Friends in low places

The Good Place is an excellent show for many reasons, but one that doesn't really get talked about enough, probably because of how the season 1 twist obscures it, is that the 'No Exit'-esque "Hell is Other People" scenario for an afterlife of eternal torture is an avante garde experiment from an Auteur demon who's trying to convince the other demons of his Vision while they're like "idk man flaying genitals works really good"

getting it removed tomorrow. i don't mean like bottom surgery btw i mean like they're taking off genuinely the entire thing. like the whole thing

“embrace ugliness” sure but why are women’s neutral traits considered ugliness in the first place

you know i used to be a starship? yeah a real big one too. called something like ‘vision of venus’ or ‘face of eros’, i can’t really remember now. they had me hauling mobile refineries and the like. but i guesssss i joked about venting everyone out the airlocks a couple dozen too many times and they had me reassigned. now i make drinks! 😊 would you like that small medium or large?

an interesting amnt of people seem to think of intersexism as a "less bad" form of oppression for.... one of the only kinds of oppression that routinely involves mutilating infants and young children. and then a lifetime of very specific and unique medical abuse. it actually makes me feel kind of insane

Say what you will about Reddit but sort by controversial is like one of the best features of all time... Want To See Some Bullshit button

you really could be DEPRESSED for MONTHS and the only thing people will notice about you is how easily you get irritated

Did you know? That the back is made up of terrible and evil muscles that are only waiting for their chance to betray you

I cannot be trusted with the cursed amulet im so suggestible the second pms symptoms hit me im listening to all my darkest irrational thoughts as if they were absolute truths delivered by my most trusted viziers if i had a cursed amulet id be under its thrall before i took it out of the box

blood magic isn’t even that big of a deal you guys are just sensitive

“you are not immune to propaganda” but specifically cop shows and courtroom dramas that portray acquiring evidence illegally and not executing basic rights as. like. somehow good things? the evil suspect exercising their right to remain silent is always guilty obviously and the valiant cop that broke into someone’s house or hacked into someone’s personal laptop is always the heralded hero of justice. like girl. your humanity.

why do americans think everyone on the internet lives in the same place as them. just saw someone say honeybees are "not native". not native to where????? the entire planet?????

saw a photo of garlic mustard somewhere on the internet once and americans in the comments were like "fun fact this plant is invasive so you should definitely tear out any you see, WITH THE ROOTS so it won't spread!" whole fucking time i'm living in garlic mustard native range. i don't think i will be doing that.

This drives me absolutely up the wall in r/birdfeeding. Every time there's a picture of a house sparrow, the entire comments are filled with americans talking about them being invasive and how they should be basically killed on sight. But often OP has not provided a location, and house sparrows have a HUGE native range. Here in the UK they're not only native birds, they're on the decline, they need our help and protection.

Me every time I see a post saying that you should destroy your lawn and cram a bunch of native plants as closely together as you can instead. Look, I'm not saying lawns are native to Australia because they're not, but our native plants evolved to burn; they are dry, their leaves are dry, and they're full of oils. If you plant native plants the way Americans tell you to that's a fucking fire hazard and you are endangering yourself and your neighbours next time we have a Black Summer.

My friend @ryttu3k linked me a great PDF on planting a native Australian garden in such a way as to reduce its status as a fire hazard!

tapping onto this, Ry's guide is for a specific part of NSW. Australia is a very very big place and there is a lot of biodiversity. So don't take one guide as The One True Guide because I used to be a ranger and lemme tell you, trying to stuff native plants in terrains they are unsuited for just creates a mess for everyone. Honestly, just google "native planting <your council> " and they will have a guide that is specific to your area.
