abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it's getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.

If you're catching yourself thinking "that piece of media can't possibly be old enough to [X]", remember the 5/10/20 rule:

If it's five years old, it's old enough to have been a formative influence for up-and-coming artists; this is when all the people who had their brains fucked by it as teenagers start hitting their 20s

If it's ten years old, it's old enough to have crossed the irony threshold; if it's the sort of media that's amenable to deconstructions (or "deconstructions"), expect them here

If it's twenty years old, it's old enough for the first wave of nostalgic revivals, often as a delayed reaction against the above-cited deconstructions; otherwise known as the "retro" event horizon

Yes, this does mean that, for example, Gamecube launch titles are retro now. That is how time works.

Not "It's a product of it's time" as a way to excuse its problematic undertones but rather "it's a product of it's time" to say that the issues it tackles were relevant then and its stances that now seem milquetoast were radical then, and that heavy handed, cheesy driving home of those viewpoints was sometimes necessary, and our acceptance and normalization of those viewpoints is in large part because of media like it normalizing those viewpoints and imagery, and watching it in the modern day turns into a loving study of history of the masses and public opinion

Yes this is about the original star trek

it's funny when my sister shows me videos of a few pro-Palestinian protesters calling for the death of all Jews and saying that they love death. I've seen hundreds of videos of pro-Palestinian protesters being peaceful and actually treating people with kindness. All videos of Palestinian activists have no trace of antisemitism.

yet, whenever I see a video of a pro-Israeli activist or someone protesting for Israel, there's always hate. I have seen videos of nine and ten-year-old children saying that they wanted to kill the arab child they met and how they want to make all Arabs their slaves.

every single video I have seen of an Israeli official speaking about the genocide has nothing but hateful and disgusting things to say.

the double standard is real. it is real and it is very much still present in today's world.

one video, just one video, of a pro-Palestinian person who says they wish all Jews were dead can outweigh the millions of other activists who know that Judaism and Zionism are fundamentally different and cannot be correlated.

yt no matter how many videos of Israelis and Zionists being hateful come up, people will never say anything.

it disgusts me that this is the standard our world has adopted.
