In a shitty society that is built on taking as much as you possibly can and giving as little as you possibly can, compassion is punk-rock as hell.
this isnt necessarily good news but i hope we can all agree that if you are attacked by a puma and you kill it with your bare hands it should be socially acceptable to wear the pelt wherever you damn well please
spoken like a future puma victim
….why didn’t he shoot the mountain lion?
lol what are you, a gun cuck? cant kill a large predator with your own hands?

The dude on the left literally got contact with snakes original voice actor and this is he end product
Link must be down right terrifying for normal people in Hyrule to encounter.
He’s like a fucking heroic cryptid.
Just imagine it, your village/region/kingdom is under attack by some monster or another and out of the trees this slender little twunk appears and immediately starts acting like he’s gonna help.
And you’re skeptical of course cause look at him.
And then you find out that he’s basically a one man army who just fuckin wrecks the dragon/god/monsters/etc terrorizing your place before he breaks all of the pots in town and disappears again.
Shit must be wild.
Your village has a statue of Link that’s built between his reincarnations, and people put clay pots around it as offerings and thanks.
One day some fucking kid shows up, breaks all your worship pots, and runs off without anything more than a “YAAAH!” as they jump off a cliff into the forest below. You’re confused as fuck but your great-grandmother is weeping like she just saw a god.
i love that photoset of elsa and her mom because it clearly shows how the mom is literally just an elsa recolor
God forbid kids and their parents look alike, as if genetics were involved or something, ha
Disney straight up copy past Elsa and her Mom face it just the same face. is not genetic is poor and bad character design
Royal families tend to have smaller gene pools, so there’s a lot less variety
There is a big difference in look alike because they are blood related and just straight up copy the same face and do different colors for the hair
Again. Is poor character design
“it’s not bad character design it’s inbreeding”
Identical twins look less identical than this
So I live in Scotland, a country with free universal healthcare, and this post made me curious about how much that actually costs us. Turns out, roughly 4% of our income tax goes to the National Health Service. For me that’s £10 a month. The equivalent of $13. I have spent more than that on a pizza.
justin mcelroy has said many powerful things but honestly no set of words in the english language conveys the same energy as “that’s a funny trick to play on god”
“you’re rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, my friend” is a very close second
minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character on the planet and no one talks about it
im not really saying this is done on purpose but theres really a huge discrepancy between these images
@ the people in the notes saying it’s lighting, here he is compared w an in-game in-daylight pic
It’s SUPER obvious when you compare Steve’s model to Alex’s
Steve is brown and them’s the facts!
So I was my surgery schedule for 3 weeks from now and my pre op next Wednesday. But I got a call telling me that my insurance refuses to pay for my nipple grafts. Aetna says nipples are just cosmetic so they don’t pay for that but they will pay for my mastectomy.
But I want nipples. And there is no way I can come up with 4K in 6 days. (I have to pay on the day of my pre op)
I’ve been cryin all night about this. I thought after 10+ years of biding and dying of all the pain I would finally be free.
I know there is no way for me to get 4000 in time. But if you guys could help..
And if you are looking for an insurance who covers top surgery. Stay away from Aetna (unless you don’t want nipples)
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. @jayjayjaay is a fantastic person and he’s been fighting so hard for this. honestly I am disgusted by Aetna pulling this shit
okay i just had a bad epiphany but corporate interest’s influence on the internet is going to become so much stronger now that generations that are internet naturalized have grown up and starting working as “social media consultants”. advertising is going to become so much more subtle, manipulate your behavior to a greater extent, and completely pervade every aspect of our lives the more we rely on the internet for everything from entertainment to social validation.
what im saying is its scary that corporate twitter accounts are getting good at twitter. to have the same avenue a human would to express themself. its like, an extreme anthromorphism of a brand, and that brand representing a corporate interest, and successfully passing itself off as a sentient entity on twitter, thats really weird to me.
like this is so fucked up. it doesnt immediately read as an advertisement, conceptually it executes the levels of irony and deconstruction that usually make for successful memes in this genre or whatever. its almost subverting itself, but ultimately it still succeeds as an advertisement. it makes me sick. for every misfire of corporations trying to relate (pepsi protest commercial), theres another company getting better at it
okay but like my thing about this is… who is actually eating at these places because shit like this? yeah it’s funny but i never go to wendy’s because a meme, if i go to wendy’s it’s because i want a gross burger and a frosty, same with taco bell and mcdonald’s and wherever the fuck.
i really think that you’re blowing this out of proportion and having very little faith in people’s ability to decide what they want for themselves. it’s just not that deep.
It’s not about the effectiveness of the ads in question, but their complete omnipresence in every aspect and moment of life, and how bizarre and sophisticated the mechanations of advertising have become. If people don’t call attention to these things, they become normal.
The effectiveness of marketing isnt one-to-one, like, “ad says burger is good, I think burger is good, I eat burger.” That was 50 years ago. Y'all, since then these multi-million dollar corporations have been hiring psychologists and sociologists and anthropologists to study how best to get under consumer skin and theyve figured out it’s not about making you WANT a burger,
It’s about creating a Brand Identity - an anthropomorphized personality that your brain fits into an established schema (system of thought) so it’s easier to just drop into the background of your everyday life. It’s not about making you want a burger, it’s about making it so, when you DO want a burger, the first place you think of is Wendy’s, because their ads have made you think about them five time already that day. And most importantly, it’s about making sure you dont realize how often they make you think about them, so you don’t resent how pervasive they’ve become. They do that by tricking your brain into thinking of them as just another human-like personality. Your Funny Meme Friend Wendy’s. Wine Aunt World Market. Woke Jock Nike. Even your Endearingly Unhip Uncle Geico.
(hey also if you want dozens of terrifying examples of what I mean, just type ‘brand identity schema’ into Google like I just did and take a gander at all those scholarly articles discussing how best to acquire consumers, like we’re a fucking commodity)
one time i said i didn’t like the wendys twitter and got called classist for hating retail employees
this shit works. it makes people like Brands. gets under their skin and in to their minds. when i said i didnt like the wendys twitter i personally offended people that viewed wendys as a friend, that viewed the wendys social media manager as a friendly individual that they respected.
the wendys social media manager is not your friend. they don’t even really exist. there’s no one person that writes the tweets for wendys. there’s a team of 20 something year olds that casually observe the latest meme trends and crank out mspaint memes because they know they’ll get retweeted if the memes are relevant.
they trick you in to thinking that Wendys is a hip friendly young person, and they manipulate you in to thinking that disliking marketing is somehow a “problematic” “un-woke” thing to do.
and it works.
install ublock origin. on mobile, block every promoted tweet you see. don’t let them convince you that this shit is normal.
I just wanna say, not only was I extremely correct in my paranoid regarding these posts, but it’s actually gotten way fucking worse already
I’m just going to be blunt about it; America’s depression epidemic is a direct result of the all-encompassing alienation we experience under late stage capitalism, and now private interests are attempting to recuperate the general public’s feelings of hopelessness and despair into marketing material, the spectacle in effect recuperating our despair and making it appear that the powers that be are on our side. That we are being watched over by boardrooms with loving grace, despite the fact that they are part and parcel with the forces of economy that has driven so many people to not see any hope in their lives. By recuperating the public discourse about the root of endemic depression, the status quo is able to trivialize it and sterilize it before before safely incorporating it back into mainstream society. Not only are we unable to strike against our enemy, most of us can’t even see them for what they are, and the rest of us can’t even speak to the truth of what they are capable of.
Pay attention to little bizarre happenings like these, they betray the rest of the iceberg

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.
and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”
but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?
The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this
Hey dude, Id like to ask, did you post a link before of a site that can be used by multiple people tl draw in that particular site? Like a group chat with art? If yes, can you tell us the name of the site again? Thank you for your time ^^
Oh did you mean Aggie? Yeah! It’s the best website I’ve found so far where you can draw with other people LIVE. It’s in its Beta form so they’re still making adjustments. The pen pressure used to work on it but now not so much. I hope they make some changes in the future!
Nevertheless, it’s still a really fun platform to draw with whoever you invite into the room! There’s also a chat function! I might start a room tonight actually lol.

my 60yo technologically challenged dad is obsessed with silverback gorillas for some reason and today he asked what a furry was. when i explained it and explained fursonas he said without missing a beat “i’d be a gorilla” and im still shaking over this….. this man announced his own fursona within one (1) minute i.e. 60 seconds of learning what a furry is
