I have spent too long laughing at this thread…

OMG wtf is this from? I have never seen this before.

talkgentlytome:

Stuff that people asked to have on their tombstones. Those are all real.

zomblequeen:

Now that I understand what voir dire is I can tell you with absolute certainty that opposing counsel was there and the more jurors that got discharged the more they realized the case was going to win itself for them

mayitpleasethecourtt:

they do have a phrase that basically mean this, it’s “i’ll draw your attention to”

as in, “of course my learned friend may wish to contest the accusation of adultery, but i’ll draw your attention to the pregnant secretary”, which is a real thing i heard in court

(”my learned friend” is code for “this dipshit”)

the cop version of this is “in fairness to you”

like, “now i understand that you’re claiming these are all bathsalts, but just in fairness to you i will let you know that we carried out a roadside drug test and did find that all the containers held high concentrations of methamphetamines”

which is also a real thing i read in a transcript

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

Here’s An Idea. Smith et al. 2016

Terrible Idea; a comment on Smith et al. 2016. Johnson 2016.

You’re Wrong Too; a response to Johnson 2016. Nelson 2016.

Guys Just Stop Fighting, None Of Us Know What’s Going On; a Review of the Current Literature. McBrien 2017.

Not even an exaggeration.

@songs-and-types please this is killing me i can’t stop laughing

Trans culture is also laughing at ads like this

She’s so happy

My local area mass transit system is abbreviated HRT. I see HRT buses everywhere.

I don’t have a picture, but there’s a van I see around sometimes that has SAFE TRANS on its side.

There is a company near me called “Trans Vac” which I presume is for turning your genitals inside out.

I got really hyped at my pharmacy when I saw this

Is T’Challa ever nervous trying Shuri’s tech?

Chadwick: Absolutely.
Letitia: What??

#Okay but the best part of this clip is missing #and that is T’Challa asking Shuri why she is taping #like homeboy knew something was up #and she innocently tells him it is for research and everyone knows it isn’t science unless you write it down #BROTHER DID YOU NOT SEE THAT EPISODE OF MYTHBUSTERS WHEN HE POINTED IT OUT?#so like T’Challa must be thinking it’s 50/50 – either she is being Miss Scientist or she is screwing with me #but like a good big big brother he indulges her anyway #and the glee in her face and cackling laughter when he falls is worth it #because he loves his little science genius sister so much #she is the only one he willingly will make himself to look like a fool #I love the Royal siblings so much #they are the best #Black Panther spoilers

I’m sorry but it’s really annoying to see this keep happening on my dash. For those who don’t know,Pixiv is considering shutting down access to western users.

Why?

Because of edits and reposts onto social media sights, such as Tumblr, Facebook, even Twitter. The problem has been here for the past months and I really just get sad seeing everyone reblog edits and reposts of art that’sUNSOURCED.

I’m sorry if I seem bitchy, but this is a critical issue, because not only would this cut off fandom posters, it cuts off any person in the US from accessing Pixiv.

Pixiv artists are already deleting their works and accounts, more and more artists are deleting everything because of this. I have alreadymade a post about this on my main, and so havetwo of my friends. You may say we’re throwing a big deal about this, but the thing is- we’re just trying to make sure that us fans and future fans have the art resources.

Things to know:

ZEROCHAN AND WEHEARTIT ARE NOT SOURCES.

I REPEAT. ZEROCHAN AND WEHEARTIT ARE NOT SOURCES.

If you really absolutely don’t know, try the Google Images source thing.

Or better yet-saucenao is a better one, as if it’s a pixiv work, it shows you the original pixiv link, if it’s deleted or not, and the artist.

If you don’t know the source, DO THOSE STEPS ABOVE, and if they don’t work, state you don’t know it and ask around.

Oh, and biggest thing for the Vocaloid fandom mainly, along with other fandoms:

this is a list of pixiv artists who do not want their art reposted or edited at all.

If you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REPOST THEIR WORK, ASK THEM FIRST! It won’t hurt you to be polite, and even if they don’t understand english they probably will understand what you’re saying.

I find this very relevant to this blog so I hope you’ll allow me to give another PSA.

(Thank you endless-chocolate for sending me this link)

I see this happen on my dash sometimes and I’m not gonna lie, I did consider unfollowing the people that reblog unsourced fanarts. Especially more so on those so-called one piece confessions/dirty op confessions whatever. It’s getting ridiculous.

However, it’s my belief that every one of you are wonderful people who respects others, especially those who have worked hard in drawing and writing all the wonderful doujins and fanarts. So I hope I can raise some more awareness to this.

As usual I’m going to illustrate it in an easy way. (read right to left)

What supposed to happen:

What you’re doing when you don’t source:

What you’re making the artist do:

Every artist grow by displaying their work and getting critique. But when their work is spread around without any credit to the artist, AND EVEN MAKES THE OWN ARTIST DELETE IT FROM HIS/HER SITE it lost the purpose and meaning.

What you should do from now on (if you haven’t been doing so):

Here’s a guide on how to use saucenao. If it’s from pixiv, saucenao will most likely find it. If it doesn’t, use google image search.

If an artist spend their time to draw that fanart, I think we can spend a bit of time finding out the proper source/credit.

This has been another PSA from Dark Honey.

cant stress enough about this topic, please source everyone

I am proud to be raising awareness of this serious issue!

Please spread this around so less and less of a problem will continue!

so uh. hey. anyone autistic wondering why their trauma is affecting them so harshly despite thinking it wasn’t as severe as it could’ve been?? here’s your reassurance that you’re not overreacting, your Trauma Bank ™ just runs on overdrive.

Read the article; it does a decent job of explaining both the neuroscience and breaking the neuroscience down into an easier to, well, English.
