Fucking. Exactly. Tap is awesome. It’s fast, it works, but just fucking standardize where it’s at!

But until then, as someone who works a register, people, please, look at the machines and see if there is a very clear label on it saying TAP HERE. I don’t know how every customer misses it, but they do.

I did not have this friend, so I had to become this friend.

Sadly, I still have no friends to share it with :(

One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:

If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.

If you convince 100 million people you’re the king of France… Then you’re the king of France.

Fairly short read effectively, it’s never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it’s speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.

I remember when I found out that shit was plastic. I always assumed they were organic material of some kind, like the body scrubs with the crushed up walnut shell in it (which probably has fucking microplastic in it, too). So disgusting.

This is why we need to change how shit works. It shouldn’t go: company does some shit > fall out > government steps in. It should go: company has an idea > must get permission first from environmental agencies

I thought it looked like OOT but it was just different enough I had to ask

What game is this from?

Honestly, you are depressingly correct :( but even so, misinterpretation, wilful or not, is only part of the reason I wish we’d go back to Liberation instead of Pride. I know the name doesn’t have to dictate the goals, but I feel like we lost sight of the movement when we made marriage equality the end-all-be-all, and there’s been such an abandonment of it since 2015. We’re not there for our trans and nonbinary siblings anyway, because gay men “got ours,” so to speak. A lot has improved in the last 60 years, but I wish the queer community still had the community part of things like we used to

Said it before, I’ll probably say it again: this is why we should never have changed the name from Gay Liberation. A movement based around human rights and liberation from oppression shouldn’t have changed its name from Liberation to Pride. Now we spend a solid 30% of our energy just explaining what pride is and why it should exist, and fending off the constant “why is there no X pride” bullshit. Call it liberation ans it’s very clear what it is, what it’s for, and why there isn’t a straight liberation movement-- it may even cause a few people to genuinely consider if they, the straights, need liberation, too, from the oppression of heteronormativity… Though that’s asking a lot of your average hetero

Curious, why do you remain registered as a Republican?

The lobstrosities are another reason I avoid the coast

100/10. The salt spray alone is incredibly dangerous. I had to move to the desert.

As a diabetic, can confirm. S’how this works

Currently drunk on bourbon street in NOLA, hooked up like 5 times, and just finished 2 of something called a swamp juice and another thing called a hand grenade… I definitely need water

sigh

Unzips

It needs to be against the wall, but I grew up with bunk beds in a room that could have fit 2 (well, in one of the places, anyway), it was nice. Gave us extra room for toys and shit and playing games

The bottom bunk twin speaking like he’s been replaced with a cyborg?

I was pretty stonery in m’youth, and lemme tell you, I was not about to wake up early enough to brunch

Completely unrelated, but tonight I opened an app to look for hotels, and it greeted me with a message that I had a “0% off” coupon for my next booking

What the fuck is this place?
