@lovelanguageisolate and I were cuddling and I called him (as I sometimes do) an ugly bug. And then, according to him, I started giggling and spontaneously told this story:
Once upon a time God made the beautiful insects, like the butterfly, the ladybug, and the sparkly caterpillar. And then he decided to make an ugly bug, too.
The ugly bug would sting people and scuttle away to the dark moist underside of rocks. And when children picked up the rocks to look at what was underneath, they would exclaim, "Oh, what an ugly bug!"
(at this point he was laughing hard enough that I put one hand on his chest and one on his back, to better enjoy the movements of his thorax)
It happens that one of God's other creatures was the shy hippo. She lived in muddy waters and caused all sorts of trouble. As hippos did, she would trample people and break their legs, but then rush away because she was shy.
One day, the ugly bug landed on the waters where she lived and said, "You look like the kind of person who would enjoy a reading group of Donald Knuth's classic computer science textbook, The Art of Computer Programming."
So she attended the meetup but barely said anything, because she was a shy hippo. Something made the ugly bug think, "This lady is trouble." But she wasn't! Yet. The coronavirus pandemic hit soon afterwards, and the ugly bug moved away to Denver to live with the ugly bug parents who had spawned him. He was quite safe from her rampages there.
Once he was vaccinated, he came back to Seattle where she was going to bars and playing boardgames with his friends. And then he was in a great deal of trouble indeed.

I'm 5 feet tall with a delicate build, and I work out regularly. No amount of body-building changes the fact that the average man could easily wrap his entire fucking hand around my neck and EASILY choke me to death, or break my wrists or my fucking spine. That terrifies me. It terrifies me than in a real one on one fight to the death, I'd probably be the one dying. I'm thinking of that video where a woman stabbed a guy with a big knife like 15 times, and he still kept fighting, whaling on her. What the fuck are those tiny "self defense" blades supposed to accomplish ? My best bet would probably be to slice his jugular or push my thumbs into his eye sockets, but how the fuck am I supposed to do that if he's restraining my arms. It TERRIFIES me that I can't fight, and even if I could, I'd probably not stand a chance against the average man, and definitely not if there were more than one.
Do any of you know self defense tips that ACTUALLY work? No convoluted moves. If a brute has got me in a fucking chokehold, I won't be thinking about the steps of popular self defense moves. I'll be panicking, losing strength and consciousness. The way i see it, my best bet would be carrying a fucking dagger, but even that requires intense training to learn how to use efficiently.

why was Dooku teaching Ventress makashi anyway. that's his preferred style but it doesn't suit her, she should have been learning ataru imo
I have so many thoughts about her just in terms of her combat style... like she trained as a padawan when she was a teenager and presumably learned the basics, then picked up jar'kai when she was using her own saber and her dead master's. assumedly taught herself how to do that. but depending which version of the story you follow, she was either forced to be a gladiator in an arena before breaking out, or on a killing rampage driven by the need for revenge. neither of those things lend themselves to makashi, which is a duelist's style made for saber-on-saber combat.
maybe it's an overcorrection issue. Dooku picks up Ventress age 23 and agrees to train her bc he saw the absolute carnage she was creating on rattatak, and then she starts boasting that she's "entirely self taught" and "made up her own style of fighting" and oh god, she's clearly never fought a duel in her life and has abandoned the core principles all padawans learn, what has he gotten himself into. she's so good at killing and violence when she's up against a hundred people with guns but now she wants to kill Jedi and he's aware the second she gets near a Jedi she'll get her ass kicked, so we are DRILLING those makashi basics damn it
but fuck I love the idea of Ventress who is hard for Jedi to fight because she's good with sabers but entirely untrained in expected forms, impossible to pin down because she switches tactics on a whim and incorporates elements of unarmed combat when you least expect it. the same way a novice chess player beats a champ by deviating from known playbooks, Asajj Ventress will fuck you up by being an orphan with anger issues from a trash planet. she's not above kicking as an opening move.
anyway she loves jumping around and being aggressive she should have learned ataru.

Men are so fucking trashy.
There was this moid (late 20s-30) crouched on the grass,waiting for the bus maybe.
He was holding 2 cans of beer and when he got up,he dropped a can on the ground.
It began spraying everywhere,one lady backed off to avoid getting wet.
His first idea was to launch it over the road into the bushes,but then he walked some more and tried to toss it in one bush. Failing.
The can was still spraying.
He walked away drinking his other beer and tossed something on the ground,AGAIN.
Judging from the way he was strutting around,he looked like he was about to hit someone.
I've never once seen this kind of behaviour from a woman,I swear to god.
It's always a man littering,especially in front of witnesses.
Zero fucking shame.

...so is there really no one who's made a comparison between the zoo the tributes were kept in in tbosas + the capitol citizens treating them like subhuman spectacles, and the real-life concept of human zoos/human exhibitions in earlier centuries, or am i just not looking in the right places?

“Do you think we shall see anything of those Riders?” asked Pippin cheerfully…
“Yes, probably,” said Frodo not liking the reminder. “But I hope to get across the river without their seeing us.”
“Did you find out anything about them from Gildor?”
“Not much - only hints and riddles,” said Frodo evasively.
“Did you ask about the sniffing?”
“We didn’t discuss it,” said Frodo with his mouth full.
“You should have. I am sure it is very important.”
“In that case I am sure Gildor would have refused to explain it,” said Frodo sharply. “And now leave me in peace a bit! I don’t want to answer a string of questions while I am eating. I want to think!”
“Good heavens!” said Pippin. “At breakfast?” He walked away towards the edge of the green.

I have nothing against Kendra nor Kendratello, I think most of you have actually done a good job at being civil and to that I give my honest thanks. I personally do not like the ship because of my own headcanons and feelings but those are my own and shouldn’t stop you.
BUT what were not going to do is pretend Kendra is some how Donnie’s savior from the big bad 2012 april.
Like I need you guys to be fucking for real here. She’s canonically manipulative, befriending rise Donatello just so she can steal his gear such as his battle she’ll which ya know is pretty fucking important to him given his sensory issues and his soft shell. Used his fear of beach balls against him (which granted is funny as fuck ) and befriended shelldon to win a race and subsequently dumped him when lost and is just canonically a dick to friends/step sibling.
Don’t get me wrong she’s not straight up evil or anything’s she’s a hammy bully antagonist but that’s just it she’s A ANTAGONIST.
I thought we were over the weird ass hate boner for 2012 April is becoming barely disguised sexism with certain individuals picking and completely butchering other female characters as some gotcha moment

delusional rightoids: WhiTe pEoPle abOliShed SlAvErY
also White people less than a century ago (after slavery got 🤪abolished🤪):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
wasn't this mess slavery? 🤔
Oh my bad, White historians were smart enough to brand it as ✨"slave labor"✨ to sound more civilized than these filthy savages of southern hemisphere
Beside lines on paper, yall abOliShed nothing! Only a few decades later yall psychopaths were back on this shit lmao
"b-but it was war!!" (gulag weren't the result of war though)
So you think slavery in times of war makes it any remotely different/more acceptable than when it's not? Fine, hopefully you realize that the same happened between African kingdoms you low brainer LOOOOVE pulling out whenever your gassing yourself up as the good slave abolishing saviors saving the days against those filthy savages. If you are willing to make a distinction between war prisoner and slaves, why can't you do the same for any other civilization than the Whites?
Before strawman'ing about Black downplaying African slavery (if you knew what you were talking about, you people would know there's an ongoing discussion within the Black diaspora about this issue, so much that some ADOS felt angry about "The Woman King" movie whitewashing their history of slavery), maybe you should turn around and ask yourself why you guys are incapable to remotely think critically of your own White on White slavery History which is much recent than the last Dahomey wars.
Don't throw stones when you're living in a house made of glass.

hey what’s up. im a citizen of castelia, hope you dont mind but ive got a bit of concern about your latest policies. mostly though, i want to know what kind of garbage you have to have in place of a brain to treat eebydeebies like that. is it food waste? snot covered rags? my bet personally is that your head is full of human shit.
[@rashzangoose]
The Castelia City Government respects your right to have civilized questions or concerns about policy changes.
