all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.
god forbid you teach kids that their consent should be respected rather than about the inherent immorality of all the sinful actions of their peers
Or that they should obey their elders just because, regardless of what they're asking you to do
i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
These people are what's wrong with the world
Years ago back when I worked in cubicle land, we were hiring junior software developers. They didn’t have to have a ton of experience, just a willingness to learn, and some demonstration of their software skills. Like: show me a program you wrote (any language) or a web site you designed. Anything.
And there was this one guy I talked with who seemed super sharp, but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the show-n-tell part of the interview he whips out his laptop, brings up a website, and spins it around to show me what he made.
A website of tiny ceramic frogs.
Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs, organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles, frogs with hats, frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form.
I scrolled through his online collection of frogs, slightly baffled.
“This is your website?” I asked finally.
“Yep!”
“You coded this yourself?” I popped into view-source mode and poked around some incredibly well-formatted, well-commented html. I nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous.
“Yep!”
“So… where’d all the frogs come from?”
“I made those too,” he says, beaming.
And while I’m processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us, next to the laptop.
“And THIS one,” he says, “I made for you! As a thank you for the interview.”
It was adorable. I hired him on the spot. I mean, why not? Worst case he’d wash out in 90 days and we’d hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team.
And yes, his cubicle was loaded with ceramic frogs.
This counts as fan art
Is it okay for nonblack people to casually say the n word?
Yes
No
No, but- (nuance)
It seems we are not all on the same page about this, and I would genuinely like to know why. I thought the answer was obvious, but mayhaps we didn't all grow up with that understanding.
Is it difficult to not say the n-word as a nonblack person?
Yes
No
No, but- (nuance)
Like is there a temptation? A benefit? A gain that one might receive by saying it while nonblack?
Final question!
Would you trust a nonblack person who casually says/said the n-word?
(Black users only!)- Yes
(Black users only!)- No
(Black users only!)- Depends
(Everyone else)- Yes
(Everyone else)- No
(Everyone else)- Depends
If you believe that person is still trustworthy, why so? If you don't, why so?
Lot of votes on this with not an equivalent amount of shares lmao folks are not trying to find out about their peers huh 🤣 it can be scary!
the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time
another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world
ok I think y’all are ready to see transgender Frankenstein’s monster I did for class
grossed is such a weird way to describe how much a movie makes. how much did this movie yucky
dead wife montage but it's a henchman reminiscing about da boss after he got put six feet under. picking flowers before hiding the bodies, wiping cocaine from your nose after a big night, that long drive down the beach to find the bookie who squealed. where did the days go
“Egg [x4]”
boss, wherever your spirit may be, you gotta help me, they're doing easter egg hunts in my precious yet illicit memories
favorite thing about tumblr is having a fandom in law. no i haven't watched this show and i'm not planning to. but my moot is having fun!! look how much they love it!!! i'm supportive from the sidelines!
Woman murders man in broad daylight
beautiful like to reblog ratio on this
That's because people are reblogging it every time they see it. Like I'm doing right now lmao
not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to
I had a brain worm, and I couldn't study for finals until I got it out.
Damn adorable cats
(eating a pill i found on the floor of the club bathroom) hope it's a placebo. i don't need any effects right now
models on the runway... plenty of confidence. i respect it. when i have to turn around, go back inside and get a whole new outfit on there's usually more shame involved
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
