"maybe meng shi WANTED to work in a brothel"

They turned Narinder into the good guy by comparison.

That's what Unholy Alliance did. By confirming that Narinder was sealed because he was resurrecting his followers, thus making the other bishops jealous of his power, Jojo made Narinder into the victim and the bishops into the victimizers.

That's why TV Tropes entrys like this exist now.

"He used to be nice, but then his big bad siblings sealed him away, and now he's mean"

It's almost as if this was tailor-made to cater to Narinder woobifiers. I genuinely fear for the story's future.

Every day I wake up and brace myself for what incomprehensible bullshit the Americans have come up with now.

We're all so screwed.

I'm sorry. That fucking TikTok water cup is 45 goddamn dollars?????

And people have a shit ton of them because they come in different colors????

IT'S A FUCKING WATER CUP.

Whoa! Are there any... implications of this? If it is absolutely true that everyone who does not already support a universal healthcare system thinks that some people who get sick and can't pay deserve to die, what does that mean for sharing a body politic with people who are both evil and perfectly smooth liars, telling you semi-coherent oppositions that must, according to this fuckface, be planned and malicious lies?

Nothing? It's just inculcating the belief that everyone outside the group of "progressives" or "leftists" is evil, with none of them being ignorant or misguided? Hoo wee!

i'd probably be pretty interested in my American Literature class if i didn't find reading Puritan religious nonfiction slightly uncomfortable and the teacher making the class almost insufferably uninteresting which is kind of a big deal for someone with ADHD like myself

Triton has Intermittent Explosive Disorder and it's clearly not being treated. Yeah, no shit she wanted away from him, he's got problems and he can't break anything neat she finds on land. I'm not sure I can think of ANY teenagers who'd want to hang out with an unwell parent who sometimes snaps and breaks everything.

The discussion around Ariel TheLittleMermaid baffles me bc if my dad literally destroyed a bunch of stuff I collected in front of me in a terrifyingly violent display of anger and I had a witch offer me an out if I could score the boy I thought was hot, my name would be on that dotted line before you can say "poor unfortunate soul". What do you mean she's stupid, her dad ravaged her Special Interest Cave like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, I would also run the fuck away

[cosmiiqueer]

can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting

stop calling the arrested guy the shooter. stop laundering the cops' narrative. the man who was arrested is a suspect until proven otherwise.

Now that Eurovision is over, I want you all, especially the Americans, to take a good hard look at how the voting results turned out when people boycotted the event.

In the UK, the viewing figures were down about 2 million people compared to last year. Up to 2 million people made the conscious decision to not watch and not vote because of Israel's inclusion.

The final results of the public vote, Israel came in first place in the UK and got 12 points. Because the only people watching and voting were people who backed Israel or at least didn’t care one way or another.

This doesn't matter. It's a music contest. The boycott was still the right thing to do because it is just a show at the end of the day, and the viewing figures have more impact than the results.

But it is also a good object lesson to show you what happens if you boycott a vote over something that does matter. Choosing not to vote in, let's say, a presidential election will have similar results.

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.

like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!

The quickest way to my heart is essay no citation needed.

I love how mqf's oficial description is something like: a good heart who wants to help others but then you read the novel and his reaction to lqg trapping ten infected men who are crying in panic is "great now I can start to work in my experiments with decomposed people to find a cure" and gets out a lot of needles, which makes the man cry even harder.

Even if we only get bits of the other Cang Qiong sect leader's we can reach the conclusion that no one there is normal, sqq is just biased.

14 yrs ago i started playing magic the gathering as a kid, and i had the dream to do art for them

3 yrs ago i tweeted about those dreams:

today i’ve released 11 official magic the gathering cards, and it’s honestly so surreal and insane to me! i did that!! i fulfilled a childhood dream, and i honestly couldn’t be more proud 🥹

I have to remember every 5 years that when I was a little kid my dad was having obsessive spirals about things he did wrong like 30 years prior and his talked to his therapist about it and you know what they did NOT say. They did not say "hmmm well have you learned your lesson changed your behavior and atoned?"

They said "that sounds like a really unhelpful and distressing thing that your brain is making you think about All The Time. How about when that happens you try to think about something that makes you happy instead"

(My dad carried a picture of me at age 4 with a large inflatable dinosaur in his wallet for this purpose) (hard to ruminate about past failures when looking at a picture of your kid enjoying a large inflatable dinosaur)

Anyway. Fucking... stop thinking you can Solve Ethics by spiraling you fool. It's the Ethics Cuckoo. Fuck that guy
