Hello there

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.

like. tanrak looks at those statues as a child and it brings him comfort knowing eventually, one day, when he dies and goes to heaven, he can have that. in tanrak's mind, god will one day give him that loving, happy family that was so cruelly taken from him on earth. seeing it brings him comfort, even so many years later, because he still holds onto that faith and that belief that one day, he'll get that.

but barth looks at it and it makes him so upset and uncomfortable he has to walk out of the church. because when barth looks at it, he sees the thing god took from him. he sees a happy family that he doesn't get to have because of god. because god is what has driven a wedge between him and his parents, because their beliefs have made him an imperfect son in their eyes.

one of the hardest things for me as an adult who was raised in catholicism and now chooses not to raise my own children that way is trying to sit with them with the ideas of death and mortality. experiencing this made it so obvious to me why organized religions that focus on the afterlife concept are still so appealing. who wants to accept that it's possible we just stop existing?

when they come to me struggling with this I do my best to give them solace and support and understanding without glossing over what I believe to be true. when they go to relatives or talk with friends who hold christian beliefs and they tell them about heaven, my kids instantly chose to believe that.

listen up fellas cause horrible quality aside i find myself already going through the shots and this one particularly drives me CRAZY.

Who is gonna talk about their choice to put Barth right at the bottom of the stairs to heaven, and Tanrak amongst demons, threatening to corrupt everyone on the right path with their sinful ways? Even though it is Tanrak who is, from a catholic standpoint, fifty steps closer to god than Barth and Barth the one with the seemingly corrupting influences that’ll push Tanrak to sin and lose his faith?

Not to speak of the school crest and statue of mary on Tanraks side of the shot and the open door and the clock on Barths. There is also the reflection of light and the windows visible right there, while Tanraks side is gloomy and dark except for that one speck of light on mary.

It’s a very, very deliciously arranged shot and it makes clear where they want us to position ourselves, as if that’s not a given. Cause they make it pretty clear that Barth is on the right side. That Barth is closer to true revelation, to a way out, to light, to happiness, that it’s only a matter of time until he’ll leave all of this behind and it will be the right choice, that his decision to reject catholic dogma is the way to salvation, while Tanrak is still caught in literal hell between the influences of the school and his desire to see his parents again.

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.
