I wonder if the reason Ozpin was willing to let Jaune stay at Beacon, despite how unprepared he obviously was, was probably because he knew his great-grear-grandfathet during the war? Ozpin probably would have recognized Jaune from his weapon.
My girlfriend doesn't have a Tumblr, but after I bought my copy of Sir Cameron I convinced her to buy her own! She thoroughly enjoyed it, so I'm sending you photos of her cats Peppermint Patty and Lord Licorice paying the cat tax on her behalf
hello to your animals! I like that only one of them has facial features
I’m willing to sacrifice my notes for this because I’m curious. so TikTok has been blowing up with this very divisive thought experiment, and I am convinced the results on tumblr will be very different based on culture here. Feel free to participate and share your thought process! For those easily caught up in rumination, this experiment involves moral ambiguity and hypothetical harm, skip if you need to.
The thought experiment goes like this. A large group of people (the whole world or a whole country or just a large and diverse group) each individually must press one of two buttons, a red button and a blue button. On their own, both buttons do nothing. However, if more than 50% of people press the red button, everyone who pressed the blue button will die. If more than 50% of people press the blue button nothing happens.
Which button do you press?
red
blue

Is the button you would press different from the one you think is correct? Is there an ethical imperative to press one over the other? Which button should people press? I’ll discuss TikTok’s reaction below the cut
I want to emphasize that I don’t think this experiment reflects morality. I don’t think red or blue represent some Kantian ethical imperative and that someone is bad for choosing one or the other. Hell, I think there’s a right choice, but in the moment, I don’t know if I could choose it. Moreso I think this experiment shows the ways in which individualism vs collectivism function in the public subconscious.
TikTok is VERY split on this one. I would say it’s around 50/50, but red is a VERY vocal group. Their insistence is that people who would press the blue button are irresponsible, and they shouldn’t need to needlessly endanger their own life to press the blue button to save people too stupid to not press the red button. Meanwhile, people who would press the blue button argue that it’s impossible to get 100% of people to press red, that 50% is a much more reasonable goal, and that people who would press red are engendering eugenics rhetoric. From that write up it’s probably pretty clear where I stand.
people have tried reframing it over and over to get others to understand their positions. However what it comes back to is that people who would press the red button believe they are not actually killing anyone, blue button pushers are just pointlessly killing themselves. Meanwhile blue button pushers argue that pressing red is deliberately causing harm because they know people WILL press the blue button, and therefore are willing to actively cause harm to save themselves.
it’s a complex topic I think, but mostly what’s been interesting is seeing a phenomenon of what I believe is guilt over pressing red and making justifications to convince themselves that blue was an objectively wrong choice and they are superior. Blue people are not lashing out in this way against team red, merely advocating for communalism and understanding and the occasional insult about amorality. But mostly it is an army of people I think feel bad, don’t like that they feel bad, and then do their utmost to make sure it’s everyone else’s fault and I think that speaks to the cultural mentality of individualism that dominates the sociopolitical climate right now.
I think it’s very revealing to see how this experiment has brought out those who otherwise would not have radical beliefs functionally parroting Nazi rhetoric. By contrast, tumblr is much further left, and has a much higher population of communists, socialists, and communalists. Collective good is often assumed to be a given over individualism, and so I’m curious to see if the poll results reflect that. I hope that I framed the experiment in a neutral way, even if the write up here is clearly biased blue!
Ok so I was gonna press blue even before I read what they do, but after reading I was absolutely going to press blue! I guess it's just that I don't like the thought of anyone dying, especially if I've taken part in it through action or inaction.
I really understand this cause one time I was so excited to show this picture of a caterpillar I found. In fact I'm sharing it here cause no one was as excited as I was about it
£25 a pop, these are pre-render sketch state (to save my hands they hurt right now) and upon purchase they will be finalised and finished to a higher standard, inked, shaded, etc. DM for inquiries.
Ok, ok, hold on. So in stargaze both Wolfwood and Livio have been very whitewashed, Livio to a painful degree from what I've seen. But! What if this is a side effect of the serum in this version? We know it damages the body when used, even if not evident at the time. So maybe if we get a "where are they now" time skip at the end we'll see them healthy with their natural darker skin color?
I haven't watched the episodes yet but have been looking at spoilers, so I may not be completely informed
I'm scrolling Tumblr. I pause to watch a video of Amaury Guichon. He pours chocolate into a mold, then carefully removes the shape of a human head. There are time lapse clips of chocolate being formed into a body, limbs, and hair. As the final detail is finished, he steps back to reveal the figure of a beautiful woman, uncannily lifelike. He steps forward and places a delicate kiss on her lips. The figure, now a living human woman, stirs and looks around in wonder. Amaury Guichon looks into the camera with a wide smile and holds out his arms in presentation.
"Fucking chocolate guy," I mutter to myself before scrolling to the next post.
was watching a vid of reddit posts and one was a picture of a free sunscreen dispenser in a public restroom in cardiff (wales), and that's just the most unintentionally hilarious thing
