Still LOVE this outfit
the party of law and order who is tonsil deep on the cock and balls of palantir and flock who claims every foreign born person on US soil commits 100 crimes a day and should be put in a concentration camp for jaywalking is very upset about being surveilled and ticketed while committing crimes on a foreign nation's land. because as we know if the government owns the cameras that's communism but if a private company ran by a pedophilic vampire billionaire owns the cameras, that's actually democracy.

I love this video... going to put it under the read more because it sucks (cw misogyny, racism, unfunny 'comedy' question mark). probably don't bother actually watching unless you want the full experience. But it's amazing. The woman in the audience doesn't say a single word and the comedian just unravels. Her silence becomes increasingly unnerving to him; he starts making up things he imagines she would want to say to him, rambles about how even her friend is trying not to laugh (cut to her friend's expression which is just tired annoyance), spirals into a rant about how she wants to take away his freedom of speech and would freeze his bank account if she could, eventually fantasizing about her getting gangraped (with some extra racism thrown in there). It's art. She's so powerful. Why did he post this himself.
People in the comments trying to convince themselves that actually the audience wasn't laughing with him, there was slightly less volume over time, the cheering at the end didn't happen- all need to face reality and understand what the national character of Canadians is.
This man is a moderate by the standards of Ford voters.

Very happy about being able to mod Smash Bros to replace the random button with Iris
Therefore, now the random option is for her to turn into whoever the other character is
Aura
The Soul is a blueprint for all phenomena 元魂生万象
Thus, by realizing the light of one's own Soul, they may exert its influence on their own physical body and their surroundings. The power of the Soul manifests through Aura, Techniques and Dust use, and Semblances, corresponding to a person's ID, EGO, and SuperEGO respectively.
ID- Irreducible Distance 不可化之隔
The barrier which separates the Self (理) from the World (万理). An Aura barrier encapsulates an ontologically isolated domain where the light of the Soul enforces the Soul's conception of its Self against foreign influence.
Most well understood is the Aura barrier's ability to shield the user from external damage and to accelerate the user's recovery from damage or illness of all forms, but that notion of the Irreducible Distance is also what makes it nearly impossible for most abilities to be able to manipulate a user directly- so long as the barrier is manifested, a telekinetic would have no ability to pinch a Huntsman's blood vessels shut, having to resort to hurling objects at them, or perhaps hurling them directly with sufficient power.
Even most forms of magic cannot cross the Irreducible Distance- the Soul itself a non-replicable pattern (理) pulled from an infinitely complex magical baseline of existence (万理). A magic of the same complexity capable of invading the ID would be required- typically an innate magic of another Self, such as the SuperEGO
EGO- Emergent Gestalt Ontology 显生之我
The interface between the Self and World. Through the acquisition of language and experience as a person grows, they gain the ability to internalize the external World, giving rise to an inner subjective world within their Self.
This interface is what enables communication- like rational thought and language enables the communication of ideas between individuals, the information and logical systems encoded into the EGO create the means for the Self to communicate with the World via their Aura, through the activation of Dust, techniques, and a super power unique to the EGO- hence, "Super-EGO"
SuperEGO/Super-EGO 显化之我
The "Super Power" that emerges to define the Self, with a range of potential ability encompassed within their ID, defined by the unique magical composition of their Soul; but with the actual form it takes influenced by the user's character and journey throughout life, hence EGO- emergent gestalt ontology.
For example, their ID's composition may have meant a certain individual would always develop a shapeshifting semblance, but whether that is copycat shapeshifting or biokinesis is caused by how the ID is filtered by the EGO \\ (Note: the use of shapeshifting as an example is somewhat misleading, as usually the range of possibility allowed for by their soul's patchwork composition is far more eclectic)
While most humans of the current era have lost the World's power and thus magic, the Self is capable of the same abilities- oft times limited in scale due to the limited reach of the Self's inner subjective World, but with no true restriction on what the ability may be any more than restrictions exist on full magic.
This has not stopped many attempts to create rules for what Semblances can and cannot be, for there is a typical range that Semblance abilities rarely stray from corresponding to the common sense of the modern man.
Conversely, every list of rules has always included one final rule: 'every Semblance may break one rule, including this one'. After all, it is impossible for any singular description to encapsulate the entirety of the human (or Faunus) experience
PTSD- Pneuma-Transcoding Semblance Distortion 灵失真
A rare event, caused by a drastic* change in a person's character and outlook, to a degree that their existing sense of their EGO is overwritten. After recovery, the user's Semblance will become fundamentally changed, and often unrecognizable to its previous form due to the eclectic range of possible ability held within their ID *Typically in response to sustained trauma, but even then trauma sufficient to cause a Semblance distortion is exceptionally rare- as the change in the person must be sufficient to rewrite the surface of their soul
This article and its opening paragraph is kind of a perfect summary of how it feels to be a Chinese person living in the west
we should bring back she/her as the generic pronoun
im not joking btw im talking about how it used to be pretty common for communist writers to use she/her to refer to a generic worker/person/etc as a #feminist thing. it's more common to use gender-neutral language now but the problem is people are still constantly assuming that the default person is male, even when non-gendered language is used. she/her at least has the effect on the reader of like, giving them a stern look and saying "remember women exist". anyway i want us to bring this back
and before anyone gets silly, no it's not misgendering people who don't use she/her, unless you believe all the cis male writers who did/do this also believe that Everyone On Earth Is A Woman. it's a political writing choice
I'm the anon who asked you about Cinder over the weekend. I realize that in my ask I forgot to tell you what they did with Cinder in RWBY. In canon her sole motivation is power for power's sake. She is a victim of abuse (which is why, despite everything she's done, I can't help but feel sympathy for her) at the hands of her adoptive mother from Atlas who she snapped and killed in self-defense as well as Salem. She isn't a mother and so far she has no redeeming qualities. How different is that from the Cinder you discussed in 2014?
When we were discussing Pyrrha’s fate and how Cinder came into play, he decided he wanted her to be, “misunderstood,” by the audience. There was a whole side story where she hunted and killed the previous Fall Maiden at the temple in order to steal her powers, furthering the assumption she was acting out of malicious and selfish intent. Because she did not inherit the powers properly (intentions of the previous avatar) she feared Pyrrha being capable of taking them back from her as the true successor.
She was intended as a red herring who was tricked into believing a half truth in order to manipulate her into a puppet being controlled from the shadows. While she had blood on her hands, she carried that burden of guilt by believing she was acting out a necessary evil, similar to Lelouch from Code Geass.
Ashe had been under the impression that the rise of the Maidens would lead the world to calamity, so it became her goal to harvest the avatars’ powers in order to destroy them with herself as the sole vessel. When she learns the truth of how she was tricked, she sacrifices herself to help the girls and restore their Maiden powers in a final effort to overcome the true affliction on the planet.
While the world would remember her atrocities, a small handful would hold her as a hero in their hearts.
I completely forgot a very vital piece about this character, so here's some notes straight from Monty:
also while i’m ranting about gender i always see debate about whether girls are rewarded for being tomboys or not and it’s like. actually girls are rewarded for mirroring whatever the situation demands of them. girls can’t be too prissy and refuse to play in the creek, but girls also can’t show up to girly events covered in mud. girls can’t have makeup art as a hobby or else they’re superficial, but if they never wear makeup they’re a slob and dumpy, etc. it’s not that girls are universally rewarded or punished for being tomboys, they’re rewarded for bending over backwards to always be exactly right for any given situation and punished for breaking those boundaries. so yes a classically pretty girl who cleans up nice is rewarded when she can ALSO be a tomboy. but a girl who is a tomboy all the time is definitely punished for never being able to achieve that prerequisite feminine side. this debate is over now thanks
this is spot on. A woman's masculinity is rewarded as long as it doesn't conflict with being heteronormatively attractive and as long as the masculinity plays harmonising second fiddle to the masculinity of the men around her.
I love the composition of this page
