What the FUCK is an NFT?
when i see radfems clutching their pearls about the term "milf" im baffled. people are going to find women sexy and want to have sex with them. recreating the idea of "the sexiest woman" to be 38 instead of 18 is a good thing. i personally hate the fetishization of virginity, and milfdom gets around that. we should be clowning as hard as possible on 40yo men who are no longer attracted to their wives after they gave birth 3 times. long live milfmania
someone: children’s safety in fandom spaces comes first
people in fandom that are 30+: so you’re ageist then? you want me to die? you want to personally kill me yourself?
smarmyanarchist
someone: kids and teenagers aren’t as capable of risk assessment and rational thinking as adults are, so adults ought to give them some leeway and bear with them/their immaturity to a certain extent. you still shouldn’t target and bully them for their age though
middle aged internet asshole: so you’re saying it’s okay for a kid to shoot me in the face right now? you’re saying you want this kid to come into my house and murder me in cold blood??? but I can’t defend myself because they’re a kid???

Fuck retail and fuck people who have never worked retail and don't know what we go through. We had an issue with the pipes and about a dozen people had to work in standing water in the coffee shop for 5+ hours. Was it a huge safety hazard? OBVIOUSLY. Did we all want to quit? OF COURSE. Did we stay and keep working because we've been dehumanized for so long that we value the customer's coffee over our own health and safety? WE SURE DID. Plus, we obviously need the money. I've told this story to people with office jobs and they keep saying, "well ~I~ would have just walked out" like really? Are you sure? Very brave of you to say that while working a much easier job and making 3x my pay. Must be quite cushy in your tower where you've never cleaned a public toilet. You should be upset at the company for making us work in those conditions instead of blaming us for not walking out of a job that pays the bills.
Preserving games is SUPER important and no one in the industry seems to care about it whatsoever.
Emulation is important to games being preserved over time, because games, especially CD-based ones are so easily damaged irreparably. But the content is ultimately more important than the delivery method, and emulation is the only reliable way to make sure that said content doesn’t vanish from history.
We’ve completely lost an estimated 90% to 95% of films from the silent era. Roughly half of all films are already permanently lost. If the industry is not careful, we’ll lose the history of the early eras of gaming the same way we lost the early eras of film. Future generations will wonder why we didn’t bother to preserve such a crucial part of art history.
YOU JUST KNOW that there will be a point in time where gaming companies will realise like “oh thank you emulator community for keeping interest and excitement for our game alive” and then sue them into oblivion and rerelease the game for 60 dollars a piece
I need your help.
My female cat was missing for 3 days and she appeared this morning with a broken jaw and a necrosed tongue. My grandmothers friend was at home and i asked for her credit card so i could take her to the doctor.
She got there and was examinated and we assume someone kicked her really hard, someone really mean. She is staying there for 3 days, she will go through surgery, and she will go through tests and stuff, i got a huge discount, but I had to pay 1390 reais for everything.
If anyone can help cover that, i have to pay her credit card by the 8th of next month and i have absolutely nothing to cover that. If you can't help me financially, please do by reblogging this post.
She needed to go urgently, i couldn't wait. She couldn't breathe, she was spewing pus through her mouth, she has a huge infection.
I didn't take any pictures because it's very hard to look at, even more so to take a picture of it, but I can send receipts and keep you posted on how she's doing. I'll call later and every day untill I can pick her up.
I hope I can. Because I heard from the doctor her life is on the line. It really was a serious injury.
Guys, please, any penny you have will do.
Please donate to caroline.rdf@outlook.com @paypal, to help me cover that bill. I am eternally grateful for everything you do and after this, they can yell and moan and meow all night but they will not leave the house ever again. I don't even care how stressed they get, they just will not leave.
Please help me. Please do.
That ADHD feeling of "I actually do understand that you're being sarcastic, but I deadass do not know how to respond in a way that communicates that understanding."
This is also why people who base their entire sense of humor around making others uncomfortable by acting like they're being completely serious are so fucking exhausting to deal with.
things i realized in therapy:
i am allowed to be angry with people when they hurt me, even if they are sensitive and cant cope well with being told they did something wrong. their sensitivity does not mean i have to bottle up my feelings & their lack of coping skills does not make me expressing my anger abusive.
shocking, i know. truly shocking.

the worst part about studying languages is knowing that you will never be nearly as good at it as a literal baby
The only reason babies are better at language learning is because it’s their full time job and they don’t get embarrassed
If you, a teenaged or adult human, wasn’t embarrassed and could study language full time you would learn way faster than a baby.
In my defense, babies receive more positive reinforcement than I do as well. Babies will say ha ba bah dah ba hah and all the adults around them will be like 🤯 really? Wow 😱 that is so interesting 😁 great job! 🤗 and then what happened? 🤔
also people who are like “I’ve been studying for a year and I only have an eight-year-old’s grasp of the language”:

We need HOAs or some idiots will paint their house purple or put tractor tires in their front yard. If you want tractor tires, don’t move to a HOA neighborhood.
I couldn’t even fathom how horrifying it must be to live somewhere there are...purple houses and and yucky stuff in people’s yards. Thank God I don’t have any real problems like that.

listen my Nonna and Nonno live right by a purple house (it’s a nice lilac) and as a kid I was fucking obsessed with it because purple is my favorite color. I’d go nuts whenever we passed by it. Also it had a purple mailbox to match and it blew my mind.
No more HOAs. More purple houses.
imagine trying to control what someone else can do with or on their own property just because you don't agree with their taste in decor
NO MORE HOAs MORE PURPLE HOUSES
Related, becuase I just had to move: “just don’t move into an HOA” Do you know what a PAIN IN THE ASS it is to find NON-HOA Housing? Very nearly everything in the CO front range that isn’t a rental has an HOA these days!
Short list of the Shit the HOA at my pervious house tried to pull:
- Banning personal and community food gardens (The reason the tag for my garden is “The garden of earthly HOA violations”)
- Banning people from using thier personal yards as Native Plant Restoration microzones, something that looks gorgeous and is extremely helpful to the local ecology
- trying to get the city council to remove protections on adjacent city Open Space/Native Plant restoration zone so they could mow it.
- mandating the use of ONE landscaping company in the neighborhood, coinicdentally owned by the HOA president’s son
- Mandating the use of an unecessary water purification company on all properties.
- suing city animal control for collecting lose dogs and cats and returning them to the addresses on thier collars. You know. that thing animal control does so the animals don’t get run over or disemboweled by the coyotes or catch and spread rabies. The thing that’s illegal to let your pet do out here for those reasons Karen.
- Suing the city council to remove a city bus stop in the neighborhood that was heavily used by many residents. They damn near got away with it becuase the HOA meetings were always in the middle of the day on a weekday. You know, when the residents that use that stop are working.
- Sending people letters threatening to fine them for having “Out Of Season” holiday decor. Specifically targeting my Indian neighbors who were celebrating Diwali, not Christmas and the Jews with visible Menorahs.
- Fining people for doing thier own appliance and car repair on thier own personal property
- Fining people for operating a business out of thier house, specifically targeting a disabled neighbor that does comission tailoring and garment repair out of her home. never bothered a soul except the one snoopy bitch who didn’t like that her clients were allowed to park in the tailor’s designated and otherwise unused parking space.
- Trying to fine a neighbor for flying a Pride Flag
HOAs are invasive, bigoted, corrupt and cruel institutions that should never have been allowed to be created. If you live in and HOA area, showing up at the meetings to tell people what the fuck is wrong with them, Joining your HOA board to protect your neighbors and possibly organize the dissolution of the HOA is one of the best things you can do to protect the marginalized members of your community.
FUCK HOAs AND LONG LIVE THE PURPLE HOUSES AND TRACTOR-TIRE GARDENS OF THE WORLD.
Are y'all telling me this shit is actually LEGAL?
Here’s how to get an HOA to leave you and your purple house tf alone
cant stop thinking about this post. 😔
direct action
HOAs, IN THEORY, could be such a force for public good, and that’s what’s maddening. Imagine if an HOA was like “well we’ve got all these houses and this one empty lot, pay your HOA dues and we can install a community food garden!” or “leave your contact information on the HOA residents-only webpage if you’re willing to be an after-school dropoff for children in our community who may not have a parent at home” or “hi, Sally, we’ve noticed your yard’s gone rather hogwild and things weren’t like that before your husband passed last year, do you need some help? We have some folks in the HOA who can help you with maintenance, no charge.”
Instead they choose isolation over community in the name of a unity that’s in image only, and that’s really, really sad.
Friend of mine bought a small house, an old one in an old neighborhood. She had no idea it was an HOA neighborhood until the day she moved in. They arrived with paperwork she "had" to sign or things would get "complicated", aka do this or we're gonna make life hell for you. She immediately told them no, she has no desire to be part of the HOA, and they about blew a gasket. Went from civil to wtf real quick. They tried sending her violation reports, demanded she pay fines, threatened her, etc. What they didn't know is she's petty and gives zero fucks. She also lives keeping paperwork nice and tidy.
Shit hit the fan when she installed a wall around her property. A 3 feet tall 2 foot wide wall around her yard. Topped with gorgeous iron work with sharp points that make climbing dangeous. Think Addams Family Lite. They tried to stop the construction because she was using the /wrong/ company (a mutual aid group she worked with). Send her fines and fees, and made the mistake of sending a copy of the HOA contract with a forged signature.
Ooooo...it got so ugly! She remembered the HOA post here about that happening to others and, well, the HOA broke up because of other fuckery on top of this. But it was mostly due to her dragging them in court for fraud, harassment, disturbing the peace, trespassing, stalking, and a few other things. She was petty about it too, looked into every fucking thing she could to destroy them.
I was informed that you not, in fact, obligated to sign the HOA contract. It's not a legal requirement. When you look for a home, make sure to ask about the possible HOAs, and look at the details of your homeowner's contract. Sometimes HOAs have that shit written into the purchase. If you see it, change the contract, put your initials and date in the changed sections, and see how the real estate agent handles in. This is legal, btw.
Don't sign the HOA contract, learn the laws regarding yard stuff (did you know you can apply to have your yard declared a wildlife reserve?), and be petty af when the nosy neighbors won't mind their business.
I stand by my previous addition, but I’d like to add that you should 100% talk to your neighbors. See how many of them actually like the HOA and how many you can get into “I would, but the HOA...” statements. Then work to break that shit up.
Apparently my dad got threatened with an HOA fine while we were in PA. He went to the head of the HOA and basically went “fuck you, if you’d asked a single person on my street or paid the least bit of attention you’d know I didn’t weed this week because I WAS AT MY WIFE’S FUNERAL.”
They backed down (my dad is one of those men who’s incredibly gentle and slow to anger but if you fuck around you WILL find out and it will scare the shit out of you), but they can and will pull this shit, so—just see what you can do about breaking them up.
This is a cartoon posted by a trump support and I guess it’s supposed to be shameful and humiliating but it’s actually the future that I want to see. Men being able to hold each others dicks up for them when they’ve had too much to drink. It’s all about support.
