Broke: Barbie’s many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.
Woke: Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.
Bespoke: Barbie’s different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.
I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful.
I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.”
Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.
If you’re an ace who masturbates regularly, what happens if you don’t?
In the short term, I’ll be very tired all the time [link]. I’ll sleep an extra hour a day and still be exhausted. (Since masturbating takes me *less* than an hour a day†, this makes it strictly superior in terms of time, in *addition* to being more effective and more pleasant.)
In the medium term, nothing. I have a menstrual-phase-linked libido, so in general any given level of sex drive will go away if I wait a few days.
In the long term, it’s hard to distinguish the effect of not masturbating *per se* from the effect of whatever’s preventing me from masturbating. Being overwhelmingly busy is unpleasant, of course. So is ignorance of the outlets available to you: *believing* that there’s nothing you can do about sexual frustration, or that what you can do isn’t much [link].

†It’s important that I not feel rushed, so I give myself as long as I want and don’t check the time until afterward. However, “as long as I want” invariably turns out to be between 25 and 40 minutes.

Klingon tumblr is called tm’blarr and if you post a nipple they stab you
With all due respect this is not proper klingon phonology.
A klingon syllable must have a medial vowel.
/bl/ is not an allowed consonant cluster.
rr isn’t in the orthography really it’d just be r
Constructing the Klingon verson of the word, the main problem is what you want to do with the u (/ə/) in tumblr. You could leave it u, pronounced oo (/u/), though I personally would make it I, pronounced like in kit (/ɪ/), because in my dialect that’s pretty close to the schwa (the uh sound in tumblr). In order to keep the random glottal stop (’), because that sounds very klingon (it uses those a lot), I’m going to stick it in the syllable between the b and the l (since, remember, that’s not an allowed consonant cluster, unless it spans a syllable boundary). This is a little odd, as you’d probably just stick your neutral vowel between them, but klingon doesn’t really like CV (consonant-vowel) syllables and it sounds cooler. I like using ih in neutral syllables, but you could always follow the original post’s choice and make it a instead.
It’s probably tImbI’lar (/tɪm’bɪʔ.lar/). tim-bi’-lar (roll the r). Stress on the central syllable.
Edit: in honor of wongbal I have translated the original post as ngech mIllogh Dalabchugh, DaDuQlu’, “if you post a nipple you get stabbed.”
More accurately, as “if you transmit a picture of a woman’s cleavage, you will certainly be stabbed.” The online klingon dictionary is incapable of using normal words and I spent a solid ten minutes searching as many synonyms for upper-chest-areas-of-the-body as I could think of. Also, disclaimer that I’ve only been studying this language for a few months.
