Hi there, I'm Wesley (He/Him), 26, decidedly male, and I have a Kevin Bacon number of 4. I'm a leftist, a PHP web developer, and I enjoy a good laugh. This blog is a grab bag, really.
this person has a patreon where people pay them to make fandom discourse. one of the patron rewards is literally that she will make a Twitter discourse thread on the topic of your choosing.
Oh thank fucking god it’s not real
You mean this is something you can get paid for and im out here going to school instead??
Oh god her brain is actually huge
Holy shit.
She just looked at the sustainable energy source that is the relentless batshit insanity of Discourse and said “is anybody gonna monetize this or”
And I mean, we all gotta eat, right?
This is not an ethical way to make your bread but I can’t say it’s not impressive and kind of hilarious
For anyone who has any questions about ‘aren’t the statistics bloated because there are more school children than cops?’ (oh yeah I saw those) Let me tell you the answer of what the number of shot children in school should look like:
(Image description: A blank graphing template.)
None. NO children should be shot in schools. There’s your answer.
Why do cops get shot on the job? Because they signed up to enforce the law and sometimes that requires dealing with dangerous people allowed to have mass murder machines.
A child cannot CHOOSE to go to school until they are like 15 in some states. But adults CAN choose to fill out an application for a job they WANT. Do not equate the life of a vulnerable child to that of a grown adult making adult choices.
GLaDOS is literally the funniest character ever. Her arc culminates in her saying “I hate you so much it’s not even worth the trouble of killing you, so just fucking LEAVE. And on your way out here’s a full choir to sing ‘Goodbye My Darling,’ an Aria I wrote in Italian about how I love you and want you to be safe, which mentions you by name. Don’t read into it. Get the fuck out. And here, something to remember me by: a box with a heart on it. Leave.” to a woman who has literally never responded to anything she’s ever said
my friend was testing perfumes out at the store and she sniffed a bottle and anounced “ngl this bitch kind of sucks” The girl at the counter suddenly looked really sad, and my friend was like “I’m sorry, I wasn’t talking about you.” And the girl looked up and said “No don’t worry, I didn’t think that, but I just crushed a ladybug with my shoe” We both took a peak over the counter. she’d stepped on a red m&m
holy shit. this guy on the bus talking to a girl about how he trades stocks. and she goes “have you seen american psycho” and he said no i dont watch movies. im too busy trading

You’ve never heard of The Bog?
th
the what
EACH ADDITION TO THIS POST MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.
Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.
thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,
oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from Boston, with the strongest Boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and occasional organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer.
His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs.
This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.
Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.
So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”
“You’d be amazed,” he said to us, shaking his head a little, “how many guys would just straight lie. Like, you think I’m asking you that question to be cute? Nah man you’re gonna have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. You really gotta be chill with spiders if you’re gonna work a cranberry harvest.”
happy international workers day to the cranberry bog spiders
I want any cranberry farmers reading this to know, really truly know, that “are you cool with spiders” is not a specific enough question for this situation.
I’m cool with spiders. I’m not cool with being swarmed by giant, panicking spiders. I cannot emphasize to you enough how crucial the difference is
It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.
oh hey, thanks for reminding me to cancel a free trial i had going on.
Reblog to save an unnecessary charge cause it also reminded me to cancel a trial lol
