The curtains are never just blue

Watched a video where someone found a recording of local radio coverage of the Moon landing and it's so weird listening bc

Happy moon landing day

The video...

...and the uncut coverage

Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread

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

"why do people conflate top/bottom and Dom/sub" because we haven't socially destigmatized kink. that's literally it.

if you say you're topping your boyfriend when you push him around in the bedroom you're being cool and quirky and using slang to describe your antics. if you do the same thing and say you're domming him you must be a seriously freaky person. that's why people use top to mean Dom and bottom to mean sub. they know even if we allow the nice clean gays with their fun bedroom terms into our society, we should never ever be like Those People who spend significant amounts of time and energy learning how to have the kind of sex so many of us clumsily imitate in our bedrooms.

"researching kink is forbidden. talking about kink is forbidden. slapping your partner and choking them is normal because I saw it in porn and my buddies say they do it. don't go to seminars on how to manage the risk of those activities or you're a sex-obsessed freak. I'm the normal one, the one whose partner chokes me with their belt and doesn't know what aftercare is. I'm a bottom."

the problem is that kink activities are socially acceptable and even expected, but having any awareness of the terminology or safe ways to play surrounding them is heavily stigmatized. kink anti-intellectualism is rampant among people of every political orientation because of how badly our society has poisoned us. so we can't even say Dom or sub to refer to ourselves. it's a symptom of that problem.

Idk why staff thinks they can make huge and unnecessary changes to their layout and their highly autistic userbase is just gonna be okay with that

white people will see a menu and order from it

So true 💯💯

Once at my last job my coworkers decided to do a group delivery for lunch. And I was in a foul mood and I'd never eaten from this particular chinese restaurant so I just clicked sesame chicken, whatever. And then I found out that my other three white coworkers were ALL ALSO GETTING SESAME CHICKEN and it made me so angry and I demanded to change my order before they clicked send and they were mad at me and I was like we are not ordering 4 containers of sugar chicken! It's disgraceful!

have you ever considered that maybe sesame chicken is just good and sometimes people just all have the same taste in food?

The United States has a meat consumption problem. If you look at the most popular and "palatable" Americanized dish from any ethnic food tradition you're going to find the one that is primarily about seasoned meat. No "weird" vegetables allowed! And any vegetables that are present must be easy to treat like a garnish, something just there to provide some color. It isn't just embarrassing from a culinary point of view, it's also an extremely privileged attitude from an economic and environmental point of view.

I was embarrassed of my lazy choice, and when we were all collectively making the same lazy choice it didn't make me feel better about my choice it made me feel worse. It is absolutely a me problem; I am part of the problem and I am ashamed.

good God it's sesame chicken from Lucky Bamboo China House who gives a shit

Fellas, it is white privileged and americanized to eat chicken??

Yes it is quite a privilege to live in a time and place of such historically unheard of prosperity that we can put more of the best part of food in our food

Can you imagine getting angry at what other people eat?

Also...blaming this on white people? I'm black and my family will all order the orange chicken while I get Chow ho fun. They arent getting the Aloo Chat and Hariyali Tikka from the local Indian restaurant. Theyre getting chicken curry and naan.

Even other Asians. I think almost 9 years in Japan gives me enough experience around Asians to say that even in Japan, Fried chicken is kinda the go-to. And Japanese people at non-Japanese resraurants? The same as Americans. (Also dont get me started on nom-americans ordering at American restaurants).

This is just a human thing, not a white people thing. Stop blaming everything you deem bad on white people. It's lazy and racist.

I had a very young kid with a hereditary heart condition come in today to be seen. My colleague excitedly told him that I play “that ‘dungeons and dragons’ game just like you do!”

The kid deadpans me with “I DM for 8 people who keep splitting the party, I think that’s why I’m really here.”

Relatable, kid, relatable.

Hey man when you got struck by lightning we all saw your skeleton and it.was really effeminate and demure.
