Why am I still on this Hellsite

@itsjustanamebro

Sometimes I don't really know what I'm doing, what I want to post, and when I want to post it.

I've been told before you shouldn't talk about politics or religion on a date because it might make things awkward, so I try to touch on both, partly because those are genuinely interesting subjects and partly because "bad first date" seems a thousand times better than "finding out six months later that you've fucked a staunchly conservative fundamentalist".

Like yeah disagreements are uncomfortable but you know what's worse? Waking up next to a dipshit

I think the only person I've met in real life with 100% career satisfaction was this gal I knew who was a presenter at a children's science museum and delivered every line like she was running a WWE match. Every time you passed the room where she was giving a presentation, you'd hear something like "WHO'S READY FOR CEPHALOPODS?!?" and the kids would go absolutely nuts cheering.

cis women will unironically say shit like “no offense but i can’t believe you’d want to transition into a MAN of all things! [insert vicious and detailed description of why they find trans men disgusting]” and then act like they just did a #Feminism. no girl that’s just transphobia. it’s literally just transphobia and anybody with eyes knows it. you’re not subtle

Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?

no way i must have missed an update!

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal

You know what to do boys

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

Note the date, people:

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.

So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

supporting my asexual friends and foes by rebbloging this

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

it is already KNOWN that cryptobros are goons and always up to clownery but this is truly the FUNNIEST example i’ve seen in a long time

please take the time to at least skim the story 3 guys buying a yacht, planning to make it into a floating town where you can only spend cryptocurrency while in the freedom of the ocean, immediately discover that maritime laws exist, end up blowing all their money to be three guys and a crew of 40 on an empty ship they are unable to sell for scrap, one guy spends christmas alone on a waterslide…….. it’s incredible

like i do not feel remotely bad for them, literally any amount of research would have revealed their plan as unfeasible, they CHOSE to waste their money like this

The rooms:

Did not allow pets over 20lbs and would not allow barking for over 10 minutes (or else the pet couldn’t live on the boat anymore)

Only had a mini fridge with no microwave (the only food on the ship would be from a restaurant)

Cost $560/month for a small, windowless interior room

And the “seastead” was supposed to be in the shape of the Bitcoin sign

absolutely hysterical that a bunch of libertarians thought a cruise ship was the way to escape regulation

Okay, so Friedman started yammering on about libertarian seatopias in 2010, three years after Bioshock. You cannot convince me this is a coincidence.

Cryptocoin, cruise ships, and libertarians are like three things that are all constantly dangling by a single frayed thread over total disaster and they put all three together.

@fugicross​ I feel you would enjoy this.

The notes of this post are full of references to a town overrun with bears and I NEED someone to fill me in on that

Every time I see some jackass nattering on about “overregulation” it’s always about things like ocean travel, nuclear power, construction of buildings, etc. You know, things with MASSIVE SAFETY RISKS IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW THE RULES OF PHYSICS. It doesn’t take much to find out the consequences of ignoring those rules. We’ve got the Demon Core, radium girls, and the nuclear boy scout stories for radioactivity. We’ve got the Sampoong department store, Versailles wedding hall and so many more for construction. For ocean travel? Fuck me, there are SO MANY DISASTERS. These chucklefucks are mad about regulation and see safety as trivial. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so fucking pathetic.
