The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

The beginning of saints row 4 where your playing cod 4 and then you realize you have to sacrifice yourself and climb a nuclear missile and all your friends and enemies from the previous games says your goodbye and Aerosmith starts blasting is hilarious - and then you set off the bomb and it explodes and yeah it's not that kind of sacharine game, you survive and fall into the fucking oval office desk and become president

Every now and then (like three minutes ago) someone reminds me that LinkedIn exists and I'm momentarily so fucking grateful my union makes it so I don't have to maintain some shitty social media profile just to keep having a job. Like that shit looks so degrading.

No idea what the last two messages are supposed to mean. He's generally pretty good on politics but he's been watching gamer-bait shit and I really doubt it's helping him at all.

Did a four hour bike ride yesterday, followed by three runs on Nightreign with my Logitech from the second Obama term.

My wrist is fucked.

Fucking dust. Fuck dust, man. Fucking annoying as shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I looked online to make an anti-dust spray because I'm so sick of having to de-dust everything every 1-2 weeks. Used it like 3-4 days ago and it seams to have worked? Air quality probably isn't better but at least all the shelves and surfaces aren't all dusty.

Don't know if it's called anything, but it's:
-1 cup of water
-1/2 cup of whitre vinegar
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-2 drops of dish soap
-and some optional drops of scent oil if wanted

And you'll want to use either a bunch of paper towel or a massive stack of clean dish rags/face clothes since they're gunna' get dusty quickly.

I really need to get to making a Corsi-Rosenthal box at some point. Annual wildfires are going to make this necessary at some point, probably.

Feeling annoyed at my friend recently and even though my other friends dont know him I dont to talk about him to them because I dont want to be someone who negatively talks about people they're friends with for reasons that aren't like objectively bad

But also know talking to this friend won't resolve things until they bring it up themselves or get over whatever is making them act like this and keeping it to myself while they act like this is building up my annoyance at them :/

None of the options feel good so here I am posting anonymously about it

Children truly are the greatest badposters, I just overheard while walking about :::spoiler juvenile humor A young kid was with his family, he says to his mom "I made a new song based on Old McDonald, do you want to hear it?" "Oh sure" he sings the classic melody: "Old MacDonald had a fart, yum yum yum yum yummm!"

There is apparently a leak cover that shows one of the new comics of the new marvel knights line, and one is controversial because its about a battle for the throne of wakanda between Tchalla's (black panther) white son and his black son

How does he have a white son?

When I was in college I could barely read fiction. It took me about a year and a half to read the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers

Over the past few days I finished the Two Towers, started and finished the Return of the King. I read most of the Return of the King today, about 300 pages. It feels so, so amazing to have my attention span back and being able to read again

Also the scouring of the shire is a weird chapter right? Like I'm not alone in thinking that it's a weird final quest after the story has ended?

Like Frodo and Sam have this massive climactic, exhausting final push to get to mount doom and then they accept death, and then everyone but the hobbits gets a send-off, and then... There's like this weird little rebellion plotline and Saruman is being a weird low-stakes villain? Like Saruman feels like a cartoon villain in this, not in an overly evil way, but just his plan is stupid and lame and then he just gets kicked out and dies. The tone is really weird, 19 hobbits and 70 (!) men die, and no one really cares that much, and it just isn't that important.

Thematically I guess it's important to show that the old ways are truly gone, and even the Shire wasn't safe from the war, but then it's stated that the Shire immediately became a safe place again and pretty much went back to normal. So like what's the point of this at all. Tbh it's the only time in all three books that I've not enjoyed reading that much.

In that mood where I literally can't shovel information into my brain fast enough to be content. My brain can't decide if it wants to be in hyperdrive or off

The ultimate tell that a restaurant has good food is there is no English menu and you have to place your order with the owner’s 11 year old kid translating.

Spent the past two days feeling like I might be getting sick, but I feel like I would have already gotten sick if I was going to get sick.

While much less well known than it's sister statue, the Oaf of Willendorf is an important part of the archeological puzzle depicting a figure that appears to be in mid-trip with pants falling down biden-fall
