The Smash Bros. cast swapping anecdotes about their various evil doppelgangers and Mario getting into an argument about whether Wario counts.

Surprisingly, Mario is arguing that Wario does not count as he has literally never made that connection in his life. You can’t just say every fat italian in overalls is a Mario counterpart, he’s his own person with hopes and dreams. Evil hopes and dreams, but still.

Daisy, meanwhile, manages to argue very convincingly that Peach should be considered her evil doppelganger.

Wario is playing Devil’s advocate because being Mario’s evil doppleganger is great for business. If he was just some guy, nobody would buy Warioware.

@kamenriderhamo i am not going to let you hide this in the replies

On this day, 18 May 2021, millions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Israel went on strike in protest at escalating Israeli state violence against civilians in Gaza. Israeli authorities were forcibly removing Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem in order to house Jewish settlers. When Palestinians protested against this ethnic displacement, Israeli troops responded with violence, and eventually airstrikes on Gaza destroying homes and offices, and killing large numbers of civilians and children.

I just want you guys to remember that the reason why some “progressive” Zionists now identify as indigenous to Israel is that they are trying to de-legitimatize Palestinian claims of settler colonialism because, according to them, “you can’t colonize a place you’re indigenous to”. No Zionist identified with being Indigenous prior to like 2014, they very openly identified with colonial powers (they still do), and additionally they have no idea what indigenous means. Calling Israel a “successful landback movement” is outrageous.

Ziggy has videos on Tiktok that explain everything that’s wrong with this rhetoric I’ll leave them here (in order) : Video 1, video 2, video 3

Also watch Notorious Kasamang Anna video on indigeniety and settler colonialism because they explain the entire definition of both (and also elaborate more on how Zionism has never been an indigenous rights movement): https://youtu.be/9H99j6wdxDI

just so you know when you make your post text black, it appears like this to users who have dark mode enabled (a good deal of tumblr users)

Hi you sent this to a dead meme bot that never posts anymore besides when i quick rb to the wrong blog. The time stamp is even from three and a half years ago.

Additionally, you have a mishapocalypse lesbian avatar.

I had a Terry's Chocolate Orange once in an airport 10 years ago (they’re very hard to come by in the US, I’ve never seen them sold anywhere else) and I think about it everyday.

Avatar

So what you’re saying in the replies is that they are sold everywhere and they’re just hiding them from me every time I enter a store.

So what you’re saying is some sort of evil sorcerer put a curse on me to make Terry’s chocolate oranges totally invisible to me.

Attempting to obtain the orange by other means is not working.

Literally no joke, last November I ordered a case of Terry's Chocolate Oranges and they didn't arrive in time for Christmas stockings. Months later, this arrived in a package that looked like it had been toted around on Odysseus's journey:

Who is Terry, what realm does he inhabit.

Thailand.

They’re iconically English and yet somehow also very liminal in England. At all times they are purchasable for the low price of £1 until you actually want to buy one, at which point they all flee. If you try to get them in a grocery delivery they will substitute themselves with bizarre mimics, like actual oranges.

So you tell your spouse to get some and they vanish off the shelves once more, except where they replace themselves with the vanishingly rare dark chocolate variant.

It happens every year also.

Update: to be absolutely fair our PTA and every other PTA in a shopping radius did do a sweep of £1 presents to sell to the children at the “school present shops” for £1.50, so my own damn PTA clearly contributed to the random psychically-determined scarcity.

Because Xmas morning and my 5-year-old has just proudly handed me the gift they bought me at the PTA shop with their own pocket money - a chocolate orange - in the spirit of purest love.

“Because you have one at Christmas every year and you always had them when you were young in MERICA and I know you like them”

Well played, Terry, well played

Happy birthday, Ursula K. Le Guin! (October 21, 1929)

An acclaimed author of science fiction and fantasy, Ursula K. Le Guin was born to an academic family in Berkeley, California. She began reading at a young age, and was particularly enchanted by genre fiction, including science fiction and fantasy, as well as myth and legend. Her writing career began in the 1950s, and she would write continuously throughout the rest of her life. Her best-known works include the Earthsea series of novels, The Lathe of Heaven, The Left Hand of Darkness, a science fiction exploration of gender, and The Dispossessed. A writer in the anarchist tradition, Le Guin's work often explored themes of society, gender, sexuality, and revolution. She received numerous awards for her work, including many Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards. She died in 2018.

Damn the perceived world sounds cool as hell

(blue is average of people’s estimate of percentage of population of which x is true, and red is the actual percentage)

I appreciate how it’s perceived jews are 30% of the population, muslims are 27% of the population, and atheists are 33% of the population. nobody wondered why christians were 10% huh

I honestly don’t even think this is as much “minorities being extremely visible”, and more just that the most people don’t understand fractions and statistics.

To most people, anything less than 10%, in any context, is basically “insignificant, not even worth your attention.”

The idea that Asians could be “only” 4% of the US population, and yet you still see a couple Asian people every day of your life, is deeply counterintuitive to most people. People don’t truly grasp that they pass by hundreds if not thousands of strangers every day and about 1 in 25 of them are going to be Asian.

Right now annual inflation is at a pretty high 9%, which is more than triple what the usual inflation rate is. But I guarantee if you asked the average person on the street what the inflation rate is right now, they’d think prices have gone up by anywhere from like 30-100%, because “9%” just doesn’t feel like a substantial or noticeable amount in their minds, even though it is.

Obsessed with the fact that 92% of people live in NYC, California, and Texas

This reminds me of a different post I saw recently, wherein OP was - understandably - irked that so many professionals will characterize something that affects 1%-2% of the population as “a rare illness”. In actuality, if you’re in a lecture hall with 300 people, that means 3-6 of people who are in the same room with you. It means you might meet people with [disorder] every day, and not realize it.

my chemical romance is the funniest and weirdest band ever. They’re all fucking losers who would genuinely rather play dnd than hook up with groupies. The singer used to work at Cartoon Network. The bassist is on the fbi watchlist for crimes against disney. One guitarist is a guitar god but he also used to keep a little action figure of spiderman in his pocket all the time, the other is like a little lap dog of a man, but he’s also on the fbi watchlist for death threats against a us president. They refused to be on the twilight soundtrack, one of the most popular franchises at the time but then they preformed on yo gabba gabba and re-recorded one of their songs in simlish.

Oh I didn’t forget. Make no mistake I did not forget the fact that Stephanie Meyer, nyt’s bestselling author of thee Twilight series who, upon looking at the weirdest greasiest human alive said oh my god I need to make this man* a creepy ass abusive predator. And I did not forget Gerard was so offended and upset that they wrote a whole ass diss track about it and went on a rant on Twitter that ended with them talking about getting that philharmonic cheddar. I can never forget.

The philharmonic cheddar. For proof and prosperity!
