The Unflappable Captain Mwai

100 FEMALE CHARACTERS IN 2021

Harley Quinn is a big millennial mood because she’s got the qualifications of the dean of a major university but she hits people with a baseball bat for a living, and is painfully aware of this dichotomy at all times.

(Side note, Batman: The Animated Series Harley was a big Gen-X mood because she had realized that she had agency over whether she gave a single nanofuck about whether literally anyone lived or died.)

Two things always strike me about this movie:

1: The profound queer energy of leaving your enormous wealth to your cats.

2: How horrendously unnecessary Edgar’s skullduggery was here.  My dude.  The cats will not tell you how to spend the money.  She IS leaving you the money.  She’s just legally putting you on the hook to own cats.  Hire a cat butler for dog’s sake.

"the trauma made you kind" fuck that. no. i am kind because i cannot allow anyone to go through what i did. i am soft because i chose to be.

Trauma made me scared, angry, and vulnerable.

I made myself kind.

oh yea well can the snyder cut do THIS

Finally a moment to show off my obsession with solarpunk!

“Overpopulation” is such an easy thing to brainwash people on. I used to believe this until somebody pointed out that you could double the living space of my hometown without developing more land by hypothetically adding one extra floor per building. Do this across the board and you’ve already ended homelessness- but thats not even considering all the millions of vacant buildings just lying around that could be used for housing (fill those up first).

Theres also a more sci-fi concept for incredibly tall, thick skyscrapers and artificial layered mountains that, to my knowledge, are completely within the realm of physical possibility and would house tens of thousands of people. Blueprints were drawn up in the 90s in a few different countries, like Sky City 100 in Japan

And the Ultima Tower in San Francisco

The designs are gathering dust and need proof-of-concept but the basic idea is contemporary: If youre a high-technology civilization and you have too many people, build UP, or DOWN, but never OUT. Then surround the towers with farming space and preserve the rest of nature. You could triple the global population if you wanted to, and not only would you be able to give all of those people the living space of a modest house, but youd actually vastly increase food production (which is already enough to feed all those people and can be doubled like OP said)

And if you still prefer living out in the country? Nobodys saying you can’t! It would barely affect current living accommodations, it would just make things easier for the current homeless and you wouldnt need to pay as much for food.

Or if you wanna look at something that we can 100% do now, literally just combine agriculture and architecture.

These are just concept art pieces of Forest Cities, but there are legitimate plans to begin building living spaces that use plants in their designs. Again, towers are more environmentally friendly than individual housing because you get vastly more living space per acre and if those buildings double as crop/oxygen production then youre basically supercharging nature by “overpopulating” humans.

Remember kids: We are the only species on earth that can not only intentionally save nature, but vastly increase its potential. When people talk about environmental issues and housing crisises by saying “the earth is dying because of human overpopulation,” they’re detracting from any real solution by saying that it’s actually your fault just for existing in a large species. Never listen to them.

Not only do we actually have enough resources to feed and house everyone in the world, the idea of “overpopulation” nearly always carries tones of racism and classism. It’s never (or almost never) wealthy white people saying that they themselves should have no kids/fewer kids in order to curb “overpopulation”. And I’ve never heard anyone call England or France overpopulated, for example. No, when people talk about “overpopulation” it’s often white people implicitly saying that non-white people, often in the global south, should have their reproduction limited or curtailed. In the rare instances when “overpopulation” is used to refer to white people, it always refers to poor/impoverished/working class white people. 

That is why people have started to name “overpopulation” concerns as ecofascism. Overpopulation is a key idea espoused by those who use fake environmental concerns to mask their desire to control or eradicate people of color and the poor.

(I know others have said this before me, but I want to make sure it’s discussed on this post so this is my summarization of the words of others)

ALSO, let us not forget that Malthus himself actually came up with his theory to justify acts of genocide on the Irish people which were later rebranded as “mismanagement” of the potato famine, when many of these policies were designed to kill people.

You can only reblog this today.

How come semi trucks in Europe look like “toot toot :)” and in North America they look like “HONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|”

“Henlo I am big twuck pwease give me wots of woom tank u :)”

“I WILL FUCKING PANCAKE YOUR CUCK ASS”

@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags

This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.

I’m sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.

American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.

The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.

So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.

To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, they’re just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldn’t be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.

I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which I’m pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900’s, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen

As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.

As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, they’re generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and you’ll be fine.

I posted this pic in a photoset before and honestly it deserves its own post - get her Eda!!

O Human Star rerun! http://ohumanstar.com/comic/chapter-1-page-17/

I tried to nail down their height difference early, though it’s not as consistent over the comic as I’d like. They ended up around 5'8" and 6'1" - Brendan’s eyes at the level of Al’s mouth.

I HIGHLY recommend this as a re-read.  The early comic was such a fascinating mystery the first time...
