I don't think the Trinity is that hard to understand or explain. o:

I usually think of it like this:

You have a friend; they have 3 jobs.

They have a job as a engineer, a cashier, and a janitor.

You wouldn't go to your friend in each job and ask "Are you the same guy I know????" - You know it's the exact same friend at each job, even though they're doing something different at each job.

Or think of it in gaming terms:

It's like someone with three different characters in a game. They switch between each character whenever needed, but you know it's the exact same person controlling each character, despite the different skills/class abilities.

Heck, even further think of someone who changes their hair color + style every day. You don't question or ask if they're the same person from when you first saw them. You know it's the same person, just different presentation.

you see, first person is being a discriminatory dick. But that still doesn't give person 2 the right to toss around slurs about them. How is this hard?

Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.

The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.

A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like

And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like

The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just

The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.

a subtle-but-noticeable difference between the GOT books and show that people like to point out is how show!Tywin comes off as more hyper-competent than in the books where its more apparent that he really is Cersei’s father in how he is clearly smart but not nearly as smart as he thinks he is and that fucks him over but tbh you do see that in the show it’s just not explicitly spelled out for the audience.

Like the scene where Joffrey is saying they should probably do something about those dragons and Tywin was all “don’t worry about” and Joffrey was like “I uh, I think we should? They’re three dragons owned by the lady that wants to overthrow us how the fuck do we handle that” and Tywin was like “we should just ignore it” but maxing out his intimidation so he doesn’t have to answer an extremely fair question bc if he doesn’t know how to handle dragons then dragons can’t be a real problem since Tywin knows how to solve problems.

like I’ve people try and say this was Joffrey being perceptive and like not really literally anyone in his position would be wondering that it’s just that Tywin has his intimidation and aura of hypercompetence (and Joffrey is marginally less afraid of him than most) and ends up frightening people out of asking a very obvious question because if Pycelle were to be like “I can do research about proven ways to kill dragons” it would seem like Tywin needed help to solve a problem. Which he does, all the time, but he can’t admit that and refuses to let other people notice that.

isn't it funny how the people who talk about how much violence they want to do to pedophiles always sound exactly like all those republican politicians who turned out to be deeply closeted? except the phenomenon is a lot more common.

i guess they really like those kids

I'd like to point out that the Amy Dallon Hatedom is now categorically more evil than Leopold II, 2nd King Of The Belgians. In terms of individual human beings, if the Amy Dallon Hatedom were classified as an individual, they would only be below Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler, Hong Xiuquan, Genghis Khan, and, if counted, Christopher Columbus and Gavrilo Princip. They dwarf Pol Pot, all Kims of NK combined, any Russian Tsar, Tamerlane, every side of the Iraq War, Winston Churchill, Yahya Khan, and Ismail Enver Pasha.

Silly Concept: an Egyptologist/archeologist specializes in Middle Kingdom Egypt or something, and whenever she's in the field, her work in her actual field of study goes more-or-less fine, but she keeps running into various supernatural curses and revanants from other periods of Egyptian history, manifesting as wildly distorted magical versions of prevailing ideas from those periods.

"These hieratic papyri could really give us new insights into the inventory management systems of the twelfth dynasty... wait, what's this inscription? Huh, this isn't my specialty, but I think it's Byzantine period, maybe 5th century? My Koine is a little rusty, but I think it says 'Here lies the accursed tomb of the Heresiarch Pelagius, who denied the sinfulness of humanity. Whoever disturbs his eternal imprisonment shall face the wrath of Jesus, son of the God YHWH.' Huh. Cursed Christian tomb. Is that a... thing?"

"With the artifacts on this site, I think the role of both free and forced labor in the textile industry of... watch where you're stepping! What's this? Ah, Ayyubid period Arabic, I think: 'Here lies Al-Adid, last Caliph of the Fatimids. Though the foul Sunni usurpers have destroyed my reign, I shall rise again in the final days, reunite with Ali and the Prophet Mohamed PBUH, and take vengeance upon the House of Saladin.' Uh oh."

"So it's a long shot whether the isotope analysis will really be able to reveal whether these spices and dyes were really traded over as long distances as ... haven't I told you about what happened to my last graduate student who didn't watch where he was walking? Stay focused and don't look at stuff outside of our designated site, ugh. Hmm.... modern Arabic printed brass plaque. Looks about forty years old. 'This was the amulet of President Anwar Sadat. Should any foolish Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist try to destroy or steal this amulet, even as they destroyed its master, the Spirit of Arab Socialism shall descend upon him and...' oh come the fuck on."

I know that the UK censorship laws are evils and fucked up on the face of them but I feel like we kinda blew past the part where it uses a phrenology machine to check your age.

manufacturing a version of the burrito test for helicopter parenting, i feel like maybe "when you were 14, would you have been able to safely have sex with someone else your age without either of your parents finding out" is probably a good intuition pump for determining whether or not you had abusive helicopter parents. a lot of people might not like the answer to that one though!
