Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language
"OP you need to read 'Voting is not Harm Reduction" OP has read Voting is not Harm Reduction. It opens with the acknowledgement that for the most vulnerable people, even a tiny degree of harm reduction can mean life or death and then continues to advocate for not participating in that harm reduction lest you "participate in your own oppression". Pardon me for not finding "vulnerable people should die for my ideology" very convincing.

#prev#that makes sense#i think id go smash solely down to curiosity#like does he still talk like that when youre fucking#does he switch to lithuanian?#is he naturally dominant or submissive or just not into that?#does he lay on the romance?#does he go a bit feral?#does he like biting?#and to be fair i also would be struggling not to laugh at how he speaks#ive definitely had less exposure to that kinda talking#(its also partly why i rejected my cambridge offer because just oh my god i hate these people)#but i do have years of drama lessons where they made us do weird ass shit like moo offs#im very good at not laughing#i can keep up a character who can take people who talk like this seriously#i do also enjoy poking the bear a little and making up my own esoteric nonsense sentences to see if they notice#hannibal probably would but eh im quite good at articulating well thought out points off the top of my head#i could probably keep it up
it used to be 2007 you know

Just love waking up to some AI asshole spamming my fandom tag. </s> At least I’ve gone through and put comments on the posts so that people know what it is if it migrates beyond their blog (of course they didn’t put it in the description, just the tags, which obviously no one will check on the original post before reblogging). They could delete the comments and block me, but I’ve tried
Plugging “Thomas Sharpe” into the Midjourney Plagiarism Machine does NOT make you an artist. It’s theft, and lying to boot

i think alicents reaction to rhaenys disrupting the coronation is soooooo indicative of her relationships with each of her kids bc like. she tells criston to defend helaena, who she thinks of as the most fragile and in need of protection (ahem she sees her younger self in helaena ahem), but doesn’t do it herself, bc i think there is a fundamental distance between them, since alicent loves her daughter but doesn’t understand her. aemond doesn’t get a mention, because he has always been the child she sees the most as an adult, her equal she believes on some level can take care of himself. and aegon. she stands in front of aegon. which is suchhhhh a significant thing because. it will not do anything. alicents body won’t protect aegon if meleys decides to burn them, it will just kill them both. alicents life is aegons life, she was married to viserys for him, she became queen for him, everything she did from when she was a teenager was for him. and how beautiful and tragic and horrible that she just decides in this moment that if aegon dies she will die too.
#not to mention alicent's actual relationship with aegon#she sees him for what he is#yet she can't ever disown him no matter how cruel he is#because he has power over here by product of his gender even before he is coronated#if she tried to get justice for dyana she'd be dooming them both to a far worse state than the one she offers dyana in actuality#she gives dyana a path out of the red keep and ensures she won't be forced to raise the kings bastard all on her own#she offers dyana more freedom than she ever allows for herself#and in doing so#entwines her lifeline with aegons that bit more

You know what really fucking Annoys Me about internet censorship is stuff like swear words being heavily censored because that's entirely an American cultural hangup being forced on the rest of us. I don't know a single country where swearing is as taboo as it is in America. In fact most languages have swear words that would have the same effect on an American as giving a Victorian chimney sweep a pepsi max cherry.
Demonitizing Irish people's videos for having swear words in them is a kind of hate crime and psychological torture I think.

Long ago, the four transportation methods lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Shitty CEO Nation attacked. Only government safety regulations could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they vanished.
#the goddamn oceangate submersible makes me so fucking angry#because like#ask maritime engineers and they will tell you that deep sea submersibles are safer than ships#you would be safer in the limiting factor submersible 22621 feet underwater than you would be on any cruise ship#because those submersibles are so well designed and well engineered and extensively tested and proven deep seaworthy#you know the submersible which explored the titanic wreck? it's called alvin#it's been in use since 1964 and it has completed 5214 dives and has transported 15642 people and IT'S STILL IN SERVICE TODAY#IT'S SIXTY YEARS OLD AND HAS COMPLETED OVER FIVE THOUSAND DIVES AND IT'S STILL BEING USED TO THIS DAY#the fact that the oceangate submersible imploded so soon after being commissioned is insanity#we know how to make safe deep sea submersibles#there is no fucking excuse as to why they decided to not use titanium as the main material or why they used so many different materials or#why they made the people part of it a cylinder instead of a sphere#outside of profit#outside of making money and saving money and ''disrupting the industry'' to get more gullible rich old men to give them more money#they knew the risk of using different materials that have to meet and hence create space for pressure too build up#they knew that titanium was the industry standard for a reason and that there wasnt enough research on the effect of deep ocean on carbon#fibre and were risking people's lives by using it#they knew that the best shape is a sphere because there are no corners where pressure can build up and they knew that because that's why#planes kept falling out of the sky back when the windows didn't have rounded corners and they knew it also because it was industry standard#for a reason and they choose cylinder anyway because it gave them more room for more people so they could sell more tickets and make more#money and who gives a shit if you're deliberately creating areas where pressure can and will build up it's not like the submersible wILL#IMPLODE OR ANYTHING#and its the same fucking shit with boeing and tesla and spacex#we have decades of evidence and research and data telling us what works best and what is safe and how best to build these vehicles#but profit hungry ''disruptors'' toss all of that out the window and start cutting corners in the name of ''innovation''#but they don't innovate#they just make worse versions of what we already have#but people but into the hype uncritically and celebrate the enshitification

Going from “celebrations on the streets of Rafah as Hamas accepts ceasefire deal” to “Israel chooses to continue offensive in Rafah and is currently carrying out targeted attacks” within the span of an hour is the most viscerally heartbroken I’ve been throughout the past months

I scrolled past this. Scrolled back up to it. The thought occurred to me: this is just a name I would expect to see here. I would be like oh huh yeah fair enough if I was driving through the midlands and saw a sign saying Cumwater 3 miles.
