Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games

They are piloting a Jaeger together in my imagination

#hate this. im in the shatterdome trying to coordinate my jaegers in the field fighting for the fate of humanity #and these two chuckleheads over here won’t stop doing bits on the open channel #they keep defeating kaiju with slapstick routines and its INFURIATING

yeah the worst part is it's actually working for them

I already knew, but it's nice to have a chart.

Well I didn’t know that chipotle was a raisin jalapeño

i was today years old when i found out "chipótle" was spanish for "jalapeños pepper raisen"

“Why is snoop dogg at the Olympics-“

WRONG QUESTION!

WHY ISNT MARTHA STEWART THERE WITH HIM?

she is! she’s joining him for the equestrian events because, and I am quoting her directly, “Snoop is afraid of horses.”

Update:

this is 100% real btw

This is so lovely and heartwarming that I almost didn't notice that Snoop's wearing knee high spats

EPILOGUE

He got to meet the horses!!

He even got to feed them carrots like he wanted to, even though he seems to be nervous! Such courage and valor! /Gen!

This is clearly the coolest day of that white guy's life. It's the coolest day of the horse's life. This is the coolest day of all of our lives. Mr Dogg, thank you for being who you are.

Can we just take a sec to also thank Mr. Snoop Dog for saying that he was scared to do something and called a friend to help him. And then did the scary thing. I think that admitting you’re scared of something takes courage and inner strength.

The spats Snoop has on are actually an alternate to equestrian tall boots called half-chaps(as opposed to the iconic assless full chaps, like cowboys wear)! This is probably because he wanted to wear his own kicks to the equestrian event and half chaps are the closest you can get to tall boots without actually wearing tall boots(which are NOT fun to walk around in if they are dressage intended they are stiff as hell around the ankle)

Why can't we ever use bullshit bioessentialism for fun things

I'll start

When someone starts transfemme transfeminine HRT, they're warned that the breast growth is one of the few irreversible steps, and that it would need surgery to undo.

When someone starts transmasculine HRT, they're told that it won't get rid of their breasts, and that they need surgery to remove.

The standard societal conception of "androgynous" is a waifish, thin, flat chested individual

However, the inability of core gene regulation to reduce boobs, as demonstrated by HRT of many forms, shows that boobs are the natural inclination of the human body

Therefore, I motion that "androgynous" should mean someone with some real honkers. I'm talking some massive badonkers. Some enormous honkalagoogas. Some incredible and vast hadookalabohkadookies

(please don't take this seriously I'm actually studying bio and anyone trying to say something about the "natural" state of things is full of shit okay bye)

I'm a published research scientist you have to believe me

I'm in favour of this. We are mammals. What's a mammal without mammaries?

By the same token, beards require lasers to remove (and are mighty stubborn about it too), but male pattern baldness tends to get at least somewhat reversed by estrogen treatment. So our natural androgynous state is a full head of hair, beard, and breasts.

Other things of note are voice and hips.

So peak androgyny, by this same logic, is massive tits, a packin' ass, luscious hair all over the head, and a deep voice.

[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.
