Teenage Girl Nonchalantly Plays Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ Guitar Solo
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
And no fucks were given that day.
Okay so I read this post on my dash a little while ago and hey,
Essentialy this argument involves 2 points of view. The original poster has written a post encouraging people not to eat fast food by way of fear mongering. 2) The responder has written a rebuttal claiming that the original post is vastly exaggerating fast food’s flaws.
I find the entire premise of the argument faulty.
The first person is essentially arguing, “fast food is made of partially hydrogenated DEMON SEMEN! Let me twist a bunch of facts to convince you, even though I could convince you just as well using perfectly straight facts.” The second person is essentially arguing, “Don’t let this person scare you into thinking fast food is dangerous for fake reasons. Let me minimize and gloss over all the real reasons fast food is dangerous while I’m at it.”
Here is the thing.
The fast food industry is predominantly run by pesticide companies — pesticide companies that started selling pesticide because the Vietnam war ended and they had to find a new way to market their chemical weapons. So regardless of whether or not individual processed food items are more or less gross and toxic, the fast food industry is, in fact, evil to it’s core. We are talking about businesses with a history of selling literal poison for the expressed purpose of killing human beings.
Point being.
I think people ought to be less worried about whether or not Satan jizzed in that hamburger he sold them, and more worried about the fact that Satan is selling hamburgers in the first place.
.
In the same vein, I find it odd how often I see bloggers evangelizing on the evils of the weight loss industry while simultaneously downplaying the evils of fast food.
I mean seriously:
THEY ARE THE SAME INDUSTRY.
The same people who make diet coke make regular coke.
Arguing over whether gastric bypass surgery has killed more people than twinkies* is like arguing over which hand a murderer used to stab his victim.
*Insert bad joke about GMO and HMO having the same MO.
This movie.
Guys, you don’t understand how great this movie is. This movie is about little girls who were bullied, who grew up and continued to get bullied and side-eyed and slut-shamed, and took a stand, and changed their whole community, because they finally understood that it doesn’t “get better” unless we make it better.

you should check out their website! http://www.helpineedhelp.com
If you think that packaging is brill, wait until you see the site.
This company is a marketer’s wet dream.
That website is fantastic. Seriously, click on it and check out the whole site. Best waste of time EVER.
This is delightful, but I wish to point out that, contrary to popular belief, ‘nauseous’ does not mean that you feel sick, but rather that you make other people feel sick. Which may be true, but one doesn’t usually admit it to the world at large. The word I think marketing were looking for is ‘nauseated’.
LOL no. Nauseous used to mean that “making others feel nauseated,” but people have been using “nauseous” to mean “nauseated” for decades. Our language has evolved to the point where using nauseous for its original definition only confuses the majority of English speakers. The original definition of nauseous is functionally obsolete.
A website marketing to contemporary English speakers is not going to use functionally obsolete diction. That’s bad marketing, and also bad English. English is a living language, and words and their meanings change over time. A real English expert understands this, and caters their diction to their audience (for example, I just used “their” as a gender neutral singular pronoun; “his or her” is considered more gramatically correct in literary circles, but excludes the genderqueer individuals who comprise a statistically significant portion of my reading audience here on tumblr).

This post is my blog in a nutshell. I now have pictorial representations for my every emotion.
I’m going to die I didn’t know there was a niche for EROTIC HOCKEY FICTION
Is this what sits next to the check-out line in Canadian grocery stores?
Oh my god.
Update: Most of these are gay erotic fiction. I dunno what else I expected from “Two-Man Advantage” in hindsight
Hey Ninja. Ninja. Hey.
ARE YOU (you know who you are) SEEING THIS SHIT?!?
Thinky Thoughts
Okay, so I don’t read up much on GoT speculation meta, so maybe this discussion’s been had before and my post is redundant, but:
If Danaerys Targaryan’s “mother tongue” is a language that seemingly only brown people speak, then why is she white? Like, maybe she wasn’t supposed to be white at all. Maybe George R. R. Martin’s intention was for the book!Targaryans to all be albino? Inbreeding passed the albinism gene around along with the super special “magical fire immunity” gene.
I mean, she has purple eyes in the book, right? Some albinos have purple eyes. In fact the only way to have eyes that look purple in real life, without the help of colored contacts, is by having a very particular expression of albinism, where your irisis are basically partially pigmented blue, partially un-pigmented (therefore appearing red) and the result is your eyes look purple.
Which, ugh, how much cooler and more subversive would it have been if an actual non-white albino had been cast, instead of some white lady with a blonde wig.
