EXISTANCE IS PAIN FOR A MESEEKS

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH *SCREAMING INTENSIFIES*

[callali1y]

continually astounded to learn that someone around me is actually for real christian. like. aren't you supposed to grow out of that

[callali1y]

this post crossed my dash again so id like to clarify a few things:

1. stop telling me you're one of the good christians! or how your relationship to your faith is complicated! I AM MOCKING YOU! i am not taking a moral high ground here! this post is not about your religion's rampant homophobia, or child abuse, or the countless other fucking evils this post is about how YOU ARE FUCKING LAME. your faith is corny and passè and the things you do for it are fucking cringe. shut up!

2. do not come onto this post with some variation of "oh if they ACTUALLY read the bible they'd all be niceys" - first of all as previously stated this post is not about whether or not they're niceys, second of all the book probably doesnt even say that you just read a fucking tumblr post and finally WHO CARESSSSSS WHAT THE FUCKING BOOK SAYS?! THE BOOK IS MADE UP. ITS LAME. SHUT UP.

3. this post was prompted by a guy whose pronouns on discord were set to sinner/saved. that was in the tags of the original post but i want everyone to know this is the type of guy i have to work with

[creature-in-a-cornfield]

if Christians bothered to learn the history of their religion, they'd realize how bullshit it is. historical inaccuracies, mistranslations, and ancient canaanite pantheons are what the entire old testament is made up of and the new testament is just one guy whos mother was a teenage rape victim and then got executed ane people lied and made up shit about him to justify religion. then john came in and added a bunch of extra bullshit. the entire religion is fabricated and it takes barely any historical knowledge to realize. it took 9 year old me a week to realize it was bullshit after going through maybe 10 google searches and some of you dumbasses are still caught up on this. its pathetic that some of you choose this shit willingly and its evil that yall manipulate people into joining.

also yall are cringe as fuck

[thespectralwolf]

The vast majority of religions could have the same dismissive brush applied to them, Christianity certainly caught lighting in a bottle in terms of popularity and was the dominant religion of the western world through alot of its darkest times but it seems rather reductive to just tar the many hundreds of millions of Christians as pathetic, stupid or evil.

#us coal mining is a fun bit of cultural connection with us over in wales#ultimately we both got fucked#and had to fight tooth and nail for unions#ironically thanks to tectonic plates we were essentially mining the same mountain range#thousands of miles apart#what you call blue ridge mountains#we call Yr wyddfa#west viginia and all the coal towns are siblings as far as im concerned#we were raised on the same stone#that makes us kin Via: @scottish-valkyrie

@ruffboijuliaburnsides yeah

[lumiklovstad]

In the deep veins of the earth, where the mountains touch the night,

We, of Appalachia’s fold, and you, of Cymru bright,

Toil like brothers bound by blood, though an ocean roars between,

For the selfsame ancient spine, our mountains once have seen.

The Blue Ridge and the Cambrian, kin beneath the Cambrian blue,

Once a mighty chain they formed, where the Atlantic cleaves it through.

We cleave the selfsame rocky heart, though in lands so far apart,

With sweat and calloused hand we ply the miner’s honest art.

Black gold we wrest from the earth’s hold, fuel for forge and fire’s might,

Our humble labor fuels the world, by day and through the night.

Some might call us foreigners, strangers to each other,

But I know from digging this noble rock, that this stone has made us brothers.

The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think

[bedrock-to-buildheight]

It’s a 24yo Tomy SS-325 if it helps, it beeps once when it finishes counting down and beeps again when it finishes depressurizing, the steam is about 90-100c by then iirc

[bedrock-to-buildheight]

#top loading autoclave??? how do you get your trays out without toughing the sides?

With its basket! It comes with two of them

[thesilverhunt3r]

What's an autoclave?

Are those ink markers?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It's essentially a superpowered pressure cooker designed to get hot and high pressure enough to kill EVERYTHING. Including mold spores. They're used to sterilise equipment.

Those aren't markers, they're tubes of fluid that OP wants to be sterile. It's common practice to autoclave things like nutrient broth before inoculating them with bacteria, to kill off any contamination and make sure that you only grow whatever you put in there to grow.

[grison-in-space]

Fun fact: you can totally sterilize equipment with an instant pot in a pinch. I know this because my lab lives in a psych department so there's no goddamn autoclave in our building, so we were using an instant pot for some time until EHS decided they were not comfortable with it and were willing to cough up for an actual autoclave.

You want to use a biomarker to verify obviously but that's good practice anyway.

[whetstonefires]

Instant Pot doesn't let you open it until it's depressurized why does Elderly Tommy the Murder Autoclave omit this feature.

When I was in rehab I had a roommate who was this little old black lady and she was completely blind. And I saw that and was like “anybody gonna be this lady’s guide?” And didn’t wait for an answer. I actually got in trouble for “perpetuating lesbianism” BECAUSE I WOULD LEAD HER BY THE FUCKIN HAND. And that was “”too gay for the program”” so I had to make sure she held my elbow instead and like. What really pissed me off is that she was not given aid whatsoever for her disability. It was fucking me doing her paperwork. I was able to help her sign her own name but I had to fill out all of her intake stuff and ask all these invasive ass demographic questions like don’t you motherfuckers have a guy for that??? I’m here trying to fucking recover too, not interrogate this poor woman with questions about whether or not she’s ever been raped or abused or whatever

[kaijuno]

I remember one night early on, neither of us could sleep so we were just talking about anything and everything and she eventually asked “why’s a nice little white girl like you taking care of me like this?” (For context I was in detox with her, and you’re not the best version of yourself in detox by far, and we had both said some pretty rude things to each other) and I didn’t really know how to answer other than say “because… it’s the right thing to do?” And she got quiet and said softly “you’ll change when you’re older. The world is a cruel place for addicts” and I said “so why not take care of each other? Why not be the one source of compassion in a cruel world?” And she got quiet again and eventually gave a sad sigh and said “I pray the world doesn’t beat that kindness out of you… because it sure will try”

[kaijuno]

Majority of rehabs and mental health facilities in the United States are like this btw. Conservative Christian hellholes that shame you into being sober/neurotypical instead of like, yknow, fucking working with people to heal them. Lot of you don’t know that and it shows

Happy 10 year anniversary Dashcon announcement I guess

[ohnoproblems]

watched a broadcast of a police "chase" today where the dude drove the speed limit and obeyed all traffic directives except for yielding to cops. they tried to pit maneuver him twice and he just took himself over the median and turned around to follow traffic the other way. the cops ended up spike stripping one of their own SUVs while trying to stop him. when he finally stopped he just sat in his truck, unarmed, with a big tank of nitrous doing whippets for several hours while the cops desperately wracked their pig brains for a tactic that could stop a dude from chilling in his truck.

this was a situation that could have been resolved with a taxi and a tow truck and like, a court summons after running the plates. cops aren't here to solve situations, they're here to justify their obscene budgets and military equipment by making every situation an excuse to wage chemical warfare on anyone who doesn't allow them to define the situation.

they shot pepper bullets into his cab. he sat in his truck. a gaggle of them crept up to the passenger side and tossed in a tear gas canister. he tossed it back out the driver side and kept sitting in his truck. the cop negotiator brought water for the guy but then rather than actually give it to him to demonstrate even an ounce of good faith he threw it on the ground like 10 feet away from the truck as the most obvious bait. they brought in SWAT! fucking SWAT and their shitty SWAT monster truck, for an unarmed dude sitting in his truck. it was only misdemeanors until the cops showed up and made everything about them which made the dude's every attempt to leave into a felony because it's happening around a cop.

and all the while the news anchor is like OH YOU DON'T WANT THESE PEACE OFFICERS EXPOSED TO FURTHER RISKS, YOU DON'T WANT THEM CAUGHT IN CROSSFIRE (from who?? other pigs?? they're the only ones with guns!). HEY COP CORRESPONDENT, WHAT IF YOU USED A FLASHBANG ON THE GUY. god, when even the cop correspondent is like "uhh we're not doing that" you know you've said something sick. i cannot emphasize enough how much of it was just the dude sitting in his truck. the pigs solved this real brainscratcher of a conundrum with more tear gas because that's the only verb they know.

abolish the police!

[eveningdawn222]

this is what i can find for a source

seems like op was p accurate, the source article in the description has very biased language - "low-speed chase" u mean just driving???? took them 4 HOURS while he was parked.

[thespectralwolf]

Your average beat cop (patrol officers, the ones tgat drive around and answer calls, that happen to also be the ones responsible for 99% of major police tragedy) is a colossal fucking moron.

I was a marine for four years, got out and then re-upped in the coast guard after i transitioned and lemme tell you that video is like watchkng one big "why the fuck would you waste that much time?". I was trained to use the kind of equipment we just hand out to police and j can tell you from my own experience 99% of the shit cops respond to doesnt even need a fucking pistol let alone the M4s they pack.

There is an easy solution (as said above by @eveningdawn222) that would've made all of thay unnecessary and if you as me or any actually militarily trained person what to do they'll say "fucking court summons dont waste four hours on one dipshit"

The police in the US are a gaggle of undertrained over equipped morons who barely function at their main job.

[senruthmartinsbob]

They’re taking turns calling you slurs at gunpoint.

I feel like to few people in "tech" circles acknowledge how fucked apple is in so many ways, the company only lasts because they make their shit fall apart after a year

[jackthebard]

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

[sourcedumal]

[shuttersmiley]

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

[foxsan-deactivated20140515]

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

[geekinlibrariansclothing]

Got that?

[bettieleetwo]

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

[la-knight]

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

[athenadark]

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

[ladynorbert]

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

[abracazabka]

Men will try so hard to cover this shit up and gatekeep us smh

[animanightmate]

Don’t mind me, I’m just here to add the 1,030,993rd note to this glorious mf and repeat: women have ALWAYS been at the forefront of literature and linguistic revolutions. Especially young women in the latter part of that.
