Invalid Conscience

This comic makes me so stupid emotional. She might have never known.

My genius remains unrealised

Every so often this gets another wave of notes, and I will mention “Ah, my snost is getting snotes.”

If you try to say anything to me today that's not about my flying fish pepper shaker from the antique store, I will beat the shit out of you. I'm so serious.

Employees must wash hands before returning to work

some random redemption arcs that aren’t just ‘zuko, but a little to the left’

Some examples from games I have played:

People who talk about what population density is necessary to "justify" a rail system are wrong but they're wrong in the opposite way from how they think. Even in Japan which has more than twice the population density of China the rail system is not profitable. JR makes most of its profit by operating malls and collecting rent from vendors. If you blindly follow profit instead of considering the broader social benefits the result will always be putting your rail system into a death spiral of rationalization. Stop expecting public transport to turn a profit that's not what it exists for.

The point of transit is to move people and goods from one place to another. If you expect that to be a profit center, you're expecting a private tax on all commerce as if that were a good thing.

the same people who complain about public transport not turning a profit also expect their government to build and maintain roads for them to "freely" drive on, as if those were not horribly costly. but that's road infrastructure, it justifies itself, it doesn't have to make a profit, what will we do without it, they will clamour, not realising THE SAME APPLIES TO OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION

The thing is having public transit will cause economic growth, and save people on the whole a bunch of other costs, much the way housing and preventative healthcare does.

You WILL see a payout, but it will be reflected in the GDP or whatever on the whole, while quite potentially looking like a loss when you just look at the transit system itself.

Public transit is a service. Like mail. Like healthcare. Like education. The point isn't to directly profit, it's to support people and other systems. You sink some money into street lights and having paved streets because of all the benefits you get out of that, not because having a street light is directly profitable.

It will enable people to access better work, better housing options, better childcare. It will reduce the costs and time waste associated with over crowded streets and reduce the cost to maintain that infrastructure, reduce pollution. That will have health impacts on everyone. Everyone's physical and mental health will get that little bit better. It will reduce accidents and emergencies and leave more room for emergency services/vehicles.

It's about thousands of little butterfly effects that come from having a population of people that's increasingly enabled to be at their best and to have options open to them.

Roads don't make a profit, either, but people don't complain about the government building and maintaining them.

Imagine the backlash if it were suggested that drivers pay a tax for roads, and they charged you per mile you drove on them.

hi uh i keep seeing this being debated on tiktok and as your resident adult with a history of infertility who knows just.. way too much about pregnancy and hcg tests: if you are capable of getting pregnant, you really REALLY need to understand how drugstore pregnancy tests work. if there is a line, no matter how faint, that test is POSITIVE. I’ve seen people test positive and get a negative or start their period a few days later and be like “it must have been a false positive”. actual false positives are extremely rare. what most likely happened is something called a ‘chemical pregnancy’ which is when an egg is fertilized but does not implant in the uterus so the pregnancy does not continue. that positive test was not faulty or false, it was just an early test.

if you think you might be pregnant, get your hands on a test. you don’t need the fancy digital ones. the ones you can buy at places like the dollar tree work just as well. buy a few and take one every day until your period comes on if you need to. if there is a FAINT line you aren’t sure about (sometimes tests have something called an indent that makes a shadow that can be mistaken as a very very faint line), test again the next day. as a general rule, morning is the best time to test for most people.

in a post-roe america, is it vitally necessary that you know and understand that because if you intend to terminate, your window is incredibly small in most states and by the time you’ve missed a period or begun to suspect you might be pregnant, there’s a decent chance you are past the cutoff. please please please educate yourselves on this because it could mean the difference between you having access to the healthcare that you need.

I made this so now all y'all have to look at it.

Every thousand notes I’ll make him thiccer.
