This couldn’t be a more obvious portent if it fell from the sky on a clear day.

The whole thing says “Who once saw me wept. Who sees me now will weep.”

WELL THAT’S NOT CREEPILY RELEVANT OR ANYTHING

The notes on this post acting like this never happens piss me off so fucking much if I got like 5 dollars every time some dude told me I need to smile more when I’m just walking around minding my own business id be able to retire. Bitch I’m not out here to entertain dudes who want a pretty smile 24 7 from strangers fuck off it gets tired real fast

I think my most infuriating experience with this was when I was rushing through a metro station trying to get to a class and I heard a guy behind me say, “Excuse me, miss?” I turned around because that’s the kind of thing that is usually followed by “Your bag is open” or “You dropped your wallet” or something equally important. Instead he said, “Where is your smile at?” I didn’t respond. Fortunately I didn’t miss the train.

I aspire to develop a resting bitch face so terrifying that no one would even dare to tell me I should be smiling.

You grow up and you realise A Bug’s Life was the revolutionary Leftist masterpiece of our childhoods

I’m not even slightly kidding

Ants are the workforce doing the labour needed to survive, and they have to do it twice over to provide for both themselves and for a group of parasites who do nothing but consume the labour of others

The ants work themselves near to death trying to stay afloat

The grasshoppers don’t even need any food. They have tons

to spare but still insist on taking the food the ants worked for because they ‘deserve’ it, despite actually contributing nothing of value. The only reason this works is by threatening ants with force and degrading them so they feel weak and worthless, and insisting that the grasshoppers deserve a cut for some vague service they claim to provide to society

In reality Hopper is desperate to stop the ants from thinking for themselves, keeping them ignorant of the fact that he has subjugated ants through threats of power while the ants actually overpower the grasshoppers through sheer numbers.

And should the ants ever realise that the grasshoppers take from them while providing nothing and that revolution is possible, the class system they’ve installed will be finished.

tl;dr feed the 1% to birds

remember when pixar was like… this

Also that grasshopper is Kevin Spacey which makes the bird eating him 👍👍👍👍

“One must respect the game”, but when is French Open going to respect Serena?!

Serena Williams doesn’t respect tennis? Fuck, man, she IS tennis at this point.

Misogynoir + Ableism

Let’s have a new tournament. The Venus Serena Open. Fuck them.

The last two comments. Like at this point shouldn’t ‘the game’ be respecting Serena Williams and not the other way around?

She’s literally one of the greatesf athletes (not just tennis players but ATHLETES) of all time.

If you add two pounds of sugar to literally one ton of concrete it will ruin the concrete and make it unable to set properly which is good to know if you wanna resist something being built, French anarchists used this to resist prison construction in the 80s

I’m just gonna go ahead and reblog this for purely educational purposes.

added bonus is that concrete now taste good

Sugar does not really do that.

What you need is citric acid (you get that to get the hard water residues out of your pots/water boiler/washing machine), looks like sugar granules.

Or concentrated vinegar.

Cement needs a high ph to bind properly.
So if you add acid, it won’t properly set and/or needs 3-4 times longer.

Speaking as someone who works in the concrete forming industry: the easiest way to severely fuck up any large concrete pour is to delay it at the wrong moment.

If someone is trying to build a huge fuckoff concrete thing – say, for instance, a giant wall – they’re going to need an obscene quantity of concrete, and that’s all going to have to be transported there from the nearest mixing plant. This means they’ll have multiple trucks coming by to decant concrete in consecutive pours while the workers place it and vibrate it to ensure it all intermixes and sets properly, forming a monolithic mass. If one pour is allowed to set before the next one is added, you get a big, ugly, possibly structurally unsound gap between the two called a “cold joint.” A bad enough cold joint can completely fuck your whole project because the next engineer or inspector who sets foot on that site is going to take one look at that motherfucker and immediately embark on a quest for blood vengeance. You will literally have to cut that whole section of wall out, slap some dowels in the nearest structurally sound bits, and re-form and pour the offending segment from scratch, which represents a fortune in cost overruns and will make everyone involved very upset. This is an especially bad problem in hot climates, because the concrete curing process is exothermic – that stuff sets much faster when it’s really hot out, and its 28-day compressive strength tends to be poorer as well.

So if, hypothetically speaking, you wanted to completely shit up a wannabe dictator’s enormous unfeasible poured concrete vanity project, you could literally just randomly hassle and delay every concrete truck on its way there. Dude’s gonna end up with a giant worthless pile of shitty crumbling concrete and exposed reinforcing steel, and an army of pissed-off contractors to boot.

reblogging for purely educational purposes nothing more

This is fascinating!
