i love how you used to be able to just say whatever you wanted
This is why I fucking love when weirdo reactionary guys romanticize Ancient Rome as the zenith of logic and reason, because in reality you had academics like Pliny the Elder going around saying wild shit like "Period blood fumes will kill crops and drive nearby dogs to madness" and if you asked for a source, they'd go "Some random travelling merchant I met in Damascus with a trustworthy countenance said so"
Yeah some ancient philosophers speculating on physical science could make some wild-ass guesses
I love you guys but I think a lot of you are the kind of people who are susceptible to falling in with a cult.
Youāre right. We should all band together under a trustworthy and influential leader who can keep us safe from outside threats
I remember someone saying āwhen I die, plant catnip on my grave. I want to be visited by lots and lots of catsā and that changes the way I see my own future death entirely

About ten years ago I decided that the next step I needed to take in my life was to accept and explore what it meant to be a failure and to have failed. This infuriated almost everybody in my life and clearly terrified a lot of people. People do not want you to accept failure. They dont want you to like... Sit with and think about it and pick it up and turn it arpund in your hands and really examine it. They want you to keep throwing yourself against the impossible walls until your body explodes! They do not want you to say "alright then, I've failed. What does that mean for me? Im still here. What does the life of someone who has failed look like?"
This makes people very angry and panicky.
My mental health improved in ways it had not in the previous DECADE once I stopped. And. Sat. With failure. And thought about what my failure ... Was. And looked at the structures that produced it and examined them critically.
It is so taboo to fail and admit it openly and talk about it. It is so taboo to talk about or think about failure in an accepting way rather than hiding it shamefully until you experience a degree of success in some area which allows you to present the past failure as "a stepping stone" to your current situation. Fuck that. We are put in positions of guaranteed failure by society every day and then punished and shamed for it. Lets fucking talk about failure
well my phone screen is busted so I can't log into uhhhhh anything ever again. death to 2FA.
"confirm it's you via text" I cant.
"paste the code we sent you via whatsapp" I can't.
"scan this QR code" I can't.
"type in the number shown on your device" I can't.
"have us call you instead" I can't.
"to connect to your own pc on your own home network via physical usb cable, tap Confirm on your phone" WHY DO YOU THINK I'M HERE
I tried to order a usb-c to hdmi connector via a site that turned out to be an amazon storefront, and amazon instantly locked me out and said if I can't verify my account via text I have to send them my passport
got so pissed once about this happening i discovered google has 'backup codes' hidden in ur privacy settings that you can generate and physically hold on to in order to authenticate yourself without any other bullshit. they really try to hide it away but it has saved my ass on several occasions when i wanted to use find my phone and it asked for a code. from my phone. to log in.
A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.
Fourth circle needed: IT workers
You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.
i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"
"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?
Putting my neck out for you folks here
3 apples tall.. hopefully nothing will happen to them

do not try contacting me i have blocked you on my crystal ball
thanks to compilation efforts, three posts regarding the gneep gnorp population are able to be read together in a single post, and they are now the most documented species out of all creatures on earth
it would suck being a new immortal. like itād be 2109 and people would go,Ā āwhat was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?ā and iād just be like,Ā ānoā¦no i was born in 1991. so like, wow iām gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean iām not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. donāt think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.ā
even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff.Ā āWhat was it like seeing the pyramids being built?ā āFuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.ā āOh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?ā āI fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.ā
And now, a lesson in biases:
We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We donāt even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.
Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a āprecursorā ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascarās current population.
The point is, we do not know.
So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascarās human history?
Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone elseās pet Major Event.
Itās been a decade since we left that comment and you have the best reply anyoneās left to it.
you make one fucking post where the point is āwomen are encouraged to develop disordered eating from a very young age and that impacts how we view the ānaturalā size and shape of womenā and too many reblogs later i am being accused of saying short people wouldnāt exist if they ate better growing up. iām sorry but if you genuinely think i was saying that you are just a buffoon. i cannot and will not sanction your buffoonery.
Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think itās worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of oneās lungs
People in my notes who think Iām repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It
Ok but How Do I Do That

There are many techniques (also, there are drugs)
Thank you, but do you have any advice for teens?
So my FIRST piece of information if youāre still a teen is that genuinely as you get older it will get easier to regulate your emotions. During adolescence our brains are undergoing a lot of growth and change that genuinely does make it harder to do this, on a scientific level. However, practicing emotional regulation skills can still help a lot and if you can find something that works it will make life easier going forward

Sails
What are the most important things on a ship besides the hull and the men who operate it ? The sails.
The last surviving fore topsail from HMS Victory, 24m long and 16 m wide (x)
As already mentioned by the sailmaker, there were different thicknesses of sails that were used, but they were not made in one piece, but had to be sewn together from strips with an overlapping width of 61 cm. The corners were hemmed (this was called tabling) and roped and ringed to gain control of the sail when furled. To return to the thicknesses, these were made for the different weather situations. No. 1 was suitable for storms and weighed 20 kg, and that only for a strip of 35 m, while the lightest No. 6 weighed only 13 kg for the same length. Some of the sails also had double the thickness in places where they were particularly stressed, which increased the weight even more.
If you imagine that a 20-gun ship with a main topmast studding sail that needed about 129m of canvas needed No.1, it would weigh 75kg. If you now look at the Victory and look at her main topsail, which alone used 700m of canvas, this came to 270kg for No.6.
Handling these sails in the tops was back-breaking work and even worse when they were wet, they weighed twice as much. But they were no easy task for the sailmaker either, they had to be repaired constantly and all by hand, a small top sail of the Victory needed about 1,200 hours to be sewn. And the Victory had a set of 37 sails, which meant an area of 5,428mĀ², plus 23 in reserve.
i love this webbed site
