Hey, her girlfriend/wife got kidnapped! Of course she's upset!

Dorothy straight-up NOT having a good time during The Lost Princess of Oz,.

Bonus:

YES THAT WORD RIGHT THERE

Was it a third-party platform?

See, GrubHub and UberEats and Door dash and so on are apps created by computer people, NOT restaurant people, and speaking as someone who has had to be the restaurant tech guy putting stuff in those, it really shows!

It's a thing that comes up all the time, too. "These are the data reports that your POS will give you!"

"Okay, cool. Can I have coupon use by map sector for targeted local marketing?'

"Why would you want to--"

"Then how about deliveries by address instead of phone number? Dorms and hotels and things like that can have a hundred phone numbers for one address, and I want to-- why are you staring at me like that?"

And menus in third-party apps are just as bad. Sometimes, if you're very sneaky, you can figure out how to make something the programmers never thought of work for you, but you may have to have a good idea of how the program works, maybe a background in computer work... And many small restaurants just don't have someone for that.

(It also goes both ways, of course. "Why can't the program just do the thing I want?" Because it's not set up to, or the data doesn't exist, or...)

Okay, so: there's a local restaurant whose online ordering process involves various selecting various sauces to be included with one's order – so many units of teriyaki sauce, so many units of hot sauce, so may units of peanut sauce, and so forth.

The idea is supposed to be that you can select any combination of sauces you want, as long as it adds up to no more than four units. However, what the app actually required is that you select exactly four units of sauces; it wouldn't let you submit the ordering form if the total wasn't exactly four.

Just today I discovered that they seem to have fixed it... not by correcting the errant validation rule, but by adding a "no sauce" option, which counts toward the required total of four.

Thus, it's now possible to place an order with, say, two units of teriyaki sauce rather than four by entering 2x "teriyaki sauce" and 2x "no sauce". Similarly, an order with no sauce at all is 4x "no sauce".

This is quite possibly the least intuitive ordering process I've ever encountered, and I've literally worked in e-commerce.

YES GOOD LORD

Don't care much for Biden? Right there with you. Will I take him over Trump? EVERY GOD-DAMNED TIME.

Would I rather have someone else? Obviously! BUT THAT IS NOT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

Btw you can be intensely critical of the Democratic party and recognize that it is full of aged out of touch moderates who are refusing to meet the urgency of the moment,

and also recognize that voting for Democrats is extremely important because it allows things like the confirmation of Justices and prevents the literal fascist party from gaining more power and that harm reduction is an important end in itself

These things can coexist

Politics is a long game. Being disappointed and angry today does not obviate your responsibility to participate

This is 100% true.

cooking baking

This is 100% true, and the "Drop the T" idiots need to LEARN it. They won't be accepted by right-wingers for turning on their own. Only in unity is strength possible.

was thinking about infighting and like. they all see us the same. from the wildest queerest fagdyke to a cis gay guy. we are the same to them. the weird queers are not like. ruining your precious community. we're a part of it

Is 6 a lot? It's relative. I had 20+ taken at times. (I volunteered for studies that required drawing duplicate samples; would otherwise have only been about a dozen.)

got blood work done today and i just remembered a time i got blood work done as a teen. after the nurse drew like 6 vials of the stuff, i asked him “is all that mine?” and he said “not any more” and walked off

Good lord, yes, all of this.

But hey, those not-like-us people are SO very convenient to get people stirred up and angry... and NOT questioning why, say, the government lowered taxes on billionaires but raised it on everybody else.

That honestly sounds like the version of Quakerism that you make up to stir up everyone else against them.

The problem with studying Catholic heresies is that they litreally made a hobby out of inventing fully realised heretical theologies in order to accuse each other of subscribing to them. Basically every single one comes with a big asterisk noting that it's unclear whether anyone ever actually believed this, or whether some random theologian just made up a guy to get mad at – and the worst part is that you absolutely cannot tell just from looking at them, because the heresies we do have evidence of actual practice for are, if anything, even weirder. Like, the guys who thought Jesus was a hologram were 100% real, so you can't rule anything out!

HELL yes!

sticker design for pride this year! 💞🏳️‍⚧️

As a boy, I'd enjoy learning all about animals As a child, I was wild for the fish in the sea And without any doubt you stood out as the champion And I knew it was true where I wanted to be

When they said you were dead they were showing their ignorance You're renowned, you're profound, you're alive and you're strong In my mind you're sublime, and I think that the world should know I attest you're the best so I made you a song

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take all I can Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth

Missing link's out of sync with the crazy world of today You were gone for so long, didn't know what to do Is it wrong there's a song that is called Barracuda? There is none, not a one, that is named after you—after you!

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take all I can Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take coelacanth Coelacanth

--The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, "Coelocanthem"

Checking myself before wrecking myself; reblogging to save the world.

have you thought about trans women in a normal way today

I just can't argue with that.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seriously. I'm a manager. I have to deal with people. For, like, just HALF of that conversation, it would be "...we'll mail your last check to you. Don't come by the store again."

New trainee!

ANYTHING to fix this BS! ANYTHING!

A boy can dream, can't he?

Unfortunately true. We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, as painful as it can be.

But we also can't stop pushing. Don't be satisfied with just small victories. Keep going!

I think more leftists need to recognize the gap between “this should happen eventually” and “this would be feasible to achieve in the near future”

Like, I’m an anarchist. And I think an ideal world would have no nation states or borders. But that’s not going to happen tomorrow, or next year, or for a long time

So while I wait, instead of endlessly hemming and hawing over what the would should look like, I try to focus on what I can do right now to improve the world in material ways and to lessen the suffering of others

Yeah, this is me. Current events? DAMNIT BLUE RINGS TIME

Reading about current events ;3

I hope someone reads this somewhere and it saves a life.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911. Rather than sharing another joke please contribute by broadcasting this which can save a person’s life! Be prepared and become part of the solution. Get your free next-of-kin notification card today.

Hell to the yes!

don't give up

Junji Ito making manga about cats is just a wonderful thing, honestly.

junji itō was so right when he said this

100% this. Why is it bad if the people who own tons of land lose money? Fuck those guys!

I work with conspiracy theorists. This is 100% how it works.

I mean, yes.

pretty much all anti-zoo sentiment is based on a gut reaction and nothing else. animals do not have concepts like “prisons.” animals desire to be well-fed, hydrated, healthy, safe and enriched, and this is what good zoos provide for them. animals living in well-managed zoo habitats have a higher quality of life than their wild counterparts, free of predation, starvation, exposure and parasites, and have a much higher chance of survival when they get sick. and that’s what animals desire. they’re not sitting around thinking, “well this is good and all, but i’d rather trade my health for a nebulous concept like freedom. i want to go die of mange in the wilderness.”

good zoos are also more ethical by FAR than placing exotics like wildcats or highly intelligent birds in private keepers’ homes, but strangely a lot of folks who hate zoos have no qualms with that.

YES.

We don't have perfect candidates. It sucks, but yielding the game to the far right would such SO MUCH MORE. And the mediocre people we get in office still manage to do SOME good, as my having health insurance will testify.

sorry but i want to hit every american talking about not wanting to vote democrat anymore with hammers. lol

HELL to the yes. You have to keep going. And the more you get involved, the more power you have to change things.

Reblog and put the species of the nearest stuffed animal

YES!

crossposting from twitter because I spent way too much time on this not to

solidarity doesn't mean you get to pick and choose who's "palatable" enough for The Left, you cowardly fucks.

throwing the weirdos and "unrespectable" queers overboard just buys you a little more time to live before the fascists get to you next.

The biologist is correct, too.

Organic Chemist: Everything left of the staircase on the periodic table is metal.

Inorganic Chemist: Actually, boron, carbon, aluminum, silicon, arsenic, tellurium, and astatine are metalloids

Astronomer: Everything but hydrogen and helium have metallicity.

Physicist: all nonmetals become metallic under very high pressure and low temperature.

Biologist: I think there's like one type of snail that has some metal in their shells 🤷

This is true; it's another variation of all the other arguments that something is bad without actually explaining WHY.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

Hey, that's good stuff! Our lives touch each other in ways we don't expect!
