#and kinda gross imo

Just a quick friendly reminder that when a company says their chickens are “free range” chances are they really mean “we meet the bare minimum legal requirement of giving the chickens a very small space to walk around in” cause they don’t give a damn about the chicken’s life, they just want a fancy label to put on their packaging so well meaning but not well informed people choose them to buy from

I can’t say a perfect alternative, I just want people to know that the label doesn’t really do much but say the chickens had the bare minimum rather than hell. I’m not against eating chickens or anything (hell, I own chickens, but that doesn’t stop me from eating chicken nuggets) but I do feel it’s worth bringing up so people know

trying to find an mp3 player that looks like it's from 10-20 years ago, not an apple product, no touch screen, the screen doesn't even have to be in color, it doesn't need bluetooth, doesn't need amazing sound quality as i'd only be using cheap earphones, at least 16gb OR accepts micro sd cards... and ideally comes in fun colors.

apparently there's ONE line that fits this, but it was discontinued somewhat recently. there are some used ones on ebay, but even ones that aren't working are being sold for more than the (probably clearance) prices that stores still list them under.

one gripe i have with subtitles for stuff like Squid Game is that it translates some things that don't need to be, and doesn't translate some things that would be helpful. for the latter, in season 1 when Saebyeok says her name to Gihun, he says "that's a beautiful name, it doesn't really suit you though". I'm sure to many people watching, they'd just have to go ".... is it?" because they don't know that Saebyeok means dawn. her name is Dawn. i don't want them to translate that every time lol but i feel like that one scene could have had a parenthetical saying "saebyeok means dawn". Minyeo, when she says her name, says something like "yes that's my real name", i think. if the subtitles explained that she said that because Minyeo means "beautiful woman" that would have been helpful to people lol.

as for the former, ive always hated how Korean stuff translates words like oppa unnie hyung and noona in subtitles. Minyeo calls Deoksu oppa and the subtitles say "old man" but it doesn't mean that, lol. it does mean she's calling him older than her, but it's more like "big bro". but honestly it's SUCH a standard Korean thing that i kinda just wish it was left as oppa. if you watching something in the Korean language, then oppa unnie hyung and noona are just things you'll have to learn. it's not hard lol. girls call older boys who they're close to "oppa". boys call older girls who they're close to "noona". boys call older boys "hyung", girls call older girls "unnie". it's a sign of deference to an older person but also closeness. they literally mean sister and brother, but translating them as "brother" or "sister" or "old man" feel.... unnatural in English lol. the subtitles often translate them as just the character's name, like when Ali says Hyung the subtitles say Sangwoo. that's correct. but when the subtitles say big bro or old man, that's just... nobody talks like that in English lol

Sorry this is completely random but Fates could've gone a long way towards fixing the fuckedupedness of Corrin x Hoshidan Royals S-Supports by making the very simple, tiny change of having the revelation (ha) that they don't actually have the same father moved to their respective A-Supports... Like I would have still not really agreed with the concept but honestly that would make so much difference lmao... Like ok you find out you're not biological siblings and then you potentially HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT TIME between unlocking the next support for your relationship to change with this person and to start seeing them in a different way... It's not a lot better, but obviously devs were determined not to break the rule of the player character being able to marry ANYONE (so long as you're being heterosexual of course, incest is fine but god FORBID you be gay with anyone except our few pre selected Queer Characters™)

I don’t eat pig meat but that sounds so poetic and it makes me want to eat bacon

Man I love unfollowing + blocking people that think it’s cool to post leaks or fan art of leaks, especially with no tags

[nobodybetterlookatme]

how are you feeling today? did you make it through unscathed?

Yeah I definitely didn't 😭 I've been hella congested all day and I definitely have a cough, but it's more bc my throat is bugging me than anything. I don't think I technically have a fever, my temp's just slightly elevated from where it normally is. It's fucking miserable bc I can't breathe through my nose and the damn thing fucking hurts, and I'm kinda uncomfortable and a little achy, but other than that I'm mostly just tired and a little hazy and generally just don't feel great, so I'm not dying like my partner was lmao. But yeah, all this to say that I'm fucking pissed at him and I literally feel like a goddamn plague rat 😭😭

New Guy BA:

Guy: “flesh is a really gross word, can we talk about that? it is way worse than moist. thoughts?”

Honey (just my first reaction tbh): “and prayers because you, sir, are absolutely wrong”

[hauntedtotem]

I think the biggest red flag for me regarding the hopelesspeaches and lio convoy stuff, their entire group (especially lio) has near identical speech patterns and dynamics as my mom's online friend group. Which is less of a red flag and more of a raging wildfire tbh

it’s weird to point out how hot you think someone is for respecting/supporting their partner who is not you js

I was super bored and started drawing up redesign concepts for Beelzebub from helluva. and I'm very sad that

1) her design never reflects any aspect of gluttony, pestilence, or flies. if it does it's very minimal and you have to go digging for it on the Wiki page

and 2) they wasted such a good opportunity to do a twist on greed and instead focused on corporate 80s yuppie culture type of gluttony. give me a power-hungry control freak who spreads pestilence and disease down in hell via...idk like food production

make her a major player in the systems that oppress the imps in hell. make her an evil corporate loser that's all I ask

I was going to share this here because of the name (I mean, he did make them the right size and shape...), but honestly I listened to it and was like "damn, that's actually nice"

Ok so I just looked at the album this is from to see if this was a shortened version of a full song (it isn't) and saw that they also had songs called things like "Wwhy Do They Call It A Oven When You Of In The Cold Food And Of Out The Hot Food" and "Fucked Up in the Crib Drinkin' Doctor Bob" and these are all videos that I would click on. The worms one is my favorite tho

greetings!

i watched ds9 recently and i was wondering if you had ever talked about dukat and kira specifically? dukats fixation on kira makes my stomach turn and i never truly understood why he was so obsessed with her. (and bajor overall, honestly. bro literally became bajora for a while! like! what!? whose idea was that!?)

anyway, maybe i just need a few more rewatches but hes just so. SO. creepy and off putting so i cant help but be fascinated. i think i get his Thing™ for sisko but his Thing™ for kira always kinda confused me even after the revelation about her mom. cause to me that feels like a reason he should distance himself rather than do... whatever the fuck that was

thanks for (co) writing characters that cause such visceral reactions even decades later! they all rotate in the lazy susan that is my brain rent free <3

IMO, Dukat is obsessed with Kira because he is a malignant, predatory narcissist who lives for conquest and control and gets off on imposing his will on others. Kira's loathing for him makes her an object of desire, and "winning" her would validate his narcissism. In his mind, she's Bajor and Bajor is her, and he's sure she'd end up building a statue to him if she'd just give him a chance.

Also the mom thing probably makes him feel even more entitled to Kira. Gross.

So, yeah, Dukat's interest in Kira is supposed to creep you out. Because it's super creepy.

every time someone makes a counter argument to people who say 'why would edmund sell out his family for some turkish delight it's gross' with 'it was war time and there was a ration on sugar' or countless other defences of the choice of sweet my eye twitches cos like yeh that IS true (as well as turkish delight probably being a novelty in the uk at the time to feel like an indulgent treat whereas it's much more common place now, it's also quite a bit different from a lot of traditional british sweets lol... like imagine if c.s. lewis had gone for a stick of rock instead lol like the sentiment just wouldn't feel the same imo lol) but the thing is... that TOTALLY misses the point of why edmund made that decision lol

like, you have to remember that at the beginning of the story edmund is feeling resentful and bitter towards his other siblings and the rest of his family. he wasn't as confident as peter or as intelligent as susan or as sweet as lucy, he felt undervalued and under-appreciated by everyone in his life so it's fairly clear that when he meets a beautiful woman offering him (and him alone) all the sweets he could ever eat and a seat next to her ruling an entire kingdom away from his siblings and the rest of his family? like of COURSE he would have jumped at that opportunity lol!

like edmund's whole arc in the story is to being less selfish and to realise his family DOES value & love him lol it's not a complicated message to get behind lol but idk people get fixated on the turkish delight thing (a bit how people get fixated on the door thing in titanic but like that's an argument for another day lol) that they kinda forget what c.s. lewis was trying to actually say with that part of the story lol
