Bruce and Cass conversations are just Autism to Autism communication

One time they're going over a case together in the batcave with Dick and they keep getting more and more distressed despite the case being relatively straightforward until Dick with his years of Bruce deduction recognises the signs of electricity in the walls being too loud and goes to fix it. They both immediately relax and he's like "... You guys could have just SAID there was a high pitched sound bothering you." to which he receives matching looks of Bat:

He gives up, grumbling about how he should have just stayed in Bludhaven.

Hey remember when i bound the first half of from the archives? well i've finally done the rest! and honestly i am so proud of it. i tried some new things with the binding, and i am almost completely happy with how it turned out! the only improvement for next time would probably be actually measuring things.

thank you @sixteenth-days for writing something so good i needed to physically bite it.

Ouch! People are starting to notice outside of Tumblr, Boston Dumb Fuck.

If only you could be as successful, personally and professionally, as Ryan Reynolds. Although, while his marriage appears real, she seems to be as much of a bitch as your fake one.

In a bit of schadenfreude (from the mother tongue of your half-Teutonic twit of a wifey), I take particular shameful joy with this part:

So glad you threw away your moral compass, character, integrity and murdered your own soul to tie yourself forever (even after the "divorce") to this racist, antisemtic, fatshaming, arrogant, childish, untalented, lazy, entitled dumb dumb for these shitty roles and a bought and paid for service award for your corruptible and useless ego-stroking poisonous snake of a political website. I hope the family and close friends you used to try to pull off this unmitigated embarrassment are willing to forgive you, because your most loyal fans bounced once you, you team and your teat-sucking brother blamed them for having the audacity to believe their own eyes, called out this witless stunt and didn't feel like sticking around for the gaslighting.

Maybe Honey, Don't, The Materialists, and Sacrifice will turn it all around... no, I can't do that! Telling obvious lies may be something your are totally kosher with (irony intended), but some of us are not comfortable deceiving and manipulating others to get our jollies.

Of course you could come clean- tell the whole truth and make authentic amends because who doesn't love a redemption story? The question is whether you have the courage to get CAAs hand out of your keister, take back your balls and realize your life is your own.

Well it’s already been a day and it’s 8am so

At least it’s a Womble Wednesday

Take care of yourselves today, everyone

I'm so torn about this issue. City maintenance crew has replaced street lamps around my building. They did it so fast too, I never saw the construction, I only noticed this morning that outside looks completely different, that it's darker now.

The lamps we had emitted warm, yellow, glowing light, and they were whimsy and interesting, they made the street look good! They were nice round lamps with the tops shaded, so they looked like glowing half-circles, and the nice orange-yellow light would make the entire street look homely. Few of them were tangled in tree branches, and I would linger around them in the evenings, watching the light make the leaves glow, imagining I was in Narnia.

New lamps... have none of that. They're bare, tall spike-looking things, with a horizontal shelf that emits white light straight down. The street looks slightly dystopian, corporate, like they put the absolute minimum effort in making sure there's some kind of light. None of the whimsy, none of the detail, no Narnia here. It looks like a corporate parking lot.

However.. the new lamps emit much less light. And they're much efficiently shaded, so less light is being cast up. Which means, the streets are darker, and more importantly, the sky is darker. That means less light-pollution being emitted into the atmosphere. Which means, I can sometimes catch a glimpse of a star. I can stop being annoyed at how light it is outside during all hours of the night. I love darkness in the night, I hate that we need to have lamps glowing the entire time. I like less light. I like less light pollution. One could argue that this is the move in the right direction, and the city is causing less light pollution with this change, so this could potentially be good for the environment.

But it's not that simple! If they went and took down all the yellow, whimsy, fully functional lamps, and made new, minimalistic, boring corporate lamps, they had to take out new materials, they had to mine that from the earth, they had to spend an enormous amount of energy, labour, resources, to make and purchase these new lamps. That means the city is using tax money and resources, and natural minerals in order to replace already functional lamps. Were they really doing a good thing, doing all this just to miminize light pollutin in the city?

And let's say they did this differently; if we assume a city lamp doesn't last forever, and they would have eventually broken down or stopped working, what if they phased them out one by one, replaced each one as it became defective, instead of taking them all out and once and replacing it with the new ones? Wouldn't that have been a more economical, environmentally-friendly thing to do?

And the thing is, I'm not sure this city is actually worried about the light pollution as much as I am, because every damn holiday they're blasting lights from all direction. Every december they're having all the bridges showered in light, they're having giant glowing figures placed around everywhere, they're wrapping every damn building in so much lights, all the trees are having light globes hanging from them, it's a nightmare, and I hate it. And then they're having all this additional holidays and celebrations where they throw fireworks (I'm not even joking they have fireworks 8 times a year) and putting lights everywhere. It's supposed to be for 'tourism'. If they were trying to reduce the light pollution, that clownery would be the first thing to go. I don't think they replaced the lamps to reduce the light pollution.

But then this is my point, why did they do this? If they're trying to make the city look nicer for tourists, why would they tear out beautiful whimsy lamps that made the place look human and nice? If they're trying to reduce the amount of energy spent yearly for the illumination of the city, why not stop overdoing the holiday lights? Who is benefiting from this? I need some answers.

One of my favorite things about being in my early 20s is that I'm starting to understand that I can use things not for their intended purpose. When you're growing up, you get told what an object is and what its intended purpose is, and as a kid/teen, I just accepted all of it at face value. As a young adult it's finally clicking that I can simply do things a different way if it makes me happier. Sure, I was taught that you stand to take a shower, but there's nothing stopping me from just sitting if I don't feel like it, ya know? I might have always had my medication in the kitchen, but if I'm no longer remembering to take it, I can just move it somewhere where I can remember. You don't have to specifically store all food in the kitchen, you can have a little snack cart or snack station in another room.

The downside to finding out the various ways you can use objects is that you develop habits that would probably go on an r/relationships post where everyone says you're a little freak.
