Jgy is a class traitor this, jgy is the only person who cares about the common people that. Jgy is the type of guy who would scab during a strike, bring in a union-buster to earn favours from upper management, slowly work his way up to CEO and then give everyone the extra vacation days and payraises they were asking for anyway. Which is an extremely funny type of guy to be. Like, can we all take a break from arguing to agree how fucking hilarious that is?

At some point I want to write a whole thing about how Hunter is a complete deconstruction of the Mentor Figure. I often think about how he's definitely set up like one initially and then proceeds to teach Omega essentially jack shit because he never had any idea what's going on. Hunter cannot mentor he doesn't know how that works, he confronts every issue with the sullen weight of someone that needs an adultier adult but knows that there isn't one available.

this show where diving aircraft is yuri kiss powed and everybody is born a girl and has to choose their gender once turned seventeen at times postponing it to remain as neither a man or a woman; essentially rejecting adulthood and remaining as a religious pilot to defend your homeland. to become a man is to change your body and grow up and give up your life, to become a woman is to remain lesser in society yet divine. You only have one chance to choose what you wish to be physically and in society. its irreversible. you're doing it to save the society. you're doing it for the holy. shit.

I just found out that the majority of the music I used to listen to back in my "emo phase" was actually nu-metal. I don't know what to do with this information

Ngl. I’m sort of glad I’m currently hyperfixated about Project Sekai.

Especially from what I’ve been hearing and seeing from glimpses about the jjk manga atm. I can tell the fandom discord would be chaotic!

Would the fandom be as toxic as it was during the Gojo vs Sukuna fight?

Dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And like, it doesn’t matter to me anyway since I’m over here kicking my legs excitedly about all my favs within Project Sekai~ :3c

Besidessss. I do need that optimism in my life atm~ ;v;

i really hate whenever anyone brings up pedophilia on tumblr because like. OK, I have read your post and saw the word ‘pedophilia’ and when I say that word, what comes to mind to me is sexual material involving adults (~18+ but, from what i’m led to believe, usually much older) and children (~<16). What are my thoughts on that? It’s awful. Abhorrent. Extremely extremely bad. You could do your utmost to make something artistic and elegant and I would side-eye you to the end of the universe at a bare minimum.

But I don’t know that that’s what you mean. Distance yourself from the narrative of “modern purity culture” all you want; there exists a significant demographic of people that clutch their pearls at pretty normal expressions of human sexuality just because they themselves don’t share that perspective. The concept of pedophilia has been used very irresponsibly, even just in my immediate presence, to describe a pretty wide array of totally acceptable things.

Stories about characters who are canonically minors but portrayed as adults in the work? I would like to think this is a no-brainer but unfortunately some people do not think so. I’ve even heard this described as ‘grooming’.

Stories about characters who don’t have a single unambiguous age? This is especially egregious with characters who are clearly personal vessels. Sorry, my vision of Link(le) and Zelda is a little bit different now than it was when I was 12. Those characters have grown up alongside me in my heart. It’s a little foolish to project the idea of pedophilia onto narratives I create about adults because you think of them as children still.

Stories about two 16-year-olds engaging sexually? Sorry, some people are or were sexually active 16 year olds. That’s just a thing that exists. People write and read about that. You can write it irresponsibly, sure, in the same way you can write two 30 year olds fucking irresponsibly.

At some point, we have to acknowledge that the problem is not the content of the stories but the character of the person writing them, but that’s a scary idea because it means accepting the distinct possibility of people writing some abhorrent and problematic work... without actually being evil malicious people who want to inflict that evil on society. it means acknowledging that the danger of fiction is extremely secondary to the danger of people’s real actions, and that policing art is functionally useless.

I do believe there are a handful of ideas that are so fundamentally evil and horrific that a person can be judged sheerly just for having it, and I’d classify pedophilia as one of them. But I can’t take that term seriously when it’s used in a post on Tumblr, because what could you possibly be hoping to accomplish by doing so? A Tumblr post, no matter how sternly worded, isn’t going to protect children or put people in prison (/rehab/whatever you feel is appropriate). There are things you can do that might actually help, if you genuinely felt someone was in danger, but this isn’t it.

But, if you’re distraught over a big scary world full of people doing things you disagree with personally and you’re seeking validation from somebody that you’re not the crazy one, a vague but sharp-tongued tumblr post using inflammatory language that you feel is right, but without clarifying what you mean explicitly, would be a great way to do that, wouldn’t it?

Exploring Fault Proofs in Optimism: An Overview

The activation of fault proofs by Optimism marks a significant advancement in Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions, completing the first stage of its decentralization plan. This milestone is pivotal for enhancing the network's security and trustlessness, reducing reliance on centralized entities like the Optimism Security Council. Previously, the council monitored transactions and intervened to prevent fraud, but with the new fault proof system, any party can now challenge transactions, moving towards a more decentralized and inclusive network.

Ethereum's high transaction fees have made Layer 2 scaling solutions, such as rollups, essential. Optimism's fault proofs ensure that off-chain transactions are valid by allowing a challenge period where anyone can contest a transaction's validity. If a challenge is raised, a fault proof is provided and verified by the Ethereum mainnet, ensuring that invalid transactions are reverted.

This process significantly enhances the security and integrity of the blockchain. Unlike Arbitrum, which relies on 12 validators, Optimism's fault proof system is designed to be trustless and decentralized, enabling broader participation in transaction verification.

Despite initial challenges with proof generation and verification speeds, Optimism has optimized its fault proof mechanisms to be compatible with Ethereum's Layer 1. This achievement not only improves the security and decentralization of the network but also sets a benchmark for other rollup technologies.

The activation of fault proofs highlights the importance of continuous innovation and rigorous testing in the blockchain space. For more in-depth insights and exclusive research, join our Web3 Sync community on Intelisync and Learn more...

Synthetic Fibers are More Eco-Friendly 

As sustainability becomes a progressively vital concern in the fashion industry, synthetic fibers have made substantial steps in decreasing their ecological impact. Via technological improvements, ecological synthetic fibers, like recycled polyester, have developed. Such fibers are credited from post-customer plastic waste, like rejected bottles, decreasing the dependability on virgin materials and lessening plastic contamination. Moreover, synthetic fibers need lesser resources, like water and land, during making compared to natural fibers, creating them a more sustainable option.

Adaptability and Performance 

Synthetic fibers provide supreme versatility, permitting makers to create clothes for several reasons. Their innate properties, such as quick-drying and moisture-wicking abilities, make them perfect for sportswear and activewear. Furthermore, the suppleness of synthetic fibers permits the making of stretchy fabrics, offering ease and liberty of movement. 

Synthetic fibers have certainly renovated the fashion sector, providing a variety of advantages that fulfill our modern requirements. From their toughness and affordability to their ecological nature and versatility, such fibers have become a vital part of our wardrobes. As we navigate a world that continually demands flexibility, synthetic fibers offer us ease, style, and a supportable fashion solution.

why do marxists insist on using old language? why say proletariat instead of working class?

marxism is a technical field. we need to use precise language to convey exactly what we mean. saying proletariat communicates a person's relationship to the economy: they have to work for someone else for a wage in order to live. saying that someone is working class only conveys that they work for a living. what if they own the business too? do you think that they might have a different world outlook to somebody who lives off their own wage alone?

it's important for us to make these distinctions, and learning all the jargon is thankfully very doable
