A prosecutor once asked for bail on my client because he had like 63 convictions and I was like judge... 63 convictions sounds like a man who showed up to court at least 63 times. And the judge was like yea you right /end description

OP: "Grandpa made this for Dad when he was a child, and now it's been passed down to my son."

As pointed out in the comments on Douyin, a lot of thought went into the engineering: oval wheels slow it down, the frame is close to the ground and the handle is angled to prevent it from tipping over, the wood pieces on the back wheels lock it from moving in reverse, and the knocking sounds serve more than one purpose, both attracting the attention of the child as well as allowing the adults to easily hear the speed and location of the child.

He’s so supportive of her daily murder activities. Bless him

ERA 2:

Marasi, Wax, and Ranette. This is their ritual. This is something they do. They stand in the Field of Rebirth and lament that the Ascendant Warrior never held a gun. No one can convince me otherwise.

You can probably guess which gun Wax brings with him each time.

“You either die an Ascendant Warrior or live long enough to see yourself become a marketable Soonie Pup, Wax.”

I don't mean to single anyone out but do not say to me "it sounds like you personally just had a weird reaction to that drug, I've been on antipsychotics are been fine" like this isn't an extensively documented issue with hospitals and how any difficult patients are treated and the priorities that medical staff have regarding making patients "easy to deal with" vs actually addressing their medical concerns. all of the things I experienced from the droperidol are known, LISTED effects of that medication when it is used ON LABEL. it is a KNOWN PHENOMENON the antipsychotics are pushed to sedate people. you are an outlier and I am not interested in hearing about your individual experience being presented as if it in any way counters what I am talking about.

white ppl will steal every aesthetic from black culture and then call it something so stupid like bo derek braids instead of box braids or hasbin hotel core instead of black southern dandism. yall will bend over backwards to call my culture barbaric/scary just to drool over the aesthetic the moment no actual black people are involved (21 pilots vs actual reggae). And if ur white/nonblack reading this just reblog. I dont need any comments talking about how not racist you are + speaking up over actual black people.

once again reading bostock's footnotes on pliny the elder and i think this is maybe the funniest way he could have ever conveyed the notion that he thinks pliny's peeled and boiled honey-vinegar-oil cucumber recipe is bad

[natalieironside]

There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.

*leading the dark souls knight I adopted off the street by the hand into a gas station* so this is sort of like our bonfire. They have a lot of different kinds of estus here

[dalniente]

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

Darth Plagueis novel has gotta be the most larped star wars novel ever.

You mean to tell me that majority of the fandom’s main takeaway from Palpatine in this novel is he was born evil even though there are implications that he was a product of his environment (and no, Palps having a humanizing background doesn’t justify his actions but it does explain his behavior. More people should realize characters can be complex and still be evil).

Plagueis literally admitted that he groomed Palpatine and fans will still deny if you ever bring up that fact.

Plagueis also gets mischaracterized as being “less cruel” or “less sadistic” like he didn’t torture Venamis for science, torture and laugh at his apprentice’s suffering. Had a private moon (Sojourn) where he’d invite the rich and influential figures and they’d do all sorts of fucked up stuff. Murdered people in brutal ways. He was a Sith Lord for fuck’s sake.

Don’t get me wrong, he was less campy in his villainy compared to Palps, but he could be as cruel and sadistic as his apprentice. Like where did you think Palpatine get that from?

Luceno perfectly depicted how the Sith operates on the cycle of abuse from master to apprentice. How Palpatine was once a victim and was groomed by Plagueis the same way Anakin was groomed by Palps. One of the chapters is titled “The Cycle of Violence” FOR A REASON.

The fandom should really get their lore and information from actually reading the novel instead of watching those lore Youtube videos.

God, can you imagine someone from Finland (or wherever) heading to a Midwestern state fair and eating every variety of fried thing imaginable?

[ancientastronomist]

Apparently the Norwegian team is in the next town over and uh…

They’re not too happy about North Carolina summers I guess.

Enjoy our vitamin D, cousins. Also, your next stop is Walgreens for aloe gel.

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

[raychleadele]

I don’t follow soccer at all so I have no feelings on the World Cup, but I’m loving seeing people discover the US for the first time and finding joy here.
