#i have to fact check someone

[birdmenmanga]

I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too

#just thinking thoughts... #disco elysium #idk man when did we get so scared of failing!! #people never want to speak in class because 'what if I'm wrong :(((' #well then you are wrong... that is okay... it's normal to fail... sometimes saying the wrong thing is a great way to jumpstart a topic... #'getting a good grade in X is both normal to want and possible to achieve' #okay sure but have you made peace with the fact that getting a BAD grade in X isn't a bad thing? #a bad grade in being friends... okay... so you didn't check up on someone in 3 months... you failed... that's fine... #you can learn from it!! you can learn how to keep in touch with people. how to take care of them when they're sick. #how to resolve a dispute. how to communicate and compromise. these are all things you are not born with #and will fail first before succeeding at #Like yes I get that in the age of surveillance your failures may be recorded and preserved forever and that's not great #but if we don't normalize failure I really think we'll just suffocate and die

hi, the post abt the palestinian sunbird is false information. not sure if it was intentional on the part of op or not but i figured i would let you know

Hi. What exactly is the false information, please? Because I've got sources corroborating the post and they are NOT hard to find.

Israel tried to erase "Palestine" from the bird's name: (source)

It was made the national bird of Palestine in 2015: (source)

And the sources about the artists are literally linked in the post. (Post in question)

Look, what I've got is what Wikipedia uses for sources, and I am aware that Wikipedia isn't the end-all be-all for research. However, I haven't been able to find anything to the contrary.

If I've missed something credible that disproves any of this, or anything else I ever post for that matter, by all means show it to me and I'll gladly post the correction. But you better have sources. The way you came into my askbox with nothing in hand to prove your claim is, frankly, incredibly sus. If you meant this in good faith then come back with your source, and next time remember to provide it upfront. If you don't have any proof to back this up. Get out. 🇵🇸

#hey by the way: no zionist shit here thanks. #fun fact. earlier today i got an ask that was just 'im so disappointed in you :(((((' thats all it said. #and the two posts that were up by that point had been scheduled so i got scared i like accidentally posted something weird #so i checked and hm. no. all there was was an educational post about a symbol of Palestinian freedom and a post about books getting weeded #so. hum. i wonder which one someone could have been disappointed with and why [sarcasm]

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

my strongest take is that if you have more than 5-10 items (range depends on size and ease of scanning) you should not use the self-checkout when there is a perfectly good cashier line already.

If you bring alcohol or other age restricted items to the self checkout I will kill you in the middle of the Walmart and everyone behind me in line will be cheering.

#I am genuinely so tired of having like two small items and then having to wait for #Susan who filled two shopping carts with groceries #and Daniel who’s buying several items and waits to scan the six pack last #it’s always white people #if you have several items you can have the cashier scan while you take them out of the cart and someone else bags! It’s faster! #not to mention the fact cashiers will generally override the age check if you’re obviously over 21 #self checkout is an express lane it’s not an ‘I’m too good to talk to the cashier’ lane #if I go to the cashier with my bag of chip snack and water I look like a maniac #use the most efficient lanes it’s the grocery store don’t slow the process

okay due to experiencing my less than proudest moment i have to ask

#yes i did manage to recognise gale from just his ass cheeks #it was someones icon in my notes sjdfhks #and i went ''is that gale?? let me check'' #it was in fact gale :( #i should have a tag for my polls #statistical nonesense #there we go

idk which one of y’all is telling lucie that I’m lying about her on main but like ok since everyone thinks im lying about why she cut me out and her checking on my friends and then saying horrible stuff about them in tags etc etc put the thread together and draw your own conclusions and join her instead of keeping tabs on me to report back to ‘your master’ 😩 as u can see we parted amicably and i told my friends exactly that but then she started to make vague posts and then that’s why we got angry but ofc ! once a victim always a victim and such.

#and it’s funny I never would’ve said a thing against her if she didn’t for some reason get on her weirdo high horse about how people can’t #dislike and block her unless it’s my fault for some reason ? #if you’re talking about my friends unfollowing you it’s because you’re CHECKING ACTIVELY. hence the assumption. #the fact that you actually think this is about notes on gifs is freaking insane to me like genuinely crazy ??????? #hello???????? see the bigger picture for once #mrow.org #naturally if anyone interacts with these people I don’t want you anywhere near me like don’t even come in my inbox lol #it’s actually kind of super telling that like. someone is this pressed about notes of all things when there’s an entire group of people #concerned about an actually uncomfortable person to be around and someone making it all about them and starting essentially a fight bc they #won’t have more than 10 reblogs. boohoo ? get help

[utilitycaster]

intrigued by Morrighan changing class but also literally C3 alone is making me swear on a stack of D&D books to never play below 15 INT ever again in my life

#for any ongoing campaign I DM this is in fact my one hard rule beyond basics #someone needs to have an above average INT score. one-shots do whatever. #longform campaign you will NOT fail lore checks #cr spoilers

sketches from @mipexch 's whiteboard a couple days ago!!

also feat. a very small reference to @onlineviolence :]

#peridots-art #bugs #bots #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #swordsmachine ultrakill #bugzapper ultrakill #minos prime ultrakill #v2 ultrakill #plus the rest of the fumos but those weren't done by me. someone was drawing v1 so i put a v2 beside them and came back later to like 5 mor #hence why they are out of frame. anyway this was a LOT of fun I lost track of time and stayed up till dawn even #there were so many cool and/or recognized artists.... i keep checking the ultrakill tag to see if anyone else posts their own sketches #it was posted at like 2am my time though so i didn't get to stay very long.... i checked in today on the fumo drawings and there was #just so much new art over there and in general. so many people doodling and having fun and complimenting each other and bonding over #the things we all like. im gonna cry #anyway. i think this is the longest period of non-posting (not inactivity. lol) on tumblr i've ever had #so might've forgot some tags. also i think i'll use alt text for multiple images and regular id for 1-2 #edit also i wrote 'today' in the tags up there but it was in fact two days ago. regardless #ALSO. sorry if the alt text is hard to read or anything. never used it before + penchant for lengthy descriptions #can you tell i'm really proud of the beetle gabe btw. men will see a character say 'anyone gonna buggify that?' and not wait for an answer #WAIT i've already made that joke haven't i. whatever turn your blorbo into an insect or some sort of gay bug today

[princekirijo]

I'm curious and I personally don't know the investigation team that well so:

Feel free to reblog and put your reasons in the tags :3

#persona 4 #im not tagging everyone 💀 #i never finished persona 4 so i want people who have played the game's opinions on the matter #it is curiosity but ig its also for my personal project #not that the IT are going to make an appearance in said project but it would be nice to have a cameo or two #whoever wins i'll make them a member lmao #also i might have forgotten someone idk i think these are all the core members #and i know for a fact i probably spelt someones name wrong 😭 i did double check but knowing me 💀 #and yeah feel free to add reasons/opinions/whatever i love reading tags :] #also this would be assuming they join like after college or something idk #when they join isnt that relevant #i know like a very base level info about them but a lot of it is based off spin offs which isnt fair to them at all so

Due to being a YHS/TS veteran and forcing myself to rewatch Tokyo Soul, I have to unfortunately remind everyone that Taurtis is vocally into Monster fucking. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

#original post #the introvert has spoken! #yhs #shitpost #yandere high school #samgladiator #yandere highschool #tokyo soul #Taurtis #yhs taurtis #ts Taurtis #from the two clips i can remember off the top of my head Taurtis has stated 'ive never dated a goat before' #tried to get with someone he thought was a goat character #still wanted to get with said character once he saw a tail and ears #has stated making our with Cthulhu is “one of his fantasies” #ik we joke yhs Grian is into this stuff but have we checked on Taurtis #Taurtis is more vocal than Grian is #suggestive #suggestive cw #as a YHS/TS veteran its mandatory to share one disturbing fact to newbies #and because its funny

sibling art pt 2!!!

second ask of the day and please do not feel obliged to answer either I just think you deserve to see this

they captioned this one "in honour of og Fairy being a dog"

The sensitive stomach of a dog girls VS the urge to eat whatever falls on the floor

#mdzs #equineswap au #xiao pingguo #little apple #lan wunian #fairy #Thank you and your sibling so much for this lovely art AND comic!!! Its incredibly sweet!! #I also appreciate you taking the pressure off of me posting (but also this comic is *too good* to stay hidden in my inbox/folder of joy) #Fairy is also such a mood. For me specifically. #I think most of my friends can attest to the fact I am notorious for eating things I should not #I've gotten food poisoning from things you wouldn't even think someone would attempt #There have been near scuffles as I make a dive for food that falls on the ground at the same time a pal is trying to say 'No thats Garbage! #Back to fairy...I'm hitting the gavel and declaring her both a 'tummy hurts all the time' girl #and also a 'will eat things without checking its edibility' girl. #jin ling is a dog that is so picky he wont eat anything off the floor. So someone's gotta do it.

[wof-reworked]

I’ve been thinking, and I think I’m going to change the way I talk about my headcanons and wof writing to something like a rewrite/reworking. I love wof but it’s become really apparent that the way I engage with it is really more as a world to expand and work in vs a book series I’m analyzing as-is. I think it’ll give me the freedom to actually post the stuff I’m thinking and working on bc I don’t have to keep chaining myself to making it work with all the confusing and contradictory canon tidbits that Tui barely remembers she established. Thoughts?

#this is no shade at all to ppl who do focus on headcanons/analysis I love you all and I’m giving all of you a kiss on the cheek /p #but it’s frustrated me for a long time #I think it’ll also help attract like. the convos I want to be having?? #since like. rn i feel like all I do is reblog art I like bc I feel like I’m on a way different wavelength than my mutuals #idk I write these honestly to see what other people do and think about them and to get out my own thoughts abt a world I do really love #but idk if all of you are here for jobs/canon compliant hcs/fanart it feels like I’m driving an unnecessary wedge in my blog #not to imply a rework wouldn’t be canon compliant #if I wanted to really make my own story with dragons I’d just. go do that #but needing to fact-check everything to see if I’m accidentally contracting smth is getting really tiring #and I know it’s not like. necessary to writing hcs but it’s how *I* do them if that makes sense #I wouldn’t feel right posting things I knew went against the authors world bc like. that matters to someone #even if that someone is only me #anyway rant over #sunny rambles

[transmascrage]

It's interesting how whenever I look at a denier's bio 99% of the time they're tme.

#also i think that vaguepost is about me lol #anyways real talk I'm sick of cis people thinking their duty in defending trans women means attacking trans men is fair game #in fact that they should attack us because it's the right thing to do to protect trans women #transandrophobia #also really really sick of my long ass posts being condensed down to a couple sentences of shit i never said #also the post makes no sense #ah yes MRAs are well known for liking feminism and discussing it #so of course a trans man liking a post about feminism means he's a TMRA! it checks our #ALSO i don't trust anyone who says 'i love being evil' or any variation of that l #1. it's edgy as hell #2. it's just an excuse to be an asshole and get away with it just like people who say 'I'm just brutally honest uwu' #also i have mentioned hetalia but maybe once?? maybe this is about someone else idk all ex hetalia fans are trans men now. all of us. #unless this person thinks the 'italian' in my bio is like a roleplay thing

A story in images. @sangoundercover dropped new art today and broke a good portion of WN Twitter. I love Cheska very much, she’s hilarious and so sweet.

#Cheska getting jump scared by truly sensational but also sinful (sin-sational?) fanart #Sango kills us every time #and has claimed yet another victim #Cheska is so fucking funny #and she and her husband are both just such genuine fans of the show it’s both endearing and relatable #but also the fact that it intersects with her professional life is WILD #she does a great job of hyping up the fandom #(and also keeping them in check) #she also just has some genuinely delightful insights both to the show. life in general. and legally blonde the musical. #anyway I’m talking too much in these tags i’m maybe a little high #pfp and Twitter names (poorly) blurred out bc I’m not sure about cross-platform etiquette #so erring on the safe side idk #I just think this whole interaction is funny and charming #and as someone who until recently was only on Tumblr and would have missed all these interactions #I kinda wanted to share it here #Warrior Nun #Twitter #Avatrice #personal

[wholesomepostarchive]

the most wholesome thing is seeing that the wholesome post blog runner is probably one of the nicest people ever :3 i’m generally Terrified of sending asks especially to a blog that Does Things like this but seeing you talk in the tags instead of just reblogging and moving on makes you seem very friendly and approachable !!!! and i hope u know i appreciate that :] i hope you have a wonderful day and both sides of your pillow are always cool and that if you see a random cat on the sidewalk it won’t run away from U ♡

woah, META-WHOLESOME!! thank ya for the compliment, i try my best to carry out those kinds of traits i value!!!!! i’m SUPER super glad that ya did!!! THANK YOU THANK U!! always appreciating how much of an impact this lil blog has on top of appreciating u for sharing as much with me :-)

it’s always a TRIP getting to hear that something i do that i wasn’t even really mindfully doing makes all the difference?? i’m just really, REALLY grateful for all the different kinds of posts that get sent my way and seeing cool + uplifting + sentimental + OVERALL WHOLESOME posts that i express my thanks + ramble a bit in the tags haha !!

i ALSO hope you have as terrific of a day as you’re able to! and i hope you’ll enjoy seeing more posts pop up!

AND YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE but i got new pillow cases like a week ago THAT DO JUST THAT! AND THERE’S A NEW CAT ON THE STREET WHO HANGS OUT WITH ME SOMETIMES (i’ve been planning to see if he has a microchip, but i know for a fact that the neighbors who feed all the stray cats on our street already have a cage + are well-versed in TNR, so i’ve been thinking about asking them first because the thought that someone could be out there looking for their pal is enough for me to “do it scared”) !! SO THANK U NOT ONLY FOR THE SWEET SENTIMENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE UNEXPECTED HILARITY OVER THE FACT THAT THEY’VE COME TRUE???

#and i get it!! running a gimmick blog (as i’ve heard it be described) is v v different from the other blogs i’ve got going!! #ik i’ve said it in the past but i genuinely think what makes for the lack of ambiance is the fact that i didn’t really? start this blog out #as a gimmick blog in mind?? it was kind of just for me to ‘archive’ Solidly Wholesome posts in one place #by the dates i saw/read through them + let them flow over me. because there’s already a timestamp ya know? #but the Vision was that i’d go through this blog + see that a year ago on a particular day was Important #which is still something i do when i have the the time BUT now i ALSO get sent wholesome posts!!! which WOAH #became a collective effort whether you’ve mentioned me in one post or climbing up to the triple digits now haha!!! i appreciate them all #TRULY :-) #and i’ll also admit that i don’t really remember if i kept the ask + submission channels open because i thought ‘hey maybe i’ll get one #or two someday from someone?’ or if i kinda forgot to close ‘em because i think i only block Anonymous automatically for all the blogs #i’ve got?? THAT will probs be a mystery for a long time to come if not forever BUT am glad it’s all worked out in ways i never saw coming!! #also APOLOGIES FOR NOT ONLY RAMBLING IN THE TAGS BUT THE ASK!! #Apple Pie is defs a priority for me rn and i’ve done some research + talked to my neighbors about TNR being the best bet in our area #last we spoke anyhow which was some time ago #also my parents apparently got into taking stray cats to a TNR program a few cities over so i’ll ask ‘em too probably??? #BUT FIRST THING’S FIRST: checking for a microchip #10/13/2023 #asks #wholesomepostarchive

[toytulini]

Okay i have yet to see a post about this that isnt filled with ppl being Annoying as Fuck on it, but,

theyve found wreckage of the submersible, it imploded (thank god, thats better than a drawn out suffocation over the course of several days, implosion means it was pretty much instantaneous) and the us navy have revealed they heard a weird sound on sunday from about where communication with the sub was lost, that was probably the sound of the implosion, [implied that they didnt say anything cos they didnt want to jump to conclusions without evidence of a wreckage, if there was a chance they were still alive.] no idea what the banging sounds were.

I do hope rescue efforts are extended to the migrants off the coast of greece, and am angry and horrified at their mistreatment, and that the media clearly cares less for their fates than that of the billionaires on the sub.

also, while i have you here,

The difference between a submersible and a submarine is not that one is safer. The titan was a submersible that was unsafe, but that is not because it was a submersible.

A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.

A submersible is a watercraft designed to operate underwater, usually supported by a nearby surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine.

submarines generally dont go as deep as our deepest submersibles, but some can be down there for months at a time bc it is like. a self sufficient Ship. not all submersibles can go crazy deep, but to my knowledge, the only crewed vessels that can go that deep, are submersibles. (Alvin, deepsea challenger, limiting factor, trieste, fendouzhe or "striver").

#toy txt post #titan submersible #if ppl start being annoying on this post. ill turn off reblogs and block all of you. make your own post. #reblog the other ones where people are already being annoying #yes i hate billionaires. but im glad it was a quick death. it was a horrific situation. hope those migrants are given support and help. #i hope oceangate is fined to hell and back and bankrupted and never gets to put anyone in any sort of vehicle ever again #especially not in the ocean. im a little glad that ceo is dead in his own stupid sub im just frustrated he was able to take other ppl with #him. the fact that he was able to operate that unregulated non safety standard meeting ass vehicle and charge people money to ride in it is #fucking insane and unconcioable however you spell that #and now i need to go shower real quick and try to get like. a little over 3hrs of sleep. which will suck but i did accidentally nap for #like? 2 hrs already so it doesnt suck as bad as it could. goodnight please dont be stupid on this post please please please #if you have a hot take on the situation im begging you to hot take it Some Where Else! thank you! good bye #im not gonna bother linking shit feel free to fact check just fuckin. google titan submersible. James Cameron is tossing his 2 cents in now #saw 2 separate articles on that already. thats fine i guess he has been down there in safer vehicles so i guess he can shit talk how unsafe #it is. anyway. saw someone in the comments of a post say it was a submersible bc it was too unsafe to be a submarine and i wanted to start #screaming. thats not what those fucking words mean! at all! god! #irl death #idk what else to tag #behave. bye
