there are two kinds of people, those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

14 and 88 are Nazi dogwhistles. 14 words, linked here elsewhere. and then H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = heil hitler

emphasize empathize

fair criticism, gotta take the bad with the good. still worthwhile to celebrate the positives, though

vacuums are designed to make that sound clear and loud for this exact reaction

I just picked a number that sounded good enough lol. I checked the pic above to see what it says but it doesn’t have a weight

I totally forgot about all the gender stuff! It’s so humanistic of them to include all these gender forms, since people are so varied. i love it! no prejudice, just “here’s our classification schema for how people tend to develop over time”

5 of the 8 characters in this Flinstones pic have a thing around their neck.

it was an old animation trick as a way to only animate the head because you could lock each frame to the collar/tie/necklace while animating the face, keeping it all aligned.

I think Barney’s shirt collar and the babies’ defined jaw/cheeks do the same thing, functionally

what do beans have to do with this?

“let he who hath no sin cast the first stone”

Jesus defended a woman adulterer from an angry mob wanting to stone her, drew a line in the sand, spat that zinger of a line, the all ended up leaving, and Jesus forgave her.

“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

I think Jesus woulda been pro-trans. dude was incredibly woke and based

see the thing though is that “all of this” in the meme is very vague. it could mean a full-on cultural revolution, one where democrats and republicans alike do not exist anymore. I don’t think people are really wanting to go back to the status quo, not really. it’s obviously infinitely better than christofascism, but people want meaningful change. probably a big reason why Kamala Harris was not so popular, even though I voted for her

it’s because they’re sold by weight and since all the water is gone, the jerky pieces weigh so little. to then make a 16oz bag, you gotta add a lot of jerky. backtracking to make that happen means you need way more meat, which means way more money to buy that meat.

I agree though that the prices are ridiculous. I just think it helps to know why, too.

literally pump-and-dumping the stock market

I like these pirate ones

if you aren’t cringing at your past dumb mistakes then you aren’t growing as a person

after watching that, AI is fucking weird

if it’s too loud, she can probably hear it too lol

holy shit I accidentally pointed at the monitor (touched it) with a 6 inch, thick, stick magnet in the 4th grade. got in trouble for “possibly damaging the computer” or whatever. I think the spot I touched the screen had some residual color change “damage” for some unremembered amount of time. I always felt stupid cuz how could I be so careless to point a magnet at a computer (I knew enough then to know that was a no-no). it’s good to know I didn’t actually fuck anything up (aside: changing memories of the past is time travel)

lol, the irony here that this is a very used meme

it’s an uncomfortable truth that sometimes people can be monsters unworthy of humanity.

fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. its a mythological story about the emergence of consciousness into humanity. came with it was the discovery of time and “the future”, then the realization of vulnerability and the need to protect oneself, then the extrapolation that “if I can be hurt in xyz ways, I can make others hurt in those same ways”. consciousness begot the potential for both great good and great evil.

people manifesting their evilness has been a problem since the very beginning. I think it helps to know that it’s not a new, modern age problem. but we should still try our best to minimize it much as we can.
