Because greed is the point. You could characterize the hypothetical "lazy socialist" as greedy because they are being lazy and not contributing to the system that sustains their livelihood. With capitalism the system is that you make the system yourself and sell it to the highest bidder, and because the incentive is profit. Perhaps capitalism needs infinite growth so that the upper class can keep up with advancements that make higher standards of living cheaper for the lower class and in so doing maintain the relative wealth/livelihood gap. Just a thought.

"i was born this way" "i didn't choose to be like this" etc and it's like. ok. well. i choose every day to be a faggot and i'll continue making those choices actually.

i don't give a fuck what i was born as. being born one way or another doesn't make my identity any less political or politically neutral, so i may as well take credit for it

people in vampire media be like .... so they just suck the blood out? they don't find more inventive ways to survive with it? centuries of life, no one wants to get creative? take a cooking class?

but don't want to acknowledge the innovations of the vampire armand. like, my dude single-handedly came out with carbonated blood when the soda stream debuted in 1955. rat soup? invented it in the microwave in 1973. blood milkshakes? threw it together one night in his second favorite blender in 1998. blood fondue fountain? what did you think he was doing on september 11, 2001 in new york? stalking his boyfriend? NO. 👏 MAKING 👏 FUCKING 👏 MAGIC. 👏

don't insult my cooking mama princess armand de nothing, okay? gordon ramsey could never.

I greatly admire the stubborn tenacity of the person living near me who is slowly dismantling an old mobile home on their property and disposing of it two residential trash service transcans at a time. Could just go to the dump a few times, but no. They are cutting down every 2x4, every piece of drywall, and everything else, and stuffing it into those cans.

I'm sure my parents think there weren't any "signs" of me being trans so I must've made a rash decision that will ruin my life but when my older sister who, for the entire time I knew her, refused interact with kids unless it was to yell at them for being too loud/bothering her, decided she wanted kids, they never once questioned her. She has 4 now. I was the one who was always hanging out with younger kids, I even originally wanted to be a preschool teacher. I have 0 now, by choice, and don't want any.

Backstories are for fictional characters, not real people, live the kind of life that feels right to you.

Tumblr isn't dead

It's as dead as the sea floor, stairwells at the crack of dawn or any other liminal place you may encounter on your journey trough the world.

It only appears dead because this place isn't loud, its not something that yells at you to look at it.

No, you have to seek it out and look for it.

No part of this place is ever going to push itself onto you, you have to find it yourself.

And over time you find that the once seemingly lifeless place is full of people, you just don't realise that they are there or have been there.

A forest isn't empty just because you don't actively see any deer or boars walking around, but they are still there.

idk if it's just me but i'm glad that the majority of people outside of here believe tumblr is a dead site because like i've been here for 13 years and like this is my house??? i don't need thousands upon thousands of people flocking here it'd be like inviting chimps to a house party total fucking carnage

When they pull out that fucking Marjane Satrapi quote

[two-bees-poetry]

This is Bella! She is not a dog. She is a visiting emissary from the planet Belltron, home of the Bellas. She likes nuffles, and dislikes the shi tzus who live down the street, because they’re actually wicked aliens in disguise, and they make fun of her butt floofs when they’re uneven.

Unfortunately, Bella’s time on planet earth is coming to a close, but that’s only because she is almost done with her mission, and she needs to report her findings to the mothership.

Reblog Bella for love and hope in these trying times—let me know if you would like to hear more Bella lore, or receive more documentation of her species :))

So I saw a bunch of romance videos for Fenris on YouTube and since then I wanted to actually not pick the most popular flirty option on our first visit because I felt it was too sudden and coming a bit strong for my tastes of how I arguably projected myself onto Hawke in the limits of the game’s narrative. So getting the chance to actually play myself for the first time I chose to say stuff I cared for and oh my god if Fenris didn’t just open up like the most beautiful blooming flower. So gentle and fragile. His soft smile while complimenting Hawke implied him (I play Garrett) being worthy and fearless in contrast to Danarius’s usual guests, the way he cautiously tested the waters by saying he doesn’t want to bother Hawke with his sob stories, the way he softly chuckles and that line about practicing flattery for our next visit? Did you hear what I did in his intonation there? It totally was meant as a question! That was an invitation and a plea to come back again and spend more time together! Maker’s breath if he isn’t the most precious thing in the world! He’s so lonely and starved for connection and you say Anders is the only one who jumps you after you have shown him kindness? Fenris is also a hopeless romantic, he’s just too good at keeping his veneer of calm. It felt like I was watching the most beautiful pearl oyster opening by just softly listening to the waves! But then if you touch a little bit too close to the trauma asking how young he was when the tragedy happened he shuts down immediately. Oof. I want to gently hold him in the palms of my hands and take him home to Ferelden immediately! I heard people say that his is a story of getting rid of the shackles but still binding himself by their invisible force but the soft spoken longing when asking about your home makes me wonder if his trauma could be healed in another way as well. He didn’t sound rabid or as ready to pursue his enemies to the ends of the universe. He just wanted a home, a friend and a loved one. To live a little. And that is the most poignant tragedy.
