In general, if you find yourself referencing sci Fi movies when talking about a real world event, you should stop ask yourself if maybe you don't understand what's going on

Cyberpunk dystopias ain't shit, the second I can get a robot arm I'm doing it. "Ohhh it'll cost you your soul, ohhhh the companies will own your body" if I can torrent videogames and 3D print a gunpla then I can jailbreak my robot arm

i am afraid of what tiktok is doing to people's view of sharks.

i love sharks. i am obsessed with sharks.

and i'm glad that the "jaws" view of sharks is fading. but it worries me that people are saying things like "sharks are literally just ocean puppies". no, they're not as dangerous as a lot of people think, but they're still wild animals. do not treat a shark like a puppy. i've seen videos of people getting themselves bitten by nurse sharks. if you know anything about nurse sharks, then you know that these people were really harassing them. they're not monsters, but they're not your friends either. they're animals who will lash out if they're antagonized or crowded.

anyway sharks are still adorable and i love them very much

We as a society need to accept that animals can be highly dangerous to humans and still not be monsters. Animals aren't good or evil, they literally just are. A species doesn't have to be safe or nice to deserve to exist.

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

y- you were putting it in cold water?????

Radish. Answer the question radish.

yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn’t realize there was an actual reason

You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???

[ID: Tags reading “u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????” /End ID]

why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it

Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove

Its takes less than a minute

Bestie is ur stovetop powered by the fucking sun

How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove

Like seven minutes

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…

Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted

Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic

Yet another post that reads like four shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief

(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution’s brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.

I’m sorry but the THOUGHT that has been put into this, I actually CAN’T—

The fact that nearly every line is so metrically considered- near perfect iambic pentameter witb the occasional trochee for emphasis, but usually retaining a strong sense of rhythm nonetheless. And then the king comes in at the end, so wound in his disbelief that his response is reduced to prose.

And the even better thing about this is how easy it would have been to structure the king’s line into iambic pentameter: it is effectively already said as such because of the way wizardlyghost has phrased it, yet they haven’t!! They did not break the line, rendering what, by all typically of both Shakespearean canon and other periods context should be the character with the most command and authority in the whole play. If there was ever a more effective way to convey a genuine “what the fuck??”, I know of it not.

But it gets better!! Shakespeare regularly uses meter in order to represent class divide; the nobility usually speak in iambic pentameter, save for a few particularly chosen moments (e.g. Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness, Othello’s realisation of Desdemona’s “betrayal”) or just lines where Shakespeare needs to suggest high emotion or when a character is lost in thought. Supernatural characters like the fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Witches in Macbeth usually speak in trochaic tetrameter, an inversion of iambic pentameter. Lower class characters, particularly those used for comic relief (usually under the influence of alcohol), speak with no structure at all: their language is plain prose. Therefore, if this is a conversation between these types of characters, as the prompt from silvergirachi suggests, why the hell are the characters speaking so eloquently???

Now, this is Tumblr. It is subsequently logical to assume that this may have merely been a humorous recreation (and a very good one at that) of the Shakespearean style in a way that is widely recognisable to an audience that may or may not have read a great deal of Shakespeare, which is understandable. However, logic is boring so I’m going to probe further into this to the point where future historians will look to this as an example of overanalysing.

The inherent eloquence of the characters here suggests an unusual subversion of the roles typically assumed in Shakespearean comedy. This could be interpreted along two major avenues: firstly, that the rhetoric displayed by the speakers is fundamentally representative of how truth can be expected even from the most seemingly pointless or ludicrous discussions. Furthermore, it could suggest that it matters not how well constructed your speeches are: if you talk bullshit, it’s going to sound that way despite your attempts to hide it.

This is similar but not identical to the second avenue of interpretation: there is the implication that the noblemen in the play are in fact the comic relief characters, therefore implying that the “common people” of the play are the ones whose influence, though not expressed in such a highly spoken manner, makes a lot more sense than whatever the hell this is. If this was a real Shakespeare play, I would call it a subtle exploration into the innate corruption of the rich and powerful. Well done, op.

Now, I doubt any of this is actually grounded analysis in any way, shape or form, but if someone else can take this to the extremes of writing a Shakespearean scene, why can I not analyse it as such? And where else to do so than Tumblr?

im in tears i didnt think anyone would put this much analysis into this‚ thank you so much

i also like that everyone else gets a version of their handle and then tumblr user pidoop is promoted to king

Oh my god you’re right no one mentions that you can use an electric kettle to make the tea.

i’ve been getting notifications from this post for over a year now and i can assure you, literally fucking everyone mentions that you can use an electric kettle to make tea.

I’m beginning to think I don’t know what a kettle is.

video games explaining mechanics in-canon is my favorite thing

I'm sorry but nobody does it better than MGS

I love atomized individualism. I love betraying nation and bloodline. I love rejecting the social order. I love being able to pursue my own goals even when the world around me wants me to adopt theirs instead. I love blasphemy and queerness and getting to choose who my family is.

Do you like cooperating with others to achieve goals?

If you like cooperating with others to achieve goals, you don’t love atomized individualism

If you hate cooperating with others to achieve goals, you’re a libertarian

Both of you are ignoring what the post is actually saying and replacing it with something you imagined.

“Do you like cooperating with others to achieve goals?” is separate from the point. “Do you like being able to choose what your goals are even if they go against patriarchal, religious, cishet social standards and norms?” is closer.

This was right there in the original post, if you read it.

Community note: The writer of the original post is an atheist from a country named after Jesus, a bi + trans refugee from a country where you are at a real risk of being murdered over that, and was explicitly referred to as her abusive father’s property with no agency or freedom of her own.

This context may be relevant to understanding the meaning of the post and what ideals are being expressed within, and how they may not have anything to do with basic and generalized cooperation but rather subjugation by hostile and controlling social structures.

Just a reminder that the Expanse RPG by Green Ronin is dropping today (or very close to it I don’t know the exact time/date - it’s listed in their online shop in pdf and hardback format but is still tagged as ‘coming soon’) BUT you can download a quick start of the game on their website HERE to get a taste of the system and world, the writing and graphics etc.  Definitely check it out!  

For hard copy & pdfs, the RPG is listed at 49.95; the GM guide is 24.95 (for physical copies; pdfs are available and are bookmarked and cross referenced; the main PDF is 26.95 & the GM’s pdf in 9.95.) The quick start is available in physical copy for 7.95 or you can download the quick start pdf for free from Green Ronin website HERE.

Also for those that prefer board games over RPGs there is an Expanse board game, and an expansion set for it called Doors and Corners that is made by WizKids and I know it’s available on Amazon, it’s probably available on other sites but I haven’t hunted down anything else.  I can’t give a personal review of the board games but they look pretty awesome and from what I’ve read and seen of the quick start for the RPG, it looks pretty spectacular.  

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon Official Art Works

Something about the proportions in AC's 6th gen feel... Off (both models and art), and I can't put my finger on why.

Its like an uncannyness, like something's off or missing.

e: Is it just me or are the arms on all of the cores the same distance apart?

It's cute how they think they're not making weapons. For scientists they're kind of small minded

I mean thats the point. Scientific progress is aiming to help people and make their lives easier and better, the tools that can help you can also be turned against you.

Of course they weren't thinking how these tools can be used as weapons, they weren't meant to BE WEAPONS, they were supposed to help people.

It's cute how they think they're not making weapons. For scientists they're kind of small minded

It's weird to call them small-minded when there are plenty of real life examples where something was built for a specific purpose, and then it shit ton of people did not use it for that purpose
