It's a little bit funny how many times Lu Guang admits in his internal dialogue in Bridon arc how he actually just. has no idea what he's doing. he and Liu Xiao are playing some mastermind game of chess with literal time and space except Liu Xiao has a long-term intricate strategy 47 moves ahead and Lu Guang is just moving his little white knight all over the board playing it safe until he catches Liu Xiao's rook unawares. any space in his brain for master plotting is taken up by Cheng Xiaoshi

Fr. It reminds me of that meme where two people are playing chess but the other one gets their friend to eat the pieces.

But here, LG’s playing chess knowing only half of the rules, LX is multitasking by playing tetris, and CXS thinks he’s playing codenames and eats pieces with a 50% success rate.

Don't go, please don't go

the game restarts

I feel as if studio ghibli films being reduced to their 'cozyness' would be tragic if not for the fact that it is a deliberate branding thing for them. from the ghibli museum to the revolving door of hot topic collabs, miyazaki and/or the people he puts in charge of these things are aware of how desirable the worlds within ghibli films are. even at that, how meaningful is the politics of howl's moving castle being motivated by miyazaki's outrage at the 2003 iraq invasion when you examine it alongside the actual text of the wind rises? what does the environmentalism of ponyo mean when faced with the massive amounts of waste generated by ghibli merch you can get at wal mart? i'm straying from the point here but

stop using chat gpt. i can also feed you misinformation when you ask me questions and also im beautiful

some piece of penis on twitter stole my post then that got reposted to tumblr and got 60k notes. my psyonic warriors. source your chat gpt slander ethically

Lines of thought that seem Normal but are actually rooted in extreme puritanism:

-Seeing the nude human body is inherently traumatic -Sex scenes in art are pointless -Wearing kink-related clothing in public is the similar to performing a sex scene in front of unwilling participants -Depicting female characters expressing sexuality is always degrading -People's sexual fantasies are always an endorsement of the behavior they want to see in real life -Sex work is more traumatic and coercive than other types of work The goal is to treat sex as just another thing people do. That is a much healthier attitude than hiding it! It's not uniquely traumatic, it's not weird to talk about it or include it in society.

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

And for abled people looking in as outsiders, it's not always going to be a disability you can understand. And not in just in an "invisible disability" way, but also like it's not always someone being purely unable to work. It's often more like, "I can work most of the time, but I'll need to call out or leave early for my health a lot, and I keep getting fired for that." People in that position may seem capable of holding a job, to an outsider looking to make a moral judgement on them. But in reality they've tried their best and been unable to stay employed. Let alone being able build a fulfilling career based on networking and experience in their field. This already takes away so many people's dreams. It shouldn't also take away their respect or dignity from their peers.

Also, the people being annoying on the internet aren't unemployed. We're literally all engineers.

that’s quitter’s talk

you have to crouch and then press a to do a backflip

use whirlwind sprint

climb on the desk and double jump from there

hookshot to the ceilight lamp then move the pad back and forth to swing

Hang onto the tiny ledge on either side and shimmy across.

Fuckin triangle jump

Wallrun and jump to it

There’s a secret vine on the outside of the building that connects to the window and you open from there

There’s defiantly a secret switch somewhere to allow you to cross. Go and break as many objects as possible until you find the button!!

you’re just not thinking with portals.

They intended to dummy it out, but you can still access it if you strafe into the corner at the right angle.  Doing this will bypass 3 nights of your stay and glitch out your room service to read 244 pizzas (the pizzas are actually infinite-use, the counter will not decrease).

Just go outside and punch the ground a couple times. Go back inside and build a noob tower up to the sitting area, it can’t be higher than 3, 4 blocks.

jump and then hit control

paint the entire wall and then just swim in the ink

Get a rocket launcher and shoot your feet

Build a remote-controlled sentry gun, aim at your feet while crouched, then fire the SECOND button.

It’s for spiderman, when he visits on vacation.

Press the switch to activate the ring path, then light speed dash

Flash step to the area.

First you need to get the spider ball, then there’s a hidden morph ball power outlet behind the front desk that activates a spider ball track. You can reveal the outlet using the x-ray visor. Getting up there will earn you an extra energy tank.

Pull the lever, Kronk.

You jump, pop a grenade below your feet, the blast carries you over

if you press jump shift and crouch all at the same time it glitches you to be able to walk on the wall over to the area

drink a monster-redbull-energade drink concoction and yeet yourself up with pure willpower

You just have to nerdpole up dummie

Ladder.

open the door while standing in the space of the open door, jump twice, and you’ll be able to get there

jump while crouched to do a bullet jump, should get you up there

You could use a couple spears, do a backflip, do an explosive jump, grapple worm, ascend yourself…

Also there’s several valid names in this thread.

@mintyfoxdev486 @first-witch double jump?

Wavedash

Jump to the lamp then jump to the siting area

Find a Hanged Man card if you don’t have any flight items already

Find a Hanged Man card

if you don’t have any flight

items already

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

Silver never gives his full name when he introduces himself while Sonic and Shadow always give their full names

I think Silver's manner of introducing himself is its western localised form of habitual rude aptness. It's like the equivalent of just saying "Hello" to your boss instead of "good morning [insert title here]."

The lack of greeting yourself with your full name in the Sonic series might just be a tad improper, but not something that'll turn people away from you. Silver doesn't beat around the bush, and even compared to Shadow, will cut out any air of ambiguity or waiting just to get to his point.

He doesn't need to tell you more than necessary, and to him, even his full name isn't worth the extra seconds.

To Love is To Defy (A Lu Guang and Orpheus Essay)

on a mood to draw them again

As someone with violent and even homicidal ideation, I think the choices people make are far more indicative of their moral character than anything else.

Thoughts mean nothing. Thoughtcrimes don't exist, especially because what we think is out of our control. If you're not running around hurting people or advocating for others hurting people, then you're fine. For the love of fuck stop stigmatizing mental illnesses and and the unsavory symptoms some of them tend to have.

People can't help it whether they have intrusive thoughts or even fantasize about violence. It doesn't mean we're going to do it. I'm not going to apologize for my symptoms nor does someone finding them off-putting give them a license to be ableist/sanist about it.

this all the way. i interviewed a kid in jail not long ago - he was barely an adult - to get him set up with a PD, and i ask him how he got charged with terroristic threats.

this kid tells me that he was journaling - something his therapist told him to do - and wrote down that he gets suicidal and homicidal thoughts when he gets angry. his mom bullied him into reading his journal and then called the cops bc apparently this constitutes threatening his mom and whole family’s lives?? and the complaint literally says that it was written down and nothing was ever said to anyone, and that the journal had more in it about calming down etc etc.

and i just had to take a minute to breathe through my nose bc i wanted to rant and rave. imagine somebody else reading your fucking private journal that your therapist *asked you to keep* to help manage moods, interpreted your private thoughts as an imminent threat worthy of *police intervention*, and then gets you thrown in jail for something you didn’t do???

it’s fucking disgusting how society treats ppl who have homicidal/suicidal thoughts, especially if you’ have one of the Scary Bad People diseases like schizophrenia, bipolar, etc.
