Some of you think of Cops as kind of a symbolic figure representing “telling you what to do” & you’re Posting things like “acab includes fandom discourse” and I thuink the 80% white website needs to remember the reason why we hate cops is because they kill people
We hate cops because they’re a weapon for enforcing the state’s interests through violence. Like, they kill & imprison people. The antis don’t have a Quite Literal boot on your neck please god log off or talk to a Black person or something
To be SO fair like really generous there is something to be said for unlearning the habit of figuratively “policing” other people especially in the context of, like, not being a fucking snitch, “kill the cop in your head” etc etc, but can we not completely lose the plot re: what cops Are
Hey babe, are you a book? Because I kinda wanna break your spine
Are you a furby? Because I’m doing everything I can to turn you off
Are you. A bottle. Cause I want to throw you in the ocean. to send a message
Are you. Marijuana? Cause I wanna plant you in my backyard. and lie to the cops about it.
You must be vodka. The way my affiliates could arrange for you to be smuggled across eastern europe in a series of small, discrete packages
You are…. a spider. The way you are widely disliked across multiple continents for reasons that appear irrational but likely stem from a primitive survival instinct
You must be a prion the way you’re still capable of fucking with my head after I lit you on fire
Are you a spoon. Because I think if I bring you home you’ll end up in my roommate’s bedroom
You’re like a new MRI machine they way you need someone to put you in the hospital
You and I could be a miracle. The way we could never be a thing without the interference of a god
You have me feeling like a fly. The way I need to desperately throw myself at the nearest window
Looking at you is like staring into the sun. It feels bad and the longer I do it the worse it gets
You remind me of my dad
Baby you’re like the ocean. Because you’re cold, salty to the point of being toxic, and have driven countless men to madness and despair
Girl are you a three legged wardrobe cause you are just the worst dresser
You remind me of an exotic flower the way you keep killing house cats
You make me believe in destiny. The way my struggles to divert you seem futile
Honey are you from Tennessee? Because your crime rate is 63% above the national average
My man is like a cup of coffee, the way his existence is highly dependant on inhumane business practices
If loving you is a crime, then send me to jail. For unrelated charges. So I can get away from you
Who hurt you teaboot?
You want that list alphabetical or in ascending order of severity
So I’m getting upset about Pokemon switching to 3d models again, and I just remembered the absolute worst thing to come out of it.
Since about Black and White, Gamefreak started to experiment with quirky battle styles (you could argue that double battles was the start but I grew up with them and they stayed so hey). For XY, the games that started the shift to models in battle, they had the fun idea to do sky battles! In theory, adding a third dimension to your battling system is a radical shift that could redefine the experience. In practice, Pokemon is a turn-based strategy game with no movement mechanics, so it’s just a normal Pokemon battle except you can only use flying type pokemon. In the end, it was used for like three out-of-the-way NPC battles that you have the direct choice to opt out of and I don’t think it’s playable in multiplayer.
So we have this completely tepid battle variation that could be as harmless as triple battles before it, but there’s one problem. See, they decided that the battle models of all flying type pokemon need to be in the process of flying. AAAAAUGH
Already most of the shifts from old to new are incredibly stiff head on poses, but this means that every flying pokemon from generations 1-6 are doing the exact same pose. And it’s not even a good pose, it’s a completely neutral, wings out pointing forward pose.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: that hotline is forvo.com. It’s a pronunciation dictionary that allows you type in a word and see how it’s pronounced. They have multiple languages as well. Don’t see a word on there that you know how to pronounce? You can totally add it. Visit forvo. Help yourself.
that is much better than a hotline because you don’t have to actually talk to someone
tumblr needs to implement a feature where if someone makes a post about women and you try to make it about men in any way it immediately deletes your account and IP bans you and every device you own that connects to the internet explodes
I’m down for this, but could we get a version for trans mens/nonbinary folks’ posts to?
how does this comment make sense unless you think trans men are not actually men?
Jfc, I *am* a trans man. An agender masc presenting one. What the hell??
HOW are you getting that from this??
My comment was about trans men and nonbinary folks who’ve been having their posts about their own struggles hijacked to be made about trans women and how our struggles arent real/dont matter.
Edit: I understand after a bit of thinking how there may have been ambiguity. However, what the fuck is up with not even trying to find a way to ask for clarification that doesnt end up with you accusing a trans man of transphobia/transandrophobia out the gate???
ok just to recap: you saw a post about how people need to stop hijacking posts about women to make them about men. you then proceeded to hijack said post to be about men. you then made this post about yourself (a self-described man) and started complaining about trans women. i’m kind of in awe at the lack of self-awareness on display here
My mom just got a kitten (from my brothers cat who they didn’t fix in time) and shes talking about declawing the poor baby.
Can you tell me talking points to convince her to leave the baby alone? I already told her its cruel and causes pain. She says she had cats in the past who she declawed and they all seemed fine to her.
I ask for your advice since you likely have experience talking people out of de-clawing
Declawing involves amputation of the weight-bearing part of their toe. Tell her she’s only allowed to walk barefoot and with her heels touching the floor- she’s going to be in pain pretty quick without being able to use her toes and the balls of her feet. And if she can’t balance for the walking, have her stand on just her heels for about 10 minutes. That starts hurting pretty quick as well because the back of our heel bone is not designed to bear weight.
Declawing results in arthritis at a much earlier age due to the abnormal foot structure. The cat isn’t going to show signs until they’re truly crippled because cats hide pain. If they don’t, they’d get eaten in the wild very quickly. People with chronic pain also can function through certain levels of pain. It doesn’t mean we don’t hurt still, it’s just become “normal” and we still have to do things like easy and go to work if we can.
Cats that are declawed are more likely to bite because they don’t have their claws to defend themselves with.
Just get some couch and chair covers. It’s cheaper and kinder.
And get a variety of cat scratching options, both in texture and orientation.
me and m were playing The X-Files: Resist or Serve and he kept beating the shit out of zombies instead of shooting them and said it was Scully’s madness that was making her do it
god i never told you guys but a couple weeks ago at work i heard a guy say, and i closely paraphrase, “So I was out with my partner–republicans hate it when i say that. My heterosexual partner Jessica–” and i was straight up crying before he finished his sentence. fully diegetic convergent linguistic evolution live in the workplace
