to be completely fair, i do think "i was disappointed in the finale of steven universe and didn't feel like the diamonds earned their redeption; i walked away from the series with a kinda bitter taste in my mouth" is like, a fair judgment! that is the final product that we got, whatever the background complications!

its just when you start making it, like, a moral criticism- implicitly at the writing team- that they weren't punished on screen and didn't Repent enough that i take issue.

Obsessed with this video. It's like cocomelon to me

Got a ticket to a very secret and exclusive conference. It is the conclave of the lid goblins.

They strive for world peace by sneaking into every house on the world and stealing lids to Tupperware and storage and leaving other ones. Their hope is that people will discuss this phenomenon and exchange lids and get to know their neighbors. Sadly, this almost never happens.

They even discussed some of the lid goblins largest schemes, like when they swapped lids between the White House and The Kremlin during the Cold War. Sadly, it just ended in White House staff buying more Tupperware.

Wait, do they operate exclusively in the mundane world, or are they fucking with the Tupperware in wizard towers, too?

they try• i,I've eaten some of my best goblin meat that way•

Damn, that’s so cold, Jimkinnz. These little (liddle) guys are trying to encourage world peace. I once squashed beef between myself and Ratazom when we had to meet up and exchange bottle corks.

we eat goblins here' sir•

i feel so bad for this fish because imagine being it and you just exist in the ocean and some weird terrestrial creature decides to give you a name that makes it sound like you committed medical malpractice

I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

my soft and comfortable mama

When, not If

I've noticed more and more in public bathrooms that people skip the handwash and just take a squirt of hand sanitizer from wall dispensers on the way out. hand sanitizer is NOT effective against most things that come out of your ass. i cannot stress this enough. i'm begging y'all. please. please please please please please use the soap.

i'm out here immunosupressed fighting for my life to not get naturally selected while people around me touch a public toilet handles and walk back to their tables to immediately eat a burger

Thank you for bringing this up! Many hand sanitizers and household cleaners proudly claim to "Kill 99.99% of germs."

In fact, this does not mean that the product kills 99.99% of all germs known to exist.

It means that, during product testing in a controlled environment, the product killed 99.99% of the germs it was specifically tested against. As you might imagine, Lysol isn't testing its kitchen disinfectant spray against millions and millions of unique microbes.

In the U.S., labeling laws usually require that companies actually identify somewhere else on the label which germs are being tested and killed. Next time you see a "kills 99.99% of germs" label, check out the rest of the label, and you'll find the small print which specifies that it kills 99.9% of one type of flu, or Covid, or E. Coli, etc. This is why many labels even include an asterisk, i.e.: "Kills 99.99% of Germs!*" Look for the companion asterisk elsewhere on the label for more info.

There are different kinds of germs, like Viruses; Bacteria, Fungi, and Protozoans.

The way we kill these germs to prevent infections varies based on the germs' structure. Essentially, we need different "weapons" (cleaning methods) to fight different microbes. A product that kills Flu Viruses and E. Coli can't necessarily destroy Norovirus or Giardia.

No product is effective against every type of germ, even common germs which regularly cause illness in households and communities.

Hand washing is effective against more germs, not only because it can destroy germs which hand sanitizer cannot, but because it simply washes them off your hands.

More on the many personal, community, & global benefits of hand washing.

This segment from jenny nicholsons star wars hotel video keeps playing in my head whenever people talk about the cost of video games these days so i'm clipping it because it's relatable to me.

AWWWWWW!

Mališa is the best critique of human politics and suffering that I have ever watched and I mean that wholeheartedly. The way that she suffers and starves as a result of human actions is a perfect metaphor for how working class people suffer and starve. While it could have been so easy for this to dehumanize working people, instead it humanizes Mališa and makes us empathize with her. She is also metaphorically a homeless person as she loses her home and the safety and stability it provided, demanding that we acknowledge the humanity and needs of the homeless in our own society.
