Remember if you’re out at a store and someone says “This is a robbery” you can say “no it’s not” and then the robber will leave because theyre a robber and this is no longer a robbery .
You can not just say this without dropping the whole story
Ok so,
My dads coworker is at the front and this man comes Up and hands him a document.
The coworker took a Look at the document and while he couldn’t read the things written by Hand, because he wasn’t wearing his glases, he did notice the Logo of a different Bank so he’s like:
“Oh, sorry sir you can’t do that here! You have to go to the other Bank for this :)”
The man, visibly confused leaves, but dosen’t take the document with him.
The coworker, now just as confused as the Guy actually Takes Out his glases and reads the hand written part:
every 24 years a famous basketball player is brutally kidnapped by cartoons and forced to fight in a vicious blood sport for entertainment. when will the cycle end. who will be the one to put a stop to this
Pride month reminder: Making fun of the Shatnez laws (the Jewish biblical prohibition of mixing wool and linen in the same garment) and using them as an example of why biblical homophobia is stupid is antisemitic. Many Jews still practice this and it’s not a “crazy weird thing!” It’s something Jews actually practice in real life and your ignorance is actively harmful when you’re punching down on Jewish practice lol please fuck off
I would encourage LGBT gentiles to reblog this
Hey at this point on this post I’ve had a death threat for being Jewish, harassment, and very nasty and persistent antisemitism. And I have been spending a lot of my time correcting ignorance and answering people’s questions in the notes of this post. I’ve been having some financial issues lately, just today got notified I have to pay about $100 in fees after moving out
And my insurance processing after processing recent medical tests is costing me like $275 in addition to like, other expenses like groceries. Anyways if you appreciate me here and want to help me out at my ko-fi, Venmo, or Cashapp:
I’m just going to level with you guys, I’m still behind on money for groceries I got the other day. Let alone this. Please help, especially if you appreciate my presence/taking the time to educate people with regard to this.
Honestly I still really need help with bills lol
I’ve just had some soul-crushing expenses I still really need help
Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.
But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron…
I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.
If they win a Sumo tournament they get a giant macaron.
just so people stop (hahahahah as if) asking me the same 3 or 4 things over and over again in tags/comments/my inbox
- no, normal people do not get sleepy when they drink caffeine????? people drink caffeine to wake themselves up / keep them awake. monster etc are called energy drinks. people. please. come on.
- no, normal people do not get heart palpitations/the shakes/headaches/nausea (physical effects that can resemble anxiety/panic attack) from caffeine. if vibrating straight into the shrimp dimension and coming back with a headache was normal, caffeinated beverages would not exactly be popular. you just have a low caffeine tolerance.
- yes, you can have adhd and a low tolerance for caffeine at the same time. caffeine tolerance is a liver metabolism issue. adhd is a brain abnormality. these things are unconnected and the end result is probably something like “i want to take a nap and am also vibrating”. uniquely shitty way to get nerfed though, sorry bro.
- unmedicated adhd people get sleepy/relaxed when we have caffeine bc adhd brains are understimulated and caffeine is a moderate stimulant that gets you to just-under-neutral aka “sleepy nap times” zone. if you consumed enough you’d eventually get there but it’s really not that powerful a stimulant and you’re starting half a lap behind everyone else.
- i cannot believe i have to say this but if you are taking adhd meds then yes obviously caffeine will work more-or-less as expected? you already solved the understimulation problem what did you think the medication was for. “i take adderall and caffeine gets me buzzed” is not a counter-argument to “people with adhd get sleepy on caffeine”. you did amphetamine and caffeine at the same time buddy. come on.
EXTREMELY concerned by the number of people unaware that caffeine is supposed to keep you awake given that it is quite famously the entire fucking point of it
call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. that’s a thing you can measure. that’s a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if it’s actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. don’t do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.
💅
Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? That’s fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.
this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman.
and black women have always been considered “manly” and less feminine.
also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the women’s comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why can’t they get the same prize money and when they’re competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.
the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.
The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who don’t look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. It’s why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.
Reminder that in international (and usually national too) womens athletics anybody with 5m/mol of natural testosterone or higher is disqualified. (See legal case of Dutee Chand vs IAAF.)
Do you or somebody you know have PCOS? You are banned from international womens athletics because you are supposedly in posession of an unreasonable advantage in sports.
Folks disqualified for hyper-androgenism in womens athletics.
Francine Niyonsaba
Caster Semenya
Dutee Chand
Margaret Wambui
And more
-
Why are those disqualified overwhelmingly black and brown? Because testing is case by case when an athletes performance “raises suspicions”. They overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.
Racism and intersexism(discrimination against intersex people) in sports is abject evil. Desegregate sports.
bringing this back in light of the blatant racism and misogynoir in the olympics
