[cipher-zoo]

The one piece ages are something that takes me out every single time...

And not in a "Oh they are all so young, how can they go through all of this" way, I am used tot hat in fiction

But in a way of... What do you mean, Kaku is younger than Law?

What do you mean, Katakuri is older than Doflamingo???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WAPOL IS YOUNGER THAN ROBIN?

while i’m on the topic of lines that took a hit in the official translation, this is another one that was pointed out to me by a friend because they translate it correctly in the anime, but not in the manga. this is after wapol is talking about how he’s better than everybody else because he’s a king, basically.

what luffy says in response to that here is approximately (in the first text bubble) “it doesn’t matter! if you’re a king, or if you’re a god…” (in the second text bubble) “it doesn’t matter who’s great and who’s not great!”

the mention of ‘or a god’ (神様だろうと/kami-sama darou to) here strikes me as particularly important, because this is the arc that introduces us to the will of D, well before luffy has punched any actual self-proclaimed gods. and i translated 偉い/erai here as ‘great’ but it should be understood in the sense of sort of ‘important/famous/eminent.’

I love how insulting this is. Luffy just wanders off after punching Wapol in the face. Everything about this fight is designed to be as humiliating as possible for Wapol. For that reason it’s an extremely cathartic fight, especially after that flashback.

Okay, so there are four (4) statewide initiatives on the Washington State ballot this year, all funded and backed by a California hedge-fund manager named Brian Haywood. He’s your usual hedge-fund dickhead, and has worked with the MAGA-pilled Washington State GOP to dump several million dollars into these.

So, what are they?

Two are “fuck yeah climate change” initiatives, the pro-carbon pro-global-warming horseshit you’d expect out of MAGAttry. These are I-2117 and I-2066. 2066 discourages electrification and requires more availability and use of natural gas. 2117 repeals sections of the 2021 Washington Climate Commitment Act and prohibits the state from discouraging use of carbon-based fuels via carbon caps or investments.

So those are a big two FUCK YOU NO. How about the others?

The next one is a tax cut focused on the very wealthy. I-2109 blows a massive hole in the already-underfunded education budget by massively cutting taxes on the state’s 4000 wealthiest people, making our already-regressive tax system super extra regressive. Very Trumpian, so there’s no wonder the MAGAts like this one a lot.

The last one is one of those “medical choice!” amendments that is really about “choosing to go bankrupt because people don’t understand maths.”

I-2124 seeks to eliminate WA Cares, the state’s long-term-healthcare insurance programme. If you love going bankrupt when you’re old and too sick to work so you can end up dying penniless and possibly homeless, this is definitely the initiative for you!

Obviously, I am unimpressed. Brian Heywood moved up here to be our new Tim Eyman after Original Tim Eyman did too many crimes and so isn’t running initiative campaigns anymore. The difference is that while Eyman was making a business out of it and making money – or trying to – Heywood already has all the money he needs so doesn’t have to cash in the same ways.

So please vote no on all of these, ‘k? I’m not super impressed by Defend Washington‘s weirdly vague website, but they do have at least some information on all the initiatives and why you shouldn’t vote for them.

Two hands, two fingers each means giving four fingers to this bullshit.

Vote no across the board on statewide initiatives in 2024.

21 days remain.
