The greatest trick capitalist propaganda ever pulled was convincing people that "freedom" meant something like "being able to choose between 27 different flavors of ice cream", and not "having the material conditions of life allow for the pursuit of your own creative potential".]

Not sure got to feel when the hobby book says this should only take an hour but it took me 5 hours.

[gallusrostromegalus]

1. Hobby books are often written by the same people who think you can caramelize onions in 5 minutes

2. Hobby books are even more often written by people who don't have or are actively neglecting their partners/full-time jobs/pets/children/household maintenance.

3. Hobby books are often written by people with ADHD, and an hour in ADHD hyperspace is like 2-7 hours for everyone else, including other ADHD people who are not currently in the zone.

4. Hobby books are written by people who, when told by an editor to add in how long it will take, just make shit up

5. If you're doing something for the first time, you're going to take way, way longer to do it than someone who's had years of practice. Maybe it does only take an hour IF YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR TEN YEARS. Think about how long it took you to make idk your first excel spreadsheet vs how long it takes now

To actually answer your question: proud. You should feel proud, because you made something, AND you did so while learning a brand-new skill! Go you!!

May I ask what the Allegedly-One-Hour project was? Both because I like hearing about what my friends are doing and I want to see how wildly inaccurate the listed time scope is.

headcanon that a ferengi tradition is putting your new baby up for sale at a ridiculous price to show how valuable they are to you (everyone has to be polite and not actually buy them or hands will be thrown, people will be sued, etc etc)

[libraflyter]

I love the idea of Ferengi traditions that are both ha-ha capitalism but also create a functioning culture that’s more than a metaphor.

So, this is related to a headcanon I have. There's a kind of ritual sale of childhood goods as part of the Ferengi coming-of-age, which was featured in an episode of DS9. The ostensible purpose is to raise capital for the young Ferengi male. But, like, if the Ferengi were approaching this in their usual capitalistic mindset, you wouldn't really get much from what's basically a glorified garage sale

My headcanon is that it is the accepted practice to buy those goods at much higher prices than you would normally pay, serving as a culturally acceptable way of effectively giving financial support

[shiroikabocha]

Oh I love these, especially because of the spoken and unspoken meta-traditions around the tradition! Maybe they work similarly to the “speak now or forever hold your peace” thing in human marriage ceremonies. Everyone at a human wedding understands you’re not actually supposed to say anything at that point, it’s just a formality—but you see characters do it all the time in literature and entertainment, because it makes for such a juicy plot twist.

I bet “newborn gets purchased by evil jealous ex-business partner” is a classic plot hook in Ferengi soap operas. It’s their version of getting sold to One Direction.

Bruce: Alfred shared his location and now wants me to do the same.

Duke: Okay? What's the problem?

Bruce: I can't have him knowing I go to Chili's with the Justice League every Friday. He will know I'm cheating on his dinners.

Duke: Just leave your phone at work.

Bruce: I can't.

Bruce: I like to show them funny videos I found on the internet.

a lot of the posts i’m seeing on twitter show zero compassion either for mbj and delroy lindo being called a racial slur or for the reality that some symptoms of tourette’s are uncontrollable. both things can exist at the same time.

and yes it may be uncontrollable, but black americans still have the right to feel hurt by a word like that. it’s a strong word with a long, awful history.

also seeing so many accounts (probably burners) trying to fight ableism by being racist… how is that helping this case? and vice versa! some of the things i’ve seen said about this condition today is just plain disgusting

[indigohunter7]

forgot to say that bbc/bafta organisers should be held responsible they could’ve edited it out (they had TWO HOURS) and they chose not to

also want to add if you’re going to use the tourette’s/coprolalia tag to talk about this please be mindful of how you talk about the disorder it’s a real condition that affects the everyday life of people who have it and this is a safe space for them to talk about it
