Never have I seen a cat so tolerant of having things put upon it.

As an indigenous person: why would someone defend coal and oil here on the basis of harminf indigenous people!?!?! Do you know nothing about anything!?!? Has the only information you've seen about the ways indigenous people are harmed by power generation made by coal and oil companies!?!? Did you not see the dsstruction of indigenous sacred sites and water contamination!? That shit still happens all the time, just because the media isn't paying attention as much as it was doesn't mean it isn't still happening!!!

@theo-the-cat-guy It's because most white liberals don't actually think of indigenous people as human beings with thoughts and opinions of their own. They see them as spirits to evoke to make their arguments better.

also love how the original metaphor of “nailing jello to a tree” is about trying to force your bizarre and arbitrary will on something that is categorically disinclined to do such a thing, for no conceivable reason.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

Counteroffer: Big dramatic cloak to protect your identity that you drop on the floor before every fight

I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

Important note! Megamind’s cape has a button to detach it, thus avoiding any of the Edna Mode Prophesied Accidents

the thing about capitalism is that at a certain point a product reaches its maximum audience and cant really be improved (at least not while remaining profitable), but capitalism requires a product provide infinite growth, and at that point the only way to increase profits is to raise prices, cut corners, and in the case of services start adding advertisements. this is just how the system works.

The Yellowstone Wolves is the first case we study in any Ecology class, since it's the best example on how interconnected the ecosystem is - there's no direct reason why the presence of wolves would change the course of the rivers, but through a series of little things, it does. It's a reminder that everything is important, everything has a role in nature, and how the extinction of a population can bring an entire ecosystem down.

I learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure

This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it

idk who needs to hear this but it’s healthier for you to just accept that you’re gonna be kinda fat than it is to live the rest of your life miserably trying to monitor yourself to maintain a skinny weight your body doesn’t want to hold onto
