My instant block policy has officially evolved to include making arguments we’ve all heard a billion times that have counter arguments we’ve all heard a billion times. If you’re boring, you are not worth my time, and you’re getting blocked
Oh I wonder why a Jewish person would be part of a Zionist organization in 1945. /sarcasm
Are these people really that fucking stupid ?!
it really doesn’t matter where someone is from, as we’ve seen/heard similar comments from people of varying races and nationalities all over the world - if someone’s reaction to meeting Jewish people is to say that “Hitler should have finished the job,” they shouldn’t pretend to be concerned about humanitarian issues anywhere. they are the Nazi. they are the one with genocidal desires. they might as well own it.
they should make you taller
I hit my head on doorframes enough as it is.
(You'd think being scarcely over six feet tall wouldn't make that a major concern, but it turns out that a surprising number of houses constructed prior to 1980 were made for hobbits.)
The worst are the surprisingly common houses where the doorframes in the basements are exactly six feet high. I don't even properly bonk my head there – if I forget to duck, the top of my scalp just sort scrrraaapes the trim and it's actually the worst sensation in the world.
1.8 metres!? Who the fuck builds their doors this short
A lot of shitty contractors back before basement doors were subject to the same mandatory minimum dimensions as doors on main floors, and also Frank Lloyd Wright for some reason.
One of my favourite things in urban fantasy literature is when an author clearly likes the idea of wizard boarding school drama, but wants to avoid getting any Harry Potter stink on them and tries to accomplish that by simply bluntly inverting all the stuff they regard as problematic, and in so doing independently reinvents the X-Men.
Personally I’ll be impressed when someone reinvents a Wizard of Earthsea from first principles

For those asking how that works:
secret wizards control the government > [wizard equivalent] are an oppressed visible minority
white British monoculture > Star Trek style multicultural pluralism that treats "being Black" and "being an elf" as basically interchangeable
Beyond that, it depends on which specific X-team they end up unwittingly re-creating.
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, our records indicate that you have a prior history.
Soulslike where as you complete various objectives it gradually becomes clear that your camp is accumulating conspicuously barefoot level up maidens.
Each has her own distinct advancement paradigm which would offer some truly disgusting cross-class builds, except how well they synergise depends on their relationship levels with each other rather than with you. Advanced buildcraft thus obliges you to play level up maiden matchmaker.
Each level up maiden also functions as the primary equipment vendor for her advancement paradigm's respective "class"; you begin to suspect that at least some of them are slanting the upgrades they offer in order to encourage you to put on specific clothing.
you know it's actually weirder that Fromsoft hasn't released this exact game yet.
Hidetaka Miyazaki isn't the right kind of pervert.
The concept of himejoshi fromsoft enthralls me. How many kinds of barefoot level up maiden can you really have in a game? Like logistically there has to be some kind of diminishing returns before you have to start inventing mechanics
(With reference to this post here.)
Conveniently, the optimal numbers for mechanical synergy fuckery and matchmaking drama fuckery both line up at exactly five.
#care to share sources or reasoning? #less doubting more I would like to understand (via @dragoninthelabratory)
From a mechanical synergy fuckery standpoint, three archetypes almost always falls into a facile rock-paper-scissors arrangement, and it's surprisingly difficult to prevent four from decomposing into a pair of dyads. Five is the smallest number that reliably allows things to get interesting in potentially non-obvious ways.
From a matchmaking drama fuckery standpoint, there's a fairly hard cognitive limit on how many pairings your average player will be able to keep in their head before some relationships start to get short shrift simply because the player forgets they exist. Assuming all possible pairings are valid in some circumstance, five candidates produces a relationship graph with ten edges, which is very close to that limit.
Funnily enough, the former lower bound and the latter upper bound just happen to be the same number.
Tagging every drawing where an artist depicts two of their own OCs fucking as #selfcest on the basis that some theorists argue that all of the characters we create are in at least some respect a picture of the self, so, you know, ontologically

Knocking on various doors until various devils answer is what we do here.
Canadian bilingual packaging is fun because you get to see how various slightly odd idioms end up being translated by people who don't give a shit. I just saw a tub of double chocolate chip ice cream where the English label says "death by chocolate", but the French translates literally as "chocolate until death", which has a somewhat different vibe.
#there are so many cases i see when the english packaging has a pun for a tagline #and then the french is just a poor translation EVEN THOUGH an equivalent pun can be made (via @souplover13)
Occasionally it's the other way 'round, though, and the French is clearly the original pun. There's a brand of cheese sticks at the local co-op where the English tagline on the packaging is "cheesetastic!", but the French is "fromidable", which is so much better it's faintly offensive.

Worldbuilding exercise #137: imagining how answers regarding mildly obscure trivia about your setting's culture, geopolitics, and history would be phrased on a hypothetical episode of Celebrity Jeopardy (which for the purpose of this exercise exists in that world in precisely the same form as it does in ours).
that blog is so weird already but calling a real life region where real life people live “elf-coded” is????? what the fuck is wrong w people 😭😭😭
Because theyre cool elf ppl the things that they had to do during their war of independence are totally fine and acceptable though unlike (((those people))) who are NOT cool elf ppl
someone's gotta do something about those inbred settlers in the WB 🙄 it's time for כוח אכיפה בינלאומי to take over
The army should just shoot them like they do Other EthnicitiesTM when they act up. That wouldve solved everything
Is the UN antisemitic for insisting that refugees should be allowed to right of return?
No, they are antisemitic for decades of ignoring attacks on Israeli civilians , being extremely biased and literally supporting terrorists . And i think you know that… do a google search or I don’t know, listen to Jews.
Anyways, Here are a few reasons:
-calling out Israel more than any other country, while there are countries in their board that are actual dictatorships with apartheid & genocide .
They’re fixated on Israel.
-only holding Israel for agreements made while ignoring the fact that other parties have been violating the terms (aka harming Israeli civilians, amassing an army& weapons , moving past certain borders, etc).
*Aka what’s happening with Hezbollah& Hamas over the last 20 years ,,,
-ignoring the events of October 7th for almost a year: kidnapping of civilians, mass murder and torture , women being raped as a weapon of war , etc.
The UN has a long history of being antisemitic and anti- Israel.
—
Instead of actually helping Palestinian refugees, the UN donated money and resources to literal terrorists. It perpetuates the narrative that they are refugees instead of actually resolving the issue.
Hell they let a terrorist organisation control the Gaza Strip for years. Said terrorists are higher ups in UNWRA…
Some reading:
...
It is taken as fact by the overwhelming number of global Jewish organizations that the United Nations suffers from an antisemitic rot - Clic
Also for having a different definition of "refugee" for Palestinians. Like, by consistent definitions, either a tiny minority of Palestinians are still refugees and the rest are (second class) citizens of where they were born elsewhere across the MENA region... or the majority of Israelis are equally still refugees awaiting return of citizenship and homes. The problem is the double standard.
There's also the fact that they don't insist on a "right of return" for any other group of refugees.
For every other refugee population, the priority is finding them a stable place to live, not sending them back to the place they fled from or were driven out of.
Having a separate standard for Palestinians is both blatantly designed to harm Israel and extremely cruel to the Palestinian refugees, some of whom have been trapped in limbo for the better part of a century instead of having the option to have actual lives anywhere.
The harms the UN has wrought are the point, really. The UN has created a whole People and willfully (and quite harmfully) turned them into nothing but a rhetorical tool for use in protecting the actions of the UN's member-states (anything goes horribly wrong human-rights-wise in your country, you can always deflect it onto Israel somehow). The classic "Don't look at what I'm doing, you need to pay attention to what I'm saying!" defense.
There's been soooo much money poured into the various Palestinian causes that they could have built themselves a pretty darn nice country with it by now if they were in the least bit interested in doing so. But no, that money instead gets used to buy guns, build rockets, dig tunnels, and create nest-eggs for the nakedly-Islamist-extremist terrorist warmongers.
