Don't trust the mushrooms

THEY’RE ING THE CAT!!!!!

It’s dumb as hell that the markets didn’t realize trump was serious about this stuff, but even dumber that congress could bring this insane act of economic seppuku that has no significant constituency to a screeching halt *tomorrow*, and yet it seems utterly fanciful to hope that they will act

I’ve never been a big believer in the markets reacting correctly to world events, but this is just absurd. What sort of denial do you have to be in to not prepare for this obvious outcome.

the days of the media and business not believing trump means it when he says insane shit are certainly coming to a middle

Clown music intensifies

Economics is astrology for white men in suits.

The problem with astrology is that sometimes you're too focused on the angle of the stars that you don't notice the giant fucking meteor about to smack you in the head.

Reblogging for that extended metaphor.

I'll just leave it here...

this and a blunt

I have to hand it to Donald Trump, I didn’t think the sequel to the 1932 Great Emu War would be a trade war against the penguin nation but he truly continues to be an innovator in the stupidity industry

a comic about friends

in preschool someone read us the story of the red oni and the blue oni and it still gets to me a little

What they don’t tell you about speaking multiple languages is that your brain does not in fact have a box labeled Spanish and another one labeled German. Instead it has a box labeled “Not English” and sometimes when you’re talking or writing in one of the languages you speak it will just start pulling random words from that box.

I just wrote down “Tengo eine Katze” and then put my head in my hands

Whenever someone addresses me in a language I don’t understand my first reflex is to answer in Norwegian. It’s just unfortunate if the person was in fact speaking Italian or Czech.

I am only fluent in English and I have a few words in Korean and Spanish but it still happens, I’ll be trying to say no in Spanish and my brain is like here is the non English word you are looking for and it’s 아니

thrilled to report this doesn't just happen for verbal languages. my brain will present a welsh word when i'm trying to remember a sign and vice-versa

I remember during puberty talk in 6th grade they handed out permission slips for parents to sign if they didn’t want their kids getting sex ed and like five students ended up having to wait in the library while the rest of us learned about puberty and health stuff.

Afterwards during lunch recess almost everyone in class spent our time telling those five kids what we learned and showing them our handouts.

I desperately wish people would start actually reading the AO3's TOS before confidently making 'user guides' to the AO3 that are just blatantly, flatly wrong.

Yes the AO3 has banned content. They do not allow anything that's illegal under US law - though US law, importantly, does not ban fictional depictions of things - and they do not allow any commercial content. That includes your ko-fi link, or mentions that you do fic commissions. If you do post fic commissions to AO3 and want to mention the commissioner, the fic is a 'request' from the commissioner. This protects the AO3 and you from copyright law.

No the AO3 is not 'a creative fanfiction archive'. It is a fandom archive. Your meta, insights, and theories are absolutely welcome and encouraged there. AO3 also encourages you to post other types of fanworks, like fan videos, podfics, and art, but unfortunately isn't able to natively host those like it does text, so fic has kind of become what it's known for. That absolutely does not mean that other types of fanwork aren't allowed, or are discouraged by the site culture! Anybody who tells you otherwise is just plain wrong!

And another thing:

IT’S AN ARCHIVE - A STORAGE SPACE

THERE IS NO ALGORITHM

IT’S A LIBRARY, NOT A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE

So… (sigh) TAG YOUR FICS APPROPRIATELY AND PEOPLE WILL FIND YOUR STUFF.

That’s it.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

question! if a workplace is violating labor laws (which they often are) is there anything that prevents an employee from:

i know retaliation is something many workers worry about, but bathrooms at least still don't have security cameras. so is this a practical and anonymous thing to do? and if so, why isn't it more common?

They can't have cameras inside the bathrooms, but they can have them pointing to the entrance of the bathrooms. They can figure out who put them up based on what time people went in and out. It would probably work the first couple of times, but retaliation would catch up pretty quick.

Tips if you do want to try something like this:

Don't create it/print it at work or use company paper/tape - there's a time to steal and there's a time to be sneaky. This is sneaky time.

Hide the paper & tape before you arrive (purse, pocket, etc)

Do it during busy bathroom times - start of the day / during breaks when lots of people are coming and going

Be quick and silent

Don't say anything to anyone about what you're up to

Print them as flyers then pay someone 50$ to flyer all the cars in the parking lot.

oooo or enlist a friend to do it as a favor. your brain is huge and globulous

Don’t mind me just shooting green aura into your eyes as you read this auaaauhuaaaaaaaaaaauauauuauaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauaaaauaauuuuuuuuuuuuuauuuuuuuauauauaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

don’t fucking heal me

Oh god you wish this green shit healed

He's right tho

Sent this to my brother and he said "anyone who's heard of Margaret Thatcher can define a negative cow" and I needed to share that with you

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

I like how boycotting Target is becoming like, a reoccurring thing done for opposing political reasons

Straight guys who use tumblr are the funniest people ever literally how did you end up here
