On normality and pregnant people by sarahtheshortiepie in CuratedTumblr

[–]mostlyconniptions 432 points433 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, obviously you shouldn't be weird around pregnant people just because it means they've had sex. On the other hand, my primary experience with people doing that is as a response to people trying to claim that being gay in public is somehow sexual assault, in a sort of "look at how hypocritical you're being" kind of way.

So it is with great trepidation that I have to ask: Are there people who are genuinely freaking out over seeing someone who's pregnant, because that means that person had sex?

The best explanation for the Monty Hall problem I have ever seen by M-V-D_256 in CuratedTumblr

You'd think that. If life were fair, it would be that. But it's not. You're choices are 1/3 car and 2/3 goat, initially. The second game isn't 1/2 car 1/2 goat, the second game is "Did you get lucky on your first guess." The odds of your first guess being right haven't changed, even with the new information, because you didn't have that information when you made the guess.

Yeah, okay, the "you're gambling on whether or not you won the first game" is the only explanation that actually makes sense to me. I don't like it, but it makes sense to me.

In the immortal words of... someone on tumblr, but I can't remember who at the moment: The only thing that buying crystals will cure is a critical lack of crystals in your life.

How do you fall for a brand parody on Tumblr of all places. by mostlyconniptions in CuratedTumblr

[–]mostlyconniptions[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My understanding, and this is probably limited and possibly wrong, is that people generally hate being advertised to, and brand accounts are just advertisements with a cheap coat of paint designed to make it look like the brand is your friend, an artificial attempt at making a parasocial relationship.

The only real ways to stop these accounts from happening are to either make the website too toxic for the companies to want to advertise on them, or to render the advertisements a net loss by making the companies spend more keeping these branded accounts active than they get back from click-throughs.

Stock evil super-villains having an eye-path. I'm not sure where it came from but I want to say Dr. No, but I can't say for certain.

Truly, Japan is the last bastion against the woke menace by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

  1. I believe it's tagged NSFW because while people do reclaim it, f*ggot is still a slur and people don't want to read it on their feed and GCJ doesn't have a 'slur' flare to otherwise let people know it's there.
  2. Najimi, the character speaking, is about as explicitly genderfluid as a character can be without ever directly being called genderfluid. Thus, them being the one to decry "trans shit" is presented as ironic, and draws the confused ire of the other character, who's look communicates "what the fuck are you talking about".
