idk guys when people come over to my place I also say “welcome to my house, enter freely and of your own will” it’s a very normal human person thing to say

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

thank you wikipedia for this really good image

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

there should be a socially acceptable way to say "im not sure what to say to that. can you say something different"

people dont get this post they think its a problem of not understanding what the other person said but the thing people seem to not get is that having autism will just rob you of a conversation tree. there is just nothing to be said ever

Every piece of dogshit art makes the world a better place to live. Better to create poorly than not at all.

mean girls the movie (2004) is obviously super gay and doesn't know it, in the way every teen movie from the 90s and 00s was super gay and didn't know it. that was part of the fun. bring it on. empire records. 10 things i hate about you/lesbian icon patrick verona. but how to explain mean girls the musical (2018), which SHOULD know how gay it is, but somehow DOESN'T

related: the only valid mean girls futurefic to me is when regina george is still an unrepentant maniac. i get that some people enjoy cute character rehabilitation but i am bamboozled by its prevalence in the little stories we tell each other here on the internet. garbage woman representation is also important. regina should be a human adult monster, that's her job. if we must rehabilitate her, i think at BEST we just channel her sociopathy somewhere constructive, like crime. wheres my mean girls nonfiction where janis runs into regina dyeing her hair in a gas station bathroom bc she is faking her own murder and framing her idiot husband about it

you know, regina's "she's channeling her aggression into sports!" arc never really worked for me because regina george's problem isn't JUST aggression and evil, her problem is being about 100 times smarter than everybody else and getting absolutely no joy out of it!!!! to be a hot teen girl is to be told you have power. to be a SMART hot teen girl is to discover that what "power" you have is no currency. it is something people tell you you have so that they can either 1. blame you for things or 2. wriggle into your light. it takes the heat off the people with actual power (ADULTS), and it gives you nothing that lasts!!! "you are the most powerful shark in this inflatable dog pool." wow, thank you so much! this is great! i love having the """power""" to, at best, destroy my own environment and then die to spite you!!! but the only vengeance you can get for this fucking GROSS DECEPTION is on other hapless teens who are no worthy prey and whose pain provides no lasting satisfaction. and that is why i will write a novel where she marries and destroys a thinly-veiled mark zuckerberg analogue

POV: your friend is an ecology major and has beef with random animals

Falsehood and slander!

No animal is useless, and just because we don't understand the thousands of intricate links between an animal and every part of its ecosystem, doesn't mean that animal is pointless.

And so what if an animal truly was pointless? Is it not valuable by virtue of merely existing? Giant Pandas are a unique event in the history of the cosmos, something that the universe permitted to exist right here and right now, and wouldn't it be all the more beautiful and meaningful that Giant Pandas do exist, if there is no practical purpose to their existence—if they exist because of the generosity and superfluity of life that brings creatures into existence for their own sake?

Neither are cheetahs in the "wrong place"—they are a fragile species because they suffered from a genetic bottleneck in their recent evolution lowering the vigor and robustness of the gene pool. Because they are specialized for chasing prey rather than ambush or cooperative hunting, their hunting strategy is high risk, and they are not large or powerful enough to effectively defend their kills from scavengers or other predators. But none of that means that their way of life is inferior.

Furthermore, the Midwestern United States would not be a suitable habitat for cheetahs, because there is very little appropriate prey and numerous adaptable carnivore and scavenger species that would compete with it.

The cheetah feeds on small to medium sized ungulate prey weighing 20 to 60 kilograms, but the Midwest's most abundant ungulates, the white-tailed deer and mule deer, would likely weigh around 50-140 kg in the Midwestern part of their range, making them only marginally suitable as prey. Pronghorn weigh 35-65 kilograms, but most other potential favored prey animals are way too large, with elk being around 300 kilograms and moose and bison larger still. There are no small antelopes or gazelles in North America that could form the cheetah's diet. Additionally they would have to compete with coyotes, wolves, bears, cougars, bobcats, and other animals for food and defend their kills from these animals.

Though the extinct Miracinonyx is sometimes called the "American cheetah," and is popularly supposed to have prompted the evolution of incredibly fast running speed in the pronghorn, the idea of cheetahs in prehistoric North America is misconception

Miracinonyx was more closely related to cougars than cheetahs and more cougar-like in its shape and adaptations. It's not a cheetah, not an ancestor of cheetahs, and probably didn't have the same hunting strategy as cheetahs, it's just another branch of the clade that includes both cougars and cheetahs.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

me teaching my pet vampire how to adapt to human society

universities linking to mental health resources in their press releases about student encampments r so disgusting like they constantly pivot to “mental health” as the framework for presenting ideological conflict, people are “understandably upset” about “difficult topics” and then they link to suicide hotlines and social worker appointment schedules like the thing people opposing genocide and apartheid really need is a therapist. & I know this is nothing new like institutions use psychiatry as a tool of controlling and managing oppressed people everywhere but it’s just another reminder in a sea of a thousand reminders that HR offices are one of the frontline ghouls of this fucking death spiral of imperialism. all to protect the right to massacre children

"I wasted my 20s", cool man, just in time for all the gay sex and weird tattoos you're about to have in your 30s

for the rest of my life i dont ever wanna hear someone say they dont like rap bc of some dumbfuck assumption theyre making about an entire genre if you tell me youre a metal fan and you dont like rap because 'its too violent' im gonna swing until i hit you in the head. what the hell are you talking ABOUT

bc thats the root of it isnt it? violence is fine as long as its palatable aesthetic violence by someone who looks like you. female rage is fine as long as its white female rage. sex is empowering as long as its sex YOU like or YOU can project onto or YOU can objectify. you get to dismiss the contents of an entire fucking genre of music due to your own racist assumptions about it while not even following the rules you laid down yourself. because when you do it its fine right? when someone like you does its fine. shut the fuck up

the white boy tears enamel pin is back! it sold badly in its first run and i forgot i had them but here they are again

🇵🇸 Happening right now in Malmö, Sweden.

A huge crowd of pro-Palestine protests have gathered ahead of tonight's Eurovision semi-final in Malmö, where Israel will be one of the participating countries.

Israel's representing artist, Eden Golan—who was initially supposed to perform tonight with the song "October Rain," before the EBU forced Israel to rewrite it into the little less overtly genocidal "Hurricane"—has promised that the first thing she'll do after returning from Eurovision, is to join the IDF:

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

And if you're in Malmö, please join the protesters!

There are snipers on the roofs

Eurovision would rather see snipers and massive protests than kick out the genocidal apartheid state
