Watching people… use their mental health… get out of/ away with things… makes me so..

“You’re not supposed to say anything negative about me/tell me the truth/disagree with me because I’m mentally ill and it’s not right. You’re supposed to be on my side always and if you dare be against me you don’t care about mental health!”

My art teacher in grade 8 had ADHD and was Bipolar on top of that and on the first day of class the first thing he told us was that sometimes he would yell at us without really meaning to. And he told us that if it ever happened to call him out because his mental illness didn’t give him the excuse to treat us like shit.

Mental health issues (as well as some other disabilities) EXPLAIN your behavior, but it doesn’t EXCUSE your behavior.

Oh shit. I never realized this.

This is a depressing reality every 4th of July.

So they go around the world bombing and killing people and then expect us to feel sorry for them?? Nah son, you deserve it.

me if i ever find out any of my neighbors are veterans

Hmmm. I mean, just because the army as an institution is flawed and damaging doesn’t mean everyone in it is a terrible person. To paint every single veteran with the same brush is reductive and to make light of the debilitating mental disorders many have just seems wrong. Like yes, fuck the military as an institution completely 100%, but blaming disabled ex-front-line infantry maybe isn’t the best direction for our anger, perhaps.

A lot of veterans are poor people who were intentionally targeted by scouting programs coming to their schools starting at age 13, and most of them are worse off coming back than they were to start with… let’s be courteous to folks with PTSD

Don’t be an ableist fuckface. Intentionally triggering someone is disgusting.

I thought people on this godforsaken website at least understood this one basic principal, but apparently not, so let me make it crystal clear: 

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE SELECTIVELY PROGRESSIVE 

You can hate Ann Coulter. But if you suggest that she deserves to be raped, you are a misogynist.

You can hate Woody Allen. But if you say he’s part of a Jewish conspiracy or joke about putting him in an oven, you are an antisemite.

You can hate Michael Vick. But you call for him to be lynched or call him the N-word, you are an anti-black racist. 

You can hate Caitlyn Jenner. But if you misgender her, or make comments about her genitalia, you are a transphobe. 

And you can hate the military. But if you deliberately try to trigger veterans with PTSD, you are an ableist piece of shit. 

You do no get to pick and choose which people to treat fairly when it comes to acknowledging and combatting prejudice. 

Not liking a person is not a free pass to disregard anti-prejudicial words and actions. Either you respect marginalized peoples as a whole (even if you don’t like an individual), or you don’t respect them at all. There is no middle ground. 

If anyone really like, agrees with harassing veterans with PTSD or anything similar, unfollow me right the fuck now. I don’t want you following me.

You don’t have to like the military, it’s massively fucked up but y'all needs understand that most people in the military are victims of propaganda and are usually poor or part of a minority who are taken advantage of in order to join.

^^^ All of these comments tbh

Mhmm

They offered the ASVAB at my HIGH SCHOOL. They CAME INTO MY SCHOOL and said “If you guys take the military aptitude test, you get free donuts and you miss the first half of the day.” They brought in hot dogs. They brought food to a place where half of us were in poverty if not more, and they said, all you have to do is take a little test and you’ll get a snack, you don’t have to come in to school on time (an extra full hour of sleep that morning!). So we did. By the hundreds. My younger brother, a year behind me in school, scored “the highest we’ve ever seen in the whole damn state, son,” and for the next. Three. Fucking. Years. They harassed him. He got phone calls from every goddamn branch of the military. People would show up at our house at random, trying to recruit him. They’d tell him horror stories about how much better it is to enlist than be drafted (as if there’d been a draft in our lifetime!). They called our Mom at work. They sent recruiters to talk to our stepfather, who’d been in the Army, to try to get a handle on my brother’s weak points. THREE FUCKING YEARS OF THIS. My brother is the second child of six. My brother was thirteen by the time he had his own pillow for the first time. My brother was hungry all the time, dizzy from hunger some days–and oh, sidenote, my mother, stepfather and father are all abusive assholes who’d as soon hit you as look at you. Guess what year my brother graduated? If you guessed “May, 2002,” or “almost immediately after 9/11,” ding ding ding ding! The ONLY REASON my brother didn’t join the military, in the end, is that his girlfriend at the time said “If you enlist, I will never speak to you again.” Her dad was a military man, and he was also an abusive shithead, so in her head the two were inextricable. But if she’d said “go for it?” Or if she hadn’t said anything at all? Something like half of the males in my fucking graduating class enlisted. It was better than starving. And a great number of those are dead now. I hate the US military industry. I’m disgusted by the things our military does. But by god I don’t blame our veterans for what was done to them. Rich people don’t enlist. The ones who join the military are the ones who are hopeful that for once they’ll know that they’re getting a meal, not just today but tomorrow too.

Every damn point of the thread.

The soldiers are, by and large, as much a victim as anyone else.

i’m going to cry why are people so horrible

Reblog the spacejam coin for luck and money

In case anyone’s wondering is because getting an x ray once is so barely harmful that it rounds to zero but standing in front of an x ray emitter 40 hours a week for years will definitely kill you

If I go to the bar and have one drink with the bartender I’ll be fine. If the bartender has a drink with every patron then they will die

This is all true and immediately obvious to anyone who thinks about it for more than 1.5 seconds, but it doesn’t change the fact that “dude goes to egypt to press a button” is still the funniest set of words I’ve read today.

just a reminder to lgbt people that you don’t have to jump into a relationship with the first person to show interest with you. i know it can feel like you’ll never have another chance, but if you don’t feel safe with and respected by the other person, you shouldn’t get involved. i want all of you to be treated well, form healthy, mutual bonds. there’s no need to rush things or try to become a different person just to please someone.

ATTENTION PET OWNERS

This post is going to rushed but I’m still shaking and it’s hard to type but I NEED people to know this

My mom just took my dog to the vet She(my dog) was(still is?) having a seizure

Last month we took my dog to the vet and they told us she had developed diabetes, they told us it was caused by the food she was eating, purina beneful. They told us that there have been many many many reports of Beneful has been causing diabetes, seizures, and even death in dogs.

We had no idea

We immediately switched her food and put her on a special diet plan for her diabetes, unfortunately the effects were already permeate.

Today at 11:20 my mom woke me up crying, I helped her carry my dog to the car (while she was still having a seizure) and watched her drive away red faced and still crying.

Please please PLEASE if you are feeding your pets Purina beneful PLEASE switch their food ASAP Beneful is poising dogs and I don’t want anyone else to experience what I just did Also if you could please help me signal boost this so everyone can know

This would explain why my dog has seizures now…fucking hell

Reblog and save lives of dogs

found out purina was the reason my dog winston had been having seizures and puking. please don’t feed your dog purina.

reblog even if you don’t own a dog or even if you’re not “a dog person” because I can’t even imagine how horribly depressed I would be if this happened to my dog

My last dog ate this for years, and started to have seizures, they got so bad and he got so sick we ended up having to put him down. PLEASE DO NOT feed your dog beneful

Purina and other mainstream dog brands are and have always been garbage. I recommend https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/ for researching dog food brands.

So I was just sent this. Thought y’all might wanna take a looksie.

Yeah, it’s actually there at https://discordapp.com/terms

you…. you do realize they NEED these terms…… so that they can host images……. and let ppl see what you send……… right…………

Incapable of holding all knowledge, I did not! I was hopeful someone might be clear it up but I was also hopeful that it was possible to be polite about such things. Can’t win all the time, I guess!

perpetual - So they don’t have to set up some sort of content expiration scheme.

nonexclusive - so you can post it elsewhere and potentially sell it.  If anyone asks for exclusive access be very very sure you are getting paid.

transferable - If they get bought by another company they don’t have to wipe all content.

royalty-free - They are not paying you to use their service to host your content

sublicensable - so they can have a 3rd party (like Amazon EC2) do the actual hosting, or provide another service with that content, like chat bots, giphy, etc.

worldwide license - They don’t have to geolock it

to use - Blanket right to use in their app

to host - Otherwise everything has to be externally linked

reproduce,  publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display - Every time someone views the content it is being reproduced because that is the nature of the web.

modify, adapt, create derivative works from  - Resize, transcode, change formatting, make thumbnails, etc.

in connection with operating and providing the Service. - Limits these abilities for the sole purposes of being used in the app.  Excludes their use in advertising, selling their own copy of stuff, or claiming any sort of ownership outside of the Discord app.

I hope that helps.  Legalese can be a little bit daunting but if you know what to look for, like nonexclusive and “ in connection with operating and providing the Service“ you can put your concerns to rest.

PSA

this is such bullshit i’m fucking furious

look: i understand artistic license. but also i am an animal with an animal-brain understanding of pain, so every time i see an illustration of some beautiful completely naked person perched gracefully on a craggy rock, i can’t help but think: has this artist ever…. had, a butt? ever…. experienced sittery on a…. less than ideal surface? ever once sat on a lego and been filled with the screams of their ancestors? no?

i constantly have to remind myself that pop rocks (not even a bootleg version, just pop rocks) existed in the fallout universe and if it was combined with nuka cola the effects would cause you to violently explode

kadabra following you is literally terrifying

To the person who posted the Jenga tower earlier. Your move.

how the FUCK

here’s a handy checklist for anyone considering redeeming a villain!!!

are they…

❏ a wife beater? ❏ sexually abusive? ❏ violent towards small children? ❏ extremely racist? ❏ a goddamn fascist?

if you checked any of these boxes, not only should you not redeem that villain, but I’m also going to come to your house and pour sewer water into your sock drawer for even considering it
