I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS”

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.

The Tears of the Kingdom speedrun is already down to like 70 minutes (not counting the presently unskippable seven-minute intro), and I'm not gonna lie, I'm very keen to see where it goes from here.

male characters are at their most relatable when they have a weakness for insane women

when a man in a work of fiction looks at a woman with heart eyes as she carries out atrocities. when he looks a little scared a little horny. when he aids and abets. when he enables her in her killing and maiming and execution of violent revenge or whatever. i get very barbie as the princess and the pauper i'm a girl like you.mp3 about it

hell yeah brother

I think the funniest way for a Christian to be islamophobic is when they refuse to refer to the the Abrahamic god in Islamic context as God, so they just use the Arabic term "Allah" as if they're two entirely different beings even though Allah means God

We do worship different gods; you see, one is a man, the other is the supreme being worshiped by Jewish people and Muslims

Edit since this is gaining a lot more traction than I thought it would honestly: I don’t take credit for this, this tweet is originally from SuperButterBuns on Twitter. Great gaming content creator, highly recommend checking them out on Twitch and YouTube!

Why did English keep the German ‘stark’ as an intensifier but only for ‘naked’ and ‘raving mad’

on the announcement that Disney+ is removing a plethora of shows and films from its service, please read these tweets from Willow writer John Bickerstaff. this is not a tax writeoff like Batgirl, because these projects have already been released. this is a move designed to cut off financial support in the form of residuals, and break the spirit of the strike. here is the deadline article that lists the films/shows that will be removed.

as always, donate to the entertainment community fund, vocally support the WGA online and irl, or join a picket in a major US city if you can. let them know they can't keep getting away with things like this.
