Anyone else tired of the 3 guy 1 girl character setup in literally every movie ever?
It’s because at roughly that ratio is where men feel that men and women are represented equally.
There was a study done and when there was 1:1 male/female the male audiences felt as though there were more too many women. In general the men studied perceived things like 3 guys to 1 girl as more representative of the world.
That disgusts me.
There have also been studies in which it was found that men think women talk much more than they actually do – if they have to share equal air time with a woman they think they’re not getting a word in edgewise.
Imagine being so used to privilege and prioritization to think that the equal treatment of others is an unfairness to you.
a crowd scene that is 17% women is considered ‘too much’ when women are half of the population.
So basically the cylinder that science has used as THE kilogram since 1889 has been losing microscopic weight, like a few billionths of a kilogram. What scientists plan to do is instead of having a physical object set the standard for how much a kilogram weighs, they’re going to express it in terms of Planck’s Constant, a fundamental constant in quantum physics as unchanging as the speed of light in a vacuum. By dividing Planck’s Constant by the Meter and the Second (both already defined by fundamental constants), you get an insanely small weight. Multiply that by a big enough number and you get one kilogram!
So instead of measuring all weights against an object that can change, the kilogram is defined by unchanging physical constants and pure math.
A small fat bird, like the above, is the hieroglyph used in Ancient Egyptian to mean “wicked” or evil”.
The phrase above him (the inscription should be read from the top down) is “Nb s3″ or “Lord of the son of”. Genitive is usually implied in this sort of phrase without a connecting word, meaning:
This birb has literally created the sentence and declared himself “ Lord of the Son of Evil”
God dammit, I realised I made a mistake doing this from memory- the first sign is “k” for “your”, not “nb” for “lord”. So this birb has declared himself “your evil son”, not “the lord of the son of evil”. Which is not quite as dramatic, but still very menacing. You go bird.
Reblogging this version because I was going “no that’s a cup sign, there’s a handle”.
Sparrow knows what it’s doing I swear, look at its face.

I don’t know who Megan Kelly is but I wanna piss her off
dis bitch
“Verifiable fact” 😭😂
I’d PISS ON HER tbh
btw Saint Nicholas, whom Santa Claus is based on, was a black guy
and we don’t know exactly what jesus looked like, but here’s an artistic reconstruction of an average 20-something male from his ethnic group at the time
DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING WHITE TO YOU
I want this post everywhere
jesus was represented more or less accurately as an ethnically jewish arab man up until the reign of pope alexander vi, in the late 15th century. since he was viciously persecuting roman jews during this time, alexander wanted to make them less sympathetic to the public, and did so in part by ordering that portrayals of jesus be based off of his son, cesare borgia.
the reason “jesus is white” is because someone purposefully attempted to alter the perception of history to benefit his goal of persecuting a targeted ethnic group.
Wow, more proof the Borgias were trash.
Wow, I didn’t know Megyn Kelly was that big of an idiot
I was in 1st/2nd grade grade when the big Pokémon boom of the late 90s-early 00s happened. It was HUGE. Every kid was into it and we’d watch the show and play pretend and collect the cards and bring our game boys to school to trade Pokémon during recess. I was lucky to have supportive parents, but I remember how teachers and other adults would scoff and say how tired they were of Pokémon, how annoying and juvenile it was and how they couldn’t wait for us to “get over it already”. I might have been young, but I still remember how much these kinds of comments bummed me out. Why in the world are we being mean to little kids who like Fortnite
Why are you comparing pokemon to fortnite???
Because… Fortnite is very popular amongst children at the moment? And there are adults who dismiss it in the same way other adults did when Pokémon was big, calling it stupid, saying the dances are annoying, how much they can’t wait for the “fad to be over”, etc. It’s pretty much the same scenario.
Fortnite has a lootbox system that is glorified gambling, and can cause patterns of addiction in even adult minds, and that is in fact its intended goal in order for the game to make money from microtransactions. That’s how all games with lootboxes function. That’s how they draw in their customer base and squeeze more money out of them.
Like, I don’t judge kids who enjoy Fortnite. My little cousin plays Fortnite.
But last week, my little cousin also stole his mother’s credit card and spent about a month’s salary on microtransactions without his parents’ knowledge.
Modern gaming has become vile and predatory in ways that we didn’t have to deal with as children.
And we shouldn’t be mean to children about this, but we should definitely be coming down on these companies like a pile of fucking bricks.
Delicious.
Finally, some PROPER FORTNITE CRITICISM
Take it from a whale, this shit’s bad
I knew a kid who stole from his mom’s purse and went out and bought packs of pokemon trading cards
It was a frequent thing of kids spending their entire allowances on card packs in the hopes of getting Charizard or one of the other rare cards
Parents should keep a close eye on what their kids are playing and give them a stern talk about responsible consumer habits.
Honestly, if you’re letting your kid play Fortnite, what happens because of it is on you as a parent.
Exact same thing that comes up when people start complaining that kids are playing violent video games and that they should to be banned or restricted
Kids can’t just walk into a store put down $60 for the newest Call of Duty game and play on a $300 console on their own
Anyone that says that they have no idea what their kids are playing is just throwing money at their kids and not raising them
I grew up playing freaking NES games from the Christian bookstore until I was old enough to learn how to bargain with my Sunday school teacher of a mom on why this game was okay to play around my little brothers
I had to debate with her on what evolution meant in the Pokemon world and ended up coming up with a way that would make her believe in evolution from a creationist standpoint
If I broke down and started whining that would just get that object banned from any further discussion
Nowadays I see kids in stores just grabbing games off shelves and the parents are zombies with their credit cards buying them any game they get handed
And I’ve been seeing this shit for years
When Gears of War 2 came out, I saw a mom buying a copy for her 10 year old and the guy behind the counter stopped her and asked if she knew this game wasn’t suitable for minors and she just got all flabbergasted “they have games for adults only?”
“they have games for adults only?”
And the kid was all “but you bought me the 1st one”
Be a parent to your kids and watch them when they play video games and we wouldn’t have these problems!
Kids wouldn’t be playing violent video games
Kids wouldn’t be buying loot boxes
Kids wouldn’t be online talking to strangers, learning swear words, and wouldn’t be sending or receiving death threats
Adults wouldn’t be trying to restrict freedom of the consumer market in the name of the kids
….. sorry for the rant but this irks me
The videos of kids stealing their parent’s credit cards to buy V-bucks in fortnite is a concern to me but that’s a separate issue then just “fortnite popular must be bad”
