Update: Kind of, sort of.

news reporting on murders is always like ‘the victim was described by the people who knew them as polite and funny’ like yeah i fucking bet they did what else are they gonna say. breaking news local man stabbed 1000 times to death, grieving friends and family described the deceased to reporters as ‘a bit of a cunt’, ‘mean and bad’ and ‘just generally kind of annoying, you know?’

Lonesome cowboy with a heart of gold affirmations:

I am the most sincere patron of this saloon.

My haggard look is offset by the charming glint in my eyes.

While I do wear a gun, it weighs heavy on my belt and has never been drawn in anger.

My horse may be my only friend, but what true friends we are.

The clink of my bright silver spurs along the boardwalk draws many a lustful gaze.

tumblr is so funny for not only keeping peoples content active once they deactivate their blog, but also for straight up broadcasting when the person deactivated their blog. like this mf tried to leave in january 2015 but we will never forget about the feet pics, jim

They should make custom crucifixes where they can put a little model of one of your friends on the cross.

maybe if you take a hot shower. cook something. eat a little soup. feel a little sunshine. make something with your hands—it doesn’t have to be big. maybe if you stretch your body and draw a silly little picture and get some rest, the world will feel like something your hands can still hold

It'll always be funny to me how bone and blood meal are super common fertilizers. These plants aren't even even vegetarian, they're like "ah yes, bones and blood, exactly what i was craving. I am a normal tomato"

Have you ever wondered why bags of microwave popcorn practically scream at you not to use the “popcorn” setting on your microwave? It speaks to a mutual distrust between two classes of high-end professionals.

On one side, you have popcorn engineers: highly-trained food scientists, dedicated to understanding every aspect of how the microwave interacts with preservative-laced corn kernels. On the other lie the microwave engineers: folks who are copying a design invented in the 1950s and handed down ever since due to declining R&D budgets, whose only satisfaction in their job comes from making the brrrrr sound a little bit quieter and to add a couple more buttons to the number pad, so that their boss can ask for an extra $150 at the Walmart checkout.

You might think this exposes a little bit of my bias. It is true that I don’t really understand how popcorn is made, and so I’ve unfairly placed these humble folks (who probably came from Iowa or some shit) onto a pedestal. And it is also true that I’ve worked in electrical engineering departments, where the only remaining person on the floor who doesn’t have a substance-abuse problem is the intern’s intern.

Just to be on the safe side, I went into the belly of the beast and interviewed for a job. Wearing my least-molybdenum-grease-stained dress shirt and something resembling a tie if viewed from 25 feet away or more, I successfully negotiated my way into a near-minimum-wage job in the General Electric microwave-oven division. I couldn’t wait to figure out this mystery, and when they left me alone with a copy of the source code, I immediately did a search for “popcorn.” That set off some kind of alarm in a back room, and two goons emerged to assault me, screaming something about “fucking butter spies.”

Personally, I hope that this gulf is bridged one day. Not only does it represent the failure of Western engineering standards, but it no doubt leads to millions of dollars per year in wasted popcorn, not to mention gigawatts of wasted electricity that would be better off in our vapes. America can’t begin to heal until the average person can trust the “popcorn” button on their microwave to correctly prepare popcorn.
