there are so many great photoshop opportunities with this cat but I unfortunately do not have time right now and also not the skills
My "Photoshop skills" allowed me to do this:
Might do the rest later but if anyone is as bored as me here's the PNG of the cat
On the topic of English people being shitheads towards Welsh people - This fucking dude today on AITA
Yeah pretty sure we're all hoping for a divorce on this one lol
how did this fucker say it's "not as bad as it sounds" and then somehow end up being even worse than it sounds by the fourth sentence
Further updates, I couldn't resist looking this one up.
Character development.
Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad
this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all
"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.
Me too, not for a lack of trying though
Netflix is so unbelievably over we're tubi girls now. They have fucking everything on there, For Free. Insane that anyone pays for streaming services anymore when tubi exists. "Ooh they have fuckingg idk the show of the week on hbo max or some shit" don't care. If I want to see better call the last of the yellow jackets I can pirate it
Incomplete list of good shit (I haven't seen all of these but they sound interesting or I've at least heard other people like them) you can find on tubi:
And, last but not least,
& this is probably skewed by what I'm personally looking for! It's great! It's free! Go use tubi. Fuck netflix everybody hates netflix
They also have basically all of Transformers up to Prime, most of GI Joe, some old Kamen Rider bad Super Sentai shows, The Last Unicorn, most of Lupin III, and Jem and the Holograms.
Oh yeah, Tubi is the best actually. It's got everything that I've been wanting to watch. Especially the cheesy B movies.
And Pacific Rim. That's on there too ;)
if you have a fondness for italian slashers, there is an insane amount of giallo on there as well
It is... Owned by FOX though...
if you got like a 100kilo bag of glitter and opened it up and left it in the path of like a tornado i think that would be interesting. i dont care abt ecological damage btw
I do. 100kg bag of seaweed based glitter.
i dont. 100kg bag of enriched uranium based glitter
wait isnt uranium denser than lead how heavy would a 100kg bag of uranium be
thyrell.
just kill me
To be fair the point has some merit, a 100kg of uranium glitter would amount to very little volume compared to seaweed glitter.
"my friend from England" "my friend form Ecuador" "my friend from Australia" "my friend from Brazil".. me talking about my mutuals who I've never spoken directly to
I hereby allow any mutual to say "my friend from Italy" and then voice any kind of opinion as long as it's not some fascist thing
a tone indicator for when a statement is made by a bunny: hey guys /🐇
omg hiiiiii /🦅
Possum posting goes hard. Might even slap as much as kitty posting. Dumpster dive, do crime, kill god, etc!
yes that's how bourgeois media tries to trick workers into being against strikes. Any delays are solely due to United Parcels Service incorporated not properly paying their workers.
By not negotiating, the company - hand-in-hand with the bourgeois media trying to make that the sob story - are actually holding medical equipment for ransom.
If you're concerned about medical equipment maybe UPS should stop forcing its preload to go faster than it is safe, leaving open packages all over the place because they say that slows us down, loading tractor trailers not only to the ceiling but to the point where you can't even open them because they're that packed in. UPS is causing this shit, not Teamsters, not the employees.
UPS has never respected things like medical equipment and your packages. They don't care, it's all the bottom line.
This is what the company thinks of everyone’s packages, these are all from average days. This is what the Teamsters want to prevent by making kig conditions materially better for us.
I was quite literally told to stop repairing and taping open boxes by a manager because when you stop unloading a trailer for even ten seconds it “hurts production”.
yeah im “transitioning” *dissolves into tiny pieces as i click to the next slide*
Is there a transfem version?!?
ask and ye shall receive
Nonbinary version?
enjoy 💛🤍💜🖤

I'm going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor's strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we've been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.
The effects of the writer's strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren't really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor's strike is going to be immediate and we're going to get a lot more propaganda of "these people are overpaid to begin with."
Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people's rights to live.
Support unions, support the strikes.
My buddy works in the film industry as an extra.
They also work as a character actor at Universal, AND will sometimes house sit for extra cash.
They are now effectively on strike as well.
Not every person on strike is Johnny Depp or Chris Pratt.
milk is neat because its the only drink i can think of where you desperately want it cold and yet it would be unthinkable to put ice cubes in. a delicate limbo. a yuri of abscence. this post is nothing but you can look at it if youd like
Some rando: This character should not have the chance to become a better person
Me: Why
Same person: Because they are a bad person!
Me: But what if that character was allowed to become a better person so that they are no longer a bad person?
Same person: You’re an abuse apologist
I would love for every bad person to become a good person. I’d think most humans think that it’d be a cool and great thing if all bad people became good.
A cool and great thing, which we can play pretend with in fiction, knowing it’s not realistic, just to feel a little better about the shitty real world we live in.
tbh, I think the problem is that people confuse “getting a redemption arc” with “being rewarded with what comes after a redemption arc”
like, redeemed villains are generally friends with the heroes. they get to experience love and The Power of Friendship for the first time, if they haven’t already. they generally get to experience forgiveness. if their motives are based off of some kind of trauma or pain (like a lot of redeemed villains) then they will probably have that resolved and get some sense of closure or inner peace from whatever is hurting them.
so when they say that “this character doesn’t deserve a redemption arc” what they mean is “this character doesn’t deserve to be loved. they don’t deserve happiness, peace, or companionship”. the alternatives I have seen are:
“I hope that this character realizes how awful they are and they kill themselves”
“I hope this character is redeemed by a heroic sacrifice” (meaning they would be redeemed but wouldn’t be alive to experience the “reward” afterwards)
“I hope this character begs and pleads for forgiveness over and over again, but is never forgiven”
it’s pretty disturbing tbh, to treat basic things that every human needs (like being loved) as a “reward” that you get for good behavior. or more accurately: never being bad in the first place. that once you fall from grace you’re damned for eternity.
I think this post exposes a really gross underbelly to purity culture bullshit that I don’t think I examined quite this way before.
If redemption is unacceptable, if bad behavior can never be forgiven, what is the alternative?
Because it sure seems like the alternative is “Indefinate suffering = justice.”
BINGO.
That’s what purity culture has always been.
“Everyone who who has ever made a choice I disapprove of should suffer for eternity” is the origin of the concept of Hell. Fandom purity culture is fundamentalist Puritanism without the religion.
