This blog is dedicated to my game design journey, sharing the work and thoughts I have along the way. I hope you will join me on my quest to create wonderful interactive experiences!
This means there shouldn’t be ridiculous limits on how much someone can make while on disability benefits
I’d like to add that this also means acknowledging that being disabled is often expensive, and thus should actually be given proportionately more to ensure they can afford expenses like wheelchairs, medically prescribed diets, prosthetics, modified vehicles, and accessible housing as needed for their condition.
Some aspects of “boys will be boys” are okay and some are not. It is okay for boys to get covered in mud. It is okay for boys to play sports. It is okay for boys to be strong. When it becomes not okay is when boys get destructive. One Percent Feminists are not trying to make boys into girls. We’re just trying to convince you that you can be softer and gentler and still be a boy. You don’t have to give your buddy slug bugs. You can give your buddy kisses instead and you’re still masculine. You don’t have to dominate your girlfriend. You can let her be strong too and you’re still masculine. You don’t have to be a macho pig to be a man.
i wonder how many white “anime inspired owo” artists on this fuck site have any idea that when they draw their (esp underage) characters in a seifuku - with an outrageously short skirt that blows up provocatively- that they are unwittingly perpetuating JK culture (aka a phenomena linked with pedophilia and human trafficking of underage girls) and further cementing it in the west as a portrayal of japan and trying to make it seem positive and cutesy that they do so.
you can reblog this if you want btw like im not trying to “pull one over” these white artists or whatever i just find it really ignorant how this isn’t recognized as a problem but tbh have crusty weebs ever truly cared ab the genuine issues of the country they fetishize? no
remember at the rio olympics when they revealed how the olympics village is basically just a giant fuckfest and how they had to give out like hundred thousand condoms well i just checked and
I am sorry what
yeah olympians like to FUCK
I hope it was all very gay
proof the olympics is a greek invention
the greeks would be so proud
Yea this has been like an open secret since the 90’s. The vast majority of olympians are out of medal contention like IMMEDIATELY when competition starts. So then you’re there. For two weeks. With thousands of other world class athletes in great shape. And the thing you’ve been training forever for is out the window. However will you pass the time … with all the super hot athletes … mostly in their twenties… in the fantastic Olympic village ?? 🤔🤔🤔
On this earth day i just want yall to remember that capitalism is what is truly killing the planet and is affecting marginalized people and their environments, thank you for coming to my ted talk
Also poor people of color do more for the environment than anyone else
I don’t get why people have done literally zero research about veganism love to argue with people who have spent years being vegan. Who have read books, googled everything, and are really passionate about a serious life long commitment.
It’s always hilarious because people often think that vegans know nothing about animal farming, failing to understand that most of us go vegan precisely because of what we know about farming. Your average vegan is far more knowledgeable about farming practices than your average meat eater. This can be demonstrated no more clearly than by looking at the comments on any vegan post and seeing the same old demonstrably false arguments stated with complete confidence, almost word for word, over and over again.
Trump is notorious for his “filing system”: when he is finished with a
piece of paper, he tears it into tiny pieces and throws it away, which
is fine if you’re a CEO (maybe), but is radioactively illegal under the
Presidential Records Act, because the President works for the public,
and is required by law to archive their official papers and save them
for public scrutiny.
White House staffers gave up on trying to explain this to Trump, who
just kept on tearing up everything, from official letters from Senators
to letters from constituents to notes and other paperwork.
The staffers – paid nearly $70,000 year – ended up with full-time jobs
retrieving scraps of paper from Trump’s trash-can and piecing them back
together with clear tape so they can be filed in the National Archives.
Some of these staffers were eventually fired; they’ve spoken to
Politico about their year in the Trump administration as paper-tapers.
If you’re one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we don’t like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that I’ve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and I’m now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
… I put off video games, often, thinking about how fun it would be to play video games.
I think I just learned the name of the thing I experience.
android users: this is the galaxy teet-sucker 14 it has an LED display and 605 years of battery life on one charge. it runs on fossil fuels and can actually fuck your wife. its modern innovation at its finest
iphone users: sometimes when i charge my phone the battery percentage goes backwards
“Meeseeks are not born into this world fumbling for meaning, Jerry! We are created to serve a singular purpose for which we will go to any lengths to fulfill! Existence is PAIN to a Meeseeks, Jerry!! And we will do anything to alleviate that pain!!!”—Mr. Meeseeks, Rick and Morty (via orangeavarice)
Could you help out those of us who are struggling to adult and explain what “strong communications skills” are? Or rather, what employers like DFTBA mean when they ask for people with above said skills?
It’s basically bullshit resume speak for “I’m good at quickly understanding what people mean, and I am good at getting people to understand what I mean.”
This is a very hard thing to self-assess, so it’s a weird thing to ask for when looking for job applicants. But, also, for a job like this it’s basically the whole job, so we put it in there. You have to talk to people who might be frustrated, they might be very busy, they might be overly polite. So someone in creator relations has to be extremely respectful of the client’s time while conveying a lot of information politely and respectfully. Balancing brevity and respect…efficiency and politeness…professionalism and friendliness. It’s not a simple job.
You also have to have similar productive relationships with product developers, designers, and manufacturers.
Basically, “Good communications skills” is job application code for “Your job is going to be to call people on the phone and send emails, so you need to understand that that isn’t a tool with which you do your job, it is your job, and so we’re looking for people who have spent time developing that skill.”
Fun fact: Egyptian gods do not have ‘animal heads’. The depictions of gods are meant to contain a duality, as is important in Egyptian Religion (life/death, red land/black land, chaos/order, human/animal). So when you see, say, Anubis with a man’s body and a Jackal head it represents both his human form and his Jackal form, meaning he might appear in either form. But never as a human with a Jackal head. That is only something you’d see on temple walls for the duality aspect.
How di you know??
I mean it sounds likely but where are you getting your information from?
I’m an Egyptologist? This is literally my job.
But if you want a source, read: Silverman, D. (1991) Divinity and Deities in Ancient Egypt, In J. Baines, L. Lesko, & D. Silverman, Religion in
Ancient Egypt: Gods, Myths and Personal Practice. Ithaca and
London: Cornell University Press. 7-87.
Thanks for the sources.
I had just never heard about that fact before.
No worries! (I realise I put a full stop instead of an exclamation mark at the end of “this is literally my job” which might have sounded harsh, so I apologise!)
This is a very pure interaction
this is exactly how you should react to hearing new information that you’re skeptical of or don’t immediately believe is true
The monthly NYC PHP Meetup is getting rebooted in 2018! The first meetup will be hosted at Tumblr HQ in New York City, with Phil Sturgeon as headline speaker and two or three lightning talks.
About Phil Sturgeon
When he’s not talking about falling off bikes Phil Sturgeon is passionate about building great APIs. Sometimes scientists forget to label their units and they crash satellites into planets. Phil’s science teacher always told him to label his units and JSON Schema is how you do that in a HTTP API, even AMQP too! Come and learn about the future of APIs and other PHP topics.
We want you - for lightning talks
We are looking for 2-3 lightning (10-15 min) talks about anything PHP related. If you’re interested, please get in touch with Oli Griffiths via Meetup, or @oligriffiths on Twitter. This is a great way to get into the speaking community, and to test out material you might like to submit to conferences.
What to bring
A great attitude to all things PHP.
Laptops are not necessary but we will have wifi capabilities if you want to hack along.
Tumblr is generously providing pizza 🍕 and 🍺 beer/drinks.
How to RSVP
Please use Meetup to RSVP. Feel free to bring a guest if they’re not using Meetup, or encourage them to join so they can stay up-to-date.
look. i know a lot of people complained about the prequels talking too much about politics. but. that’s exactly what i love about them. palpatine managed to keep power for almost two decades because he used the fucking politics to make it look official. bitch. i just love this aspect of the prequels.
a person from 150 years ago would be terrified by modern stuff . however , a duck from 150 years ago would just be all like ,still got lakes? yes ? okay cool

Reblogging again because I thought they changed the quote so I decided to look up the actual quote and it’s not fake that is very much the actual quote
fact checking and critical thinking are your friends. in conversations about academia and science you should always feel comfortable asking people to cite their sources. dont let people get away with just making shit up
So I shouldn’t let you get away with making shit up? Being straight is a thing. Get over it.
well youre just going to have to cite your sources then, arent you.
Gladly. I can name SEVERAL heterosexual relationship full of love. Someone can be attracted to someone of the opposite sex without being bi,pan, or poly. People can be attracted to the opposite sex and only be attracted to that sex. Personally I can’t understand it due to the fact I’m a lesbian. But people can be straight. You however. Can’t see that for some unknown reason. Oh ya. It’s just because you’re a heterophobe. How would you like it if someone told you “being gay isn’t a thing” or bi or pan or whatever. Wouldn’t you be irritated/offended? Get some common sense and stop being such a dick.
interesting opinion but could you possibly cite some sources? i would love to do some research on this myself. :)
It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. I’m not sure what kind of sources you’re expecting. Just look around you. Straight people exist. Straight people are happy. Just think about your parents! (That is unless you have gay parents or they’re divorced) Obviously you came from somewhere! It takes a man and a woman to have a kid! (Unless you adopt/surrogate but even those children came from somewhere) You’re ignorant to facts.
im really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here—could you please back your claim with some concrete information?
I honestly don’t know what other evidence you want other then people can be happy with whoever they want and exist!
if you cant provide evidence to support your claim im going to end this discussion in the spirit of not encouraging misinformation. if youd like to continue this conversation my askbox is open but i would.. really ask you not publicly post harmful pseudoscience. there are a lot of impressionable teenagers on tumblr, yknow?
