I need some crowdsourced ideas if you’d be up for it! What’s the funniest possible way to congratulate my friend who lives 7000km away on getting their long-awaited top surgery?

most murders are committed be people known to the victim, but next to zero murders are committed by men with meat hooks for fingers, so children are statistically safer around meat fingers than anyone else.

There's probably a name for this logical fallacy but I'm too tired to look it up right now.

Being into gardening has exposed me to a lot of things about how gardeners tend to be. Because most of them will go on weird tirades about how GMOs are the devil and will give your kids autism and then you look at their garden and youre like im gonna be honest man. Your garden could use some GMOs

This isn’t unique to Star Trek of course, but I do think it’s so funny how the normal amount of time it takes to respond to a comm or a hail from someone else is entirely dependent on whose perspective we’re seeing it from. If someone tries to use their combadge to contact someone else and they don’t respond within 2-3 seconds, that’s immediate cause for alarm. If, however, we’re watching a character who receives a communication from someone else, they’ll often finish up whatever they were doing before responding and no one will be alarmed at all. Or sometimes when our protagonist ship hails another ship, they’ll say “no response” approximately three seconds after sending out the hail. But if another ship hails them, they’ll often have a whole little debate before responding. Obviously this is necessary for pacing (who wants a twenty second pause of complete silence waiting for a response in the middle of a scene), but also it’s just one of those fun, charming things about Star Trek that makes no sense whatsoever.

also i think this has been figured out at this point but the whole "i miss queerbaiting" convo is like... the part of queerbaiting that ruled was because the show was usually putting forward two dudes, those two dudes got to have character arcs and motivations and writing behind both of them. they could both be interesting individually. because neither of them were shunted into 'disposable romantic interest' for each other.

but if a gay couple on tv is now supposed to be there, writers can fall for the m/f trap of 'only one of these characters needs to be fleshed out, the other is just here to explicitly be the love interest and maybe die later' except now they can both be dudes. it's not that queerbaiting was inherently better it's that unfortunately people have always been bad at understanding what makes fictional romance compelling, which is 'who the fuck are these people in the first place and why should i care'

"Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. Last week it was a Palestine pressure group, the week before that it was another band.

We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.

The government doesn't want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity? To ask why they aren't doing more to stop the killing? To feed the starving?

The more time they talk about Bob Vylan, the less time they spend answering for their criminal inaction.

We are being targeted for speaking up. We are not the first. We will not be the last. And if you care for the sanctity of human life and freedom of speech, we urge you to speak up, too."

STOP no more live-action remakes. We're going the other way now. Animated Casablanca. Animated The Godfather. Animated Oppenheimer. Animated Fight Club.
