Or two women pursuing one man, in the case of Jolene. Dolly Parton says it's not supposed to be the singer lusting after Jolene, but girl, come on.
One thing that's very good in fiction is when two guys are pursuing one woman and then one of them starts thinking very resentfully about how hot the other man is and goes into immense and specific detail about how his body is better than his. That's how you get beautiful lines like "trousers at half-mast around slender hips". We should do more of this.

We've had thousands of years. If we weren't ready by the time movies were invented we weren't going to be ready.
starting to think we as a species needed a bit more time learning to distinguish fact from fiction before we invented TV and movies

Alcohol-free? No! Alcohol, free!
Welsh is an official language of Wales. This means, legally, it cannot be treated less favourably than English in any part of daily life. So we have bilingual signs and sometimes the translations are… well just awful.
This is a classic and made the news.
Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.
Welsh reads “Wines and ghosts”
Welsh reads “Warning workers are exploding”
In English these drinks are alcohol free in Welsh the drinks are free “Alcohol for nothing”.
Um- Welsh reads “Free erections” yes really!
This seems a tad harsh “Injure yourself now”
Wording is fine but the English and the Welsh disagree on right/left
The sign says “Parcio I Bobi Anabl” which is “Parking to bake the disabled” which I don’t think Tesco were going for.
#Welsh#funny signs#That first sign is dangerous because people will drive their car off the road while laughing#reblog#sighinastorm

Jewel theft seems kind of silly when you can get gems online for fifty bucks. Like, stealing the Crown Jewels or a Faberge Egg is one thing, but what are you even doing robbing a jewelry store? Getting past the insane markup?
whatever happened to jewel theft? such a classy crime. babe i’m dark. i’m a criminal. you don’t wanna mess around with an international jewel thief like me. i’m stealing jewels back from a museum that stole them from a sacred crown. i’m stealing a jewel for an eccentric gay millionaire who wants to put it up his butt. let’s just say…. i live a life of dangur

Meanwhile anyone who's actually experienced in shoreline protection knows that your best bet is a riprap barrier system.
absolutely losing my mind that a bunch of nimby assholes spent $500k to build a sandcastle that was promptly wiped away
#Sand my god#Do these people even live at the shore#sand is what the ocean loves to take a bite out of#it's like building a wall against dragons out of sheep#reblog#petermorwood

One thing is for certain: We loved the shoelaces
2014 Tumblr wasn’t about whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about. 2014 Tumblr was about overanalyzing Captain America: The Winter Soldier and that one website that let you play Cards Against Humanity online

That is absolutely a face I can relate to. They made that bug look like the saddest, most pathetic thing ever. That thing is givine me puppy-dog eyes without even trying. It could be utterly elated and I would still think "Aw, poor baby." What kind of monster looks at this and recoils?

basically their claim that tlaxcala was the only nahua city governed by a "republic" instead of a monarchy is based only on spanish sources who projected a bunch of european ideas about athens onto the city that allied with the conquistadors against tenochtitlan. they mock charles mann for saying tlaxcala had four kings at the time, when that's exactly what nahua sources (which graeber & wengrow ignore) say: tlaxcala was a coalition of four altepetls / kingdoms, each with their own tlatoani / king, making it a fairly normal nahua city. if you email me at alexjwells1 at gmail dot com i can send you the article camilla townsend (author of "fifth sun") sent me!
My apologies, I do not remember what I said in the first place.
But I would certainly find it odd that, if Tlaxcala was a republic, there was not any other Nahua polity that had got the same idea.

Then you wouldn't be able to see your dash through the millions of boops you were getting every second
my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw
