by the way. i did not even tell u all how heinously cold it got in here. it was so cold for... like, a while, we were wearing anywhere from 2-4+ layers of socks shirts/sweatshirts pants to bed with blankets and robes piled on and it was still cold. it was so cold it was a struggle to wash my hands or shower as i feared hypothermia. it was so cold i could SEE MY BREATH yesterday at the kitchen table. and my landlord was like um well im not turning on heat till the 15th. arbitrary fuckin date. so that was really cool (ba dun tss)
#i was baffled..#argued with this man on the phone who gave me so much attitude and told me to leave the unit in our living room on#and leave our doors open and that would heat it up. and also to check the filter. i was like king#that is simply not sufficient heating for this entire apartment and we should not have to spend an insane amount on electric#bc you dont want to turn the heat on when temps go below freezing..#nothing in the lease abt that for heat. i think most places start in october. like dude.#anyway it's gonna be like normal average temp for the next few days so it's whatever but the second it drops i will be on the Phone.#get myself into a second landlord-tenant dispute#abby talks

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like
#i swear ive seen this happen in like 3 games now#and every time i am a little baffled at how this is a big deal#but like. well. they DID make an attempt. u right.

my (very white, very middle european, very protestant christian, very sixty-year old) father just dropped an inshallah in casual conversation. without precedent or without any acknowledgement. "inshallah they will send us a new internet router" he said. didn't even stutter. what did he mean by this.
#to be very clear i am not mad at it we stan a multicultural king but its just so baffling.#i cant stop thinking about it#WHO TAUGHT MY DAD HOW TO SAY INSHALLAH

the thing about the mummy movies is that you really spend most of the time thinking "wow brendan fraser's character is so cool" or "man oded fehr is so mysterious and heroic" when the fact of the matter is that these two
are the absolute most batshit insane heroes in the entire franchise
these two are intellectual loner siblings with archeology backgrounds who read and speak ancient egyptian, hire a dude directly out of prison to take them to a lost city of gold, and fight mummies literally with their bare hands. twice.
no one in these movies stands a chance against the carnahans. frankly they're lethal in how willing they are to make the absolute and most undeniably deranged decisions. jonathan pickpockets a dude on fire. evy's resurrected from the dead and immediately remembers how to use sai. they're racking shotguns from a cliff in this scene and then proceed to blow away half the antagonists.
rick and ardeth should be so lucky
#the mummy#literally they're the best and i'll hear nothing against jonathan being as cool as evy tbh#the third movie doesn't exist. also.#i haven't seen it since it came out and i have no plans to#1k#baffling amount of notes but i’ll take it i guess

Kamala Harris does want "transgender surgery on illegal aliens that are in prison", btw.
So since Trumpists are getting mad enough about the jokes to actually cite their sources, I thought I'd put the source out into my left extremist commie faggot echo chamber, too.
The claim originates from an ACLU questionnaire she filled out for her 2020 presidential candidacy, specifically this section:
She wasn't given a new questionnaire for 2024, and has stated that while her policy on some things may have changed, her values had not. (This most likely means she moved more to the center to appease larger demographics and cut corners to reach compromises. The basic politician stuff.)
It boils down to this: If you're in prison, whether for "illegal" immigration or other crimes, you rely on the state to provide you with necessary amenities, like food and health care. Her argument isn't "hell yeah everyone in prison should get sex changes for free". It's "gender affirming surgery is a necessary medical procedure. If you are in the states care while this becomes necessary, the state should provide it." If you're outraged by your tax money being used on this, consider the massive amount of people being incarcerated in for-profit prisons, on your dime. Then ask yourself if maybe a prison reform might be in order.
Worth noting: In 2015, while Attorney General, Kamala Harris actually argued against providing gender-affirming surgery to an incarcerated trans woman, claiming that HRT and psychotherapy were sufficiently covering her medical needs. She has since obviously changed her stance and assumed responsibility. (I would like to take this moment to remind my fellow left extremist commie faggots that "willingness to learn and rethink your views" is infinitely more valuable than "perfect from the start and unwilling to listen to anyone")
Also found in the source: This image of Kamala Harris participating in the 2019 San Francisco Pride Parade, wearing what I believe to be a sequin rainbow embroidered denim jacket.
I encourage you to read the provided CNN article and the answers to the ACLU questionnaire, as they give great insight into her values.
TLDR: Based.
#we dont have to get into the fact that most prisons fail to provide bare necessities to inmates because you make more money that way#thats not what the post is about#it is frankly baffling to me that the orange wet bag somehow referenced an actual policy stance#i wasnt aware he knew how to do that#fox news had covered it the morning of the debate so i guess thats how i found out about it#but i didnt know he knew how to read#transgender#transgender surgery on illegal aliens that are in prison#politics#us politics#kamala harris#election 2024#queer#trans#ramble#still think that one guy in my comments was a bot tho lmao#better a bot than this stupid#long post#go vote#vote blue#register to vote#vote so we can have transgender surgeries on illegal aliens that are in prison

rb for larger sample size! feel free to elaborate in tags about your process.
#tumblr polls#polls#i'm just curious#because i've met a couple of people recently who can bang out 10k or more in a day once the idea hits them#and that just baffled me to my very core#so i want to see#and i'm saying 2-8k because i feel like that's your general oneshot lengths#people are usually gonna have it up to 3-4k or up to 8k depending on plot/if it's pwp#etc etc etc

Reading Red Robin after having heard all the fanon takes is hilarious. It's like, oh. That didn't happen. That person didn't say that. That person did say that, but it meant something totally different in context. That happened, but it wasn't as big a deal as people say. That didn't happen. That person didn't say that. Again and again every issue it's actually so funny.
#uhhh not gonna tag for this one#i don't hate fanon and i think all fans have a place in fandom#but the takes on rr09 are so... extreme???#the interpretations of dick and damian are downright bizarre#damian in particular is actually really well written and sympathetic#how you can come away from rr thinking he's a bad person is baffling to me#dick i will personally free you from the 'sending tim to arkham' allegations

legitimate question ....... why do people like to tell me all the reasons they don't like miraculous ladybug? i know i complain about the fact a lot, and i find myself on the defensive a lot, and i keep telling myself i'll stop and let it go, but it really is hard when people are always coming onto my posts, in my replies, in my comments, on my art and my fics and my text posts and anything i make, and telling me blatantly all the ways that they don't like the thing that i so blatantly find enjoyment in. "the show is bad". okay? good for you? why are you on my post about it? why don't you make your own? why are you telling me, specifically, this, on the art/fic/analysis i made that i assume you found by searching through the tag?
it's kind of a behavior that i legitimately don't understand. I'm a human being and I hate a lot of things, too. there are things i've loved at first and been disappointed by and have strong opinions about. there are things i like to complain about. so i'll complain about them to my friends or my family or my cat. but i have never, once, not even for a single moment, thought, "oh let me go into the tags of this media, find a positive post about it written by someone who's having fun with it, and make it that random stranger's problem". never once.
i just don't get it. i really don't get it. i sometimes worry that i come across like i'm heavily critical of people who just personally don't like the show, when really i'm just trying to defend my interests to the droves of strangers who are always coming specifically to me to tell me all the ways they hate the thing that makes me happy.
just.......... why? where does the urge come from? what do you get out of this?
#i remember there was a poll a while back asking people if they thought it was ok to tell ml fan creators that you hate the show unprompted#and 'yes' won#and i am still baffled by that#why is this normal?#why would you even want to?#why is it impossible to be an artist/creator on the internet without having to deal with people bitching and moaning in your ear about the#things that you are dedicating your time and energy into for fun?#why is this the acceptable online culture?#you don't have to like the show. im not saying that. im not saying you cant complain or vent#im just saying. why TO ME?#buggachatter

"I feel bad because i dont really like sucking dick honestly"
"I'm not a fan of eating pussy really, whichsucks because I wanna make my partner feel good"
that is actually completely valid!! you shouldn't feel like you have to do something you dont enjoy just to please your partners! there's lots of ways to make someone feel good, you dont have to force yourself to do ANYTHING that you dont enjoy or that makes you feel uncomfortable!! and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're wrong!!
#i genuinely really enjoy giving head so i dont relate#but it's always so baffling to me when someone says they just “power through” or they feel bad for not enjoying something like that#you have no reason to!!#colten yaps#actual serious advice#ftm dom#ftm nsft#ftm t4t#trans nsft#t4t nsft#ftm bunny#ftm sub#ftm bottom#nsft ftm

"remastering" LOTR movies to 4K quality is my favourite example of execs' utter lack of understanding of artistic vision and clever filmmaking. WHY are you stubbornly undoing all the meticulous work pj's crew did to make the movies look fairy tale-esque and help the visual effects age more slowly
"this movie needs to look sharper and crisper" have you considered.......... that MAYBE.......... the glowy fuzzy filter is there on purpose................... to give the movies a more fantasy aesthetic and to mask the cgi better..........
but no we have to release the trilogy again and it has to look "better"
I can't believe it needs to be said, but visual effects like these are just as an important part of the movie (which you know. is a visual medium.) as everything else and by "correcting" them, you're doing the artists' vision the same disservice as if you started to rewrite the lines of dialogue
#whenever i see 4k versions i'm just baffled. they look so much worse#it's mine my own my precious#peter jackson
