Matching booty shorts that say *please don't try this for real, even scent free, dye free lotions are not safe for cats to lick. Most people keep their binguses moisturized using a little coconut oil in the bath but personally my cats skin reacts badly to it so hemp oil is my go to now

oh no they’re going to start calling democrats the same thing they’ve been calling democrats for 20 years now

"Here’s a trick I learned during the Obama presidency for handling certain types of political labels. Take, as an example, the Tea Party claim that Obama is a Communist. Don’t take the word of the person making the claim (Tea Partiers). Don’t rely on the rebuttal of the target (Obama), because that will just be dismissed. Go to the group itself (Communists) and ask them. Ask an actual Communist if Obama is a comrade and see how they answer. Watch as they laugh at you, then explain in great detail how they wish there was a Communist in the White House, but here’s a long and exhaustive list of why that just isn’t so. Now apply this logic to the claim that Hillary is pretty much the same as a Republican. Ask an actual Republican if they think Hillary Clinton is one of them. Watch them laugh, and then explain in the same exhausting detail why that just isn’t so. Some of them might concede that she’s better than Trump, but that’s not the same thing. Finally, go ask a White Supremacist if Trump is one of them. As they excitedly explain how Trump is the guy they’ve been waiting for all these years, and how he’s really empowered their movement, use this to guide how you will be voting in November."

saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

Dude, I wouldn't even fucking notice until I go to Google something and the search actually works again.

Heyo! Just wanted to say that, as someone who's been around smokers my whole life and who's also struggled with gambling, this is addiction talk.

I'm not saying that as a riff on this guy posting, either! This is not an insult. This is a heads up about a genuine red flag.

If you cannot imagine yourself getting through even a single workday without your coping mechanism, you are struggling with addiction.

If you cannot imagine ANYONE ELSE ever getting through a single workday without also using your coping mechanism, you are severely struggling with addiction.

That's one of the more heinous parts of AI. Yes, it destroys the planet. Yes, it results in jacked up RAM prices and loud data centers cropping up like weeds in neighborhoods. But it is also literally addictive to use if you're stressed out by work and seeking an easy source of dopamine, reassurance, and companionship.

THAT is the real concern with this post.

If you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and never have been, you most likely don't know more about the church than someone who is or who grew up in the church.

I don't care if you have a "mormonism hyperfixation" and you've watched all of Alyssa Grenfell's YouTube videos and stalked the exmo subreddit. Internet rabbit holes don't trump real lived experiences.

Fun fact, the 9 to 5 was something that workers FOUGHT FOR because before the standard was literally "yeah you work 12+ hours 6 days a week in the death factory that kills you".

A very famous slogan among union organizers and such was "8 hours of work 8 of rest, 8 to do as we please". If you look into it this is also why certain sleep scientists are so insistent that 8 hours is enough sleep, because that's the amount most 9 to 5 workers get.

The problem is 8 hours of constant work is still way too much for the human body and it slowly hollows you out from the inside. You can often work more if the work is fulfilling and you aren't alienated from the products of your labor, but in a modern industrialized society that is almost never the case and working much more than 8 regularly will still shred your mind.

Workers fought for the 9-5, we can fight for the 11-3.

they're trying to build a data center in my city

tumblrstake what's the most Mormon way I can oppose this

what quotes/stories/concepts could I use in a persuasive letter against it

starmin-marmin

Sneak into the job site in the dead of night and bury whatever they’ve done each day

starmin-marmin

I’ve just read the other comments on this post and am realizing you may have been asking for a more serious answer.

brothermouse

So I probably shouldn't suggest sneaking into the job site in the dead of night not knowing whithersoever to go, but trusting the Lord to provide and then finding the data center CEO lying on the ground in a drunken stupor with his sword at his side.........

To all my mutuals - especially the ones I used to talk to but haven't in a while - just know I'm a little bit in love with you forever and when I see you in my notes or on my dash I smile fondly and hope you're doing okay

I mean, I had to draw this, right?

hiseyeisonthesparrow

i come across a lot of people who claim to be "obsessed with mormonism" (or, heaven forbid, claim to have a 'special interest' or 'hyperfixation' about Mormons) and about 1% of these people actually have genuine interests in the religion and history and theology, but the other 99% just watch a lot of secret lives and alyssa grenfell and the book of mormon musical, and actually don't even know what scriptures we use or what we believe in (and yet still claim to know more than i do about "the Truth about Joseph Smith") which i think speaks to just how often people hyperbolize their interests and knowledge in something

hiseyeisonthesparrow

and i know that when i say this, i just sound like an old man complaining about 'posers' and 'larpers'. but what separates someone who pretends to know everything about Mormonism from someone who does so with something else is this: an interest in Mormonism is almost exclusively an interest in mocking, criticizing, and alienating Mormons. it's rarely "wow this is such an interesting phenomenon", but mostly "wow these people are so weird and evil". an interest rooted in scorn and hatred is not an interest. it's simply a way for them to feel superior

brothermouse

It's an example of cultural appropriation, where someone is enamored with a group's culture or aesthetics and embraces it but rejects the actual people themselves.

Book of Mormon musical fans are some of the worst offenders because they fetishize our missionaries (TEENAGE VOLUNTEERS), but would never dream of setting foot in a sacrament meeting, and that's if they even believe we're real.

But nooooooo, you can't cultural appropriate Mormons because they're too white and Christian, nevermind that historically both of those groups have rejected us, with mainstream Christians still calling us heretics and heathens in the big '26. Nevermind that that view erases the contributions and struggles of people like Jane Manning James, Elijah Abel, and the Genesis Group, to name a few.

But please, by all means, keep drawing your shitty fan art of my friends and family. You are, of course, the expert here because you *checks note* super love the pretend gay Mormons you saw on stage once. That surely gives you greater knowledge than the actual real life queer Mormond of the world.

Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” that was written in 1950 is set on the day of August 4th, 2026 (tomorrow)!! Now’s your chance to read it around the time it’s based in!

Audio: A recording of Leonard Nimoy reading it on Internet Archive.

Text: A PDF version.

Graphic Novel: On Internet Archive.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

regionalpancake

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

It's cases like this that make me wonder if I'm right in my beliefs, or if I'm being a whiny bitch

So, to catch you up, I'm in the EQ Presidency, and I'm covering for the President & First Councilor because they had kids (yes, round of applause 👏👏👏). So, I've known I've had to pick up some slack for them for quite a while at this point, and I was fine with that

But, Sunday, I get a Message. A new brother in the Ward needs Assistance. I haven't been trained to handle Welfare Situations. It's absolutely last minute. So, I message Bishop, explaining the situation. I hear nothing back (still haven't). This brother is texting me a bunch over the past couple of days, while I'm trying to figure out how to do Welfare Stuff on my own (my wife told me to talk to the other Presidency Members about it, so I will at our Zoom Meeting), while I'm waiting for Bishop, while I'm obsessing about the outcomes of not being able to help

On the one hand, I'm just an autistic college student, who's having a full blown panic attack at the thought of not being able to do anything for one person

But on the other, I've always been the responsible one, the trustworthy one, the one who does everything in his power to accomplish a goal. So, what's more responsibility. I've never let any of that stop me before

Maybe I am too sensitive. I've been in this calling for a year. The thought of working with the Missionaries sends me into a panic. I've had a number of panic attacks & even an increase in thoughts of self harm & suicidal ideation since I accepted it (I am lucky to have an amazing therapist & support net to get me through it though). It's gotten so bad that I just don't go to Church when I don't have to (a series of events left me as the EQ Teacher, the only thing I do that leaves me feeling calm & satisfied, instead of wanting to crawl out of my skin)

But what recourse do I have? I've been through the Temple, I've covenanted to live the Law of Consecration (to consecrate all things to the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth). And we have Apostles & Prophets saying it is wrong to ask to be released

I can't even Magnify my Calling (as I am called to do in the Oath & Covenant of the Priesthood), because doing the basics is wearing me down. Wearing me down to the point where it's pushing me away from the Church
