Excuse me, what
first of all none of us could afford hannibal’s therapy
unaired episode where hannibal accepts medicaid
Hannibal is independently wealthy and deeply invested in fucking with people who are interesting enough. Show up with a good story about how you are trying very hard to not give in to the urge to make tiny statues out of people's teeth and he'll see you for free.
Lmaoo
It's disrespectful
the reason why sun tzu is culturally significant isn’t because he wrote a book about war, it’s cause his philosophy applies to things outside of war too, to peoples’ everyday lives and ways of conduct, and is why the art of war is still relevant and read today by all kinds of people, and why it’s been studied a lot. it’s not just about war, it’s about perspective to handling the issues of everyday life
for example, a lot of people on tumblr could learn to not pick needless and unwinnable battles by engaging in bad faith discourse on social media
OP is applying the principle of “appear weak when you are strong” by rolling up to the topic with good opinions but also having the username “yandere clown”

I love that we're still learning shit about this world we're in. Spiders sing? Fish chirp and enjoy tummy rubs? Trees feed each other? Mushrooms can talk. Rats giggle. Crows play games. If you leave a hamster wheel in the woods, mice will run in it. And despite all focus on the contrary, if you leave a handful of human beings alone with the opportunity to do good and be kind, they will. I love this Fucking planet so damn much
genuinely cant stop thinking about whatever early human first looked a literal wolf full in the face and thought domestication would be fun but ALSO cant stop thinking about the ENTIRE early human tribe that absolutely did NOT think to stop them
HOLD THE PHONE
Slightly related: I read a book by Rick McIntyre, who was official Wolf Guy at Yellowstone Park for 25 years (and studied wolves for 40 yrs total). He describes how, when they’re alone, wolves—both adults and pups—will pick up sticks or bones or bits of animal skin and toss them around to entertain themselves, the way you might toss a ball up and down. They essentially play catch by themselves.
So if wolves do this by themselves, in nature, that means that we saw them playing this game and thought “huh, that wolf enjoys fetching the stick it’s throwing for itself, maybe I could throw it further and it would like that more?” And thus began our two species’ mutual favourite game to play together
But the point is that they invented fetch
horror story in which the narrator has a breakdown over the unspeakable otherworldly evil they witnessed but the reader slowly realizes they just saw a porcupine or something and didn’t know what it was

In Shrek 2, the king tells his wife that he has an "old crusade wound acting up" implying the existence of both the catholic church and islam in the shrek universe
Well that can be disproven given that a crusade can technically be any religion. There may be a religion in the Shrek universe that has the same righteous entitlement as the Catholic Church, but there is no proof that the Catholic Church actually exists.
The word "crusade" comes from the French "croisée" which means "to be marked by the Cross", the most important symbol in Christendom. Now we could perhaps entertain the possibility that there is another, different religion in the Shrek universe that considers the cross to be a holy symbol, but the evidence for the existence of Catholicism in Shrek 2 does not stop there.
Later in the movie, Puss states that he was once the most renowned thief in Santiago de Compostela. This is a city in Spain named after St. James (Santo Iago) and contains the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Catholicism since the early Middle Ages.
Ah yes, because being married IN A CHURCH BY A BISHOP in no way shows Catholicism existing in the Shrek universe, and we have to rely on where Puss in Boots was stealing from.
Gee.
It might be a mystery forever if there’s Catholicism in the Shrek universe.
Excuse me, that scene does not take place within Shrek 2, and thus arguably doesn’t count for the purposes of proving the existence of Catholicism within Shrek 2.
Oh, I'm so terribly sorry to have cited ORIGINAL SHREK to prove the existence of Catholicism within Shrek 2, which takes place ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS after the first movie.
real proud of Shrek for destroying the catholic church in just a few weeks
liking a character but lacking the brainpower to have any real coherent thought or clever analysis of them so your brain just kind of says their name over and over like a teen girl in a cheesy romance writing her crushes name over and over in glittery gel pen surrounded by hearts

ty for stealing this one much appreciated
people in the notes suggesting it was "improper" for the juror to do this or that it "introduced bias" to the court proceeding 🙄 the ice agent in question accused a moc of assaulting him / resisting arrest. how is the agent being a white supremacist not relevant. what universe are you living in
A juror was held in criminal contempt and fined more than $11k for researching his case online. The man, named as Stephen Miele, told other
As a member of the world’s SECOND oldest profession, I assure you this is just one of many ways the justice system is systematically fucked up.
For anyone who wants to know how to fact check something you are told while on jury duty without getting fined:
First, you need to understand that the rule that jurors can’t just google things is coming from a good place. Like imagine that you are on a jury that’s considering, say, a medical malpractice lawsuit and one of your fellow jurors comes into the jury room and says to you, “I think the victim’s expert was lying because WebMD totally contradicts everything they said.”
And you might be like, “But WebMD is notoriously unreliable website and the expert you’re talking about is a researcher from Mayo Clinic.” But this person cannot be swayed.
Like, we can all agree that would be bad.
So even though these rules can contribute to unjust outcomes as in the case above (and seriously, the fact that the defense attorney didn’t fact check that is probably grounds for legal malpractice), they also prevent jurors from just looking up bullshit online and taking it more seriously than the actual experts the court has put on. And I think in the era of anti-vaxxers/QAnon/COVID denial/etc., we can all understand why it’s a bad idea to trust that people can tell fact from bullshit online.
So in light of this, how do you as a juror fact check something?
The key here is that you have to ask the court for information. Jurors can ask questions of the court during deliberations, so if something you said sounds off to you, you can ask for more information.
The key term you want to use here is “credibility.”
The job of a jury is to decide what are called “questions of fact.” Long before the trial even starts, lawyers will have hashed out all the “questions of law” --- like, what the statute of limitations is; what laws, exactly, were allegedly broken; whether the court you’re in even has jurisdiction; stuff like that. Jurors are responsible for deciding which side’s version of the facts has more credibility.
For instance, if the prosecution’s witness says X and the defense’s witness says Y, the jury is responsible for deciding which is true, X or Y. And you do this by weighing which one is more credible.
So in this case, if the juror had known to, he could have told the judge, “In order to properly assess the ICE agent’s credibility, I need more information about his tattoo. I have doubts about whether he was telling the truth about it, which would impact how credible I would find his testimony. Can the agent please provide evidence that it really is what he says it is?”
There are a lot of problems with our legal system, and I think one of the biggest is that jurors aren’t educated about what they can and can’t do. Juries have a lot of power, if (and only if) they know how to use it.
Reblogging for that last post, because frankly, “what to do as a juror” is one of those things the schools should really be teaching us. Serving on a jury is one of the most powerful rights of citizenship and everyone should be educated in how to exercise it correctly.

highly recommend the anarchychess subreddit especially lately
I’ve been watching this game for a month now and at one point the comments voted to have op, local anarchychess celebrity and broke college student who doesn’t even own his own board (the one in the picture is his roommate’s), buy a chess clock on Amazon as a full in-game move, and then when he posted that he got it the comments section immediately voted to send it back. there was an elaborate fanfiction between two of the knights that established an ongoing relationship as a full in-game turn, the king is hanging upside down because he got banished into another dimension, one of the pieces got COVID and had to go into isolation with all the pieces around it at the time, and at one point they annexed a pop tart from a box they saw in the background for part of the board. like this looks like so much chaos that it’s hard to believe there ever was an order here but this was, in fact, a slow calculated destruction and from what I understand, op is going to 100 moves, or at least the comments section is insisting on it
