i rather see these than “keys in hand”

Fatality

Umm so since I’m stupid could someone kindly explain each step for me like step 3 am i head butting him in the face or the chest?

I think it depends on the height of the person, but I suppose the head is a more effective target. I hope this helps :)

If you can head butt him in the face totally do that but if you’re too short go for the throat-ish area or sort of near the base of his ribs because that’s gonna suck a lot.

okay but being assaulted doesn’t take your “dignity” away what the fuck

we really need to stop acting like the penis is so fucking magical it can change who someone else is

That last comment… that’s is it, that’s the whole can of worms, right there.

“I am one of the lucky ones. I managed to turn my history of science and philosophy degree into graduate education in a semi-practical field. I’m not too worried about my employment opportunities once I finish my PhD. But I have friends who are suffering. They are being bounced around between unpaid internships, or desperately sending out resumes, or stuck working in underpaid fast-food jobs when they have master’s degrees. It’s nasty out there, and for baby boomers with secure pensions to shrug their shoulders and say that we should have been more shrewd with our career planning when we were seventeen and there was no recession and everybody was telling us to follow our passions is not just wrong; it’s also insulting. It’s a deliberate attack on unemployed and underemployed young people, aimed at implicating us in our own misfortune and diverting attention away from political choices that are needlessly exacerbating the recession. That this wrong and hurtful narrative has been accepted by the media and political elites is a big, big problem.”

The Doctor has been reacting with horror rather than wonder, and running rather than communicating

"The first time I read ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ I was sitting in 10th grade English class. But there is..."

Thu, 16 May 2013 07:22:01 -0400

“The first time I read ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ I was sitting in 10th grade English class. But there is one image that stays with me. The description of crops going unharvested even as workers are eager and willing to pick the food. He writes:

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the time, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

And the smell of rot fills the country.

He wrote those words more than 70 years ago, yet the conditions he describes still ring true for 50 million Americans living in food insecure households today… . Hungry families do not have enough food… [but] not because of scarcity. Every year 40% of food produced goes uneaten. That’s 20 pounds of food per person per day. And that is the twisted irony of hunger in America today. What Steinbeck called that crime that goes beyond denunciation, landfills brimming with rotting food while 15% of households don’t have enough to eat.”

Somewhere It Hides a Well...: Living with your "choices"

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:27:12 -0400

Somewhere It Hides a Well...: Living with your "choices":

cactuartamer:

Opponents of economic justice spend an awful lot of time talking about people’s “choices.”

They talk as if such a thing as free choice actually exists, upholding the thing they call the free market (which, supposedly exists).

Don’t like your ISP? Change it, they say! Except… there’s actually just the one ISP for your entire area.

Employer doesn’t offer decent health care? Get a new one! Except…. you can’t afford to be out of work because of your debt and anyway, there aren’t any jobs to be had.

And what about that debt? If you didn’t want it you could have chosen not to go to college! It’s your own fault! Except… you probably decided to go to college as a teenager after a whole life of being raised in the idea that it was right and good and necessary for success. You probably didn’t have a realistic idea of what your other options were at the time (if you really did have any other options). Maybe your parents even pushed it, though lord knows you weren’t rich. And maybe it turns out you did need that degree, just to get your foot in the door of the glorious world of low-or-no paying entry level skilled labor jobs. Welcome. Enjoy.

Because that’s the thing. The thing they never want to talk about or admit. Our choices are constrained. Sometimes they are constrained quite deliberately. Sometimes they are just constrained by the nature of the field and the players. Limited options to begin with, imperfect knowledge of what those options are, imperfect understanding of what those options are going to mean, in real terms, five or ten or twenty years down the road.

I remember going to the Financial Aid department at my college. I had this naive idea that they were there to work with me and, well, aid me in paying for school. Silly now, I know. I didn’t know about all the options out there. I didn’t know about things like Pell grants. I had done research, but I just hadn’t come across them. And no one let me know, either. They steered me straight into private loans.

My worst one has the same interest rate as my credit card. But back then, I’d never had a credit card before either. I’d never paid on an interest bearing loan. Today I’d take one look at the numbers on that contract and run screaming, but back then? I just didn’t know what I needed to in order to make the best decision. I had to rely on the adults around me for guidance, and we see how that’s worked out.

Quite frankly we shouldn’t be expecting young people to be able to make the perfect right decision when they lack a lot of meaningful experience about the world. Especially at that age, even a very little time to experience things can make a world of difference. 23 year old me would have made much better decisions about loans than 18 year old me did, and 28 year old me has gotten a lot better at this money thing than 23 year old me was.

And the really perverse thing is that we’ve set up a system that allows and even encourages young people to make decisions —possibly mistakes, that will hamstring —possibly ruin their lives for decades to come. What kind of a society does that? Should the goal be to equip young people to succeed instead?

Why do even we have such a system?

Why isn’t there a consistent, mandatory curriculum of what it’s going to be like in real terms to deal with your finances as an adult? Using examples that students will relate to, examples that they will grasp as impacting their lives.

Why don’t financial aid departments have an affirmative, legal obligation to find non-massively-endebtening method for a student before referring them along to private loan companies?

Why aren’t non-college options like apprenticeships covered more and covered more positively?

Why can’t we get some more paid apprenticeships even for post-college careers instead of these bullshit internship programs?

Why the fuck aren’t student loans not covered by bankruptcy?

Why does school cost so much in the first place?

Reading through my dashboard makes me glad I popped over to tumblr this morning, because it’s reminding me that I’m not alone. It’s like someauthorgirl said last week, facebook is where we all present our put-together grown-up faces, and then tumblr is where we peel back the facade and show the messiness underneath.
