Here's to a New Decade.

Here's to Optimism.

Here's to Fighting the Good Fight.

Here's to Standing up for Honesty and Integrity.

Here's to Fighting Hate and Promoting Love.

Here's to Protecting the Wonderful Planet that We All Rely On.

https://teamtrees.org/

Don't give into despair. Those in power want us to feel helpless, to be apathetic, because they fear what we can accomplish when we stand together.

Here's to Unity.

Here's to Peace.

Here's to a Brighter Future.

I recommend a video by Youtuber Shaun that covers the killing of Trayvon Martin, if you want the facts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE84fH_Pc9c
Again, I really recommend this video.

Perhaps Zimmerman didn't commit full-on murder, but he still killed an unarmed 17 year old at least in part because he suspected that that 17 year old was causing trouble for no valid reason. Martin was doing absolutely nothing wrong, and a case can be made that he feared for his life when he struck Zimmerman.

And Zimmerman indisputably lied when recounting the events, and we cannot hear Martin's side of the story because he was fatally shot.

Yeah, you're not really supposed to think that Walt is a legitimate tough guy. He's definitely smart and makes it through some pretty harrowing situations at various points because of that. But he also bumbled around at very points and generally makes tons of mistakes, and plenty of characters demonstrate how much more dangerous they are than him. Walt wants to come across as tough, and he's capable of putting on an intimidating mask at times, but deep down he just has a bloated ego and craves validation.

Still, he's obviously very smart. He deserves credit for that at least.

Smart enough to know that he had to sell that persona or hed have been utterly screwed. You dont use people like he did and go up against the people he did and not project an air of insane badassery.

He only "sold that persona" to a small number of people. Gus and Mike saw through him easily, Saul was never truly intimidated by him, and even Tuco asserted himself over Walt even after the stunt with the fake meth. He scared off a couple of schmucks in that parking lot and make himself look good to those dealers, but who beyond them did he sell the Heisenberg persona to in person?

No shit he acted untouchable.

He killed Gus in one of the most cowardly ways imaginable, and he poisoned a child to allow him to get Jessie on his side so that he could have a chance to do it.

900 Korok Seeds is a perfectly reasonable number considering the sheer size of the world. There's plenty of space between individual Korok Puzzles.

And the Koroks made exploration more engaging by giving you a reason to be more thorough in how you explore the world as you travel through it, as you have to be perceptive to locate most of them. The process of noticing tons of little unusual features in the world is really fun IMO.

Capitalists want you to keep working when you're not on the job not so you can achieve personal satisfaction or enrichment, but because you're off the clock and therefore they don't have to pay you when you waste your life and drive yourself into the ground. To them, anything that isn't "productive" - something that YOU like, in other words, that doesn't bring you misery or wear you down, and which can't be profited from - is anathema. To them you may as well be slapping baby Jesus when you have fun. Remember, remember.

Having read the books, I honestly can't say for certain. I don't remember there being any indication of anything like this in all but one of the books. However, there is a book where the main villain is a hyper-advanced AI that is desperately trying to sustain itself by using magic as a power source, so there's obviously some kind of advanced civilization that existed before the events of the books.

It's definitely covered in the books. It's a really, really long running series. But I don't think it's obvious in Sword or Elfstones.

I don't remember most the details of the world, admittedly.

TopicIf you hear someone make a racist joke, act like you don't understand it.
wiiking96
08/23/19 6:16:32 PM

While not everyone who uses racist jokes is by default a racist, racists are obviously more open to using racist joke than non-racists. So if you hear someone make a racist joke, act like you need them to explain the joke. If they are a racist, they will be forced to explain the racist premises of the joke or else lie or deflect. Push for them to explain the joke if they try to avoid doing so, and they will at least become less comfortable with using the joke. If there are other non-racists present, they will think about the premises of the joke themselves and potentially realize that it's a racist joke.

Racism is not normal. Racism should not be treated as normal. Racist jokes perpetuate and normalize racist culture. Don't treat racist jokes as the same as actual jokes. Don't laugh at them, act like you don't understand them. Because they aren't funny unless you hold some racist beliefs, even just subconsciously.

Honestly I think everybody that works 40 hours a week is entitled to a decent standard of living.

I don't think anyone is arguing this as a whole. The problem comes in defining "decent". Does that include a smartphone? Basic or premium cable? A new car? Home ownership without roommates? Are kids considered a lifestyle choice? etc. If you live like they did in the 40s and 50s when everything was used, home-repaired, and nobody owned shit you can get along on $9/hr just fine, but modern conveniences incur a modern cost.

I would say that one important component of a decent standard of living is having considerable control over your own living conditions. If you want to live alone, if that genuinely makes you more happy, then you have the freedom to choose to do so. I don't like the idea that people in lower classes have far less freedom than people in higher classes.
