#negligence all around

According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.

#the question of 'what do we owe to each other' can be answered simply with 'the dignity of retrieving our remains when we die' #another answer is 'the dignity of thinking about each other fellow humans with similar motivations and feelings' #also 'stopping someones potentially self-destructive behaviors just because theyre rich and want to feel special' #also i feel like humans have been sailing the seas long enough that it should be guaranteed that people will survive sea voyages #im very mad about specifically mediterranean maritime disasters because we have ancient writing saying they made it safe #sailing from Egypt to Greece was so old hat and safe that people legit took the ancient equivalent of cruises back and forth #cleopatra habitually sailed from alexandria to rome with a ton of ships and was fine #Nero tried to have his mother drowned at sea by orchestrating a dramatic shipwreck while she was our sailing AND SHE SURVIVED #and then swam to shore got back to rome and whooped his ass #fuckin pliny the elder tried to evacuate people from pompeii and the surrounding coast villages when vesuvius erupted #and he actually WAS able to rescue people #but he himself had an asthma attack from the fumes which led to a heart attack and he died on the beach #there is legit no excuse for that trawler of migrant refugees to have wrecked #negligence all around #anyway #oceangate

everytime i actually open up sdv to play i get flashbanged with sebastian's white ass sprites because i always forget not everyone sees him as wasian💔 my current hc for him is half chinese (liable to change... but ik for sure he's half asian) but he is Not bilingual he can't rly speak or write the other language he can only understand it when listening but even then he's not very fluent LOL this is just turning into a sebastian hc post might as well go full out. to me sebastian Does have relationship experience but has been thru shitty ones in the past which is part of the reason why he's so pessimistic & brooding </3 and he'd hook up with ppl in zuzu city for a night for a while but it just made him feel shittier so he's stopped since ☝️ also people make him out to be way cooler than he actually is like yea sure he's kinda cool but he's also a Massive Loser especially when he tells you how he hates "seasonal fads" like pumpkin spice and that one line about the potluck soup where he's like "Why ruin the potluck? Hmm... I guess some people feel liberated when the rigid structures of society break down a little. Maybe I'm weird.” WHO ASKED😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 his ass also can NOT cook he can make spaghetti but it's mid. he probably has low ass stamina and yeah he's tall and lanky (rn i see him as around 5'9-5'10) but you could snap him in half over your knee. when he's in an actually healthy relationship he gets really flustered over certain romantic gestures cuz he's not used to feeling valued or being considered someone's #1. he picks up on little things and does acts of service but i also think he can be really callous and insensitive at times because while he can be pretty perceptive he is also Very Emotionally Stunted. he unlearns lots of unhealthy behaviors & mindsets with the help of his partner & family & friends ^__^

#i almost popped a vein trying not to mention rowan in all of this so this post is more. consumable i guess #but rowan to me is soooooo perfect for him to me because rowan's whole thing is empathy and warmth #where it's a strength but also a weakness for him because he's also a chronic people pleaser and a doormat #out of the need he feels to make people feel valued which is a good thing but not when its to the point of self negligence #rowan gives rly good advice but overburdens himself cuz he feels responsible for ppl&doesnt give himself the same treatment he gives others #when he's with sebastian he helps him feel valued and sebastian learns to trust people more and not to immediately assume the worst of ppl #and seb is sooooooo perfect for rowan bc seb is vocal about what he dislikes and when hes not happy w something/one #and is good at setting boundaries whereas rowan is Not. he helps rowan learn how to say no to ppl and be more assertive #& think abt his own feelings more! they both help e/o vocalize their feelings #for rowan its vocalizing his opinions more and valuing himself more & for seb its vocalizing more for the sake of better communication #w other ppl so he can establish better trust & relations w ppl. and stop being so closed off/unapproachable LOL #their differences match up well but it also leads to arguments/tension cuz seb doesnt communicate and resorts to avoidance #and rowan is too pliant sometimes to the point where it hurts not just himself but the ppl around him including seb #also fun fact rowan is the type to cry when he gets really angry/upset & when seb resorts to avoidance instead of reassurance #(which is what rowan wants) rowan sometimes ends up catastrophizing & also bottles up his emotions similarly to seb #they always reconcile in the end tho even if it takes a while </3 they r both learning ok!!!!!!!! #not perfect to the point where they dont argue bc thats Impossible but they suit each other well. they r good for each other qwq #eon babbles #stardew valley #farmer rowan #<- i talk about him in tags. hehehe

I feel as though so many people failed Lori.

#lori morning #legion of super heroes #losh #i am #so so bad with words so i can't articulate myself rn #but it drives me nuts #and like i don't even just mean the legion #they are kids too and they shouldn't have been responsible for her in the first place #but brande too and anyone else that may have been involved #they were all so negligent with her #you're telling me she didn't even have a legal guardian?? #did NO ONE think to get her properly settled and not jsut living out of their base?? #her situation is so sad and frustrating to me #i am so desperate to see what led to her being the time trapper #i would die for a spin off comic around her

It’s hilarious to imagine Eda grumbling while Raine waits to hear how it went.

Eda: She’s not… too bad

Raine: I TOLD YOU SO. Now help me break her out of there. Also add the blight kid and the golden guard to the mix

Eda: …why do I like you

KLDKFJSLKD. TRULY TRULY TRULY

eda's like "she's..... nice. i don't like that she's nice" and raine is like "you're telling me. i've never met a kid who needs to go more apeshit in my Life,"

#raine like look i can't bust her out of her self-imposed prison without her freaking the fuck out #can you Please let her relax and play around with magic and be a kid out here. #and eda like. well i don't WANT to i am queen of negligent parenting and you can't wrap me back up in your shit #you broke up with me!! remember!! i don't have to still care about you!! #raine: ....but you do like luz. don't you. you do Want to let her play out here. don't you. #eda who is almost yowling with frustration: I WISH I DIDNTTTT #replies #toh #princess luz au #the ever-growing cadre of adults who care about luz is so funny. #she is surrounded on all sides by concerned guardians while going 'i am alone. i am an isolated tyrant. i am the darkness' #like yes sweetie you sure are. let raine tuck you and hunter into bed or whatever. please for the love of god

I'm just constantly on my bullshit these days. brain said fuck you feel everything and think about everything

#nerd alert #i feel like im going thru my midlife crisis early #im 28 years old thinking 'i need to get in better shape so i dont get all run down as i age' #like damn i should get on a workout machine so i can both get swole and also so i dont like. idk end up using a walker at 50 #my dad had really bad knees and had at least one knee replacement probably both bc of his 30yrs of factory jobs lifestyle #and because one time he had to snatch his step-grandson out of the path of a moving vehicle and fell hard on his knee when he did #and also probably my insistence on riding around on his back like a pony when i was like 3. i have vague memories of that #sorry dad #anyway i dont have a factory job or kids but i probably will end up diabetic and i just. wanna keep my physical health as long as i can #im like lowkey paranoid about death and it would be cool to worry less about my body breaking down through my own negligence #ik disability can happen to anyone for any reason but i wanna do what i can to keep myself able-bodied #like if i become physically disabled then i become physically disabled but i dont want it to be something that i couldve prevented #just by being less negligent of my own health #that said. i just need a whole new set of teeth like at this point it feels like thats inevitable

I don't really understand why, in-world, people think satoru is an enigma? Personally, i feel like I don't always understand him because I don't always understand people, (let alone characters about whom we know about the same amount of information as the group of people around him), not because he's supposed to be a shonen hero and then is just a goofy, spoiled, stretched out teenage boy who is a little more careless than you wish he would be.

#I am never sure if I feel this way because readers are almost always victims of dramatic irony? #(or I mean characters are... since we who are not in the book understand them best but when we can't save we can feel like victims) #or if I am correctly interpreting the biases that prevent many of the characters from understanding him? #myy oc has biases too of course and part of the fun is outlining and exploring them #and I do genuinely know Satoru is Weird. Part of it is the close-to-enlightened thing. there's a lot of stuff he just doesn't care about #not in a way that is purposefully negligent #but where it just doesn't phase him? like I don't think he even holds grudges like normal people #it all flows through him #and it could be really weird when this is the same guy who also has a specific talent for annoying anything and everything #because he also knows how to get under people's skin #maybe he's just so sideways from what normal people expect #or that most people just don't think that much about others' motivations? don't step that far outside themselves? #because again having known people with this type of personality #it can be incredibly refreshing to be around someone who doesn't take things personally #and also doesn't care about a lot of worldly concerns/societal niceties #and is not telling anyone what they “should” do in the context of social norms #jjk #from the margins #io.myy #gojo satoru #maybe the message is i need to stop thinking about him

[bravevolunteer]

michael brainrot but i am just too eepy to articulate any of it properly

#been thinking about how he is so. emotional. #like he was an emotional kid.. that's just not the language that was really used bc he channeled it into anger and defiance #to combat feeling unsafe and alone .. he was sensitive he could be set off easily and a LOT of that comes with trauma #but even before things got *very* bad (which i still do not think he was doing well pre bite i've talked about this) he was acting out #sensitive to feeling left out and neglected (portrayal dependent but. at least william's lack of a presence during fnaf 4 to me implies #some level of negligence) and yes he did not react to this in the right way but also he was a KID. #he buried his emotions and forced them through the channels that felt the least vulnerable #and he was bound to either just burst or shut down periodically. #and i'm focusing on when he's younger but i think he ends up very.. 'forced himself to 'grow up' as a kid #because of actively being stuck where he did not feel safe' into 'he is ''out'' (heavy quotations lmao) of that so now he's just left #with all of this baggage that he doesn't know how to deal with bc he spent so long not allowing himself to be vulnerable' #very 'but now i've find i've grown into a tall child' you know. particularly interesting when it comes to unscooped/fandomless though bc #ADDING the scooping adds even more layers psychologically he's so. i'm gonna put him in a jar and shake him around #SEE I TYPE THIS MUCH /INFORMALLY/ IM JUST TOO EEPY TO MAKE FORMAL POSTS #⁂ ･ﾟ: i was looking for a job‚ and then i found a job‚ and heaven knows i’m miserable now ➛ ooc

enjoy some pencil drawings for once

screenshot study and what amounts to a conceptual illustration of a writing idea

#bravely Didn't try working on the ol wip last night; drawing program needed the laptop restarted anyways; dicked around thusly #like Yes i wanna draw my funny little guy who is the heart & brain's default lately (last several years) nice to do anyways #and naturally imo you can see the [been working on that animatic] influence. don't often manage to draw a thusly stylized winston #he would have the winstache here theoretically but no way was i trying to draw that in lol. nigh guaranteed erasing & v little space for it #for the erasing i mean. further disclosures for Interest: negligable / par for the course digital cleaning up includes getting rid of Some #stray marks like particularly annoying out of place specks. hard to do any of that & pick a stopping point though. yet i did... #more significant tweaks were moving winston's mouth up & one pupil iris Mark over both by like 5 pixels tops lol. still better =) #& then naturally the second pic's Colors are all added digitally. texture & that like shade gradient from top to bottom are courtesy of just #the lighting in the pics picking up paper texture / being itself uneven so there was more shadow further down.... #pic one only had lighting & contrast adjustments (slight increase on both)....i don't think any of this was very interesting lol but hey. #winston billions #corned beef #technically: #riawin #i don't know if i quite adequately indicated winston as upset in a frustrated kind of genre as well lol.... #but then i reacted afresh to The Pic as i was adding the colors like ah it conveys the intended emotion To Me...& i am the intended audience #could look like oh he's just like very elevatedly & transparently like ''ah jeeeez *Eye* messed up [pensive]'' lol but isnt meant to be so.. #hand on back of head not to be sheepish or chastened but rather an ''agh christ i wanged the back of my head'' kneejerk reaction lmao #for once in our lives the fun lil stars are the comic strip language of Oof Ouch Physical Pain indication #the other half of [reacting to what literally just happened / has arisen] being like And spilt my drink on my self #and b/c it's winston & it's his life there May be undercurrents of ''ah jeez. did *i* mess up here / so as to be at Ultimate Fault'' #that is the assumed interpretation of Anyone Else at him at any time. [Autistic Character Alert] babes.... #meanwhile. re: pic one's ref i took the screenshot for whole other fun casual reasons & eventually realized like oh hey fun bust profile. so #an exercise in Shading. which is sure smthing i'm a lot more practiced doing via pencil than digital means

[scarletiswailing347]

you can really tell i mellowed out about zam cause i draw him about as much as i do my other blorbos now aka never lol jk

#mine.txt #personal cw #not really a vent just me musing about my brain #i should really train myself to draw according to when *i* want rather than according to when my mental illness wants #cause like as much fun as it is it also has detrimental effects #like for example my more detailed drawings can sometimes take all night and id refuse to sleep until i finish it #cause i feel the overwhelming need to get it done #even tho i dont Want to get it done cause i want to go to sleep #also should be on tumblr less cause ngl it takes up way too much of my time #i like reading (non narrative) words and tumblr has a lot of them #honestly im never gonna solve these two specific problems until i manage to get to the root of them #aka my hatred of sleep and my want to see other ppls experiences respectively #both of which stem from my emotional negligence resulting in a weird existential kind of fomo #but til then i need to set up some temporary solutions cause this is Not sustainable #like i literally wrote this at 1 am even though ive been so sleepy for like 3 hours now #i think the best solution rn is to take up exercise that way id have no choice But to have a proper sleep schedule cause exhaustion #but i Refuse to do that when im around other ppl and unfortunately i have roommates #so gotta find something else

... you know, because of Tezuka's very round-looking art style, I always imagined Dororo in present time as being 8-9... she's probably closer to 11 or 12, since she talks about her parents' demises as happening sometime between ages 5-10. (She doesn't know exactly.)

.......... Hyakkimaru's only 14-15 over the course of the story (not the reboot, he's 16 there). These two have. Only about a 2-3 year age difference?! Dororo is SHORT... or Hyakkimaru just got very tall, very fast... well, teenage boys do have big growth spurts, but.

I always imagined the age gap was bigger, but I guess that's why they're paired up in so many adaptations when they're older (with some hints while they're younger)--aside from Dororo's jealous anger in the manga when Hyakkimaru talks about a village girl being pretty or something, PFFT.

(Give or take a year or two, given the time period, and the traditional way of calculating ages in Japan [counting the 9 months in the womb, a baby is considered a year old, lunar calendars--the Hijri calendar does this too--also often consider a child older once the new year begins, rather than chronologically when they complete a full year and reach their next birthday...])

"The traditional Japanese system of age reckoning, or kazoedoshi (数え年, lit. "counted years"), which incremented one's age on New Year's Day, was rendered obsolete by law in 1902 when Japan officially adopted the modern age system, known in Japanese as man nenrei (満年齢)."

#Dororo #Hyakkimaru #HyakiDoro #Osamu Tezuka #Blood Will Tell #age difference #it is..... actually way smaller than expected and becomes completely negligable when they meet again as adults years later PFFT #which is what the 2019 anime and Blood Will Tell game do #as for the live action movie they're both aged up to teenagers for their first meeting #and we get to see awkward Hyakkimaru flirting in one scene (the same way he does in every version calling her pretty totally bluntly) #and Dororo getting awkward and yelling about dirt and then #she stands and looks at the earth around them that all these samurai are fighting over and ruining everyone's lives over #(it's all just dirt... it doesn't belong to anyone) #GREAT scene... powerful.

I was having lunch in a restaurant with work people, and a woman in her 60s, who I know for a fact didn’t know how to open the clip of a file folder until a few years ago, commented that two of our business partners, a mother and a daughter, are kind of weird (they are peculiar people, it’s true) and the first time she met them she thought that, the way she spoke, the daughter wasn’t “quite right in the head,” and egged me on to back her up. I tried to recall if I had ever noticed anything odd, only to immediately remember that the woman I was speaking with was upper middle class, had probably not worked since she married 40 years ago, lived in fancy suburbia, drove a Mercedes, had a businessman husband, and a bank executive son. After being hit in the face with the slap of completely unwitting classism, the only thing I could come up with that wasn’t terribly rude was, “I didn’t notice anything.” Smile. Smile. “Probably because most people in my neighborhood speak like that.” “They do?” “Yes, and my classmates at school spoke like that too. I guess that’s why it didn’t stand out to me.” “Really?!” “Really.” And then I spent the rest of the lunch wondering what first impression I would’ve given this lady if I hadn’t spent my entire goddamn life code-switching between languages and accents.

#just the day before i was sitting at the bar downstairs and one of the regulars was talking to me about how his 3 brothers died in the 80s #from drug use and negligence from authorities #'my brother wasn't a criminal. my brother was ill.' #'and the people in power instead of helping let them all die to clean the streets' #'they wanted them dead' #his voice is rough from a throat operation and so is his way of speaking #he plays in a rock band #he says since he had the cancer taken out the only thing he smokes is weed #and the other day he stopped my parents and told them that sometimes he sees me around but doesn't say anything #because he doesn't want to bother me #and doesn't want to look like a creep #but that if he ever sees anyone bothering me on the street he's gonna throw hands #and it was such a stark contrast to the clueless suburban mom #thinking that a person's accent and education dictates their intelligence #and the work lunch in general #talking about business and crypto and international politics and the rise of authoritarianism #when you come from a place like mine and sorta climb up your way from cleaning offices to being the one sitting in them #there's this constant disconnect between the place you spend your professional life at and your home life #you've always wanted to be at that lunch table talking to the posh woman #and then out of nowhere she says the most offensive thing you've heard coming from a fellow human being's mouth that month #and suddenly you long to be throwing back beers with the old school rocker at the bar back home #(but that's not home either. it may be more comfortable #but it stopped being home when you stepped out of it.) #(now you're stuck between two worlds and you belong to neither)

When people in education complain about the difficulties in their job and some 22 year old corporate ding-dong who works for some massive tech company sending emails and taking naps mid workday and gets paid 6 figures tells them “well you knew what you were getting into!”like if I knew I could get paid to be a useless twat in an office I would have chosen that career path dipshit

#sorry I just have so much rage when I’m on social media and see the contrast between the issues being faced by my fellow educators #working for a sinking ship(the education system) with terrible pay apathetic and traumatized and sometimes very violent students #parents who refuse to parent or take any responsibility and admin that is negligent and weak #pand then turn to find the Corporate Girlies (gender neural) bitching about how they have to go back to their cushy offices #and how like now they can’t work out at their gym they have to use the office gym or eat free office lunch after toiling for all of 2 hours #and standing around talking or online shopping the rest of the time #just like shut the fuck up read the room #I don’t feel bad about tech layoffs tbh they can be teachers… there’s a shortage and they’d be HAPPY to have you

Every once and awhile I like to burst my mom's bubble on something and right now I'm in the process of bursting her bubble on Dr Phil, Dr oz, and Oprah and thankfully these people documentedly suck so hard it's not actually difficult for me to pull up details I remember that if looked up absolutely can be corroborated.

Anyway it's kind of a fun hobby of mine, mostly because I already burst my own bubble on these people (except Dr oz I never liked that asshole I HATED how much he constantly talked about dieting and weight loss, my LEAST favorite topic even now tbh) and it's taken me like 3 years of hint dropping to get here ok. It's been a long time coming 😂😂😭

#winters ramblings #my mom doesnt think shes stubborn but YEAH she is lmao it takes me AGES to lay out the ground work of a bubble burst #and then when it all gets set up right i knock it over because holy HELL i cant be having people going around thinking dr phil doesnt suck #therapy isnt entertainment!!! what the actual fuck!!!! also i always hated dr oz and oprah was so sad to learn sucked #i mean she seemed like such a nice lady amd i dont even think shes a bad person exactly i just think shes horrendously negligent #about like EVERYTHING to do with the power she holds and how much shes spread misinfo and venorated quacks #although dr oz actually IS a hella good heart surgeon but unless you need heart surgery dont listen to that idiot #mans knows his way around a heart with a scalpel and thats IT and hes VERY good with the scalpel credit where its due #but mans is ALSO a huckster calling green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketones miracle drugs for weight loss #TOTAL fucking hack.

idk why they bothered getting dai satou back if they werent going for a gimmick that required a tv writer he sucked ass the whole time except for the one character they let him actually go nuts on

#you can tell he didnt care about shit and just put in the most basic level 2/10 imagery and metaphors and references #to get the paycheck its soooo ass #the game looks good and had potential to play decently but it just had no direction or passion behind it #such a phoned in miserable game #barry's parts arent even cringe enough to loop back around into comedy its just -_- every time they try to make him Bad Ass #and its not enraging enough a take on dads to mean anything at all. like literally his single sin as a dad was being #really fucking stupid and negligent one time in a way that had no lasting consequence as far as the plot is concerned #like the characterization was not nuanced enough to have 'yeah i shot my sister on accident cus my dad is an idiot but shes fine' actually #carry any weight whatsoever. like she needed to fucking die. but then moira forgiving him would be stupid and insane #so nothing ever gets built out of anything. it honestly feels like the game had a chapter cut from production at some point #which while adding an abruptness to the game probably is for the best the only reason #im not spitting mad about having to play it is that it was so short it barely had time to register as as horrible as it was

Today I was reminded of the movie Baby's Day Out (AKA Home Alone but it's a baby), which I loved as a kid and haven't thought about in years.

And I had the thought, "if I watch this movie with the presupposition that this baby is a divine entity of chaos, will that make this movie more enjoyable to rewatch?

The answer to this question is obviously yes without even having to test it out, so I decided to make it a little more interesting and update my very scientific hypothesis:

If I watch this movie with the aforementioned assumption, then will that in fact make Baby's Day Out into the best version of The Omen??

I'm testing my hypothesis now. I don't think I've seen this movie in like 20 years. Man. It's hard being a scientist doing important science work sometimes.

#original #John Hughes #Joe Mantegna #joe pantoliano #Laura Flynn Boyle #it is a movie that is conceptually horrifying but works on Looney Tune rules which means no harm ever befalls the baby #also they don't forget the baby at home he like wanders off so it isn't that his parents are like. horrifically negligent. #Looney Tune rules means that the set of physics and logic the world of the story adheres to are totally different #not just because this movie has a home alone level of horrible deadly injuries befalling shady guys that they keep walking off #but also because a toony universe like that bends around a baby even more than usual! #remember the little girl Mindy and her long suffering dog (that made me so so sad) on Animaniacs? classic example. #except I prefer if the character following just behind the baby and incurring horrible physical harm is not an innocent dog #I think in this one they are like #three Italian mobster mooks who want the reward money for finding the baby #It's been a minute. I'm high. I care a lot about how different stories use different sets of rules I think it is really fun #solid chance I will get 20 minutes into this and bail but #I'm tired and high and this baby is an adorable Antichrist. just like my dog. #I say this with all the affection in the world
