Hey just wanted to let you know I am also a big fan of Hermitcraft. I admittedly only really watch Mumbo? I have trouble with the way the others do their videos, mostly just how much chaos is present. Uh, I watched another one for a while but I stopped. Anyways I was nervous to get into the life SMP, can you tell me what's appealing about that vs. straight Hermitcraft?

ohhhjshdgsg yeah if chaos is a problem for you the life series isn’t gonna be your thing, if anything a big part of the appeal IS the chaos—it’s fast paced, high tension, limited scope (timewise AND spacewise: they’re stuck together in a border box + the series ends when everyone’s dead) and every server member is always online for every episode

#splashasks #tsykoticsmaniac #i mean. its chaos relative to hermitcraft at least. it’s got rules #there’s still the ‘it’s only in a video if everyone involved is ok with it’ principle in place

Tfw when you prefer to deal with the husband of your neighbor than the wife because he would not tolerate this bs.

Yeah, how nice you have family visiting but you've already taken up the entire curb and now they're parked behind me in my fucking driveway.

Fucking pull your own car all the way up to the garage and have them park behind you. Or how about stop fucking telling your friends and family it's ok to park on our side of the driveway when we don't even do that shit to your family when you're out of town.

#I'm not asking them to move it since it sounds like the relative is already leaving #But it's the principle of the matter #You have your own fucking driveway #Misc #Personal

Writing Problem: The Female Part Is Underwritten

Problem: The Female Part Is Underwritten

Solution: Frame and establish female characters who are their own and who can hold their own. Obviously, character-building must be done with care, but the emphasis on writing female characters well is not misplaced. Authors in the majority of those published often get away with female characters that are relegated to the role of the conveniently unprotected, the buddy, the substitute wife/girlfriend, the pawn/sacrifice, the hot chick, and/or the stoic action lady who can do anything because that makes her cool.

Write female characters with their own intelligences, experiences, shortcomings, and successes. These characters must come into their own organically, and they must engage the narrative (and readers) in a way that demonstrates their value without siphoning their agency.

I still want to talk about protesting Pride, and I will, but to get off my chest now:

I dont think you need a tonne of presentations and complicated documents and academic language to talk about pinkwashing in Israel and use to justify bombing of Gaza. You can literally just say 'no nation or people deserves to be bombed and murdered because some people in that country/people are homophobic/queerphobic/whatever term your audience for the statement is using. Seriously if you say that you're disgusting.'

You can run the risk of being incredibly bogged down in this stuff, making it so much more complicated than it is. It's not complicated. I know this is an issue. I've had YouTube ads alluding to 'SOME countries who are homophobic and bad blah blah' without stating a country name outright but clearly designed to take progressive sympathies from Palestine. But it won't work and we know it won't. No need for like workshops full of academic slides that no one who doesn't already agree will do.

#my theory is a lot of the same people involved in this fell for/are currently falling for #'its ok for russia to invade ukraine because some people there might be nazis'#a statement also true of most western countries btw #a government of nazis like ww2 germany is obviously not the same as some people in a country being extremists #but a lot of people including my dad thought it was the same so now they have to write dissertations #on pinkwashing in powerpoint #its totally different than that!! (but its not)#i think its also an issue that a lot of queer people living in the relatively progressive west do the whole #'if i was in x country I'd have y happen to me' but they arent in x country #no one knows how to talk about worldwide lgbtq issues without making it about themselves #also the violence against bigots thing has had lip service paid to it for so long #its basically a meme now #so maybe theres some guilt there prompting this #there doesnt have to be though #just stop making vast sweeping statements and cool it on the black and white thinking and violence worshipping #and find some consistent principles you can stand by

"When did you have your last abortion? Until you know everything that goes with it, don't you dare lecture me or anybody about–" "I know what goes with it! Obviously I haven't experienced the physical part, but I know the overwhelming emotion that goes with it. I know the sense of loss, I know the doubt, the guilt, so please, don't–" BOSTON LEGAL 5.08 "Roe"

#this scene guts me like a fish #alan AND shirley shouting at each other on the verge of tears. why are my parents fighting #and watching this whole episode post-roe is so....... ugh #james spader #alan shore #boston legal #*#this whole season is the most overtly political and there are fantastic nuanced debates VERY current to the times like. down to the week #and alan the Democrat (as a proxy for liberalism) usually* comes out on top (though maybe that's a matter of perspective)#but this ep is especially interesting bc abortion is suuuuch a divisive issue they still come down relatively conservatively.#blegal pushed many envelopes on network TV in the bush era and the abortion eps went further than most but not too far #and notice there weren't any fourth wall jokes about getting letters in this ep. but I bet they did!#ANYWAY my polisci degree and characters as proxies for political parties aside. back to the boston freak #you could say it's a cop-out OR that it's realistically complicated but I like how alan balances his feelings #he feels the weight of the procedures he's been part of personally he has questions but he will fight to the bone for the legal right #fine upstanding gentleman. principled supportive man <3 I want him to get me pregnant #we'll keep it!

i need to transition….i am losing my mind thinking about going into adulthood being seen as a woman it makes me want to. i was gonna say either puke or rip my hair out but. it doesn’t make me want to do those things actually. it just makes me feel bad.

#like. every time i remember that the perception that i and some friends and kind people have of me is not the perception that society as a #whole and even my dear parents have of me. i feel sick. i will always be a girl to my parents no matter how “supportive” they claim to be #how am i supposed to convince them that i need to get hrt. how can i do that what the country i live in is filled with so much hate for #people like me? god. i need to change my name i need to go on testosterone i need to get top surgery i need to be a BOY.#as much as i don’t care about how other people see me in principle and as much as i believe i am already a guy because. i am. i need to be #seen as one. i need to. i cry everytime i think about this. because it’s always felt so inaccessible to me. to transition. even with a #relatively accepting family. but i always believed that once i turn 18. i could do it. and i would feel so much better. but i turn 18 in #less than three months and it feels more impossible than ever #i just want to feel like myself.#remy rambles #rant

Hence, although general relativity incorporates some elements of Mach's thinking, it does not subscribe to the completely relative conception of motion Mach advocated.²²

22. For balance, let me note that there are physicists and philosophers who do not agree with this conclusion. Even though Einstein gave up on Mach's principle, during the last thirty years it had taken on a life of its own. Various versions and interpretations is Mach's idea have been put forward, and, for example, some physicists have suggested that general relativity does fundamentally embrace Mach's ideas; it's just that some particular shapes that spacetime can have – such as the infinite flat spacetime of an empty universe – don't. Perhaps, they suggest, any spacetime that is remotely realistic – populated by stars and galaxies, and so forth – does satisfy Mach's principle. Others have offered reformulations of Mach's principle in which the issue is no longer how objects, such as rocks tied by a string or buckets filled with water, behave in an otherwise empty universe, but rather how the various time slicings – the various three-dimensional spatial geometries – relate to one another through time. An enlightening reference on modern thinking about these ideas is Mach's Principle: From Newton's Bucket to Quantum Gravity, Julian Barbour and Herbert Pfister, eds. (Berlin: Birkhäuser, 1995), which is a collection of essays on the subject. As an interesting aside, this reference contains a poll of roughly forty physicists and philosophers regarding their views on Mach's principle. Most (more than 90 percent) agreed that general relativity does not fully conform to Mach's ideas. Another excellent and extremely interesting discussion of these ideas, from a distinctly pro-Machian perspective and at a level suited to general readers, is Julian Barbour's book The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Physics (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999).

Also I think its time for me to come clean but I know very little about k!pyros lore but wants to find out more but also don't have time or attention spam to watch

No that's so fair I'll be honest if I weren't so fucking autistic about some of the ksmp characters I would not have the attention span or capacity to pay attention to ksmp LOL

I like to think I understand k!pyro like some of the best out of everyone and Jack would probably vouch for that but I cannot for the life of me sit and explain lore

#Yes I could explain Linc's so far pretty easily LMAO but like others not rly #K!pyro's lore timeline I could not explain in full I wouldn't immediately remember everything #There are some big things I could go over briefly but smaller things I would forget #Honestly with ksmp if you know/understand general characters you can be an enjoyer enough . Imo #Like fuck knowing the lore I think it's fun if you just like the characters cause look #Ksmp is at a good time only for Americans I think . It's at 8 pm EST.#If you don't watch from the start of s1 you're fucked on lore unless you can sit through the VOD channel #There's no good guide to watching the VODs up to the current point because not all POVs are necessary to watch really #So it's hard to properly get into atp like very hard #So if people don't know lore I DON'T BLAME THEM.#And the community doesn't help I'm sorry do not listen to 90% of what people say.#Just listen to me. Honestly. Literally don't ask anyone else about lore. They'll just talk about clownzy.#I'm deadass they will find a way to make everything about Clown or the Branzy cameo (HE'S NOT COMING BACK.)#Ignore them .#Anyways all that to say. I support ksmp enjoyers who don't know the fucking lore for 90% of it #It's not easy LMAO #Stream-only lore is hard for me to stay with and that's why I adore ksmp being in relatively short sessions on a consistent schedule #Every Saturday 8 PM EST unless something comes up. It's spaced out it's consistent it's a great schedule #In principle. The time is not great for Everyone sadly #Hell it's awful for basically all of the cast it's mostly Aussies waking up at like 8 in the morning #《👾》
