lmaoo i’m so sorry to anybody trying to learn this crap language
7 years of learning the language and I’ve moved over here only to realise school taught me nothing to help with understanding Thüringen dialect, which my girlfriend and her mother speak… it’s not Bayern or Schwaebisch so going from to Hoch Deutsch to Thüringen is comparatively not bad but they don’t speak slow…

Rules: tag at least five of your friends along with a gif that you feel represents you as a person. It can be from a series, movie or music video (basically any gif at all) - but there is one catch: you can’t use a gif from ANY fandom mentioned in your header/bio.
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

This is like Coca Cola saying “The world is getting too fat so we’re gonna stop making drinks with more than 20 calories in them” without realising that all of their whole company and image is drinks that have more than 20 calories! Or a supermarket not selling anything with sugar only to realise that fruits have natural sugar and all that’s left is one packet of leafy greens that is unappealing to almost everyone!
The moral of those analogies: BANNING EVERYTHING WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO YOU BANNING WHAT YOU ARE KNOWN FOR AND WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!
I speak for a lot of people when I say Tumblr, you fucked up! Very few people expect wholesome sfw content on Tumblr! A pornbot following you is annoying but kinda expected. That you can be and should be getting rid of! Everything nsfw? Nah, this ain’t it, fam…
As someone who reads, writes and watches NSFW content on Tumblr who is barely on here anyway, I won’t delete my accounts but I probably won’t be on here for months, I don’t even know if my other blogs with nsfw stuff will survive the cull. Now, you’re gonna lose a massive portion of your site traffic because people are gonna leave! Try selling a website or getting a sponser or company to buy advertising space on a website that lost all its users! You won’t get 10 cents for your domain name now!
I’m a sexual person, I’m very sex positive, a lot of my thoughts are sexually oriented and I take to Tumblr to discover different sexual attitudes and inspiration for those parts of my life. So by saying you’re sex positive and then that you’re banning anything NSFW is like a vegan going for a KFC bargain bucket after a ‘Meat is Murder’ protest at a slaughter house! You can’t have your cake and eat it too!
Anyone know any good sites for after December 17th?
Anybody else just go in the back and stand there, getting a couple minutes of blessed silence before going to tell the customer what they’re looking for isn’t in the back, which you already knew before even going back there?
I’ve worked in this supermarket for 3 years over various departments. We wilk always try to help but sometimes I admit to doing this because I’ve had a bad day/I’m tired and it’s almost home time/I’m not feeling well but I can’t take sick leave because I’m not paid it and I don’t want to start coughing up a lung in front of a customer and this give me a bit of time to get away from the shop floor. When I worked the store petrol station, we had a small back room full of mostly packs of drinks, sweets, our milk replenishment fridge and some really old car care lines we haven’t worked in ages and I could tell you exactly what we had in there so if we didn’t have it, I’d tell you there and then.
Now I work the butchery counter and I have one primal (large meat joints that we cut up for smaller joints) freezer and at most 4 sets of double stack wheels full of prepacked meat crates in the chiller. I can still tell you what I have an what I don’t have. We don’t get much extra stock sometimes and if you’re the on the set up shift, you work all the stock before organising any new stock relevant to my department.
But one thing you will always have (which pisses me off to no end) is customers who just ask if you have stuff but haven’t actually looked at the aisle at all. The only people I exclude from this category is the eldest because they might not have the best eyesight. This is targeted at those who aren’t disabled or impaired who won’t bother to look for something the second they see a store uniform in sight. “Do you have this?” “Yes I have this in the aisle, I’ll show you” “Oh, I didn’t think to look there” is a conversation I will have with someone every hour! Yesterday one lady walked straight to me (about half way down the only meat aisle in the whole store) and asked where our Lamb section was. She had walked right past it and hadn’t even turned her head because she was so determined to ask me! (I watched her walk towards me, you quickly recognise the type of people who always need staff help for the smallest things and keep track of them and she was one of them.)
If you ask us about it, some of us will happily make you look like an incompetent ejit because your head can’t move one degree to look at anything other than eye level straight ahead.
TL:DR: GO LOOK IN THE AISLE BEFORE YOU ASK STAFF! WE MAY KNOW OUR STOCK LEVELS BUT WE DON’T NEED TO BE ASKED ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO GO LOOK FOR YOURSELF!
Can someone please explain all the NateWantsToBattle egos to me? I know Natemare and Phantom but looking down these tags I’m seeing Heathen (from TOP - Heathens cover?), Sharper, Echo and Natelight, maybe some others I’ve missed… is Nate in Bones a new ego or a different version of Natemare? I’m still new and not well versed enough in the NWTB fandom to figure it out…
according to hetero dating law the girl shouldn’t pay for her meal which, logically, means that if two girls go on a date together nobody pays and they get everything for free but the catch is that they have to stand the whole time bc no one can pull out a chair
declan’s 8 year old cousin gabriel has come up with a perfect solution! yes, he admits, it’s true that in order for a date to be sufficiently romantic the man has to pay. when asked how best to preserve the romantic mood if two women go on a date, gabe suggests they simply get the attention of the nearest man and request he pay for their dinner. crowd-funded lesbianism, what a beautiful concept
reblogging this again for the crowd-funded lesbianism tbh
what happens when two guys go on a date?
they fight for the right to pay for the meal, and the losing male pays for the nearest lesbian date
so I’ve got this headcanon that Guardians of the Galaxy is really the Avengers playing a table top roleplaying game, where Bucky’s the DM who suffers through heaps and loads of trolling
Mostly from Steve
Especially from Steve
Which means Natasha was the one who sat down and wrote out the long, comprehensive backstory for her kickass space assassin Gamora, that Bucky keeps trying to work into the campaign but they keep getting sidetracked by –
Tony who just created what he sees himself as – the suave, wise-cracking space vagabond.
Thor who needed a lot of help building his character and decided on a couple easy to remember traits (Strong, honor, doesn’t get metaphors)
and Bruce who’s actually too busy to pay full attention so any time Bucky asks what he wants to do he just says “I am Groot” and lets Steve decide
Oh my god.
Headcanon accepted so hard
“We need to break out of this prison. Bucky, do I know anything about it?”
“Roll knowledge, Steve.”
“Seventeen.”
“From your years of experience and multiple prison escapes, you believe that if you can get one of the prison guard’s security bands to get into the watchtower, and one of the power cells to overload the security systems, you should be able to pull off an escape.”
“Perfect. Nat, you have sleight of hand trained, right?”
“Yes I do, Steve.”
“Alright, you get the wristband. Bruce, grab the power cell.”
“Yeah, sure, I am Groot.”
“Even in a board game, boy scout has to give the orders, huh?”
“Alright Tony, what’s-”
“Excuse me, my name Star Lord, thank you.”
“…Alright, Star Lord. What’s your plan?”
“Well…Bucky?”
“Knowledge, Tony.”
“…Four.”
“You’ve never been in prison before, so you have no idea. You think Rocket’s plan makes sense though.”
“Alright, fine. What do you want me to do, Captain Raccoon?”
“Only the most important for you, Space King. Bucky, does anyone in the prison have a robotic arm?”
“I swear if you’re going where I think you’re going with–”
“Okay, leg. Robotic leg, not arm.”
“Yes, there is one guy with a prosthetic leg.”
“Tony I want you to get me that guy’s leg.”
“…Why?”
“Just trust me, we need it for the plan.”
“Bucky, can I sense motive on Rocket?”
“Go ahead.”
“…These dice are weighted.”
“What?”
“What’d you get, Stark?”
“One.”
“Not only do you believe that Rocket needs the leg, you believe it is the single most important part of the plan. Without that leg, everything will fall to pieces.”
“Okay, fine, I’ll get the leg.”
“Perfect. Avengers, let’s get to work.”
“Removing the power cell will set off the alarm, so you believe you should start with–”
“I go remove the power cell.”
“…Bruce, that’s…not a good idea. Like I said, ripping that out will set off the alarm.”
“Right, exactly, sounds like fun. I go to rip it out.”
“But…but I spent all week coming up with persuasion and stealth scenarios for–-”
“This is what, a strength check?”
“…Yes Bruce, it’s a strength check.”
“I got a 20.”
“…You rip out the power cell with a single tug, setting off the alarm and alerting every single guard in the prison to your escape attempt. Roll for initiative, and remember that I hate all of you.”
My love for D&D (well, watching D&D, no one has ever taught me how to play *sadface*) and Marvel has finally met and it was glorious! I don’t know what’s better about all this, Steve telling Tony to steal the man’s leg and Tony having all the bad luck or Bucky’s non-shit taking DM!
