This came up on my facebook feed and I am so excited to see how generation Xers and Baby Boomers will find a way to use this to shit on millenials anyways
nice okay we’re off to a good start
oh boy do i have something to tell you about millennials, working, and debt that’s gonna absolutely blow your socks off
banksy’s family found this article
Why old people so mad.
It’s funny because millennials can pretty much multitask like it’s second nature simply because it’s necessary to keep up with society, while baby boomers whine about reading subtitles and can’t seem to program anything more complicated than a VCR.
But sure, ok, the kids are lazy and have entitlement complexes
Older Generations: -Make comics about kids not knowing how books work-
Millenials: -Read more books than anyone else-
Older Generations: …no we changed our minds reading a lot is lazy and entitled now
I had a professor, way older, talk at a great length about how his generation is more well read than Millenials. When it was brought up that our generation reads more, he literally came out of nowhere with “Well, that’s not the point. See, my generation was better informed. You kids don’t know what it is to actually sit down and read for information. This generation is the least informed of any previous generation! Other generations sat and read, listened to the radio for information. There’s access, but are any of you *actually* informed? No. If I wanted to know what happened in Finland to make it a country, I would go to the library, speak to another human being, and check out books to read on the subject. We were happy to do it.”
A girl a few seats behind me goes, “Bullshit. If I want to know that, I can Google that in a few seconds depending on my signal. I can youtube or Netflix a documentary on Finnish History. I can listen to podcasts made by Scandinavian historians. I can use Duolingo to get a better than basic understanding of the language, and use Amazon same-day to get a book in my hand by my last class of the day, delivered to the class. I can order Finnish food on my ubereats app, find a language partner chat app to video with people in Helsinki, use Google Earth to visit, patronise interactive museums, and stream the most popular films from the country *right now*. If I so desire I can take an opensource course from a highly accredited university about the same subject and apply to study abroad with a trusted program with the click of a button. I can use Tinder to find me someone there to get some with, I can buy plane tickets and find a top rated hotel for a good price with great reviews and stream their local radio stations with an app. I can buy train tickets, bus tickets and rent a car. We aren’t less informed. We just don’t learn things we don’t give a shit about or need just to say we did all smug about it. Stop sneering at us for the access your generation dreamed of giving us actually happening just because your old ass doesn’t know how to use it.”
Oh fucking hell why is my activity feed full of terfs
They just keep coming?!
Yes, the transplants work - there have been 8 successful pregnancies so far.
No, they aren’t excessively dangerous - no one has been harmed or killed.
No, it doesn’t mean the fetus will be half yours.
Yes, they do take uteri from living donors - the living donor transplants have been much more successful than those using deceased donors.
No, you are not in any danger of having your uterus harvested after your death against your will, even if you are registered a an organ donor.
No, it isn’t “impossible” to transplant organs and tissues between sexes. The sex of the donor is not a barrier to transplant for other organs and tissues and trans men have been able to carry healthy pregnancies to term despite years of HRT.
Read a book and grow up.
No, “male” pelvic girdles aren’t “too small” or “the wrong shape” for a uterus to fit in. It’s an internal organ about the size of a lemon; as it expands it will grow upwards and outwards, just like in cis women; and no one is expecting a vaginal delivery.
No, they don’t transplant the ovaries or vaginal canal along with the uterus. The embryo is created via IVF and it will not have the donor’s DNA unless they are also the egg donor.
No, a uterus on it’s own isn’t “useless” without a “female” body to magically imbue it with baby-making power.
The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.
A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.
Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.
So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….
actually…
tilting at windmills.
I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at
for those who dont know, logan paul recently made a vlog in the suicide forest of Japan and found a person who had hung themselves earlier that day. he continued with his vlog and although he acted shocked and disturbed he did still upload the vlog including footage of the corpse. among other thing, he was wearing a silly hat and he joked about his friend’s nausea saying “what youve never been around a dead body before?”
heres how he could have handled it even slightly better:
“yo logang we were gonna do a fun vlog in aokigahara but unfortunately we found someone hanging and we could not continue. the police have been notified and out of respect for the recently deceased we will not be posting a video today”
logan paul hire me you dumb fuck im so much better at PR than you
i think the worst part of this is that the vlog is monetized, which means hes making money off showing off someone’s suicide.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT
Also the dead body is straight up in the thumbnail. The other Japan tour videos depict him acting like an ABSOLUTE jackass.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT LOGAN PAUL IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING SCUM!!
