Remember that time Bowser was in a Disney movie and he was drinking coffee. This blew my mind and still doesn’t seem real. Look how small that styrofoam cup is in his massive claw. This just proves that Bowser has a gentle grip or else that cup would just crumple.

I want all of you to know that Nintendo was super anal about this scene

They specified everything browser does in this scene. Including the way he holds his coffee cup in his hands

[lakilester]

thanks for the f slur jackass

I’ve let this sit in my inbox for years and I just want everyone to know I think it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever received. I still don’t know if it’s fuck or faggot and I don’t care either way

I wasn’t positive that this was true but I found a few local Baltimore sources and this one from New York Times.

i keep thinking about how the pharmacies in south minneapolis keep getting robbed for NOTHING

[simonbitdiddle]

Yeah, it seemed rather odd that the places that burned had pharmacies… Target, Cub Foods, Walgreens…

Entranced with how they photoshopped these dude’s heads onto the same body for these dumb posters

there's two types of conspiracy theories in american culture:

blatant antisemitism

not actually a conspiracy theory the cia really admitted to doing this in declassified documents that are publicly available but the average american is so brainwashed by nationalist fervor that they refuse to believe it and call it a conspiracy even though, and i cannot stress this enough, the government literally admits to doing it

why none of them got into The Good Place

[exigencelost]

What I love about this is its acknowledgment that Jason had no intentions at all

[egyptiann]

this is all 100% true but it always made me really mad that Chidi’s “crime” was having a severe anxiety disorder like he needed understanding and therapy, sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up

[thedreadvampy]

I feel like a less-surface theme of the show is that they’re all in a situation where they have been forced into bad patterns by forces outside their control - Chidi has SEVERE anxiety; Eleanor was forced by abuse and neglect to adopt a self-centered attitude from early childhood and, like many people with traumatic pasts, responds by not dealing with difficult emotions; Jason was very overtly raised in an environment where he got no education and all his models for behaviour were criminal and/or self-destructive; and Tahani has been raised in an environment where everything is performative and she is shot down for any genuine expression of unhappiness or non-material want. Just as Michael and Janet are made one way but changed by their experiences, the moral of the story is that things outside your control shape you but you can move away from them. That could easily be really insulting, in a sort of ‘just get over it’ way, but the idea isn’t that they change solely because they decide to be better - all six of them change because their circumstances change and give them the OPPORTUNITY to be better, because they’re finally given the support system they lack.

I like The Good Place because the whole show has since day 1 been predicated on the idea that black and white moral judgements made in a vacuum are bullshit, and that moral choices are informed by things outside our control, whether that be education, behaviour modelling, unfair treatment or mental health issues. That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for our actions but it DOES mean we have to understand morality in the context of people’s varied experiences AND asks for the possibility that if their environment is improved, their ability to function as moral agents also improves.
