Controversial opinion but the Wii was actually a good system, it just had a heavy focus on nonviolent games that didn’t appeal to the American gaming demographic at the time.

Wii: here’s some fun sports games! Also you can play Mario Kart or some Legend of Zelda!

Every other video game: Here’s a machine gun, kill everyone in sight.

you’re right and you should say it

So this is a thing that happened.

A woman was going on and on about her “heavy chihuahua” which was just a straight up corgi.

okay but they actually had a very calculated disregard for speed limits?

some of the quick facts:

- average speed of 103mph (165kmh) including the 22.5 minutes of refueling
- reached cruise speeds of 160mph (258kmh)
- 700 horsepower from various upgrades

- built-in Net Radar radar detector
- windshield-mount Escort Max 360 radar detector
- AL Priority laser jammer system
- aircraft collision avoidance system (for finding highway patrol aircraft)

- brake lights and tail lights disabled
- vinyl trim used to make the rear lights resemble a honda accord (and not a race-ready mercedes)
- 2 ipads for additional police tracking
- 2 GPS systems to prove their record

- police scanner
- CB radio
- 18 spotters along the route to watch for police
- and my personal favourite, a roof mounted set of thermal binoculars

if i was like “every time i cut steak into a different shape there’s a brand new word for it” everyone else would be like “no that’s stupid”. but we let pasta get away with anything.

All the flavor, none of the bigotry!

Side note: I always knew that chicken tasted vaguely of pickles.

Also you can recreate Chick-fil-A sauce, too:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.

And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jennifer’s Body. I was flabbergasted. It’s not scary! It’s not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.

Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldn’t even talk about it. One of them said he couldn’t look at his wife for a week after reading it.

Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.

Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlash–men yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulate–the backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.

My conclusion? Most men–at least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a “villain”–are perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). They’re even sort of fine when women do violence to women (“ooooo cat fight!”).

But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.

So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassment–behavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actions–is to break something?

Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.

In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.

And they flinch every time.

No fucking joke, I was offered 4 days of film-set marshalling and I told him I was unavailable for one of the days but I could cancel. And he told me he’d potentially found someone else.

I reblogged this.

And not 20 mins later, he came back to me and said if I really want it, let him know now. So fuck. Wow.

tired of parents suggesting that every single thing that i enjoy doing be monetized

drawing? “you should go try for a tattoo apprenticeship!”

science? “you should get a degree in it from whatever university!”

video games? “you should stream!”

blogging? “you should partner with advertisers!”

snacks? baking? “you should sell them on instagram!”

crochet? soap? watercolor? “you should sell that on etsy!!”

why do i have to turn something i love into money? why can’t i just do it and be happy? what is the point of working myself to the bone for something i like? why? why? why?

there is no string of curses that so swiftly and thoroughly destroy my motivation and passion as “you could really do something with that”

everyone who reads this post will get some big spicy joy within 24 large minutes (hours)

Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers

So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!

If it worked for them I hope it works for everyone else

Some big spicy joy pls

Emily Carroll

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.

hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red

VOTE

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/09/18/us/politics/us-migrant-children-whereabouts-.amp.html

This isn’t just one opinion piece. Major outlets are reporting on this too. Children were trafficked “mistakenly” by the US government two years ago. Enough children to fill a high school have been disappeared the ones that they can still track down have been given to strangers who were not background checked.

ONCE AGAIN, THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO STRANGERS WHO ARE NOT BACKGROUND CHECKED.

Fuck voting. That’s months away. Get together and go to a protest. There are lots happening. If you’re in the US, there are protests happening near you. If you’re in the UK, protests are coming. If you’re elsewhere in the world, organise a protest or write to your political leaders and ask them to condemn Trump and his government and speak in support of his impeachment.

ive probably said this before but i LOVE the twilight zone episodes with no quantifiable moral at the end, they just wrap up like “wouldnt it be fucked up if that happened?”

everyone saying black mirror NO the whole point of black mirror is that it’s rife with unwanted morals! no! i don’t want to be told how technology is making us distant and how helicopter parenting makes kids hate you i want “what if astronauts found their own dead bodies on a random planet and had a breakdown for a full episode then realized they’re dead for real and then forget and do it all again forever, wouldn’t that be fucked? i’m rod serling”
