Reality shifting guide from a man in the 80s
This is mostly for me, my lazy ass keeps procrastinating opening the document, so I put this here because I open tumblr so much and the pictures are easier to read this way
This is from mastery of time space transposing by Arlinski, i really recommend it for shifting :)

there's a trope, common among other genres in superhero fiction, where a lone scientist or a corporation or such manage to come up with an invention that is way outside the usual tech level of their setting, and continues to be way outside the tech level. only one entity can make the super serum or mind control chip or laser gun or whatever. they don't mass produce it and nobody else independently discovers it, it's a thing they can do, not a thing their society can do.
and the thing that tickles at my brain is, it'd be interesting as a worldbuilding premise to keep the huge leaps in capabilities done by individual actors but get rid of the lack of replicability. start with a world like ours and say, ok, we're on the cusp of the mad science revolution, people are starting to come up with all sorts of previously-impossible technology, but once invented it's out there. every military has to adapt their doctrine to super soldier serum and laser guns. there's a cure for cancer and the protocol has to account for the one in a twenty chance it'll turn you into a werewolf. your neighbour moves in and she's made of metal and you're not sure if it's a full-body prosthetic or if in the last month when you stopped keeping up with the robotics news they made robots who are people. and it's definitely rude to ask. teleportation halfway across the planet is not cheap but like neither are planes and it does have a lower carbon footprint.
and like, it's not surprising why this doesn't happen by default, right. 'what would one guy being able to teleport mean in a world like ours' is a completely different kind of question to think about than 'how does teleportation reshape society, after accounting for the six other ways society has been reshaped in the past year'. it'd be hard to write. but it would be fun.

Beautiful, you don’t HAVE to forgive them. You just can’t ridicule them after leaving for being “tainted” or “evil” or whatever the acceptable word is now. Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.
“But they should’ve known sooner” and we should’ve known sooner that Destiel was never gonna meaningfully happen outside of queerbaiting, what’s your point?
“I never want them near me” that’s fine, but you do realize to insult them, YOU have to get near THEM, right? Wouldn’t it be more conducive to what you want to just leave each other alone?
“What if one of them tries to approach me?” Then you block them online, or you keep the conversation clinical and polite irl. You do NOT take time out of your day to berate them for their old views. Your mother raised you better than that.
Preserving these tags, they're very correct
I would reblog this one million times if I could
As a matter of fact you can!
This is fundamentally how cults WORK, btw
Villainize outsiders, which can look different depending on the cult, make everything an us vs them situation. And then when those outsiders show themselves to be hostile (doesn't matter why) the cult is proven right all along on one of their foundational messages

can anyone tell me the watch order for every movie ever so i can understand all references and homages
@dionrevel PLEASE share the link.
Lol sure!!
For movies, here is the beginner's list:
Beginner's guide for getting in the loop.
And the more advanced list:
Advanced guide to getting in the loop. Supplementary to "Civilization Essentials." If a movie is on this list, then it has one of these: -Po
Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.
^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.
[I actually do have a job, I am just a big fan of lists and graphs and flow charts etc.]
Oh, this is the film subset of cultural literacy. All the references that make their way into our lives so well, they eventually become divorced from their original source. For everyone who's interested in this, there's this really great book.

And as a pdf.
Basically, it's a collection of common American references with brief explanations of what they mean and where they're from. It was invaluable to me in the pre-internet days.
Actually, at this point the book may be more useful for what it deemed "common knowledge" at time of publication than for any direct information it provided.
