strongest gun in the game

8 years ago i made this stupid death grips joke and it basically languished on an external until this morning when i got confirmation from my much bigger death grips fan girlfriend that it is in fact a solid goof and gag, so now im uploading it here

Friendly reminder that rubbing ANY combination of genitals together in a non-penetrative way that is pleasurable for both parties counts as frotting. It does not have to be phallocentric.

Anyone can frot.

Anyone can frot.

What the fuck did i wake up to. What the fuck is going on. Do i want to know

Really awesome article, recommend reading the whole thing

“Drive by the multimillion-dollar homes, pools and golf courses of the renowned New York escape, Southampton, and you would scarcely know there is an Indigenous population there. But the Shinnecock have been on Long Island for the last 13,000 years, or as the Shinnecock will tell you, 400 generations.

They are one of New York’s oldest self-governing tribes, and about half of the tribal members live on the 900-acre peninsular reservation. Traditionally, the Shinnecock were a mariner tribe, and their history as expert fishermen, hunters, farmers and whalers has proven critical in the absence of other economic opportunities. Today, however, the tribe faces constant ecological threats.

The more immediate threat is to the marine life that the nation has depended on to sustain them.

“For generations, we were taught how to live off the land, or how to fish for what we need, but it’s just not possible any more because the nitrogen levels in the sea,” said Troge. “It’s killing all of the fish and the shellfish that have sustained us.””

…

“It really amazed me that so many of the sisters joined us,” said Troge, “They were so respectful.”

When Genia contacted the monastery to discuss collaborating with the kelp farm, Sister Joan was quickly on board.

“How can we deny them that?” she says, “The bay has their name!”

The sisters offered a cottage at their retreat center to serve as a hatchery. When the question of finances came up, Sister Joan was clear: anything profits made from the kelp farm belonged to the Shinnecock. “We’re here to support you and to affirm you,” she said.

Within a couple of months, the cottage was transformed with fish tanks and warming lights. In 2021, the Shinnecock Kelp Farm was launched, and to date, 20 lines of kelp have been planted in the bay. The sisters help check the kelp lines or watching Troge’s one-year-old son when she visits. During the pandemic, they offered a “kind words program”, where sisters sang and recited poetry to the seedlings; now, they’re making it a regular practice.

Success

In the last two farming seasons, Troge has seen an increase in scallops, clams, sea horses, and other species she hasn’t seen in years, sheltering in their kelp lines. “We expanded our hatchery 10 times this season,” said Hopson Begun. In addition to their original farming site, they have since added two more at opposite ends of the bay. They hope, in time, to expand their farm sites deeper into the bay and ocean, and are currently working to secure the boats they would need to do so.

…

As a community in the throes of adversity, the outlook for future generations of tribal members may seem unpromising. But the Shinnecock are placing their trust in the same foundational values that have sustained them for 13,000 years.

“As Shinnecock we are taught to preserve our life for the next seven generations,” said Tela, “It’s what drives us to take action to protect the water now.”

please internet, you gotta believe me, Overwatch 2 having a 10% positive rating is because of the dastardly Chinese, I SWEAR

In case you're wondering what the video is actually about (Like I was) it's basically a quick rundown of why Overwatch 2 has been so poorly reviewed, both on an international scale, but also particularly strongly in China.

When Blizzard stopped supporting their games in China not only could players no longer play Blizzard games, but Chinese players lost their entire Blizzard account. WoW, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, etc all the hours Chinese players put into these games was lost with little to no warning.

The steam release of Overwatch 2 meant that Chinese players of all Blizzard games (Not just Overwatch 2) had a way to voice their complaints about how poorly Blizzard has treated them.

TL:DR: Chinese players are giving Overwatch 2 bad reviews for the same reason everyone else is, except they have alot more players that have a lot more reasons to complain.

“why don’t you just…?” the answer is either money or anxiety

or the Bone Pharoh

90% of the time it’s money

10% of the time it’s the bone pharoh

Transcript: It reminds me of the “bike to work” movement. That is also portrayed as white, but in my city more than half of the people on bike are not white. I was once talking to a white activist who was photographic “bike commuters” and had only pictures of white people with the occasional “Black professional” I asked her why she didn’t photograph the delivery people, construction workers etc… id. the Black and [Latine] and Asian people… and she mumbled something about trying to “improve the image of biking” then admitted that she didn’t really see them as part of the “green movement” since they “probably have no choice” - I was so mad I wanted to quit working on the project she and I were collaborating on. So, in the same way when people in a poor neighborhood grow food in their yards… it’s just being poor- but when white people do it they are saving the earth or something.“ -comment left on the Racialious blog post “Sustainable Food and Privilege: Why is Green always White (and Male and Upper-Class) (via meggannn).

the same thing when you look at the ~tiny house movement~ versus, say, people living in trailers, or even just renting in apartments or sublet housing
