precious metals

trustycoffeemug
there are a number of naturally occurring metallic elements which have historically been noted to be worth significant monetary value, by which standard mining them has been known to be extremely lucrative. historically some of them have been used to mint coins, and today people invest in large lumps of them

among these precious metals are gold (the mac daddy of precious metals, which glows like the sun) and silver (the mac mommy, which glows like the moon), as well as platinum and its orgy buddies ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, and iridium (these guys just sort of glow like industrial kitchenware).

it is unclear which of these is used to make printer's ink, but it must surely be one of them.

k

the devils dictionary
K is a consonant that we get from the Greeks, but it can be traced away back beyond them to the Cerathians, a small commercial nation inhabiting the peninsula of Smero. In their tongue it was called Klatch, which means "destroyed." The form of the letter was originally precisely that of our H, but the erudite Dr. Snedeker explains that it was altered to its present shape to commemorate the destruction of the great temple of Jarute by an earthquake, circa 730 B.C. This building was famous for the two lofty columns of its portico, one of which was broken in half by the catastrophe, the other remaining intact. As the earlier form of the letter is supposed to have been suggested by these pillars, so, it is thought by the great antiquary, its later was adopted as a simple and natural—not to say touching—means of keeping the calamity ever in the national memory. It is not known if the name of the letter was altered as an additional mnemonic, or if the name was always Klatch and the destruction one of nature's puns. As each theory seems probable enough, I see no objection to believing both—and Dr. Snedeker arrayed himself on that side of the question.

feminism

kivi
Feminism is a movement that aims to promote equality between the sexes however, in its current form it has strayed far from this noble goal. The modern feminist movement has become increasingly divisive, focusing on the idea of "victimhood" and promoting the idea that men are inherently oppressors and women are inherently oppressed. This kind of thinking is not only intellectually lazy but it is also dangerous.

It is important to recognize that while there are certainly still issues of inequality that need to be addressed, the vast majority of men are not oppressors and the vast majority of women are not victims. The problems faced by women are complex and multifaceted, and cannot be reduced to simplistic notions of patriarchy and oppression.

For example, the gender pay gap, which is often cited as evidence of systemic discrimination against women, is actually much more complicated than it seems. Studies have shown that when factors such as education, experience, and job choice are taken into account, the pay gap all but disappears. This is not to say that discrimination does not exist, but it is important to recognize that the problem is more complex than a simple narrative of men oppressing women.

Furthermore, the modern feminist movement often promotes the idea that women are weak and in need of protection, which is not only patronizing, but also undermines their capability. Women should be encouraged to take responsibility for their own lives and to strive for excellence.

It is also worth noting that the feminist movement often ignore the issues that men face, such as the pressure to conform to societal expectations of masculinity and the lack of positive role models for men. Men and women have different needs and facing different challenges, and to truly achieve equality, both men and women need to be considered.

Additionally, the feminist movement often promotes the idea that traditional gender roles are inherently oppressive, and that women should reject them in order to be truly equal. This is a fundamentally flawed idea, as traditional gender roles are not the cause of inequality, but rather a result of biological differences between men and women. Women and men have different strengths and weaknesses, and should be encouraged to play to their strengths in order to achieve their full potential.

Finally, it should be acknowledged that the feminist movement has been hijacked by extremist groups, who are more interested in promoting their own agenda, than in promoting true equality. This kind of extremism is damaging to the cause of gender equality, and it is important to reject it.

It is important to remember that the goal of feminism should be equality, not the elevation of one sex over the other. To truly achieve equality, we must reject divisive and extremist ideologies and instead focus on finding common ground and working together towards a better future for all.

tangled headphones

boo
(noun):
The mischievous work of a wire-wielding poltergeist, lurking in the shadows of your pockets and bags, eagerly plotting to turn your headphones into a tangled mess of frustration. It's a cosmic prank that rivals the greatest slapstick comedy, as if Charlie Chaplin himself orchestrated the chaos. Untangling the knotty mess becomes a high-stakes puzzle, a battle of wits against an invisible foe with a PhD in knotting. It's a spectacle that leaves you questioning your life choices and contemplating a career as a professional knot detangler. So grab your patience, your sense of humor, and a strong cup of coffee, because in the world of tangled headphones, laughter is the only way to keep your sanity intact.

werewolf

the devils dictionary
A wolf that was once, or is sometimes, a man. All werewolves are of evil disposition, having assumed a bestial form to gratify a bestial appetite, but some, transformed by sorcery, are as humane as is consistent with an acquired taste for human flesh.
Some Bavarian peasants having caught a wolf one evening, tied it to a post by the tail and went to bed. The next morning nothing was there! Greatly perplexed, they consulted the local priest, who told them that their captive was undoubtedly a werewolf and had resumed its human form during the night. "The next time that you take a wolf," the good man said, "see that you chain it by the leg, and in the morning you will find a Lutheran."

seal

the devils dictionary
A mark impressed upon certain kinds of documents to attest their authenticity and authority. Sometimes it is stamped upon wax, and attached to the paper, sometimes into the paper itself. Sealing, in this sense, is a survival of an ancient custom of inscribing important papers with cabalistic words or signs to give them a magical efficacy independent of the authority that they represent. In the British museum are preserved many ancient papers, mostly of a sacerdotal character, validated by necromantic pentagrams and other devices, frequently initial letters of words to conjure with; and in many instances these are attached in the same way that seals are appended now. As nearly every reasonless and apparently meaningless custom, rite or observance of modern times had origin in some remote utility, it is pleasing to note an example of ancient nonsense evolving in the process of ages into something really useful. Our word "sincere" is derived from sine cero, without wax, but the learned are not in agreement as to whether this refers to the absence of the cabalistic signs, or to that of the wax with which letters were formerly closed from public scrutiny. Either view of the matter will serve one in immediate need of an hypothesis. The initials L. S., commonly appended to signatures of legal documents, mean locum sigillis, the place of the seal, although the seal is no longer used — an admirable example of conservatism distinguishing Man from the beasts that perish. The words locum sigillis are humbly suggested as a suitable motto for the Pribyloff Islands whenever they shall take their place as a sovereign State of the American Union.
