when my brother and i were kids we got in trouble for using the term "dadding" to mean making a promise you have no intent to follow thru on which is a testament to this country's disdain for creative types

Y'know the thought crossed my mind so I want to know if the population of this website has learned and grown any, so here is a thought experiment:

Suppose there's a Christian conservative lawmaker who consistently backs all of the economic and social policies of his conservative party. He is married to a woman and has children. Suppose that one day it comes out that he has had sex with a number of men around the capital. For the sake of avoiding baggage let's say he avoided anyone he had power over and only slept with people uninvolved in government. This man has never frequented any gay space and at most used hook-up apps to match up with potential sexual partners.

And if your answer is something other than "straight", show your work: do explain to me how someone who consistently refuses identification with the community, who hates us and who works to kill us and take away our rights deserves to be considered one of us.

horse eating hay from the hood of a very nice car parked inside its stables we can deduce the cars engine is not in the front as the lights are still on and there is hay in its hood and nothing has caught fire or blown up or some other tragedy instead this horse is peacefully having a meal from the maw of the very machination that rendered it nearly obsolete in the transportation industry of western world this speaks to the possible forgiving nature of this horse

Requesting help with move in costs

Hi my name is Robin and I'm moving out of my ex boyfriend's apartment and into my own!

I already have $1672 in my savings to pay for move in costs, but I need help getting to the full amount. I'm requesting aid to raise $855 by June 3rd.

If it makes a difference, where I'm staying now is infested with pests, smells heavily of animal urine, and even has mold.

Please, I've waited a long time for this. ANYTHING will help. Thank you 💕

here are my biggest gaming hot takes:

- no game actually needs to run faster than 30 FPS

- no texture needs to be bigger than 2k, and most don’t need to be bigger than 1k (save for megatextures). A good chunk should actually be smaller than 1k

- lower poly counts > high poly counts

Once you pass a certain threshold, it doesn’t even affect the style of the game that much, and you’re just using exponentially more power to get exponentially smaller results

Like, for example, the original Skyrim was 4 GB. The remaster is 22 GB. That’s five-and-a-half times more space for the exact same content! The graphical improvements are honestly negligible, especially when you consider the massive leap in storage and RAM used.

These sorts of things just hit diminishing returns so quickly— My eyes can’t tell the difference between 1k and 4k textures.

We have so many fun ways to get the maximum mileage out of every pixel and every polygon. It’s sad to see those techniques slowly trickle away from big-budget games!

Even as storage space becomes less and less of a concern, there’s something satisfying about keeping everything as small and tidy as possible

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
