You got: Instant Chocolate Chip Extraction No matter the brand of trail mix, you can instantly take out all of the chocolate chips. Just hover your hand over the bowl and *BAM* the chocolate is taken out. Your enemies are left with all the nuts and dried fruit.
An anonymous reader cites ZDNet's Zack Whittaker report: William Binney, a former NSA official who spent more than three decades at the agency, said the US government's mass surveillance programs have become so engorged with data that they are no longer effective, losing vital intelligence in the fray. That, he said, can -- and has -- led to terrorist attacks succeeding. Binney said that an analyst today can run one simple query across the NSA's various databases, only to become immediately overloaded with information. With about four billion people -- around two-thirds of the world's population -- under the NSA and partner agencies' watchful eyes, according to his estimates, there is too much data being collected. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why NSA wants to dump the phone records it gathered over the past 14 years.
@ white people who still thinks hamilton is for anyone / that anyone can play the parts if they’re “talented enough” ……… seems pretty fucking clear to me tbh
Sweet jesus that is straight up awful, and thank goodness news sites I could find said they went back on this decision, since that doesn’t sound legal. If there’s something that people enjoy then anyone should be able to enjoy it, that’s the law of our institutions - and what the hell is that sarcastic speech marks on ‘talented enough’, like the moral of the whole story isn’t about someone getting a lot farther by working a lot harder by being a lot smarter, by being a self starter? It’s literally all about the merits of the individual no matter where they come from, ‘where even orphan immigrants can make a difference and rise up’: that’s about inclusiveness.
It’s a shame that the producers thought this was fair to begin with, but thank goodness they had to go back on the decision. It’s also a shame that people in the Tumblr fandom apparently wants to segregate fans into true and fake by race (can’t believe I’m writing those words). Hamilton is for anyone, that’s the entire point of the play.
First of all, they didn’t go back on this choice, this was posted YESTERDAY. The crusty news site you are referring to was not only speculation but jumping to fucking conclusions.
How DARE you say people of color having something for ourselves is disgusting? We get NOTHING EVER. It’s about inclusiveness TO US. Where the fuck do you live asshat? White people are ALWAYS included.
Shut the fuck up and get the fuck off my post. You don’t fucking deserve Hamilton.
(also, if I see a cat outside, there's an excellent chance I will be doing my best to get right up in their face. So, you know, that's not a thing that needs to be worried about.)
““In the 1890s, when Freud was in the dawn of his career, he was struck by how many of his female patients were revealing childhood [sexual] victimization to him. Freud concluded that child sexual abuse was one of the major causes of emotional disturbances in adult women and wrote a brilliant and humane paper called “The Aetiology of Hysteria.” However, rather than receiving acclaim from his colleagues for his ground-breaking insights, Freud met with scorn. He was ridiculed for believing that men of excellent reputation (most of his patients came from upstanding homes) could be perpetrators of incest.
Within a few years, Freud buckled under this heavy pressure and recanted his conclusions. In their place he proposed the “Oedipus complex,” which became the foundation of modern psychology… Freud used this construct to conclude that the episodes of abuse his clients had revealed to him had never taken place; they were simply fantasies of events the women had wished for… This construct started a hundred-year history in the mental health field of blaming victims for the abuse perpetrated on them and outright discrediting of women’s and children’s reports of mistreatment by men.””
Today's comic was probably inspired by that anti-trans bullshit that went down in North Carolina. A thing I've seen a lot online is the attitude that bigots are on the wrong side of history, and that over time their voices will be diminished by the gradual shift of public opinion. I think this is true! But I also think it can potentially obscure the very real need for active efforts to enact social change.
Anyway, this is the sort of thing writing jokes about robots wanting meat arms makes me think about.
One of hardest parts about feminism is trying to talk about problematic topics without being accused of being overtly sensitive or dramatic. The conversation has barely started & the point has already been missed. It’s like nooo, I don’t need a tissue for my issues, I need you to hear how -blah blah- affects me & others like me. It’s not just about one person, it’s about a whole society of people that are being affected by the negative connotations of women.
I saw the above post just a minute after reading the below post by @qfeminism. Relevant!
SNAP Recipient: *buys healthy foods like chicken breast, salads, and fresh produce*
Some asshole: “People on food stamps shouldn’t be eating better than me.”
SNAP Recipient: *buys cheap food like hot pockets, kraft mac and cheese, and hot dogs*
The same asshole: “People on food stamps shouldn’t be allowed to buy junk food.”
Mind you, these are the same sorts of people that tell me I'm selfish when I say I don't want to have children because I know I'm not capable of giving a child the care, attention, and nurturing that they need.
ok but why is it that if you actually give cats what they need (attention, play, places to scratch and climb) you’re branded a crazy cat lady (regardless of gender)
but those same people only came into your convo to tell you that all the cats THEY’VE known are horrible hell beasts that don’t deserve such luxuries
like. thomas. YOUR CAT IS UNHAPPY. YOU ARE RAISING AN UNHAPPY CAT. THATS WHY THEY ARE UNPLEASANT.
maybe if you stopped thinking you’re too cool to provide for your cat’s needs, you’d have a fun happy cat too.
In the USA, it’s 100x cheaper to take an Uber to the hospital instead of an ambulance.
I don’t know if this is true or.. Like, having to pay for an ambulance that is taking you to the hospital? That doesn’t make any sense. What kind of distopian world is that?
It costs thousands of dollars to ride in an ambulance
In America some people with chronic health conditions like epilepsy literally have to wear medical IDs that say “don’t call an ambulance/911”. Some well-meaning person calling an ambulance for you will turn into a thousand (or couple thousand) dollars that YOU are on the hook for, even though you didn’t make the call. So, PSA: if you see someone having a seizure, look for a medical ID! You should only call an ambulance if: the person is elderly, pregnant, or the seizure lasts more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, wait for the seizure to pass, then ask the person if they want an ambulance when they regain consciousness.
This was Super ButtButt's strategy. Also, the boyfriend's cat's, but I didn't actually witness that, because their love is private.
Do you believe in love at first sight? This kitten spotted her human in a park, ran up to him, and wouldn't let him leave without her. Luckily, he took her in and now they're inseparable.
I would love to be proud of myself for resisting stupid societal norms by not shaving, but, I'm BLOND. It's not like anyone can TELL I haven't shaved my legs in almost two decades.
