I love Ramen noodles

hello welcome to post apocalyptic video game. this weapon you find is a gun made from plumbing and other garbage using no power tools. it was smashed together by a Raider (a discrete category of person, ontologically evil) while high on Drugs, and is an example of how stupid and primitive the people of The Wasteland are. it is fully automatic, has a rifled barrel, never jams, and has interchangeable magazines that are compatible with every other garbage gun made by other Raiders elsewhere in the world.

I think the types of oppression that are the most intense are the ones that apply to me personally. For some reason they're just so much more visceral and personally affecting than the ones that don't affect me, which all seem distant and abstract and not as big a deal. If you don't restructure your worldview around this I will decide you're part of the problem.

There are so many people that are pro disability rights until they find out disabilities can be gross sometimes. It's so wild seeing the same people advocating for more mental health talk losing their shit over a depressed person not brushing their teeth or cleaning their spaces, or people who totally support physically disabled people until they find out I once pissed in a cup because I was in too much agony to get out of my bed, or that sometimes cups and food sit in my room longer than they should because I physically can't get up to put them away. Disabled people sometimes have incontinence, disabled people sometimes have bad hygiene, and still deserve to be supported. It's so fucking performative and it pisses me off. Even other disabled people act like this. Shaming people for stuff they can't control doesn't help anyone, just makes you an insufferable person.

ewww you know thats a nazi symbol right ? (points to the usa flag)

i have never seen an animal moving this silly

My favorite thing is that Europe is spooky because it’s old and America is spooky because it’s big

“The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way.” –Earle Hitchner

English people trying to travel around Australia and wildly underestimating distance are my favourite thing

China is both old and big. I had some Chinese colleagues over; we were discussing whether they wanted to see the Vasa ship (hugely expensive war ship which sank on it’s maiden voyage after 12 min). They asked if it was old, I said “not THAT old” (bearing in mind they were Chinese) “it’s from the 1500s.” To my surprise they still looked impressed, nodding enthusiatically. Then I realised I’d forgotten something: “…I mean it’s from the 1500s AFTER the birth of Christ” and they went “oh, AFTER…”.

My dad’s favorite quote from various tours in Italy was “Pay no attention to the tower – it was a [scornful tone] tenth century addition.”

My last boss was Chinese, and she said when her parents came to visit her from Beijing they pronounced Chicago “A very nice village.”

RT only for the last post. 

There’s history older than colonialism that is ignored by those who don’t dare to face it.

And Indigenous Australians are one of the longest surviving cultures in the world, with one mob having dreaming stories about a volcano that erupted 30,000 years ago in Victoria, and paintings that carbon date to 80,000 years ago up in the Northern Territory, and song lines following rivers that have since been eroded into the ocean by time; an almost unfathomably long unbroken chain of oral history, leading up to, and past the start of the blip that is the colonial history of Australia.

im really big on how focused the earlier witcher novels are on the maintenance of equipment. not from a logisticial perspective its just something you have to spend a lot of time doing and its nice to see that time represented in fiction.

liking the witcher series is fucked because its just a worse version of the asoiaf problem and theres no way to differentiate that you're talking about the books apart from like. switching to polish.
