adhd tip you can replace a “meal” with up to 3 hours of “the app” but watch out

okay done 👍 why am i hurts

Because of this post whenever I notice I’m mindlessly scrollling through social media instead of important things like eating I think the words “The App” repeatedly untill I close it

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

ive been collecting these recently and wanted to add some of my favorites

This article is about the symbol of a global catastrophe, a poem made of quotes from Wikipedia articles for anticipatory grief, the doomsday clock, the witching hour, and long-distance relationships.

getting good at fighting games is like repeatedly hitting yourself in the penis with a wooden mallet until you can understand the speed and weight of the mallet. then you start hitting other people in the penis with the wooden mallet

cant believe we live in a reality where getting a silly iced drink can set you back 7 dollars. it's like they want me dead

Not to be like "You kids don't know about The Past" but 20 years ago I could scrape together $15-20 American and go to pretty much any big retail store and buy a whole video game all at once, and I just had it and owned it forever and could put it in my very own Windows computer and play it whenever the fuck I wanted to

I'm gonna be the opposite of "You kids these days have it easy." @ all the zoomers who look around at the world you find yourselves in and think "damn, this stinks": You're right! It stinks like hot dogshit! I tried to stop it but there was only one of me.

Gen Z is fucked because they don’t consider actions to be inherently evil but only evil within the context of people they deem “deserving” of punishment, so now everyone’s a psychopathic little busybody with a hero complex thinking they can play judge, jury and executioner.

Remember those two ladies at Disneyworld who somebody said “looked racist”? They weren’t wearing Confederate flags or Neonazi symbols on their clothes, they were just a couple of fat older women dressed in t-shirts and board shorts. So someone on Instagram deemed it perfectly acceptable to mock them for being fat and unattractive, because they were assumed to have been “deserving” of it.

The same mentality is used to mock poor people in the South. Again, because everyone in the South must be a racist redneck. So suddenly it’s fine to sneer at them having poor living conditions, their political needs not being listened to by the Democratic party, for natural disasters to ravage their homes etc. Because they’re obviously all racist, so it’s okay that they’re poor and suffering. They “deserve” it.

Do you understand why this whole “It’s okay if I do this to the right people” mentality is totally fucked up? You’re acting bigoted to people and justifying it by associating them with a negative trait. Which is exactly what racists do. What homophobes do. Literally the actions of the people you think deserve every kind of misery, you are doing that yourselves.

Hey, in case you didn’t know, this is quite literally a major feature of religious fundamentalism. Anything godly people do it of god. Anything people who don’t go to the right church do is heralding the antichrist, regardless of the moral weight of the action taken.

I know we’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. This is just Christian fundamentalism wearing a gay hat.

Never ever ever ration fancy cheese or delicious fruit because it was "expensive". It will go bad before you even eat half of it and you will have denied yourself pleasure at your own expense!!

Also goes for lots of craft supplies. Glues, resins, cute stickers, washi tapes, caulk, basically anything with an adhesive or anything that changes properties when exposed to something else (air, light, chemical catalyst). You gotta use them! Enjoy them! Even if you don't have the "perfect" project to use your supply to its greatest potential, don't hold yourself back.

Creating art isn't something that can ever be perfected so that "perfect" project may never materialize. But what you can make right now will give you experience to elevate your skills and make you more satisfied with your future work. So don't be reserved!!
