i think once u successfully win a debate there should be a period where they let you get out all the ad hominems you were holding back

[realshy]

the best death note joke format will forever be L asking light a simple question in which logical answer A might increase the likelihood of light being kira and logical answer B similarly might increase the likelihood of light being kira and after a short internal struggle light comes up with answer Y, which no human being has ever thought of as being a normal response in all of living history

This rapid slide from attempted machismo to sweet tender feelings is what happened to the show, too.

[loveletterworm]

Its still so funny that they even thought to put this in the game in the first place. Yeah sure to get 100% completion you have to actively break the terms of service on purpose. This is normal

Never forget that the physicians and "detransitioners" they bring to speak against trans healthcare are paid enormous sums to give false testimonies. They're not legitimate sources and shouldn't stop you from living your best life (source).

"Mario Mario" is an anachronism. He and his brother were only ever referred to by mononyms in their lifetime, like most residents of the Mushroom Kingdom at the time - multi-part names were typically reserved for members of the Toadstool dynasty, and even these were more like titles or Roman cognomina than what we would call a surname today. His putative ennoblement as founder of the "House of Mario" came centuries later as the collapsing feudal order sought additional sources of legitimacy

[prokopetz]

#mushroom kingdom folklore says that he sleeps beneath a warp pipe to arise in the time of the kingdom's greatest need #he's definitely shown up a few times but it's hard to tell if he has risen from the dead or is just in the middle of some time travel shit #historians hate him.

[rlyehtaxidermist]

While the historical evidence for Mario having a younger brother is quite concrete, the name of said brother is less certain. "Luigi" is generally held to originate with a separate figure from a series of chthonic myths, who originally served as a sort of psychopomp charged with capturing spirits that escaped the underworld. The strongest case for a contemporary figure named Luigi comes from the Waffle Kingdom sagas; however, this Luigi's brother is a gladiator named Gonzales.

xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat

[autisticexpression2]

There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.

Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.

Happy Pride.

[natalieironside]

Back in like 2011 people thought I was a cooky conspiracy nut for pointing out that we live under constant government surveillance. Now we live in a post-Snowden, post-Wikileaks world where the fact that we live under constant government surveillance is a matter of public record that everyone acknowledges, but I'm a cooky conspiracy nut for thinking it's bad.

[zackisontumblr]

my favorite thing about this post is that it originally started like this but someone snuck in another bullet along the way when you could still edit other people’s posts. the depth. the history. the tumblr lore. mystery author, i know you’re out there somewhere…

I'm so fucking mad about X-Men 97

Danger Thoughts Everything I was scared of came true. they did turn Danger into an evil AI running off corrupted protocols and I can't see it as anything but an unwillingness to make Charles shitty.

Like, they give her an evil villain speech and everything. And I was right! they put her with the human magnet just to killl her easy.

they took all the worst bits of the Dangerous arc and pushed it all together why does Danger go to Geonosha? not because she wants to confront her father for making her an Omelas' child, but to do a 'survival assessment' im so fucking mad

They even butchered her main fucking line even though it could have worked. "But they're not in their danger room. They're in Danger" -> "You built me to simulate danger, now I am the danger"

Im so genuinely pissed off. You had 17 quintillion other evil machines for this episode, why did you pick the ONE THAT ISN'T EVEN FUCKING EVIL.

god forbid we get some kind of sympathy for the abused child instead of ANOTHER evil AI.

God i just hope this doesn't influence how she's written comicside
