The Wire
BASHIR: So, that's it then. You're going to just give up and let them win.
GARAK: Them, Doctor?
BASHIR: The Central Command, the Obsidian Order, whoever it is who exiled you here. You're just going to roll over and die, let them destroy you, give up any hope of ever seeing Cardassia again.
GARAK: Doctor, did anyone ever tell you that you are an infuriating pest?
BASHIR: Chief O'Brien all the time, and I don't pay any attention to him either.

Our Man Bashir
BASHIR: Is that what they taught you in the Obsidian Order? To give up when things get tough?
GARAK: As a matter of fact, they did. That's why I've managed to stay alive while most of my colleagues are dead. Because I know when to walk away. And that time is now. And you'd know that, Doctor, if you were a real intelligence agent.
Hm. Thinking.
(*julian bashir voice* okay but what if I quite simply didn’t let you give up just like that tho. Neither on yourself nor on other people. What then.
Garak’s soul vibrating at some supersonic exceedingly horny pitch as he’s bleeding freely from the neck: …I’m listening)

Laundry stripping may be popular in certain circles, but it's important to understand the science behind the deep-cleaning practice before you decide to give it a try. Ultimately, stripping some fabrics (like silk and wool) can actually do more damage than good—and utilizing this method too frequently can prematurely age your garments.
[…]
[Cleancult CEO Ryan] Lupberger advises against the practice altogether, especially if you were considering Borax. "It's one of the products people often use to strip laundry, but is also an irritant. It can lead to skin irritation or a rash and respiratory side effects," he says, noting that there are concerns for exposure to humans, as well as pets.
[…]
The shock of laundry stripping is the water—the process results in a dark, seemingly disgusting pool of filth. In reality, this discoloration is largely caused by hot water leeching the dye in your clothes, causing them to run. Stripping can, however, help remove dirt, lingering body oils, detergent residue, and hard water minerals; together these soils do contribute in part to that brown-gray water, says Lupberger.
According to Tide scientist Jennifer Ahoni, "Our research and laundry expertise suggests that there are more effective methods to remove build-up on fabrics." Per Tide's findings, continues Ahoni, the stripping process can actually cause issues with many textiles. "The mechanism by which washing soda precipitates out water hardness can actually form new soap scum residues on fabrics," she says. "Additionally, we have learned that low wash pH is an effective method for soap scum removal, and washing soda raises wash pH—which is the opposite direction." Not to mention the fact that washing soda can also deactivate some detergent components, preventing your wash from getting extra clean in the first place.

For gwuncan: How do they make up/apologize after an argument?
Gwuncan, despite popular opinion, doesn’t argue very often.
In fact, their first arguement was interrupted when one of them realized that they’d never argued before. It actually stops the arguement entirely as they try to figure out if the fact that it took them months to have an arguement is healthy or not, because they have zero examples of a healthy relationship to compare to.
As for when they do argue, it usually ends with one of them pouting and not talking to the other, and whoever is in the wrong whether it be the pouting one or not will apologize, usually with the other’s favorite snack & drink as an incentive.

After having played through the mass effect trilogy 3 times now i keep coming back to the same question.......
what is everyone's obsession with Garrus??? He's cool ig but 10+ years of seeing fanart of this dude gave me the expectations that he'd be much more interesting, especially his romance which is sweet but underwhelming and I def wouldn't say it's leagues above anyone elses. It's actually been very disappointing ngl 😔 why does the game and fandom seem to presume that hes ur canonical best friend, sorry gang Legion was my #1 homie

i noticed in Triage, when Shidou enters his house everyone in his family (except himself) has an accessory with this sort of gray paisley pattern on it ? the scarf and belts specifically--
and at the scene at the very end, Shidou's now wearing a belt with that pattern (which I want to think is his wife's belt since it's tied the same way)
i haven't seen anyone bring this up before. I don't have any solid theories on it but I'd like to see what other ppl think. more specifically I'm curious that everyone has that pattern on a belt except the youngest kid, who has it around their neck ?

homochadensistm was acting nice in that exchange with you, but on her blog she posts many racist memes about arabs, talks about different palestinian journalists she thinks should be targeted by the israeli army, so on. so the ‘civility’ with you i think is a show. but i do want to let you know, there are many jews that are deeply opposed to zionism and the actions of the israeli government, who want to see a free palestine. i am very involved with anti-zionist jewish organizing in solidarity with palestine. i wish there were more of us
I know she is and ive seen her memes. Were being civil because im tired not because of anything else tbh. Also i wanna bring uo the double standard here, if i were to post the memes she posts about jews, id get attacked and kicked off of tumblr but where is that when it comes to her? I personally would post memes about jews because im respectful towards other religions(they aren’t, though i would Post them about zionists) honestly i dint think she has regard for palestinian lives but i dont even care ag this point what other people think. I mean just look at her profile pic, that in itself is racism and bigotry but no shes a zionist nothing applies to her. I dint mind being civil with people who treat me with respect, that does not mean i like them nor does it mean i agree with then in any way (I DO NOT)I genuinly wouldnt care what hapoens to ang genocidal zionist (exceot the obvious exclusions of kids and the mentally disabled) because they for a fact know what they stand for is wrong yet they spew useless and baseless facts to try and justify and wipe the blood in their hands. Hinestky dm me privately i would love to have a conversation with cuz you seem like a genuinly nice person. Hope you have a great day and
FREE PALESTINE🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Now im gonna show you some memes i have stored.
(No hate towards jews, tons towards zionists) 🫶🏼🫶🏼

when it's been so long since you've read a fic that you forget about it and you find it in the search tags and start reading it again
and it's great, if a little familiar, but you've read a lot of these sorts of fics bc you like this tag a lot, so you assume it's nothing
but then the deja vu starts adding up and you start to wonder
and then moments before the great big Plot Twist Reveal happens you're suddenly like ah hell this is the bloody sundial fic again isn't it
smh this has to be the fourth time yet
