This is my favorite era

Similarly, when I’m counting stuff I always do

Group of 3 Group of 3 Group of 4

Okay that’s 10

Rinse repeat.

It just works very well for me to count lots of things very quickly and easily. I can easily see what a group of 3 or 4 looks like so the whole process is super fast.

I used to like it a lot… As a kid… As I’ve grown it seems more focused on being incredibly in the middle than ever actually making any sort of point…

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are just so incredibly "Enlightened Centrist* that it can be painful at times.

They have some good bits and some of their jokes have rightfully stood the test of time… But God damn… If you’re going to make a political show… Do something other than the most fence sitting thing possible!

Edging?

I specifically included the outside and censored it because I felt the Facebook context added to it.

Just posting this meme on its own doesn’t nearly have the effect if you don’t know it was posted by a middle aged person.

Nah

This is a very US centric joke.

All communities that I moderate (on my .world account) and all pretty inactive. I’d love to see more cropped memes!!!

Intent doesn’t really matter if the entire butt of the joke is that this person is asking like a “lesser” group.

Even if intent did matter… How would a passive observer be able to tell if the person meant it or not? You really can’t without knowing both parties involved, their history together, and if that person regularly does similar styles of joke.

It’s easier to just pick a different word to insult someone’s intelligence instead of one that’s designed to hurt a specific group of people.

The main issue that seems to be the disconnect is simply that you are using the word as an insult.

Calling someone unintelligent is fine (I feel at least) but specifically using words that are associated with disabled people as an insult towards abled people is blatantly putting one group on top of the other.

The insult in that case cuts both ways. The person you are directly talking to is insulted because they are acting like a “lower group” and you’re also insulting the entire group by saying they are inherently lesser.

You can not use a group of people as an insult without inherently viewing that group as insult worthy.

This is a parody of Boomer memes.

The classic meme goes “not a phone in sight. Just people enjoying the moment”. This is a play on that by swapping the words and romanticizing phones instead.

For a short time I held the record for being the youngest person alive.

Some tutorials on YouTube are a LOT better than others and I’ve found some to just be terrible.

Different methods for paper making give very different results and despite the good method being easy… It’s not the one that people seem to think of when they first start?

If any tutorial tells you to put the pulp on the mould and deckle itself… Do not listen… Put it into the vat with the water and let it settle… If you put it on the mould and deckle manually it won’t be level and it’ll be bumpy and way thicker than you want it to be.

Another fun bit though is that you can experiment with the actual paper itself. Ever wanted paper that glitters? Just throw glitter in with the pulp. Want blue paper? Due the pulp blue. Want paper thats better for certain art vs others? There are loads of organic additives you can put in that change the properties without removing the recycled nature of the project.

If you have a 3D printer you can even make 3D molds to put excess pulp into and make cups and such.

I love this so much

I recently got deep into making paper!

It’s relatively simple, relaxing, and has a lot of repetitive tasks that take a while… So it’s been fantastic for reading audiobooks! I also get to recycle old paper and cardboard instead of putting it into a bin and hoping that it’s dealt with.

Every single piece of equipment can be made by hand for cheap though honestly I highly recommend a blender and a tub. Both of which could be replaced with hand made things but like… Why would you want to spend hours beating recycled paper to a pulp which you could put it into a blender for a little bit while doing something else.

It’s also great for my debilitating RSD because even though it requires a specific touch to be gained… Every step except for literally the very last one can be repeated at any point with no downside.

If the pulp isn’t blended right… Blend it more… If the deckle is unevenly covered… Just put it back in the water… Etc etc

I really think more people should do recycling stuff in general but this has been fantastic.

Gay Icon

Notably… I’m actually the one sending every one of those.

There’s an icon next to the message that means “sent” on the app.

Overall the apps UI is horrible though so it’s not a surprise people are confused.

There should be
