my favorite Millennial Thing™ is when a group of us are standing around and talking and someone asks a question that no one knows the answer to and suddenly it’s a race to get out your phone and google it and be the first to know, and then someone starts reading the Wikipedia article about the thing aloud to everyone else, and what started as a casual conversation is now A Learning Opportunity and we all walk away a little more knowledgeable about a random topic
Like, Boomers hate when we do that, but I think it’s one of the best things about us.
So long as we have internet or a cell signal, all of the world’s collective knowledge is at our fingertips, and damned if we aren’t going to use it.
1. Gen X people did this a lot, but without having the internet on our phones, it was mostly us standing around drinking slippery nipples and wondering how the television worked.
2. All the Boomers I know are OBSESSED with using their phones to use the Google.
3. Even my Greatest Generation grandma appreciated the Google, even if she used, so to speak, a taxi (me) to travel on the Information Superhighway.
4. All librarians I have ever known, from 22-yr old Baby Librarians to Eldritch Geezer Cthulu Librarians love the information internet, and are so happy you can get it on your phone (please save the library terminals for people who can’t afford smartphones, okay?)
5. Why is this being framed as a divisive, generational thing, when virtually everyone I have ever met loves online search engines, wikis, and archives? (Maybe not the Google since they’ve stopped not being evil? But you get my point.)
TLDR: Using the Wikipedia or the JSTOR or (less evil) search engines is a cross-generational win.

well ok???? here’s me next to the entrance to my apartment??? why the heck would i lie about my height??? I DON’T ENJOY BUMPING MY HEAD INTO EVERYTHING JUST BECAUSE THE WORLD IS BUILT FOR HOBBITS
My life is just a constant journey to seek warmth. No metaphor. I mean like coats and jackets. Getting under the sheets and standing under heat lamps. Soup.
i love prince eric. from the little mermaid. he’s hilarious. because he seems like one of the most mild-mannered and unassuming princes in the disney canon, but he is also one of the few to actively kill the bad guy. most disney villains die by consequence of the final battle but are not directly killed by the hero/heroine. most of them fall to their deaths or cause their own demise, and sometimes the hero is indirectly responsible because they’ll launch them into that direction or something, but they still don’t bring knife to heart directly.
but then a couple do. and prince eric is my fave out of those few because up until the final act, he is the most chill motherfucker u ever seen. like he is quick to spring to action during the storm scene n stuff, but otherwise? he’s really quiet n sensitive and runs along the beach playing the flute for his big shaggy dog n he smiles like a lil nerd and gets all cute around ariel and he’s so sweet n everything.
AND THEN IN THE FINAL BATTLE THAT MOTHERFUCKER STRAIGHT UP DRIVES A SHIP THROUGH URSULA LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! NO WONDER NO ONE IS TRYIN TO LAY SIEGE TO HIS KINGDOM!! ALL THE NEIGHBOURS ARE LIKE “HOLY SHIT DON’T GO THERE! PRINCE ERIC IS A BEAST! HE’LL STRAIGHT UP DRIVE A BOAT THROUGH YOUR BITCH!”
i love him
At the beginning of the movie Prince Eric, without hesitation, jumps into the ocean, in the middle of a storm, and climbs onto a ship that’s on fire, all to rescue his dog.
Then when he’s convinced some mystery woman saved him, he starts looking for her just to thank her. On his way, he meets some mute naked teenage girl who can’t even walk or dress herself, confirms that she’s not the girl he’s looking for, then brings her to stay at his castle anyway, for no particular reason.
No one questions this, just like they don’t question when he shows up three days later with a mysterious woman one morning and says he’s getting married that same day. At said wedding, several witnesses see his fiance turn into a sea monster, which he then murders by piloting a submerged ship pulled up from the bottom of the ocean straight into her.
A week later, he marries the mute girl and the god of the sea himself rises from the ocean to give his blessings. Again, no one questions this.
I’m convinced that Eric had to have done some crazy insane stunts on a regular basis, cause despite him being so chill and relaxed normally, no one bats an eyelash at any of his ridiculous decisions or incredible feats during the course of the film. Clearly they’re all used to it, and rumours of him marrying an ocean princess would only dissuade potential enemies of his country even further.
Pre war Bucky was a gay icon who protected closeted lesbians by picking them up for dates to avoid their parents suspicion and then taking them to hang out with their girlfriends (but staying close enough that he could punch the daylights out of any fucko who tried to harass them). This is canon.

!!!!
I really hate when people make up headcanons and state them as fact. This was a double date in the movie.
shut the fuck up you boring ass nerd
It was a double date, Steve and Bucky were on a date, as were the lesbians
And is those are too Looney Leftist for you, here’s Fox Business
Rape culture isn’t always obviously about sexism or misogyny.
It’s also supporting abusive assholes over their victims, no matter who they’re abusing or how. They somehow cannot practice intelligence and compassion at the same time, if they ever show any compassion that doesn’t come with a tax deduction, yet people make excuses for them being abusive assholes. Refuse to believe they could ever act maliciously or do wrong. Usually solely because they’re rich, ‘cuz that must mean they’re super smart and irreplaceable :O
Bullshit. NO ONE is irreplaceable in tech or innovation. If it takes a whole lab to figure out the same work that one toxic asshole figured out alone, so be it, but it WILL get done. Even the unfinished work of the actual Nikola Tesla will be completed eventually (like, when “can the already-rich investors regulate the results and profit on them?” stops being a barrier to real progress.)
The only irreplaceable person is one who dies before their time. The only irreplaceable worker is one who is crippled out of working in their field–especially when that field is labor–and for no fucking reason but some rich white asswipe’s greed.
Fuck Musk and Bezos and Zuckerman and anyone else like them. They’re neither gods nor heroes.
They’re cancers on humanity, destroying the vital systems that keep the whole alive, and in Musk’s case, for what? Electronic toys that only the super-rich can afford, anyway.
