Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn't read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There's been multiple "I'm DB Cooper" death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today's money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons
yo mama is so deep canyon ravine when a someone fell in her they lived in there for years living off the enviroment killing sunbathing lizards for food
i’m up late high as shit off an edible gaming and watching youtube videos hitting my vape eating snacks drinking wine straight from the bottle i haven’t had a night of gamer’s decadence like this in a long time……. i can’t believe this was like most nights for me during my bachelorette era lol. see that[’s no way to live doing it all the time. but a handful of times a month? perfection. you must not allow the gamer’s debauchery to control your life.
Now that I'm working in the anthropology department and we're teaching human evolution, I wonder how many anthropologists looking for ancient hominids must have found modern human remains instead. You didn't find a fossil of human evolution... but you did find the remains of a person. Isn't that meaningful, too? And also... they are so similar to us, that it's not unlikely that so many remains that could have been key to understanding human evolution have been misidentified as just humans (which raises the question "weren't they just human" but I digress)
There's an interesting story about Sahelanthropus (a hominid similar to chimpanzees who walked upright about 6 millions ago in modern Chad). When it was discovered, the remains presented wear and tear from wind and sun exposure, which was wierd because they were found buried. It was then the anthropologist noticed it was buried with its head facing towards Mecca, like in proper Muslim burial practice. Muslim nomads must have found the remains of Sahelanthropus, they would have thought it was a human, and decided to give it a proper burial, even if they didn't know its story or who was it life, they thought those bones deserved to rest.
Recognize the humiliation of being given a schedule.
How many hours remain in your life? Thousands, maybe? What if it’s just two? And someone else gets to dictate where and how you spend them?
How does that not make someone sick at heart? How does that not drive them to burn, and tear, and to scourge this nightmare from the world forever? How are there others with us under this yoke who feel its weight bearing them down as heavily as the rest of us do, and yet do not feel that stone in their throat? How do they not feel that command from within to rise, swinging with every bit of their strength against the juggernaut, futile though it may be?
It has to be learned helplessness. When you meet someone who has lost their defiance share your victories with them where you can. They need to be reminded that maybe they’re not actually defeated yet.

"you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society" says people living in countries where nobody's labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls
You're not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you're talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts
And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway
dudes will be like "if you don't Contribute To Society you don't get to live, that's the simple facts" meanwhile their job is like Marketing and Brand Development Specialist
“what are you a cop” is such a good mantra to live by and such a practical phrase. like yass girl don’t volunteer information to dubious individuals with an interest in using that information against you in nefarious ways
endlessly amused that jamie sf6 drinks a “special herbal concoction” to access his drunken fist style which is almost certainly because capcom could not keep a T rating if he was chugging baijiu to get fucked the hell up
Every so often i remember that yeah they did actually make a broadway musical about rapping slavemasters. And 14 year old newly homosexual kids with half shaved heads and faded teal highlights in their swoop bangs AND 54 year old consultants from albany new york with 6000 followers on twitter thought it was the best thing that ever happened to art
