cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it
"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
I feel like I've always thought this without realizing it.
Get your ribbon here
how is the word "cellphone" pronounced
chel-po-ne (CORRECT and GOOD answer)
kaey-poen (WRONG and BAD answer)
something else (????????)
see results
was originally gonna go with "dog" but decided to go for a longer word with more "reasonable" mispronunciations instead, but that ended up backfiring and now like half the people on this post think i actually pronounce it like this. guess you could say it was a bit of a. a b. it was a
it was a bit of a self-own
READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS
why might op have said that she wanted to choose a word with "more 'reasonable' mispronounciations"? what could the quotes around "reasonable" indicate? why did she say mispronunciations instead of pronounciations?
op writes that the post "backfired" and now "half the people on this post think i actually pronounce it like this." what might the word "backfired" mean in this context?
what words could "self-own" sound similar to, and how could that relate to the rest of the post?
This is art.
Scarlet/Violetâs Poor Performance Overshadows Bigger Problems
Preface â What follows is not a proclamation arguing that no one should have fun with the new PokĂŠmon games. People are allowed to enjoy what they enjoy. That sentiment can coexist alongside the fact that the game deserves a heavy amount of criticism. Criticism is not synonymous with hate. Often times, we criticize what we love most, because we want more for it/them, we want to see something/someone succeed, so we offer criticism as an opportunity for growth and improvement. If your initial reaction to criticism of something/someone you love is anger, it may be helpful to take a few deep breaths, consider the intentions of the criticism, and try as objectively as possible to examine whether there is any merit to the criticism before attempting to shut it down.
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who is mostly OK, but doesnât put in much effort? Sometimes theyâll do something special to remind you they care, but usually sacrifice other aspects of the relationship along the way? And you've loved them so long it's hard to acknowledge the faults, and even harder to let go?
Thatâs PokĂŠmon.
We are now at the end of the first weekend following Scarlet and Violetâs (S/V) release date, and what a weekend it was. Anecdotes about the horrendous performance alongside galleries of glitches have flooded the internet over the past few days, highlighting example after example of poorly optimized gameplay and occasional game-breaking bugs. The situation has gotten so severe that many players are requesting refunds for spending money on a triple-A official release that seems more like an alpha or beta version of the game. While the jury is out on exactly who is to blame (Gamefreak? Nintendo? The Switch hardware?), the answer to that question is a moot pointâthe fact remains that the game was released in this state despite similarly ambitious titles releasing on the same hardware with little to no problems at all, and now players are experiencing the consequences.
The biggest problem with the hype around performance issues is this: performance issues arenât the gameâs biggest problems. I definitely think they are the most egregious problems, and probably the most universally obvious ones, so maybe itâs good that these issues occurred so that the PokĂŠmon community can start more seriously considering the criticisms players have been vocal about for years. I myself wrote a piece following the release of Sword/Shield (Sw/Sh) discussing my disappointment in the game and the franchise as a whole, followed by another blog post offering suggestions on ways to breathe new life into the games while still maintaining the charm and allure of its predecessors.

i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think itâs important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, âiâm not the audience for thisâ and be able to just walk awayÂ
there doesnât have to be something wrong or âproblematicâ about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesnât mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. itâs just not for you.Â
Thereâs been several times when Iâve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I donât want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.
âThis is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of artâ is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul
too good a take to be left in the tags
my life is enhanced by not watching everything just to please the other people who enjoy those things. There are things I need to not have in my head.
I think this concept speaks to the inherent selfishness of people. Which is not to say that's a bad thingâit' just how humans are naturally inclined to determine their feelings or opinions on a thing. "Do -I- like this thing? No? Then it must be objectively 'bad' and anyone who likes it is fundamentally broken, doesn't understand it, or is lying." The trick is recognizing these inclinations and stopping them from happening out loud. Eventually we can reprogram to stop thinking such thoughts, but it often takes work and a real understanding of how varying taste is OK.
My friend told me I had to publish the drunk uquiz I made so here ya go: I assign you a uni major based on vibes
Hey op how tf did u assign me my actual major out of literally everything there is. Iâm scared of you
Hey op thatâs fucking terrifying.
The actual description of the Language / literature / linguistics / creative writing / media studies group could not have been a more inaccurate description of me. It was, however, categorically correct since I did major in English/Creative Writing.
i emailed them as a joke and they gave me a scarily realistic response and i was too scared o say anything back
i emailed them and i never got a reply, iâd like you to show yours
@masochist-incarnate this is the response I got
hundreds, perhaps billions

US state borders but they are based off rivers and mountains
@blinded-by-love
I think we should do this but leave Colorado alone so thereâs just an extremely jarring rectangle in one part of this
I like how you think.
But why does it look so evenly-spaced though?? I actually highly prefer this version of the map; let's do it.
Iâm sorry, what was that about Joe not being liberal enough for yâall?
Because me and my six figures worth of student loan debt would like a word.
Source
[Picture ID: Tweet from @itshilarybuff, October 5th âNot a drill: Joe Biden commits to eliminating student debt for those who make under $120k. Yâall Go Vote!!!â Below that is the quote tweet from NBC News showing a clip from a town hall in Florida.]
btw, his plan, as stated here, doesnât wipe my stupid loans, those arenât going away shy of economic miracle, and I still love this answer. Heâs talking specifically about killing loans going forward for people, and to handle the loans we already have, I copied from his website below.
From joebiden.com/beyondhs/#
More than halve payments on undergraduate federal student loans by simplifying and increasing the generosity of todayâs income-based repayment program. Under the Biden plan, individuals making $25,000 or less per year will not owe any payments on their undergraduate federal student loans and also wonât accrue any interest on those loans. Everyone else will pay 5% of their discretionary income (income minus taxes and essential spending like housing and food) over $25,000 toward their loans. This plan will save millions of Americans thousands of dollars a year. After 20 years, the remainder of the loans for people who have responsibly made payments through the program will be 100% forgiven. Individuals with new and existing loans will all be automatically enrolled in the income-based repayment program, with the opportunity to opt out if they wish. In addition to relieving some of the burden of student debt, this will enable graduates to pursue careers in public service and other fields without high levels of compensation. Biden will also change the tax code so that debt forgiven through the income-based repayment plan wonât be taxed. Americans shouldnât have to take out a loan to pay their taxes when they finally are free from their student loans.
That is much better than what the current set up does. Minus taxes and essential spending will be a fight over what that means depending where you live, but its a really good thing.
He also wants to help with job training so we donât all get these degrees that donât help us get dang jobs. And he wants to go after private for-profit universities. And he wants to better fun grant programs. and, and, and.
Most important of all? This guy listens. Sure, sure, politics is gonna politic, but millennials are the largest voting block in the country now. If we raise a fuss, it actually matters. But only if we vote.
Actually, let me just show you some math. Actual total of loans doesnât really matter above a certain point to be honest because the interest grows faster than you can pay them, so lets say youâre on that sinking ship, where the payment amount to actually pay them off would mean paying something like 2700 a month. obviously not gonna happen. So youâre on an Income Based Repayment Plan with your borrower. You can be asked to pay between 10 and 20% of your net income (depending on many factors)
Lets say youâre a single human person, working a good job, 60k a year; after tax, you have around 45k. Under Bidenâs plan, they start by taking 25k of that, putting it to the side and removing it from the calculus. Then. they take an amount off for essential spending. Donât know what that math works out to yet, so lets assume someone awful gets to decide it, and its 12.7k a year (the poverty line for a single human) Then, they only can bill you for 5% of the remainder. So.
60k - taxes = ~45k
45k - threshold = 20k
20k - essential spending = 7.3k
$7300 x 5% = $365 a year -or- $30 a month
Sure, Strife, thatâs a pipe dream, you say, what happens if the âessential spendingâ part dies in congress? Fair point, Congress is a sinkhole of evil. But lets see:
60k - taxes = ~45k
45k - threshold = 20k
20k x 5% = $1000 a year -or- $83 a month
Yeah, you say, but Iâm a curmudgeon and I want to assume the worst because I hate politicians, what if they lose the threshold, and only get the 5% through and everything else stays exactly the same?
In that case, it will straight up cut everyoneâs payments in half. Minimum. Whatever youâre paying now? Half that. In the case of the example above, that means
60k - taxes = ~45k
45k x 5% = $2250 a year  -or- $187 a month
So this guy is out here going after free college for the younger parts of GenZ and all of our kids. AND heâs going to make the loans we have into a much more bearable burden. PLUS. If you didnât see up there? That heâd kill the taxes paid on forgiven loans? Yeah, thatâs a thing right now. If you pay for 20 years, and end with 60k in loans to be forgiven, you pay taxes on the 60k all at once. Which means you owe the government around 15k. Which. Ironically. Usually means you have to take out another loan.
And this would apply to everyone, you can opt out if you wanna clear yours sooner, but you donât have to do the jump through hoops and beg routine like you do now.
This is a really really really good plan, folks, please look at something other than tumblr and fb, please look at his website, thereâs some really good stuff in there. If you donât understand, ask for clarification, bc there is so much good.
#the biden plans are heavily inspired by the progressives#Liz wrote parts#Bernie wrote parts#AOC wrote parts#the man is listening#so get him in office#and flip the senate#so Liz can drop a six inch binder called âplans to get shit doneâ on the desk#and make McConnell cry from his minority leader desk
Iâm sorry but you canât just leave this in the tags
Exactly. Biden is not as good a consensus builder as Elizabeth Warren (My first choice), but he is likely to *try* his bestâŚand we can slowly drag him to the left.
The only place we can drag Trump is jail.
Well...this didn't age well. :x Hopefully it's not too late and he does finally do something about it but bleh.
