early discussion notes:

1: y'all 'USB stick' truthers are gonna have to update your worldviews for the age of USB-C, you realize

2:

calling these second-grade-reading-level terms 'fancy words' is a pretty hard self-own dude

The differences are that the jumpdrive/thumbdrive/USB dongle goblin specifically refer to USB flash drives.

Fall of Icarus/Hubris of Man

2019, colorised

(And reference)

people have tagged this as life imitates art, and I need you to understand that no, I saw this picture of my friend falling off the got dang swing and thought it represented human hubris so well that i went into a made haze of acrylic paint and when I awoke I was holding this finished canvas.

one thing to miss about porn on tumblr is how ridiculous people acted like. there was this one catfish on here who would steal other people’s dick pics and pretend they were all him. he’d post circumcised one day and uncut the next like… sir.

I feel that this is an important case study in Tumblr demographics and what the polls are actually reflecting

actually based on my math this is currently pretty representative! 2.7% of respondents live in the most populous cities, which would be 216 million people (of 8 billion), and the total population of those 9 cities is just over 214 million!

I believe we can change this world, like a chemical reaction…

he can recite the entire wikipedia article for ferris wheels by memory at unprecedented speeds and then proceed to add even more details

if anyone tries to give me shit for being self dx i’ll just tell them that yeah my psychiatrist and my therapist believe me but are just unable to diagnose me bc healthcare literally sucks ass

People often forget that it takes money and several steps in order to get a proper evaluation. I was lucky enough to have a supportive mother who noticed my symptoms when I was younger.

However, there are those who are not as lucky and cannot get a proper diagnosis. Whether it be money related, being a minor and not having the same access as adults, or whatever situation they’re in preventing getting a diagnosis.

And there’s no guarantee that having one will be helpful. Some might find it helpful due to the accommodations you can get. However, others see it as a barrier that they can’t get around. Especially when it comes to the workplace. I found an article going more into this. Here’s an excerpt from it:

Neurodivergent people can experience a wide number of barriers in the workplace because the workplace is normally suited to neurotypical people. Embracing neurodivergent people can unlock new insights and benefits for businesses. The world of work is changing – employers need to adapt to it.

The full article will be here if you’d like to read more.

Sorry for the long tanget/ramble there. As someone who was professionally diagnosed way back in 2009, we need acceptance and awareness more than ever. Especially since all this isolation that’s been happening for years since the pandemic. No one has anybody to count on, so they only have themselves. They just want to know why they act they why they act, or feel how they feel. They just want answers.

Self diagnosing is 100% valid.

THE "STEP LADDER" JOKE AHAHAHA

Weibo article that dives into the origin of the trend and provides a perspective from the other side:

Image text: "White people food"

OP's tweet reads: "This is my coworker's lunch. A few carrots and some spinach. They already have the ability to produce their own energy without eating food."

Comment 1: "I think since they like suntanning so much, they must be using photosynthesis"

Comment 2: "They depend on therapists to keep them alive"

OP's tweet reads: "My Danish coworker brought something new again. No spinach today, just two carrots and a pepper. They're evolving."

Comment: "Why do they eat like they're putting gas in their cars. Pour it in to be able to go"

OP's tweet reads: "my coworkers lunch is a whole cauliflower! First time I've seen a whole cauliflower eaten with a knife and fork after being cooked. He was even surprised that I'd never seen that before. These people haven't lived"

OP's tweet reads: "The simplicity of Australian white people food. Everyone knows that Australian white people food is super simple, but when I saw my coworker's lunch I was still shocked. Mushrooms from the supermarket, straight from the box, added directly to a wrap. I asked him whether mushrooms can be eaten raw. He said he'd been eating them raw for years and was doing fine."

Comment: "Pretty normal. They even eat green beans raw. 20 years ago, the people at my bro's place even ate yuanxiao [glutinous rice dough dumplings] uncooked. Anyways, I feel like foreigners don't like eating food unless they're about to starve. If they could live on alcohol, they definitely wouldn't eat at all"

Image text: "Lunch: a head of raw lettuce wrapped around some ham with mustard drizzled on top"

OP's tweet reads: "I guess I've seen the pinnacle of white people food today. The locals always come up with new moves to surprise me"

OP's tweet reads: "Re: about my lunch shocking my white coworkers. Everyone knows that white people don't have taste buds, they only eat to stay alive. "Coworker A: porridges. Oats + honey + milk + salt + microwave for 3 min. "Coworker B: some kind of canned rice + canned tuna, microwave for 2 min. "Coworker C: pita bread with dip; with a couple of cherry tomatoes/cucumber. "Coworker D: mini pizza: base + sauce + cheese, baked "I've been here for most of one year, these guys eat the same thing every day. But today was different, today everyone brought food, a boxed proper meal: pasta. But I'm the undefeated mystical Oriental lady, made a whole table [of food] appear in the blink of an eye."

OP's tweet reads: "After entering a state of 'eating to stay alive', I found out white people food is actually good. Ate the same thing every day and didn't puke. I just play on my phone a bit and the food is ready. It's sustenance, that's all."

Commenter: "After you give up on the pursuit of flavor, the world will open up to you. Cold vegetables + chicken breast are so good."
