Me too. Seriously I know this website is like this sometimes but man do they need to lighten up about some stuff.
Comparing the cleavland prank to rape is like comparing thomas sanders to sam pepper. One is a harmless prank that actually does not effect anyone and the other is rape.
Because smartphones would resist the rigours of falling into the North Atlantic, apparently
one of those people survive and sell their footage to media for shitloads of money, that’s just good business. maybe if some of yall old fucks had the internet you could have googled how to make a boat that doesn’t fuckin sink
You know what I fucking love about this fucking picture? When I was a kid I was fucking obsessed with the Titanic. I am talking borderline autistic special interest levels of fucking obsessed. AND I JUST SO HAPPEN to still have my first edition copy of A Night To Remember by Walter Lord.
In this book is a small section of photographs and whatnot to do with the Titanic. And there is one particularly fucking relevant one that I have taken the liberty of snapping for you all:
This man, Leo Hyland, sat in a lifeboat and watched as the ship went down. He did this sketch because he wanted to capture that moment in an image so people would understand what happened. So that they can see what he saw in that moment. It is a most fundamental form of human goodness to wish to share our experiences and our feelings with others and to connect with them. It is no less noble to document your life through a smartphone than it is through a sketchpad. If you’re on a boat that fucking sinks and you survive? Show me your pictures to show you were there and you survived to tell your story.
Fuck these preening, pseudo-intellectual ballbags that say otherwise, because they quite clearly don’t have a fucking clue what they’re talking about other than trying to express the stance that they think they’re better than other people because they don’t have a facebook and have literally fuck all to say or show about their lives other than an inflated sense of self-importance and worth.
Wait wait wait. Back up.
You mean to tell me that there was a gent by the name of Leo that survived the Titanic? Leo… that happened to be an artist?…….
If the creator is not okay with you roleplaying their characters, cease immediately and find another character to roleplay. It’s really not that hard. You shouldn’t feel entitled to do what you wish with a character you didn’t even make, and you shouldn’t feel attacked for being told to stop. This also goes for real people. If the person you are roleplaying says they are not okay with it or openly state that they would not like people roleplaying them, then stop.
My boss called me “Tyrone” on accident (My name is Tyrand). She apologized and bought me lunch to make up for it. I didn’t think twice about it, since I’m used to getting called every variant of “Ty-(fill in blank here)”. Then later on I read a quote she keeps in her work area that made me feel kinda special.
“During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say ‘Hello’.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.“
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
