I think I may be asexual… I’m confused about what it all means though, its so hard to find info. All I know is I don’t have any interest in having a sexual partner, or even a romantic one for that matter, and no one understands why. But, I do have sexual feelings? And also sometimes those feelings are for people? But the desire to act on it is what i feel is missing? I hope this makes any sense at all. I guess what I’m asking is, what defines asexuality? Do I sound ace, or just broken?

cliffnotesofanerd:

You don’t sound broken at all. “Ace” is a sort of umbrella term to indicate lack of sexual attraction *to people,* not lack of sexual drive or desire. There is a spectrum of this lack, as well, going from absolutely no attraction to “I’m ace in most ways, but it’s complicated.” And that’s okay. It can be frustrating to try and explain, even to yourself, and that’s okay, too.

You are not broken. You may not have the exact word for it, but it’s not broken. I promise.

Look up autochorissexuality. It’s a facet of asexuality, characterized by a disconnect from the object of one’s sexual interest.

Basically, people and various works of fiction can be hot, and you may or may not experience arousal, but you don’t actually want to go and have sex with them. You may or may not eventually have and enjoy sex, and you may or may not masturbate. Brains are a bit odd, and sometimes things change, but it’s OK if they don’t.

I’m autochorissexual, and I find some people hot, but it’s almost always fictional characters. If/when I think about sexy things, it’s with two fictional people doing things, I don’t ever think about myself with other people. I don’t have any interest in sex for myself, physical or mental. I’ve run into some other people online who also do that. Your experiences may vary, though. 

Someone who doesn’t experience romantic attraction is aromantic. It’s a thing too. 

Whatever your experiences regarding sexuality, you aren’t broken. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right word to describe yourself, and sometimes there isn’t really any one right word. That’s OK. It’s also OK for those things to change, and it’s OK for them not to change. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. 

How Much Can Kill You?

eccentric-nae:

pr1nceshawn:

Water – 

Everyone has heard that they should drink 2 liters of water every day. But if you drink 3 times as much, your kidneys will not be able to process this much liquid and get it out of your system. The result can be internal organ and brain edema and respiratory arrest. 

Coffee – 

Half an ounce of caffeine is believed to be a lethal dose. It is approximately 113 coffee cups (of 250 ml). It is worth mentioning that in this case, a person would probably die not from the caffeine overdose but water intoxication: 113 cups are actually almost 30 liters of water. So if you don’t eat coffee beans or mouthfuls of instant coffee, you are safe.

Chocolate – 

Chocolate contains a small amount of theobromine. This alkaloid is a powerful agent that stimulates the central nervous system. But if you ate 22 lb of chocolate in one sitting, it could lead first to nausea and diarrhea, then an epileptic fit, then internal bleeding, cardiac infarction, and finally death.

Alcohol – 

For a healthy man, a deadly dose would be 1.25 liters of 40% alcohol (approximately 27 shots of 45 ml each). But it will happen only if the man finishes this amount within one hour and does not throw up.

Cigarettes – Taking into account that each standard cigarette contains approximately 0.8 mg of nicotine, 75 cigarettes can blow you to kingdom come.

Marijuana – Things are slightly different with marijuana. The fatal dose is 1,500 lb, smoked within 15 minutes or 48 lb eaten at one time. And you probably won’t enjoy it at all. Not even Snoop Dogg can do that.

Apple Seeds – 

You won’t die from eating 18 apples. But if you take out the seeds from those 18 apples, smash them to pieces, chew them thoroughly, and swallow them, then there is a possibility that you will die because apple seeds contain cyanide. 

Bananas – 

Bananas contain potassium, an overdose of which can lead to death. But for this to happen, you would have to eat 400 bananas in one sitting.

Oranges – 

To die from an orange overdose, you would need to eat 11,000 oranges in one sitting.

Salt –

The everyday norm of salt is approximately 0.1 oz. A lethal dose of salt is 9 oz in one sitting (approximately 48 teaspoons). If someone decides to choose this way to commit suicide, it will be a truly regretful choice because the death would be agonizing (from a lot of enemas) and long.

Sugar – 

The fatal dose of sucrose is 5 oz per pound of your body weight. This means that a man would need to eat 55 lb of sugar in one go, which equals approximately 500 teaspoons

Toothpaste –

Theoretically, you would need to eat 24 tubes of toothpaste to get to the afterlife. 

Appleseeds and bananas are more lethal than weed. Fuck anybody who ever says anything about weed ever again.

Forget bananas, WATER is more lethal than weed.

Pugs are not cute

Pugs are not cute.
Pugs are malformed, inbred, sick animals that should never have existed.

(Above: pug and wolf skulls. Note the shallow eye sockets, crowded, protruding teeth, and short snout in the pug.)

  • Dogs pant to cool themselves. As pugs have practically no snouts, they have trouble cooling their bodies and they can suffer from organ failure as a result.
  • Pugs are often unable to breathe properly due to their short snouts and compact breathing passages. This inhibits their ability to do things that dogs like best – running, chasing things, playing.
  • Pugs suffer from a mangled jaw from which their teeth grow in all directions.
  • Because of the distorted shape of their skulls, their eyes commonly pop out of their heads. 60% of prolapsed eyes become blind. Eyes put back in the skull are prone to infection and the dog may need treatment for the rest of their life.
  • Their eyes are also prone to swelling painfully, becoming scratched, and being irritated by their eyelashes.
  • When excited, pugs are prone to getting fluid stuck in their throats, making them choke or gasp for breath. This is given the cutesy nick name “reverse sneezing”. [video]
  • As it can be difficult for pugs to exercise, they are prone to obesity.
  • Some pugs are born with their nostrils pinched almost shut, making it impossible for them to live without an operation.
  • The wrinkles on their faces will become infected without constant, careful cleaning by their caretaker.
  • About 64% of pugs suffer from hip dysplasia (malformed hip sockets) which causes crippling lameness and painful arthritis.
  • Pugs have a genetic weakness to demodectic mange (a pretty nasty skin condition caused by mites).
  • Their curled tail makes them susceptible to hemivertibrae – misshapen backbones which cause spine bending and instability, neurological disorders, back leg paralysis, incontinence, and pain.
  • Pugs are so inbred that a study of ten thousand pugs in the UK had the genetic makeup of only 50 individuals. Inbreeding means that defective genes are more likely to be expressed and passed on to offspring.
  • Necrotizing meningoencephalitis (brain swelling) is common among pugs. Dogs with this condition usually die within a few weeks. 

I am so sick of seeing pugs being celebrated.
Their small, squashed skulls, facial wrinkles, curled tails, and protruding eyes are actually valued when these characteristics are a cruelty in themselves.

Pugs are charming, sweet, funny little souls and they don’t deserve the bodies humanity has designed for them.

Stop celebrating pugs.
Stop buying pugs.

let’s celebrate retro pugs instead

responsible breeders decided they liked the temperament but the health issues were a nightmare, so they fixed them, they bred them out

it’s retro as in before the muzzle was bred out

and look at them

the one on the left is a retromop and the one on the right is a (elderly) pug

they’re healthier, live longer and have all the pug benefits with none of the usual health issues because of the deformed skull

they have longer legs

making exercise easier, and yet maintained most of the pug looks, and yes, they have the pug grin

want a pug – get a retropug or retromop, a healther, happier, and possibly cheaper option

even though I love pugs, it’s important that people know this 

Retromops are where it’s at friend.  Keep 100% of the pug charm with 0%of the terrible unhealthy inbred deformity. 

Retropugs still have some issues, just way fewer issues.

Thor deleted scene

#weeping #if u don’t like thor i don’t like u

WHY WAS THIS DELETED.

I love how Thor learns to interact by watching and listening. Look at that last gif. She is showing acceptance and appreciation to him by touching his arm, so he reciprocates! Because he appreciates her too.

Also, he knows he did something that was culturally inappropriate and asks for permission to return to the restaurant instead of just assuming that replacing the cup made it okay.
