#please just be nice

i also want to say as general tips:

it is not helpful to be in that area right now unless you are essential personnel. call aid organizations and see what they need if you feel the need to show up as a volunteer

turning random hoses on or encouraging others to turn hoses on is a waste of very limited water resources and water pressure, which is a very real threat and has already come over on the radio as an issue that's cost structures and lives. you cannot put out these fires with a hose.

this is not the time to make a fun dig at los angeles or how it's managed or what firefighters are doing. this is apocalyptic for this state and everyone is doing their best. i for sure do not want to see anyone criticizing fire fighters who are doing absolutely everything they can and have been fighting now for two days non stop. they know what they're doing more than you do.

i've seen some of the ugliest stuff i have ever, ever seen on social media in the last twenty four hours, from progressives and from conservatives and from people outside this country, aimed at this state. you frankly know absolutely nothing about how water and fire are managed here, about the people that this is going to affect the worst, or about how much is going into fighting this. i'm just asking you to have a little bit of compassion and think before you speak on this.

fun fact: if you don't understand someone's pronouns or identity, you can still just respect it! call people by it pronouns if its it's only listed ones! let that trans man call himself a lesbian! let people flip flop between identities by the day!

it costs literally 0 dollars to respect people and how they want to present.

Tbh I never understood the people who get upset at the idea pikmin 4 may be a reboot? I'm not even talking about those who disagree with the idea or otherwise think it isn't a reboot. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm talking about the people who get heated over it. Who insist it would be a terrible choice, that it makes no sense, that Nintendo "clearly" doesn't care about the story if that's the case, and insults anyone who suggests it may be a reboot.

Like... It kinda does make sense, though? The franchise is over 20 years old now and has been put on pause for roughly a decade; the series has a few new writers, old writers could have changed their minds on some things, and that's not even getting into the fact that most people playing Pikmin 4 would be new to the series, and a good chunk of returning players are casuals who may have forgotten certain story details. Hell, I'd argue a decent number of players starting with Pikmin 4 hadn't even been BORN yet when Pikmin 3 was released.

Regardless if you think Pikmin 4 is a reboot, I think it's easy to see why it potentially being one would be a good call on Nintendo's part. It gives them the freedom to do what they want/need to do with the story while not being held back by 10-20 year old details. They'd also get to reverse any more questionable choices, like Pangea Ultima in Pikmin 3.

It gives the story a fresh start. Again, if you think it needed it or that it even is a fresh start is your own call. I just never understood the people who got like... Angry over it, to the point of insulting Nintendo and anyone who thought it may be a reboot over it.

Love when people think they’re a champion of the people for chewing out an underpaid part time library worker over a policy we have no control over

Just for boundary sake, do you mind if anti-endos interact/use emotes from you? /genq

We don't actively associate with syscourse, and it's just a personal boundary. But we wanted to ask first.

~ 🌌🐾

we are a very big system (1000+) so we have alters on all sides of sysmcourse so our main blog is neutral for the comfort of our system members (we keep all blogs we have that are pro or anti on endos seperate from our main blog for this reason)

So yes you may! All we care is that you be nice!

It's hard to have a collective stance and we have up on that a while ago, we are all our own beings with our own beliefs!!!

I think it’s mostly the autism but I always get frustrated with activism posts that condemn people for using an out of date term yet don’t provide the alternative word/info that is up to date/correct. How am I supposed to know what to say if you don’t tell me or add information on where to learn. The internet is so full of advertising that saying “I don’t owe you education” is a detriment to activism because non sponsored sources are difficult to find for the average person. I get that we’re all tired but it’s better to just add the link then to fight people about it in the replies.

Here is YOUR friendly reminder to be kind to your local pharmacies this time of year. Please, please just be nice, if I have one more person yell at me I am going to either cry or run into the forest and completely isolate myself from society.

more people gotta try this shit where bill has not improved and will not change but he's just chilling so its fine probably. its great

[penvisions]

at this point you should take it as a compliment that your fics keep getting plagerized. like your fics are so good that these idiots can’t help but try and be you!

non, the wording of this is…oh wow, this is a very…backwards way of saying something. i’m not sure how to take this but i don’t think i like it and i don’t want to upset you if you genuinely meant well…

[chaosandteatime]

Exactly.

Why harm others? Are you doing this to cope with the suffering that was inflicted upon you? Is this your form of defense? Bringing others down will only increase the weight upon your soul.

You deserve love, but first, you must love yourself.

some ppl get so mad when ppl tell them to not be mean to strangers. you see long posts like ‘its not ableist to correct bad hygine’ ok maybe its not. whatever. but its also not your moral obligation to tell someone you barely know how greasy their hair is. like the likelyhood they know is pretty large, you can just say. nothing.

The way Nightshade is confirmed to use they/them and Optimus apologized and moved on properly is so nice

[tired-and-swaggy]

the rest of the fucking internet pisses me off so much. a man went viral on Twitter for literally just loving the library. like that’s it. he loved the library. and the the comments were bullying this man so much he is resigning from his job. i am genuinely so upset for this man all he did was spread “library joy” and it was just the kindest and sweetest content on the internet but people just hate seeing genuine and kind people like that. i hope he is doing all right.
