I legit served a man at my last job who was fully covered in nazi symbols and shit. He was a proud actual real life nazi getting icecream in a family theme park and when he left I voiced my disgust to my coworkers on how security even let him in the gate wearing all of that. And you know what that bitch said? “Well some people are offended by your rainbow flag and you are allowed to wear it so he can too”. It’s not the fucking same. Don’t fucking compare the two

Nazis’ entire mission is to exterminate anyone who’s not exactly like them. It’s in no way comparable to “some people are offended”.

me: “I’d like to visibly exist without fear”

them: “I want to literally kill these people so that they stop existing”

centrists: “I don’t see the difference”

Oh wow I guess my addition to this post got spread a lot. I just wanted to add in another piece of important information. I live in Orlando. The location of the Pulse night club shooting. I was wearing a rainbow pin on my uniform because 49 people in my community died in a hate crime. I will never forgive anyone who tells me that my rainbow pins are the same as a swastika

Do you know about the gringills from super Mario Galaxy? This enemies always scared the hell out of me and I was wondering if you knew what species of eel they’re based from, cause I’ve never seen eels in real life that look like that. Are they just original designs?

They are, in fact, almost exactly like a real deep sea fish, Gigantura, and I CANNOT POSSIBLY PREPARE ANYONE for how stunningly fucking fantastic they really look.

I think that is in fact my single favorite face on our entire planet

TIL that farmers in USA are hacking their John Deere tractors with Ukrainian firmware, which seems to be the only way to actually own the machines and their software, rather than rent them for lifetime from John Deere.

via reddit.com

Rural Cyberpunk.

Companies like John Deere actively seek to legally prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment in order to squeeze more money of them. Elizabeth Warren’s called for a national right-to-repair law for tractors specifically to counter this.

Oh my neighbors did this. 

Thanks Ukrainian programmers! You’ve done us here in Iowa a solid, we do appreciate it

I dont understand why John Deer tractors need software. Like, I’m sure there’s a reason, but I can not think of one.

Ah! Because what you are likely picturing when you hear ‘tractor’ is this

AKA an engine with a lot of torque for Pulling Things strapped to some big tires with a wheel to steer it. Which isn’t inaccurate. But any longer, the driver’s seat of a tractor looks like this

Note the GPS, whole buncha buttons, and computer screen. Because, see, a lot of the functions of modern tractors and the equipment they pull are computer controlled now, and the programs that control those functions (like how much seed to dispense, how frequently, how deep to plant them, how deep to till, how much fertilizer to dispense, ect ect ect) are what this is talking about. John Deere has claimed that sure, you own the HARDWARE, but any longer that hardware can’t run without the software. Without that software, the tractor and equipment you spent half a million $$ on is a gigantic expensive paperweight. 

THAT is what they say you are only leasing from them.

What if Scotty is not actually Scottish, though? 

Like, what if his name just happens to be Montgomery Scott, so all of his friends started calling him “Scotty,” and then every time he was introduced to a new person, they would be like “Oh, are you Scottish? My uncle was Scottish!”

And finally, he just gets sick of explaining the situation, so he starts replying with “aye, laddie!” But then it turns out that the person he said that to was Captain Kirk, and he doesn’t want to admit that he lied to his new commanding officer, so he has to keep speaking in a ridiculously over-the-top brogue and commenting constantly on how much he loves drinking Scotch, and by the time that he realises that Kirk would have found humour in the situation, he’s in too deep and can’t stop pretending, and it gradually just becomes his normal speech pattern.

Then, years later, the Enterprise is being inspected by a Starfleet engineer who’s actually Scottish, and Scotty takes him on a walking tour of his warp engines and is all like “Auch! Here be me wee bairns!” and the other engineer is just like “what the fuck is wrong with you?”

I take the fact that James Doohan is Canadian as evidence of this theory.

Scotty hacking into his Starfleet personnel file to alter his place of birth.

Scotty soundproofing his quarters on the Enterprise so that no one can hear him teach himself to play the bagpipes from instructional videos.

Scotty making a great show of taking a shuttle down to Aberdeen to “visit his family” every time the Enterprise is in Earth orbit and then, once on the ground, discreetly site-to-site transporting himself to Vancouver or whatever.

None of these things are out of character or beyond his technical ability.

Yeah, but also in character: Jim Kirk has known since Day 1 that Scotty is not, in fact, Scottish, but is just sitting there waiting to see how far Scotty is willing to go to keep the story going. It started out as an “enough rope” situation but now it’s one of Jim’s greatest ongoing sources of entertainment and he wouldn’t admit at gunpoint that he knows. 

Honestly, Kirk would actively claim to have met Scotty’s Extremely Scottish Family/visited them in Aberdeen just to keep it going.

Frankly, as someone who’s paternal side is all Scottish, I simply can’t see any Scottish person not seeing this situation and running with it.

Next thing Scotty knows, half of Scottish Starfleet is claiming to be his brother’s sister-in-law’s half cousin twice removed and the Loch Ness Monster has been painted on the door to his quarters.

Kirk is busy dying of laughter.

The Avengers getting thrown forward in time for some reason and it turns out that they’ve gone down in history as legends but, somewhat like the Greek Gods, all the information and facts about them is warped almost beyond recognition and they spend the entire time in the future just being offended by how incorrect everything is

Steve: Okay so there is NO WAY they seriously think that the serum turned me into a FISH for seven hundreds years so I could survive under the fucking ice. And why the FUCK are they spelling my name as ‘Stiphin’ ??????

Tony: Well according to this history book I fucked my way through the entire population of New York and was the father of every second-generation superhero. Does that make me Zeus?

Thor, squinting at the drawings: Why do I look like Rapunzel

History Professor: And, one of the most powerful heroes of all, called himself king of the insects. With eight arms & six eyes and the chosen name of Lord Peterson, this ruler once set an army of poisonous spiders upon his mortal enemy after finding out that she had killed his family and stolen the woman he loved. It is thought that the lands were infested with spiders for years after, as a warning to anyone who attempted to challenge him

Peter, 15 years old, remembering how he can’t even pick up a spider without screaming: I did what now
