Viktor and Sevika have been neck and neck most of the day, but now Sevika has pulled ahead in a surprise upset! Still no love for Singed, though, poor old man.

I’ve been seeing my Arcane posts in general and my dæmon au posts in specific getting more attention lately, which is great to see! I want to do more dæmon au art and posts, but I’m having trouble deciding whom to focus on next. So, a poll!

It took me a lot longer than it should have to realize this was not a post about Baldur’s Gate 3.

I think that's the connection between the emperor and the party: each can only be found (partially) wrong retrospectively, but have to be perfect in the present and future.

now to some extent that's almost tautological: at any given time you believe you are doing the right thing, otherwise you would do a different thing, but in most cases even if you believe that other people can protest that you're being a bloody idiot and suggest alternative courses of action.

you can't do that with the emperor, or the party! any critique of their policies has to be framed in terms of providing them with information of which they were regrettably unaware, or correcting a mistake in the implementation of their policies (which were perfect) by the lower levels (which are not).

an entity that stands above the entire system and cannot be honestly critiqued within that system as critique is interpreted as rebellion constituting an existential threat is always going to be balanced on the edge of a knife.

I initially read ‘fucking’ as an intensifier, not an action, and was like ‘that’s not right, Jonathan Swift wrote the flea poem’ and uh. Today I learned something.

john donne really deserves to be more widely appreciated for coining BOTH the iconic phrases “no man is an island” and “ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee” in one paragraph. and he’s also the flea fucking poem man. the range

I think Tumblr will love this

I think this is a fair point but I think it’s also worth noting that most people experience obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors to some extent; they’re just quirks of having a human brain. My understanding is that OCD is when those obsessions/compulsions are so powerful and overwhelming that they interfere with your quality of life; that’s why it’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.

i genuinely think ocd is incredibly underdiagnosed bc i will see people posting what are obvious rituals, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, spiralling, hyper morality, etc and its like Have You Considered This Might Be An Issue

I’ve always wondered how nautiluses (nautili?) are able to see where they’re going, and apparently the answer is, ‘they aren’t’.

This really makes the Studios costing themselves even more money (and getting more unions involved) by prolonging the strike for the promise of free ai labor even more fucking funny. you dumb fucking bastards lol

This is the same rhetoric used by conservatives to argue against a social safety net. ‘What if someone receives disability/social security/unemployment/food stamps/housing/the $5 in my pocket who doesn’t need it!!??’ And my answer is always, well, then they get it. Who cares? I’d much rather support be accidentally given to someone who doesn’t ‘need’ it than for it to be withheld from an entire population who definitely *do*.

does anyone else remember when peoples talking point against asexuality being a queer identity was to make up a cisgender heterosexual but aromantic man who wanted to get in to all the lgbt society meetings or was that just an embarrassing thing people i knew did

UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!
