I think I can trace my intense hatred for the whole "regulations are just corporate bullshit, building codes are just The Man's way of keeping you down, we should return to pre-industrial barter and trade systems" nonsense back to when I first started doing electrical work at one of the largest hospitals in the country.

I have had to learn so much about all the special conditions in the National Electric Code for healthcare systems. All the systems that keep hospitals running, all the redundancies and backups that make sure one disaster or outage won't take out the hospital's life support, all the rules about different spaces within the hospital and the different standards that apply to each of them. And a lot of it is ridiculously over-engineered and overly redundant, but all of it is in the service of saving even one life from being lost to some wacky series of coincidences that could have been prevented with that redundancy.

I've done significantly less work in food production plants and the like, but I know they have similar standards to make sure the plants aren't going to explode or to make sure a careless maintenance tech isn't accidentally dropping screws into jars of baby food or whatever. And research labs have them to make sure some idiot doesn't leave a wrench inside a transformer and wreck a multi-million dollar machine when they try to switch it on.

Living in the self-sufficient commune is all fun and games until someone needs a kidney transplant and suddenly wants a clean, reliable hospital with doctors that are subject to some kind of overseeing body, is my point.

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

I've seen people talking about so many different aspects of Across the Spider-verse and all the different Spider-person variations but not so much about the main villian the Spot.

Because he was just some guy, some regular scientist. Looking at what kind of people he worked for it cannot be said he was exactly good but he also wasn't evil, he was just doing his job and happened to be at a wrong time on a wrong place.

And his life seems ruined, he's this wierd spot being but his Forst thought isnt even to plot revenge. He's "shit how do I get a job now", when he decides to steal he decides to steal an ATM machine because he doesn't wanna rob some small business owner it's just such an interesting detail.

Only after being antagonised and called third league villian and only after after Miles does not realise and refuses to acknowledge and listen how he was accomplice in his making the Spot starts his revenge quest. And he's fascinated by his own powers, he's far from mentally stable but he was not evil mad scientist, he's just victim of circumstances.

Valorant Text Post Memes Volume 26

Made by me with jokes from myself and some good friends. As such, it covers our headcanons and ships. No hate towards other ships (I’m a multishipper myself), but these are just ones I enjoy and chose to feature in these memes, yada yada. No shipping discourse on a funny meme post pls

Who's taller machete or vasco

They should be about the same height. If you take away his heels (and I advise against it), Machete is a tiny bit shorter than Vasco, but then again he has those antenna ears and Vasco doesn't.

In their setting they're slightly above average height at roughly 6'0/180 cm.

♡ Talk about a glow up huh. Mister Naoya doesn't look so bad now, his pose portrays his confidence much better (the last one looked more insecure in my opinion, and Naoya doesn't like presenting himself as someone vulnerable) I tried to go for a watercolor vibe on the first attempt, but I ended up choosing a cleaner coloring style for the vn, it matches better with the backgrounds.

The next step is to draw the others in the same style, but that shouldn't take that much time, haha.
