We’re getting pretty close to having adults who weren’t alive during 9/11, and we really need to admit at this point that the overemphasis on 9/11 in the US is just a propaganda machine to indoctrinate the younger generations into nationalism and to justify all the horrible war crimes the US committed in the Middle East, and the continued mistreatment and distrust towards refugees.
Millennials are Killing the Bed Frame Industry: Feminist Edition
Getting a $50 bed frame that gets your mattress off the floor will extend the life of your mattress. You sweat when you are sleeping and it seeps into the mattress. A lot of it evaporates from the surface, but some goes down in deeper. Over the years you could end up with mildew and rot at the bottom of your mattress. God forbid you have carpet under it, that would need replacing too. If your mattress has air flow under it, it will evaporate from both sides instead of mildewing.
I don’t think anyone ever told me why you get a mattress frame, that makes so much sense.
You guys, things happen in life because there has been a long history of events leading up to the invention of a product. If you’re ever in doubt about something, just Google the pros and cons.
alternatively
japanese style futons/shikibutons are cool for this bc they’re made to be moved and picked up after sleeping so the moisture and mold don’t build up. If you can lift up your western style mattress every day I’ll grant you can put that on the floor to because you can keep it clean and because I’m scared of how buff you must be
time to get fucking jacked, lads
i just always assumed that a bedframe is the product of capitalism with no utilitarian use
A late night interpretation of Jesus’ thoughts about rich people by Sensitive Mark.
While we’re at it, don’t forget that one time that Jesus saw predatory lending practices going down in the temple and he actually got violent.
Yes. Jesus got violent. Over predatory lending practices.
Throwing tables and threatening people with a whip. Jesus was super pissed.
And that part is consistent across all four of the Gospels. Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John vary in a lot of places, but they’re consistent on the money changers story.
Also, the paintings that this inspired are pretty rad.
99% of the time, Jesus was all “love thy neighbor” and “turn the other cheek” and “if someone asks you to walk a mile with them, walk two,” but where usury was concerned, he’d straight up kick your ass.
Jesus: “Be chill. We should all be chill. But also don’t lend money to people and charge them ridiculously high interest rates. Don’t do that. Especially not when people borrow money for the purpose of doing the right thing and making themselves better people. I really fucking hate that. Seriously, just don’t.”
*smashcut to 2016*
Me, living in a society that is intrinsically founded upon Christian doctrine and beliefs: “Student loan debt and credit card interest rates, am I right?”
In addition the the “Jesus got violent” bit: Jesus didn’t just grab a whip and start beating on people.
No, he went outside and made a whip first and then went back in and started flipping tables and beating on people.
MATTHEW 20:28 AND THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE (THESE HANDS)
…yk it never occurred to me before that jesus literally has an official weapon that he crafts and uses in canon.
most gods that do that, or even just have the weapon, it’s a big part of their imagery. and we’ve got all this immense traditional drama around like. every object tangentially associated with this guy’s death.
you got your nails and your slivers of wood and your cup and your spear and your shroud, entirely too many of each, and turning up in so many places. emperor constantine’s mum was sainted for somehow retrieving cross-bits on her pilgrimage. superman once got mind-controlled by the jesus-stabbing spear of destiny which had been corrupted by hitler. that’s the kind of cultural footprint these articles possess.
but i cannot think of one single mythological appearance of that leather whip, handcrafted by this divine avatar in the actual canon. this religion is so weird.
anyway, spear of longinus out, Whip Of Anti-Capitalism in.
i demand a movie be made of someone finding jesus’s whip and going aruond and whipping the 1% until they pay their fucking employees and their taxes im lookin at you jeff bezos
best thing i learned today: “The Loud American” role in Japanese businesses
nobody asked but imma explain anyway
no idea how it came up, but my programming prof was talking about his friend who works for Nintendo Japan who’s secondary role is The Loud American, and my prof explained what that was and how it came about
see, in Japan you do not talk back to your boss. you just don’t, even if they have stupid ideas and want the company to act on them. Like Nissan did sometime back. But since the other employees couldn’t do anything about this terrible idea that would ruin the company, they called in an American who had no reservations about telling the boss that their stupid idea was a stupid idea
and that’s just become a role in Japanese businesses, where they keep an American on staff who plays up the American stereotype and tells the boss what the Japanese employees can’t or won’t out of societal norms
Every word that starts with an N should have a silent G in front. Gnorway. Gnuclear. Gnervous system. Gnipples.
At some point my brain decided based on the word knee that body parts beginning with a n sound should have a silent k (particularly the word neck) so I am against gnipples wholeheartedly, it should clearly be knipples!
How about a compromise? Gn words and kn words get switched. So now it’s gneecaps and gnowledge, but it’s also knome and Knosticism.
the problem with this is that it doesn’t account for the original dilemma, which was gnipples vs. knipples
I, for one, think it should be pnipples, like pneumonia
Okay, but what about mnipples, like ‘mnemonic’?
Gkpmnipples (pronounced “nipples”)
