no read good

i still doubt there are many people that think this way :/

I always saw this as each person having their own stupid ideas. The way they all think the same thing about each other. Wrapped up in their own world. Each of their “conscious” being a unique twisted interpretation of the world.

I saw this as how every worker hates his/her job, and how they just want to escape the mundane/meaningless existence that comes with the wage cage. That was my first thought at least.

…no

The nice (if not best) thing about XKCD is that you don’t have to do a pseudointellectual lit-crit analysis to every comic, because the ALT-TEXT EXPLAINS THE JOKE IF YOU ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO GET IT.

In this case, the alt text is: “What are the odds — five Ayn Rand fans on the same train! Must be going to a convention.” The comic is called ‘Sheeple’ for Christ’s sake.

shorter version: agree with bthny

Damn it, I really wanted to go to this.

nonotyou:

1.   Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2.   When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3.   If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4.   NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5.   If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

6.   Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

7.   USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.

8.   Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

9.   Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!

10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.

And, ALWAYS REMEMBER: if you didn’t ask permission and then respect the answer the first time, you are committing a crime- no matter how “into it” others appear to be.

I move to Boystown in exactly one week.

I have yet to buy furniture.

I am too excited to care about furniture.

The Puterbaugh Sisters - Glitter Party

(the final mix for the video that is debuting tonight @ Berlin!)

!!!!

Oh God… I love this.  It’s a song about being gay and glittery with a shit ton of Chicago references, haha.

“I want to be a part of a group of people that when you ask them how the Cubs and the Bears are doing they’re not talking about sports.
You see when it’s 4am and the only bars open are John Barleycorns,
well then you have too much glitter for that.”

For some, pro-life also means anti-contraception - Feministing

One Day to Live (via perfect-tragedy)

No offense to whoever you wrote this about, but this is a stupid waste of your last day on earth. I can think of many other things you could do, most of which could involve the eyeball person, that wouldn’t feel like you were just sitting still, staring creepily until you dropped dead. You could go to the batting cages, or have a nice dinner, or you could play scrabble or make a pie. Basically, anything but literally standing still, staring at someone for 24 hours straight.

“Lydia DePillis has a depressing item about the role access to contraceptives is playing (or, rather, not playing) in efforts to forestall catastrophic climate change…”
