Ripley has a very good grasp of the word “touch” and we often use it as a command word to get him to try to be less afraid of new things or to ask his permission to pet him. He knows if we ask him to “touch” a person or object, he’ll be praised for gently tapping his beak against it. He also knows exactly what we mean when we ask him not to touch something,
Today I yelled at him for biting the wall and he did probably the pettiest thing I’ve ever seen him do: he went around touching stuff in the room and saying “no” and staring at me to make sure I was watching him do it.

BDSM is fine, except for binding people which is fucked up, and dominating people which is fucked up, and sadism which is- lets be real- pretty fucked up, and masochism which is honestly lowkey pathetic

Sumerian Veteran: *has severe PTSD but doesn't know it because the term won't be invented for another 5000 years* I fight the same battle in my dreams every night and my relationship with my family has fallen apart.
Sumerian Healer: *saw hundreds of veterans with the exact same affliction before* You're cursed by desert demons.

European: Americans will be like I’m going to watch a whore movie and eat a hamburger slathered in lard
Americans: it’s true I do do this.
American: British people will be like alright I’m off to eat some wheezy bangers (beans and bread out of a can)
Brit: I’ve seen this reblogged by several people I normally trust so: How mocking British cuisine and dialect has a long classist history and how it became frighteningly normalized on an American (uniquely cruel, uniquely ignorant) internet: a thread. 1/?

preferring snes visuals is totally valid, and I agree, I think games peaked visually on 16-bit systems, but I've been seeing a lot of revisionist history like "the original looks better because of the blockiness" and the original was NEVER intended to look blocky. this game was made for a tube, not an HD display, and game art was specifically made to look good in phosphor. emulation is an amazing tool and I'm glad it allows people to play otherwise inaccessible games but the idea that sharp HD pixels that aren't meant to look like that is superior to visuals crafted in HD is driving me nuts. absolutely play the original if you want, but it doesn't make you better than remake players, and for god's sake at least figure out a good crt filter
