  • The Internet Archive is, and I really want to emphasize this, Fucking Huge. If you want to help archive it, every upload has an associated torrent you can download and help seed. Torrenting itself isn’t illegal, only torrenting illegal stuff like copyrighted movies. You can buy a relatively cheap refurbished HDD of whatever size you want, set up qBittorrent, and torrent the uploads that you want to make sure are available even if the Internet Archive has to take them down or has a critical data loss failure.









  • The only thing more pointless is our PERFECTLY SPHERICAL ORBS, NOW HALF OFF IF YOU BUY TWO! BUT WAIT, THERES MORE! IF YOU CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN NOW, WE’LL THROW IN A LIMITED EDITION BONUS STAND TO HOLD YOUR ORB! THATS RIGHT, IF YOU CALL NOW YOU WILL GET TWO ORBS AND TWO STANDS FOR THE PRICE OF JUST ONE! CALL 1-800-PONDER AND ORDER YOUR TWO PONDERING ORBS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

    disclaimer perfectly spherical pondering orb incorporated does not guarantee increased ponderance, seer abilities, or supernatural powers. perfectly spherical pondering orbs are only fda approved for looking at to ponder. do not look at the sun through perfectly spherical pondering orb. do not drop perfectly spherical pondering orb. do not leave perfectly spherical pondering orb in reach of a child. this ad is brought to you by raid shadow legends.



  • This is the argument I see to defend use of the word and I’ve never understood it. Where I am (west coast-ish of the US), the word is used very specifically to mean autistic. If you ask someone not to say retard, they say autistic instead. If you ask them not to say autistic, they say special education. If not that, slow. If not that, someone who takes the short bus. Unambiguously the people here use the r slur as a slur against autistic people. They use it as an insult towards allistic people to degrade them as lesser. Same as calling a straight person the f slur. Maybe it’s different in other parts of the country, but the r slur is absolutely used as a slur against autistic people where I am.







  • Btw fun fact I made this entirely in mspaint. Making the gradient was obnoxious since there’s no actual gradient tool in mspaint (maybe the fancy new woke windows 11 version does but I’m on windows 10 where mspaint doesn’t have “layers” or “text editing” or other fake nonsense). I made this meme in proper mspaint like god intended.
