this is a question naruto fans need to ask themselves. are there a lot of flaws that deserve criticism? absolutely. is everything people accuse the writing of true? not really. people see others criticizing the story and get comfortable, so they go on to criticize whatever they dont understand without using critical thinking. they just stop trying. just because flaws exist doesnt mean everything is one.

before i accuse a story of being bad i must ask myself one crucial question first: am i perhaps fucking stupid

hateposting in a small fandoms main tag when you clearly don't actually give a shit about it then jumping to profanity the second someone shows an ounce of pushback like a child is one way to announce you're insecure as hell in your basic beliefs and probably just don't like it because it makes you think too much

I'm so tired of "sanjis the best written straw hat".... they're all extremely well written. Sanji is just spelled out and given to you on a platter. easy to comprehend and understand. no analytical skills needed. y'all sleep on or completely misinterpret most everyone else's complexity and dimension if you can't immediately understand it or aren't observant/empathetic enough to recognize it. all the straw hats feel like they are written with a deep understanding for the individuality and complexity of people and their differences irt responding to and processing and growing from experiences in their lives and their backgrounds. sanjis writing specifically speaks to certain people and certain people can have a better understanding of him because they can personally empathize, not with his backstory and trauma, but with the dimension his experiences have given him. people who react to trauma the same as him, people who struggle with the same internal issues as he does etc. this goes for all of them. they're all written with that underlying added depth and dimension. the way people criticize zoros character for lacking depth or whatever because he doesn't have a traumatic backstory or doesn't respond to trauma by having emotional breakdowns for you to jack off to, truly bothers me, because I relate to his reactions and responses and how he grows and is rational and logical so much. people interpreting that as him being unemotional, or emotionally shut off, etc. when he has so much emotion and it's just invisible to those who cannot relate to people who process things like he does. anyways... this was originally not supposed to be so long and ranty but oh well!

My toxic trait is thinking I could survive any saw trap. Even the ones that are meant to kill you. Jigsaw's rules wouldn't even matter to me. Dont tell me what to do old man.

ever since i 'watched' (listened to) those two really long videos about the plagiarism guy, youtube recommended me some other video of some youtuber calling out another youtuber??? is that all youtubers do when they dont have content? call each other out? im concerned.

Thomas Andrews was inspired to build a ship that would be legendary during his time. After the construction of the mighty Titanic, a British luxury liner, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone, he said, ”Even God himself couldn't sink the ship”.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

erm!! i told you to drink water

having the ability to stop, slow down, and think "wait, is there any physical reasons I feel bad actually?" is probably one of the most important skills one can have as a mentally ill/neurodivergent person or really just as a human being existing in the world in general

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.

Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"
