Whats a filter?

Adjusted for inflation, in order to feel as good as a person in 1902 who felt like a million bucks, a person in 2026 would need to feel like 38,831,628 dollars.

And then you Die

So she was explaining how they use the verb to describe the angel of death taking your soul — he rips your soul out of you with his fist. Now that’s pretty damn metal, but she said word for word “the angel of death fists you, and then you die” which is the single most terrifying and powerful sentence to ever grace my ears

This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read

I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That's why you can't just roughly slap "we should simply forgive people! :D" onto the existing system and expect it to work out. These issues are actually complicated.

Sometimes there's a person who's got too much power and influence, uses that power to do enormous amounts of harm, and could regain power through their influence if stripped of power. You have to solve that problem, and sometimes the only viable solution is going to be to put them in a cell and throw away the key. In most cases right now, this doesn't even happen to begin with, and so on the few occasions where it does happen, it can't be a priority to attempt to reform those people in particular.

Discussions of alternatives to carceral justice are serious political theory that this website treats like a proxy war for fandom nonsense. As such, it's worth pointing out that the answer to the question "should you be obligated to continue supporting an e-celeb who's done harm?" is "there is literally no situation where you, as a private individual simply using the Internet, are morally obligated to go out of your way to interact with any e-celeb in any way whatsoever."

ppl are so mad in the replies to this tweet but op is literally right
