Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."
this man could’ve made any soulsborne game his bitch

not a dream
Just remembered that a K-pop idol completely lost his career seven years ago when he announced that he was getting married and his former fans dropped him, started slandering him to everyone who'd listen just because he dared to 'go against them' and still attack him in 2021 because they're that pathetic. In an industry where other fans defend idols committing DUIs, SA, domestic violence, etc., all sorts of crimes basically, the one who got the worst treatment is the person who did nothing but pursue his happiness in his personal life, while still working hard in his professional life, which apparently doesn't matter because "oppa betrayed us when he got married!" It's so weird to think that Lee Sungmin is still person non grata in K-pop in 2021. He just dropped a song and a lot of people are acting like he doesn't exist. He was crazy famous before this. You wanna know what those fans hold against him, besides the fact that he's married? Apparently he signed some albums with his nickname, that his wife allegedly gave him, and didn't invite his superfan fansite (person who followed him to all his schedules prior to this and took photos of him) to his wedding, and since that person had a whole lot of influence in the whole fandom, they managed to turn everyone against him with fabricated tidbits that made people resent him. I don't know how they, as adults, read the list of complaints that they wrote up against him and think those things are rational. Even if they were heated back then, how can they stand behind it now, still, seven years later, when they had some distance and time to think about it? The fans said they would boycott the group he was in if his company (arguably one of the biggest South Korean entertainment agencies ever, home to SHINee, EXO, Super Junior, SNSD, NCT, SuperM, Red Velvet, Aespa, BoA) didn't kick him out of it, so they decided to listen to them and made him sit out every comeback ever since, despite still keeping him under contract, thus allowing the fandom a power that it never should've had. You're not entitled to control somebody's personal life just because you got to their concert or buy their album. It's so weird, so weird. The guy who was accused of beating up his pregnant girlfriend and pressuring her to have an abortion still has fans, the guy who was accused of being a pimp still has fans, but the guy who got married and never harmed anybody and always treated his fans nicely (except if they crossed the line, which they did, many times, where upon he would only ask them not to do things like that again) is the one who still has a hate mob against him and has his projects boycotted to this day?
A few years later, an idol from the same company, Chen of EXO, announced his upcoming marriage and fatherhood and to this day people still want him out of the group for it and I can't help but to feel that if the company didn't allow that first group of bully fans to act the way they did and put Sungmin on the backburner in order to placate them, they wouldn't have cultivated a culture of entitled fans thinking they could dictate how the idols and companies act. Now their idols have to deal with their mental health being destroyed by, on top of everyone else, obsessive fans who always skirt the line of love and hate and are ready to destroy them if they ever do anything that they're not happy with. Those fans stalk them to the point of buying their phone numbers, addresses and even airplane numbers so they could follow them around, they collect information about them while they're stalking them, spread them amongst their toxic group of stalkers and hold those things against them for blackmail purposes.
They hold protests in front of the company building demanding things, like for example, this #ChenOUT protest, where they demanded EXO Chen be kicked out of the group for starting a family (he's also been sort of put on the backburner to placate these folks, despite how pathetic their protests have been).
These fans are so creepy that they'll find a way to sit next to their faves on their plane by buying info about their rides and bribing the staff to get those seats.
They'll crash idols' graduations and show up uninvited to their schedules in different countries, like it happened to NCT Mark (and how creepy it is that the poor boy had stalkers ever since his teen years, some of which were adults).
(MisteryStranger and "Mark in my Heart" are the names of the fansites run by those stalkers.)
There's a stalker fan (sasaeng in Korean), who even followed SHINee's Onew to the jungle!
IN BRAZIL!
It's not just this company whose artists are experiencing problems with stalker fans, sasaengs. The biggest group in the world, BTS, experienced similar things from stalkers. I'm pretty sure most groups go through experiences like that, just to different extent.
There's an idol called Jaejoong whose home was broken into while he slept and the sasaeng who did it took photos of him sleeping and posted it to the internet to brag about what she had done.
It's one of the worst invasions of privacy I've ever heard of and companies should focus less on pleasing stalkers and more on protecting their artists and that's that!
THIS, all of this, is cringe af. We also need to hold K-pop companies accountable for the "training" idols have to go through where they are instructed to romanticize their relationship with the fans. It's not the idols' fault that some deluded fans can't understand the difference between "fanservice" and reality, but K-pop idols would have better lives if the companies stopped with that "Save your ring finger for oppa" bullshit. I understand that the whole romanticized relationship with fans is a part of the idol deal but maybe that needs to go?
The companies really were the ones who started all this mess and continue perpetuating it! But then you have idols like U-Kwon who from debut refuses acting in a 'boyfriendly manner' with his fans because he has a girlfriend and what did that get him? Unfortunately, anti fans who still share made up stories about him being allegedly rude at fansigns (BY/FOR REFUSING TO PRETEND TO BE THEIR BOYFRIEND AND NOT WANTING TO CALL THEM GIRLFRIENDS) and you really can't win as an idol in the K-pop industry. Even when you draw a straight line, you're at fault somehow.
On a side note, this is my favorite gif of Sungmin and his wife Saeun from their wedding. I am sure it makes a lot of people seethe with rage.
Wait do people honestly believe they are paying more taxes than Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and/or Mark Zuckerberg?
Because it’s convenient.
I like how they seem to think CRT critics - who are mostly anti-Wokesters - will listen to generic tankie memes. Almost as if this is actually slagging off the right while pretending to be advice.
And nothing BNF actually said proves CRT shouldn’t be a concern, it’s just Appeal to Worse Problems.
At least the bulk begging email from my congressman was honest and said tax rate, well not honest because mine is still lower but they tried at least.
yesterday I was at gamestop and a man in full Data cosplay walked up to the front counter and I did a double take so hard I nearly broke my neck. So, he walks up and the cashier just casually smiles and goes “How’s it going, Data? What can I do for you?” and Data goes, “I am doing quite well. I was just wondering when you guys would have Destiny 2 in stock.” This mans……literally did not smile or emote at all. He went all in. The cashier was totally non fazed. I, however, was completely shitting my pants cos ya’ll DO NOT understand how good this dude’s cosplay was. It really looked like fuckin data teleported into the middle of game stop in rural ohio to ask about motherfucking destiny 2.
The only time he broke character was when I was stealthily trying to stare at him and thinking about asking for a pic when he was walking out.This dude. Looked at me, completely expressionless. and WINKED at me. Someone collect ya mans he wildin lmfao
The wink isn’t even really ooc I think he would totally do that
[ID: Picard, aggravated, speaking to Geordi: “I wanna see Data”]
I took a college course on the history of cars in film, and the shit I learned about freeways blew my mind. They purposely got rid of a trolley system and replaced them with city busses that were bad ON PURPOSE. They wanted 2 cars at every home, so they really made a point to sabotage the public transportation system. Make it so people hated busses.
Freeways also destroyed homes, and caused a lot of pollution. I watched a video about how children were getting sick from the sudden pollution.
This makes me especially furious when bus transport is such an incredible tool for public transport--when done right. unlike trolleys and trains, which require laying tracks (and sometimes massive tunneling projects), installing a bus system simply requires the individual vehicles and bus stops (signs and benches, in the most simple form). that makes it cost effective for small cities and towns that can't or won't invest in the overhead for larger projects. also bus routes can be easily adjusted--unlike, say, a trolley that goes down the same set of tracks every time. Buses have huge potential! Unfortunately, all these benefits also make them easier for politicians and lobbyists to quietly sabatoge.
Even so, in some places we do have good bus-based transportation systems--such as in university towns that have a vested interest in providing public transport to campuses that are already very tight on parking space. Some cities and towns also do a decent job with their bus systems--but that is highly dependant on local politics, and there is always a risk of wealthy interest groups getting involved and fucking with things. Ironically, some of the best proof we have that buses are a good mass transport option come from private bus systems set up by companies like Apple and Tesla which use buses to transport thousands of their own employees, who would otherwise be stuck in a broken system of enormous commute times--where everyone else is stuck.
Anyway. Everything the original post says is correct--public transport had been criminally sabatoged in the U.S. And it is costing people jobs, livelihoods, and access to basic necessities like hospitals and grocery stores. It's not glamorous, but it is an enormous quality-of-life and class issue, and I'm relieved to see more people talking about it.
Invest in public transport, in public housing, in libraries, in education. Invest in public services. These are the heart and soul of a functioning society, and they pay for themselves a thousand times over.

issue: the kittens are still trying to learn words. gus knows his name and daisy knows hers, but they don’t seem to quite grasp that when I say “babies!” im referring to both of them.
hypothesis: “babies” is too similar to “daisy” and they’re getting confused
test: start saying “gamers” instead
Outcome: they’re understanding it and it’s hysterically funny
me, calling down the hall from stirring a can of cat food: LET’S GO, GAMERS
the kittens:
If ghosts are real, some might have watched you masturbate.
I wouldn't have friends without the Internet due to physical disability and other problems and living miles from them. Don't bitch about phones they keep us connected in some way imagine how we'd be without them. Probably the same as when I was younger which was lonely as fuck.
People who think this planet was created for humans to be ours are so wild to me
70% of the planets surface is undrinkable uninhabitable death water that sharks love. How is that a human-centric design.

Houma, Lafitte, Vacherie, and Port Fourchon are underwater as well due to Hurricane Ida. I’ve read some rescue tweets of people stating there’s a number of residents (one being a pregnant woman) who are trapped in their attics after trying to escape the rising water. There’s power outages in New Orleans and other Parishes. as well as some parts of Mississippi.
All of this in the middle of a pandemic…
I have friends in New Orleans that I haven’t heard from since yesterday. I’m hoping they received that alert that the electricity isn’t estimated to be returned until a month from now for New Orleans and other Parishes. Yes, a whole fucking month. However, the transmission tower is nonexistent at this point.
From this:
To this:
Was the 30-day estimate for everyone to receive power before or after they seen this demolished structure? I can’t even wrap my head around this. Complete devastation from what they’re experiencing and the lack of media coverage.
Has tumblr gotten over its Green bros hate yet cuz this made me snort
Not the celebrity news we ever expected to read, but the celebrity news we deserve to read.

A fun thing to do this Halloween is say "who are you dressed as" to any man dressed very clearly as the joker. Follow it with a "ohhhh right, I kinda see it"
