Trent is honestly so funny for suggesting Museumnacht as a Night Out In Amsterdam activity for a bunch of professional athletes in their 20s. Like you know good and well

babe wake up a new disaster in applied libertarianism just dropped

it is already KNOWN that cryptobros are goons and always up to clownery but this is truly the FUNNIEST example i’ve seen in a long time

please take the time to at least skim the story 3 guys buying a yacht, planning to make it into a floating town where you can only spend cryptocurrency while in the freedom of the ocean, immediately discover that maritime laws exist, end up blowing all their money to be three guys and a crew of 40 on an empty ship they are unable to sell for scrap, one guy spends christmas alone on a waterslide…….. it’s incredible

like i do not feel remotely bad for them, literally any amount of research would have revealed their plan as unfeasible, they CHOSE to waste their money like this

The rooms:

Did not allow pets over 20lbs and would not allow barking for over 10 minutes (or else the pet couldn’t live on the boat anymore)

Only had a mini fridge with no microwave (the only food on the ship would be from a restaurant)

Cost $560/month for a small, windowless interior room

And the “seastead” was supposed to be in the shape of the Bitcoin sign

absolutely hysterical that a bunch of libertarians thought a cruise ship was the way to escape regulation

Okay, so Friedman started yammering on about libertarian seatopias in 2010, three years after Bioshock. You cannot convince me this is a coincidence.

Cryptocoin, cruise ships, and libertarians are like three things that are all constantly dangling by a single frayed thread over total disaster and they put all three together.

@fugicross​ I feel you would enjoy this.

The notes of this post are full of references to a town overrun with bears and I NEED someone to fill me in on that

I absolutely cried laughing reading about this. I have the book on order.

I think the turbolift is stuck…

Love this so much!

happy 3 year anniversary to the ted lasso series pilot and its accidental inception of possible gayest tv total power exchange pairing contender of all time

i will change my entire life by next week btw

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

i feel like this is a horrible take like yeah sure eating vegetables is good for you and ideally ig people would eat healthy but just because you were able to overcome whatever issue with eating you had doesnt mean anyone else would be thats just survivorship bias

there are literally people who eat only eat mcdonalds and drink soda (my roommate) and while they arent pillars of physical health theyre still alive and kicking its not as important as you think

is it also a bad take now to say "eating only mcdonald's and drinking only soda is bad for you"

Dropping this here...

Crowley and Aziraphale and some bloke with a stick.

now that the dust is settled it’s still so wild to me that some parts of the fandom took one look at a realistic and complex relationship riddled with communication issues where each character has their own brand of religious trauma, and the practical promise of a third season, and thought to themselves “why isn’t this the fanfic perfect ending that I wanted”

did you let me die in your arms in the timeloop

I keep thinking about this post. Did you let me? As in did you not save me? and Did you let me? as in did you allow me the comfort of your embrace at the expense of your own pain, knowing tomorrow I would be back and fine but you’d still be feeling my blood against your skin?

Did you let me die in your arms?

some birds r so loud like girl WHO are you talking to rn. no one’s replying. you’re being left on read. ur coming off way to strong & that’s embarrassing for the both of us

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.

*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.

Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so

Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).

Did anyone notice the fun thing?

Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!

@linguistics fuck you

zhou enlai stealing food from nixon, marking the beginning of chinas imperialist domination of america

gabriel and beelzebub were able to run away together without looking back bc unlike crowley and aziraphale, they didn’t really have much else going for them/holding them back. of course they could fuck off to Alpha Centauri. of course love was enough and everything was so simple. bc they didn’t care about heaven or hell. they didn’t care about humanity or earth. they spent two weeks there, tops. aziraphale and crowley were there from the very beginning. they watched adam and eve leave eden. they watched the rise and fall of nations. the invention of the car. roamed the planet for 6000 years. aziraphale believed in his mission — in being good and helping humans. and at his heart, so did crowley. coupled with the fact that aziraphale may very well feel guilt for crowley’s fall, their inability to communicate despite centuries of loving each other, and their loyalty to the people they’ve served since conception…….of course they couldn’t just walk off into the sunset

I've watched what's out for S5 of WWDITS, and HOLY SHIT! They're really gunning for Nandermo for sure, huh? Like, otherwise this is THE best queerbaiting I've seen .
