That's just because men cis straight men haven't discovered AO3 yet. People are saving Spiderman, Goku, their elf boyfriend, etc over there. You can just write "SAR Draft" as a y/n fic. Nobody will stop you.

it’s just so sad how the burden of imagining themselves doing purely hypothetical fantasy violence weighs so heavily upon certain men that they’re depleted of the energy needed to make dinner

I think a certain kind of man feels an immense burden of how they would, theoretically, if the situation ever arose, become a self-sacrificing action hero to rescue a loved from from a Taken-style kidnapping. That immense burden tends to mean they're unable to do the laundry or change a diaper tho

It's really important to analyze your chess games, especially your losses, so you can draw lessons from them. For instance, after careful consideration, I think it was a bad idea to sacrifice my queen in exchange for absolutely nothing and I should maybe do that less.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

Posting may not be praxis, but sharing that one person's posts is.

I had an enameled cast iron pan that I was soaking once. And a woman I brought home almost left until I showed it was enameled. People have strong feelings about cast iron care.

I just started listening to @probsnotaliens.bsky.social and as far as I can tell, ancient astronaut theorists have two arguments: "Stone big. How move?" and "How line on ground point at sun/star? Humans no look up before telescopes."

my hot take is i think aliens are probably real but not at all fuckable

This is the most baffling racist discourse from the outside. What do you mean you're upset about "small boats"?!?!

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

Voting is a collective action problem. To make it more likely that people will vote, you need to reduce the net cost of voting. A candidate you have to hold your nose to vote for raises the cost. A candidate people are excited about lowers the cost of voting.

I’m sorry but this is an absolutely insane conclusion for the authors to draw given what they actually did

You have been deemed correct but annoying. Blocked.

legolas hitting on a chick: so you have my number. gimli, out of nowhere: AND MY AXE

How many of those are data centers actually being built vs plans and options though?

Some day, when I am much older, I will do what I do today: walk around the house with a short in the background and scroll when I return to my phone. Except I'll fall and be unable to stand up and for the next 36 hours, I will be listening to the same terrible joke over and over again.

Aarp is a terrorist organization its time for the elderly to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps

I never got the Wesley hatred. Weren't you all weird annoying kids who wanted to hang out with the adults and got disappointed when they only wanted to do kids stuff with you? No? Just me? Ok then...

Gm: Ok, you asked your one question. The guard disappears and you now have to choose which tunnel you go down. Everyone stares at Barbarian.

Your rent can go up in a way that your mortgage cannot. This takes up some of your available income over time. You have less control over the amenities when renting so they are less well matched to you and therefore less valuable.

The switching back and forth between the "original public meaning" and the founders' subjective understanding of the constitution drives me insane. There are some arguments for both, but they preclude each other.

I keep hearing people say that Democrats can't push away A or B or C but I never hear them say "A needs to include trans people; have we considered NOT selling them out?" or "B is the peaceniks, so let's go for that?" It's always group C, Liz Cheney voters, and Liz Cheney lost her election.

"I don't know why I'm being charged. The cop I was chatting with told me he thinks drugs are super cool and he really admires me for sticking it to the man."

I can’t be mad at this, it’s genuinely funny that they called a physics professor to ask about it

I think I kind of accidentally stole someone's cat...

All About Loveseats is next

That feeling when you read a midnight text because you're worried it might be an emergency and you were right.

Maybe you should ask Andrew Wakefield what he thinks on the topic next.

Border enforcement is a crime against humanity and some day people the world over will talk about it in the same breath as chattel slavery and genocide. That's not my most woke opinion. Just my most correct opinion.

I'm concerned that this is very disrespectful to his wife. She has made it very clear we should all move on and forget about him.

Breaking: The lump of labor fallacy is still false.

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

okay real talk i support death of the author as a solution here

I still hate him.

Alcohol is integrated in dominant Western culture in a way gambling is not. Even if you don't drink, countless dishes you enjoy use alcohol as part of preparation. But gambling is a separate activity that could be carved out with little collateral damage.

[Aside: A fun exercise for students of physics is to work out the conserved quantity associated with boosts for a system that is Lorentz invariant. You should think about Galilean boosts (t,x) -> (t, x + v t) first and then move on to the relativistic case.] (12/n)

Emmy Noether was born #OTD in 1882. She made groundbreaking advances in abstract algebra, but is probably best known for her eponymous theorems articulating the deep connection between symmetries and conserved quantities in physics. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Public domain, photographer unknown

Making me come into the office is already bad enough. Making me wear clothes is abusive.

The prison where the man with the iron mask was held for a while.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

I have been ready for this for years because every night, while putting my son to bed, I whisper "Some day, the strait of Hormuz will be closed."

Out there, there is a very clueless very sweet guy who loves kids and has a van filled with candy that he is trying to give away to kids while they play with the puppies and kittens he brings everywhere and he's very confused.

just struck me that one thing that could help clarify arguments about what is and isn’t assault is if it was acknowledged that someone could have been sexually assaulted and not be particularly bothered by it

Early royal society ass experiment

I really lost a lot of respect for Snyder in the last few years. Posting idiotic stuff like this from Toronto.

Lol
