i hope the 11 year old transmascs of the world arent on social media i hope theyre playing outside in the dirt

i also hope all the 11 year old transfemmes arent on social media and are also out playing in the dirt

real i hope they r playing together and having a blast and also that none of them own phones

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

No. You agree that the kid is a cat.

You don't ask why they think they are a cat. Or turn around and point out all of the ways they are not a cat. And then pull up a picture of something unrelated to the topic to make the poor kid question themselves.

You ask the kid questions about what it is like being a cat. You let them tell you the responses that will make them happy.

I do understand that "intelligence tests" are inaccurate and stupid. That being said, does anyone want to see the IQ test question so terrible that I felt I had to stand up and leave the room?

I spent about ten minutes wondering how there could possibly be an "odd one out" that wasn't related to letters, vowels, consonants, or syllables. I tried desperately to remember any definitions or colloquial uses for these words that could make two of them synonyms or otherwise connect them.

Eventually, I selected "mitts" on the basis that it used a soft "i" sound while the others used hard "a" sounds, even though the question specifically said that wasn't the reason one word was an "odd one out."

That answer was correct. I scrolled down to see what their reasoning for why mitts was correct was...

...and had to restrain myself from putting a fist through the screen of my laptop.

Completely valid reasons to guess the word "mitts":

Reasons to guess the word "mitts" if you're playing mental Calvinball:

I don't know what it says about my IQ, but I would have gone with "blame".

If a mistake is made by a group, the blame will likely fall on a single person.

Human nature would lead to the formation of alliances to protect the individual.

Hence, the blame would be placed on the one with the weakest ties to the group. Or... the odd man out.

Check your conspiracy theory. Does it sound anything like this?

Literally all of these were claimed in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, an antisemitic hoax created by the Okhrana. It was used by Nazi Germany to justify the Holocaust, and today it still serves as the blueprint for most conspiracy theories - even if modern conspiracy theorists try to hide it, downplay it, or rationalize it with another, equally absurd conspiracy theory.

I've been telling people for ages now, it's virtually guaranteed that if you dig into it enough any given conspiracy theory will turn out to be antisemitic no matter how harmless or silly it first appears.

Nixon took us off the Gold Standard in 1971.

Here’s another piece of equipment I moved for a different solar project. This one went from central NC to eastern VA. This was the first of many pieces of equipment that’ll be moved for this project. The carbon footprint created to clear the land, before they can even start building, is pretty impressive.

dr who’s on first, doctor strange is on second and doctor house is on third. theres no way theyre getting through a single inning

so who’s on first?

That’s right 👍🏻

that’s strange

No, he’s on second.

Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

Naturally.

Who?

Naturally.

So Naturally is the first baseman?

No. The first baseman is Who.

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

House is on Third.

I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.

Who’s on first!

This is horrible

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

That’s not what I’m asking about! No!

Dr No is in the outfield, but let’s not worry about them right now.

Day 15 of doggust is the Bernese Mountain Dog! Special shout out to Guinness my friend from my local dog park, he was such a good boy and modeled for me!

im so mad bc “atlas shrugged” is such a raw fucking title. thats an EXCELLENT name for a book. a man holding the weight of the entire world on his shoulders is so moved by his disdain for the current state of things that he exerts the force to shrug. indifference to the nth degree. that’s fucking metal. then you read it and it’s just about hating poor people.

Ayn Rand collected Social Security.

She can go fuck herself.

ONE DAY all my pnf knowledge is going to come in handy.

ONE DAY I’m going to walk into a trivia night only to find out it’s pnf trivia and I will win and it will be awesome

A man stands in his office. It just so happens that today, the 27th of April, 2013, is this man's birthday. Though it was thirty-seven years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name!

What will the name of this man be?

Gosh darning, @jimposts ! I'm gonna need some sort of trigger warning on your reblogs!

I spent an unfortunate amount time trying to solve, what I believed to be, a riddle!

I was ready to shout, "The doctor is his mother! You misogynistic prick!"

Luckily, cool heads prevailed.....and it takes me a very long time to type shit out because I am old.

Just, a hug @buttotters

I was hugged on Tinder for the first time!!@!!!

Wow.... so you’re telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person...... to save the lives of many people.... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar
