Blade_of_tyshalle: Jul 12, 2009; If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I can't wait for the exciting future where my phone invites all my friends into a Google Hangout with me so they can give me an intervention.

Or at least one where my phone can start my car and turn on the AC so that way I don't roast to death in my car on high on ludes or something.

If you use Chrome (or google in general I believe) it auto-searches based on the correct spelling and gives you a few pages about him. Not sure how you would think something like that is delisted when even searching his name even more misspelled (Kajamie Powel) still brings up results.

Well, these people are probably using altavista or askjeeves through Internet Explore 5.0, so...

My friend's truck does this. When he was overseas, he would start/stop his truck at all hours to mess with his family where his truck was parked.

I didn't mean it to sound that way. I legitimately try to use other ways of saying "people who are Jewish" but the original post wording it like that got me messed up. I made a mistake there, my apologies.

That's not how Tumblr works.

Tumblr's infrastructure is bonkers. What black-outline did was manually quote blue-outline's response to black's original post. Tumblr doesn't actually have any automatic mechanism for replying back to, or even publicizing, "replies" to posts.

That's why "sane" Tumblr-users converse entirely via reblogs.

The establishment of the state of Israel was a teensy bit more complex than "well, the Holocaust happened, guess we'll give them some land."

...yeah, fair enough.

... It's sad that being fair to black-outline means that we have to assume they are literally incapable of leaving a normal human life, but here we are.

I mean, claustrophobia is a nasty thing, I get that, but have these folks never heard of "coping strategies" or "proportionate human response"?

# ? Aug 23, 2014 00:02

WickedHate: Aug 1, 2013; by Lowtax

They said "almost" ran out of the room, so they probably are coping with their fears and having proportionate responses. They aren't incapable of leading a human life just because they got freaked out by a phobia and then managed to deal with it, but happened to mention, probably hyperbolically, that they "almost" ran from it.

I'm going to judge the entirety of Tumblr from the DashCon fiasco/success. I developed PTSD from watching teenage girls with cat ears meowing in a tiny ball pit that someone pissed in.

Since you mentioned cat ears, I now understand why someone pissed in it. They are cat otherkin and all they saw when they laid eyes on that ballpit was a huge litter pan. Maybe there was a secret catkin pissing war going on.

I Killed GBS: Jun 2, 2011; by Lowtax

No one pissed in it, it was a rumor that someone started on Tumblr to troll the congoers and try to freak them out.
No matter how many times this is pointed out, goons will continue to say that someone pissed in it, because it conforms to their stereotypes and is funnier.

It doesn't even make any loving sense because a) there were Jewish people living in the same geographical region all through, from Roman Judea to Ottoman Syria (which included present-day Israel and Jordan as well as most of present-day Syria) through the surge in Zionist settlement in the late 19th century through the British Mandate of 1922, and b) if you're going to imagine a clairvoyant, beneficent Hitler, why not imagine a pet dragon for everybody, or pixie friends to do our housework?
