(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)

#polls #tumblr polls #For me I think the top ones would be the House. The Money. or the Friend Group. But I ultimately might would go for the house #JUST becuase it would be my Dream House which means it would already meet mostly all of my specifications #and what I might be looking for. which would save a lot of time searching or customizing/rennovating.#Also because I could use that as a way to leave the US lol.. like .. if I get to choose my dream location.. couldnt I just choose some othe #country?? But I wonder how that works. Can you legally 100% have full ownership of a property in a country yet not be a citizen of that #country?? Would you show up and be like 'erm.. i own this house.. so i shall now live in it' and theyd be like 'uh no. you cant live here #despite owning the house. leave.' ??#So I think the initial process of 1. scraping together funds to actually MOVE myself and my most valuable belongings physically #TO another country. and 2. figuring out how to STAY in that country . might end up being difficult.. BUT. if I could just work that #part of things out then.. dream house?? security for once in my life?? stability?? :0 #Though the $1mil is enticing it's also like.. I feel .. with the way housing prices are now... that's not much???#it's a lot I guess if you plan on like.. investing half the money and staying in an apartment for 5 years while you grow your wealth #or something. but if you're a 'I Need Stability NOW' ready to settle down person who would be most interested in owning a property rather #than nice clothes or a car or whatever other investments you could make then.. eh..?? It seems like unless you're okay with living in #a small town or kind of far away from the city - even some SMALL houses in majorly populated areas in the US will be like #$600.000 - $900.000 or something. like that would be MOST of my money. Which I know you could just pay partially and make #payments on it but idk.. in the option of just outright owning the house it seems like it'd end up being cheaper.#Plus I would want to own it fully asap because I'd be afraid of losing it somehow otherwise. like it being taken for medical bills or #something. which I thought was supposed to be - not IMPOSSIBLE - slightly more complicated legally if you actually have #paid off the house in full. I guess the issue then would be utilities and property tax and such. But I feel like thats overcome-able??#Like I could just stipulate that my Dream House has a little furnished addition or something and then find someone #with money and be like 'Look you can live in this extremely nice area with amazing ameneties and updated everything and ALL you have #to do is give me money to cover the utilities and property tax.'' or something like that. Like the little furnished addition is nicer #than the actual house. they have their own pool and spa and movie room or something and Ill also cook all their meals for them #or whatever (how luxurious it would be depeneds on how high the property tax actually is/how much I would need to entice them into #why it's a good deal for them to pay it for me lol). idk... something like that.. ANYWAY #I asked a few people I know though and one of them answered they'd rather have a romantic partner. the other one said they'd like #to be able to choose someone to die lol.. So I'm curious what people value the most

In my next life I’d like to be born during Precedented Times, as a treat.

small moment i liked in murderbot ep 5. when leebeebee says she was brought along to do laundy. the presaux team all reacts in loud disdain at the idea of a survey group bringing someone along to do laundry, and leebeebee snaps at them that she can't study anything like they have while she's on indenture contract; of course she's doing laundry. the group is quick to clarify that they think she's fine, that there's nothing wrong with doing laundry, that it's the company and the system they're disgusted with.

i believe them about not having meant any ill will towards leebeebee. but that moment does remind me a lot of conversations ive seen a few times here on tumblr. where people look at underpaid, underrespected jobs, accurately see that there's a problem, but misunderstand where the problem is. they imagine a world where no one has to do "demeaning" jobs instead of a world where every job is respected and enough to live off of. not every housekeeper or sanitation worker dislikes their career. plenty of people are genuinely passionate about work in those fields; they need rights and wages, not to be pushed out into something else.

the problem with bringing an indentured worker along to do your laundry is that you have an indentured worker. while the presaux crew is able and happy to do their own laundry and cleaning, wanting to hire someone else to do it instead doesn't automatically make you cruel or exploitative. the indenture is what makes leebeebee's treatment wrong.

presaux accidentally making leebeebee feel looked down on for not having a more impressive job, when they were trying to do the opposite and be upset on her behalf, feels like a very real kind of clumsiness. they have their convictions and their broad beliefs. they're just stumbling over the reality of putting those ideals into practice. aside from gurathin, i assume they've only had to face these injustices in abstract, removed forms until now.

#this sentiment still holds no matter who leebeebee turns out to be #mbtv #murderbot tv #murderbot media #<- my general tag for both mb fandoms #this convo maybe would have felt more out of place with book presaux. but book presaux and tv presaux seem to be serving different purposes #book presaux is our fantasy. (not fantasy as in unrealistic. just as in its comforting to read about)#it's not just safe and equitable. it is secure enough to stay that way. that you can trust it to stay that way for the rest of your life.#book presaux is settled. a safe harbor against the dangers the characters face in the corp rim #tv presaux is still finding its legs #it has the same values. the same goals. but they haven't hit stability yet; they're still working for it #it's an ongoing project instead of a completed one. less of a fantasy to find comfort in and more of a mirror to see parts of our present i

Jay is a leader who thinks he's a follower but I won't elaborate.

#like if you separate him from the rest he can easily climb up to lead on several occasions #but still for security stability/safety he will seek to follow someone because he doesn't realize that #ninjago #jay ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #jay walker

For the first time ever, I used tarot as a method to try and contact Lord Apollo. I've been anxious about it for a while, but today the sun shone brightly and I saw some beautiful art of him, so I just.. felt compelled to give it a try. It went better than I ever could have expected and I truly do feel cared for, and that what I do in devotion to him is enough.

#val talks #should i tag. im scared. but this was a very positive experience so why not have this be the post that might make people perceive me lol #hellenic polytheism #apollo deity #apollo #apollo worship #helpol #apollo worshipper #lord apollo #if anyone is curious i pulled a card for confirmation that i was talking to him (got temperance which is associated with him. so yay)#and then asked a few questions. some related to me and my practice. some related to more personal topics. and they all were answered #very nicely i feel. queen of wands about if what im doing is ''enough'' which ties to confidence and self-assurance so i'm sure it's a yes #the emperor when asked if he had any opinion of me thus far that he wanted to share which i interpret as a confirmation that i can seek #stability and security from him and depend on him. maybe? that's how i read it #and more. but y'know. very positive stuff hehe. the card i got on one of the questions i asked seeking advice was possibly the most #appropriate card i could have pulled for the topic so. i'm honestly very happy about it!#tarot #hellenic pagan #i um. guess. anxious to talk to people and maybe get perceived but hey! why not try

♡ :D

Send ♡ to see what my muse thinks of yours

"edie's as special as they come! she's always working so hard. i don't envy the weight of the role she's had to take on as imperial princess. i know it'll only get harder once she's emperor, though i have faith she'll manage just fine. more than fine, actually. all her talk of the future makes me feel hopeful. you always hear the nobility speaking about 'better days ahead,' but when edie says it, i somehow believe every word.

'the future will always be ours to make.' that's what she's told me. and not only that, but she also wants me at her side to see it. imagine that? someone like edelgard wanting to have someone like me around. it almost feels unreal.

i'm hoping to spend more time with edie. when the two of us are together, it's easy to forget about everything else."

#[ ♫ ] ── * answered #congrats on being the first person to hit a perfect score with her edie <3 #to no one's surprise dorothea has an incredibly high opinion of edelgard as well as an unwavering sense of devotion despite the two still #learning things about each other. fundamentally it boils down to edie making her feel valued as a person which is always (sadly) mindblowin #to her :sadcat: we obvs know that she's been dehumanized by the adrestian nobility her entire life so the fact that adrestia's future ruler #treats her with this level of respect / kindness / courtesy is something she never expected and in turn appreciates more than words can say #she finds a lot of security in edelgard which is something she's always looked for. a future rooted in safety and stability. the idea that #she could be fully accepted into society + respected because of her character & hard work is largely appealing to her for apparent reasons #then there are the little things that color her opinions such as the fact that the house leaders being in attendance was a huge motivator #for her to apply to the academy when she did dhskjfghdfg edie more or less checks off all of her boxes in terms of what thea came #looking for at garreg mach

« If Putin succeeds in this aim the consequences for Europe will be horrendous. At the moment, the Russian forces facing the Baltic States are negligible. The units studied by Nato before 2022 are decimated, their equipment wrecked and crews slaughtered in Ukraine. The minute the war there ends, Putin will start to reconstitute and reinforce them. Unless Nato immediately restores credible deterrence, the three Baltic states would soon become uninhabitable. Moreover, the subjugation of Ukraine will lead to a fresh wave of millions of refugees westward, aggravating the already very fragile domestic politics of many polities here. The money we refused to spend on Ukraine will then have to be raised twice over to deal with the aggravated threat. »

— Brendan Simms, Director, Centre for Geopolitics & Professor in the History of European International Relations, University of Cambridge. Writing at The New Statesman.

Prof. Simms makes a case for the recently elected Labour government in the UK making protection of Ukraine one of its priorities. Fortunately, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already voiced his support for Ukraine and visited President Zelenskyy in Kyiv after Russia's illegal invasion.

Appeasers and tankies are too addled to understand how kowtowing to Putin and his totalitarian Kremlin lickspittles would lead to disasters which would play out for decades. Pacifism and appeasement did not prevent World War II but only fueled its onset. Bullies never respect those who cave to them.

Respect for international boundaries is a foundation stone of peace and stability. Putin's invasion of Ukraine shows that peace and stability don't interest him. Putin's nostalgia for the decrepit Soviet Union and his ambition to be known as the Peter the Great of the 21st century are all that matter to him.
