Wow there’s some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).

Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices

For anyone who can’t/won’t read that twitter thread, it’s by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) and it says: 

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, ohok and he continues.

“you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.” And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty And peace treaties are not unilateral. They have obligations running in both directions.

You are not bound to tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate you. Nor should you tolerate people who have a stated intent to not tolerate people who are tolerating you.

Thank you for sharing this everyone, for image IDing and all of it, thank you.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

i hope shein gets shut down i hope ai projects get shut down i hope billionaires go bankrupt i hope public transportation expands fast i am so tired of the world's bs

Shein is going down for being an organized criminal organization. Actors and Writers are striking. Student Loan debt relief may actually go through after all. Jack Smith is closing in on Trump, and all signs point to him dying in prison. Billionares are dying in ignoble and humiliating ways. Please God keep this ball rolling, it almost feels like the first taste of justice in about as long as I can remember.

If you’re a poor person listen spending less on things that makes you happy/only spending money on essentials will not get you out of poverty but will make you want to kill yourself

Everyone gets so mad when they see poor ppl spend money on anything other than food and rents and i gotta tell you being a “good” poor is a misery trip you’ll never please these people

I’m thinking a lot about how Andor as a show opposes a lot of the ideas of the Jedi code, and I’ve seen a few people put their thoughts on the lines about trying, so I thought I’d toss my brain in the ring

“Do or do not, there is no try”: a 1983 message about motivation and taking control of your own motivation and purpose. Do nothing by half measure, you have to have intent to succeed or you’ll never make it. In a movie that has been officially stated to be anti-war commentary about the protests against the Vietnam war, it makes sense that this would have a double meaning for viewers. Given by a wise old master to a young man as passing along wisdom.

“Remember this: try”: a 2022 message in a time where way more people feel absolutely hopeless about the state of the world. No matter how dismal you think it might be, you can make a chip against the despair in the world. If you just try a little, make an effort, it will help. In a show that’s blatantly anti fascist and anti capitalist, it’s clearly meant to be a message that just a little does something, even if it all seems futile. Said by a young rebel in a manifesto that he’s writing against the fist of the Empire.

Obviously this is a good amount of nonsense, it’s currently past 2 am and I’m kinda rambling, but my god. My god. This show has taken over my mind entirely

reblog not for a “bigger sample size” but because polls like this are a fun way to help people reinforce their own self-concept and passing it along so that other people can also have the opportunity to strengthen their sense of self by pressing a button is a cool and nice thing to do

No joke they managed to get the tone of the game down perfectly. It's actually wild that I'm feeling the same sense of apprehension gnawing at me like I did when I played the game for the first time.

Going to watch the first episode of The Last of Us on HBO tonight and will try not to cry but it doesn’t help that I’m already in tears just thinking about how I felt the first time I played this game…

I always have to start the New Years with this picture.

digging in my trash

It’s a shame that Halo Infinite’s campaign was swept under the rug by the fans over multiplayer issues.

When I say this is in my top 2 fav campaigns for Halo, I mean it.

Let’s talk about the story itself. I’m tired of nobody talking about the one good thing about this game.

Halo 4 touched up on Chief’s struggle with humanity, but Halo Infinite knocked that shit outta the ballpark. It was a genius idea to pair Chief with a Normal civilian and a newborn AI. These contrasts are what brought out the obvious issue John has and it was freakin’ brilliant. Without that contrast, everybody meshes into the same mold (not in a bad way!! everyone was a badass and thats just the story). So finally having somebody ask Chief, “are you okay???” is one of the best ideas they’ve ever had. No, he’s not okay. Who would be in his situation? Infinite brought to light what previous games hadn’t. He’s more than a vessel you play as. For the first time, he’s forced to look at everything, all at once, while having someone tell him “dude, that’s not normal.”

Esparza is a big reason why I love this game as much as I do. He’s just A Guy, and we’ve never had that as a main character before. He didn’t get sucked into a religious cult, he’s not a spartan, he’s not an ODST or a badass AI. He’s literally just a guy. And that was brilliant. Without someone next to Chief yelling “why the hell are we running towards the explosion” all the time, you don’t really catch John’s issues as easily. Esparza is interesting and new for this franchise. He’s also and incredible foil for Chief— he expresses any and every emotion he feels, good and bad. Esparza never feels guilty for it, never feels like he has to hold back. If he feels something, he lets you know (yelling at Chief for telling him to calm down, literally PUNCHING Chief’s chest plate, damn near sobbing at the Graveyard, hugging him as close as he can when Chief and Joy (the weapon) get back, constantly being afraid if what’s coming next, ect). That’s beautiful to see, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character in-game as expressive and emotionally honest as Esparza. And Chief? He’s literally the exact opposite, as we all know. And having Joy (The Weapon) play as the “innocent” trope is interesting, because she sheds light on the beauty of the ring for John. Nobody’s done that— ever. And what’s interesting is that John will do anything for Esparza. Which is odd to see, because all of his previous friends were either spartans, AI, a badass Sargent, or an 8 foot tall alien. This time, it’s a literal civilian, someone so vulnerable compared to everybody else.

This campaign was beautiful. Escharum was a drama queen with the excessive monologues, that’s my personal opinion (the Anakin Skywalker of Halo lmfao), but despite that, I still ended up liking him in the end after his death scene. It started to make sense, and Chief could tell it was, too. Everything was beginning to make some damn sense. So many events and words were finally enough to make him cock his head to the side and say, “wow, I’m actually not okay, and that means something”. And it’s perfect, it’s almost completely perfect. It’s literally a crime that this is being ignored, because not only do we get to see Chief actually process his own emotions, but we get to see phenomenal character development in a new character (Esparza), and that’s hard to come by in a video game.

And Joy? My GOD. She was fantastic! Watching her freak the hell out over discovering that she’s a clone of Cortana was heartbreaking. Watching Chief try to wipe her out was even WORSE. My jaw actually dropped when I went through that scene the first time, because what hell, thats not like him. And really, that’s the point of Joy. She makes you realize he’s not himself. This isn’t Halo 2– this is almost a completely different person, now, after the loss of Cortana. And really, can you blame Chief? After everybody he’s lost or in his mind, let down? Miranda, Johnson, Samuel, Cortana, his own planet, Dr. Tilsen and her crew, Foe Hammer, and so many more— I would close myself off, too. But it was still hard to believe when he made the attempt. Joy had EVERY right to be as furious as she was (it was also kinda hilarious). There’s just so much… emotion in this game, and that’s beautiful.

Republican *clap* are *clap* fascists *clap*

Republicans also want to:

-make it legal for health insurance companies to discriminate against chronically ill people, so they can deny them services or charge them more than everyone else

-Let states ban interracial marriage (Alito mentioned Loving, Thomas didn’t)

-get rid of public school and all teacher standards, allowing people to teach without an education

And I’m probably forgetting even more moments of comic book level of evil.

Calling Republicans a disease upon the planet is an insult to disease

If God herself came down from heaven and said “You can have one wish, you can wish to live in a world where no one is a Republican or a world where no one gets cancer” my reaction would be “Well, at least there’s a chance that people who have cancer might get better”

Oh my gods they’re adorable! Have a nice day at work, Employment Jelly
