another funny subplot of this season is the question “does any rider actually know the rules to this sport that they’ve devoted their lives to” and the resounding answer seems to be “well some of them are learning”

Pedro having 22 crashes, now one more than Marc... Baby shark that's not what we meant when we said we want you leading the stats
what could be the saving grace of this season is if we would have a proper fight between the top 2 but we don't even have that. instead we have riders riding in the place they're supposed to be based on the machine they're on. and when we do have a great rider overperforming it's never enough
PEDRO NOOOOOOO
A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.
If the solution to your problems sounds like “we need a blank slate” it’s a lie. There are no blank slates, and the closest approximation people can generally imagine is “burn it all down and let God/fate/history sort it out”.
That’s not problem solving. It’s barely catharsis, in practice. It doesn’t just create more problems than it solves, it destroys more solutions than it creates.
Put the apocalypse down, and back away slowly.
Real solutions to complex, systemic problems are not so easily reduced to “us good, them evil; kill them.”

Voting as Fire Extinguisher
When the haunted house catches fire: a moment of indecision.
The house was, after all, built on bones, and blood, and bad intentions.
Everyone who enters the house feels that overwhelming dread, the evil that perhaps only fire can purge.
It’s tempting to just let it burn.
And then I remember:
there are children inside.

chums i have been attacked
I made the mistake of searching "rings of power" on Tumblr because I wanted to find some cool gif/artsy stuff but I regret it so much.
Wtf is going on? All I found is hate and people having huge meltdowns and being spiteful and I can't believe it.
I understand that not everyone likes it, as I understand that people want to share their opinion but there is a different between writing
"it's not my cup of tea, and here's my reasons, but if you want to keep watching you do you!"
And
"everything is shit, and the people of colour are disgusting revisionism and I don't want it, and here's why everything sucks and you should not watch it. We have to boycott it and ruin it for those who like it. And don't forget to spread the hate to those who worked on it".
I mean when did this fandom abandon reason for madness? I feel so freaking sad right now it's unbelievable.
It’s a fanfic. A really expensive fanfic which completely rewrites things like how Mordor even came to exist.
If you like fanfic, that’s great, but no one else has to.
I never said that one has to like it, I'm just saying that people do not have to watch it if they don't like it. There is no need to be mean to the people who like it and to the people who worked in it.
Hello, everyone, This fundraiser is for my cat Cleo. She was hit 48 … Elia Colalongo needs your support for Help Cleo to survive - Aiuta C
I never ask for money, but this is important and time sensitive. This lovely kitten was hit by a speeding car outside of my friend's house. She is the sweetest cat and needs surgery but he is a student (does not have enough money) and we are trying to help him raise enough to operate her. Please, please, please help us even with the smallest donation.
If you can't donate please share, as I said it is time sensitive stuff, it will be much appreciated!

Hmm, I don't think it is as you say it is. Never saw it put in such extreme terms so Im calling BS on this. More like they just voice their opinion and they have a right to. Also, if any of you happens to mention it's supposedly great I can easily imagine why they would be challanged about this. They're literally butchering the lore and well established characters of a famous father of all fantasy to a highest degree ever seen on TV (almost), for shabby reasons and written by crappy storytellers, it's not your everyday cartoon that some people just happened to dislike. You're just here to enjoy gifs and not OK because you witnessed some of that willing to stay in your echo chamber... I mean, when will you finally understand the gravity of the situation. People who enjoy watching it can do that, for whatever reason you doing that, but - if you really believe we're wrong and unfair - write an essay about it and all its qualities deserving of praise, for a change, or prove how it's writing isn't motivated by ideological agenda and irl world which it clearly is at the expense of everything else in.it. Otherwise don't preach about the fandom, just enjoy the show and keep in mind that maybe there is something wrong in it if so many fans just can't take it
You know the feed changes daily? I just wrote what I saw in that particular moment, I was not preaching.
The work of the famous father of fantasy is still there and it's not being erased. If one prefers it, one can still enjoy it.
"it's not your everyday cartoon that some people just happen to dislike" see this is what I talk about, it's like there is a need to shit on things just to validate what you feel/like. Remember that even a everyday cartoon can mean the world to someone. Remember that there was a time when "the Hobbit" was just a book, imagine how would you feel reading someone dismissing it like that.
"WhEn WiLl YoU fInAlLy UnDeRsTaNd ThE gRaViTy Of ThE sItUaTiOn?"
Don't you think that's a bit dramatic? It's just a show. It's just a fucking show. A show made on the basis of something we love, but still it's just a show. And someone may hate me for what I'm about to write but the books are just books. I read them, I love them. I know what is canon and what is not. But i understand that books, movies, fan fiction and TV shows are different media made from different people. I can enjoy them anyway as separate adaptation of the same in-universe story.
And for the part about butchering the lore: as I said I read the books. One of the things Tolkien goes on and on about is how different people and different races should be united and fight evil and bad together.
Numenor wants to prevail among others and goes bad? Numenor falls.
Elfs are too proud? Elfs have lots of problems. People are not united? They are weak. Everyone gets together regardless of gender/race? Evil is defeated.
Yeah sure I'm pretending I'm a ten year old who reads only the first layer of the story, but still, this stuff is all there. Do not pretend that Tolkien is this sacred untouchable monster If you ignore one of the first thing that comes across in his writing. Or do you think Tolkien didn't have his "ideological agenda" when writing? Because maybe one should read again.
I don't want to write essays because I'm not here to convince anyone to like it! I will enjoy it, someone else will not. But I will never accept the argument that if a lot of people like/dislike something they are right because there is so many of them. Majorities are not always right because of their numbers.
Everyone if free to enjoy or not, but shitstorms and racist comments to supposedly annoy people who worked on it (or people who like it) are not something to excuse.

It's still so wild to me that people see something they don't vibe with, and instead of saying to themselves. This isn't for me I'm just not gonna watch it. They actively tell others not to watch it also, turning their irrational hatred into their day job, and coming up with bullshit reasons as to why they shouldn't watch said piece of media. And then, after refusing to watch said thing, still go onto review sites and review bomb it so that it looks like it is failing. Then laugh about it on their social media like they accomplished something. How sad is your life? That this is the joy you get? Just ignore the shit you don't like and leave the enjoyment to others who do.
