When you study linguistics, the number one thing you learn is how many people have no idea what they’re talking about when the word “linguistics” leaves their mouth.
science fiction was invented by a woman

I swear to god that I almost have an anxiety attack every time I start to feel my limbs, especially my fingers, tingle or start to fall asleep. Especially when I know I haven’t eaten or slept much. 9 times out of 10 it means a migraine that will have me in bed and in pain for at least 6 hours. And when it happens at work it’s even worse ‘cause I don’t know if I should call my supervisor about possible coverage when it starts or wait to call until I actually have a migraine. Grrrrrr I want them gone from my brain.
When wives bring home more bacon than their husbands, household budgets surely may sizzle but in some cases, men may pay a price. Some guys who lose their role as primary earners are known to lose sexual steam and may deal with insomnia and other issues, researchers say.
In relationships where women’s wages become slightly fatter than what their spouses pocket, scientists have determined that men are about 10 percent more likely to require prescription pills to combat erectile dysfunction, insomnia and anxiety, according to a recent study by Washington University in St. Louis’ Olin Business School.

look here, men and the media: you can’t have it both fucking ways

i s2g i am going to find way to tap into the forces of darkness and then you motherfuckers are gonna know real pain

“In English,” Professor Austin said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

We have to understand that no matter what we do with our lives we will never be as awesome as Christopher Lee is.
I will never get over how he corrected Peter Jackson on the proper sound a man makes when he’s been stabbed in the back because he actually worked in the British clandestine services.
Or how he volunteered to fight in one of the most brutal fronts of WWII (the Finnish-Russian Winter War).
Or how he was fucking NAZI HUNTER.
Basically, Christopher Lee is the real Most Interesting Man in the world and I honestly don’t know why we tell Chuck Norris jokes when this badass is walking around.
And then I see him rambling on about how Saruman and Gandalf are actually Istari, which are one of the Maia in the LotR commentaries and I realize he literally cannot become more awesome.
Oh can’t he?
#Christopher Lee wrote a Metal Opera about Charlemagne #all opinions are irrelevant
I just read up on that and now I regret I didn’t include it! The man is 90 years old and he’s releasing a metal album next year. ACTUAL MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD CHRISTOPHER LEE.
[swoons]
OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT HIS METAL
GOD HE’S HARDCORE AS FUCK
He’s also played Dracula like 5 billion times and in the first one he refused to use the terrible dialogue and wasn’t fired.
He was also bros with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing, but unlike them was able to get away from the horror genre and forged a well-rounded career.
He can speak 8 languages and will sometimes do his own dubbing for foreign versions of his films.
His family carries the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire.
He’s related to John Lee, Robert E. Lee, and Ian Fleming.
He really is the most interesting man in the world.
do you ever just cry because christopher lee
This is why I can’t have nice things… because Christopher Lee has them all already.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4yc3f0lDc1r95t24o1_r1_500.png)

When the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto weighed in on the sexual assault crisis in the military, he said it was a “war on men” and was the start of an “effort to criminalize male sexuality.”
Because when James Taranto learns about 26,000 sexual assault victims, he hears “war on men.”
James Taranto thinks male sexuality is… to rape?
Um, wow.
The head of the Australian army thinks stabbing your sisters-in-arms (or brothers, in some cases) in the back is a disgusting betrayal of your duty to have their backs. Most people would think that the saner response.
