Apple has updated its software for iPhones to address a critical vulnerability that independent researchers say has been exploited by notorious surveillance software to spy on a Saudi activist.

Hey folks – if you have an iOS device, please update it. Like TODAY. This is not a drill: this shit is serious. …And please reblog, so as many people see this quickly as possible.

Thanks, all.

My favorite catholic lore is that anyone can make holy water in a pinch but the church puts dumb restrictions on us like ‘do this only if someone needs their last rites’ like I WILL bless this McDonald’s sprite and I WILL enjoy the crispiness of our lord and savior

Another bit is that holy water cannot be diluted. When I went to the Vatican the tour guide was explaining this, if you put any amount of holy water into any amount of normal water, the whole bunch becomes holy. This is how they sell Pope Holy Water in the gift shop. This is how I've been drinking only holy water for two months now. I am immune to demons.

It’s not actually any amount of holy water- according to the Church, the water has to be more than half holy water by volume. So if you take a half gallon+a few drops of holy water and a half gallon of secular water, you get one gallon of holy water, plus a few drops. You can then add a gallon of secular water to that and then you have two gallons of holy water. We’ve got a couple jugs of Pope Water in the linen closet at my parents’ house, because my mom used the heck out of this loophole after a trip to Italy in 2008. It was more than a decade ago at this point and we still have Pope Water. We no longer have that Pope, but by god do we have his water.

Here’s what a jug of Pope water looks like. Mom measured a fill line on them so that we never accidentally run out and just have old jugs of secular water lying around.

I almost blurred out this guy’s name but he was proud enough to post on twitter and seems to be enjoying all the comments. If you never understood tipping, let me help. Tipping is just...a thing we do. And because it’s a thing, the government likes it and dips their fingers in it. So pretend you’re a server. You bill the table $100. The government and their taxes, goes, “Okay, $100 to the restaurant eh? And the server must’ve gotten, what? $10-$20? THEY POCKETED IT?! PWAAAAA? I DONT THINK SO! TAX EM!”

Basically Uncle Sam assumes you were tipped. Those tips are taxed. So let’s SAY you make $120 a shift, just working your shift. Now, if you pull in an additional $100 from tips alone...like I said, Uncle Sam wants some. If you pocket the cash tips and pretend you didn’t get tipped, or get stiffed on a tip, you could OWE MONEY come tax time. Why? Uncle Sam wants some of that tip money baby.

So when you have a shitty night and only get X amount of tips, it can hurt you if it keeps happening. Uncle Sam assumes you’re stealing money (“How do you keep not getting tipped every night?! You must be pocketing it and not telling anyone grrrrrrr!!”). Pretend you serve a huge banquet—$1,000.00 bill. The party pays $1,000.00 cash and dips, no tip. The server is fucked because it’s hard to believe they didn’t make a dime in tips—again, Uncle Sam would assume the greedy server pocketed $100-$200 for themselves.

Anyway, if you can’t afford to tip—stay in. This asshole had a $10.67 bill. Even a measly 10% would’ve been a fucking dollar. You’re paying for food, yes. But you’re paying for service too. Refills, making sure your food comes out, offering suggestions, setting and clearing the table...it’s a service. Pretend you’re paying someone to cook, do the dishes for you, and make sure you don’t have to stand up for anything. Otherwise, stay the fuck home or go to a buffet where you can feel you’ve won something by not tipping. Which even at a buffet you should drop a few bucks for the folks making food.

Sorry. I hate this mentality of showing off your ignorance with humor. And the comments backing this asshole are gross.

I hate that I don't think of stuff like this because 1) I feel like we should have a class on it and 2) if I don't think of it most people won't, so it's perpetuating a problem

samcahntent

Same! I had NO idea until I was a busboy about a decade ago—and it trickled down. So when a server got stiffed I did too because servers tip out busboys/hosts typically. Also I’d be like, “oh boo hoo they didn’t get bonus money on their hourly wage” but when it was explained to me, it all made sense. When we don’t know about things, we perpetuate the problem. This post has 3,000 notes so 3,000 people have seen it; and that’s why it’s good to understand. Hopefully this asshole sees this one day—he likely won’t and likely isn’t the type to change his ways according to how he’s taken to comments, but if we all have a shift in mentality when it comes to tipping, we’re making a dent.

My intention isn’t to BOSS people around. But people who don’t create on tumblr really have to understand that if creators stop posting here, you won’t have anything else to like but maybe memes. If you want content to circle around to your dashboard... you have to pay it forward and reblog. That is why this website is dying. The Ban is not the only reason.

nyctoheart

And its like.... people dont even fucking realize how special tumblr is

Tumblr doesn’t have verified checkmarks. Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm to you show ❝The Best Stuff❞. Tumblr doesn’t display how many followers you have. Tumblr isn’t obsessed with subscriptions.

Tumblr is an even playing field compared to websites like Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. Which means its up to us, the users, to spread the word of people we enjoy-- the way the internet should be.

I’m not asking you to reblog shit you don’t like. I’m not asking you to reblog everything out of pity. But when you see a post you genuinely like, reblog it.

The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

cheskamouse

This is a powerful positive message..

pluckyredhead

I’m literally reading a book right now (Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski) that says this is scientifically sound.

There have been studies done on rats and dogs where they develop learned helplessness in the animals by giving them impossible tasks. Eventually the animals stop trying, even when the task stops being impossible. (I.e. put a rat in a maze with cheese it can’t get to until it develops learned helplessness, then put the cheese somewhere it can get to it and it won’t even try.) But once they show the animals they CAN do something - i.e. physically moving the rat to the cheese - the learned helplessness goes away.

No one can move you to your cheese for you, but the book says DOING something - which they define as “anything that isn’t nothing” can help. Make a food. Work in the garden. Clean a thing. Do a favor for a friend. Call your elected officials.

Knit a sock.

If you feel overwhelmed by existential despair, do something. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be anything that isn’t nothing.

The other thing about measles is that it resets your body’s memory of other diseases. So all those times you’ve gotten sick? Your body’s memory cells no longer remember those illnesses, so even if you get the same type of illness again your body will react like it’s the first time you’ve been sick.

It’s so much worse than “just a disease”.

antivaxxers also sabotaged the human lyme disease vaccine. they literally conspired online in usenet boards to go out and participate in the vaccine trials, and they all proceeded to complain of arthritis, the only symptom of lyme disease they were apparently aware of. this caused media hysteria about the vaccine. if you remember the flu vaccine hysteria around the swine flu epidemic, it was kind of like that. despite double-blind trials being unable to support their claims and instead displaying that the vaccine was safe and effective, the damage was done, and the vaccine was shelved in the USA. you can get a lyme disease vaccine in Europe, but Europe has a different strain of the bacteria that causes lyme disease.

Lyme disease can become very serious, it can infect the nervous system and cause neurological problems especially in young children who are often bitten on the head or the neck, undiagnosed it can cause chronic health issues that mimic other diseases. Without safe prophylactic measures beyond trying to minimize contact w ticks, this has driven people who have had lyme disease, have chronic effects from mass-disseminated lyme disease infection, or people who believe they have chronic lyme disease to go to quack doctors and undergo unsafe, unapproved medical treatment in an attempt to stop suffering.

This would not be happening on the scale that it is if antivaxxers didn’t straight up execute a supervillain plot to sabotage the lyme disease vaccine bc this happened the same year andrew wakefield published his fraudulent research on the MMR vaccine

I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won't be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it's extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn't feel bad.
