I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you
Don’t do this to me
my brother in christ you made the post
Maybe there wouldn't be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???
Also, these websites? The ones for software that sells it without actually explaining what they do? They're targeted at managers. Their business strategy is to convince your manager that the project desperately need gumbies with no consideration over whether or not this makes sense in the given context. They abuse the fact that if your boss asks you to use gumbies, no matter how many times the entire technical team explains to them that this makes no sense, your project is going to end up with gumbies.
They're targeted to "our hydrologic piston design needs to implement AI" type of managers. The "Tumblr needs to be the next generation's pdf" type of boss.
me at any given time: can we just buckle down and focus on the task at hand please???

Happy tenth anniversary to this comic. I just learned that it’s still being shared constantly on Tumblr. I don’t totally understand why people like it so much, but I like it too.

my partner has about 3 genres of youtube video they watch, so I've decided to combine them all into what would be their Ideal Video
Ok well this is also perfect for me
We had a patient last night who was a textbook case of electrolytes imbalance as a result of nausea and vomiting. And I didn’t say this to the patient because I didn’t think they’d appreciate it, but it’s kinda great when the way you are so so sick is like exactly like the textbooks say it’ll be. Like not good that you’re having sudden new onset muscle weakness and tingling, but buddy this is gonna get sorted out with an efficiency you won’t believe. We fixed like 85% of the stuff wrong with this patient by midnight and we marveled the whole time about how this patient was seemingly concocted in a lab so I could walk my trainee through a highly manageable crisis
It also meant I got to share with my trainee what is my absolute favorite part of the job: when you take someone who is So Miserable and you make them feel So Much Better that they start once again having a personality beyond suffering and crying. It’s like seeing a plant perk up after finally getting watered. Suddenly they’re joking, they’re laughing, you’re talking about stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with puking or tingling or bleeding or burning. They’ve got a bag of potassium phosphate going into their arm, and we’re cackling like banshees because your friend at bedside who has been so worried just made a really stupid joke. There is no sillier place in the hospital than the room where someone is giggling with the giddy joy you get when you feel pretty okay after just one hour ago everything sucking so, so, so, so bad.
This was me a few years ago when I had my first major POTS event (like, stood up and blacked out, couldn't lift my own head up, could barely move my hands to call for help), and Urgent Care sent me to the ER in a panic because I was so disorientated and out of it and just kept asking, "Why can I feel my pulse in my stomach?" they thought I was potentially having an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The ER were also a bit panicked until they ran some tests and went, "Oh Jesus, you have like no sodium in you," and proceeded to hook me up to multiple IV bags over the course of several hours while also giving me salty snacks to eat.
Turns out cutting out salt like my old doctor told me to hadn't been a good idea. Anyway. Can confirm, when you're dealing with an electrolyte imbalance it literally feels like you're gonna die but the minute you get that IV into you it's like being resurrected.
Your whole brain comes back online. Birds start singing again. You can remember the taste of strawberries and the way the sun kissed the green hills of the Shire.
You may or may not quote this line from LotR out loud on accident and momentarily render the nurse switching out your IV bag helpless with laughter because it's been a long day, and your loopy-ass is making up for it because they were able to fix you and any day you can help a patient so noticeably is a good one.
“Inevitability”A very bitter comic by me.
200 notes? I’m so proud
there is a huge difference between criticizing an institution and criticizing individual behavior. i can criticize the makeup industry without criticizing the 14 year old girl who uses concealer because she’s self-conscious about her acne; i can criticize the plastic surgery industry without vilifying the woman who decided to get a nose job after two decades of pointed comments and bullying. it is intellectually dishonest to respond to an institutional criticism as if it were a personal attack; on the flip side, it is cruel and unnecessary to leverage personal attacks in the name of institutional criticism
if i see one (1) more person respond to a perfectly reasonable beauty-industry-critical sentiment with “but i personally enjoy eyeshadow. why are you attacking people who like eyeshadow :(” or “exactly, all women who wear makeup are miserable and brainwashed” i am going to climb a tree and bite the top of it
Chuck Jones is the best counterexample to “the curtains are just blue” because you would not believe the amount of thought and art theory he put into his silly little cartoons
I need to dig out my Chuck Jones books but one time he was talking about the Wile E Coyote gag where he runs off a cliff and continues running for a little bit before noticing there’s no ground underneath him and then turns to the camera and holds up a sign saying “Help!” before plummeting and Jones said the reason Coyote does that instead of immediately trying to get back to the cliff edge is bc Coyote embodies anxiety and in that particular moment represents the fear and worry about the judgement of others over and above the desire for self-preservation.
Like, if someone was told that interpretation without knowing any better they’d think it came from some pretentious academic or whatever but nope! It’s literally the creator like those are the thoughts he had in his head when he was creating the cartoons
the Nine Rules of the Roadrunner cartoons always sticks with me. Rule 3 especially
@jared-wormsboy i am crying uncontrollably
I reference this in conversation sometimes assuming everyone knows about the Owl Attack Sex Playlist and i look fucking unhinged
I have an absolutely (lovely) deranged friend who has been playing through FF14 aetheryte-less. In the beginning, since one of our friends pestered her to grab her aetherytes, out of spite she made the decision she will go through the entirety of the game WITHOUT AETHERYTES. She's in Shadowbringers now. She doesn't even have the teleportation menu UNLOCKED. She takes public transport wherever possible. If that's not an option, she walks. There are quests that have you attune to aetherytes, but these haven't unlocked the teleportation menu for her. When she dies, she spawns back in Uldah which is a huge bother, but because her spite is more important to her than her time, she will LITERALLY WALK TO A DIFFERENT WORLD INSTEAD OF JUST UNLOCKING THE TELEPORTATION FEATURE.
Rereading The Hobbit, like you do, and when the party gets to Rivendell the narrator says “I wish I had time to tell you even a few of the tales or one or two of the songs that they heard in that house.”
And like. Jirt. My man.
I know it’s for narrative effect, but nothing I have ever read in my entire life has been less believable than Tolkien himself writing that he doesn’t have time to include a song.
Perhaps we are seeing the aftermath of a bitter fight with his editors.
The masc carabiner and the femme chatelaine.
You agree.
