Please don't look at me. I do not wish to be perceived. he/him

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

Abandoned Tori Gate found in Japanese Tunnel

Such gates are used to mark the entrance to sacred grounds or gods' territories. "The tori gate symbolizes the division between the sacred and the profane, and is considered a spiritual gateway between the physical world and the spiritual realm."

Not me, I am pirating It's a Wonderul Life image by image by having absolutely frame perfect pausing skills.

A lot of effort for a work in the public domain, but I respect the hustle.

And their concern over screenshots has made it so that I can’t cast shows from my laptop to my tv because it just shows a black screen. Like, this “security measure” is making your product less approachable.

Regarding porcelain pillows

English added by me :)

If you think about the ancient Egyptian head-rest or neck-rest,

...it’s basically the same idea.  Something to get the head positioned comfortably while minimizing anything that could trap body heat & sweat in an already hot climate.

As the video points out, it's not that they didn't have fabric or other soft pillows, but soft pillows wouldn't be preserved until modern day. So we have more records of the hard ones :)

Anon posts the rare good question on 4Chan.

I saw in the comments that 'no one enforces' the loitering thing, so please know that over 10,000 Americans are accosted by police every year for "loitering", and many of these situations end in injury or death. The crime of "loitering" itself has incredibly racist roots, and today still serve as a blanket excuse to harass marginalized (usually poor and/or Black) communities. (TW in this post for text mentions of anti-Black violence, visuals of arrests)

For example, these two men were arrested while waiting to meet with a real estate broker. A white witness at the Starbucks said staff had no issue with her sitting there for an hour under the exact same conditions, but as soon as PoC came in the staff treated them completely differently:

Sadly, accusations of "loitering" have led to deaths. Amadou Diallo was shot at 41 times while unarmed. His neighbor had called the police on him for "loitering" in his own neighborhood:

"Loitering" isn't no big deal, and if you think no one enforces it that only means it has never been weaponized against you. For other people it has been a literal death sentence.
