goodnight and don’t worry about any mistakes you made today. come up with tangible ways to do better next time, and keep your head up.
I really can’t believe I’ve been on this hell site for 8 years
Impart me in your wisdom of ancient times
one time there was a tumblr user with the url “pizza” and she would just comment on any text post about pizza saying “omg that’s me” and then we found out she had an entire tag dedicated to saying the n word

One of PETA’s major strategies is to utilize offensive PR campaigns to gain free advertising. By putting up racist, sexist, or simply horrific ad campaigns that are specifically designed to piss people off and go viral as a result, PETA generates a huge amount of brand recognition and gets featured time in the news cycle without spending a penny.
Consistently keeping people infuriated at their social media is also a great away for PETA to exhaust the public’s outrage and keep the spotlight off the legal / legislative / advocacy campaigns they’re working on that most people would find massively objectionable.
So while it’s cathartic to be mad at PETA about the shitty thing they said about Steve Irwin, keep in mind that every time you mention it, post about it, reblog or retweet it: you’re playing directly into their hands.
PETA wants you to be outraged and blow up their mentions. In fact, they’re counting on your anger to keep them trending. For the game they’re playing, any PR is good PR.
i love posts like that last one but realtalk fluency is a weird thing and different people have different ideas on what constitutes full fluency
for instance, my brother speaks russian pretty much fluently in terms of vocab and grammar, tho he still has a little bit of an english accent sometimes, he says. hes married to a native russian speaker who knows very little english. he lived in russia for about 6 years. the bbc russian correspondant said his russian is better than any other non-native speakers’ hes ever heard.
but he doesnt consider himself fluent because he doesnt like reading russian books and his brain gets tired v quickly when he tries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
idk what the point of this post is. just. fluency is technically both reachable and unreachable. dont give up. youre doing a lot better than you might think.
languages are hard lmao
If you could instantly be granted fluency in 5 languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 5 would you choose?
ace: *trips slightly up the stairs on his way to meet sabo for lunch*
robin, luffy’s older friend he still isn’t 100% sure how he met but is none the less very pleasant and polite and completely unreadable: i warned you about the stairs bro
ace:
*sweats*
if ur an 8ft gerudo lady hmu
remember in botw how theres that one gerudo girl crying in the bar bc her bf dumped her for being “too tall”, and she cries like “whats that supposed to mean, im only 8 feet tall” like wtf im gonna find that dude and hes gonna catch these hands anyway if ur 8 feet tall DM me
They way she says “only” implies 8 feet is below average for Gerudo height.
In the Hyrule Historia, Ganondorf is stated to be 7’6’’. So with this in mind, we know that Ganondorf, the Demon King, the Prince Of Darkness, is very short for a Gerudo
Ganon turned evil because he was a manlet.
love watching straight people’s reaction to how we knew someone was gay because it’s always stupid things like “i asked her where she got that button up shirt and she said the men section of zara” or “she got into a heated debate about werewolves and only a gay person would be that passionate about werewolves” and straight people’s wack ‘he has a lisp’ gaydar cannot comprehend this level of secret language and just look at us like
if you’re not vaccinated you should NOT be allowed to travel. period.
it doesn’t make sense people are reintroducing countries to illnesses they haven’t experienced in years just because some affluent soccer moms think their stupid ass kid is gonna be the next einstein bc he’s never gotten a measles shot
Someone: “Why do you get so heated while discussing lore of stuff? And why is it so detailed? Why do you have several thousand words devoted to this shit?”

ace and sabo go to a convention when they’re 16 and sabo doesn’t really know what is going on but he knows enough to point at things and make appropriate jokes and luffy is DEVASTATED that they went without him so after bugging them for a full year they take him to the next con. ace actually half dresses up and sabo shows solidarity by dressing up as a pirate because he thinks conventions are just a place for adults to play dress up but then people keep asking him what series hes from and hes like ??? no im just a pirate. luffy has a fantastic time and all the cosplayers love him
who fucking litters. why do i ever see litter. who thinks that’s okay. who. who NEEDS to throw their fast food bag out the fucking window instead of waiting until they get somewhere with a trashcan. what kinda clown behavior. get fucked.
me, thinking about our uni year abroad coming in a couple years time: hmm... weve already said we wont do tokyo next time we go, and im torn between osaka, kyoto and sapporo...
sui: your teacher said the general climates cooler in hokkaido.

i don’t wanna reblog that gifset of kate winslet freezing her ass off in titanic but she actually got double pneumonia from filming those scenes without a wetsuit. and all bc james cameron wanted the fabric to be see through when wet. when’s the final straw when do we snap and kill every man
Didn’t they film this ish on a set though..? Couldn’t they have just… heated the water?
But then her nipples wouldn’t have been hard. Please be considerate of male heterosexuality and entitlement whenever you’re trying to rationally prevent a woman from getting an avoidable illness in her workplace. Thanks.
Uhh, not defending James Cameron here because he’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director but….
He’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director.
He didn’t do it to see her nipples. He did it because he wants everyone he works with to be a fucking method actor rather they want to or not because he’s obsessed with detail. You recall Leo Dicaprio was in that water too, right? You recall that a whole great bunch of men, women, and children who were extras were in that water too, right? Not to mention the water wasn’t just cold enough to make her sick but to cover her in bruises so extensive the make up team took pictures to document them. You realise he’s done shit like this to actors on several other films. Ed Harris punched James Cameron in the face on the set of The Abyss after he ran out of oxygen, gave the signal for it, Camera kept filming, and Harris nearly drowned. Cameron’s reason for it was that he wanted Harris’s panic to be “real”.
From wikipedia: “ Sam Worthington, who worked with Cameron on Avatar, stated on The Jay Leno Show that Cameron had very high expectations from everyone: he would use a nail gun to nail the film crew’s cell phones to a wall above an exit door in retaliation for unwanted ringing during production”
People who have worked with him have shown up on set wearing shirts saying “You can’t scare me; I work for James Cameron.”
Painting him as no more than an average heterosexual man just wanting to get a peek at some titties MASSIVELY UNDERSTATES what a horrid person he is to work with and how abusive he is. Don’t do that. Don’t portray this as average. Don’t normalise this.
Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.
It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.
This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I’m eternally grateful.
