My favorite examples of how crazy genetics can be is with twins
I love genetics. Biology is a trip
This is always so cool.
People like to think that genetic inheritance is like a 50/50 split of traits or some shit when in reality it’s like a fucking free for all who gets to take what spot and what traits develop as a result like
You wake up with other versions of you from past lives in a white room. A computer in the middle of the room says “please press the START button.” Once pressed, it shows a blueprint for your next life. You and your other versions have to create personality traits and characteristics.
well the last time they must’ve really fucked something up and added too much anxiety and not enough actual personality because this sucks
Most people criticizing sex positivity don’t seem to know what it even is, can y’all keep this in mind before putting those types of posts on my dash?
Like… sex positivity is supporting people engaging in healthy and safe sex acts. It’s spreading sex ed and shutting down anyone who shames others for having sex for any reason (doing it “too much,” doing it “the wrong way”, etc)
When you see posts that are like “let’s move on from sex positivity and start supporting healthy sexuality and blah blah blah”, OP is either deeply misinformed on what sex positivity is or is trying to mislead you, probably the former tbh but some folks out there do have motivation to deceive people on this subject (that motivation being a desire to control peoples sex lives, so we’re more likely looking at radical feminists and conservative Christians in that scenario, but also please don’t assume malice when ignorance is just as likely)
Before you criticize something, please know what it is
Also fun fact, sex positivity is pretty fuckin explicit about the idea that the ability for a person to NOT consent to sex was just as critical as their right to consent without shame. So don’t buy into lies about it only pushing people into yeses either.
And now he’s directing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse starring Miles Morales, a half-African American and half-Puerto Rican teenager! It must feel amazing for him to direct a movie where the protagonist looks like him.
Guy is also an unapologetic leftist on twitter who shuts down myths and lies about Antifa, and it’s putting so many pissbabies into hysterics that a leftist black man who does such things is directing such a big movie. The cries of “wahhh what is happening to the entertainment industry” lately are giving me life
if you call a trans character a ‘trap’ or a ‘futa’ i will come into your house and personally break your fingers
Btw this also goes for ‘shemale’, ‘tr*nny’, purposeful misgendering, and any other awful slurs for trans people u weirdos think up
<yeah and all that but trap and futa are not slurs> <they’re fetishes that are basically detached from any form of actual transexuality>
Then dont use your weird sexual terms for legit trans people and characters my man, there is a thing called context, and the appropriate context is NOT towards people who dont exist purely for someone else’s sexual gratification.
ALSO, if you’re justifying it by saying “Well, it’s just a fetish term detached from reality” and yet a lot of people are using it to describe actual human beings in a shitty dehumanizing way, there’sprobably a fucking problem there.
Also, speaking as somebody who knows about the porn art subculture and who’s seen that stuff, that tr*p stuff isn’t just transphobic but also, with the whole “Oh the character identifies as male in the diegesis, but we put them in a special slur-based category because they’re in a dress” sort of plots that show up constantly in there, that term is pretty blatantly being used as one long holy shit-level “no homo” thing for a lot of guys with deeply internalized biphobia.
So, like, fucking admit you’re not as straight as you think you are instead of throwing trans people under the bus with a shitty meme term!
you ever see an image and think “i may see something as funny as this again, but never anything funnier”
ALL RIGHT YOU LITTLE SHITS GET READY TO LEARN SOMETHING
yOU WANNA ROTATE TEXT?! well mod 5ider has got the fucking t r i c k s homie
Step one: Type something.
P E R F E C T.
sTEP TWO: FIND THE RESIZE OPTION.
You see that little resize button on your menu?
Yeah, that’s the one. you can just click that shit!
On older versions of MS Paint there isn’t this option, but you can always find it with a quick right-click.
THERE IT FUCKING IS!!!!!
STEP THREE: STRETCH AND SKEW
When you click resize, this menu comes up.
I’m sure you all have seen this menu before, but for those who don’t, I’ll clue you in. The top options control the length and respective width of your artwork. you can choose to alter them separately,
or all together
Using that little “Maintain Aspect Ration” checkbox there, but that’s not important right now.
wHat we’re focusing on is that skew option on the botttom.
with that you can t i l t whatever image yuo have on your screen to the left
to the right
up
and down.
“BUT 5IDER!!!!!” you say, “THAT DOESN’T LOOK ROTATED AT ALL”
wELL HOLD ON TO YOUR LUG NUTS BECAUSE I T ’ S T I M E F O R
STEP 4: ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOO!!!!!
now, comes the fun part. unlike its aspect ratio locked cousin, the stretch and skew options work independently from one another. So, you can do things like
and
But that’s neither here nor there… what gets REALLY interesting is when your ratios are in opposite directions..
HOME RUN!
Now, before I let you go, I found out through trial and error that an angle doesn’t exactly match up with its negative dimension…
(Step 5: Angular ratios)
See? there’s a little offset between vertical and horizontal if your expect your text to appear natural instead of tilted. The only places that this offset reaches zero is at 90° (of course) and the rare and extremely dangerous 45° rotations.
Fortunately, I’ve already mapped out a few angles that I find are very useful in my works so, for your viewing pleasure… i present my handy dandy graph
All you have to do is match up your desired angle up to its respective complement and you have quickly and efficiently rotated your first word in MS Paint.
Have fun!
You know, you guys really seemed to enjoy this post.
Should I do more MS Paint tutorials in the future?
