Particular aspects of the extermination of European Jewry by the Nazis remain inexplicable so long as anti-Semitism is treated as a specific example of a scapegoat strategy whose victims could very well have been members of any other group. The Holocaust was characterized by a sense of ideological mission, by a relative lack of emotion and immediate hate (as opposed to pogroms, for example), and, most importantly, by its apparent lack of functionality. The extermination of the Jews seems not to have been a means to another end. They were not exterminated for military reasons or in the course of a violent process of land acquisition (as was the case with the American Indians and the Tasmanians). Nor did Nazi policy toward the Jews resemble their policy toward the Poles and the Russians which aimed to eradicate those segments of the population around whom resistance might crystallize in order to exploit the rest more easily as helots. Indeed, the Jews were not exterminated for any manifest “extrinsic” goal. The extermination of the Jews was not only to have been total, but was its own goal—extermination for the sake of extermination—a goal that acquired absolute priority.
No functionalist explanation of the Holocaust and no scapegoat theory of anti-Semitism can even begin to explain why, in the last years of the war, when the German forces were being crushed by the Red Army, a significant proportion of vehicles was deflected from logistical support and used to transport Jews to the gas chambers. Once the qualitative specificity of the extermination of European Jewry is recognized, it becomes clear that attempts at an explanation dealing with capitalism, racism, bureaucracy, sexual repression, or the authoritarian personality, remain far too general. The specificity of the Holocaust requires a much more determinate mediation in order even to approach its understanding.
The extermination of European Jewry is, of course, related to anti-Semitism. The specificity of the former must be related to that of the latter. Moreover, modern anti-Semitism must be understood with reference to Nazism as a movement—a movement which, in terms of its own self-understanding, represented a revolt. Modern anti-Semitism, which should not be confused with everyday anti-Jewish prejudice, is an ideology, a form of thought, that emerged in Europe in the late nineteenth century. Its emergence presupposed earlier forms of anti-Semitism, which had for centuries been an integral part of Christian Western civilization. What is common to all forms of anti-Semitism is the degree of power attributed to the Jews: the power to kill God, to unleash the Bubonic Plague, and, more recently, to introduce capitalism and socialism. Anti-Semitic thought is strongly Manichaean, with the Jews playing the role of the children of darkness. It is not only the degree, but also the quality of power attributed to the Jews that distinguishes anti-Semitism from other forms of racism. Probably all forms of racism attribute potential power to the Other. This power, however, is usually concrete, material, or sexual. It is the potential power of the oppressed (as repressed), of the “Untermenschen.” The power attributed to the Jews is much greater and is perceived as actual rather than as potential. Moreover, It is a different sort of power, one not necessarily concrete.
What characterizes the power imputed to, the Jews in modern anti-Semitism is that it is mysteriously intangible, abstract, and universal. It is considered to be a form of power that does not manifest itself directly, but must find another mode of expression. It seeks a concrete carrier, whether political, social, or cultural, through which it can work. Because the power of the Jews, as conceived by the modern anti-Semitic imagination, is not bound concretely, is not “rooted,” it is presumed to be of staggering immensity and extremely difficult to check. It is considered to stand behind phenomena, but not to be identical with them. Its source is therefore deemed hidden—conspiratorial. The Jews represent an immensely powerful, intangible, international conspiracy. A graphic example of this vision is provided by a Nazi poster depicting Germany—represented as a strong, honest worker—threatened in the West by a fat, plutocratic John Bull and in the East by a brutal, barbaric Bolshevik Commissar. Yet, these two hostile forces are mere puppets. Peering over the edge of the globe, with the puppet strings firmly in his hands, is the Jew. Such a vision was by no means a monopoly of the Nazis. It is characteristic of modern anti-Semitism that the Jews are considered to be the force behind those “apparent” opposites: plutocratic capitalism and socialism. “International Jewry” is, moreover, perceived to be centered in the “asphalt jungles” of the newly emergent urban megalopoli, to be behind “vulgar, materialist, modern culture” and, in general, all forces contributing to the decline of traditional social groupings, values, and institutions. The Jews represent a foreign, dangerous, destructive force undermining the social “health” of the nation.
Modern anti-Semitism, then, is characterized not only by its secular content, but also by its systematic character. Its claim is to explain the world—a world that had rapidly become too complex and threatening for many people.
i have seen only a few comments on youtube that evoked a similar feeling and i love them all

FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
i’ve been having terrible back ache for a week now, but i just did this and i heard a loud POP!!!… back ache is gone folks
i have this on my office wall and gave a copy to the front desk staff who also put it on their wall.
what would you do if that was you?
this is one of the few instances where watching the entire video was worth the punchline at the very end
EDIT: now includes all of season 1 and the reigen ova! <3
EDIT EDIT: both seasons 1 and 2 + ovas in full babey!!!!
FINAL? EDIT: i’ve been kindly allowed by @mp100stage to reupload and host the subbed versions of the STAGE PLAYS on here as well, as they were recently all taken down 💔 the subbed plays were a dedicated fan project to bring the dvd release to the rest of the fandom, and the translations were singlehandedly done by @katyatalks. the plays are really amazing, so please check them out!!
Also i really love how antisemites are like "the talmud is a secret text the jews hide from us that teaches them how to cheat christians" when the talmud is freely publicly accessible in its entirety and is like "does it count as something going from the private to the public domain if you throw it from your window into somebody else's window and it never touches the ground" and "Rabbi Yochanan said that Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, had a massive cock. The size of Rabbi Yochanan's cock was smaller than Rabbi Yishmael's, but the exact size is up for debate. Both sides agree that it was pretty huge, too, though."
For clarity's sake I'm not making anything up here:
Very good addition.
Goy Spouse saw this and asked me how large a kav is, when I told him I didn't know, he insisted I look it up. Chaverim:
Good morning to the person whose note in my notifications reminded me this post exists and *only* the person whose note in my notifications reminded me this post exists.
Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.
So.
in light of that.
Check the replies/notes of this post :)
I was informed that posts containing links in them aren't findable in the search so i'll just.... drop a link in a seperate reboot :)
first things first though, copy this key:
q4-EJ9G2DV7MYYI-Vs0KdQ
here's the edited version with the captal YY in the key above!
and also the Google drive link :
fyi if you own the game you can literally just copy the game folder from the directory and it will work, even on the steam version theres no drm, put it on a flash drive and distribute it in person or send it to someone
I'm gonna start a new aesthetic, it's called "badpunk". It's an alternate retro sci-fi look except all the technology is terrible and looks bad. Somebody add pictures, I need examples.
Great work everybody these all look like shit
Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂
Here is the result:
Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
Does making this content pay well?
There is actually a documentary that answers this, you can watch it here:
I run a dnd group, and I'm a big fan of crabs in particular. The last time I gave my group a giant crab encounter they loved it, and I want to do more, but I need a greater variety of crab species ideas to steal.
What types of crabs do you think are especially cool?? Or would be if they were big enough to ride like a horse? I've already done a fiddler crab and I have a horseshoe crab planned
once i homebrewed a dnd crab monster based on a massive Decorator Crab, where it allowed a massive Roper to grow on its back. it lived in a watery cave. so it looked like a regular stalagmite but was actually a crab. not only did it have a huge reach due to the Roper's tentacles, and some serious AC and resistances, but it could also move around the cave at a much faster pace than any roper alone would be capable of. it was wild and my players just ran away from it because they knew better than to attack it. anyways. use that idea. do that. and tell me about it. ropers are basically cave anemones anyways right? pom pom crab with huge fuckoff Mouth Rocks on its hands. steal this idea and tell them all whose fault it was
This is genius and I'm 100% stealing it, thank you so much
perfect make them cry for me and tell me every detail about how it went. and about your other crab things too. gimme all the deetz
If I can recommend you do 1 low-effort thing for the love of God it is this:
Keep 5 cards in your pocket. One will say "yes", the second will say "no."
If you lose your voice, or lose speech, or want to make a dramatic embellishment at the right time, it is an elegant and efficient solution that is right there at hand.
But what if people question you from there? "Why do you have that card? Why would you do this? How long have you had that in your pocket?" For this, or whatever else they say, the third card: "I don't have a card for that."
"What the fuck," they ask. They laugh. They are bemused. You bring the energy back down with the fourth card: "I have laryngitis. I've lost speech. My throat hurts". Whatever you expect to occur.
The joke is over. Rule of threes. Now they are curious. YThey wonder about logistics. "How did you know I would say that? Is everyone so predictable?"
As a three-part bit, nobody ever sees the fifth card coming.
"I have powerful wizard magics."
Gets them every time
this you guys?
Omg me :33333

Hiya! I'm typing this up partially as a resource for others, but honestly, in a large part I want to document this for myself and it might as well be public anyways.
Earlier today, I posted a couple of pictures in this outfit:
So how exactly did I get this kind of cleavage look?
Well, all you need are breast forms, a bra sized to those breast forms, and medical tape. But you gotta use them right.
First off, two warnings:
One, mild NSFW warning. This is going to show my male chest, as well as it strapped into weird configurations with medical tape. I'm also going to show very up close shots of "cleavage", so while yes, I run my blog as a NSFW one, this is probably going to be slightly more skin showing than usual.
Two, a note about presentation and quality. This post is going to show my male body and male features of that body in very crude ways. If you had any illusions about how feminine I was naturally under all of these layers, that will likely be shattered now. You're gonna see my shitty shaving that I slapped together this morning, how my chest fits in with my shoulders, and maybe a bit of my stomach. I'm also taking the pictures in very transient ways, as its hard to pause this process without actively holding everything in place. And that extra hand is holding the phone. for pictures. Which also brings me to the fact that I used my phone for most of these pictures, and my phone is a piece of shit, so the general picture quality is low. I don't know how tumblr will be about my nipples (inb4 "female presenting") so I've censored them out of precaution. Yeah I know it'll look weird.
The basic idea behind this technique is that you're taping whatever skin you have on your chest together into a cleavage formation, putting a bra over it, and then stuffing the bra with breast forms. In practice there's a bit more nuance to it.
My other disclaimers, and then we can get to pictures:
Use medical tape. For the love of god use medical tape, not any other kind of tape. There's a tendency to brush off these kinds of notes as "oh well that sounds like it will be mildly uncomfortable but I'll be okay" NO. Stop that voice. Use tape designed to work on your skin, or else you'll be ripping that skin off later.
Do not tape directly over the nipple. Avoid the areola if possible. This will be really, really painful. If you're transfemme and on HRT or AFAB, I'm guessing your nipples will be more sensitive than mine, and this problem will be worse. The key here is that nothing here should hurt. Maybe some squeezing is involved, but no sharp pain to the skin.
Here's the general idea behind the initial tape layout:
There are three basic "lines" to follow here, which I've more explicitly marked in this picture:
The idea is that there's one piece of tape holding each boob into place with the rest of your body, as well as one piece of tape holding the breasts to each other. I would recommend starting with the "individual" tapes, the ones in diagonal lines. Squeeze in the breast in question, then tape from the top-outer edge of the breast, down and across just below the nipple, and past the breast to stick to your rib area. Repeat for both breasts. You may have to keep a hand on the area to keep them squeezed inwards at this point, as the tape will have difficulty holding throughout this entire process. Then, while continuing to squeeze the breasts together, tape the horizontal tape, affixing the breasts to each other. The tape should go just below each nipple, from one far end of a breast to the other. This taping configuration will be very unstable, and likely will not hold without your hand keeping it there. After these are in place, you should just tape around for the explicit purpose of stabilizing these three "squeeze lines"- tape the tape itself down to a more stable area, tape over those same lines, tape those lines slightly offset to have multiple stress points and take the strain off of one single piece of tape. If the cleavage doesn't look as deep or together as you want it to, don't worry! The other steps and layers will help scrunch it in that final bit.
At the end of this multilayering of tape, it ended up looking like this:
It can be helpful to have the bra ready to go like I do here, but its not a requirement.
As mentioned earlier, the bra you use should be sized to the breast forms you're going to use in the end, not your chest without the breast forms. You're also going to want to use a low cut bra that leaves plenty of room to see the cleavage. Wired or wire free doesn't really matter. Here's what it looks like with the bra over it:
Notice the amount of loose space there still is.
I use silicon breast forms for many of my outfits, so just slide those right into the bra to fill them out. They should be shoved to the far ends of the bra, leaving the cleavage free- this may be a wider spacing than what you're used to if you've used them in other contexts before. It'll look something like this:
Mess around with the positioning of the breast forms in the bra. The edges shouldn't be visible- they should also help work to push in on the cleavage. Gentle tension of the bra pushing on the breast forms, which will then push in on the cleavage, is helpful to keep everything in place.
Then, start adding your layers! Obviously this is intended to be used with low cut tops and dresses, but go nuts with anything that shows this cleavage. Scoop top or v-neck shirts are great, as are a variety of dresses, like I'm wearing today. Of course, I've also added a corset belt to the look, but that's far from a requirement:
“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”
