#they are straight up stealing people

[shmorp-mcdurgen]

You said that MBT is picking people that "no one will miss". But does that mean that they're getting snached from the streets or even their homes in the dead of the night, or are they getting some sort of "invintation"?

They. Get snatched.

Cesar for example was taken out of his home in the middle of the night. And six was taken from the street during a walk home.

Though, The bps was lured there by someone giving them a paranormal job in an “abandoned” building, where MBT officials were hiding out. So it depends on circumstances I guess

thinking about the funny little fake emo band again

#my art #off book podcast #off book #karm is straight up wearing outfits out of my 6th grade sketchbook of Cool Emo OCs Do Not Steal #also in the last one i have to imagine karm insisted that neal sit in her lap and not the other way around #but hes surprisingly light so it’s fine #every place i cry #as with all offbook stuff this only just barely makes it into the purview of this blog #but technically all the members have been on dropout at some point so it counts #shoutout to the maybe 2 and a half other people out there who are also inordinately attached to these weirdos

Ok sooo, I can’t stop thinking about the line from this post [here] by @swordfright , “Sam is a builder and dream is the ultimate engineering project: challenging (psychologically taxing to guard), important (to the stability of the server), rewarding (on those sporadic occasions when dream obeys him without question), and ceaseless (because the ideal prisoner always needs a warden to keep them in line.)” Because the idea that Dream is Sam’s “ultimate engineering project” really got me thinking about the definition of the duties of an engineer as per the Code of Ethics, which I studied in college.

As an engineer it is basically our responsibility to maintain sustainable development, which The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) defines [here] in the Code of Ethics as, “meeting human needs for natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation, shelter, and effective waste management while conserving and protecting environmental quality and the natural resource base essential for future development.” Even further, as a civil engineer (which I am and Sam is as a primary builder) it is our job to help provide the infrastructure and necessities to life, (shelter, water and by extension food +) with civil engineering encompassing the engineering fields of Structural (bridges, buildings, dams… etc), Utilities (power, gas, water, waste water… etc), Geotechnical (analyze and maintain that the ground can support projects), Environmental (protecting the stability of the environment like for example protecting the habitat of an endangered species), Transportation (roads for cars, train tracks, airplane runways… etc). Pretty much the necessities of civilization (lol hence civil). And I found this interesting because it is Sam’s job as the warden to provide the fundamental and basic necessities of Dream’s life in every way. So, in this way Dream would actually be the society Sam’s engineering is meant to benefit from and depends on (which he obviously denies and uses to abuse.)

But on the other side, interestingly a 2004 definition, [found here] of civil engineering based on Thomas Tredgold’s 1828 original is, “the art of working with the great sources of power in nature for the use and benefit of society”. And oh, the use of power here could very well be a good representation of Dream, making him actually the engineering project. Further, The NSPE Code of Ethics states, “Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.” In this sense, Sam’s position as the warden was dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, which by keeping Dream locked up, weakening him physically and mentally he was in essence trying to protect the server as well as working to strip the sources of power Dream had over everyone. And when his methods didn’t work, he let Quackity in, which funnily enough goes along with one of the The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISS)’s summarizing stated [here] fundamental canons, “Engineers shall perform services only in the areas of their competence.” And clearly Sam was not competent in getting the book from Dream, so he teams up with Quackity, his contractor, to finish the project as is typical in the engineering industry.

All this to say, that Sam as an engineer, while not sworn to follow a defined of code ethics still followed the general defined duties of engineering and strived to work for the betterment of the server. A personality and behavior, that Dream saw in him as they grew as friends and worked to build the prison - Sam’s passion for helping, to provide for and develop the necessities of society. His passion for wanting to use his skills to improve the world and help people. His strong principles of dependability, efficiency, justice, work ethic. If Sam was given a job to help people he was going to see it through to the best of his ability. He would not abandon his post, he would protect and serve the common good. - His strong engineering attitude made him a good choice in Dream’s mind for the warden, because of these qualities, which makes sense. What Dream did not realize is that he was not included in the society and all people Sam felt obligated to serve and provide for.

Instead, Dream was but a resource of power - the revival book - needing to be made efficient and accessible, so that everyone could benefit and share that power. Dream thought he’d be provided for and taken care of, but he was the project instead. Sam’s “ultimate engineering project” he deemed too damaged like a bumpy road or crumbling building that wasn’t worthy of patching and filling in the cracks or reinforcing, that’s too eroded to be fixed and preserved. So, Sam strived to tear him down to the bedrock so he could remake, remold, and reengineer Dream according to his design for the common safety, public health and well-fair. He was such a good engineer just like Dream knew he would be, he just forgot the whole teeny weeny ethics part of being an engineer that kind of comes with the job description… Oh well. ;)

#poor dream depending on his engineer to keep him safe and being let down in the biggest of ways #he ran from a war to a building and trusted it to keep him safe but it collapsed instead destroying him….. #did I make sense…. I’m not sure I got my thoughts across.. #hmm oh well words are hard sometimes… #c!dream #dsmp #dreblr #dream smp #pandora's vault #dsmp analysis #c!sam #c!sam and c!dream #this is fine #did someone order an essay? #welll… blame swordfright for giving me brain rot… lol XD #pandora’s vault has a singular purpose #probably gave you way more engineering info than you wanted but… of well lol <3 :) #oh sam… never ceases to break my heart… #sam the most unethical engineer and he didn’t even steal more from the government #or bribe or cut corners he just straight up neglected the fact that all people includes all people…

I can respect the hater mentality

#kirby #kots #kirby of the stars #hoshi no kirby #kirby meme #it's honestly hilarious that half the cast of star allies are just people that tried to kill us and most of them aren't even sorry #Taranza at the time was the only redeemed villain in the cast #like yeah magolor went through redemption but we didn't know that he just built a theme park and hoped everything was fine #marx is just not hungry and his text just hints at him still being up to no good #susie is still racist and im not even sure she learn something from her experience #apart from trauma #daroach is here to steal stuff #im still not sure what dark meta knight wanted but nothing good I'm sure #i may be giving Taranza too much credit because he's my favorite he did have ulterior motives #but at most he just wanted to pray for Sectonia's revival he wasn't gonna do anything bad #he is going through stuff of course he's vulnerable to be converted by a cult #he's even like 'probably won't work and it working would honestly be a bad thing but im going to try anyway' #do you think Taranza gets lonely up there #Galacta dying the second we receive the first bit of solid lore about them was straight up evil #and then kumazaki confirmed they killed them because it was funny i was enraged /pos #i know people were tired of Galacta Knight at that point #i mean i wasn't bur i kind of understand why some people may have been #even they were tired they kiled themselves before having to fight us again #do you ever think about how none of the Galacta Knight encounters are canon to the kirby cast but are canon to Galacta #and then their death isn't canon so oops here they come in Kirby clash #retire that is old guy #but actually don't i like them and i want them to appear until they drop dead (again) #the post was meant to be about Galacta never forgiving the ancients but honestly they're probably angry just in general

I forget how much of a little asshole Giorno is at the start of Vento Aureo. My friend watched the beginning and told me she didn't really like Giorno because he was "kind of a dick" and I see why. I guess it's like Josuke being a delinquent and Jotaro getting into fights and stuff

#rambles #giorno #vento aureo #giorno is interesting as a fairly static character in terms of morality #jojos usually start off as bad/flawed people and the parts tend to do different things with them #like how jolyne was pretty immature at the start of stone ocean and had her fair share of jail run-ins #and had to learn and grow throughout by gaining responsibility and protecting her loved ones while fighting a bigger threat #giorno straight up steals shit without feeling bad about it and doesn't really change or grow in his viewpoints #mostly because everyone in the mafia is worse than him. lol #i do find it a little annoying how giorno is established as a sort of moral authority with the ''you're a good person'' shtick #(with him even saying that to koichi... dude you robbed him.) #it gives him a very presumptuous air i don't think is intentional. i don't find giorno ''annoying'' per se but i can see why people do #what can you do though. middle schoolers are just like that #shoe watches vento aureo

Tom Blyth for some fashion thing. I gotta be honest, y'all. The sunglasses-indoors thing is giving me full douchebag vibes. lol

hummm humhum. i only just sat down but i'm really considering adjusting my rules a little and potentially refusing future interactions between myself and people who solely write dark, but idk if that sounds too picky or elitist or something because i don't necessarily have dupe anxiety, i just really from the bottom of my heart don't trust fandom with dark especially if they slice off daisuke for whatever reason, be it for standalone interactions or for the sake of an oc. maybe i'll just emphasize again too that with my portrayal i'm mostly canon compliant, but i also include many many personal/stylistic hc portrayal details and functionalities in my muse that are completely separated from canon, and i really dislike the idea of anybody trying to play copycat and plagiarizing these bits from me (again,) especially without permission. but for now i'll just go into my drafts lajdkfjg

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT. #and i'm not talking about overlap! or muses roughly feeling or thinking or having the same story #because -that- should be inevitable -that- can be really fun to experiment with #i'm talking about things like immediately copying certain details in my writing/portrayal #one after another as soon as i bring them up #that's just straight up plagiarism 😭 #this goes for people who write fics and read my blog too. please don't go stealing my stuff. begging #i'm partially non-canon this rp blog is my style(tm) my particular portrayal it's not flattering to Me personally #to have details copied into someone else's work beat for beat and whatnot #also im just tired of seeing ppl solely s3xualize a 15/17 yr old when they're like 30 yr old adults 🤢

I always wondered how James Somerton could crank out such many well written video essays in such a short amount of time…

Because he’s stealing the words of literally dozens of writers who are better than him. 😀

#˚ʚ meda rants ɞ˚ #can you all tell i just watched the new hbomberguy video… #i haven’t watched a james somerton video essay in a while #because his sexism towards queer women really started to leave a bad taste in my mouth #but there was a period in time about a year ago where i was recommending his content to almost every queer person i knew #and tbh i am so heartbroken #like the level of plagiarism this man has committed against his own community… #like straight up reciting wikipedia pages to a paying audience is scummy #but stealing the words and opinions and hard work of small queer writers?? #and pretending it’s your own work?? #it all just makes me so sad #like it’s so unserious #but also it’s not?? #so many people had their work straight up stolen and aren’t seeing a cent from it #all so this soulless man can butcher it and sell it to unknowing queer people #it’s such a disservice to queer people in general and i’m sad i ever encouraged other people to watch his shit in the first place

Listen good and well ⚪️ people, Mielle is not for you(only exception is if you have wavy hair) when the bottle says “it’s for all hair types” it means it’s meant for OUR(BLACK) hair types which is coily, curly to wavy hair( and even then, the wavy hair on black people is different than the ones on white people.)

Mielle even tells you itself that it’s not for the average white person when you do their hair test on their website that selects products that fit your needs

It’s asking about CURLS! Something most of you powder bandits don’t even have.

Mielle is not a brand for you. Leave the black products alone.

And for those of you are going to say “oh, we should support black business!” “Y’all are trying to stop her bag!”

Monique will be just fine with black or curly haired people supporting her. She doesn’t need you white people to survive, black people don’t need you to survive.

Madam CJ Walker, the first black and female self made millionaire, didn’t need white people to being her products to support her. Which we all know no white person was about to be going near a black persons hair products in the early 1900’s. It was black people who made her a millionaire by buying her products.

Overall, stop buying black peoples products when you know good and well it isn’t meant for your hair. Especially when you’re only using it because some white influencer told you so and now you wanna make ish trending.

#black girls of tumblr #tired of this bs #y’all raised the prices up in some areas #have the nerve to not even be using the oil correctly #then fricking complain that it’s too greasy for your hair #well yeah Sherlock! #It ain’t meant for you and your straight hair! #and I don’t even use Mielle’s products anymore #I’m just not going to let a a bunch of powdereshas steal our ish fight about it with us and then stop using it once it’s not a trend anymore #mielle rosemary oil #mielleorganics #black hair #curly hair #coilyhair #wavy hair #white people #curly natural hair #natural hair #and they did the same thing with the natural hair movement #they somehow found a way to include themselves in a movement started for black people in celebration of OUR natural hair #alix earle

I’m rewatching Bad’s vod during the voting shenanigans and OMG it’s NOT about the furniture!!!!! The amount of people who dismiss his very valid criticisms of the voting system because of the furniture law is INFURIATING and it’s not just Forever. Jaiden, Foolish, Cellbit, Richas, even Pomme. all of them do it. The fact that Cellbit gives him a chair at the end of their conversation is such a slap in the face to their entire conversation and just proves that Cellbit wasn’t listening to anything Bad said

“I’m gonna beat someone to death with this chair”

I hope he does

(Also the fact that Bad immediately started giving Forever the benefit of the doubt and trust that he was trying to do good after his convo with Cellbit is very telling. Even through all of the miscommunications and cutting each other off and twisting each others words, Bad still wants to trust Forever and work with him for the benefit of the island. Idk if they are gonna be able to get through to each other but that means something)

#qsmp #discourse #I guess? #part of my wants them to rip each other to shreds #and the other wants them to find a way to communicate #maybe we can have both >:) #Jaiden straight up mocks Bad for being angry about Roier’s voter fraud #I hope he loses it #they want him to go to jail for stealing furnature? #we’ll let’s see how they fair when he cuts off all their access to his base #and stops coming to their rescue every second of every day #I swear if people complain when bad removes access to his stuff I’m gonna start my own villian arc #XD

IT’S ABOUT THE PARALLELS. IT’S THE ORION/EL - EL/LIESEL PARALLELS.

It’s the bonefide, card-carrying hero crashing in your life when you’re busy being as selfish as possible to keep yourself alive, keeping your head down so school doesn’t kill you. It’s being utterly alone until someone comes around and gives you an excuse to start saving people. It’s having to be the sensible one in this relationship because your dumbass hero keeps trying to get themselves killed. It’s telling yourself you’re only being sensible when you’re really being very fucking selfless actually!!

#The Scholomance #it makes me insane that Liesel is basically El in the first book. #tells herself she only cares about vengeance. #running behind El whacking her in the head when she tries to be too selfless. #at the first chance of giving up her life's goal for the chance of helping people; she tosses it straight out the window #And it drives me insane El is basically Orion in this scenario. #someone who is good and selfless that comes crashing into Liesel's life #and steals her heart essentially. #not in a romantic manner. #but you tell me 'You know I like you' isn't Liesel speech for 'You are my dearest friend in the whole world' #YOU CAN'T. CAUSE IT IS.

people who think that tcw "fixed" the prequels need to actually examine the pt vs tcw for a while because. first of all girl what was there to fix? second of all how is tcw an improvement? what was changed for tcw that wasn't worse than the prequels?

obi wan was made to be a huge flirt who hits on everyone he meets which was not even a little bit supported by the pt and also was given a love interest for no other reason than to fridge her for his manpain (and also, apparently, to make him more “relatable”??? barf). plus the entire rako hardeen arc, in which obi wan is just a fucking horrible person who doesn’t care about his friends, i guess.

padme went from a strong and central character who was brave, powerful, and involved to being shoved to the side in favor of dave filoni's pet character and completely defanged. she’s ignored to the point where "prequel" (read: tcw) fans will say "the pt trio 🥰" and not even include her despite her being a main fucking character

anakin went from being a complex yet compelling character who genuinely loved padme, who was deeply compassionate for the most part, and who also was allowed to show emotions to being an controlling misogynistic asshole who's in mustafar mode at all times and doesn't have any emotions except for rage, lust, smugness, and embarrassment (because these are obviously the only emotions that men are capable of experiencing). i don't think he cries once in the series, which is wildly out of character on its own.

how is any of that “fixing” anything?? and everyone in the sw fandom stans tcw so hard that even if someone’s talking/writing about the events of the actual prequels, the shitty tcw characterization creeps its way in

also obikins don’t interact this post ain’t for you

#also tcw didn’t ‘fix’ anidala because they went from being two people who deeply passionate and genuinely loved EACH OTHER #to being two people who cannot fucking stand each other (+ the aforementioned “controlling misogynistic asshole” bit) #im supposed to believe that tcw padme and tcw anakin voluntarily entered into a relationship and straight up GOT MARRIED #and later have the sex required to have children in the first place #when i can't even imagine them being able to bear being in the same room as each other for more than five minutes #any longer and they'd immediately break into a completely pointless argument #anti the clone wars #anti tcw #star wars #i speak #hateposting #also no hate to ahsoka tano (maybe a little hate to ahsoka tano) but filoni CLEARLY cared more for his oc do not steal #than he did for literally any pre established prequel character
