the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"
"if you convince people that there's no difference between a blood thirsty dictator and a dedicated leader who is human and thus unable to solve every problem, the dictator wins."
Millions died of covid because Trump dismantled the international disease task force with some of the hardest hit areas being minority communities and Native American reservations.
Hundreds of thousands of people overseas now will die of aids because he dismantled the USAID.
None of that would’ve happened with Clinton or Kamala. Not voting because you think they’re the same or being tired of democrats being uninspiring is the White Person moment. Everyone alive in the US needs to humble themselves that they were privileged and lucky enough to survive Trump’s first term, because a lot of vulnerable people aren’t alive to say the same. Not participating doesn’t make you a sovereign citizen, it’s just avoiding responsibility for our out of control country so you don’t have to get a bad taste in your mouth.
i agree that spotify is garbage and you should use something else if you can but proposing apple music as an "ethical alternative" is so funny to me. the famously very ethical company apple.
i would love to hear about your ipods
oh boy oh gee!!!!! ipods are lovely gadgets!!!! they came in four main types: the classic line, the nano line, the shuffle line and the touch line, with two “mini” ipods being produced earlier in the product’s history. the classics were the larger ipods with more memory, the nanos and shuffles were smaller ipods meant to be as portable as possible, with the shuffles having the ridiculous gimmick of having no screen and only playing your entire library on shuffle, and the touches were really just iphones that couldn’t make calls.
the best ipods to buy at the moment would probably be the 5th gen classic (more often referred to as the ipod video), the 3rd gen nano and any of the minis, since these are all relatively easy to repair, and the former two have the lovely ability to play video! you can find classics for around a hundred bucks on ebay, but it’s common to find good deals on less popular secondhand sites (I got my ipod video for only 95 on shopgoodwill)
as for audio quality, the 5th and “7th” gen (really just a revised 6th) classics are considered to have the best quality, but all of them sound pretty alright to me 🤷♀️
you can find quality replacement parts at elite obsolete electronics’ website! they sell new aftermarket parts so you don’t need to track down probably faulty batteries from twenty years ago. im pretty sure they do free refunds if there’s any problems with your product too. they even sell brand new custom housings in a ton of colors.
lastly there’s a huge modding scene for ipods, some common mods include solid state storage and bluetooth capabilities, i don’t know too much about it but it’s definitely really cool and worth checking out!!!!
oh also. cnvmp3 and spotidownloader will get you all your music. sometimes they glitch out but it’s manageable, other than that they’re super quick and convenient
How would I put music onto the ipod? Am I able to just plug it into my PC and drag and drop files into it?
you can do simple drag and drop uploads if you mod it to have rockbox (different os than the apple one it comes with that lets you use custom themes and other neat stuff) but if you’re using the regular os you need to download itunes, make an account and upload your music into that first.
once you’ve got itunes set up, you’ll see an option labeled “file” on the toolbar near the top of the screen. Click that, then click “upload file” or “upload folder” if you already have your music organized into album folders or one catch-all music folder. then select all your songs and they’ll be in itunes :)
next is actually syncing your ipod. for this, you need the same 30-pin usb cable you use to charge your ipod. (or a regular apple lightning cable for the last few ipod touches and one or two late nano models. OR a firewire cable if you’re using a first gen, but i doubt that :P) just plug it into your computer while itunes is open and you should see a little ipod section appear in the sidebar menu. you may also see a window pop up showing the ipod’s file folders, but idk if that’s just bc of the mode mine is in. once this appears, select the songs in itunes and drag them over to the menu, then wait for them to sync and you’ll be done!
MAKE SURE YOU EJECT YOUR IPOD BEFORE DISCONNECTING IT, or you’ll damage its hard drive. the eject button can be found next to your ipod’s name on the sidebar, it’s an arrow with a line under it. if your ipod says do not disconnect, listen!!
if your ipod doesn’t show up in itunes after a few seconds, you can also restart it (hold the center and menu buttons until it turns off) and unplug it while it’s restarting, then try again.
oh also disc mode, you can turn that on to add other stuff to your ipod like short notes and photos. i use this to read my fanfics.
you and me baby we wear nothing but flannel
so let's do it like they do on the cw channel
why do ducklings travel in such an obviously chain-lightning-able formation? are they stupid?

I hate when girls who really wanna fuck men do their makeup so they look like overwatch cause men dont even wanna fuck women no more they only wanna fuck overwatch
Hey um quick question have you had sex
No because I'm an ugly smelly obese fat bald mixed race hairy moron woman with bad breath and a tooth gap and I'm really evil too and I hate penis and I hate vagina and I'm catholic and I waz lowkey attacked as a child so if I ever have sex I'm gona throw up and kill myself and others and also I'm broke as hell and really inconsiderate of others and cruel and unfunny and lame and I abuse animals and I gott a hunchback like an igor and two drastically different feeet sizes like whitey from 8 krazy nights, and my toenails are all pointy and ragged and I got a horroble foot fungus and diabetes and high blood pressure But I will be able to have Sex soon if they add an overwatch character who matches my description to a T and I can purchase and wear cheap scratchy ugly unironed bathing suit with creases in it designed off their outfit off amazon, and give myself big ass stupid eyes and blush and fake freckles and always be crossing my eyes and sticking my hairy white unbrushed cigarette tongue out ahegao style!
romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering
finding the strength to walk home from the library at 3am in the freezing rain by imagining yourself as a Napoleonic soldier hightailing it from Moscow in 1813
star trek explores these strange seemingly inconsequential extremes because it wants you to consider the possibility that your concept of ethics doesnt and could never possibly account for every scenario. It wants you to consider the ethical ramifications of just wiping out the little nanites taking over your ships computer even though eventually this will kill you all becuase
-What if they’re alive?
-What if they’re sentient?
-What if they don’t realize they’re hurting us?
-What if what hurts us is what they need to live?
-What if we can communicate with them?
Star Trek takes the situation of, “these computer bugs are eating our ship and in an hour we’ll all be dead and we COULD just wipe them out utterly but…what if they’re like us?” because the ramifications effect what risks we ourselves are willing to take in the name of pacifism and understanding. it says that even the smallest most immenently dangerous creature deserves as much of a chance to live peacefully as we can possibly give it through understanding.
without examining ourselves this way, through these made up seemingly inane situations, we will never be able to understand ourselves and what we’re truly capable of, what levels of understanding can be achieved. without the ability to place ourselves in a difficult situation and reach beyond our first instinct of fight or flight and self-preservation, we will never be evolve as a global community

#star trek does this because its the space talmud actually
this is unequivocally true. the rabbi at my childhood temple made it a point to bring a Star Trek scenario into every single d'var, and there was always something relevant!
Fascinated by the people who comment on online recipes like
"I tried making this vegetable dip! I didn't have mayo so I just used low fat yogurt instead, and we are doing keto so I replaced the sour cream with lard. My husband is deathly allergic to citrus fruit so to get the same tang I added vinegar instead of lime juice. I used pancake mix instead of garlic, and since I didn't have salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, parsley, or dill, I substituted with pumpkin spice and ground-up civet skull. My husband hated it :( I don't know what I did wrong."
Well ma'am, first of all, you made the Dip of Theseus.

Argentina (yellow) is keeping Chile (lavender) warm with its colossal ass
Did you ever look at the 1996 VW Harlequin Golf and bask in its joyful colour scheme and think, where's all the colour and whimsy gone in design? What do we lose when joy and individuality and personal expression get crushed away in favour of the most plain and broadly palatable decoration in a world solely focused on profits and resale value? Did you ever get inspired to grasp FUN AND WHIMSY and hold it tight to your chest, and perhaps paint your kitchen like that car and destroy the property value of your house?
anyway follow your dreams
Official joy and whimsy post
I bet there's at least one guy who uses a wheelchair who became a sneakerhead just for the laughs. Wearing pristine bright white brand shoes like "if you let your shoes touch the ground you're a bitch. If you keep them on display and never wear them, you're a coward. I'm the only one doing this correctly. Fuck you, get on my level."
a lot of you really need to internalize that acting avoidant isn't cute at all and that it will cost you experiences and life outcomes if you don't change course
