Sometimes it feels like you've lived your whole life in a house that's always a little bit on fire. Like it's usually just in one room and you make sure to wet the walls around it so it doesn't spread and that usually works. You were expected to take more responsibility over fire containment when you were like seven because it's not like you can expect your parents to always be 100% on guard about making sure the whole house doesn't catch fire, and you figure that's just how things are like.

And sometimes as a kid you visit your friends' homes and some of then whisper to you - grimacing with embarrassment - about how they're not supposed to tell anyone this, but there's a whole room in their house that's currently on fire. And you're like yeah it's ok I'm not supposed to tell people about the way our house is a little bit on fire all the time, too. And then you visit some other friend's house and there's no trace of fire anywhere, and you think "wow, these people are really good at hiding their house fire."

And one day you show up to work like "hey sorry I'm late, I forgot to wet the walls before going to bed last night and my whole house burned down", and you're startled by the way people react, acting like that must be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. And you're just like "chill, it's been years since the last time this happened, and it wasn't even that bad this time", and that just makes people more shocked, acting like that's the weirdest and most concerning thing they've ever heard anyone say, which only confuses you more.

And then someone tries to explain to you that people aren't supposed to have an ongoing house fire. Most people actually never experience a house fire in their lives. Like not even once. Not even a little bit. The normal amount of having your house be currently on fire is zero.

id: a picture of a page from the Japanese translation of Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka, a novel about a stupid soldier fighting in WW1 originally written in Czech. A quote in Hungarian, “Baszom az anyát, baszom az Istent, baszom a Krisztus Máriát, baszom az atyát, baszom a világot!” is phonetically transcribed to Japanese in a poor quality. Then an annotation follows, saying “Hungarian words for vulgarly insulting mother, father, the God, Christ and Mary, and entire world”.

@alexfeelyx I know *of* this, only because they actually put a movie adaptation on Netflix a while back. I haven’t actually watched/read any of it because yeah it doesn’t seem to be a thing here 😂 it’s on my list to get around to eventually

Asterix the Gaul just isn’t a thing in the US. I’m not sure why. Other French comics like the smurfs and that ladybug thing have gotten popular here.

I first learned about that series when I was in Switzerland. It seems to be huge in Europe. Never once in my life have I seen an Asterix comic on sale in an American bookstore.

I mean I’m American and I don’t like it very much. Not sure why. Maybe it’s all the stereotypical caricatures in it, maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with it, I dunno.

A lot of people online seem to think it’s because Americans don’t understand European history or something but that’s not it. We know more about European history than people think we do and we like drugs and stuff about ancient history as much as the next person. I mean Popeye pretty much turned spinach into a drug.

Just isn’t appealing somehow I guess. Doesn’t fit American humor or something.

I don't have the energy anymore to rewrite this post in a less angry way so you'll just have to take it as it is.

I honestly can't believe American "leftists" are out here arguing if trans men/mascs deserve to be included under the trans umbrella while also ignoring every single nonbinary person and anyone who identifies with multiple genders and just generally being intersexist while

THEY FUCKING BANNED PRIDE IN HUNGARY

My country is losing it's basic human rights left and right and y'all are creating more infighting and falling for psyop bullshit more than ever before

Literally no one I've met in this country who isn't a straight up a transphobe thinks like this. Because we DON'T have the time for it! We have these serious real issues and you guys act like you can argue your way into human rights with each other, but all you are doing is reducing the theoretical part of what rights are actually until the current conservative fascist status quo is somehow progressive and leftist. I feel like I'm in an asylum when I see y'all argue this shit.

Please for the love of everything just look outside your bubble for once and try to support human rights in other countries as well. Our economy and currency is poopy shit so if you were to donate with your money it would be a lot more worth it.

I recommend donating to

Budapest Pride (our biggest longest running pride event, as far as we know they'll still hold it, however attendees could receive a mark in their record or even insanely high fines)

Diverse Youth Network (organizers of our second Pride, held in the city of Pécs, it's very important for us to show that rural cities also have queer ppl)

Háttér Társaság (x) (they provide legal and psychological support for LGBTQ+ ppl, do studies and report on news concerning us)

Amnesty Hungary (x) (they campaign for other causes as well but their main angle in our country is LGBTQ+ rights. They create many events for us and support our Pride)

@rmilkies pls learn french so we can talk like this

j'adore le franglish content le code switching c'est tellement fun je sautille from a language to another like a gazelle et toi aussi tant que tu voudras :)

OUAIS baby we are so fucking back. franglais est parfait parce que americans get mad AND it sends evil psychic vibes à l’académie française. The phrase “qu’est-ce qu’y’all doing aujourd’hui” came out of my mouth this evening and i think that might be the pinnacle of human language. i love being annoying

Tumblr is such a delightful space because there really is people from all walks of life. There's somebody with the life experience range of an 11-year-old in a 33-year-old body going "actually being engaged with this thing that I have never encountered in real life is super weird and creepy, I don't know anybody who does that", and the next person is like "we are trying to teach my daughter latin since she already knows all the latin names of her favourite animals and my grandmother's best friend is an university professor who teaches it", and the next one is like "anyway a funny thing happened today when I was sucking dick for meth "

I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"

I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir
