The bats use the metric system. You can not tell me that the bats would use inches, feet, yards and miles when centimeters, meters, and kilometres are right there.
#the waynes use the imperial system because they are dirty little Americans#but the bats are all logic#logically Metric is better#batfam#dc#batfamily#tim drake#jason todd#dick grayson#damian wayne#bruce wayne#stephanie brown#barbra gordon#cassandra cain#duke thomas#alfred penyworth#although Alfred has always used the metric system. being British and all

Maturing is realizing the Waffle House Index is a shitty unit of "measuring" the severity of a catastrophe, and we should never have plainly and callously celebrated a company that is willing to sacrifice their employees during a hurricane for below-par food. We should never celebrate this, anyway, but the sheer level of crass jokes that are associated with this "metric" is uniquely cruel.
#politics#us politcs#why is Wikipedia describing the waffle house index as an 'informal but USEFUL metric' what the actual fuck#how are y'all This callous#also i dont think this is a useful metric notwithstanding everything else...#...because you're fundamentally a business and encouraging people to Brave A Hurricane or whatever is Dangerous actually :)#i feel like all this does is make people take extreme weather LESS seriously. it is by NO means a 'useful metric'#also don't come at me for saying their food is below-par. my opinion of them is irrevocably sullied because of shit like that#and i am not willing to give them grace and understanding in this. they can handle me saying their food is Not Worth Lives

"the europeans" did you know that most of the world uses kg and meters including south America. unitedstatians are not beating the uneducated idiot burger allegations.
all these anons are doing is proving america truly is the greatest nation in the world, as it is becoming more and more apparent that we are in fact the only nation where people make jokes! god bless
#i'm sorry to all the followers i get like five of these a week and i delete them but like#the sheer dumbass condescension of europeans (because it is damn near universally europeans who make these comments) is so funny#you may not be the only continent who uses the metric system#but you sure are the only continent who gets this pissy when people make fun of it lmao

I wonder how much of the world economy is distorted by the fact that the US dollar dominates it and so the US could (if it doesn't already) inflate it's own economy at will.
Maybe Apple isn't worth billions of dollars. I don't know, I never used an iPhone.
#cosas mias#I mean countries like China produce lots more of tangible stuff than the US by that metric they're worth more#all the production of Argentina isn't suddenly worthless because the peso declines against the dollar

mdzs tumblr post au but it’s just “what were you doing at the devil’s sacrament” (nightless city)
#i’ve gotten there in my reread and while wwx def didn’t have good intentions *going* there#(he did want to vent his anger; ‘they finally attacked first!’ etc)#frankly i don’t see it as any different from a battle they’d initiated#(and also the actual thing WAS actually a battle they iniated even if wwx was waiting for that to happen but ignoring that)#it was a pledge against him and one with intention of attack#jgs literally said ‘and tomorrow we’ll scatter the ashes of the rest of the wen dogs and the yiling patriarch wei ying’#whether he meant it literally or not doesn’t matter bc at some point they *were going to attack*#and everyone there came to sign up for that right? everyone was prepared to face wwx in battle already right?#and if they WEREN’T prepared to do that and were just there for reputation points THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE#THAT’S ON THEM#so no they weren’t planning to be attacked BY wwx but they WERE planning to attack wwx which should be the same thing#the only difference is who has the advantage of surprise… which they were planning to use to their advantage#so regardless of wwx’s intentions (and their impacts on his morality if you care about that)#i do NOT think it’s fair to say he killed x thousand innocents/unprepared people/sth along those lines#that battle and those casualities were going to happen anyway the only difference was when#(and the only reason it IS painted as such an evil act rather than some heroic battle is because by all metrics wwx won)#so yeah 3000 cultivators… *what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament*#mdzs misc#mdzs

Me: yea so you see, Oltyx knew anger at his exile clouded his judgement sometimes, so as a messed up workaround he commissioned a cryptek to augment his mind with partial copies of distinct parts of his own consciousness. However, given his general state of mind, him and the 5 resulting subminds end up spending most of the time being unhealthily hostile towards each other. The subminds are too different to ever agree on something, and Oltyx is always so annoyed at their constant bickering and criticism of him that he never properly listens to their advice. But as the stakes get higher and he's forced to work through his anger and entitlement so he could save his people, Oltyx starts to be more gentle and trusting with his subminds, and in turn they start working together, so they could take better care of Oltyx. They're not even constantly on the edge due to specifics of their minds anymore! The 6 end up being an actual team where every member is valued and respected, which is an incredible metaphor for self-acceptance, because you can never be whole if you despise parts of yourself, however contradictory, and-
My cat: meow (give chicken)
#wh40k#twice dead king#oltyx#insane about the subminds. can you tell#im not even done with the book yet. and then theres another book#which they all should be in given its synopsis so i hope nobody dies lol#another thing im insane about is the amount of tragic love in oltyxs family but thats a given#i was expecting to read about like. meat. because flayers#dont get me wrong theres still a metric ton of it but i mean#p

I'm glad they left the casualty toll up for player interpretation because for better or worse at least it keeps people discussing DA2
If not this what else is left....do yall think Merrill uses the same ball of twine to find her way around town or does she buy a new one every day
#lets discuss the twine-based casualties because if you trip in hightown you WILL continue tripping all the way to lowtown (long ass stairs)#ironically discussing the explosion & the mage rebellion by extension over and over unavoidably nonstop is what Anders wanted#he's an engagement hound he's a metrics mogul he's fishing for replies and he's got a bite on the line

Hornet at Herrah's Altar • Dec. 2023
#p#composition#sonnet#archive#hornet#hollow knight#baby's first metrical break...what do we think.........#local poet is shocked to learn it has improved in the last 2 years despite writing very little. more at whatever time it wakes up#if you were there for my first hornet sonnet this is a rewrite of it that's actually good 🫶#I've always always always had fun playing with her relationship to the radiance...like she has to just. Not Dream and Not Want or else she#will fall to the infection. I guess you could make the argument that being a demigod grants her immunity but that's less interesting to me#The fight to remember her life and herself through the years of stasis while also shutting every emotion down. I think what we see of her i#the game—esp her emotion towards the end—is the cracks in her armor that she deliberately doesn't fix because she knows one way or another#all of this will end. the burden is off her shoulders

you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?
#new jersey girl seems to really like me that makes me happy#nobody's been attracted to me before#but it'll make me sad if she asks me out#because even though I LOVE her i think i'd have to say no just because i really imagine myself#with a boyfriend far more than a girlfriend lately and i don't want to put her into a relationship that might end up feeling like#misgendering...#aro#ace#aroace#aroacespec#aromantic#arospec#greyromantic#greyro#I said this#we've been walking all over campus together and she's um. not a very considerate walker i keep#almost getting pushed off the path so that's whyh i keep bumping into her lol#but also she seems to like standing/sitting near me?#and i said 'i think my face is a little...' because i was thinking it felt like it got too much sun#and she was like 'i think your face is a little too-- wait what did u say?'#and i said i didn't even use an adjective but said burnt/red was what i should have siad#and she just said 'i think your face is a little'#like is that an oblique compliment??#okay the funniest part is yesterday she said some random girl came up to her and said she looked pretty and she wasn't sure if it was#flirting or just a compliment so she doesn't even know what flirting is either lol#also she calls me Data now bc i told her about hwo my uncle said my parents consult me like picard consults data lol#tbh maybe i gave her the wrong signals by moisturizing when she was in my room last night?#(kept sticking my hand under my clothes. my roommate brought her in right after i showered)#i asked my roommated if that was weird and she thought it was fine but she might not be the best metric

me: possessiveness as a theme for the dark barons absolutely makes sense. in contrast to the hyperindividualism and isolation fostered in the un, the fold seems to be about how community itself can become strangling. the crowded street scenes, the busy webs of character connections. we have vesta and her sister smothered by family expectations, the mothers who are always around the corner and always ready to serve (even at the cost of their own life). kurushu on their tail, crisp and stifling. when everything is connected how much of a person can you be? dark sonia, a twisted mirror of the grandmother, preys on the grief and doubts of people who’ve lost family, who question their worth. dusty gives in to her to save the people he’s beholden to. baxford wanion’s first words on the stage are for the sake of his underling; because walden is his. even weepe-as-swinzey’s robber baron capitalism is possessive: what’s yours is mine, what’s mine is also mine. everything is about what you owe to each other, what they owe to you, a knotted network that culminates in paralyzing fear, because when you’re responsible for so many there’s so much more to lose.
also me: you sign one employment contract with dark sonia or baxford wanion and they’re out here saying the most alarming things. “i am what waits for you at the end and what knew you at the beginning” “never again will I lose what’s mine” this is seasonal work! where did you come from!
#moonward#midst spoilers#the United baronies were actually formed because SOME people couldn’t stop saying off putting things#At critical trade summits#and it was scaring the hoes (merchant group envoys)#kozma laszlo can excuse a lot of things but not whatever dark sonia is doing#saskia by this metric might have the potential to be the most terrifying dark baron of them all#she was working herself up to have a very expansive definition of her people!

In case you're wondering, I have a (not-so) secret fondness for bright shiny glowy colors, and that influences a lot of my design decisions.
(Also, I am personally proud of myself for using colors and shapes to show who's talking when they're not in frame. I think that was a very clever decision, and you can't tell me otherwise. Well, you can, you'd just be wrong.)

forever exhausted by the common conception that the worst thing a god could do is cheat on their spouse, and that this is somehow the moral standard we're expected to hold powerful beings too. never mind the rest - if they do not have fidelity, then they are objectively evil.
#this isn't even just about zeus at this point. though i find that discourse exhausting#the “hades is better than zeus because he NEVER cheated on his wife!!” as if this is the true metric of goodness#but i literally just saw a post with my own two eyes that shipping aphrodite with ares could be problematic because she's already married#it all feels so backwards to me.#like even ignoring the fact that these are obviously takes formed without understanding of the context of myths#it also just feels so cherry picked#ANYWAY
