Sometimes I feel like people failed US History and this recent election and talks about tariffs really do prove that. I mean did literally everyone collectively forget about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and those major repercussions? Btw that act happened in 1930. There's a reason President Hoover's name was used to refer to Shanty Towns in the Great Depression. Or the fact that almost all tariff acts within the last 80 or so years have either been expanding negotiation for world trade or deliberately decreasing tariffs. And the one time in 2002 where steel had tariffs placed on it, it was repealed in under a year because the cost greatly outweighed any benefits.

Does anyone remember the last time Trump tried to make tariffs in 2018? How many people credit it to be one of the largest tax increases in US history!?

Are people really that stupid? Like it's literally a REQUIRED part of our general education. Why do you think it is!? So people can actually make smart decisions.

Proving how easy it is to write BASIC compelling arcs for Sam LaRusso (1/2)

This last season's (and others) treatment of Samantha is unforgivable, I did this out of spite whenever I had the time to write, so here goes. (part 2)

main conflicts .

KARATE TRAUMA �� Sam was raised under Daniel's and Mr. Miyagi's teachings from day one. She loved training with her dad and ojichan because to her it was a fun game at the time. Then, as she grew out of toddlerhood it became a serious martial arts training. Daniel and Miyagi knew it was important to raise a girl who could defend herself in a world that was out to get them, plus they had this time to bond and spend high-quality time together. After the death of Mr Miyagi, Sam feels triggered by Karate. It reminds her too much of him and how soon he was taken from them. It reminded her how Karate couldn't save him. She stopped believing Karate could ever save her too.

SURVIVING HIGH SCHOOL — Until High School, Sam was a proud nerd who had the best time with Aisha. However, as time went by, she observed how nerds and unpopular people were harassed and humiliated. Not only that, but by the last half of her elementary school experience she was being bullied alongside Aisha and grew really scared of what was coming for her in High School. Which is why she did her best to fit in with the cool kids and change her whole self. It was something incredibly hard and draining to do. The whole time she felt anxious, like they'd find out she was a farce at any moment. She felt guilty and conflicted for leaving Aisha and turned a blind eye to all the bad things her group did, as a way to guarantee her stay. The series then explores this, the consequences of her choices, how they turn against her, how she deals with becoming the popular crowd's main target for a long while, the psychological scars, and finally: how she slowly rebuilds her self-confidence and how she does everything to make up for what she was complacent with for Aisha.

development .

KARATE TRAUMA — How Robby changes everything The arrival of Robby in her family's life brings not only fulfillment for her dad who craved a student, but it also causes the first sparkle that should heal her heart wounds about karate. He's a new, bright, kind, and gentle reminder of what it was like to train with her dad and Mr. Miyagi. He makes her remember the joy of practicing it, the gratification of refining a technique, the importance of a bond with fight mates, and the happiness she can still experience despite her awful loss. He's the key to bringing her back and inadvertently shows her the way to soothe her wounds about her past. This creates a tight bond between the two and makes them excellent fighters, especially together.

SURVIVING HIGH SCHOOL — Everlasting Consequences Sam won't escape the result of her choice, which means that even though she makes progress with Aisha, they won't get back to being friends like before, and that's when Tory shows, and Sam is incredibly jealous because she knows she fucked up and her old best friend is now in arms with this new beautiful fearless girl whom she can't ever compete with. Cue the start of sapphic drama for my own indulgence. On top of that, she'll forever be treated as persona non grata by the popular crowd who will take every chance to harass and create rumors about her.

Why the fuck does everyone seem to expect lesbians to be butch4femme? No slight to anyone who is butch4femme, but having that be the expectations sets up gender roles and makes the relationship seem passably straight to society. I've seen so many posts that only serve to make the butch the stone top who doms and the femme submissive and breedable. If that's what you're looking for in a relationship good for you, but please don't make that a requirement because that is antagonistic to the entire idea of queer relationships giving people the freedom to how they want to love. Let femmes top, let butches bottom, and please just let butch4butch and femme4femme to exist. Lesbian relationships shouldn't be heteronormative

@santas-jolly-backhand-of-chaos because you really got me thinking about this

[sheena-isa-punkrocker]

did everyone just forget that osha GAVE UP HERSELF TO QIMIR SO HE WOULD SPARE HER SISTER

like why yall acting like it came out of nowhere. mae saw his face so he would have to kill her.

the jedi were looking for whomever they believed killed sol. qimir wiping mae's memories of him (for his identity) and osha (so the jedi wouldn't go after her for sol if they looked through mae's memories) makes sense

[timberiswooding]

Ppl being so hateful to the point of someone quitting is just absolute shit. It is not hard to be kind, or respectful, at the VERY least.

We get FREE CONTENT. FREEEEEEE.

JUST FOR MFS TO BE HATEFUL AS SHIT!!!!!!!

It's especially the female characters. Male characters are so easily defended by the fandom, yet the girlies are so easily judged and hated. This goes for nearly EVERY female character in these shows.

Just be tolerant and respectful. It's free content from people who don't HAVE to do any of this. It's free content from people who have their own projects outside of TSBS, ITS FREE CONTENT!!!

how fucking hard is it to organize your terf blocklist alphabetically.

[xxxregulusblackxxx]

If I see one more person can Vander and Silco under a clearly romatic Zaundads post (like fucking kissing) I think I'll kill myself. They're brothers in arms. Also Silco uses "brothers and daughters of zaun" to refer to the whole of the under city so it's obvious he uses the term like people use "my brothers and sisters in Chris" then proceeded to flirt with said brother or sister because they only ever see each other at church. It's fucking annoying and they are clearly not blood related. Of course anything is possible look at Vi and Jinx they don't really look related but here we are. So if they somehow get confirmed to be blood brothers I'll admit I was wrong.

Edit: I ment Christ but chris is funnier

[chilei-the-hotsauce]

ohno hes crying again! anyways

[pinkelotjeart]

I still see people tagging protocol content as archives and the other way around, stop doing that !!

These are different shows with new characters, please I want to see the correct content when looking into a tag. why am I seeing Alice and Sam in the magnus archives tag, SOMEONE GIVE THEM A MAP BECAUSE THEY ARE LOST

(THIS 🤏 close to just blocking people but I’d feel bad)

Goodnight to everyone except Gabriel.

Gabriel, who comments on almost every single issue of "Rogue & Gambit" on readallcomics, talking about how this ship "Killed Remy", how shitty it is, how much he hates Rogue as a character, calling her the writer's "Feminist agenda", founding most of his points in blatant bigotry.

Again, talking about how much he hates Romy... WHILE READING A ROMY SERIES!!!!!

Oh! And then also commenting on Rogue's solo series, on how Rogue "Doesn't have what it takes to be a main character and always has to bounce off of another"

Pick a fucking struggle dude I hope both sides of your pillow are warm tonight and that your sleeves roll down while you wash your hands.

I will never understand why people who enjoy reading fanfic have absolutely ZERO problems with reading stories that involve rape, forced marriage, murder, domestic violence, mental physical and emotional abuse, human trafficking, and kidnapping but yet have a problem with wincesties? Like none of us support actual incest yk that right? We separate fiction from reality the same way yall do for all the stuff I listed above. Just because you enjoy reading smth in fanfic doesn't mean you support it in real life. Also my account is literally 99% wincest content so I'm always so confused when people who don't like wincest wanna comment shit under my posts, like girl if you blocked the tag you wouldn't see any of my shit! Also Why are you on the wincest side of tumblr anyways?

[my-divine-rhythm]

Simple, really!

[moonyfr]

Hot take (not really) but being kind is so underrated. It's so easy??? Never has being kind ever worked out badly for me?? It's really not that hard. It takes no effort to give someone a compliment. Why is everyone so rude all the time. It gains you nothing. Make being kind popular again.
