Wow this is awesome I don’t even have a joke that’s genuinely impressive

See, this, I think, is what I love about Kronk.  On the shallowest surface level, he fills the “low IQ sidekick” role.  But ONLY on the shallowest surface level.

I’d have to watch the movie again to go into any detail, but Kronk is actually the smartest damn person IN this movie.  There’s nothing he doesn’t know, he’s got all this specialized knowledge, dude is probably horrifically well read.  He’s NOT stupid, he’s just eager to please and doesn’t have a proper “No” threshhold.

In the second gif, he’s like - “No, wait, I’m not who you think I am.”

Then in the fourth, he’s like - “Oh my God, the cook is gone and she’s got all these orders.  If somebody doesn’t cook that up people are going to get upset!  They’ll take it out on this poor woman who’s been on her feet all day and doesn’t deserve their wrath!  And…oh my God…PEOPLE WILL BE HUNGRY!”

Then in the sixth gif he’s like - “NOT ON KRONK’S WATCH!”

He’s doing the right thing and he knows it.  No judgement, no condescension, just always a moment to register the task at hand, determine the most logical course of action to completing it, and then it’s GO GO GO.

His only problem is that he never stops to ask himself whether this is actually his problem to solve, or whether people are taking advantage of him, and I love him for it.

I just…love him.

Kronk is the best hands down.

a round of applause for this masterful example of teamwork

So I’m currently enslaved employed by a cable company, and I can offer a few pointers:

People with ADHD tend to have time blindness.. Which means we dont tend to have a good grasp at how long things take.

Now this really fucks us up cause we end up being unable to start doing things cause we think it’ll take a long time only for it to take a very short time when we actually do it.

Now obviously if someone says ten minutes, we know what it means numerically. But what we don’t easily grasp is what can be done in those ten minutes.

My friends are coming over in ten minutes? I can easily clean up the house and change before then…… Wait, theyre already here? How’s that possible?!

Op I like you cuz you make me feel less shitty about my shortcomings. It’s not just me being shitty! Amazing! It’s a legit thing! Which I still need to deal with and stuff but at least it’s like, not just cuz I’m a terrible person!

A lot of what we are made to believe are our shortcomings are caused by factors outside of our control. We can learn to control them to a point but learning to recognize them as not completely our fault is incredibly freeing.

Does it work the other way round? Cause I often get extremely stressed out if I have to do more than one thing, feeling like no way in hell can I accomplish both in a day on time… and then both combined take like an hour and I’m left wondering why i assumed a phone call takes an entire day

From what I gather it absolutely does. Its the lack of understanding how time really works in relation to the duration of tasks. So whether that’s for some reason thinking a phone call and maybe one other small chore will take your entire day, or for some reason thinking you can do the dishes, get dressed, clean the cat box, and sweep the whole apartment in the 40 minutes before your friend shows up at your house, they stem from the inability to actually understand how time truely functions.

Personally I do both all the time.

That tool post got me thinking

If you’re LGBT

What’s your Sexualtiy, Sign, and favorite DnD Class

I’ll start!!

Pan/Sagittarius/Cleric

Relentlessly Gay™ / Libra / Warlock

Asexual homoromantic/Libra/Sorcerer

Bi/Aries/Fighter

Aro-Ace/ Leo/ Monk, Sorcerer(if 5e), Cleric with a dip into Fighter(if 3.5)

I’m not one to tell anybody they’re playing their character wrong, but I really think a lot of folks who play tieflings in 5E could benefit immensely from keeping a copy of the spell description for the thaumaturgy cantrip on hand at all times. There is some serious potential being missed here, is what I’m saying.

https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Thaumaturgy#content

Wow, that does indeed have a lot of potential.

Even for perfectly everyday Tieflings, they probably do things like slamming doors shut hands-free when they angrily storm out of places.

I know, right? A lot of folks dismiss thaumaturgy because its effects aren’t “useful”, but thaumaturgy isn’t about utility: it’s about drama. Even if you’re not big on Evoking Religious Dread, you can slam doors hands-free, conjure rimshots (ba-dum-TSHHH) for your own bad jokes, or megaphone-shout without the megaphone. You can make your problems everybody’s problems.

Oh man, I love Thaumaturgy. I’m constantly using it to add flashy colored lights to performances, ambiance music, etc

Why would anyone want to consume it!?

I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.

We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.

My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.

Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.

I. Fucking. Love. This.

This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.

may our education be stronger than fake news

Amen.

To those who don’t get it:

“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.

another important element of understanding the joke is understanding how pH levels work

yup.  that’s a higher number alright.

“Everyone who has ever touched or consumed this chemical has died”

Hear me, o vast and shining Galaxy: This adventure sucks, I want another!

My writer soul enjoys this quiz, it’s so lovely in its imagination. I got galaxy a-spec btw.

Sweet generalization.

It’s not about whether a character is trans or gay. Gay characters make sense. People have been gay for millennia. Trans however. Not the case. In a high fantasy setting, how in the balls are they going to perform surgery where they change the sex of the character??? It makes no sense at all. They’d have to explain it. And remember, this is high fantasy, Game of Thrones is also in that category. This is a time where they would reach into your body with an object strikingly similar to a salad tossing spoon to yank out a small piece of arrowhead. Pretty sure they hadn’t figured out a surgery as complex as a sex change…

The people complaining that there aren’t enough gay/trans people in stuff like this are just as bad if not moreso than the people who complain about gay/trans people being in stuff like this.

Create your own fantasy world filled with nothing but gay/trans people. Make it so that being heterosexual is the minority. All the power to you. Good luck trying to create it.

You don’t have to have surgery to be transgender. Lots of transgender people don’t. Transgender people, people who identify with the gender not corresponding with their birth sex, have existed before the surgery. And the existence of and recognition of a third sex or dual sex existed in pre-modern times in lots of places are the world. So, for one, your “how in the balls are they going to perform surgery“ question doesn’t actually matter. They don’t need to in order for transgender people to exist. But if they did want to include transgender people who undergo physical changes to reflect their gender/sexual identity, in a HIGH FANTASY world, there’s actually a really easy answer to that:

*ahem*

“How are you going to make someone trans in a fantasy setting full of magic spells, potions, and artifacts?”

shout out to the elixir of sex shift for covering more than just a gender binary.

I just wanted to hear this post in real life, and I chased that impulse.

It came back!!!!!!! YEa BAYBYYYYYYY

The majority of the audio is just “Egg Nog”

I feel so called out.
