My Crazy Blog

AITA for not telling my son we know he’s queer. I 40s(m) and my wife 40s(f) have a 17 (m) son lately he’s been sneaking around and keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out or getting interrupted. It’s exhausting and I think we should just tell him we know but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I worry it might come off wrong.the worst part is his grades have been slipping and if he’s sneaking around with a boyfriend that might be what was causing it? I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to succeed.

EDIT: nvm he’s Spider-Man

This actively happened in my lifetime, and I’m in my 30s. A lot of us experienced it in real time and no one stopped it. No one helped us.

When I was 16 we would hang out outside and inside the library. We ranged from a group of 20 to a group of 3-4 people on any given day, because us 16 year olds also hung out with whatever other kid was around the area. (Mostly younger siblings and then their friends.) We never did anything wrong, never mind illegal. We were never loud in the library and were always polite to the staff. We sometimes got a little loud outside on the street when there was some contest thing going on, but not very often. We mostly hung out and talked about stuff going on in our lives.

Then one day someone called the cops on us.

And the cops showed up all ready angry, then started yelling at us for doing nothing. They couldn’t even come up with a real reason to be there yelling at us, other than to demand to know if we were a ‘gang’. When one of my friends started crying, I turned to tell her that it would be ok. The cop grabbed me, screamed at me to not look away when he was talking to me, then demand I get in the cop car and go down to the station. It took almost an hour for my mother to find out where I was because I didn’t have a cellphone at the time and the cops had just fucking kidnapped me. For comforting a friend while they screamed at us. And you know what happened?

We never hung out like that again. None of us. We all got banned from the library for a year. Again, all of this for literally no reason. They told us we were ‘misbehaving’ for simply hanging around outside being kids. And then we had no where to go. Some of those kids were forced back into their abusive homes. I literally never saw half of them again. Ever. And I lived in that town for several years after that.

So, yeah. They just started kicking us out from the outside years ago and not a single adult or group of adults gave a shit.

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED

this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!

You know that post about how angels and telephone towers are biologically compatible? That’s how I feel about overgrown plants and industrial machines.

These two things can and SHOULD make offspring.

wives! yippee

Jason (to his family): What took you guys so long? I thought you were gonna be here an hour ago!

Bruce: Well, we were making good time in traffic until I got cut off by some crazed motorcycle hoodlum in black leather.

(Roy enters)

Roy: Sorry I'm late. I got stuck behind some walnut driving six miles an hour.

Bruce (points at Roy): That's the hoodlum!

Roy (points at Bruce) : That's the walnut!

Dick, Jason, Tim, and Steph are taking a lesson from Batman on how to patch bullet wounds

Jason- Can't we just use tampons to plug the hole? I feel like they'd take up less space in our utility belts

Steph- What???

Tim- Yeah, I heard somewhere that that's what they were originally invented for

Steph, blinking slowly- Are you being serious right now? Or are you joking?

Jason- What? Why wouldn't that work?

Steph, pulling out a water bottle and pointing to the top- Bullet wound

Steph, pulling out a tampon- Tampon

Steph, inserting the tampon into the water bottle, the boys watch in horror as it expands- Jason, here. Pull it out and pretend it's your leg. Then tell me this is a good idea

Batman, still holding the laser pointer at the PowerPoint he'd spent all night making- I wanted kids. I wanted to be a father. I signed up for this. Why didn't Alfred stop me?

There should be one night a year like the purge except it’s Superman coming to Gotham and clearing out as many criminals as he can. He only gets the 1 day a year. 24 hours to do everything he can. Bruce hates it.

oh you are RIGHT thanks for the tip!! grabbed screenshots of the highlights below the cut—

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

ok but why is OP asking free labor out of houndreds of thousands of people for the convenient price of £500 💀

and they didn’t even make the poster either? they’re asking for free marketing and creative input for a product they don’t even know the story of this is where we’re at

to be clear: im not making fun of zepotha cause it's "copying goncharov" im making fun of it cause it's an inauthentic manufactured marketing stunt. there's a reason memes like goncharov or barbenheimer or some other "this doesn't make sense but does" memes work. it's because they come from that weird place of internet collaborative humor, where jokes get built upon one another like a naturally-flowing conversation. when marketers try to do this, it's like doing this with an ad, so it doesn't really work. it feels fake and shallow, like the person that started it doesnt even want to be here.

I love seeing all these takes that basically all start with "I think zepotha will fail mainly because of x," and then x is always different, and yet they're all 100% right

“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

Felonies Donld is now up to 79 felonies, for a statistical average of 1.71 felonies per president

Update:

With 91 felonies, felonies Donld has now broken the 2 felonies per president average average (2.02 felonies per president)

I love the implication that it's woke not because you can play a woman with a dick but because the woman's are larger.

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and keep you forever. good luck 👍"

Purdue’s ‘world’s whitest paint’ wins 2023 SXSW Innovation Award - Purdue University News

Why this is so important:

This could be an important piece in fighting global warming. Imagine if the city of New York City repainted all the skyscraper roofs with a paint that cools down buildings.

Paint is awesome!
