I'm sorry, but can you explain how selling weapons to a government to be used in war isn't profiting from said war? I mean, not trying to undermine your argument but I'm sincerely wondering

war profiteering != ‘profiting from a war’ some of yall need to stop talking about things you dont understand

[dct239394cvvd098dffgggp]

what war profiteering is:

- selling food/goods that people are in need of in war times with insanely high prices cause you can and it isnt illegal

- selling cheap and low quality items that people are in need of in war times cause you can and it isnt illegal

- having a contract with the government to provide x amount of n to them and then not delivering on it/stalling to maximize your profits

- selling/smuggling weapons illegaly to opposing sides of the conflict to prolong the war and maximize your profits by ensuring more of your product will be demanded off you

- basically most of the shady shit done by shady swines during war times to squeeze every bit of money from an already miserable and helpless population/government

what war profiteering isnt:

- being a licenced weapons manufacturer that sells their weapons solely to the government/legal dealerships that they have a legitimate contract with

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

[thesylverlining]

this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job

[kittyknowsthings]

Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety? 

[systlin]

“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.” 

[totohoy-blog]

I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…

Can we talk about Tony’s face when he has to deal with Justin Hammer because it literally gets me through the day.

[marvel-lous-things]

Mans went denial>anger>bargaining>depression because Justin Hammer cannot be accepted

[yourfavoriteneedsahug]

Our mans actually went through the stages of grief because he had to talk to someone.

[kahuna-burger]

Not “someone” but the Weasel King of Lamedonia, Justin Hammer.

[lokiloveforever-deactivated2021]

Don’t really know how to make it any clearer why I hate Thor Ragnarok. For those who believe Loki is nothing but a greasy, piece of shit asshole that deserves everything he gets, fine. Here’s your movie. I happen to think his fate is punishment enough, both for him and those who love him. No amount of denial can make these words go away, and I can’t just ignore it or pretend that that’s okay because Loki smiled and looked good in his suit. And, since when did reacting to people and things that hurt you with tears, anger and hate automatically make you a “tortured goth”?? Waititi doesn’t have a clue about Loki, and it’s obvious where his priorities were during the making of the movie.

[petiteallemande]

I’m Sorry, Tony

Mr Stark can you hear me? It’s Peter! We won, Mr Stark… We won. You did it, Sir, you did it! Mr Stark?

[kahuna-burger]

A completely random thought from the first Iron Man movie… When Obie is still pretending to be on Tony’s side, they have this exchange -

Tony : Why, ‘cause the stocks dipped 40 points? We knew that was gonna happen.

Stane : Fifty-six and a half.

Now we take that to mean that Tony underestimated the impact of his announcement, and it reinforces the idea that Obie does all the real business thinking. But in retrospect, knowing that Obie was the one wanting the injuction, was working against Tony on multiple levels, it flips around.

40 points is the initial stock drop that Tony anticipated based on Obie handling it properly. Putting aside his personal view that 'iron mongers’ was all they were, and placing their non weapon production lines front and center in the discussion. (Remember the comment to Christine about medical equipment and IntelliCrops?) Stane was intentionally mishandling the transition, and it was that, not any failure of business sense on Tony’s part that led to the greater stock drop.

Tldr : Tony was a good businessman, his CFO was just a snake.

[stevenbuckys]

you can’t make this shit up

[stevenbuckys]

so, according to the writers, and the movie’s logic, as explained by the ancient one, and further proven by steve simply showing up as an old man at the end of the movie, without any time travel involved, you can’t create any new branched realities once you return all the stones, meaning steve just stayed in the past, in the main timeline, and decided to sit at home playing house all those years, watching all kinds of tragedies happen and pass him by, knowing that bucky is getting brainwashed right this second and for the next 70 years, and he did nothing.

[fahbee]

The Russos saying that Steve went to an alternate timeline is there way of saving face.  Everyone I’ve talked to that actually liked the ending - I ask them the same thing.  “Explain how Old!Steve appeared on that bench in 2023.”  And for the ones who think he aged-in to the present, I point out that he would have had to live in secret, never interfering in anything.  More than half found the idea of Steve sitting around letting decades of evil happen to be distasteful, unbelievable, out of character, “all kinds of fucked up,” etc.  So as the initial shine and giddiness start to fade, and people are actually taking the time to think about how Old!Steve could possibly show up at the end, many are coming to some unpleasant conclusions.  The Russos have to know this.  It’s why they’re now implying that Steve went to another timeline and did heroic things there, when the writer is saying, “nah he want back to the past and lived with peggy while bucky was being held and tortured as a prisoner of war for more than 50 years.”

[kahuna-burger]

Exactly this. We saw the same thing post Civil War when people questioned Cap’s morals and culpability in keeping the murder of Tony’s parents secret. The Russos wouldn’t hear anything bad about their Cap, so claimed that no matter when or how he found out, Tony would have tried to murder Barnes the next time he saw him, so Cap was right to hide it as long as he could.

The writers, on the other hand, specificly said they had to put the reveal in the final act because with less stress and conflict leading up to it or more time to react, they wouldn’t have gotten the final fight.

In both cases, we have two opposite interpretations, one speaking from the planned story and not addressing any unfortunate implications that may arise, and one retroactively trying to change things based on the realization that their fave doesn’t turn out looking perfect.

tl:dr, M&M describe their writing process and intent, Russos retcon like crazy to save their fave.

GUIDE TO:

FIX YOUR SLEEPING SCHEDULE (1-2 months)

Try to wake up earlier every day. Like 5 - 10 min earlier than the day before. Until you wake up any time before 8am or so…

If you struggle with waking up & snooze button is you bff:

Put your alarm clock as far away from the bed as possible.

Drink a glass of water right after you wake up.

Pour another glass of water on yourself right after you wake up.

Prepare some coffee the night before, leave it by your bedside, drink it after you wake up.

Have your blinds/curtains open, so that it’s bright after you wake up.

Try to go to bed 5-10 min earlier than the night before.

Track how many hours of sleep you’re getting. Aim to get at least 7h per day or 49h per week. 

Increase your sleeping hours incrementally. Aim to get at least 1h of sleep more than the previous week. For example, if this week you slept for 41hrs, aim to get an extra hour of sleep next week, so it’s 42h.Once you get enough hours of sleep and wake up early-ish.

Try to keep your sleeping schedule consistent. It is really important to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.  Even if it’s weekend. Or even if that means, you getting less than 7hrs of sleep that day. I’d say waking up at the same time everyday is the most important step, which will help you the most with fixing your sleeping schedule.

START EATING HEALTHY (1-2 months)

This step really depends from person to person, but firstly I suggest you take some blood tests to see if you have any deficiencies, etc. Especially, if you struggle with cravings.  

Try intermittent fasting, if you struggle with binge eating or overeating. As it will help you to learn to listen to your body better: when it’s hungry, when it’s full, etc. It’s really simple, there are many methods of Intermittent fasting, but I’d suggest 16/8 for the beginners. (Google it for more info)

DRINK ALL THE WATER. Again, if you’re not drinking enough water, try to level up your water game incrementally. Download some water tracking app on your phone to help you. Drinking water will make you more energetic, increase your metabolism, and decrease you appetite (among many more benefits).

Track what you eating. I would really suggest tracking your meals for around a month. Because, most of the time people have no idea that what they’re eating is unhealthy. Again, download an app to your phone for that.

Make your own meals once in a while. Not only this will save you money, but it’ll help you to see what’s really going into your body.

Eat less meat and more veggies/fruits. Go to your local market and buy some veggies/fruits, you have never tried before. I’m sure you’ll find your new favs. Eat/buy less meat. Not only it’s good for the environment, but it is good for you, too. Get a veggie burger instead of the beef one, etc.

Cut dairy. Find your new favourite milk substitute. Advice: Oat milk is really good with the tea and oatmeal/porridge; hazelnut milk is amazing on it’s own; cashew milk goes well with cereals.

Learn more about nutrition in general. It will help you to make better food choices and it will make eating healthy much easier in general, because once you understand all the chemistry behind the food and what it does to your body, you kinda don’t want to make yourself feel worse. Here are some free resources: - Human nutrition course from Alison.com - Crash course Metabolism&Nutrition: Part 1 and Part 2 - The Health Nerd’s YouTube Playlist about nutrition - What I’ve Learnt YouTube Playlist - Human nutrition course from Alison.com - Crash course Metabolism&Nutrition: Part 1 and Part 2 - The Health Nerd’s YouTube Playlist about nutrition - What I’ve Learnt YouTube Playlist

GET PHYSICALLY FIT (2-6 months)

Define your goals. Do you want to lose weight, do you want to get stronger, gain weight, be able to climb stairs without losing breath, run 5k?

Remember - you’re half-way through. Being physically fit has a lot to do with what you put into your body. So, if you fulfilled the previous step of eating healthy - you are half way through!

Make a plan. A Reasonable plan. Be honest with yourself.

Start small. Like, 5 min exercise in the morning. Or doing 10 sit ups per day. Don’t do anything overwhelming, like running 5k everyday if you haven’t run for the past 5 years.

Make sure that you kinda like what you’re doing. If you absolutely hate running - don’t do it. Hate doing sit ups in the morning? Try some yoga instead.

Explore until you find what you like. You don’t have to go to gym to get fit, especially if you hate it. Find a type of exercise, which you actually like. Maybe it’s dancing or hiking, taking your dog for a walk. Sign up for several trial lessons of various sport clubs. Ditch ‘em if you have them until you find something that you love. Stick with that.

Do the small changes in your everyday life. Stairs>Escalator, Walk>Drive, Do some squats while brushing your teeth, switch from regular desk to standing desk, etc…  Find ways to incorporate being active into your everyday life

Track your effort instead of your progress. You cannot really control your progress that much (especially if your goal was to lose weight). However, you can always control your effort. So track it instead. This will leave you more motivated. As you will be able to see that you can do more and more everyday. Whereas, if you tracked your progress, you may not always get the result you hoped for, which might demotivate you and make you upset, wanting to quit.

BEAT DEPRESSION

Do the previous 3 steps and you’re half way through.

See a therapist/doctor. Depression is an illness, requiring medical treatment. So, get it. Remember: there is absolutely no fucking shame in having a mental illness.

Get some extra support. Talk to your friends or family. Or maybe someone on the internet.

Write it out. If you don’t want to talk - write down your thoughts. It can be just as helpful. It’ll help you to understand yourself better, see problems in your thinking, etc.

Distract yourself from yourself. Get someone/something to take care of, so that you can, for a moment, stop thinking about yourself and focus on something else. E.g, get a plant, or a dog, or a fish.

Self-care day. Dedicate at least one day per week for self-care. Take yourself out, either to a museum or some fancy cafe, do some stuff you like, whatever your hobbies are, do some physical self care: bath, face mask, manicure, etc., listen to some nice music, watch a film…..

STOP PROCRASTINATION

Celebrate your victories instead of mourning over your loses.So the only thing you’ve done today was write one sentence for your 20 page essay? Amazing! Buy yourself a candy for that!! I mean, you could’ve done nothing, but you didn’t - you wrote that one sentence and that’s worth celebrating.

Do it for only 2 minutes. If there’s an important thing you’ve been putting off for a while, tell yourself that you will only spend 2 minutes on doing it. If after 2 minutes you don’t want to do it anymore, great, stop it. However, after 2min. you actually might want to do more. No pressure either way.

Track your productivity. Track how much time you’ve been productive that day. Try to increase that time by a little bit every day.

Always forgive yourself. So, it’s been a week and you’ve done nothing? Don’t sweat it. Let it go. Blaming yourself will bring you absolutely nothing. Nothing good will come out of your negativity on yourself. So stop it. Forgive yourself and start again. And again, if you need to. Never stop trying. Always pick yourself after you fall. Beating procrastination and increasing your discipline is a skill. And all skills can be build on. There is nothing in you stopping you from changing. Remember that.

LEARN HOW TO DO TAXES (1h - 1 day)

Go to google.com.

Type in: “How to do taxes *the name of the country you’re living in*”

Read the results.

GET MENTALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE PHONE CALLS

Remember that just as with beating procrastination, making phone calls is a skill. And, again, skills can be learnt.

Get a new SIM card.

Top it up.

Dial some random numbers and pretend to be a salesman, selling whatever you like.. E.g., trying to sell broadband, cable tv, trying to get people to donate for some charity… Or whatever really… Me and some friends used to pretend we’re selling kittens or wood logs. Alternatively, you can pretend that you dialed a wrong person and talk about whatever, e.g. “Hey, Jess!! You wont believe what I saw today!! *start telling a made-up story*…”

If you get uncomfortable - just drop the call. No consequences whatsoever.

Repeat until you build up your game and your phone-call anxiety starts to diminish.

SLAY THOSE BITCHES Congratulations, now you’re ready to take over the world! Got get ‘em!!

PSA - Archive of Our Own

Okay, I know that a good majority of us read fanfic. And AO3 is quite popular, I love that site.

I recently just came across a site on my laptop while I was looking some klance fics to read. I found one and clicked on the link which said it was an AO3 fanfic. Norton Security prevented me from accessing the site because it ‘may be impersonating AO3 to steal your personal or financial information’

If you find a link to a fanfic and it has ‘www.archiveofourown.com’ run for the hills. The true AO3 is .org not .com. It may seem obvious but it’s pretty easy to miss. Just letting all my fellow fanfic addicts out there know that there is a scammer.

I’m trying to tag all the fandoms I’m in so that those people are aware.

What kind of person impersonates a well known fanfic site to steal information. Such a heinous crime. I will admit, this person was pretty smart. All kinds of people read fanfics, especially teenagers. Just think of that and how easy it would be.

Please reblog to every fandom and if you find any other fanfic sites being impersonated please add them to this post. Some of us fanfic readers are close to being adults or are already adults, but there are still twelve year olds and younger who don’t pay attention to things they find on the internet.

Spoiler paranoia is ruining pop culture

Why are the movies and TV shows we most worry will be spoiled for us always the most predictable ones?

literally is there a better example than this of the clickbait-industrial complex laying waste to craft….like no wonder the acting is so flat no one knows even the basic plot of the movie they’re filming 

[yourtinseltinkerbell]

#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again:#if the entire experience of reading or watching your story is ruined by someone finding out the twist#you didn’t write a story. you merely wrote a twist.#the twist might lose some power to shock or surprise you. but experiencing the story should still be worthwhile and compelling.#works of art like films or television shows don’t live or die on plot alone. there’s character and style and cinematography and music#there’s atmosphere and tone and pacing and everything else that contributes to that total experience#knowing in advance that the avengers are going to go to space and fuck thanos up is… literally the least interesting thing about endgame#and if you don’t think so then we truly disagree on what art and fiction are doing and what they’re for#nobody should intentionally spoil the whole plot of a movie to someone who doesn’t want to be spoiled: that’s always a dick move#but i am fucking *exhausted* by anti-spoiler culture#and i am tired beyond imagining of the kind of storytelling that’s evolved around it#the puzzlebox shit is only designed to affect me in one place: the wallet. not the heart or mind. (x)

[macbethz]

Anyway I hate almost everything about the way the Russos direct. between not telling Tom Holland who he’s fighting in a scene and the fact that they locked their actors in rooms for hours to read the whole infinity war script without letting them process it on their own, and then those scripts turning out to be fake, it’s very clear that they don’t care about telling a compelling story. Not only is it disrespectful to the actors, but a good director should want their actors to fully understand the show they’re making so they can get the best out of them and find new hidden nuances. They would want to create the best art possible. A good story can still be good after being spoiled, because the journey itself is the interesting part.

But the Russos are admitting with their very direction style that these movies aren’t intended to be art, they’re products.

[annamaetion]

Tom Holland straight up spoils things without meaning to just in how he reacts to questions (and sometimes with words completely unprompted) I don’t think he’s got a poker face or much of a filter. So they’ve got to do stuff like this.

Plus the fake script is just to flush out where leaks are coming from and is common practice.

[lukore]

spoilers don’t like. matter and weren’t even something people cared about beyond huge shocking twists til fairly recently. a good enough work isn’t actually ‘spoiled’ if someone reveals the twist ending

[kahuna-burger]

Yup, I saw Sixth Sense and Unbreakable knowing the “twist” and still found both movies engrossing and enjoyable. Because they were well made, well acted films. And even in those cases, it was only a final twist that was hidden. Not this bizarre desire to not let us know anything past “it’s the rest of Infinity War! Captain Marvel will be there!”
