yeah boss i don’t tbink he’s the guy youd want to be quoting on that ☠️

Boycott Disney. Boycott McDonald's. Boycott Starbucks. "Oh but it won't work, it won't do anything" Yes it will. Boycotts have worked before and they will again. Think of the Montgomery bus boycotts. Think about American women boycotting imported British goods during the revolution.

Why do you think popular media is so quick to discount boycotts as ineffective? Could it possibly be because they work? Could it be because major corporations understand that they work and are scared? Could it be because boycotts have historically been utilized by marginalized groups to assert their views and fight for change within a conflict in which they have no power?

Do not have give in to the apathetic nihilism of "nothing I do matters, so why bother?" That is exactly what oppressors count on. Be critical of the media you consume. Ask questions. Look to history. Boycott.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

pääministeri urpo vuonna 20XX: asumistuki poistetaan ja kela alkaa lainaamaan telttoja asumistukea aiemmin nostaneille. vähintään vuosittain on tehtävä selvitys teltan tarpeesta ja kunnosta. mikäli teltta jostain syystä hajoaa on asiasta tehtävä selvitys. mikäli teltan hajoamisen syy koetaan kelassa päteväksi voi hajonnutta telttaa vastaan saada uuden tilalle (huomioithan käsittelyajat). mikäli hajoamiselle ei ole pätevää syytä joutuu uuden teltan hankkimaan itse ja korvaamaan valtiolle vanhan teltan hinnan korkoineen sekä asian käsittelykulut. jokaisen tulee itse maksaa leiriytymisestä mahdollisesti johtuvat lisäkulut (sähkö, vesi, jne). kaikilla kelalta teltan lainanneilla työttömillä on velvollisuus ottaa töitä vastaan mistä vain suomen rajojen sisäpuolelta työkkäri ehdottaakaan työpaikkaa. työn perässä on muutettava. kelan lainaamaa telttaa EI saa viedä suomen rajojen ulkopuolelle. mikäli tästä jää kiinni niin kela perii teltan takaisin ja sakottaa rikkomuksesta (näin ennaltaehkäistään sitä että joku yrittää saada henkilökohtaista hyötyä myymällä valtion omaisuutta ulkomaille). mikäli tulosi ovat suuremmat kuin halvimman teltan hinta et ole oikeutettu kelan lainaamaan telttaan vaan joudut hankkimaan sellaisen ihan itse.

Saw another poll that asked what your natural hair color was with half the choices being shades of blonde and that just won't do. Let's go about this the professional way (this does not describe tone but tones are based off this level system). Some natural levels fall in between these, as human variation will do, but go with what you believe is closest.

Feel free to describe your tone in the tags!

*some level systems include levels 11 and 12 but these are strictly to describe shades lightened above a level 10 and are not considered on the naturally occurring spectrum for hair aside from going lighter with age

I once chatted with a guy from Hawaii, we started talking about languages. I mentioned that while I've heard very little of it and hardly seen more of it written down, the Hawaiian language seems to have extremely similar balance of vocals and consonants as Finnish does, so it's actually pretty likely that there are some words that exist in both languages, but mean one thing in Hawaiian and a completely differen thing in Finnish - much like in Japanese.

He didn't find it plausible, so we agreed to disagree. Later on he mentioned that his name is [firstname] Kalani Kanaele, and when I told him what that translates to in Finnish, I had to spend like 20 more minutes trying to convince him that I'm actually not fucking with him.

Okay so in finnish, "kala" means "fish" - just any fish, fish in general, and "kana" means "chicken". "Ele" is "gesture", as in a physical movement that an animal or human does to nonverbally communicate something. The -ni suffix is a possessive referring to oneself, essentially "my". In finnish, compound words are of the "if it doesn't exist yet, I can make one up on the spot" variety, so almost all nouns can be slapped together to refer to something specific.

So, broken down like this and put back together, this dude's name translates to "the chicken-like gesture that my fish makes."

everyone has to stop making posts like "the world's loneliest ant has died in secret" its making me sad

the worlds happiest ant has found large strawberry crumb

My brother would feed table sugar to the ants at our bus stop when we were kids. The mound was almost a foot high and twice or three times that wide when he stopped. Ant king, really.

when the gods stopped answering our prayers, the first thought was to wonder if the gods had abandoned us in our hubris. maybe we had taken all they had given for granted. maybe we should have been more pious, more grateful.

then came the thought, maybe the gods had all died. though, none of us had any idea how that could be so. they were so immense and unknowable. could they even die? what could kill a god?

but none of us, in our endless debates, ever guessed the truth.

the gods had switched school districts.

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

kitten, stop fucking around and tell daddy where you hid his prozac or daddy's gonna add another 'hey there delilah' to the sex playlist
