I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless

Every callout post that's like "she jacks off to Weird Porn! Isn't that gross? Don't you hate it?" I mean maybe but I have the same reaction to sour cream. Personally I'm in the habit of using my brain to determine if something is ethical/moral/etc or not instead of just my first knee jerk reaction, like, "is this actively harmful to anyone involved" is a more useful question than "do I personally think it's gross"

Also if you find yourself doing mental gymnastics to explain why something could hypothetically be harmful, potentially, under the right circumstances, it's probably Just Gross. Especially if the scenario you crafted involves a secret third party besides the Consenting Adults involved ??? You are making up a guy to be mad at, my friend

Now with added testosterone!

Tekstitykset sekaisin Ylellä

Finnish public broadcasting company YLE accidentally had wrong subtitles over The Moomins.

Moominmamma: Where is that bold lesbian I fell in love with? Little My: Fucking shit Groke: Come on now, Mervi! He(?) keeps touching everyone* Moomintroll: You’ve just got a too sexy ass for your own good.

*(assuming it’s he. Finnish is gender neutral language so we don’t know who the gender pronoun se is referring - but since Mervi is girl’s name, I assume se means a guy.)

So this reminds me of that one time a swedish politcal debate got it's subtitles mixed up with a kid's show (at least at local newspaper Smålandsposten):

Former leader of the liberal party (liberalerna), Jan Björklund: "I'm building the best sand castle in the galaxy!"

One of the former leaders of the green party (Miljöpartiet), Åsa Romson: "Greetings, earthling!"

Former leader of the left party (Vänsterpartiet), Jonas Sjöstedt: "Ants? Ants!"

Former leader of the social democrat party (socialdemokraterna), and former swedish prime minister, Stefan Löfven: "The latest invention: the amazing dinosaur-train...submarine!"

Former member of parliament for the christian democrats (kristdemokraterna), Andreas Carlson: "Ignore the norms, dinousaurs comes in all forms!" *

*The more correct translation is possibly "dinosaurs comes in all shaped and sizes", but then it wouldn't rhyme. And it DOES rhyme in swedish!

@karanan

i was playing scrabble and i had a B, U, R, G, E, and R and i thought “aha burger, one who burgs, but my mom will never accept that as a word” but then i remembered burger is actually a word

one time I played the word “am” and I thought, they can totally let that slide because of AM radio and A.M time.

then i remembered 

Scrabble does things to your mind that you can never come back from.

I once was playing and put down ‘cow’ but in my mind I was saying it so it rhymed with ‘crow’ and I told my friend that it might not be a real word but I’m playing it and he can’t stop me and he looked me right in the eye and said it like how ‘cow’ is supposed to be said and I was so mad at myself I nearly flipped the board.

My brother played the word ‘scrabble’ and my mom said, “I actually don’t think that’s a word.” And I said, “yes it is? ‘scrabbled eggs’???”

One time my mom played “early,” and I was like: “What does that mean? Resembling an earl?”

I once completely mindblanked and had someone help me with any word and they put down foot. I immediately exclaimed foot, pronounced like shoot, but what does it mean.

This is genius. Off to search the kitchen for new character names.

they really killed off all based finnish people (aka communists) back in 1920s, huh.

that's honestly insane. 3% OF THE THE TOTAL FINNISH POPULATION WAS MURDERED AND JAILED BY ANTI COMMUNIST REACTIONARY GOVERNMENT. for the crime of fighting for working class interests and defending the country from the foreign monarch being forced on them (look up prince frederick charles of hesse). those are genocidal levels of national victims so no wonder it's a taboo topic. the current finnish government is generational heir to bourgeoise oppressors who have done those atrocities to their own people back then.

Sadly there was a lot of misogynist violence especially directed against Red Finnish women who defied traditional gender roles and fought in the Civil War.  

"Women wearing men's clothing, such as trousers or a military outfit, were commonly considered armed fighters and summarily shot. Women tried to get rid of their trousers, and sometimes wore nothing but underpants as they were picked from a crowd of captured Reds."

This as a powerful film on the topic

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

The Boy and the Hooded Crow (1884) by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931, Finnish)

being an adult with adhd is just humiliating like i can’t begin a task if there are no immediate negative consequences for not doing the task so basically i’m an adult who needs adult supervision

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

to my knowledge these are all of the existing examples. if you have more please add them to the post

GREAT NEWS THERES MORE!!!!

Having an argument in the server. I need to prove I am not insane for putting sliced sandwich bread/white bread/loaf whatever do u call this 🍞 in the freezer.
