Tumblr explain this

Can I get a community label rules and guidelines because I am having trouble figuring out how my post gets the mature label?

And I went and checked…and no, I did not have anything in that post that warranted a mature label.

There is no violence, nor is there discussion of drugs and addiction, nor are there sexual themes. The fuck are you talking about?

I am very annoyed that within 30 minutes, this post was given the mature community label and since I appealed it, I have not gotten any response.

i'm not the praying sort, but i'll probably always have a soft spot for the astronaut's prayer

for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a possibly-spurious quote by alan shepard (and is thus sometimes referred to as the shepard's prayer) on the launchpad of Freedom 7, immediately before he became the first american in space. it goes like this:

a few people have commented in the tags that this is actually a line from The Right Stuff (1983)

first of all, is it really that surprising that a movie in which alan shepard is a character would include an alan shepard quote?

second of all, he absolutely said something to the effect of the quote. the reason it's possibly-spurious is that he later claimed he was misquoted and what he actually said was "don't fuck up, shepard"

third of all, 1) if you know anything about pilots you know theyre superstitious as hell and 2) if you know anything about scientists you know they fucking love memes and traditions. put those together and i would bet real money that even if shepard never said that prayer, it's been said at canaveral more often than it hasn't

also

i have been gently corrected that Freedom 7 was the capsule itself, and the mission is properly referred to as Mercury-Redstone 3

I think it would be fun to do a stream series like "Wizard Learns Tekken" where I just invite on people from tumblrs extensive FGC community to kick my ass while I talk about some wacky episode from religious history.

Like teach me fundamentals while I try to talk about the 1850s preacher that tried to make Chicago 2.

The way I've already seen uncountable "Netflix is hiring!" Ads. They're really just gonna hire scabs and pretend the WGA strike isn't happening....

This is a reminder to anyone who wants to go into screenwriting. This is not an opportunity to get your foot in the door. Do not take any writing jobs during the strike. This includes freelance or “script editing” jobs.

You will be a scab. Scabs are barred from union membership. By crossing the picket line to get your foot in the door you’ll be burning one of the most important bridges in your life. You will actively be harming your future job prospects.

This strike will end one day. Those writers who are out picketing will reenter the writers room and start producing work with the legal and financial protections and guarantees they’re fighting for, and you will not be among their ranks. You will be a scab. A traitor.

A lack of union membership will harm your prospects job wise. Do not scab. Knowledge of your scabbing, traitorous ways will cost you your ability to make friends in the industry. Do not scab. Support the WGA as they fight for your rights. Do. Not. Scab.

I’m not anti-technology, I just think there’s something deeply sick about a society where robots make art and children work in factories.

The golf links lie so near the mill That almost every day The laboring children can look out And see the men at play.

Plus ça change.

“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than 1/4 of your income.

Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.

After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.

The housing market is a fucking travesty.

Hmm what happened in the mid eighties....
