back the fuck up


Thereโ€™s another story that I like about a Chinese general who had to defend a city with only a handful of soldiers from a huge enemy horde that was in all likelihood going to steamroll the place flat within hours of showing up.
So when said horde did arrive, they saw the general sitting outside the cityโ€™s open gates, drinking tea. The horde sent a couple of emissaries over to see what was what, and the general greeted them cheerfully and invited them all to come and take tea with him.
The horde decided that this was a scenario that had โ€œMASSIVE FUCKING TRAPโ€ written all over it in beautiful calligraphy and promptly fucked off.
Whoever that general was, he was clearly the Ancient Chinese equivalent of Sam Vimes.


did he just invite us over for tea nah man iโ€™m out


This just keeps getting better

I fucking love history.

ok but tbh that story misses a lot of the subtlety of the situation like ok
so this story is the Romance of Three Kingdoms, and essentially takes place between Zhuge Liang, resident tactician extraordinaire, and Sima Yiโ€ฆ OTHER resident tactician extraordinaire.
The two were both regarded as tactical geniuses and recognized the other as their rival. Zhuge Liang had a reputation for ambushing the SHIT out of his opponents and using the environment to his advantage, thus destroying large armies with a small number of men. Sima Yi (who kind of entered the picture later) was a cautious person whose speciality was unravelling his opponentโ€™s plans before they began. So it was natural that the two would butt heads; however, since Sima Yi tended to have more men and resources, he started winning battles against the former. Which, yโ€™know, kinda sucked.
On to the actual story: Zhuge Liang is all like โ€œshit i gotta defend this city with like 10 men.โ€ Literally if he fights ANY kind of battle here, he WILL lose; his only option for survival is not to fight. And thatโ€™s looking more and more impossible until he hears that his rival is leading the opposing army. And then he gets this brilliant idea. He basically opens all the gates, sends his men out in civilian clothes to sweep the streets, and sits on top of the gate drinking tea and chilling out and basically makes the whole thing out to be a trap
When Sima Yi comes heโ€™s all like โ€œyo come on in broโ€
and Sima Yi is like โ€œyeah heโ€™s never been that obvious about his traps before. this is definitely a bluffโ€ and heโ€™s about to head in when he realizes
wait. he knows that i think heโ€™s bluffing.
and so he gets it in his head that maybe, just MAYBE, Zhuge Liang has this cunning plan that will wipe out his army - recall that he has a pretty good handle on what his rival is capable of. And after a long period of deliberation (which is just like โ€œhe know that I know that he knows that etc.โ€), being the cautious man he is, SIma Yi eventually decides to turn his entire army around and leave.
Zhuge Liang later points out that the plan wasย based specifically on the fact that he was facing his rival; if it had been anyone else, thereโ€™s no way it would have worked. A dumber or less cautious person would have simply charged in and won without breaking a sweat.ย 
and thatโ€™s the real genius here: it was a plan formed entirely justย to deceive one man, and it worked.

Zhuge Liang is the most brilliant, sneaky-ass bastard in history. One time his sideโ€™s army was out of arrows, which pretty much meant they were screwed. So Zhuge Liang goes and does the logical thing, which is build a fuck ton of scarecrows and put them all on boats. Then he makes the men hide in the boats and sail them out on the river.
Well, that day was super foggy (which Zhuge Liang had predicted. Did I mention he was also a freakishly accurate meteorologist?). So the enemy across the river sees a fleet of boats armed to the teeth with what appears to be half an army of men. They panic! and start firing arrows like crazy.ย 
Zhuge Liang lets this play out for a while, then heโ€™s like, โ€Ok guys thatโ€™s enough.โ€ They calmly turn the boats around and go back to base, where they dismantle the scarecrows and pull out all the enemyโ€™s arrows.
Zhuge Liang is legend.

I love this post. It just keeps getting better. Like seriously, I would have adored learning about this in World History.

If you want to see this in cinematic glory, watch Red Cliff.
Especially since it makes Zhuge Liang look like this:
Red Cliff is 50% bloody battles and 50% eye candy and about half of that eye-candy is due to Zhuge Liang

I fully support watching Red Cliff; itโ€™s gloriously silly entertainment during the battle scenes.

Guess what just got moved to the top of my watch list?? :D

REBLOG TO SAVE YOUR QUEER HEART FROM BREAKING


Iโ€™ve seen a bunch of people in the notes concerned (like I was) of comparisons of members of the lgbt to dogs: but upon visiting their website I was reassured that they monitor a variety of content, including (but not limited to):




THIS IS A GOOD SITE

Yeah, this site is literally so people can check for content they donโ€™t want to seeโ€ฆor in some cases content that would make them physically or mentally ill. (I have strobe issues myselfโ€ฆ)
Itโ€™s highly useful for a lot of people.

I had no idea they warned for strobe effects, thatโ€™s awesome! They give me headaches and nausea.

every day the same telemarketing company calls us. Iโ€™ve asked to be taken off their calling list, Iโ€™ve tried to be civil, Iโ€™ve even tried to not answer the phone, yet theyโ€™ll keep calling. So nowย Iโ€™veย resorted to making the phones calls as annoying as possible for them.
Today I asked the person to hold while I got a pen and paper. As of now, theyโ€™ve been waiting 45 minutes.

Update:
I just asked him if he was still there, then when he said yes i told him i had found a pen but no paper, but that iโ€™m still looking. Itโ€™s been an hour.

I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN ON TUMBLR AND YOUTUBE WHILE THIS GUY WAITS. ITโ€™S BEEN ALMOST AN HOUR AND A HALF

Update:
After an hour and 35 minutes I told him that i had found paper, but my pen was dead. He hung up. Ah well, iโ€™ll just do it again tomorrow!

You are the future

As a former telemarketer, I can tell you that the only reason that guy hung on the line for so long was because he didnโ€™t really want to make any more calls anyway and was probably reading a book or chatting with friends while you pretended to find paper and pen. He was enjoying your mischief as much, if not more, than you were. You literally gave this guy an acceptable reason to take an hour and a half break. You are his hero. He likely only finally hung up because it was officially his break time anyway. He probably told all his co-workers about your call and theyโ€™ll be laughing about it for weeks.

Holy shit, is this a happy ending to a post where everybody actually wins?

ACTUALLY YES because according to parental unit number one, telemarketers get paid by how long theyโ€™re on the phone with someone. so you were literally helping this friend get paid by doing absolutely shit

I feel like this would be a slippery slope towards making it illegal for people to choose to not vote.
thatโ€™s already how it is in australia


Thatโ€™s just so fucked up. :( Do certain medical conditions exempt you?

?????? why is it be fucked up to have compulsory voting? thatโ€™s the way it is in most democratic countries? itโ€™s a part of being a citizen, like paying taxes and obeying speed limits? the fine for not voting is only like $50 and because of the compulsory voting law, our country bends over backwards to make it accessible: itโ€™s always on a weekend, lasts most of the day, and is set up at schools and community centers so thereโ€™s one within easy reach of almost everybody. you can also mail your ballot or vote early if youโ€™ll be out of the country on the day. like, ITโ€™S EASY TO VOTE, and the penalty isnโ€™t even that ridiculous. i donโ€™t understand why the usa doesnโ€™t have this, except obviously it would make it harder to literally stop minorities from voting.

I think we Americans tend to forget that a lot of other countries donโ€™t actively work to make it harder to vote.

Adding to this here, in Australia you donโ€™t have to vote. Or, more precisely, thereโ€™s no way they can tell if you ruined your ballot.ย You have to turn up, get your name marked off, but you can put a line through the ballot if you donโ€™t think any of the candidates are worth voting for. Or do this:ย 
Or this:ย 

Or this:ย 
You have get your name crossed off (if you donโ€™t want to wear the fine), but you donโ€™t have to make your vote counted if youโ€™re opposed to it.ย 
And it is so, so easy to vote. Stuck at work or on holidays? Thatโ€™s fine. Do a postal vote. ย Stuck in hospital? Thatโ€™s fine. Theyโ€™ll go to you. Stuck in an old peopleโ€™s home and canโ€™t get around? Again, theyโ€™ll go to you. Itโ€™s amazing to me that itโ€™s so hard for so many Americans to actually vote. If you make it compulsory, than at least the government is obligated to provide you with the means to vote.ย 
And look, I get it. Sometimes I donโ€™t want to vote either. But I suck it up, I walk three minutes down the street, and I hope that this year theyโ€™re selling lamingtons again. Oh, and I buy a democracy sausage, which, even if all the candidates suck, makes the effort of turning up pretty worthwhile.ย 

ALSO, you can see even on the fucked up ballots that you NUMBER  CANDIDATES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE. Thereโ€™s no need to calculate whether I would be throwing away my vote on the candidate that I most agree with if theyโ€™re not from a major party. I can say, I want that independent person to get in, but if not them, give me Big Party A, and if not them, that minor party person is still better that Big Party B, and Iโ€™m not giving any preference to the Lunatic Fringe Party. 
Our system certainly has some issues still, but I can show up to somewhere nearby, line up for a few minutes (if at all), vote exactly in line with my values (on paper, leaving a paper trail that can be recounted), and then buy a sausage and some home made cupcakes on my way out. 
A countryโ€™s voting system matters a hell of a lot and every citizen deserves one that makes it easy to vote and results in a government that is representational and accountable. 
And by the way, one time I had a bad asthma flare-up on Election Day and didnโ€™t make it to my polling station. I got my fine in the mail, I filled out the form explaining why I couldnโ€™t vote, no more fine. I would rather have, you know, expressed my preference for who should run my country, but they were cool with the fact that I couldnโ€™t do it that day.



I still donโ€™t like the idea that I have to vote if I donโ€™t want to. Why the hell should that be mandatory?๏ฟผ


Because it forces people to participate in deciding how their country is run, which is a good thing. It also forces the government to hear your opinion, which is a good thing. You can still protest the candidates by throwing away your vote, but then you have to acknowledge the fact that you decided to not to care enough to pick your favorite candidate.

?????? why is it be fucked up to have compulsory voting? thatโ€™s the way it is in most democratic countries? itโ€™s a part of being a citizen, like paying taxes and obeying speed limits? the fine for not voting is only like $50 and because of the compulsory voting law, our country bends over backwards to make it accessible: itโ€™s always on a weekend, lasts most of the day, and is set up at schools and community centers so thereโ€™s one within easy reach of almost everybody. you can also mail your ballot or vote early if youโ€™ll be out of the country on the day. like, ITโ€™S EASY TO VOTE, and the penalty isnโ€™t even that ridiculous. i donโ€™t understand why the usa doesnโ€™t have this, except obviously it would make it harder to literally stop minorities from voting.

I think we Americans tend to forget that a lot of other countries donโ€™t actively work to make it harder to vote.

Adding to this here, in Australia you donโ€™t have to vote. Or, more precisely, thereโ€™s no way they can tell if you ruined your ballot.ย You have to turn up, get your name marked off, but you can put a line through the ballot if you donโ€™t think any of the candidates are worth voting for. Or do this:ย 
Or this:ย 

Or this:ย 
You have get your name crossed off (if you donโ€™t want to wear the fine), but you donโ€™t have to make your vote counted if youโ€™re opposed to it.ย 
And it is so, so easy to vote. Stuck at work or on holidays? Thatโ€™s fine. Do a postal vote. ย Stuck in hospital? Thatโ€™s fine. Theyโ€™ll go to you. Stuck in an old peopleโ€™s home and canโ€™t get around? Again, theyโ€™ll go to you. Itโ€™s amazing to me that itโ€™s so hard for so many Americans to actually vote. If you make it compulsory, than at least the government is obligated to provide you with the means to vote.ย 
And look, I get it. Sometimes I donโ€™t want to vote either. But I suck it up, I walk three minutes down the street, and I hope that this year theyโ€™re selling lamingtons again. Oh, and I buy a democracy sausage, which, even if all the candidates suck, makes the effort of turning up pretty worthwhile.ย 

ALSO, you can see even on the fucked up ballots that you NUMBER  CANDIDATES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE. Thereโ€™s no need to calculate whether I would be throwing away my vote on the candidate that I most agree with if theyโ€™re not from a major party. I can say, I want that independent person to get in, but if not them, give me Big Party A, and if not them, that minor party person is still better that Big Party B, and Iโ€™m not giving any preference to the Lunatic Fringe Party. 
Our system certainly has some issues still, but I can show up to somewhere nearby, line up for a few minutes (if at all), vote exactly in line with my values (on paper, leaving a paper trail that can be recounted), and then buy a sausage and some home made cupcakes on my way out. 
A countryโ€™s voting system matters a hell of a lot and every citizen deserves one that makes it easy to vote and results in a government that is representational and accountable. 
And by the way, one time I had a bad asthma flare-up on Election Day and didnโ€™t make it to my polling station. I got my fine in the mail, I filled out the form explaining why I couldnโ€™t vote, no more fine. I would rather have, you know, expressed my preference for who should run my country, but they were cool with the fact that I couldnโ€™t do it that day.



I still donโ€™t like the idea that I have to vote if I donโ€™t want to. Why the hell should that be mandatory?๏ฟผ: julad:

The US hates other minorities and poor folk, but please donโ€™t take attention from this.
All those other people have a chance at being treated. But people on the reservationsโ€ฆ donโ€™t. They were literally given body bags.

You can also donate through here if youโ€™d like to avoid supporting gofundme.
