries to stop the ballot counting with wild accusations of cheating. Also, he really really hates the mail-in ballots.

- we still freak out over Destiel and find out that Dan and Phil dating is confirmed. Suddenly we're all 13 again.

- Trumps son tweets about starting a war

- while the whole world is STILL waiting for Nevada, Trump goes golfing, but not without declaring himself winner once more. Winner "BY A LOT".

- nothing from Nevada

- Trumps team send emails to people asking them for more money

- Biden wins Pennsylvania, now having enought electoral votes to win the presidency, fireworks all around the globe

- about 0.2 seconds after Pennsylvania has made Biden president, Nevada finishes counting.

- Joe Biden becomes the 46th President of the United States and a big bunch of people find out via destiel memes

- Trump lost the election. BY A LOT.

- "JOE IS BIDEN"

- we declare Biden the Destiel president

- Trump does not accept the election results. What a surprise.

- Trump is still golfing but his giant team of lawyers have dug up a bunch of people who claim to have witnessed cheating in the ballot counting

- Trumps lawyer team holds a press conference about their plans to fight against the cheating, leaving everyone confused about 1) their non-existent proof and 2) the very weird venue this conference was held at

- "stop the steal"

- we learn that Trump's press conference was held in the parking lot of Four Seasons Landscaping, not the luxury hotel Four Seasons.

- we also learn that Four Seasons Landscaping is located in-between a crematorium and a sex-toy shop

- Biden makes a speech and Trump finally stops golfing. Trump's fans are very mad at the democracy for being a democracy. They also hate socialism without even knowing what it means.

The best part of this is that the explanation is even sillier:

these aren’t even a “race” of khajit, they’re just regular khajit. Whether khajit end up like housecats or humans or a fucking lion is solely determined by what phase of the moons they’re born under.
