In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, after Mario and Luigi obtain their first pair of hammers, Sledge and Mallet (also known as the Hammerhead Bros.) explain how to use them in battle with a tutorial. The tutorial is completely scripted and it is not possible to defeat the Hammerhead Bros.; however, in the game’s code, this is not accomplished by designating them as special tutorial opponents, but rather by giving them an extremely high amount of HP.

Sledge and Mallet each have 5000 HP. This is several times higher than the final boss, who only has 1200 HP, making them the most powerful entities battled in the entire game. If the game is hacked to give Mario and Luigi enough attack power to defeat them, the game crashes.

Okay, now I'm feeling vindictive

This is worse, in its way, than the pornbots.

Here's something that turned up in my ask box just now.

...So. You've all seen these. Some of them are genuine. Lots aren't.

Here's where their message leads:

...Okay. The first warning sign: this account is about 3 days old.

But the second: searching on the details of the plea for help via Google, what do we find but...

...Poor Macaroni has repeatedly been hit by cars, and has repeatedly suffered busted femurs, since 2015.

"This," as the saying goes, "starts to look like carelessness." :/

Taking advantage of the kindness of strangers this way is vile... and plainly there's no shortage of people willing to indulge.

So: yeah, I'll be delighted to help the OP get some more traction on this! You betcha. By:

Blocking. Reporting. Reporting to PayPal as well. And dropping @staff a note, when I have a moment. Because allowing this stuff to prosper here just invites more people to try it on. :/

...Pass the news around, friends. ("And call it Macaroni.")

Ok folks. Everybody stay calm. It’s happening. Polls are here.

We’re starting to roll out a polls feature for the post editor across all platforms. Yes, that’s all platforms. That’s iOS, Android, and web. You should all have access to this in the next few days. And what’s more, it’s super easy to use.

  • Simply select the newly added orange poll icon (on web, it appears when you start a new content block in the post editor, on mobile it’s in your toolbar).
  • Write your question.
  • Add at least 2, at most 10 response options for people to choose from. There's a character limit on these, it's about as long as the Puss in Boots option offered above.
  • Set the poll duration to one day or one week. 
  • You can add some commentary to your poll or let it speak for itself. 
  • And, just as with any post, you can toggle who sees the poll by using your community labels. Or you can go wild and blaze it if it meets the content guidelines for blazing. 

Come across a poll in the wild? Have your say! Click on your chosen response. Congratulations, you’ve just voiced an opinion.

And that’s all there is to it. Have fun out there.

I'm watching Puss In Boots literally right now on those Tiktok videos that do movies and I'm feeling very called out right now

Hope.

I tell myself that this is my year. I'm 18! I can drink, get a job, change my name, drive, apply for gender therapy, get hormones, smoke, get my piercings, make my own appointments, get tattoos, move out,

So... why do I still feel 14? My body feels so old and achy for someone so young. Have you ever known a 17 year old with lower back issues and hip problems? To the point of needing a cane? I certainly haven't. Depression does that to a man. Your body and brain age far faster. You feel 50 when you're only 15. I feel older every day. A year for every week.

I'm nostalgic for the time I felt young. I'm so old but without any of the wisdom. A pretty shit way to be if you ask me.

Despite it all, I'm still... hopeful. I'm on the verge of tears but still actually hopeful. One day, I'll have surgery. Hormones. A flat chest, a beard, a deep voice.

I'll have a crappy old vintage convertible with a mint green paint job, and I'll have an indie style. I'll live by the coast and blast music with the hood down. I'll wander around with a Walkman, I'll have a job as a marine conservationist, with a streaming gig on the side. Maybe I'll even make the music I want to. It'll take time, but my goal is to move to Brighton and explore abandoned buildings and skateboard to work. I'll swim on weekends. I'll sew in the afternoon. I'll have walls covered in posters of vaporwave images and fairygrunge mushroom identification sheets. I'll be a mismatch of aesthetics and I'll dye my hair every week to keep up with what I wanna look like. Punk? Grunge? Indie? Emo? Anything.

I'll have three cats! And a dog or two! I'd like a Borzoi-like breed and a Dalmatian/Lab cross. I'll have a pigeon or two, or three! I'll cook breakfast for dinner, I'll take showers at midnight. I'll live on my time. How life works for me. I'll make it work. I'll struggle, but I'll make it work any way I have to.

I feel hopeful. I feel glad for this hope. Maybe this will be my year.

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

Howdy newbies and welcome to Tumblr, it takes a bit of setup to get this site running well so here’s what works for me. One of the neat things about this site is that its a different experience for everyone, so tailor these settings towards what you want from this site. 

I write poetry

With hands

That can't spell

-----

I sing songs

With a voice

That falls silent

-----

A story is formed

In my every living breath

- Calling to be finished

Complete

Whole

-----

I've never allowed it to

No end in sight

No full stop

Nor sudden halt

In the flow of my

Musical literature

-----

If I am to write

Then I shall write

Until I can't write

Any longer

-----

Until then

I'll use semi-colons

In place of full stops;

stop recommending this useless misinfo. the satanic temple is a bullshit organization who take advantage of reproductive healthcare crises to get more attention. they have never once actually won anything in court for abortion access.

if you have a “weird” gender, you are quite literally the definition and example of what trans is, not a bad example, or an outlier. you are the very heart and soul of the experience of transness. keep it up

I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit

[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]

Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

This conversation plays through my head any time I see a “queer is a slur” bullshit post on this site or anywhere, really.

(Homer’s Phobia, 1997 – guest star, John Waters)

Someone just liked this, so I want to add an important note:

“queer is a slur” is a common tool used by TERFs to poison young queers against their own community. They teach young queers that using “queer” is against the rules because “queer is a slur” and then young queers repeat it because the elders in their queer social circle told them so.

Why? Because if young queers understand that queer is a loving and welcoming term for everyone who is not straight or does not match their birth sex, then TERFs lose all their power.

Because TERFs don’t just hate trans and non-binary people. They also hate bisexuals and pansexuals for wrecking their view that to be a wlw, you only live women with vaginas and to be mlm, you must only love men with penises.

But also, to reject the use of queer, you must reject intersex people because TERFs base their entire view on what set of genitals you have, and because intersex people don’t have textbook junk, TERFs don’t like them either.

And you must reject asexual queers across the board because so much of TERF defense is “I just wanna fuck a woman with a vagina or a man with a dick!” And if you have zero or minimal interest in fucking anyone, you wreck their arguments about what queer people want.

You know who else TERFs don’t like? Questioning people. Because to question your sexuality and realize you are straight is a loss for them. To question your gender and realizes it matches your birth sex is a loss for them. Why? Because to question either of these things means you examine who you are beyond a base level, and if you go behind a base level and understand even a basic sense of the confusing and difficult nature of sexual attraction and how it does and does not affect your gender, you can more easily see the holes in TERF arguments, which are all based on stereotypes of gender and sexuality.

The only reason the “B” makes it into the TERF acronym of queer culture is because if they left it at “LG” their hatred of the entire part of the community who is most comfortable using “queer” is a six-foot neon sign.

And to any bisexual TERFs I haven’t yet blocked who want to argue they are bisexual TERFs, so my argument about the use of “B” as a political abuse is invalid: The monosexual TERFs will have you against the wall in a fucking second. You are the sullied allies they put up with until you step out of line.

Lastly, the gay man in this episode is voiced by John Waters. He is a gay legend for tacky film and also an activist for queer rights. When his joke of the Baltimore Museum of Art naming a bathroom after him finally came true a couple of years ago, it was a gender-inclusive bathroom. And he brought his longtime friend and trans activist Elizabeth Coffey with him.

I am certain John Waters would tell you not to fuck TERFs in the same way he has said not to fuck people who don’t have books in their houses. And I am certain John Waters–an out and proud gay man known for his beautiful trash cinema and love and support of trans people–would tell you that queer is not a slur.
