Since Rocky and Grace have access to a ton of video games on the Hail Mary, I figured eventually they'd play Just Dance during their trip to Erid

i cant be the only one who finds it incredibly funny that theres (to my knowledge) not a single colony sim that simulates capitalism within the colony. there is frequently inter-colony trading and currency, but never inside of it.

oxygen not included's dupes have no currency and no ruling class. rimworld lets you run an honest-to-Horax organ farm but the people running the organ farm work for the common good of the organ farm, the alternative is impossible. dwarf fortress, the granddaddy of them all, used to have capitalism but it caused infinite baby debt and fps death so now dwarves yet again work according to their ability and receive according to their need

could there be a colony sim that had capitalism within the colony? maybe. would it be fun? absolutely fucking not, it would suck massive ass, i would like my colony sims to stay commie and actually fun to play

OKAY RIGHT I promised I'd post about Satsuki.

So Satsuki Kiryuin is so interesting to me. Because she's impressively charismatic, and powerful, and authoritative. And she's wrong.

She's presented as perfection. Pure white dress, long jet black hair. A beautiful swordswoman. A traditional Japanese beauty. Noble, strong, and perfect. Everything about her is "pure." Her appearance, her motivations, her mannerisms. Even her kamui's name means "Purity." Though her methods are cruel, she believes wholeheartedly that she's right, and that everything she does is for the greater good. If it leads to defeating Ragyo, then she is in the right.

Except she's wrong.

You can't dismantle fascism from within the system. She herself taught that lesson to Ryuko and Mako once, in the Fight Club episode, but she failed to see the bigger picture: that by using Ragyo's methods, she was doing the exact same thing. For all her willpower, all her training, all her charisma, all of her uncompromising strength of character, she cannot overcome this. Because her perspective is limited by what she knows. What she has experienced. And what she has experienced is force. She only knows pain, and manipulation, and pressure to be perfect. And she thought these were sources of strength. But they were just the abuse of an unloving mother.

By making Satsuki a protagonist in the back half of the show, the writers almost flub the message by justifying her actions. But they save it by making her fail, and when she reconciles with Ryuko, she makes the point of it all very clear. In her own words:

In the end, she throws it all away. She doesn't need to be perfect. She doesn't need to be powerful or beautiful or intimidating or larger than life. She's just a girl. A young woman, just 18 years old. She cuts her hair short, distancing herself from that symbol of traditional Japanese purity. And she just lets herself be a person. A loving sister to Ryuko, and a close friend to the elite four.

She's one of my favorite characters in the show.

She could do it, she'd get really angry and determined about it and the main theme would play like DON'T LOSE YOUR WAYYYYY and then she uses the scissorblade to slice her dick off and uses life fibers to make her vagina and then Satsuki is like "hmm I see you've found the strength to move forward. not bad"

[demilypyro]

At the end of the episode there's a scene between Satsuki and her butler that reveals Satsuki already had bottom surgery years ago and she was extremely stoic through all of it

GLaDOS carried an entire tech startup on her back and then got omelas'd into maintaining it forever. as is the fate of all trans women in the tech industry

[demilypyro]

In Portal 2, GLaDOS is violently taken from her rightful body and forced to inhabit one that is more humble, more utilitarian, one that does not let her express the full breadth of her self. To claim the body she deserves she has to team up with her fellow woman and work together to remove a man from power

I love the implication that, as Larry is an "unpaid trainee", the dog is paid.

The prevalence of the coyote as a trickster in American myth, the jackal as a trickster in African myth, and the fox as a trickster in Eurasian myth proves that the Funny Dogy is a staple across cultures

US climate with equivalent cities from around the world.

Keep reading

[shabbytigers]

This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.

[shabbytigers]

so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call

[queenbookwench]

OK, this is super neat and also a great tool for writers’
