Sorry, Taco Bell, but I’m gonna have to maintain that your fried-chicken-wrapped-around-food is not a taco. 

A taco is kind of like a sandwich. You wrap a bendable, carb-y food around relatively messy food, or small bits of food, to make the food easier to eat. To that end, your outer shell has to be something easy to touch, i.e. not horribly hot and not greasy. A chicken strip is not an easy surface to touch. I mean, I’m sure your thing tastes good, but it’s not a taco any more than two chicken patties with lettuce between is a sandwich. 

A sandwich, for this purpose, is two pieces of carb-y food with largely non-carb food between them, intended to make the non-carb food easy to eat tidily. 

A hamburger is a sandwich. A sloppy joe is a bad sandwich due to its messiness.

If it’s one piece of carb folded around the other food, or a stiff carb baked into a folded shape, it’s a taco. 

Hot dogs are not tacos because the hinge of the bread is very thin and not required. 

If the carb is folded around enough to cross over itself, that’s a wrap. 

If it’s a wrap full of things like meat and beans, with Mexican or Mexican-inspired flavors, it’s a burrito.

here is a thing no one ever tells you about lesbian relationships: Boobs Are A Lot, you are constantly stopping proceedings to pick them up and wodge them into a better position, you are constantly bickering over whose go on top of whose when you are cuddling face to face, there’s a lot of sudden pauses in conversation until one of you goes “wait a minute” and undulates quietly until you have achieved perfect boobular equilibrium.

So I just had the shit creeped out of me.

I’m not someone who believes in ghosts, but I was sitting in my room, alone and in the dark, and I heard the strings of my violin being softly plucked. 

My violin is hanging on the wall several feet away. 

So I gathered my courage, grabbed my phone, and used the camera light to investigate. 

And found this.

A goddamn spider was playing my violin. Not even joking. The little shit.

I think I’d have preferred a ghost….

So anyway…. *tiny incoherent cough exhumes from spider* Here’s Wonderwall.

bwa ha ha ha

I hesitated before posting, but I bet I know what’s going on here. The plucking was pretty rhythmic, right?

Male spiders pluck the webs of female spiders in a pattern to determine if the female is interested.

That spider was trying to mate with your violin…

Ahh so it’s a boy(I just assume every insect I see is a girl) that’s such a cute mating ritual!

He just wants love!

The behavior would indicate that it is a male. Only females weave webs. Male spiders have to be careful not to be mistaken for prey and eaten, so they pluck the web. Poor thing didn’t exactly get any this time!

Poor spider thinking “Damn this web was made by a strong spider, a real awesome spider, can I possibly get with this boss ass spider??”

poor little hyperion, dreaming of the moon

“hello, I am not food, are you looking for romance or should I leave in order to continue not being food?”

rdj kissing josh brolin on the lips is such a power move. the man doesn’t give a single fuck. he’s the male protagonist archetype of this century but he will kiss as many guys as he pleases because he can and there’s nothing hollywood can do about it

i love how the media has rdj as this manly hetero Man Of Iron™ but he lives on a diferent dimension where sexuality is whatever the fuck he wants it to be. he will kiss man and women as he pleases. he will dress in pink and yellow and not give a single fuck.

MIRA–

Y SU FAVORITO–

robert has always not given a single fuck for people’s views in what he should wear and how openly affectioned he can be with men. he’s not here for fragile masculinity and heterosexuality. he will continue to kiss, hug and shower them all with love.

I wonder if running away is just a blue gem thing to do when they get overcome with emotion.

Because Lapis tends to do that (a lot) for various reasons.

It seems like Blue Diamond has been neglecting her duties and mostly hanging out at the Human Zoo due to her grief over Pink.

And now it looks like it’s gonna be Sapphire’s turn.

Well, yeah, otherwise the buildings get flooded in tears.

“wouldn’t you rather earn something than have it just handed to you?”

Yeah when it comes to actual awards and fancy goods, but when it comes to basic needs, basic human decency, and accomodations, those things should always be handed to people. No one should have to “earn” those things.Value people as people, not base it on how much they produce. 

yeah but that creates a severe dependency that could be exploited easily, and creates a slippery slope @musical-clarity

Actually studies show that people who live in places with universal income (who are given money with no strings attached just for being citizens) do far better work than those who don’t and are more enthusiastic to do work.

This is because they still want nice things and will work for those but the part of their energy that was devoted to worrying about if they have enough money to pay the rent and bills this month is now freed up to do other things.

Some people will always be lazy and take advantage of the system, but they are always a tiny percentage and it seems ridiculous to me to punish the majority and severly hamstring their abilities just because a handful of people will simply live of basic income rather than work.

It’s been tested a couple times. In Canada, in some European countries, and the results are always the same.

There are two groups of people who show a statistically significant (Greater than one half of one percent, or 1 in 200) increase in Not Working and living off the guaranteed income. Parents of Children under school age, and full time students.

Among ALL other groups, employment actually INCREASED. Why? Because guaranteed minimum income means that homeless people can get at least a basic low end apartment. It’s hard if not impossible to get an above board job without a permanent fixed address. Also more people were able to have and maintain a BANK ACCOUNT. It is often hard to get a decent job without an account that can accept Direct Deposit for paychecks.

Also, lost work time due to illness and injury decreased across the board. It turns out if people are getting a decent amount of money each month they can A> afford to eat better, and B> obtain decent medical attention both preventative and emergency. Crazy right?

So why hasn’t it caught on?

Because it doesn’t directly benefit the people in power, and it increases THEIR PERSONAL taxes, their CORPORATE TAXES, and thus decreases their PERSONAL INCOME.

So, because Jeff Bezos and Alan Greenspan might fall from making 100 billion dollars a year to making 99.8 billion dollars a year, it’s a hard NO and we can all fucking die..

The End.

Is mythiass suggesting that we should avoid people becoming dependent on food?
