Hey guys, before you get angry at the submitter for ‘fat-shaming’ a sim, bare in mind that she is wearing a revealing bathing suit walking down the street.

Not at any point did the submitter imply ‘haha this sim is fat and wearing a bathing suit’.

Thank you.

Oh, I know!  This is actually slut shaming.  You know, shaming a computer program (specifically one with the ‘insane’ trait, which totally propagates negative stereotypes about mental illness.)

HEY, GUYS?  NONE OF THIS IS REAL.  IT IS A GAME.  SOMETIMES I WORRY.

I subsist on Rice Krispies and Coke because I’m too afraid of my boyfriend’s parents. My boyfriend too, the crabby butt.

there’s a huge difference between being caucasian and being white

like you can have white skin and be the baddest little fucker out there but if you’re white then you just

And if you’re from the region of the world known as the Caucasus, then you’re probably caucasian.  I personally disagree with the word being used to mean “white” as it’s really just… well, not accurate.  Sure, some indigenous people there are white, some aren’t.

I. There are twenty amino acids, twenty different
organic compounds that make up
every single living thing
(and many things that are dead.)

If you had to point out a set
of “building blocks,” break life down
like a child arranging their Legos,
you’d probably start here:

twenty different symbols which,
run together, look very much like
code, the code that computer scientists
speak in; if only they knew what delicate
programming had gone into
the making of their skin,

I think, they’d look more favorably
on the softer sciences. Our helixes
and sheets of carbon know no math,
care nothing for data.

II. It was Sagan who said first that we
are starstuff, that the nitrogen and oxygen
in our bodies descended from
the sky like the last gasp of
a dying god.

The amino acids prove him right.
Slide twelve together and they
link atoms, amine to carboxyl,
pushing aside water, seeking balance,
forming from their
arbitrarily assigned code names
a glimmer of sense.

Disgusting 1894 Recipes, REALLY OLD DEAD PEOPLE

lazybookreviews:

Yeah, I was going to just do one 1894 post a day, but then I wanted to share some more, and I was all, WAIT, I’m SELF-INDULGENT, I’m not just lazy, you know?  So, suck it!

One would assume the following recipes were meant to overcome the GREAT SHELLFISH SHORTAGE OF 1894, but, apparently, these chicks just couldn’t cook for shit.

Mock Crab - A quarter of a pound of cheese, grated, a yolk of one hard-boiled egg, a little cayenne pepper, a little salt, half a mustard-spoonful of mustard, a little vinegar, and a tablespoon of salad oil; mix to a paste well, then spread between brown biscuits.

Shrimp Sandwich - Mix to a paste as many hard-boiled egg yolks as you require, with their weight in butter, add shrimp essence to taste, a little mustard, pepper and cayenne to taste, and put between slices of fried bread.

Anchovy Toasts are simply thin slices of fried toast spread with a thin layer of anchovy paste, sprinkled with grated yolk of hard-boiled egg, and are delicious.

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?:

1.  Honestly?  If you’re using something called “shrimp essence,” I would want more exacting measurements for ingredients than “to taste.”  Clearly, your taste is not to be trusted.

2.  What is a mustard-spoonful of mustard?  ARE YOU LEWIS CARROLL?

3.  I do miss recipes that call for “their weight in butter.”

4.  Here’s an 1894 recipe for you:  fried bread, butter, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, vague fishy flavor.  COMBINE, SERVE, FIND HUSBAND.
