I’m not tech savvy enough to know how to turn things into a gif, but Alda sees his muffin top in the mirror, squishes it and then decides to cover it up with his boxers. Very funny scene, sorry I can’t post the gif.

A whole lot of military films will be coming out soon. You'll see older ones showing up on streaming service and new ones soon to follow. Sure, a few are, in fact, very good movies. But here's the caution:

Any film featuring the US military is paid for by the US military. They have the final word on what comes out. These films are recruitment tools. Same applies to TV shows, and doubtless many will soon be showing up.

Do not be fooled by these films and shows. They are designed to bring in new recruits. When these are released, there is a surge in new people enlisting in the military. These recruits swiftly discover they were fed bullshit, but now they're stuck due to a contract. Going AWOL, away without leave, is desertion. You will be caught and put on trial for desertion, and they are not light with the sentencing.

Please, for the love of fuck, do not enlist with the military. You are cannon fodder. They do not care about you.

Recruiters are told to lie. To do whatever it fucking takes to enlist new people. Do not fucking fall for it.

These films and shows are recruitment tools paid for by the military. It's why they're so big, glamorous, and quickly made. Enjoy what you see, but don't sign up. It's a fucking lie.

The only military thing you should be watching is the M*A*S*H tv show– the whole point of the show was that war does absolutely nothing but destroy and it will only ever be this way.

This show was created explicitly as a protest of war, and to point out the futility and destruction of war.

There is no such thing as a justified war, there is no such thing as a good war.

There is no such thing as an honourable military, or government leaders who even care whether the millions of people they send out to die come home.

There is only exploitation, absurdity, destruction, murder, mental collapse, emotional and mental damage, physical damage and death.

Screenshot of a M*A*S*H script- Yankee Doodle Doctor. Peach background with Black manual typewriter font.   [begin] INT. POST_OP WARD- DAY Hawkeye stands near hte bed of a young GI, taking his pulse. An I.V. setup, etc., is in evidence. Hawkeye turns, addresses the camera:  Hawkeye: Three hours ago this man was in a battle-- two hours ago, we operated on him. He\'s got a fifty-fifty chance. We win some, we lose some. That\'s what it\'s all about... no promises, no guaranteed survival... no \'Saints in Surgical Garb.\' Our willingness, our experience, technique are not enough. Guns have more power to take life than we have ot preserve it. Not a very happy ending for a movie... but then.. (indicating hospital) no war is a movie.  WIDER ANGLE- Hawkeye moves to another bed. The picture FADES OUT.ALT

I tried posting the whole video, but videos aren’t allowed on RBs.

PS- PLEASE DO NOT FUCKING JOIN THE MILITARY. ANY MILITARY. WHATEVER THEY PROMISE YOU, WHATEVER THY OFFER– DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY. you are tissue paper to them, and they couldn’t care less how many pieces of tissue paper they go through.

I love we have two episodes where Hawkeye removed a healthy appendix. One where it is framed as the greater good and the right thing to do where he is completely backed up by Trapper, and even Flagg isn't all that bothered about the organ removal. He's kind of like: ah of course you removed my appendix to stop my scheme, makes complete sense (to be fair, it's Flagg, it probably would make sense to him).

And a second episode later where BJ is horrified when Hawkeye starts pushing for it. BJ argues that it goes against their Hippocratic oath and refuses to help. And Hawkeye goes through with it, but in the end is ashamed and the choppers coming in imply even if he prevented some casualties, cutting a healthy organ out of someone wasn't enough to prevent all of them. And whether you think Hawkeye was right or wrong, Hawkeye had to give up a piece of himself when he made that call.

Screenshot from linked Ken Levine website. Yellow background, black font.  [Begin] For example on MASH, if you watch real closely, after a couple of years (and this is especially true when new characters replaced the original), you can see where scripts are basically re-cycled, e.g. a situation occurs with Trapper and a few years later the same exact situation occurs with BJ and so on with Burns and Charles and other characters. Sometimes the role/words Hawkeye spoke to Trapper end up being the same (or virtually the same) or virtually identical are switched and BJ says them to Hawkeye, etc. etc. etc.  So my question is this: what\'s the shelf life of a TV show, how long do you think it lasts before it actually becomes redundant?  After five or six seasons every show starts showing its age. Sometimes recasting can add a freshness that keeps the show going for a few more years. And some shows that rely on a successful formula (like LAW & ORDER) seem to defy time and can go on forever.  But I’d say seven years is the magic number. Let’s see William Shakespeare come up with the 150th episode of Hamlet (and getting notes on the outlines from a network executive who just graduated from Sarah Lawrence).  The name of the MASH episode Just a Guy was referring to was Preventive Medicine from season seven. The story seemed very intriguing. The number of arriving wounded had increased because of one careless Colonel. Hawkeye slips him a mickey then to keep him from returning to the front removes his appendix. This was before malpractice suits and HMO’s, but there was still that pesky question of ethics. It created a nice debate between Hawkeye and BJ. We did a lot of rewriting on that episode, the cast was happy, we were happy, and they went off to the ranch to make it.  On Friday night David tuned in to the MASH rerun that CBS was airing at 11:45. After watching a few minutes he came upon a horrible discovery – IT WAS THE EXACT SAME SHOW THAT WE WERE FILMING. Identical. Same plotline, same argument. The only difference was it was better (no surprise there – Larry Gelbart vs. us).  We were mortified. I mean, it’s one thing to steal from other shows, but to steal from your own? We looked like a couple of blithering idiots. The amazing thing is that no one on the cast or crew caught it. And a lot of them were there for the original episode.  By the way, check out the first and last seasons of THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.  There are some episodes that are practically identical.   So we weren\'t alone.  Although that doesn\'t help.  I\'m still embarrassed. By By Ken Levine at 6:00 AM 32 comments :  [end]ALT

An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom

To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.

People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.

As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device. 

Questions? Contact Tumblr support or learn more about these changes here.

tigerator

all uk & brazilian citizens must forfeit their biometric information to third party overseas ai-driven for-profit corportions seeking to harvest and sell this data because, despite the fact we already banned porn, we need to stop you looking at your trans friend's blogs who we habitually mark as mature content because of deeply transphobic moderation that we refuse to address.

thanks.

icannotgetoverbirds

do we want this?

yes

no

round two of this bullshit i guess

oops i dropped a list of links sorry

fuck you tumblr

So to be 100% clear:

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

  • Notifications about missing persons and requests for help
  • Posts about youth liberation
  • Posts about sex education
  • Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented
  • Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr
  • Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems
  • Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content
  • Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not
  • Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr
  • Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual
  • And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

They did the same thing for my friend when he had top surgery. He brought his teddy and when he woke up, he and his teddy had bandages on.

This but with a teddy that matches bandages.

they also did this for my dog when he had his surgery they put a wee little cone on his teddy and wrapped the medical tape around where the needles would have gone in the paw nurses and doctors who do this make me happy whether it's animals or people congrats on your hysterectomy OP

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

Among other things if you can't use the legit market you turn to the black market anyway.

kelpforestdwellers

if you're worried about addiction, build a society where people get their basic needs met, including pain management.

#i also would prefer addicts be on prescription drugs that are exactly what they say they are#rathet than unregulated drugs which are full of who the fuck knows (tags via @shanastoryteller)
