You don't have to compete

"cozy bookstore" "cozy cafe with a bookshelf" "omg imagine if there was a place you could just sit and read at" we have this its called the library. you guys want to go to the library. the two college libraries near me have cafes inside and they are open to the public. people need to go to the library

Generally don't like the forbidden romance trope in contemporary straight media because who is stopping you from being together. That being said, "we can't be together because the school bully said it's not allowed so we'll just kill him and cause the downfall of our town" is a really funny concept well done Starkid

the crazy thing is if a historically accurate pirate movie came out it would be called woke propaganda. they were multi cultural crews that included black & indigenous men (and while some captains obviously held the prejudice of the time) a lot of crews treated them as equals. most ships were run on democratic systems of equal say, equal vote, equal share and they used to break pieces of jewelry apart so they’d all get the same amount of gold. they valued art (music and even put on plays) and had working conditions that were FAR better than the merchant ships and the british. piracy was in some cases a response an exploitive system and a lot of people who turned to the seas had been wronged by the rich, w sam bellamy’s crew even calling themselves robin hood’s men

If anyone is looking for ideas, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors has done decades of advocacy work in this area and fought for real improvements in saving birds. Their work on lights-out and preventing window strikes have had a big impact on the local ecosystem.

Maybe the most damming thing about Nolans odyssey is i haven’t seen a single gifset from it

I miss grammar checkers that were like "this is a typo" or "this verb tense is wrong" and not "I wanna rewrite this into an abomination"

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

Notice billions ain't even on there. Outliers something something.

what the fuck

@miata-detector I think I saw one

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
