sending this to the ethnography department

this doc is about the advent of online gaming, a lot of the guys in it talk about never playing a game online before, and they still found a woman who made a website about how to disrupt the game and make sure people were critically analyzing the violent aspect of it. incredible.
shes at 15 minutes. she even talks about getting misogynistic hate mail. im kinda busy in the studio but im sure if u clipped it and said “wow gamer gate has really been going on since the first online games, this is 20 years old” itd take off. free 1k like tweet whoever wants it

my grandfather died. not really sad about it honestly because he had dementia for a while. how does this affect u:

1. no painting show next week
2. """jokes""" about how to sneak him into christianity post death (how tho)
3. shilling for mike bloomberg to pay for these flights
man cant believe my grandfather is gone, he'll never get his dream of seeing a middle-class kid who had to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to global entity that created tens of thousands of jobs become president of the united states #Mike2020
my only regret is that we never really talked about theology and i have no idea what he thought / thinks happens after you die, i only got really into it after he got dementia. i guess he was kind of agnostic and believed in god in a vague non imminent sense.

women complain that men dont discuss their emotions but they fail to realize that things like hunger, cold, desire for conquest, numbness, etc., ARE all emotions. we are more complex than you. please respect this
when i am cold that consumes the totality of my being + becomes my emotional state. as rilke would say i penetrate into the fundamental essence of coldness + it becomes the nature of my self. i understand that you want to hear "im sad" or something but men are on the next level
"i just want you to tell me about how you feel"

i am eating chicken

i FEEL like i am eating chicken

this is part of the essence of the male mind that few understand. even the "dumbest" man has seed of spiritual mastery in this sense. i do not know what it is like to be a woman

wondering what non catholic people think about the fatima miracles. seems like a [lot] of people were there and saw something. have heard a lot of really wild and interesting stuff about this incident recently from many different perspectives

🤔 🤔 🤔
i mean if youre catholic i would assume you think its real. honestly seems more likely than not that that is the case because of the images here but i havent looked into it enough yet.
there is a theory that the “third secret” the vatican revealed was fake and that the actual third secret was about high level vatican apostasy coming soon, yes, but, i just heard some random guy talking about it, have not checked out the

Here are some lessons from professional fighting which translate perfectly into real life.

1) you’re always tired when you’re losing.

2) everybody loves a winner

3) nobody believes your excuses. So why do you even use them?

THREAD.
4) your team helps you prepare. But in the end you’re all alone. It’s down to you.

5) your opponent won’t go easier on you on fight day because you’re too busy to run today.

Your opponent is life.

6) the eyes always tell the truth.
7) fatigue makes cowards of us all.

8) there’s no payday without risk.

9) nobody is prepared to lose. It hurts too much. They’d rather not compete at all.

10) your opponent is just as scared as you.

11) a well practised poker face will fool a lot of people.

1) Yes, I'm here.

It's a Jewish New Year grab bag.
2) Today was Yom Kippur.

I fasted all day.

And now the fast is over.

WOO HOO!
3) The Jewish New Year began a week and a half ago, but for me it starts when Yom Kippur is over, because the judgments on us are signed, sealed, delivered.

For our #WednesdayWisdom let's look back at a landmark #RPG that let you jump from star to star across the Imperium, trading and battling with various sophonts along the way.

It's a game of the far future that's lasted over 40 years: Traveller!
Traveller is a #ScienceFiction fiction role-playing game, first published in 1977 by Game Designers' Workshop. Launched a year before TSRs rival Gamma World it's probably* the superior SF RPG - its certainly stood the test of time.

(*Don't @ me!)
Traveller features various descendants of humanity with different skills and abilities. Your ship can jump faster than light to reach other planets but you can't communicate FTL, so you have to deal with whatever world you jump to before moving somewhere else.

jikook au where jk and jm are in a new relationship and still a little awkward around each other. whenever jm gets embarrassed, he turn to joon and hugs him bc he doesn't know what to do. jk just wants a hug :(
let's make this a drabble -
- the lightest sprinkling of angst
- tooth-rotting fluff
- crack lmao

it's gonna be short and sweet~
Jungkook grinned as his phone lit up with a 'good morning' text from /THE/ Park Jimin. He couldn't believe his luck. A few weeks ago, he'd finally worked up the courage to confess to the crescent-eyed man and was beyond thrilled when Jimin readily agreed.

Jungkook was used to it, the petty arguments, the forgotten dates and the ignored calls. There's only so much the younger can take before he finally snaps.

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"
