Some of you all need to learn what "red flag" means
It does not mean that if a person does a single thing thats considered a "red flag" they an evil abuser
It means they did something kinda sus
It means they made a bad choice
Or it means they did a dick move
They can even be having a bad day
The reason it's a red flag is because it could be part of a larger pattern of abusive behaviour
Could be does not equal Definitely Is
A red flag happens and you mentally take note and see how they react to being called on their bad behaviour and if they do more red flags
Everyone is "problematic" but we are also all growing individuals with the capacity to learn
You will have said and done things you aren't proud of in your life. That doesn't make you evil or bad because you did something once that is a "red flag"
Red flags and green flags are little indications of someone's behaviour. If a person ends up with more red flags then green and isn't willing or trying to better themselves... thats when you get concerned. Not when your friend has a bad day and snaps at you only to apologise later.
Just try to keep that in mind

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Reblog to increase sample size!

One time I brought one of my rocks with me on a plane to touch to calm me down during the flight, but it fell out of my pocket on my way back to the bathroom and then as soon as i realized this they actually announced “did anyone lose…… . A rock” over the loudspeaker system.
When I went up to claim it the plane man, clearly unable to throw off the shackles of his training in the procedure of asking for people’s full names and birthdates when they come to claim wallets, said “wait no, first tell me what color it is so I know it’s really yours”
He seemed to realize this was stupid directly after saying it and kind of smiled like to make it a joke but the joke was on him bc I Described the fucking rock to him for like 30 solid seconds
…anyway. that was an interaction I had once

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".

I love it when old sci-fi television seemingly has a huge budget for sets but fuck-all for extras, so the alien planet or whatever has lots of different locations, but no matter where the main characters go there are always the exact same three dudes hanging out in the background.

"common refrain, where's waldo? where is waldo? in times of war, where's waldo? people are dying in the streets, where the fuck is waldo? i'll tell you where he is. hiding on the goddamn beach somewhere. i can't find him. what kind of ally is that?"

me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this
me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
