“Why are you scared of dating” I’m not scared of dating, I just haven’t found anyone’s company to be more enjoyable than my own. And also I don’t care
I just don't want anyone to steal my very cursed amulet
Also the amulet
Is that you talking? Or the amulet? Are you SURE a new hand doesn't want to touch the beacon?
The amulet and I are not currently looking for a third
I saw this perfectly in my head and had to recreate it
Holy Shit

United Airlines Flight 232 was a regularly scheduled United Airlines flight from Stapleton International Airport in Denver to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, continuing to Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia, United States. On July 19, 1989, the DC-10 (registered as N1819U) serving the flight crash-landed at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa, after suffering a catastrophic failure of its tail-mounted engine due to an unnoticed manufacturing defect in the engine's fan disk, which resulted in the loss of all flight controls. Of the 296 passengers and crew on board, 112 died during the accident,[a][3][4] while 184 people survived. Thirteen passengers were uninjured. It was the deadliest single-aircraft accident in the history of United Airlines.[b][5][6] Despite the fatalities, the accident is considered a good example of successful crew resource management, a new concept at the time. Contributing to the outcome was the crew's decision to recruit the assistance of a company check pilot, on board as a passenger, to assist controlling the aircraft and troubleshooting of the problem the crew was facing.[1]: 76 A majority of those aboard survived; experienced test pilots in simulators were unable to reproduce a survivable landing. It has been termed "The Impossible Landing" as it is considered one of the most impressive landings ever performed in the history of aviation.[7][8][3]
On the 19th of July 1989, a United Airlines DC-10 bound for Chicago was rocked by a massive explosion…

I was reading a really long essay recently about the sheer incomprehensible scale of violence that happened during World War II, and among other things, it reminded me that this isn’t the worst time to be alive for the general human population. I can very much picture people during WWII thinking it was the end of days, and for millions of people, it was. Up to 60-75 million people died during WWII, and that doesn’t count those who survived injuries, starvation, occupation, bombings, etc. Millions upon millions of people killed or mentally fucked up for the rest of their lives, and this was after the first World War! Imagine the psychological toll of going through two world wars. None of us really can, nor can we comprehend that body count. WWII was so bad that, just in terms of numbers regarding the death count, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a drop in the bucket. Even the Holocaust didn't make up the majority of the death count, despite killing an insanely high amount of people at an insanely fast pace. It's hard to quantify the worst events in human history, but WWII has to be up there.
Obviously, a shit ton of scholarship has been written on the long-term effects of WWII both on individual societies and the world as a whole, so it's not like the war ended and then everything was fine and dandy, but the fact that human society continued to exist after that at all, and even thrive in some cases, is insane. It's just something to keep in mind as you're inundated with a constant stream of "nothing will ever get better" posts from people clinical depression posting on main. Things were so, so, so much worse not even 100 years ago.
The thing that I keep coming back to as regards WWI and WWII is that not only are they mostly (Flawed) democracies going head to head with (Worse) and aggressive authoritarian forces and winning, you can see authoritarians cynically boosting more authoritarianism to prolong the war with drastic down-the road effects. And EVEN THEN the less bad guys won because it turns out liberal democracies are pretty damn good at training, supply chains, and industrial production vs having "the Warrior spirit" and getting really into autarky and warlord style looting in the 19fucking 40s. (Germany allowing Lenin back into Russia in the hopes he'd take it out of the war. THAT SURE WORKED WELL) It's that in a lot of ways they're a single conflict separated by a generation to enable another tranche of draftees and soldiers to be born. This isn't to say there weren't other causes or that WWII was ABSOLUTELY inevitable... but World War I didn't 'end' in 1919. A bunch of shit wasn't solved.
If the US Civil War and Franco Prussian war are 'previews' of industrial war... the end of WWI looks a LOT like what the early part of WWII looked like. Tactical and strategic air power, tanks, mechanized forces, aerial resupply, coordinated mixed-arms offensives... And the kind of populism and bigotry that drove WWII fascism and imperialism was birthed before WWI and during WWI as well. (the political technology is worth paying attention to as well)
The Great War channel is reasonable pop history that goes in depth, and the creators did another entire channel discussing the wars between the wars. (all kinds of shit around the world that just kept on going) It's worth a watch and has some great cultural and political content. It's not just "MUH DAD WAR STUFF"
The Great War covers the era of the First World War from its causes and origins to its violent aftermath. Jesse Alexander covers the importa
This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.
Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.
And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.
They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."
I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.
So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

National Trails Day falls on a time of the year when snow is still melting from Mount Rainier’s subalpine meadows. The meadows may look muddy and bare, but soon they will be bursting with wildflowers. It's extremely important to stay on maintained trails when they are visible, walk on snow when necessary, and cross streams at appropriate locations to avoid damaging young meadow plants just starting to grow.
It takes very few people walking off-trail in the same area to compact soil enough that flowers and other plants will not grow. Because of the short growing season, some areas may not recover without intensive restoration.
Look for snow-free trails around Longmire, White River, and Westside Road, but remember if you follow trails to higher elevations, you may encounter snow.
During your visit, please pay close attention to where you travel, stay on trails, and respectfully encourage others to do the same.

Leopard print is a neutral
I clearly remember being 12 or so and looking at other girls’ moms at the country club and then turning to my mom and going, “Im so glad you don’t wear leopard print. I could never wear leopard print. Leopard print is only for trashy wine moms desperate to evidence of gravity’s impact on their body through the use of disruptive camouflage.”
And now I’m like
they killed him for this
