Conservatives and progressives have the same complaint, "we work hard, why should some lazy asshole get all my money?"

We just disagree on who the asshole is: the family on food stamps trying to get by, or thee dude paying cash for a third mega yacht.

I'm really normal and I have average reactions to things and events and these reactions and emotions do not escalate into any kind of responses that would warrant concern of any kind

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?

had to add that final caveat bc i cannot tell you how many times i've described my daydreaming habits and daydream narratives to other ADHD & AuDHD people only for them to tell me it's "maladaptive daydreaming" which I simply don't appreciate because in fact it doesn't negatively interfere with my life in any way. it's pleasant and fun and harms neither me nor anyone else so i refuse to pathologize it.

men love to make fun of women for overreacting in emergencies when they are, in fact, massively under-reacting

At her debut, on November 17, 1998 at the Kōchi Racetrack, Haru Urara lost, placing fifth – and last. Over the next four-and-a-half years, she would compete once or twice every month, but was unable to obtain a single victory.

In June 2003, after garnering her 80th consecutive loss, the story was picked up by the national Japanese media, making "Haru Urara" a household name. She quickly became very popular in Japan, and was called "the shining star of losers everywhere" (負け組の星, makegumi no hoshi), for continuing to run with all her heart, despite her seemingly endless losing streak. This surge in popularity was dubbed "The Haru Urara Boom", and news about Haru Urara even reached the international community, being reported in the United States, Canada, Germany and elsewhere.

During the boom, Haru Urara betting tickets began to be used as o-mamori, particularly for protection against traffic accidents: the word "ataranai" (当たらない) in Japanese can mean both "to lose a bet" and "to avoid being struck", so it was said that a Haru Urara betting ticket – a guaranteed loss – could protect the owner's car from being hit.

sinners is like the perfect horror movie to me because it’s simultaneously an unironically good, well crafted film, but also just a little camp. it’s a beautiful homage to blues music and it’s importance in black culture, it’s a metaphor for the long-term impacts of colonialism, it’s a challenge to the idea that hoodoo & other forms of black spirituality are dangerous, it’s a story about love and grief and human connection through music—and also a racist vampire does irish step dancing threateningly into the camera
