A Box Simply Labeled: Stuff

@samantha-kirkland / samantha-kirkland.tumblr.com

There once was a girl. She collected many things. Having no where else to put them, she took an old moving box from the attic and wrote across the side, simply, "stuff". As the years passed, many things moved into the "Stuff" box, and moved out as they... omg I figured out how to edit this. I haven't touched this is like a decade. she/they, LS&T, Kaida_Smile everywhere else

he’s at it again

I want to see a Thai martial arts movie shot in this guy's house where everyone keeps trying to use things in the house as a weapon but it just falls apart because it's chocolate and what's supposed to be a badass fight scene degenerates into a few helpless men sliding and flailing around in a giant messy pile of smashed desserts.

I wanna see a movie where someone else is trying to cook in his kitchen but everything turns out to be made of chocolate and they just have a melt down as even the carrots are fake. Go to sit on a stool to cry, and fall down cause it's cake.

I kind of want both of these to be the same movie, and the same scene.

A haunted doll mistaking a creepy android to be a bigger, stronger, haunted doll, and the creepy android mistaking the haunted doll as a smaller, sassier android.

Ghost and the Machine

This came out SO SICK

I was so excited I forgot to show anything other than the front. This is a tarot deck box, I'll do a test fit when I'm home from the studio. I could maybe do a handful of these to sell if there's interest!

The holes in the side are necessary in order to have enough light on the pupil for it to be properly visible; the white glaze also helps with that! And the front is black for the same reason-- it helps bring the shadowy interior into the same color grade in a way that a pale lid would not.

It does fit! The Rider Waite with the box and the Marigold without. I'll probably go a bit bigger in the future just for wiggle room.

Now lets say multi-track drifting has a 50% chance to kill everyone and a 50% chance to save everyone...

"You need to fix the structural root of the problem" is both true and completely missing the point of the problem.

Ideally nobody would be loitering on / tied to the trolley tracks.

Ideally the trolley would be equipped with emergency brakes that could stop it in time.

Ideally, absent those, there would still be some way to save everybody.

The problem is that isn't always the case. There are people on the tracks. The trolley's emergency brake is broken. Multi-track drifting might kill the people on the trolley with you in addition to whoever it hits. And nothing you can do to make sure this never happens again will be done in time to stop this instance.

Fixing the trolley's brakes (or the platform's sight-lines) so you can stop in time will save future lives.

Adding warning signs so people stay off the tracks will save future lives.

Tracking down the person tying people to the railroad tracks with save future lives.

But the entire point of the problem is that those measures proved insufficient and there are people on the tracks now who can't be saved by fixing the brakes tomorrow.

"How can we make sure we never have to choose again?" is a valuable question! But it's an invalid answer to the trolley problem itself.

man so I was having a conversation about the things that make us human one day with my best friend and I want to be clear I don't really care if there's anything that separates us from animals, its just a fun concept to talk about cause you might learn something new, and I proposed that humans were the only animals that dip their food so dips made us human

then we both looked it up and it turns out there are species of birds that consistently will dip their food in water to make it easier to swallow so what these crows are doin isn't entirely out of the range of behaviour for bird kind

I love seeing list memes where someone makes a "le cool people vs le cringe" and they obviously skew it so they barely scrape by into the cool kids club

You just KNOW this dudes 5'11"

I'm 5'11, but in most casual conversations I'll say I'm 5'9. I do this purely for the chaos that it creates. Because everyone assumes that men only exaggerate their height up, it makes me look like the only person honestly describing their height and thus knocks at least 2 inches off everyone else's description. The panic that the 6'1 guys feel at the thought of being described as 5'11 is hard to understate. I have had people run back to their cars to grab tape measures. If I could get away with describing myself as 4'6 I would.

you are the diametrical opposite of the aforementioned guy. you are a demigod walking among mortals

hey it's probably a really good idea to download a copy of your Master Promissory Note since most of them stipulate that your loans are *specifically owed to the Department of Education* and if you intend to dispute the debt in the wake of the DoE dissolving that will be really good to have

log in and then go to My Documents and download a copy of it. i'm serious. if trump dissolves the DoE entirely it may make the debt uncollectable depending on exactly how they do it, and he's too stupid to listen to lawyers that tell him when he's breaking the law. worst case you have an extra PDF on your computer. best case your student loans go away because you signed a contract to pay DoE and no one else. go download a copy.

im trying to go to sleep but i cannotttttt stop thinking about this and laughing

Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain

We’ve made it 5 years folks
