tv tropes doesn’t say or imply tropes are negative; it repeatedly specifies the opposite. cinemasins is bad because it actively frames the existence of tropes as a bad thing.
TV tropes- this trope really explains this one part of the movie
Cinemasins- this movie has a beginning middle and end, setting, and characters so :/:/:/:/
People are blocking streets and I hear people talk about this as if they're actively murdering children.
this is probably one of the funniest mentions of me in a news article so far
ALTftr i am not involved in SiegedSec (but shoutout), just so thats clear
i just find using me ("another trans furry hacker") as a reference for how easy it is to hack shit rly funny in this context
The Crushing Weight of Not Knowing If There Is a Task
im starting to think this crushing weight is not about the tasks
It's not "everyone" acting like it's normal. The majority of people know something's wrong they just don't have the tools to fix it. Maybe a plurality don't know that the problem is capitalism, they blame it on something else, but they're still aware there's a problem. "Everyone" is just too exhausted from working 4 jobs, 50 hours a week to scream into the void in their spare time.
ALTguess I gotta pull out this bad boy again huh
what the fuuuuuck
this is a short horror story
Please make sure to reblog this with the explanation you guys:
The toddler doesn’t know Alexa is a name; as far as they’re concerned it’s a word that makes things happen. If the kid was saying “please play baby shark” it would mean literally the same thing to them because they don’t really understand language yet.
The toddler is mimicking adult behavior because they have seen adults say things that start with “Alexa” and have learned that starting a request with “Alexa” makes it more likely to be fulfilled. This kid has learned something about how their world works purely through observation! This isn’t a bad thing! It’s just been misapplied and it’s up to the parents to correct their speech as they grow enough to understand the difference.
Disney using gay as a weapon against a fascist because taxes is on brand but wasn't on my bingo card for 2023
I'm so glad that the capitalist hellscape is at least funny
A tale of "why don't we riot like the French"
Also worth noting is that in France it’s fucking illegal to hit a protestor with your car and there are no Stand Your Ground laws.
Why can’t we protest like France? BECAUSE WE’LL GET FUCKING KILLED.
Not quite correct, lib.
I’ve seen some weak ass takes about how after 2020 the police are “more militarized” and thats whats stopping us from rioting.
Thats some big “you’re lucky I'm held back” energy. As if people across the planet in the global south arent facing off with pigs who routinely fire live rounds at protestors. Compared to that, we have it easy in some regards here.
Police in El Salvador, Mexico, Iraq, Venezuela, the Philippines etc. have militarized police and security forces that kill with impunity. These places are also raveged by violent right-wing militias, gangs, and cartels that terrorize indigenous, queer, and working people.

On March 26, in Sainte-Soline (France), our comrade S. was hit in the head by an explosive grenade during the demonstration against the basins. In spite of his critical condition, the prefecture first intentionally prevented emergency services from intervening, then prevented them from transporting him to an appropriate care unit a second time. He is currently in neurosurgical intensive care. At this time, his life hangs by a thread.
The outburst of violence that the demonstrators suffered inflicted hundreds of injuries, including several serious physical injuries, as announced in the various reports available. The 30,000 demonstrators had come with the objective of blocking the construction of the mega-basins of Sainte-Soline, a project of water monopolization carried out by a small number of people for the benefit of a capitalist model that has nothing left to defend but death. The violence of the armed arm of the democratic state is the most striking expression of this.
In response to the window of possibility that the movement against the pension reform has opened, the police are mutilating people and even trying to assassinate people in order to prevent an uprising, to defend the bourgeoisie and its world.
also WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY CAN'T YOU PROTEST LIKE WE DO IN FRANCE, YOU LITERALLY DID DURING BLACK LIVES MATTER, YOU PUSHED COPS OUT OF A CITY
some people just love to whine, "oh we can't protest there'd be repression" no shit "oh it's better over there" no it's fucking not, "oh these guys who protested didn't protest right" yeah right fuck you
Shout out to French protestors rioting once again. Y’all are taking real risks for a better world and you don’t deserve these pathetic online takes that disregard your bravery, written by folks who would never riot even if we armed the police with teddy bears and marshmallows.
Cops killed Nahel, a 17yo kid, last Tuesday. It's another person killed because of cops' racism. It's the match that makes the explosion. We French now riot whatever laws are. The minister of police is a racist and rapist, the cops are protected from everything, the French government spits in our face since too long. Before we were rioting because its our right, but this riot is not because we can, but because we must. Laws are still made to protect the cops, but this time laws won't stop us. 994 people were arrested for rioting since Tuesday, most of them are poc people, because they're the most touched by all of this, and they are still proving it. It's not a riot like the ones for the abusive retirement laws, it's a riot to avenge people's lives, and to show we won't let that happen without acting. It involves lots of destruction, maybe not the places we should target first, but our wrath is too big.
Justice for Nahel, and all the other victims!
my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like "hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench" and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it's extremely entertaining
and my parents are always like "oh my god why would you do that" bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour
Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.
Asking is a love language
This is also true for people who are not autistic, like academics and people who enjoy teaching! One of my happiest memories is the time some of my friends were chatting on the porch, and one of them stuck their head in and said, “Hey Ash, why are owls associated with wisdom?” And I was like, “Well! It’s because--” and she called another friend and they let me teach them about Athena for two minutes.
