Carry on my wayward son

concept: there are lots of different worlds and all of them have different levels of access to magic. Some are just all over the place and some have no magic at all.

You would think that we would be one of the strictly non-magical worlds, but actually, that’s not the case—we don’t have like, a huge excess of magic, but we have, like, dreams, and the placebo effect, which puts us pretty solidly in the “Numinous” world category.

This post brought to you by the placebo effect, which is completely insane if you think about it for more than like 3 seconds

but for some reason we insist on thinking of it like “so people’s symptoms improve, but like, it’s Fake” rather than “HOLY SHIT humans are so powerful, they can improve the symptoms of their illnesses just by believing they are being cared for.”

Anyway just imagine like

Human, suddenly sucked by portal into a Magical Land: damn I wish I came from a magical world lol

Elf wizard dude: hahaha bro what are you talking about

Human: well, my world is just—

Elf wizard dude: what about the magic rocks????

Human: What magic rocks?

Elf wizard dude: You know, the magic rocks. The ones that generate near infinite energy by tearing apart the fabric of their reality? You know, like, uranium? You haven’t found those yet?

Human: Wait wait wait. That’s not—

Elf wizard dude: And like, come on, you even have some low level necromantic spells over there, like—

Human: We do not have necromantic spells, what are you talking about

Elf wizard dude: didn’t you say your friend was an EMT though? they do that shit all the time. Hell, you don’t even have to be like a high level caster or some shit, it takes like a few weeks to learn CPR

Human: Wh—

Elf wizard dude: You guys do have CPR, right?

Human: I mean yes but—what the—CPR is not necromancy!! That’s not how it works, it doesn’t bring people back from the—well I guess technically it does but that doesn’t

Elf wizard dude: Next you’re going to be telling me Mothman doesn’t “count” either.

Human:

Human:

Human: …What.

Human: You don’t understand. I mean…Radioactivity kills people!

Elf wizard dude: Ohhh. You got just the cursed magic rocks.

Human:

Elf wizard dude: Damn. That sucks man.

Elf wizard dude: So you have no talking animals? None?

Human: Well I mean—there is that one type of parrot but like that doesn’t—

Elf wizard dude: godDAMN it

It got better!

Human: Oh, right, and various of the corvids. Ravens and that. They talk too.

Elf wizard dude: And no sapient animals? At all?

Human: Well ... I mean, depends what you call ‘sapient’. Crows remember who’s nice to them and bring them presents, and will get the whole flock to attack people who are mean to them, and cats basically conned us into lavishing them with food and attention--

Elf wizard dude: And that?

Human: Oh, that’s a pigeon. They’re really dumb, though.

Elf wizard dude: It’s getting on your public transport network!

Human: Yeah, it’ll get off at its stop-- wait.

Elf wizard dude: CATCHING ON YET?!?

Avatar

Elf wizard dude: Well, at least you don't have the thinking sand oracles.

Human: The what?

Elf wizard dude: OK, this one is real crazy. Powerful arcanists take sand, use heat spells to extract certain materials from it, and melt them into these runes, right? I mean, there's some metal components too, even gold. And they're all put onto these handheld boards in these runic channels. Then these cover these magic sand boards with glass, that they can conjure images of artificial realities onto...

Human: Oh shit dude, I think that's just cell phones.

Elf wizard dude: You gave them telepathy?!

This absolutely made my day!!!

I agree with the message but?! this is tone deaf coming from one of the elitist, most prestigious fashion events in the world. you are rich to even be invited, an event where the ticket is literally $30,000.... I’m gonna eat YOU

None of you people understand the actual reality of how much the ultra-rich hoard. Aoc is not even a blip on the radar of rich. Aoc grew up poor in the bronx and continued to work as a bartender while she was on the campaing trail.

Is she wealthier than the average person? Yeah. No shit sherlock. But does she qualify...as RICH?? My fam...my guy....my bud.....the answer is simply No.

Aoc wants to tax the 1%. The people who can afford to buy space programs, influence elections and send countries to war.

She is not referring to...like....lil nas x here. Shes referring to jeff fucking bezos.

Please learn the difference between BEING WEALTHY (aoc) and being RICH (bezos, gates, etc)

Also, one of Ocasio-Cortez's big things is buying from artists/fashion designers who are involved in their community and actively promote culture that is often left behind in fast fashion (like when y'all slammed her for that bag). The dress was made by Aurora James. Now, I don't know SHIT about fashion but uuuuh, knew I heard the name somewhere. Here's just the first paragraph of her wiki article. By all means, go read the rest.

Additionally, she didn't pay for the ticket or the dress. The designer made the dress, bought the ticket, and invited her to attend wearing the dress. The met gala is basically an event where celebrities become billboards for designers. AOC showed up to an event full of filthy rich people wearing a dress by an activist designer that says "tax the rich" on it.

AOC is not rich. Her salary is 175,000 a year. That's literally upper middle class.

Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic

HAS ANYONE ON THIS THREAD HEARD OF A FUCKING ELECTRIC KETTLE

actually I don't particularly give a damn if people do good things for the "wrong" reasons

donating just to feel good about yourself? awesome every penny is still present and helpful

doing volunteer work just to post about it on social media? cool I wish more people would, those volunteer hours really add up

being nice to people to "trick" them into thinking you're a good person? buddy you just accidentally marie kondoed your own personality.

feeding the hungry, housing the unhoused, healing the injured? do you think the hungry, the poor, the sick and the exhausted give a damn about your moral dilemmas? do you think for one second that something as flimsy as your intentions makes warm food, a safe bed, and the abscence of pain any less real to those who receive them?

doing nice things for "selfish" reasons is fine actually. especially if it encourages more people to do those things. if you are making the world a slightly better place to live in, I really don't care what your motivation is; the rest of us still have to live here.
