#Government Will Say

[thornshadowwolf]

In complete seriousness, they need to make laws about ads that say they can take no more than one, maybe two, clicks/taps to close/skip. No more "wait 10 seconds until you can skip the video, wait 10 seconds until you can skip the fake playable ad, wait 5 seconds until you can close the 'download now' overlay, puts up a half-screen in-app appstore pop-up (which at least you can close immediately)." This should literally be illegal to do.

Edit: this is blowing up so I just wanted to add (haha ad) that this was my "reasonable request" I also think there should be way more and way stricter laws around all advertising in general. I think most advertising as we know it today should be abolished.

#ThornShadow.said #advertising #edit: I also have this sick pin on my jacket that has a “no” symbol with ads #and text that says 'abolish advertising in the media // replace this source of funding with government funding based on independent ratings' #not my idea but now that it's been presented to me it doesn't sound bad #like there are film funds and art funds and whatnot

people need to realize that what’s going on with palestine and israel isn’t about anyone being jewish.

there are jewish palestinians, muslim palestinians, christian palestinians being trapped in what is essentially an open air prison for children and the elderly with no food, water, or electricity just because they’re palestinian.

this is about colonization, and unfortunately so many people are falling for the blatant propaganda being turned out by an apartheid government (israel).

the only solution to stop all this violence is to give palestine their land back. that is the solution.

#free palestine #and before anyone says it: there is a difference between everyday israeli citizens and the israeli government #of course i sympathize with the people caught in the middle #but i will never stand with the israeli government #i am a supporter of the land back movement. that also extends to countries likes palestine #it is not antisemitic to stand with palestine

i find it very funny that people keep saying that grian is going against his rebellion rule by working for the government (not necessarily incorrect) and that the dhp is going to incite a revolt because the dhp is Different from previous governing forces in that the only control grian is excising over the other hermits its annoying them as much as possible (which he does regardless).

like. hermits love corruption. they love running corrupted governments and then dismantling them violently for fun. the dhp isnt necessarily Not Corrupt, but its Not Not Corrupt either. grian gets no profits out of this. he tries to avoid doing his job in every way possible but he still ends up doing it. the dhp is just here to rectify any mistakes made during the initial hermit permit set up and help people with their permit problems.

the dhp is meant to be as soul sucking as possible, but it does still help in the end (if you can actually get grian to cooperate). He'll Do This For You, but he Won't Be Happy About It. his sole payment is how crazy it all drives you.

and while this is not NOT an unrevoltable offense (the hermits have certainly rebelled for less), this also doesnt show any outright corruption other than whatever you'd call a depressed looking man working customer service who hates you for making him do his job. which i dont think really counts. thats just what customer service does to you.

#grian #hermitcraft 10 #hermitcraft #this is all just to say that the chances of a revolt may be lower than you think #government work is just like. extended customer service. if you think about it #some day one of my posts wont turn into a multi-paragraph tangent #joel threatened him with a sword and still ended up losing in the end. #the dhp arc is up there with hyperspace hippies in terms of my favorite arcs i think

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

calling it right now that season 3 starts like this

#so confused about people saying the season finale feels like the end because to me it didn't at all #there's like 5-10 issues immediately set up for another season #they're in a happy place at this point because they've both realized their love is bigger than anything else #and makes it worth working on their problems together #the problems are still very much there #both of them have deep self esteem/self loathing issues that haven't been resolved in the week since ed woke up #ed doesn't know about stede's trauma #they haven't talked through anything #and they'll be shit at starting/running an inn lmao it's not gonna go well #and those are just some of the internal issues #then there's prince ricky and all the authorities that would very much like to get their hands on both blackbeard and stede bonnet #because stede just full-on kept using his government name after faking his death. nice one #the crew are not “gone” they're more like off to college for a bit but will probably run into trouble immediately #again because while they escaped to the ship they didn't eliminate the threat (the british empire) #it's not a forever goodbye #ok this got super long already anyway i have a whole fic marinading in my brain until i've finished these 4 wips i'm in the middle of ✌️ #hope we get a renewal soon because i want to see the rest of their story!! #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd s2 #ofmd #our flag means death

French TV journalist having a hard time trying to get woman in the street to comment on Macron's latest speech yesterday

Protesters organised casserolades (aka banging on pots and pans) in front of city halls across the country at 8pm, when Macron was speaking, to symbolically drown out his voice. Later that evening, Macron was filmed singing a song with some 'random people' in a street in Paris, trying to show he can go out and meet people and have fun because protesters don't exist. The people he was singing with (members of a choir, some of whom are 'alt-right-leaning') were using a folk song app created by far-right activists that was criticised a few months ago for hosting a Spanish fascist anthem & Third Reich military marches.

The government's response was that the President "couldn't know the background of the people he met that night." Maybe if he wants to avoid being associated with the far-right (that's a big if, I know), Macron should keep in mind that with the kinds of strategies and positioning his government has adopted lately, people in the street who welcome him with open arms and are proud to be filmed with him have a higher than average likelihood of supporting fascism.

#genre hier darmanin qui dit qu'il faut sanctionner les gens au RSA et aujourd'hui le maire pour qui fraudeur = maghrébin... #also the far-right ppl who made that song lyric app got 40K€ of public funding from the ministry of culture #our government is 'questioning' public funding for the human rights league but not this #so yeah this is just 1 thing out of the avalanche of bullshit the government keeps unleashing these days #i could have made a post about the minister of the interior; a known rapist; saying #that french people are angry about the reform but ''they swallowed it'' #that was yesterday; this week is going well so far #cool thing that happened last week is that the film director who won the césar des lycéens award #made a speech in the presence of the minister of education in which he said #''it must be hard to be minister of education for a president whose words and actions reflect the opposite #of the values school is supposed to teach the youth: contempt rather than respect; dictating rather than dialoguing'' (etc) #also last week when macron went to notre-dame and of course forbade protests in the area #so protesters hopped on a boat and protested on the seine next to notre-dame #frpol

Every time I see a Palestinian child killed, torn up to limbs, his inside organs exploding out of his tiny body. Or a child alive but injured, shivering and terrified. I remember the words of the Israeli knesset member: "The Children of gaza have brought this upon themselves." And I feel sick. How can you see these babies and not flinch, but instead ask about their race and ethnicity to determine whether they deserve this or not? I truly cannot comprehend this.

#this is not some random extremist but the actual government #how can you kill and maim these kids and then say they deserve it #how did they bring this on themselves?? by being born in gaza #the youngest that are being killed are fetuses in their pregnant mother's wombs!!! #they absolutely did not bring this on themselves #palestine #gaza #israel #important #current events #free palestine #ethnic cleansing #free gaza #gaza strip #gaza under attack #gaza under genocide #israel apartheid #israel is a terrorist state #free palestine 🇵🇸 #we are not numbers #text post

Dc x dp idea 12

Danny sealing away the previous ghost king came back to haunt him. Someone freed him. He also has the crown and ring again. Maybe the fruitloop maybe a cultist who knows. Danny has words.

No one is able to stand up to him. His rouges tried his allies tried. I like the idea of ghost speak so they just can’t do anything. Danny and Vlad have a natural resistance to his orders as half human.

Background knowledge Giw is a huge thing. Like it’s supported by a lot of ppl. They have actually had Danny at one point before sam and tucker busted him out.

Danny and pariah are in a fight. It’s an official one on one fight. They end up in the human realm. Danny realized right away that they changed locations.

Danny went from attack to protect. Majority of his power is going to protect the people. Ice walls, shields anything he can. Danny is stopping the crazed lunatic from destroying houses and entire cities. This continues for a long time.

With a blast from both pariah and Danny they both disappear.

Reform is brought. Sam tucker and jazz lead it. No longer are the anti-ecto laws a thing. Time passes and the reformed laws are the bases of the meta human rights. Phantom is remembered as a hero who stopped pariah. Everyone thinks the two took each other out.

Danny’s friends and family are long gone at this point. But a portal opens and out the two come. They had fallen into a portal that lead them to future.

So now there fighting yet again in the human world. Danny managing to get more offensive as others are dealing with the humans. He doesn’t necessarily notice this.

He is to focused on pariah to notice the flying cosplayer and the furries.

In the end danny gets the crown away from him. The two only work when both are wielded. This time danny forces pariah into his core which ends the duel.

Pariahs core glows and fizzles out of existence. Danny is now king.

So now the justice league has to deal with a newly crowned king. One who has no trust in the government has been displaced in time and all his family is dead.

#danny fenton #danny phantom #dc x dp #dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #dp dc crossover #justice league #giw #dp x dc crossover #ghost king danny #Danny gets to suffer #all his friends are dead #so is his family #now he is a king and he doesn’t want to be #plus all these ppl keep trying to adopt him #one i a billionaire #he isn’t interested #he doesn’t believe them when they say the government changed #no one can convince him otherwise #law books don’t mean anything to him #why would he #dude probs didn’t pass government class #he’s still a minor in this #not a legal adult #hence the ppl wanting to adopt him #Clark cause they have similar powers #Bruce cause he has an adoption problem #Danny needs help and a hug

i finished Jedi Survivor a couple days ago and was saddened by Zygg, Wili and Mosey leaving, so i like to think that whenever the TL4J crew are out on an adventure and need something specific, Cal just goes “oh i know a guy” and pull up to find one of them

I’m also entertained by the thought of the TL4J crew dropping in to Pyloon’s Saloon and ending up meeting the rest of Cal’s Koboh friends (Toa, Moran, Turgle, Pili, Monk)

the range like. Luke saying I know a guy? probably a New Republic official, maybe a force ghost

Ahsoka saying I know a guy? 90% chance of it being someone who's actively trying to kill her

Ezra saying I know a guy? yeah he knows a ghost crew member

Cal saying I know a guy? genuinely could be anyone. how has this man met so many people. someone stop him he's too friendly

#i love cal and his inability to not say 'hi heres my full government name lets be besties' to everyone #ezra lost everyone else's number in exile #thanks for the ask!
