Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

The assumption that people don't pay the fare because they can't pay the fare is a flimsy one.
Catching a relatively small number of people who didn't pay the fare keeps many more people honest. The main purpose of the police is deterrence.
Police on the subway also deter other sorts of crime with their presence.
Wow, you're white as hell
Wow, you’re making an argument ad hominem.
(And racist)
