Thank you so much for following with us on this historic mission. Go Artemis!

I like how the anime is really leaning in to Gear 5's mix of funny and yet subtly creepy vibes. Like one moment he's just a silly guy, just a goofy little guy, he's just like bugs bunny! The next moment he's some sort of eldrich horror flashing subliminal images of glowing red eyes and bared feral teeth and oh God is he even human anymore? And then somewhere in between those two extremes he's just casually engaging in some very creative yet grotesque body horror for funzies. I love it.

oh this is a good one thank you r/memepiece

me: haha nami sure is passionate about money!

internally: nami spent her whole childhood being poor and getting second-handed clothing and felt like she needed to steal the small things she wanted like a book because they only had a limited amount of money growing up with a young woman who suddenly had two daughters to take care of. and then it only worsened when arlong came and killed bellemere for only just having enough money to keep her two daughters alive but not herself. also this was done right in front of nami. then she got kidnapped by arlong and later struck a deal with him that if she collected 100 million, she could free her entire village from arlong's control and they won't have to struggle with money anymore and be free. she couldn't possibly work up 100 million on her own though, so she had to resort to stealing from pirates since she was a little girl and developed trust issues upon trust issues and a general hatred towards pirates not only for killing her mother and enslaving her island but seeing all the damage they wreck just from having to get close to others to rob them. every single cent she got she had to carefully stash away for her end goal of freeing her village. by the time we meet her in canon she is effectively rich but it's still not enough and she still needs more. just a bit more. and then her 8 years of blood sweat and tears gets stolen away right from beneath her nose and between it getting stolen and her sister getting shot over it, she had to choose to get her sister to safety and then she finds out her entire village knew she was trying to free them when she thought they all hated her for joining the very crew that was enslaving them and it turns out they were only pretending they didnt know about her deal because they didnt want her to feel burdened by their hopes if she wanted to run away from arlong because she was only one little girl and this whole situation was extremely unfair towards her and they just wanted her to be happy but now everything was taken from her and now they're so angry about it that they're gonna go and fight arlong even though she really doesn't want that but she cant stop them. so now not only has she lost all the money she had been saving up for her village, now her village is going to go and die for her because she does not have the money to save them

me: haha, she really loves her money :)

So true @cityboys-modelgirls

She is so generous, especially towards women and children (Lola, Vivi, the kids from Punk Hazard). "What good is treasure if I don't have anyone to share it with?" was what she said to Enel. Because more than anyone else in the crew, Nami knows that money is power, and just like her fellow crewmates, she wants that power to help her loved ones. Maybe she isn't always strong enough to defend them from physical attacks, but at least she can get them clothed and fed, and keep the ship running.

There's a lot I enjoy about One Piece but I think that Luffy is never shown to be an up-and-down Morally Righteous and Good shounen protag is one of my favorites. Like, he's a pirate. By DEFAULT he's not a Lawful Good character. Or even just a Good character. He's always been Neutral and doing whatever he currently feels up to doing.

They didn't even go the route of just saying "Oh, he's a bad guy because he's against the government of this world". That is correct, yes, but Luffy himself has shown that he just does whatever the fuck he wants. He just happens to occasionally feel the need to beat the shit out of warlords.

Luffy doesn't go hunting down these dickheads - they just happen to be in his way for one reason or another. And that's enough for him.

We need more Chaotic Neutral main characters. They're the most fun.

how 2 survive:

the “have fun” part of this is rlly important btw. the elections, all of this is for fun/entertainment purposes. if ur genuinely not having fun at any point it may be time to take a breather, watch a movie or eat a fruit or something. log off for a little to regain some perspective

curious. lol

People will tell me to Touch Grass and I am just like "I live in the FUCKING desert what grass????"

@spitblaze

I am trying but they are so fast and crafty

I have exactly one thing to say about shoplifting from large chains and it's this: if you're gonna do it then please take the whole product

Just take the whole pack, please.

This is the worst thing I've seen in my entire life

I was looking at seagull stickers for my instagram story and I came across seagulls saying supportive things like "You matter! <3" and that's the first time I've gone "He would not fucking say that" over an animal. These birds are fueled by spite. They would yell slurs if they could. Not even the right ones. A seagull would call an old lady a faggot they don't care

hey i said this in a group chat earlier and honestly it fucks, so i’m gonna post it here too

Feel disgusted by something? Don’t immediately act on it. Deconstruct your disgust!

Be just a little curious about it. Why do you feel disgusted by something? What is it about the thing that disgusts you? Is it the whole that disgusts you, or just a part? Do you feel disgusted because you’re supposed to? Has someone told you to feel disgusted? Are you just disgusted because something looks unfamiliar to you? Do other people seem disgusted or are there people opposing your disgust (or do they, on the flipside, like it?). Is there a cultural context you might be missing? More importantly, could there be biases like racism, sexism, classism, homo- or trans-phobia at play? Is the object of your digust actually causing harm? Does someone benefit from your disgust politically?

Disgust is a powerful emotion, but one that deserves a lot of self-reflection. It’s easily weaponised and often deeply flawed.

…is this supposed to apply to finding wet moldy produce in the back of the fridge, because I don’t see how, and if it isn’t supposed to apply to that, how are users supposed to tell when to use it?

Mould is an excellent place to go to talk about the application of interrogated disgust. There are a lot of cases were foods are intentionally laced with mould for the flavour it produces. We control rot and mould in a lot of ways in food - kimchi, stilton, sour cream, they’re all produced by allowing things to rot in specific ways. And some ways are more blatently obvious than others! You can look at stilton and see the green penicillin moulds used to create it, whilst you might look at bread and go ‘this isn’t going off’ - but yeasts are creating alcohol and CO2 inside the bread, which is a sort of spoilage.

In relation to food in the back of the fridge, absolutely throw it out. You’re not harming anyone by not wanting to eat food you know is past its best. But there are cultures who ferment foods in ways we might immediately balk at because your brain connects the mould in your fridge and the sensible ‘probably not good to eat’ warning with something harmless, and that’s the danger of disgust.

You might genuinely find them disgusting. Icelanders can do what they want, nothing about kæstur hákarl (fermented greenland shark)* appeals to me and I think I’m fine in saying I’m disgusted by it. All theirs.

But, you can see how this could be weaponised, yeah? There are plenty of cultures and peoples where ‘they’re disgusting, vermin-like’ were used as legitimate reasons to oppress and destroy. In that case, their food - harmless and controlled as the spoilage might be - might be used as evidence to prove their point UNLESS you interrogate your initial gut reaction to their fermented foods.

Back to our questions - Does the person telling you about the fermented foods have an agenda? Yes, they do, bigotry. Is your unfamiliarity playing in? Yeah, you’ve never actually tasted the food, you don’t know what it’s like. Is there cultural context you’re missing? Might be! Again, in the case of kæstur hákarl, Iceland is a hard place to grow food and you make edible what you can. Has someone told you to feel disgusted? Yes! Do other people disagree with the speaker? Yes - the culture that created the food think it’s swell!

In this case, you might want to hold back on acting on your disgust. There’s enough rhetorical evidence here to suggest it might be displaced.

(* I’m using kæstur hákarl as an example because the sort of strongly fermented fish products scandinavians make are a good example of food you might not want to eat that doesn’t have any other strongly anti-Scandinavian things attatched to it. I can discuss a theoretical here in a way that means I don’t have to walk into someone’s pre-existing biases. White Scandinavians don’t have to worry about it, no-one is actually using kæstur hákarl to oppress Icelanders.)

I had things like kink culture, purity culture ect. in my mind when I wrote the original post, and you might be able to see now how weaponised disgust is used against fandom and kinksters. A gut-level disgust is what drives a lot of homophobia and transphobia too, when you scratch down deep enough.

I hope that gives you some more context on why I wrote what I did and how you might apply it to the real world!

It’s a good example of how easy it is to assume “deconstruct” or “interrogate” means “throw out” or “disregard” or even “treat in the opposite way you would otherwise.

…It’s something that I think is both interpreted and intended  - a lot of the time, someone will say “you should question X”, but really they mean “You should decisively be against X.” Honestly, it’s kind of rare for someone to say Question and really mean it, like what OP is doing. Refreshing!

Cops say that they live in constant fear of having to defend themselves and being wrongly seen as murderers.

If that were true, they'd be demanding that all of their interactions be filmed from multiple angles in order to make it very clear that using deadly force was the only reasonable option available.

Instead, they complain about being filmed.

Cops say that their job is very dangerous and that every interaction they have could be their last.

If that were true, they'd be grateful that people want to repeal laws against victimless actions, use social workers instead of police to deal with mental illness, and reduce crime by making sure everyone has what they need to survive.

Instead, they complain whenever those policy changes are proposed.

They're not trying to protect their safety. They're trying to protect their power.

so @neto-exe was making taquitos and we talked about how there was no sour crean left and said we'd get some after we went on a walk..

we get to the trail aaaaand....

in the middle of the forest is a tub of sour cream.. same brand we were going to buy too..

I know your game faeries.. it's not going to work..

if you see a mysterious tub of the thing you set out to find just sitting out in the open like that, no it's not and to be safe, no you didn't

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

In case this gains any traction, I NEED people to understand that this is not an invitation for mainlanders to get on a soapbox and start telling each other whether or not or how to visit Hawai'i. The tourism situation is complex and difficult and you don't get it if you haven't lived through it at minimum wage. You don't fully understand the complexities and you will not. And you are liable to do more harm by trying to dictate rules and ethics of visiting the islands to each other.

If you want to help, listen to local people. Seek out and boost what they're saying. Send each other local sources of information. Research from local sources. DO NOT take this crisis as an opportunity to insert your views and speak for us.
