Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.
If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.
The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.
look me in the eyes. you are aware some asexual people have sex, right. you are aware some asexuals aren’t sex repulsed. you do not need to baby asexuals and act like the slightest mention of anything sexual will cause them to die of a heart attack
also. even the asexuals who don’t have sex, who are sex-repulsed, don’t need you babying them either. follow the boundaries they’ve set, yes. baby them and try to shield them from everything even vaguely sexual, absolutely not.
this is gonna sound lame maybe but i am really glad that spiderpunk was actually, yk. a punk. a real one. he was an anarchist. he was everything a punk is SUPPOSED to be. ik that's his whole character ik that's the point but what i mean is that i'm glad he was still portrayed accurately and wasn't just "he's called spiderpunk bc he dresses like a punk." like i wouldn't expect anything less from the spiderverse team but man was it so nice to see a punk that's actually the embodiment of the punk movement. god bless <3
‘aight, mate, we’re done! Looking like a proper little punk now, eh?
Gunplay in Warframe:
Either:
This gun MUST kill every thing in this game in one shot! I must never miss, if I miss I will literally die.
Or:
This gun fires forty bullets per second, it has never killed or hit a single enemy. I love this gun with my heart and soul. I will miss every shot. Then kill you with Melee.
You're forgetting the fabled middle ground of the Acceleratra:
"I have forty rockets and I intend to make that your problem. I may hit you, I might not, but it doesn't matter, because I am running at you screaming and the AoE damage does the rest of my job for me."
Russia is fighting Russia, what a GOOD DAY
That source leaves out the key detail that the Wagner group are NeoNazis.
In fact it also leaves out a lot of the more extreme, blatant red flags Wagner members have been saying that make it clear when they say the Kremlin is compromised by a "clan of oligarchs" they mean Jews and "degenerates." ABC is just posting the more sanitized comments that anti-Putin western audiences would agree with, which is pretty upsetting because again these are literal NeoNazis and no one should be supporting them.
The Wagner group were not helpless soldiers following orders in a war they didn't believe in, they were the group doing some of the worst atrocities who are only mad now because they're losing.
Begging people not to fall for the trap of "hating Putin" meaning someone is good. A fascist imperialist is suffering military defeats which makes him look weak, so his Nazi death squad is trying to seize power. This is a "bite each other's dicks off" situation where we want both sides to lose. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the Wagner group.
This I unconditionally agree with. It's not even like they're fighting for a good cause; even if they win, it's Meet The New Boss, Worse Than The Old Boss.
However, Wagner did just negotiate a deal with Russia that put their leader into effective exile in Belarus, which is sad because I wanted to see more dead fascists.
Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?
Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!
The United States Government:
(Watch how many people don’t get this.)
In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.
It doesn’t matter what it’s for.
You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?
For college?
To put a downpayment on a house?
Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?
Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.
And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.
So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.
“What if I spend the money that day?”
Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.
And yes, this system literally kills people.
Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.
before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.
Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.
That’s so utterly depressing.
disgusting
I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.
oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b
My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.
Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.
And here’s the funnest part of the story!
One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.
The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.
He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.
Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?
Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.
There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!
thank you so much for this information. i’m applying for an abled account right now
I’ve been looking into SSI; I had no idea about this!
Read till the end for the important info
Reblog to literally save a disabled person’s life
This shit is why conservatives think disability is fun pampering, because they see disabled people have to come up with ways to get rid of the money and to them it looks like they must be rolling in excess.
Cas: i love you 🥺
Dean for the past few days on tumblr dot com:
found this bad boy dont ask how
i find it entertaining that so many people send us the old icon, as if they are slightly passive aggressively saying they hate the new ones, like your mom staring your outfit up and down when you come downstairs for school
i didnt saw one of these so here is the news
Oh, it's not just a coup, it's a civil war
The CEO of the Wagner Group, a Russian Private Military Contractor that has been serving as Russia's elite forces and been occupied in heavy fighting around Bakhmut, declared war on Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defense while the Russian Federal Security Bureau (FSB, their intelligence agency) issued a warrant for his arrest. Wagner vehicles have been confirmed heading north of Rostov, while the streets have been hit with roadblocks; the Southern military HQ (or regional HQ for the Russkie MOD? Idk) has been seized by Wagner forces.
You may think that this is redeeming for Wagner. It's not. They're literal nazis. Putin isn't better. One might be better than the other, but they are both past the point where it doesn't matter anymore. This is just fascists killing fascists, meanwhile Ukraine is heading into a critical popcorn shortage as their enemies kill each other and they roll in to liberate the remains.
Glory to Ukraine!
mutuals i am taking you to the beach and bury you in the sand and then leaveing
weee heehee heee im buried!!!!!! :D
the water
On one hand, I know that it's a good idea to ensure I'm not in a left-wing echo chamber.
On the other hand, a good chunk of right-wing spaces I try to seek out opposing viewpoints in call me mentally ill for the wrong reasons, deny my existence, or literally advocate my death by genocide.
Okay personal thing but the whole "they fired one missile and destroyed an entire planet" thing seems a bit silly to me
Placing all of your World-Killing Juice in one carton and firing it at a target? You're begging point defense to ruin your day babygirl, fire a swarm of missiles. if you fire one missile loaded with world-killing juice they have a 100% chance of saving themselves if they intercept it. if you fire 36 missiles, one of which is loaded with your world-killing juice, they have a 2.78% chance of saving themselves
I mean, tactically, yes. You definitely want to bump the numbers up so they can’t shoot down the one missile.
But you don’t destroy a world if you are waging war logistically. Wipe the populous out, make it unliveable, whatever, but those resources are precious. That’s an entire planet.
No, if you’re destroying a planet, it’s to send a message. And there’s nothing more terrifying than knowing that your enemy can destroy an entire planet with a single missile, and nothing more.
Still begging to be hit with point defence though. It’d be hilarious for them to fire the big planet killing missile, only for a single “pew” to take it out of the sky. And everyone is just left standing there trying to process what just happened.
Is it really more terrifying than "any one of these thirty-six missiles can destroy your entire world, and you have no idea which one it is", though?
i dont to hear anyone say tumblr has to crack down on porn because of the apple store. that was half a decade ago. HALF A DECADE of the porn ban. apple is not breathing down their fucking neck. tumblr is ran by a bunch of prudes that wants money from fandom moms wholl buy shitty fucking water bottles and advertisers, thats it. and when i, a trans ex-sex worker, am still having my face be flagged as sexual in 2023, i think that this site has a vested interest in removing anything that might get in the way of that. apple isnt forcing the new community labels on my fucking existence
