It's chapter 4!!! At long last. More mooks. More Starmen. More awkward conversations!

Own it.

Unacceptable practices, once unthinkable, become routine through gradual desensitisation and moral disengagement. In the NHS, 'corridor care' exemplifies this normalization, turning indignation into acceptance with euphemisms like Temporary Escalation.

In plain English; normalising things that shouldn’t be regarded as normal. There is a posh way of describing it. Actually, several. Normalisation of deviance. The way in which unacceptable practices become normalised within a group, or wider society. Social normalisation. When society accepts behaviours that were once considered harmful. Moral disengagement. This refers to a term coined by…

AOC reached out to people who voted for Trump but then also Democrat for local issues and the answers are what you expect but also show the dissonance in society.

Most of the answers show that people were not reading or doing research for themselves.

She then asked what news sources people follow and that was honestly worse.

If no one, no teacher or adult has ever explained it to you, instead of only watching one news source or only news sources that lean your way, or worse: no news at all, you are supposed to watch and read both. This means if you’re left leaning, that you should be watching or at least getting a headline email from places like Fox News to counter balance other leftist news sources. Not to balance your thoughts, but because it’s important to know what info the other side is and is not getting and How that info is being reported.

There is no perfect news outlet, so you have to puzzle piece it for yourself.

you know what’s so interesting? in the almost two decades since this entire franchise was first put on air, i don’t think i’ve ever stumbled across a fic or concept about trudie/rosie/trudy being a secret bad guy

this is a very good post about the election results but I need to say that Biden successfully did that with covid testing. He ended covid tracking and now I need to get a doctors note to get a lab test. We currently live in the hypoyhetical Trump posed and if you are mad at trump for suggesting it you should be mad at Kamala and Biden for implimenting it.

A reminder about the "red mirage:"

Tomorrow, early results will likely suggest that Trump is leading. This is not because more people overall voted for him; rather, because rural districts have smaller populations than urban or suburban districts, and they tend to vote red. Later, votes in areas with higher populations will be counted, and these tend to skew blue.

Trump will likely demand that the vote counts cease while he's ahead. Just remember where this is coming from: The man who said that we shouldn't test so many people for COVID so it wouldn't look like it was running out of control wants to stop counting votes so it won't look like he's getting his butt kicked.

The next Big Arc I'm excited for the webtoon to adapt is Kaizenix arc for multiple reasons but one of them is that I'm VERY curious about what they will do about heesung.

because heesung have a romance arc in kaizenix right. I don't think I need to prove it's canon like a fujoshi talking about her favourite M/M ship, red yarn and cork board style - we're all on the same page here, this is a completely uncontraversial take on the token het couple in orv, right? kim dokja sees them in kaizenix and thinks "damn I'll have to allow interpersonal dating in kimcom now" I don't think anyone is arguing for a platonic explaination here (het ship advantages etc) HOWEVER.

Jung Heewon looked like a man at the time.

"She's mentally a woman so it's fine and not gay" is a much easier pill to swallow when it's words in a novel and her appearence isn't described, and the flashbacks appear as disconnected lines of dialogue so you don't really think of them as looking like Erich and Bilston and imagine them as Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung regardless of their actual appearence.

But the webtoon is a visual format and that won't fly. They physically can't be non-committal about this, they have to draw SOMETHING and I can't WAIT to see what it will be, because whatever they decide to do will be massively entertaining to me.

Do they say fuck it, heesung yaoi canon? I can't imagine they want on screen (apparent) gayness in their male power fantasy manhwa, but they might bet on the 'she's a woman on the inside' cognative dissonance 'it's anime bullshit, don't question it' logic will win over in most dudebro heads, as with it did in the novel.

Or they might decide that it WON'T fly with the dudebros actually and they shouldn't risk it and-this is where it gets really funny- try to make heesung less gay.

They could tweak their scenes to downplay the romance aspect (make them more humorus or cut some parts). They could keep Jung Heewon's face and hair the same as usual except she's in armor don't worry about what's under it ok. To 'keep her recognizable' even though they're not usually afraid to make the designs temporarily unrecognizable (KDJ's YJH cosplay moment for example), or some combination of both, which is what I'm betting on.

Just friends-ing their scenes...... changing her design to a woman's...... All of this would be, and I can't believe I'm saying this, gay censorship.

heesung about to be the first het couple to experience gay erasure. that's awesome I love orv

That's why I NEED all of us to have a countdown to heesungs schrödinger's yaoi event the same way some people had for joongdok demon king stabbing scene. the POTENTIAL IS THERE OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!

In the 90s, a lot of TV writers looked at cults and instead of going "what might be going on in society to lead people into these" went "wow what if a cult actually did give you something cool and metaphysically different and better? wouldn't that be awful?"

I wonder how different history might've been if we'd examined that cognative dissonance a bit more closely

[goopiespoops]

this is exactly why nobody fucks with americans man you see someone point out that all soldiers are apart of america's global subjugation nd instead of agreeing with the literal fact in front of your eyes you just have to bust out the sob story

There’s a lot of reasons people join the armed forces and one of those is that it’s one of the only ways to be in a marching band as an adult

[obsidiancreates]

The cognative dissonance parents are capable of is incredible. And the many varieties they can create is even more fascinating. A father tells his children he doesn't care about seeing anyone else's perspective then says it's bullshit when his wife gently tells him that's Dismissive and calls her Delusional for saying so. Amazing. (Sarcasm)

[mellarked-katnisseverdeen]

One thing I really appresiate about Ballad is that it shows for the first bit of it? No one liked the Hunger Games. Even the in the Capitol, scared and war torn enough to sanction the idea, didn't initally love the idea of watching children being forced to kill one another. There is humanity there, even in the Capitol. Untill after the 10th Hunger Games it was seen as not a celabration, but genuinely needed form of justice for the Districts.

It's only when betting became involved, when they made the tributes look nicer and put on a show of 'taking care of' and 'giving the tributes the luxury of the Capitol' the Capitol people began to really see it as something entertaining and fun, and not the horrific nightmare it is.

The tributes are fed and clothed well, they get to be showered with attneition and all these great things, so it's okay right? And it can be something they are involved in, by betting and sponsering so what's the harm?

And that's part of the problem. That's where it starts, the complete cognative dissonance the entire Capitol comes to have about the Games. Because they are made pritty, because there cage is now guilded the Capitol can pretend the situation in the Districts is better than it is. These made up, primped and preened kids don't seem on the brink of starvation do they? They are having the time of their lives for the oppertinuty to get some of this for their DIstricts! It's where the recognition that these are real children dying begins to get lost.

i love how after alek finds out, he’s like “how dare you trick me and lie to me and not tell me who you really are!!” but also “if anyone threatens deryn sharp or even gets close to discovering her secret they will have me to answer to” great cognative dissonance you have going there buddy
