abusive parent voice: its always in your best interest

this is a great summary of ‘conditional probability’, a statistical property many people grapple with 

…I feel like this post just made me realize that both coconut trees and vending machines, items often quoted in wacky death statistics, are both things that people shake vigorously often. 

Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world

People still don’t get the point of this post…….wild

i know i’m consistently shocked by the totally normal progression of time but i genuinely can’t believe it’s already 2018 i feel like 2014 was like six minutes ago… but also at the same time 2017 felt like it lasted 45 years so??? not sure what’s going on anymore 

ok but .. insulting someone’s laugh or smile is possibly.. the worst.. why would u try 2 make someone self conscious about the way they express their joy.. like ?

A depressed guy moves into a haunted house with 7 demons, each corresponding to a deadly sin. But, they’re all trying to help him get back on his feet; Pride helps with self confidence, Lust helps him get laid, etc.

I would watch the crap outta this like wow

Just imagine the Catholic Church making a statement regarding this new tv show.

This is the most hardcore sequel to Inside Out.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THE LORD’S WORK AND LEAKING THIS TO US. 

day 1348 the birds still think I am one of them

I’ll bet they took every puffin and covered it up with a porg.

Kylo Ren really is a great example for how sci fi/fantasy writers should tailor their worlds to fit the times, so it could resonate with the actual audience reading them. There would be no point in making a Hitler villain anymore, because we’re not afraid of Hitler, we’re afraid of the 25-year-old malcontented white boy who fondles Hitler memorabilia while sulking in his room.

I like the reading but a big part of me thinks that these weren’t intended. The Force Awakens came out in 2015, which means it was probably written in 2014, and frankly I don’t think Disney execs (and probably the writers) were aware of the growing threat until 2017.

The script writers for The Force Awakens are Jewish, and wrote the script in a way that really reflected Jewish views of the Nazis as opposed to normative Gentile American views, and which drew heavily on the Jewish collective memories of the Holocaust, something I discuss at length here: [Link]. The Jewish community has in fact been very aware of the rising tide of explicit white supremacy on the Right for a long time, and like many other minority communities, we were (and are) afraid and not exactly quiet about it. The only people who were really taken unawares were white gentiles, something the writers were not. I think it’s almost insulting to suggest that Jewish people writing topical Nazi and neo-Nazi coded villains is somehow unintentional.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition - Sad Puppies nominated a Vox Day book for the Hugo Awards in 2014.  Bannon was expanding Breitbart in 2014.  There were noticeable things happening in 2014.  The “growing threat” was generally visible at that point in time.

“You know mistletoe is important to Druids but do you know why people kiss under the mistletoe? It’s a Norse myth. Baldur the son of Odin was the most beloved by the other gods. So much that they wanted to protect him from all the dangers in the world. His mother, Frigg, took an oath from fire and water, metal, stone and every living thing, that they would never hurt Baldur. At a gathering, they tested him. Stones, arrows and flame were all hurled at him. Nothing worked. But there was one god that wasn’t so enamored of Baldur, the god of mischief, Loki. Loki discovered that Frigg had forgotten to ask mistletoe, a tiny, seemingly harmless plant and completely overlooked. Loki fashioned a dart out of mistletoe and it killed Baldur. Frigg was heartbroken. She decreed that mistletoe would never again be used as a weapon and that she would place a kiss on anyone who passed under it. So now we hang mistletoe underneath our door during the holidays so that we will never overlook it again.”

Reblogging again because SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT WHERE SANTA CAME FROM AND WHY HE HAS EIGHT REINDEER DO IT. 

@systlin why?
