badass women with graying hair and wrinkles and battle scars? old lesbians with sagging chests and thinning hair who could still lift twice their body weight? aging butches who dress old fashioned and speak with old colloquialisms but still protect all women with fierce love and conviction? hot as hell. incredible. best thing since sliced bread. wlw age like fine wine, like legendary blades of old, like vintage instruments, showing their age but still able to play a symphony
“look, it’s not like i hid anything, it just never came up!”
“You called yourself out for ‘straighsplaining’“
the whole bi thing goes completely over charles’ head and he keeps getting really aggro like “oh you and jake were real close huh?? too bad, sucker jake is MY best friend!”
everybody else is like “charles no”
at the end john mulaney turns out to be the embezzler they’ve been looking for
But he gets away by throwing a silver money clip with a fifty dollar bill in it in the gutter
even spicier take: “non-binary” means a thousand different things to a thousand different people and therefore anyone of any sexuality could theoretically be attracted to a non-binary person in some capacity, so if you’re gay and someone you’re attracted to says, “i’m non-binary,” you don’t actually have to redefine your entire identity, you can just drink a cup of sleepytime tea and go right on being gay and into non-binary people.
One time my friends and I realized that you only have to be 18 to rent a U-Haul (compared to 25 to rent a regular car), so we fuckin’ rented a U-Haul pickup truck for $20 and took it up to Seattle just to hit the town for the day.
That’s an amazing loophole to exploit.
I used to do this all the time when I lived in Hawaii and didn’t want to rely on the bus to get me home from the other side of the island. Some tips:
1. Return it as clean as you got it, and be polite to the rental guy. They know perfectly well what you’re doing and as long as you are nice they’ll keep forgetting to tell the company insurance what’s up.
2. If you don’t have uhaul in your area nearly every moving company has pickups, shop around for price.
3. While shopping around, mind things like gas charges, cleaning fees and late return policy. Adjust your plans to be back in plenty of time to fill up the tank and take out all your stuff/trash/give it a wipe down of needed, even in the event of traffic/roadwork.
4. If you think there’s a chance you might end up staying overnight, get the extra day, because the late fees are rough.
Not sure of any place’s individual policy about this but home improvement stores are also a source of rentable pickup trucks.
It actually pisses me off more knowing Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news
I dunno if banning half the userbase with poorly-coded bots qualifies as “perfectly able”
Despite glitchiness, they wiped MAP and MAP positivity tags, have put in a new report for drawn CP, have cleared out drawn CP tags, have deleted multiple known pedophiles’ blogs.
Even if some people had to be taken down on the way (with a system in place that makes your blog easily obtainable if you feel you’ve been wrongly deleted, with all of your posts and blogs still in tact), they fixed the problem within a few days.
So, to reiterate:
Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news
Further, the bots were poorly-coded because they were slapped together too quickly as a form of “damage control” in order to address the app being removed from app stores.
Had they done things the right way from the start, taken the time to design better bots or systems, the improper deletions wouldn’t have happened, or at least could have been far more limited.
They had plenty of time; the users have been asking for these issues to be addressed for years, after all.
