So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?

DEFINITELY don’t Lt. John Pike by the nickname “Sargeant Pepper”; I know he HATES that.
Think about this quote like all the time and how it really undermines so much shit in capitalism
Image transcript:
“But what will you do with the lazy man, the man who does not want to work?” inquires your friend.
That is an interesting question, and you will probably be very much surprised when I say that there is really no such thing as laziness. What we call a lazy man is generally a square man in a round hole. That is, the right man in the wrong place, And you will always find that when a fellow is in the wrong place, he will be inefficient or shiftless. For so-called laziness and a good deal of inefficiency are merely unfitness, misplacement. If you are compelled to do the thing you are unfitted for by your inclinations or temperament, you will be inefficient at it; if you are forced to do work you are not interested in, you will be lazy at it.
This seems to be the only time most thin people ever even see a glimpse of how deadly and widespread the oppression of fat people is. But usually the epiphany never actually happens. They just stay at the level of “Wow, everyone wants to be skinny SO bad! And some people even hurt themselves to become skinny….because being skinny is so important to people. Huh…🤔 Eh, probably not important. Let’s go shopping at a store that doesn’t sell clothes to fat people!😁” I am begging people to get to the next level of the equation and finally see the fatphobia all around them that their fat friends and family members have been forced to endure their entire lives but never talked about before. Because we live in a world where oppressing fat people is that normalized and accepted. Not even fat people talk about fatphobia because the bigoted view that our existence is a “blight” on society is ingrained into us from the day we’re born.
Please don’t stop at the few downsides thin people have to their thin privilege (downsides that fat people also experience but at a worse rate). Please don’t stop thinking at solely the level of how fatphobia affects you. Please. Please care about us fat people who are actually being killed and mutilated and beaten and starved. Not just threatened with the potential. Fat people are literally being killed and murdered every day because of fatphobia, and no change will ever be made until people start talking about it.

THERE! IS! A DIFFERENCE! BETWEEN! CULTURAL APPROPRIATION! AND! CULTURAL APPRECIATION!
To completely disregard a person from appreciating a culture or language simply based on what group they’re from and not because they disrespect it is literally trying to isolate people from spreading awareness of said culture, or that many people would not even attempt to research it because of the fear of being “not good enough because I’m not part of the group.”
Not related to this but OP posts Nazi stuff, don’t follow them
“It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven’t left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn’t transition well to adult life, that you’d fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it’s happening.”
white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer
white people go “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman good character as a white person?” and not wait for an answer
white people can rb but please do not clown
white people really cant give a shit abt anyone but themselves unless held at gunpoint or smth huh?
“what about the poor little white kids just trying to have fun?” what about the poor little kids of color made to feel unsafe and unwelcome in a space that was supposed to be fun?
“why can’t poc just make their own redesigns and we can keep these ones” why cant you realize that your actions have consequences and that you should maybe try to not enforce racist stereotypes??
like ofc its ideal to have VARIETY among both villains AND protagonists, its when your characters look like this
that the issue arises
scratch “can”, white people are encouraged to reblog
Fun fact of the day: The Appalachian Mountains are older than the rings of Saturn.
they also continue as the Scottish Highlands!
no wonder both places are so full of ancient spirits
Yes! The Appalachian Mountains, Scottish Highlands, Scandinavian Mountains, Atlas Mountains and Watkins Range in Greenland are all the same mountain range.
They’re so old that they’ve been eroded down, which is why they are not as high as places such as the Rockies.
one of my friends plays soulsborne games by just levelling hp. no investment in scaling stats, no spells, no nothing, just pure vitality/vigor with her damage output relying entirely on weapon upgrades. she acknowledges that this makes the game harder but has adopted a fatalistic attitude towards her own suffering. she doesn’t know about softcaps
👍
That’s a better build than 60% of Elden ring players make. and 35 dex with lightning infusion is gonna work great for damage.
People on here are always like “fuck capitalism, why can’t things be weird anymore” and then write up a whole dissertation about how the biggest IPs need to change to be weirder.
Like, you are so close. You are so close to getting the point. “Big” IPs *can only exist because they are normal*. They will *never* be weird. They will *never* do what you want. Go find some smaller IPs. Bring back discovery. Bring back never having heard of a book before you buy it. Bring back watching obscure anime online that none of your friends know about. Bring back trying new things, even if they’re bad or cheaply made. That is how you get *weird*.
In order to have interesting things to be into, you have to be both willing to be into something unpopular AND willing to engage with media with low budgets. If what you’re in love with is giant production budgets, high quality gloss and huge fandoms, then boring is all you’ll ever have.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday upended a 40-year-old decision that made it easier for the federal government to regulate the environment, public health, workplace safety and consumer protections, delivering a far-reaching and potentially lucrative victory to business interests.
The court’s six conservative justices overturned the 1984 decision colloquially known as Chevron, long a target of conservatives. The liberal justices were in dissent.
Billions of dollars are potentially at stake in challenges that could be spawned by the high court’s ruling. The Biden administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer had warned such a move would be an “unwarranted shock to the legal system.”
The heart of the Chevron decision says federal agencies should be allowed to fill in the details when laws aren’t crystal clear. Opponents of the decision argued that it gave power that should be wielded by judges to experts who work for the governmient.
i’ve never been more convinced at how utterly cooked we are as a country than i have been in the last 24 hours
the Chevron decision will affect every single person in America – and to some extent in the entire world. 70 Supreme Court rulings and 17,000 lower court rulings relied on Chevron. this is massive and cannot be overstated. we are in deep shit.
something about the way my extremely reactive dangerous patient today is wearing a pride collar…
diversity win! this bite risk is GAY! 🏳️🌈
obsessed with the possibility that i could’ve been referring to a human patient who wore a pride collar to the hospital. they’re just really method about their pup play

In the same way I constantly push back against legalism, in practice a number of institutions will simply defacto ignore the ruling and because everyone wants them to do their jobs no one will push back. So it won’t be quite as big a blow to state capacity as it might seem.
But that is just on the margins, overall this is a truly terrible decision, maybe the worst decision of this court so far (yes, worse than Dobbs) depending on how it plays out (there are more limited interpretations that may prevail in the million court cases this will generate). The US continues to be a government at war with itself.
This is the consequence of overturning Chevron I’m more worried about, rather than the partisan one. It’s possible this opens the door to more litigation over every policy decision, less certainty, and more veto points in a system that already has too many.
Now, there are also countervailing effects. One issue with Chevron is that agencies would change their interpretations and courts would defer to each subsequent interpretation, and so referring matters to courts which respect stare decisis might actually increase certainty.
But still, the risk of increased policy paralysis is significant.
admittedly I only know Chevron deference from civil rights litigation, but it is absolutely rotten. it is an excuse to allow arbitrariness on the part of often unelected bureaucrats to make law as they see fit when they see fit, and for the courts to lazily take the side of the powerful when they are fucking with everyone else.
this has got to be up there among the most rotten laws the supreme court has made that are still being followed. if all you tell is that we’re getting rid of Chevron and the government once again has to follow laws and make actual cases in court (at least some of the time) that sounds great to me
This causation is backwards though - Congress has never in any way been limited in its ability to make detailed laws. It absolutely could (and sometimes does) pass say an environmental regulation noting precise quantities of lithium runoff, inspection procedures, and processes for noncompliance determination. It just does not normally do that because it is incapable of doing that, it simply cannot, for the breadth of domains being regulated. It needs bureaucracy to function because reality requires that. Elected bureaucrats suck, they are incompetent, it is only through the balance of power between them and real workers that anything can function (and the US in the main has the most “elected” bureaucrats of any major country, huge problem).
If maximally applied (it won’t be) this would not be an answer to “the government following laws”. It is preventing law from existing at all, and shoving the reality of governance into deeper levels of the shadows because reality will continue to make its demands.
i am looking at you, new ttrpg players. i am looking you in the eyes. you do not need to be like the professional players. it’s okay if you can’t do voices or stutter or need to pause to think about what you’re going to say or how your character would act. we are doing this for fun. gaming should never stop being fun
You do not need to be like professional players
im to going to pgrade one of those.
you SHOULD pause to think about how your character will act. Both in a ‘what would they do as a character’ way and in a 'what will make a better story’ way
speaking as somebody who has been on actual play shows - those professional players *are* pausing. A lot. And discussing their choices with each other, debating how their character would handle things, getting up for drinks in the middle of an in-character conversation, and straight up retconning in conversations in some scenarios. It’s just that almost every show always edits that out to create a singular strong narrative that is better to listen to, but obscuring the reality that improvised play is hard and needs to be thought through
one of the most fascinating youtube subcultures imo is the MRE taste testing community…like those folks who get their hands on military ready to eat meals and do unboxings and taste tests of them? because usually theyre perfectly normal and just interested in testing what militaries around the world eat right now. but some of these folks go the extra mile. they go so hard they threaten to destroy themselves with their own hubris. some of these people are flying towards the sun at alarming rates and are going to not only melt their wings but also their 100 year old preserved foods, causing them to plummet to their deaths, their corpses reduced to stewing in the seawater mixed with the remains of the WWII soviet pea soup they brought with them. im watching a dude eat meat from a 1902 british military ration right now. my dude is deadass out here calmly trying to become the last casualty of the fucking second boer war. as an archivist and general antiques lover ive put my hands on some horrifyingly old and dirty things but the idea of ingesting legitimate american civil war hardtack makes me want to get my stomach surgically removed and i am just so FASCINATED by these people who see these military antiques and think “nice, there’s lunch right there”
“the smell is just awful” SIR you are BOILING cow meat that predates the FIRST WORLD WAR you are boiling beef from a cow that existed at the same time as ELIZABETH CADY STANTON sir this can of beef was canned during the fucking DREYFUS AFFAIR what pray tell WHAT did you EXPECT from this TURN OF THE CENTURY CAN OF MEAT
Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.
reblog this version because transmisogynists don’t know how to fuck off.
you look like the kinda girl who’d open up ms paint back in the day select the spray paint tool and click and hold to watch it slowly turn into a perfect circle
Please draw your oc x canon please be unashamedly loud about it please post it without embarrassment please make dramatic emotional edits of them please indulge yourself
listen listen. when you see a deactivated blog and the url says *url*-deactivatedyyyymmdd that person deactivated voluntarily. if it says just the url and the blog is deactivated that means they got terminated by staff.
