Quit soda years ago but every time I make eye contact with a Mtn Dew Voltage I’m go through a series of blissful daydreams in which we are two great friends left alone in a world of sunshine and tulips and boy I’m ready to throw away my mortal life for the chance to find that heaven on the other side

I know I'm getting too old for teen shows when Q said to Dae "you also have the love of your life 20 feet away from you" and I went "Love of your life???!!! You're 16!!!"

tfw where you fall asleep in the chair and then are both groggy and have a crick in your neck…

Unmatched feeling emptying out your dehumidifier and thinking "jesus all this water would've just been in the air!!"

Man I wish I had laugh lines instead of frown lines.

of course they compare freedom and intellectual exploration to being hit - these puritanical mindsets are shame- and fear-based and come from this very anti-humanist belief that people would generally just be monsters if left to our own devices and not strictly controlled.

(also “You know who else says the impact and severity of a thing depends on its context? People who defend hitting their children!” draws the same kind of false parallel and has the same ridiculous absence of logic as “You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler!”)

There is genuinely no such thing as an inappropriate book for a child.

Put new insoles in my shoes and holy fuck I hate not realizing how worn down my old ones were

I get it. I get the banks want to keep me safe. I appreciate the steps taken to stop fraud and keep my money in my account.

But jesus fucking christ, why is it so difficult to do something as simple as change my address on my online banking accounts

Have you had Nazi propaganda blazed onto your dashboard? Me too.

Its no secret that Tumblr doesn't give a damn about its user base. It's been made abundantly clear to me that not only do they not care. Tumblr is allowing posts with direct links to nazi propaganda and chatroom sites to be blazed!

The only reason I found this post? Because Tumblr put it in front of my face on my dashboard.

In the notes of this post there were dozens of reblogs with things like "is this an ARG?" "Oh whats this, save for later". One comment that said "tempting".

This is a neo nazi trying to recruit you.

Report this immediately. Do not click links. Email support@tumblr.com telling them that you don't want neo nazis paying them to show us this garbage.

If you want to know how I figured out what this was in more detail, I'll put it under a read more so that everyone can be a little safer and a little smarter out there.

First: I went to the persons blog.

This one in particular is clever enough to have an ask about palestinian donations as their first post. The second is the one screenshot above.

I kept scrolling. Most are youtube links posted with 0 notes or interaction. This is another link to the same site here.

If you scroll far enough, you'll see they've reblogged an original post.

If you directly copy and paste this text into google, you'll find exactly one result. A PDF in Bulgarian hosted on a website named aobg.org.

Sounds legit, right?

Its the official website for the Bulgarian Society of Anthroposophy. A 'new age spiritual movement based on German idealism'. A cult.

As soon as I made the connection, I knew that clicking the original link would lead me to something similar. I felt confident enough to click it safely (DO NOT TRY AT HOME), and was launched into the shittiest little pro Nazi website with a live chatroom on the side.

There are always signs, always queues. Do not be stupid out there. These are NOT ARGs. If you aren't sure, block and move on.

This fucking ad I keep getting. Anyone else getting this?

I got FIVE nested functions in excel working properly!

Four are IFs and one is an OR condition on an IF.

tumblr user 1: the suicidal passions of my youth have not been overcome, but replaced by something which now smolders
