OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED
I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT
And at that moment, the foundation of that entire meme became something like this:
THAT EXPLAINS WHY MEN GO DOWN ON ONE KNEE WHEN THEY PROPOSE
OH MY GOD
I'm still in the process of trying to eloquently describe myself. Meanwhile, this should suffice.
We're kind of an international phenomenon

mouth
“You wanna go there? I’ll go there. I was born there. There’s a plaque there commemorating me.”
imagine getting to spend the night in this bed next to someone you love, discussing big and small things or just breathing next to each other while the cars and the city lights dimly light up the mountains and remind you that the world never ever goes to sleep. every night. i’d fucking love that.
imagine spending a night with just your closest friends or even alone and just enjoying it
this looks absolutely amazing
imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find some guy with suction cups on his hands and feet attached to your window and making faces at you while you sleep
HAHAHAHA THE LAST COMMENT
HAHAHAHAHHAAA

teachers who complain about grading work
It bothers me that 30000 people on this fucking website think you having written a paper or done your homework is something so difficult that you need a medal for. I mean this entire post completely demeans teachers. The average school teacher would be teaching like 150 students a week, and they have to mark the work of all those students. And that doesn’t mean just ticking or crossing, that’s giving feedback, wondering why your lesson plans weren’t meeting your expectations, figuring out plans to help students improve. Everything has to be double marked. 20 minutes per paper per marking cycle and they’ve put 20 times more effort into marking your paper than you put into writing it.
Please stop being selfish and annoying and realise that schooling is not your plight. Posts like these make me want to beat my head repeatedly against a wall because in two years I’m going to have to be teaching people who think like this.
Thailand’s White Temple, Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น)
Located near the city of Chiang Rai, Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น)—known outside Thailand as the “White Temple”—stands as an unusual and beautiful mix of traditional Thai architecture and modern-day science fiction memorabilia. It was designed by painter-turned-architect Chalermchai Kositpipat, one of Thailand’s most renowned architects, who set out to create one of the most elegant temples in Chiang Rai.
The temple’s white color symbolizes purity; its glittering glass signifies the teachings of the Buddah; and the moat filled with outreaching arms represents desire. Detailed sculptures of skulls, demons and severed heads are also scattered around the premises. Perhaps most interestingly, a mural inside with images of Batman, Superman, and even the alien from Predator tell a modern-day story of Buddha.
Construction on Wat Rong Khun began in 1996 and is expected to finish in 2070, long after Kositpipat has passed. Plans include nine buildings built on an area of about 3 acres, and though it is a work in progress, the temple attracts an increasingly large number of visitors every year—many of whom share their visit to the temple on Instagram.
