why did the cake is a lie become the like most quoted portal thing when literally everything glados said was funnier 

“Look, we both said a lot of things that *you’re* going to regret.”

“Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it. WELL I WONT LET YOU. how does that feel?”

“Nice job breaking it, hero”

“Look at you. sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagle…piloting a blimp”

Like this bitch had a goldmine of good lines

“Maybe after you finish this test, I’ll let you take the elevator all the way up to the break room… and I’ll tell you about the time I saw the deer again.”

“It’s a mystery I’ll have to solve later. By myself. Because you’ll be dead.”

“Did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noise– * really loud ass train horn* “I’m sorry, I don’t know why that went off. Anyway, just an interesting science fact.“ 

“Well done. Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. I’m serious, that’s what it says: A horrible person. We weren’t even testing for that.”

“Don’t let that ‘horrible person’ thing discourage you. It’s just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother’s decision to abandon you on a doorstep.”

”Remember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you. And I’m sorry. You didn’t react at the time, so I was worried it sailed right over your head. Which would have made this apology seem insane. That’s why I had to call you garbage a second time just now.“

“Wait. This next test DOES require some explanation. Let me give you the fast version- [unintelligible] There. If you have any questions, just remember what I said in slow motion. Test on your own recognizance, I’ll be right back.”

“This next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? They’re the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. That’s you in five seconds. Good luck.”

“That jumpsuit you’re wearing looks stupid. That’s not me talking, it’s right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks stupid. Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably - Oh, wait. It’s a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!”

“Oh, hi. How are you holding up? Because I’m a POTATO.”

”Remember, these exhibits ARE interactive. Like a children’s museum. So that means the pits of acid are filled with REAL acid. Like at a WELL FUNDED children’s museum.“

“Federal regulations require me to warn you that this next test chamber…. is looking pretty good.”

Most of these quotes are either from the second game or near the end of the first one.

They probably didnt get far enough…

what if oregon trail was called wagon age: oregons

This made me so angry the first time I saw it I’m reblogging it again.

Day 63: No darkspawn today. Alistair has died of dysentery.

#day 173: dog hasn’t come back with the stick#the archdemon hasn’t paid taxes#zevran has yet to wear clothes for the winter

Scientists invented fabric that makes electricity from motion and sunlight. To create the fabric, researchers at Georgia Tech wove together solar cell fibers with materials that generate power from movement. It could be used in “tents, curtains, or wearable garments,” meaning we’d virtually never be without power. Source

Y'all are fucking idiots. Clean energy will NEVER be enough to replace the energy we have now. We’d have to tear down DOZENS of forests just to fit enough windmills and solar panels to get even a QUARTER (probably less, tbh) of the energy we can produce now.

Yeah, sure, when they’ve already calculated that a few square miles of panels in the empty ass Arizona desert could power the whole nation. But ok, fracking and the diminishing petroleum supply is worlds better.

We make enough power off just a couple panels on the roof that the excess is sold back to the city power grid in the summer.

California? Arizona?  Nope. Seattle, Washington

Anyone who doesn’t think solar is viable is a jackass.

Don’t even stop with the US.

What about fucking Australia? Or Africa?

Those places could become economic juggernauts with the amount of free energy they could generate with all that empty space and direct exposure to sunlight.

Imagine what that would do for everything from factory work to science and tech.

I read somewhere that if color energy weren’t given any subsidies, that solar would actually be cheaper. Wind power already is cheaper than coal.

So if the government gave solar the same subsidies that coal has, we could be producing the same amount of energy for cheaper than we already are AND it would be 100% clean.

So there’s no logical reason to not be using clean energy at this point (except maybe that the fossil fuel companies continue to bribe our politicians into siding with them and pay their way out of punishment when they commit crime)

“clean energy takes up too much space” is such a minor inconvenience compared to the human lives that have been threatened and lost thanks to fracking and fossil fuel reliance in general

Now here’s an important thing, how do we go to clean energy and not screw over coal miners like Margaret Thatcher?

Implement universal income. 

@ scarletgoldenthorn   it is almost an embarrassment, 13 seconds to google, copy to desktop, copy again to blog.  Any way here is your area to be cleared.

There’s a significant danger in the rise of anti-science which leads to the kind of unhealthy speculation like “coal and oil are better” camps that crop up so frequently.

It’s on purpose. It’s corporation driven.

They would rather put the entire world in danger than admit there are cleaner, better alternatives. If they really gave a shit about the planet they would invest their money in clean energy sources.

How quickly we forget (x)

a little comic about kisses and curses. happy halloween!

watching trump slowly figure out what the presidency actually entails is a lot like what i imagine gilderoy lockhart looked like when the hogwarts teachers called his bluff and sent him into the chamber of secrets

I can’t stop laughing at how true this post is

Daily reminder!

PETA is going to have a fit.

Can you imagine waking up behind this on a roadtrip??

asking your friends about their kinks

im fucking sobbing about the shitty outdated animation software that my computer science professor makes us use

sometimes when you delete an object from the 3d model gallery, it will fuckin g turn and look at you judgementally

LOOK

this seems like the complete opposite of a problem

Damn

damn, nana,.

Earlier I called up the offices of several state senators

I spoke to several staffers and asked if their bosses planned to join the growing list of senators voicing their opposition to Steve Bannon being on White House staff

Do you know what one of them asked me?

“Are you keeping a list of senators who don’t speak out?”

We can put pressure on these officials.

Organize an event, get some friends together, order a pizza for lunch and start making calls.

Call their state offices. And then call their DC offices.

Don’t send an email. Don’t write a letter. Call.

And if they say nothing, put them on a list. We will remember who they are and what they didn’t do.

Do this, CALL, and remember that Republican senators can absolutely be worked on, too. There’s already blowback against Bannon from some more old school conservatives.

This is my own short script, in case anyone wants it:

(If you get resistance, ask where/when constituents can see the Senator’s statement regarding why it is acceptable for a President’s top advisor to be a proud promoter of bigotry, including explicit neo-Nazi ideology, because this isn’t an issue that can be ignored.)

Use sites like http://whoismyrepresentative.com Or do a quick search for [your state] representative/ senator. They likely have website with their number listed.

This kind of thing is what signal boosts were created for.
