Recently Youtube's algorithm really wants me to watch Schindler's List and I never had so the other night I sat down and actually watched it.

Having a lot of thoughts about it but a major one I keep coming back to is how even an immensely and deeply flawed human being can go against "just following orders" and instead put in the work to actually help.

It may never be fully enough. It may never save as many as you'd hoped. But when you have a choice to either follow orders or save your fellow humans in front of you, I hope you choose the latter.

Schindler died in poverty. He was not a renown war hero nor was he at all famous or widely beloved. But he saw that he could help, even in some small way, and so he helped.

He was a Nazi who saw what the Nazis were doing to Jews and said no more. Enough. If I can even spare those under my charge, maybe a few extras, then at least I will have tried to do something about this.

I think a lot of people do not fancy this type of activism. It is messy, dangerous, and often completely thankless. Schindler survived as long as he did after the war due to those he saved helping him with donations. He was not popular in his hometown due to his association with Nazis, he was not popular in Germany, he was not popular in Argentina. His businesses all failed. His wife left him. A movie about his deeds was released several years after his death, where he would receive none of the benefits. He went to prison multiple times for simply refusing to hate Jews.

I think a lot of people like to think they're activists, but are sorely unprepared for doing this type of work, and then in truth become activists in name only. This is hard work. But without him, another thousand or so people would be on that death toll.

He took his position of extreme power- a Nazi owning a factory almost entirely operated by Jews, making oodles of money off that cheap slave labor- and said you know what? No. I'm not doing that. I can't save everyone, but as long as they are within my factory, you will not kill my workers. As long as I'm here you aren't harming one hair on the head of any Jew under my care. You're not sending or keeping them in Auschwitz. You're not randomly executing them for entertainment. They're people. You're not murdering them.

"Just following orders" they say. But they didn't have to. They could have helped. They could have did what he did, look around and say "what the fuck am I doing here", and stop. He did. They could have. They didn't.

#I think it's also intereating that he did not do it out of compassion at first #he did it because it was smart capitalism #jewish labor was super cheap and they were desperate to be considered fit to work because otherwise execution was waiting for them #only after the cleansing of the ghetto did he say whoa okay holy shit yeah no I'm not doing this anymore #that's also true of the real man the movie is about #I also think it's interesting that not everyone he saved thinks he was a good person #but even still despite his flaws they respect and admire what he did for them #his motives were not always pure #but the fact of the matter is that when he saw what was happening he chose to act against it #he did not shrug and saw welp orders are orders #nor did he succumb to hopelessness when it became difficult to keep up what he was doing

Same As The Day I Lost You

I...

This came to me as I'm making dinner so I'll be quick.

What if we mix deaged Danny and twin/older sibling (either one works) Damian, AND he gets tossed to his sibling in a last minute escape.

Like what if he was fighting Vlad who was doing his whole "denounce your father and join me as my son Daniel!" Thing while in the Zone and knocks Danny into something that's floating in the Zone with the ability to deage or was hit by a new Fenton or Plasmius invention while fighting in town that accidentally deages him.

Danny, who in this was adopted, gets put back to the age of six. The same age he had been found by Jazz in a 'haunted' forest Jack and Maddie were visiting/investigating while also using that time as a family vacation. (They were shocked to see a little boy with a stab wound bleeding out and rushed him to the nearby town, almost completely forgetting about the glowing green tiny puddle they found nearby and bagged most of it as evidence when they heard Jazz's scream of terror over finding the hurt little boy)

The sudden revert into that traumatized age, along with the child response to a fight or flight scenario, and add Danny's deepest need/wish to be protected his child fogged mind wishes to go to the one person who always made him feel safe.

His twin/older brother.

Just as quick as it was with Danny being turned into a child, his ghost powers ripped open a portal and sent Danny to the person he wants to be with...

Only he didn't know that right at that moment his seventeen year old twin/older brother is currently fighting the League with his family's help (his mother was trying to convince him to return to the League and be it's heir) in Nanda Parbat (the very place Damian lost the last/only person he knew loved him without any strings attached.)

So imagine everyone's face when a portal opened up, some muttering its a new pit being formed before them or something, and crawling out of it is a very scared and confused six year old Danny.

#danny phantom dc #danny fenton #danny phantom #dp x dc #crossover #dc x dp crossover #No one will be ready for child Danny #Does he have his older memories? idk maybe #maybe his six year old mind from the sudden deage is at front rn or something #Damian almost feral/angry screams at his mother for 'daring to try to replace Danyal with a cheap clone' #only to see the look on her face and knows this wasn't planned #his little brother who he secretly watched as his mother tried to go behind grandfather's back to heal only for the pit to greedily keep #was brought back by the pits not looking a day over the age he lost him #What happened was Danny disobeyed an order from Ra's and was punished for it #he almost died for it and Talia wanted very badly to keep him because he looked so much like her beloved and she couldn't bare losing that #Only the pits kept Danyal instead of bringing him back #or rather under the guide of a certain entity he was brought to the forest the Fenton's were visiting #Damian scoops Danyal up when he see's the look in his mother's eyes shift from shock to calculating greed/love #he refuses to leave his brother in the hands of the League or his mother #he loves her despite everything but knows Danyal would never truly survive their mother's version of 'love' especially in the League #Also Damian may have...refused/forgotten to tell the others about Danyal #so cue them being horrifically confused #The pure sick feeling and deep seeded panic Bruce feels when he see's the mini version of himself but with hints of Talia hits hard #blue rambles

Based on Kristen’s entire vibe in the first episode I’m 99% sure she and Tracker are over and yes I am sad but I KNOW Ally is going to deliver to us the most juicy, delicious, messy, toe-curlingly cringe high school lesbian break up drama that has ever existed and I’m so fucking excited

#maybe I’m not even that sad #it just seems realistic that your first high school relationship especially one as crazy codependent as trackerbees doesn’t end in marriage #like it would feel cheap and boring if they were just like “every one of these multiple relationships between high schoolers #are still together and gonna live happily ever after #like that really doesn’t happen #I also think Gorgug and zelda broke up however I think they were cool and chill about it #whereas Kristen is a MESS #dimension 20 #fhjy #d20 #kristen applebees #trackerbees #tracker o'shaughnessey #gorgug thistlespring #zelda donovan #the bad kids

Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop saying that Mrs. Bennet is the only one "taking the situation seriously."

She is not.

Screaming about a problem doesn't mean you are taking it seriously. If she was taking it seriously, she'd have given her girls a proper education and advocated for saving for dowries. Her little schemes around Jane don't count as taking it seriously.

No one is taking the situation seriously.

#mrs. bennet #screaming into the void #pride & prejudice #also with five girls a governess would have been so cost effective #and they were cheap #they easily could have afforded it

They reopened the last floor of the National Archeological Museum after over two years! 🥰 All the reforms look incredible, we were so stunned. If you are in or visit Madrid you should definitely check it out!!

My betrothed and I are heading off on our unofficial honeymoon this weekend. We’re driving my car, Hades, down to the redwoods.

So I’ve spent all morning getting Hades tidied up and running errands and my last stop was an oil change. So it was a huge bummer when they told me my coolant is boiling.

From a quick google it could just be a faulty thermometer which should be quick. My fingers are crossed that it’s nothing serious.

#ramblies #the oil people were really sweet about it #I hope it’s a quick cheap fix but let’s be real. how often is that the case

“killing off deeply traumatized character that was so close to happiness and healing after all they have been through is bad writing” is such a deeply unserious criticism and so many of you keep pretending like it isnt

#many different versions of this take exist even if at first glance it is wrapped in a more intellectual packaging #like im not saying u cannot come for certain stories like this im sure some are executed like shit and cheap but this by itself is #is so stupid im sorry #lol #i see cries of shockvalue when it really wasnt and u r just mad that ur blorbo’s story was a tragedy #and treated as tragedy #and it made u sad #not talking about got bc i do think most of those were bad for a plethora of reasons but even then if u come at it from this angle #its unserious

(from Gabi Belle's video "How Dropshipping Ruined Online Shopping")

YES OMG. I went to an anime convention a few months ago and saw SO many cheap bootlegs being sold as if they were authentic items. Being an experienced collector, I have a good eye for bootlegs so it didn't affect me, but I couldn't help but think of all the people who were duped into buying a crappy $30 bootleg that they could have gotten on Aliexpress for like $2.

#the most egregious case was this one person selling these beautiful light-up displays of fake bonsai trees with figures perched on them #they were going for well over $100 each #but when I actually looked at the figures it was obvious they were cheap bootlegs that probably cost the seller less than $10 #the light up displays were probably from AliExpress or Temu as well #it just pissed me off because finding authentic figures for relatively cheap is very possible on sites like Yahoo Auctions Japan #but it's not as easy and cheap to use a proxy as it is to just order directly through a site like Temu #so guess what people choose to do instead #dropshipping #anti dropshipping #anime #figure collecting

Do you have any examples of shows that handle speech impediment representation well? As someone with a speech impediment, it’s frustrating to constantly see it used only in the contexts of “This person is socially awkward” or “This person has something wrong with them,” etc.

Nothing comes to mind — you're right that there's tons of examples, and most suck. Like, I'll give partial credit to Umbrella Academy for Diego's stutter, Septimus Heap for Sep's selective mutism, and It for Bill's stutter/lisp. They all get the usefulness of speech path, and the way that stress or tiredness can mess you up. But all three also have "I can't be successful unless I talk normatively" crap, and both It and Umbrella Academy briefly have the stutter be the butt of a joke.

Does anyone else have examples that are actually good? Please help.

#speech impediment #disability #speech pathology #it #septimus heap #umbrella academy #the RAGE when lilah mocked diego's stutter in season 3 #like - y'all were doing well! 7/10! #and then you just fucking *had to* go there #for the sake of your stupid mean cheap laugh

I would love MC who gets braids and acrylic nails. But telling dudes the PRICE, crazy... Example:

MC: Yeah, so i went to the salon that did hair and nails, just to get things done quicker!

Beel: I like them, its cute!

MC: Thank you love! cue the mc smile

Lucifer: They are quite nice, i'm sure you worked hard for them...

MC: I mean, the nails were only $130, and the hair was only like- $210. Not a big deal!

Mammon: HUH??? ALLAT CASH FOR SOME HAIR AND NAILS???

Asmo and MC in unison: ITS A NECESSITY!!!

It’s absolutely necessary!!!

Next thing you know Mammon is asking Asmo and MC for tips on how to do nails / hair- no real reason ofc!!! He’s not scheming planning anything!!!-

#no but really some of them will just think that’s absolutely ridiculous #meanwhile Asmo is chatting with MC about how cheap the nails were jsjsjs #obey me! #moot mail!

So anyway you repeatedly say we only feel corn husks and similar inedible parts to cattle but Never add a source to back it up. Having worked on farms I’m afraid for the most part the feeds I’ve seen have been parts entirely edible to humans. And like fuck man 5% of all grown soy is fed to humans or however the stat goes, do you really think the remaining 95% is inedible? really?

Anyway yeah I’m asking for a source here cause I don’t want to add this on to months old post

Ingredients such as “grain by-products” are referring to the husks, stalks, and other “green” parts of the plant that we humans don’t actually have the digestive capabilities to eat. The breakdown of most livestock feeds looks like the above when you actually take a look at it.

Different cattle feed, similar ingredients. Still primarily things that, and I have to stress this, you cannot eat. This one is slightly higher in quality and does indeed have actual grain products included. Some of those are edible to humans. Some are not. Generally cattle are fed cattle cubes with supplemental mineral licks and hay. Some also supplement with whole corn, but I can gladly assure you that corn is not in short supply and even if all the corn sold to animal feed was donated to the poor, you can’t actually live off of corn because there’s very little nutrition in it. Hence why in both human and animal food it’s typically seen as a filler ingredient. Keeps the mouth busy with a meal without making your stomach feel full and you end up eating more without feeling satisfied.

Soybeans are really only often used in feed for pigs because they’re a great source of protein for these animals. I would state that soy is also a terrible option to use as an emergency food for humans in need because while, yes, it is indeed a healthy bean, it’s also one of the top eight foods that humans are frequently allergic or intolerant towards. I’d also ask you for whether your 5% of all grown soy statistic is referring to the beans or the entire plant because yeah the beans are the edible part. The rest of the plant isn't especially healthy for humans to eat. I would say the beans are around 5% of a mature soy plant sure.

#No offense anon but when you come here with ACTUALLY MOST OF WHAT FARM COWS EAT IS HUMAN FOOD and bring up SOY in the discussion of COWS #I somewhat doubt you actually have much experience farming #because no actually cattle benefit from the green parts of the plant more than the bean parts in most cases #corn is used as a cheap supplemental feed because it’s cheap and it’s cheap because there’s so so SO much of it #And corn isn’t grown in special livestock only plantations when it’s used as feed as opposed to human food either #corn is grown en masse and processed and then sold to various companies which use the corn for various things #if animal feed companies stopped buying corn and that corn was instead bought by human food companies #that doesn’t mean corn would be any more or less accessible to the hungry #because it would go to grocery stores and TV dinner companies and sauce companies and soda companies and so on #and it would still be sold same as always #world hungerTM isn’t caused because people can’t afford corn #corn is dirt cheap and most people can afford it #it’s just barely a step above eating sand and you can’t live off of it #I’ve gone a few days only eating corn products because they were cheap #and shocking no one I had no energy and felt just as hungry after each bowl as I had before the last #people cannot survive off of that #giving corn to livestock isn’t taking away any resource of value from humans #sorry it just isn’t
