Hot take: There are legitimate criticisms that can be made about Fortnite’s pay to win/manipulative microtransaction style system but those of the fault of the game producers and not the people who play it and if you actively bully and mock children for enjoying something you’re pretty much just an asshole.

The good news is that USPS has put considerable effort into a new tracking system. 

The bad news is they might have overcorrected. 

I signed up for email notifications for the status of my package. I’ve been getting 4 emails a day telling me where the box is. I didn’t think there was such a thing as too much tracking information, but they are giving it their best shot. 

I’m worried my inbox is going to label them as spam soon.

  • Dave just ran your package to the conveyor!
  • Your package is on the truck.
  • Steve is filling the truck with fuel. Pretty sure it’s diesel. 
  • We can confirm it was diesel. 
  • Steve just crossed the state line. If your package was contraband you have now committed a federal crime.
  • Your package is at a rest stop. Steve was sleepy.
  • Steve is back on the road! Currently listening to Fallout Boy. Do you like their new song? I think it’s catchy.
  • Your package is now in Canada.
  • Just kidding! It’s in Kansas.
  • Steve is on your street!
  • Steve is in your driveway!
  • Steve is at your door!
  • Knock knock. 
  • Who’s there? 
  • Your package! 
  • Your package who? 
  • Orange you glad I didn’t say banana? Also, sign here.
  • Mission accomplished. Enjoy that dildo.
  • Just kidding. We don’t know if it is a dildo. The x-ray was inconclusive.
  • I’m just emailing you to say hi.

character development

#not so much character development#as the difference between joss’s gee golly gosh truth justice and the american way cap’n america#and actual steve rogers the potty mouthed daredevil IDIOT who let the army experiment on him because he was born so goddamn full of FIGHT ME  (via absentlyabbie)

That is the best description of Steve I have ever seen

I was always so confused about if Joss Whedon had seen The First Avenger. Because Steve swears in the movie. Not like hard, its a PG-13 family movie, but he does swear. 

I think Joss Whedon falls into the same trap as bad fic writer, where he thinks Steve is a farmer from 1950s Kansas instead of Irish Catholic kid from 1920s Brooklyn.

Steve Rogers is 400 pounds of righteous kickass in a 100 pound body and by using the serum the army found room for only most of it.

he thinks Steve is a farmer from 1950s Kansas instead of Irish Catholic kid from 1920s Brooklyn.

this is it. this is the description for how steve is so often mischaracterized.

This white boy came over a month ago and asked why my pillow was shiny. I told him it was satin, because I need a satin case to maintain my natural hairstyle overnight.

This past weekend I stayed over at his house after a party because it was too late to go back to Manhattan, and when I got in bed I noticed that one of his pillowcases was satin.

I asked him why a white, nearly bald man needed a satin pillowcase and he said he bought it for me, in case I needed to sleep over sometime. He didn’t want me to ruin my hair on cotton.

I kissed the ever-loving shit out of him.

That’s how you show a brown girl you care.

Update: he’s my boyfriend. our 1 year anniversary is coming up next month.

New Update: We had our two year anniversary on August 9th.

We also have moved in together.

As we went through his stuff for the move, we found the last of those pillowcases he bought for me in 2015.

I sleep on it every night.

THREE YEARS AS OF LAST THURSDAY

what other animals have we bred to have a huge variation in sizes like dogs?

why must we play god

let’s not forget cats

Pigs.

Fully grown healthy small breeds clock in between 70-150 lbs. Extreme situation pigs (AKA minimicro teacup etc, which btw teacup puppies are also extreme situations and are not healthy) show up sometimes at less than 50lbs. There are lab breeds (pigs are used in human medical research because of their similarity in organs and tissue composition) that are rumored to be bred “safely” down to 50 lbs but lab pig breeds are pretty tightly kept confidential.

gigantic commercial breeds can weigh 700+lbs when allowed to reach full size. extreme individuals have been recorded over 1500lbs.

here’s a farm pig and a potbelly, but that farm pig is just a regular farm pig. not even one of the huge ones.

And cattle too.

Chianina (an italian draught breed now raised for meat). this is the tallest and heaviest pure breed of cattle.

But holstein-friesians are ridiculously tall. They don’t weigh as much, but they’re suuuuuuuuper tall.

vs a wide variety of mini breeds.

mini zebus

mini texas longhorns

there’s a ton of miniature breeds. A TON. Some are traditional/natural breeds, IE the entire breed is that small. Some are miniaturized versions of full sized breeds (like the longhorns above. There’s also mini holsteins, mini angus, mini herefords, you name it)

Oh my??? MINI LONGHORNS

basically any time humans domesticated an animal they went “now let’s make a small one and a big one”
