so many social justicey arguments really do seem like they were invented in a lab to be a saw trap for people with obsessive compulsive tendencies

only just now realizing what a weird mix of metaphors this was. you all know the labs where they brew up the saw traps

i never thought global warming wasn't real but it really hits when it's winter and i'm out here in summer clothes 🤡🤡🤡

NO SHIT... THATS WHAT IT IS THEN

What? The max temp on the scale is 32 C, and the hottest on South America is gray (about 16 C). Twitter account @extremetemps isn't interpreting this map at all correctly -- yhat or the map is not in fact "evidence" to support their claim at all. I've checked the weather in Atacama, Chile--range from 12 C to 19 C from 9/30/23-8/1/23.

those aren't temperatures, those are temperature deviations. the grey is 16 C above the baseline. looking at a related site that seems to use a slightly different baseline:

why none of them got into The Good Place

What I love about this is its acknowledgment that Jason had no intentions at all

this is all 100% true but it always made me really mad that Chidi’s “crime” was having a severe anxiety disorder like he needed understanding and therapy, sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up

I feel like a less-surface theme of the show is that they’re all in a situation where they have been forced into bad patterns by forces outside their control - Chidi has SEVERE anxiety; Eleanor was forced by abuse and neglect to adopt a self-centered attitude from early childhood and, like many people with traumatic pasts, responds by not dealing with difficult emotions; Jason was very overtly raised in an environment where he got no education and all his models for behaviour were criminal and/or self-destructive; and Tahani has been raised in an environment where everything is performative and she is shot down for any genuine expression of unhappiness or non-material want. Just as Michael and Janet are made one way but changed by their experiences, the moral of the story is that things outside your control shape you but you can move away from them. That could easily be really insulting, in a sort of ‘just get over it’ way, but the idea isn’t that they change solely because they decide to be better - all six of them change because their circumstances change and give them the OPPORTUNITY to be better, because they’re finally given the support system they lack.

I like The Good Place because the whole show has since day 1 been predicated on the idea that black and white moral judgements made in a vacuum are bullshit, and that moral choices are informed by things outside our control, whether that be education, behaviour modelling, unfair treatment or mental health issues. That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for our actions but it DOES mean we have to understand morality in the context of people’s varied experiences AND asks for the possibility that if their environment is improved, their ability to function as moral agents also improves.

“sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up” yea it was fucked up that was the entire point they made in the show. thats why they spent multiple seasons fighting to change the system of the Good Place vs. the Bad Place.

I want that "come over so we can nap" kinda relationship
