"Words have meanings" isn't actually a very accurate statement. It would be more accurate to say, "Meanings have words."

⚡️Розвідник Роман ЧЕРВІНСЬКИЙ - за ґратами! Кому він "НЕ УГОДНИЙ"?
Любовь Суходоля:
Суддя продовжив тримання під вартою.
На вулиці я не витримала і просто розплакалася. Добре, хоч дощ(
Ми вже в рашці?
Я не знаю, що вічуває той суддя, але мені погано.
Вкотре суддя «витер ноги» і об мене також. За це він отримає зарплату, може премію. Йому покажуть, що його роботу цінують.
А мене, а тих хто був у суді сьогодні? А самого пана Романа?
Після засіданні я вийшла на вулицю в якій країні?
Свідок не з’явився.
Адвокати готують матеріали для ��ередачі в Європейський суд.
Можете пошукати сьогоднішні відео, послухайте, що казав пан Роман.
Я не можу сьогодні писати.

Шевченківський суд Києва взяв під варту колишнього співробітника ГУР МО і СБУ, офіцера Сил спеціальних операцій (ССО) Романа Червінського у справу про спробу викрадення російського літака. На думку слідства, це призвело до обстрілу аеродрому "Канатове" на Кіровоградщині у липні 2022 року. Рішенння оголосила суддя Олена Чайка. Це та сама суддя, котра 2022 року «відмазала» заступика голови ОП Олега Татарова та закрила його справу. Натомість полковника СБУ Романа Червінського, учасника операцій по знищенню терористів «гіві», «мотороли», викрадення у бойовиків важливого свідка у справі катастрофи Боїнга МН17 Цемаха - арештовано.

Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness.
— Viktor Frankl

It's so cruel that if a black schizophrenic person wants any kind of help, they probably have to call 911, a centralized line for all emergency services. Even if they don't intend to call the police, there's a chance of them being sent in place of other emergency services. If you ask for them not to be called, you'll rarely be listened to. Then, the advice for dealing with police is to be in complete control of yourself, not be erratic in the slightest way because it gives ground for your death. So if you are someone who is not in control of yourself, who has a disorder that effects your ability to control your speech, body, mind, etc etc, you cannot call for help without risking death or institutionalization

"The camera was positioned in a storage yard 66 metres away."
Or, in other words, 73 yards.

its so fucking absurd how necro cav marriage is frowned upon as if getting married is somehow more inappropriate than whatever the fuck silas and colum have going on. ianthe tridentarius has the legitimate in-universe grounds to look at magnus and abigail and think "wow how unnatural. thank god I'm normal"
#tlt gender studies#a genuinely great analogy for homophobia though#bc its an arbitrary rule meant to preserve exploitative systems of power#but its also so fucking funny#the locked tomb#tlt#gideon the ninth#ianthe tridentarius

*for the purposes of this poll, "ears pierced" refers to a "standard" lobe piercing, in the middle of the lobe
i'm asking b/c everyone i grew up with who was AFAB got their ears pierced at birth, but i know it's not universal!
#sb and l rambles#polls#idk if these buckets make any sense -- they are basically totally arbitrary#the first bucket being 0 to 5 years is intended to be ''ages where it's generally the parent's choice''

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?
Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.
I hope this is the right meme.
More silliness below.
This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.
The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.
You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.
Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.
I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.
Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.
Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.
Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.
The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.
One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.
They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.
You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!
#team fortress 2#tf2#tf2 medic#tf2 scout#tf2 spy#tf2 heavy#tf2 soldier#Medic's reaction to a stick of butter is 100% based on my own reaction after reading an American recipe for the first time#Like I didn't know butter in America came in this normed stick-form I genuinely thought it was some arbitrary unit like ??? A Stick??#As in I didn't know if the recipe required the butter to be in this specific shape; like sometimes you have to add butter in shaves or molt#no biggie lemme whittle away at my butter block until it's shaped like a stick? And then I learnt it was the portions that butter comes in#Cut me some slack; I'm used to recipes using eggs as the scale-up ingredient; not butter#I also learnt that medical labels is where metric units are mostly encountered simply because medicine is international#But that is the main reason why I think Medic would not realise he'd have to deal with imperial units until he goes grocery shopping#The man's just been ignoring the “oz” information right below everything he's ever used; out of sight out of mind#I want to think Engi is the most normal person about the entire metric-imperial-units thing he just does some mental arithmetic and done#King just learned système international d'unités during one of his 11 phds; it's not unrealistic

Full respect to mxtx and her apparent tall people kink but as much as I believe it's her right to make every single character a fucking tree, I strongly disagree with jiang cheng's canon height being 185cm. Than man should be 179cm exactly. Just barely shy of 180cm. I think even if you do not grow up with an inferiority complex topping out at this height legally requires you to develop it.
179 cm, incidentally, translates to 5'10.5" if my online sources are to be believed. Which, in a beautiful alliance of cross-measurement system solidarity, is also a perfect height to be deeply insecure about! If someone asks you how tall you are and you answer 5'10.5" you sound desperate. But if you round up to 5'11" you are technically lying about your height and any loose shixiong within ear shot may loudly call you out on it, making you look even more desperate. You can't win. Just like Jiang Cheng.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#everyone else can remain beanpoles just to make things harder for jc#If he was 5'11“ that's 181 cm#which may be cause for height insecurity in the us but is perfectly fine in the rest of the world that uses normal numbers.#179cm gives you insecurity no matter HOW you count#nhs will pat jiang cheng's pack and declare the two of them the short king club and jiang cheng will explode#he is WELL ABOVE AVERAGE!!!#THESE CUTOFFS ARE COMPLETELY ARBITRARY#and no one will listen to him

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.
#star trek#muppets#data tng#picard#tng#kermit#fan art#next gen#okay so like…#this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also#human is arbitrary#especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species#human is fucking arbitrary#data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans#but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize#nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion#or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify#we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading#in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets#and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard#Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled#just because they can't sing or travel by map
