how fucking arrogant can you be to think any eugenics program could ever weed out “fascist genetics”. even if the “dark triad” was a reliable precursor to fascist ideology and even if “dark triad traits” could be reliably linked to genotype (they aren’t and they can’t be), how fucking far to jupiter are you if you think you can remove it from a population of seven billion, let alone in some “anarchist” manner? how do you programmatically sterilize anyone in an “anarchist” manner?

Do you ever see some discourse float by and think “Maybe I’m not hanging out on the worst parts of Tumblr, actually”

imagine you knew a dude and you were pretty chill with him, maybe you were friends but youre not really sure, but one day he just starts attacking you and gets taken away by the cops and you never see him again. a few months later you go to a play with your new group of friends and you find out via the play he died. thats how zuko felt watching jet die in the ember island players episode

zuko watching stage jet play around in some trees with the original trio: oh cool I didn’t know you guys knew jet. i met him once on a trip to ba sing se, we stole some food, got into the city, had a fight, and he was hauled off by the dai li and i havent seen him since lol

zuko watching stage jet get brainwashed and die: WHAT THE FUCK

Zuko’s having a minor crisis here and Sokka thinks he’s just referring to the play.

Anonymous asked:

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

I did not know this, but it makes so much sense, and it's SO good to learn fanfiction history.

Is THAT where "No [X], we die like men" comes from?????

also greg is the most bisexual-coded cartoon dad ever

so greg you're telling me your conservative family doesnt approve of your musical awakening coming from a naked gay icon in gnc/drag makeup and they want to send you to the military but you ran away and changed your name and ended up with a musical aesthetic best described as indie glam rock dad with a non-binary space alien gf instead? das crazy, tell me more about how straight you are

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY

that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.

all right, I think I got this, I've got dual citizenship and I have another flag we can borrow from:

step 1

step 2

step 3

This is true bi/ace solidarity.

  1. swapped purple in bisexual and asexual flags for better saturation matching and color theory

If you have never seen this film, you should. The production values are amazing. This is not cosplay by enthusiastic fans. It is a film that has real actors playing Aragorn, Gandalf, and Arwen. Someone wrote and performed a musical score for the film. Elves speak Elvish. There are extended fight scenes with orcs. There are special effects. They do Gollum really well, both the voice and the distance shots of Gollum. They put serious money into this, judging by the lengthy credits.

Highly recommended.

Wait, it got better.

He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:

For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton

You know, it makes perfect sense that the guy who would amuse himself by going around Twitter as above would also have come up with the skateboarding cousin Throckmorton for a word problem.

Like it totally follows.

I just want to formally acknowledge to the person driving in front of me with bumper stickers reading "I'd Rather Be Slowly Consumed By Moss," "Slime Mold Is My Co-Pilot," and "Honk If You'd Rather Be Watching The Cinematic Masterpiece 'The Mummy' Starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz" that I know you have an account here and I approve of you
