A Honda Civic Stan blog.

I also answer asks for car identification. I already know what car you drive. I'm just that good.

I hope we all draw impulse maids if/when he joins tumblr for realsies because it’s the perfect introduction. If he can’t deal with that he can’t deal with tumblr but if he’s chill with it we can coexist

Some people have long essays for why Viktor will s2's main antagonist. Meanwhile I think Viktor will be a main antagonistic because he's got some of the worst traits of a tech bro. Iykyk.

I do not believe that any modification ever could make a Honda civic 'cool'

I want your opinion on this

I think I can find a way to squeeze out some mental gymnastics by which I can technically agree. Oh, I've got it!

There's a stock EG Civic I see around sometimes, and it's the most basic spec that can be found - not the rarer, imperceptibly better looking facelifted model, not equipped with any cool option nor modification nor even alloy rims, preserved too poorly to be mint and not poorly enough to be heroic. Exactly like this picture I found looking up "civic" in a used car ad aggregator and sorting by cheapest.

And every time I see it I go "Civic! :D", like in one of my main's greatest posts.

Maybe the surprising rarity of hatchbacks of this generation is a factor (though local popularity hasn't quelled my fondness of Suzuki jeeps), but whatever the case, one arguably cannot modify that Civic in a way that makes it cool to me, per the logic by which something cannot become what it already is.

But regarding the intended meaning of "Civics aren't cool cars and no modification could make them such", well, not only could we be touching their bare metal and still not have a common ground (It's an electrics pun. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.), I disagree so hard that I am willing to go over every Civic and not just show a cool modified example, but even argue that the factory itself churned out something cool.

That's right. I'm doing a SERIES. That's how wrong you are.

Note for the poor-watersporting audience: Just because I'm not the type to cowardly shield myself from criticism by rattling out "i personally believe"s and "in my opinion"s doesn't mean I have the delusion to be dishing out statements of fact. Assertive statements the likes of the line above are to be taken as the friendly jest they are. Someone beat you to taking it seriously anyway, and community feedback about it was starkly negative.

which venues have you had your eye on in terms of selling poorly? 👀

hi okay I was gonna go through and screenshot all of them but I honestly can't be bothered to do that im sorry so I'm just gonna list them and then I'll do a couple screenshots as examples <3 also, I am going based off of available tickets compared to sold tickets, not amount of tickets sold. bc if you book a venue of a certain size I expect that d&p expect to sell close to that many tickets 🤷🏻‍♀️

venues that aren't selling well (imo): Berlin, Portland, Vancouver, San Diego, LA (seems like it's doing well but it's because they never opened the balcony don't let it fool you), Grand Prairie, Detroit, Milwaukee, Nashville

venues that aren't doing horribly but aren't anywhere close to being sold out either: Antwerpen (assuming balcony 2 was never opened), Denver, Kansas City, Austin, Chicago, NY, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Reading, Seattle n2 and Tysons n2 but to be fair there are sold out shows in those cities, Brisbane, Perth, Aukland

a few of the venues don't let you see the seating chart so I didn't include those anywhere, also I didnt bother checking any of the UK dates lmao. example screenshots under the cut if you want to know what I consider not selling well and not being close to selling out :)

not selling well:

not close to being sold out:

[reasonandempathy]

how can you reblog a Zionist post criticizing people who support Palestine for allowing themselves to be harmed in an effort to support Palestine (https://www.tumblr.com/reasonandempathy/743584944850354176/politics-is-fucking-soul-churning-it-really-is) while also seeming to respect Aaron Bushnell, who made the ultimate sacrifice in an effort to support Palestine? is it so unthinkable that people would be willing to act against their own interest to stop a genocide?

TLDR; that post isn't denying people can self-sacrifice to stop a genocide. That post is about taking the broader context into perspective, and remembering that Trump Is Still So Much Worse, so you should vote against him.

-------------------------------------

Was thinking about this one, actually.

Didn't know the person's broader political views until checking them out, and while it's important context for that person individually, but the post at large still, broadly, stands.

There is, undoubtedly, an aspect of political discourse that promotes people who would vote for Biden to stay home or vote for someone not Biden and not Trump, rooted in (to a much lesser extent than Bushnell, who was being compelled to be an active participant) not wanting to be complicit in that genocide.

What I took to be the main thrust of that post was to point out the unfortunately very, very real dynamic of not helping Biden win would, objectively, be worse for everyone including Palestinians if Trump wins. And in a truly, honestly Binary choice between D or R, there is a correct choice to make. It's Biden.

The first few paragraphs of that post are basic "don't be selective with your care." Which is true.

The rape of Israeli women, the Jewish Diaspora, The various tortures and war crimes inflicted by Hamas and the Houthis are not things to be forgotten nor supported. The world is fucking complicated and "Good Guys" are in incredibly short supply, but "Hooray Huthis" is what I'd call an incredibly fraught tightrope to walk.

----------

The main thrust of that post, though, is referring to people who know Trump is worse and have done extensive work broadcasting that Trump is, objectively, Worse for Palestinians. Worse for Women. Worse for the LGBTQ community. Worse for Non-Christians. Worse for BIPOC. It's pretty simple and reasonable to think that if Trump was in the White House he would find some way to be even worse right now than Biden is being.

But they still can't endorse or support Biden. Who is definitely horrible, but also objectively the better of the 2 options we have.

Which is why I said Politics is soul-churning. Because it is. Because, outside of any actual plan to get anyone else into the White House, it is objectively Better for the people I care about.

My fiance.

My friends.

My extended family.

My Neighbors.

My trade union (though I haven't been in it for a few years).

My city.

My values.

It is objectively Better for Biden to be in power than Trump, which, again, is the only realistic alternative to Trump. But it does mean voting for the guy. And, yeah, I'm in NY (not a secret). Maybe I could vote for the Justice Party or the Green Party or something else.

But I can't assume nobody else will do that, and ceding what small influence I have (.000008% of Biden's popular vote in 2020) to actually help people to instead assuage my personal beliefs is putting my comfort over that small, minuscule, but very Real influence in being able to help people.

I...have blood on my hands. (broadly) We all do. I just want to add less to it.
