To put it into perspective, there’s about 335 million people in the US. They are bitching about “spending” a little over 2 dollars a person, to take a break for 2-3 hours.

Imagine being forced to relive the most traumatic of your life, for the rest of your life

[sassyplantsspacetree]

Really struggling with this in the context of childhood trauma specifically. It’s ok to have loved your abuser, you needed them, you were little, you didn’t know better.

Just so we’re all clear, it is okay to miss people you no longer want in your life.

It’s like where’s Waldo but for art enthusiasts

I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys

if you don’t know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you’ve never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards

No media is truly lost so long as there are those alive who remember it Technically you could attempt to recreate an approximation from memory It might be your duty to actually.

It’s kind of how history and culture passed down for most of our history

Most of the Internet memes of the Mr. T Ate My Balls era are now lost media because the Wayback Machine's archive only goes back to mid-1996 and the idea of preserving shitposty image macros for posterity wasn't on anybody else's radar.

On the one hand, this is a loss of cultural legacy just as keenly felt as the loss of literature or film.

On the other hand, historians having to speculatively reconstruct Internet memes based on the verbal accounts of people who remember seeing them one time is very, very funny.

For me the gif didn’t load until I tapped it, and to me that was *chef’s kiss*

No, no it isn’t.

Living in a blue state is a magical experience. Crazy what you can do when your local government doesn’t hate you

I wish I could live in the fantasy world so many people live in in their heads where not voting somehow leads to less suffering. Sure would make things a whole lot easier not having to go to the polls.

Voting by mail is the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s like cheat codes for apathy. I can take as long as I want. I don’t have to put on pants. Everyone should vote by mail. The fuck are we doing it the old fashioned way for

I mean I was picturing Navi from OoT, but yeah pretty much

What the whole "walrus vs. fairy" thing really illustrates is the importance of defining your terms. What some folks are clearly taking "a fairy" to mean – including, based on their subsequent remarks, the original poster – is "you open the door and see something which by its very existence utterly refutes the validity of human reason as a means of gaining knowledge about the world, and you are instantly, intuitively and irresistibly aware of this fact", but what the overwhelming majority of people interpreted it to mean is "you open the door and see Tinkerbell", and those are two very different propositions!

(Well, unless you're the sort of person for whom seeing Tinkerbell would instantly provoke a full on H-P-Lovecraft-finding-out-he's-part-Welsh existential crisis, in which case they are in fact the same proposition, but this does not seem to be the majority opinion.)

Something that’s been on my mind re: Aaron. He worked in the air force in cybersecurity. Working in corporate IT I can tell you, security analysts have access to a lot of things. Depending on his role he could have seen some serious shit. he probably had security clearance. It’s plausible that he saw Incriminating correspondence; that he witnessed some mission debriefing. Something very damning.

Sure they have controls in place to monitor for, detect and contain inappropriate access, but he chose his words carefully “I will not be complicit” that implies involvement. It begs the question: what did Aaron see? What does the air force know? What are they doing?

No offense but the internet gives you the most wrong and fucked up idea of helping people because people get mad if you don't care about disasters happening in 72 countries, meanwhile the people in real life that are doing the most good picked one VERY SPECIFIC thing to care about and care about it REALLY HARD

One of the funniest failures of US school system is the fact they are legally obligated to teach us all the states but they never actually show how big Alaska is like I have actually had teachers tell me that Texas is the biggest state. We have all just convinced ourselves that Alaska is that small shrunken down thing on most US maps and the people that know it's the largest state can almost never accurately describe how large it is.

For context here is a picture
