I don’t watch Once Upon A Time but every clip I’ve seen is like

Quasimodo: “And where is the amulet?” Edgar from Aristocats: “Safe and sound I assure you. Isn’t that right, Lightning McQueen?” *the sounds of revving comes out of the shadows*

drives me crazy how normalized it is to idolize the muslim brotherhood. finding out someone spends their time online stanning the houthis should be as cringe as finding out they run a fanblog for the columbine shooters. it should be social suicide to openly admire terrorists like that

The secret that evades a lot of folks is that bad people can be opposed to each other. "America Bad" does not inherently imply "opposes America good".

This is too complex an idea for far too many people, alas.

William Christopher playing a murderer goes so crazy……

I'm not saying I dislike the "having to wait for and earn the captaincy" storyline. There's obviously a lot of really interesting stories there and great character beats that have resulted in some of my favorite Trek characters. But there is an extremely noticeable pattern in which show leads need character development to move up the ranks

And who is presented as inherently qualified from the beginning

And before anyone mentions her, yes, I know we have Captain Freeman, but she's not the lead of her show

Everytime this post gets a note I remember the person that accused me of putting Kirk on here "three times to make it look like a bigger issue." First of all, it would still be an issue even if I did only use one Kirk, though I do think tos and aos Kirk are different enough characters with different enough storylines to both be included. Second of all. Pike is such a cardboard cutout of a man people don't even recognize him as his own character, and that's hilarious to me personally

Amazing site.

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

Hey, so anybody wanna talk about that scene in DBIP where Bashir’s mom is touching his shoulder and he immediately flinches away from her when he realizes she’s touching him

He knew her affection was superficial and wanted nothing to do with it.
