Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

maybe they don't like being called names. have you ever thought about that

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#if they don't like being called bin chickens then they should stay out of the bins

I'm sure they would LOVE to do that but unfortunately we turned their habitats into cities and farms so now they gotta look for other places where their long beaks specialised to dip into muck and water looking for tasty crustaceans can be put to use finding them food.

since you reblogged a couple odyssey posts lately, i thought you might wanna know i keep seeing people talk about the best odyssey adaptations on twitter and reddit and several people have said persuasion, i even saw a substack article about it! not an angle i’d considered before but after seeing the evidence i’m kinda convinced austen used it as an inspiration tbh!

:O

I’m shocked I never thought of it before but you know what? Valid. Man at war for years, returns to where his love interest is and the success of their relationship hinges on them recognizing each other.

@eurekura - ahh it so is!!! I always thought it was a little joke on the word “laconic” because there were few words between Anne and Wentworth while Wentworth was on the ship but I think this is really it! It’s a classical reference.

Where was Wentworth? At war. What Greek city state was known for war and warrior customs? Sparta. Wentworth is within a militaristic world why not say he is in Laconia / a warring state the whole time he’s separated from Anne!!!!

Jane Austen was just so fucking clever. It is insane to me that after all these years of thinking about her books there is still new cool stuff to discover!!!
