I don't think "having sex" is important. What's important is arachnid locomotion is controlled by a system of hydraulic compression

Where is Herbert Hoover when you need him?

I don’t really know what Herbert Hoover would have done about pants sizes but considering his terrible response to the Great Depression and his support for mass deportation of Mexican-Americans I think he should stay dead.

Now now, just a little joke about his expansion of the Bureau of Standards, which is why we have things like interoperable screws, no need to shit your pants about it.

imagine being a condescending asshole to a stranger on the internet who had no idea this was even a thing instead of just saying "oh i was referring to this thing". picrew icon strikes again

Funniest part is that they blocked me lol.

let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification

Wild that there are people upset over Nolan's Helen casting, given that he was legally obligated to cast Lupita Nyong'o since she is factually the most beautiful woman in the world

When I was in highschool back in 2018, all the graduating seniors got a poll to fill out for various preferences on our graduation. The only thing I actually remember from it, though, was the different options for what song would be played at the ceremony. When I saw halfway down the list that "All Star" by Smashmouth was an option, I knew that whatever I chose would be a pointless vote (this was peak Shrek meme era). So of course I went with the herd and chose the Shrek song. When graduation rolled around, everyone was giggling about it, waiting for it to be played as we all walked down to grab our diplomas or whatever. However, that is not what occurred. God, they could have not done it worse. I shit you not, I absolutely fucking shit you not when I say this. I swear on my mother's and first born's life that they brought out the poor, poor fucking choir kids to fucking acapella (badly because that choir teacher had a hard on for opera) All Star. Oh my god. I still don't even know what to say

The best thing about this is how much love for Rothko there is in it. Like... here. Here is a rectangle, and if you stand far away it's just two or three colors a bit streaky, and the closer you get the more it opens up until it swallows you whole with the idea of how vast it is, how much bigger than you. If someone framed the real-life sea and sky and told everybody that's what my artwork was like to them I'd kiss them

Phob really majored in Big Dick Energy while in France.
