the reason why red team wins isn’t because they submit tasks last minute. that isn’t even the biggest part of their strategy, so let me tell you what red is doing to win:
delegating tasks: each member has spent most of their time collecting whatever resource the team needs. they work together to come up with specific goals (eg. enchantment table, mining iron, getting string) and then send specific people out to do that task, usually whoever’s free at the moment
helping each other: they would all drop everything at a moment’s notice to help a teammate in trouble
sharing resources: red team shares literally everything they own. most notably, bings and personal quest items
personal tasks: they all help each other out to finish these, and they make sure everyone active gets them done. i think a good chunk of their points come from this category actually, since the other teams don’t seem to prioritize it as much
not seeking fights: ok sure, they’ve gotten in a decent amount of fights, but usually the fight comes to them. they aren’t spending their time searching for people to kill, rather most of their kills have been from running into others in the wild or at spawn (foolish did spend time looking for tina today, but that was mostly looking for blue base as a strategic point)
using time wisely: to kind of add onto the point above, they aren’t spending all their time walking thousands of blocks to others’ bases. they also are very communicative about how much time they have left and what to use it for. they’ll ask how they can help the team with their last ten minutes, for instance
communicating: red team spends almost their entire time on the server in a vc together. I know this isn’t exactly every creator’s thing, but they could still type in chat if they didn’t want to talk. red team have even been leaving discord messages to their teammates to tell them info when they’re not online!
varying their points: i think this is the most important thing tbh. instead of only focusing on tasks or kills, etc. they do a little bit of every. they make sure to do well in every possible point category
being silly: it’s the best part!! the silliness boosts team morale
seriously though, the red team doesn’t just sweep the win at the last minute. if that was true then they wouldn’t log in until the last ten minutes. all the active members spend their 5 hours (or however long they’re playing that day) working on gathering materials and being useful for the team. the only advantage they have from being online later is they know how many points they need to get to catch up. so they can sort of measure how many kills or resources they’d need, etc. but knowing what they need doesn’t guarantee they’ll get it. the red team puts a lot of hard work into their wins it’s not just a cheap sweep. they are clever, resourceful, and strategic
#this is strategy analysis not discourse#i’m analyzing this like it’s a betting sport#it’s FUN#really if the other teams want to win they just need to communicate better that’s the whole point of the event!!#and before anyone comes at me i have been watching all 3 teams#and me saying red team does this doesn’t mean i’m saying the other teams aren’t doing it#i’m just saying this is what red is doing that’s making them WIN#qsmp

i don’t think anyone believes your brain is literally atrophying so much as finding it a cause for concern that llm usage provides an easy alternative to independent thought. i find this post so insincere.
it is also a little absurd to invoke roko’s basilisk as a means of discrediting discomfort with the rapid encroachment of “artificial intelligence” into day to day life when its increasing presence in our culture is entirely motivated and funded by people who have bought into the concept.
#i have a perhaps too idealistic idea surrounding all this but it just feels so much like surrendering to me#obviously it is not essential to your humanity to write ten emails a day about meetings and schedules and tasks but i find it all so#distasteful and isolating and distancing. there remains some level of human connection and presence even in the stupidest most tedious#moments of public service work. it’s unfortunate that our working culture is so draining that the ai usage becomes a coping strategy for#all of the built up monotony but it just makes it all worse. at least in the context of writing and communication i fail to see any true#value in it. and the origins of it in every instance i’m aware of being tied to the most disgusting immoral#men doesn’t sway me any further into thinking it is at all worthwhile to defend it#or to decry anyone who says it makes them uncomfortable. i think it really fucking should make us uncomfortable and we should be stopping#to consider who it is that we’re really advocating for when we paint ai critique as entirely#naive and what those people’s goals are for humanity and for the earth.

Sorry but feeling superior to random Muslim/Arab Americans who did not vote for a party that told them over and over again to get over the ongoing genocide of their people…… is not gonna save you
#dnc shot itself in the foot over and over again because literally their only strategy was ‘we’re better than the other guys’#and many of you think that should be enough!#you do not think that democrats should have to actually make any salient campaign promises#you do not think they should be expected to reach out to voters#you do not think they should engage meaningfully with their base#you do not think they should accurately represent the interests of the people#(which EVEN REPUBLICANS WANTED A CEASEFIRE)#you just think they should say ‘we are not Trump’ and that should be enough to win an election#even on the tail end of a frankly disastrous ineffectual democratic presidency#the writing was on the wall girls#not a huge surprise to anyone who lives in real life#and I voted for their dumb asses! so don’t try me#by the way if Biden/harris had done literally anything to protect anybody while they were in power we would not be where we are now!#did the people reblogging that post forget about when the democrats went to that huge Arab American community in Michigan#just to tell them to suck it up and vote anyway#how many indignities do you expect people to suffer before they stop trusting that you will serve their interests#getting brain damage from pissing myself off

I'm going to say something and please do not kill me. if we really do believe that art in-of-itself is inherently amoral, then that also means we have to accept that advertising is a valid art form, but just one that tends to be used in ideologically repellent contexts
#sometimes information about goods and services does need to be communicated en-masse in an engaging way#and that will still be true in a post-capitalist society#it doesn't stop being advertising just because its about your local farmer's market instead of temu jeans#I also think that when you allow yourself to consider ads to be “art” that motivates you to pay closer attention to their strategies#the main emotional response ad-art attempts to elicit is -want- and its important to learn what makes you more susceptible to that#anyway read ways of seeing by john berger chapter 7 freely available at ways-of-seeing.com/ch7

forever hilarious to me that tennis is promoted as this prestigious highbrow big-brain sport when most tennis fans these days are like. yeah this is my favorite player. yeah i don't know why they're like that. yes they are stupid. no i will not choose somebody else.
#wta tennis#atp tennis#i feel like the era of...shall we say 'federer-esque' players is waning#which i think can in part be related to the loss of the one-handed-backhand#as the sport moves more toward a necessity for fitness and athleticism players do not put as much emphasis on 'art'#which imo is fine! i think the 'art' of tennis is too protected in some ways. which i maybe will expand on later.#but i think it's too much for the tags of a (mostly) silly post#but yeah you can hear a lot of commentators touch on it#i know nadal even said something abt it recently(ish)#but i think as tennis is gradually less associated with this abstract 'image' (e.g. the obsession with federer's 'grace' and 'class')#players are coming in thinking 'this is a physical battle and i am going to win' and very much leaning into the *competition*#which not to say that they're ignoring/denying the mental aspects at all because i actually do think many players are very strategic/aware#and in truth i think many tennis players ARE actually very smart#but i also think it's less apparent because more and more players are able to just hit the shit out of the ball and call it a day#which leaves you with the occasional shot/point/game/set/match etc where it seems like they don't know what the fuck they're doing#but you think about most sports which evolve in phases#it's very normal for certain player profiles to become more or less popular as the landscape of the sport changes#or as new techniques/strategies are developed#or as new communities/populations become interested!#extreme example but think of like. high jump's fosbury flop. that was one guy!#one guy who changed the entire fucking sport! so it makes perfect sense that tennis is continuing to evolve#given how many unique players have come and gone#and how much the sport is changing externally as well as internally#anyways. this got out of hand but i love sports and i love tennis and i love my brainless players.#this whole post was inspired by rewatching sabalenka v boulter and aryna completely missed an overhead by like five feet. lol#love her <3

"here's one for you greg. do you think if i spoke posh i would have a better career? not better, bigger."
#not to call a celebrity underrated but he just is. i want him in 2 movies and a season of tv a year#though the quality of his filmography is good enough it's silly to complain#yeah this is me craving season two of rogue heroes#jack o'connell#that thing that people can't get past is the same thing tom hardy has btw#shockingly similar people. idk if they would agree but#makes him/them highly compelling on-screen but lord would i not want to be alone in a room with either of them!#he very immediately communicates with his body language a feeling of unpredictability and an experience with and capacity for violence#it's like. a show some men put on. i would assume as a coping strategy for circumstances where they feel threatened or ignored or something#the way he talks about it though makes me think it's no longer intentional and he just doesn't know another way to act#which i have also seen but not talked about in this way#sorry you guys know how i feel about masculinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and homosociality my number one area of interest

LU x TOTK Au Concept: Everything is the same but after Wild gets briefly snatched into his second quest (with or no forewarning whatsoever, jury's out choice wise), the gang shows up again in his Hyrule so he can join them on The Hunt For The Shadow™ again after Divine Intervention Made Them Do It© and they come in just in time to witness the absolute Insanity that was the final battle briefly reestablishing that Oh Yeah Wild is Still Feral and Kind of Unhinged (Positive) and Our Beloved Cub but now slightly more terrifying strength wise. Also brief Sun and Flora meeting where they immediately clock each other with the Same Hat vibes and no one can tell what's up with that.
If you know you know I ain't spoiling nothing.
#linked universe#lu chain#lu wild#lu flora#linked universe au#Wild 🤝 Twilight Disarment Trauma#Wild 🤝 Hyrule 🤝 Warriors 🤝 Time Dragon Trauma#Twilight 🤝 Wind 🤝 Wild 🤝 Warriors Having Actual Humans in Their Canonical Body Count#Sun 🤝 Flora Eldritch Divinity on Eldritch Divinity Communication#The Chain 🤝 The Valkyries Having no Clue What's Up With That#Yes I call a group of Zelda's Valkyries#I mean Hylia has wings and they've been part of wars strategies and the series is literally Legend of Zelda#Y'all can't expect me to NOT make that pun#Summer's Sleep Deprived LU Rambles

there’s a lot of reasons to dislike internet discourse but i think my main reason is that it is genuinely completely ineffective like 99% of the time
#marzi speaks#marzirants#like. ok all communication has a goal#if your goal is vent your frustrations! then yes that post you made is fine#but it’s kinda rude to put others down to make yourself feel better + arguing as a coping strategy feels maladaptive#so you gotta watch out#but! for most discourse posters it seems that changing minds is the goal#a goal which people online seem to have no clue how to achieve#because they aren’t speaking in a way that communicates ‘this is my perspective and i’m really hoping you can understand how i see things’#it instead communicates ‘if you don’t think or feel the way i do about this then you are stupid and need to change or die. or both’#and like! you can feel angry! but immediately putting people on the defensive is actively detrimental if you want them to listen to you#people who feel attacked Will Not Change Their Minds for you#if you want to change someone’s mind. you have to; get this: respect them.#people are MUCH more receptive when you treat a disagreement as an opportunity for both parties to learn more#rather than a shouting contest to see who can hurl the most accusations at their opponent#when you argue properly and politely with mutual respect it’s actually kinda enjoyable to disagree with people! in my opinion anyways#and i know this because i’m able to have proper disagreements and discussions with people irl#i do it best with my parents just bc they’re easier for me to read#but it happens with friends too. literally all you have to do is be respectful#and then both parties walk away with insight into a perspective they hadn’t seen before#like believe it or not. having your perspective challenged is really healthy#it helps to either build defenses for your beliefs or change them if you feel they aren’t as defensible#but bulldozing over other people’s ideas is literally just bullying#and you may be ‘right!’ i may agree wholeheartedly with your point!#but if you post like anyone who doesn’t share your exact view is an enemy and nothing more#i am not going to engage with your post. no matter what guilt trips you put on it#bc that literally gets nothing done!#and in the case of social justice it pushes away people who don’t know much but want to learn. it’s so counterproductive#if you want to win the game of persuasion you have to. actually play it#save your anger for the government. be kind to individuals. please for the love of fuck

lord forgive me for being bitchy about the silly internet post but a big part of why you see so many Aesthetic cafes in beach towns, historical cities, and other tourist destinations is Because they are tourist destinations. Somewhere with a script font shopfront and a fancy sounding name that charges you £17 for a donut is not a cafe designed for the people who live there. somewhere that sells Anything Scottish themed when in scotland is not aimed at the people who live there. the local shops with puns and shit are there too, if they haven't been pushed out by those fancy tourist shops, but you aren't going to see them, because the tourist shop has the marketing budget and sells all the silly lil novelties you want to see when you're visiting somewhere new. If you stop by a small town in scotland that isn't a tourist destination, you're absolutely gonna see "davies deepfriend nutsack takeaway" or whatever but if to somewhere like edinburgh you're Gonna see The Portabello Fry that charges you £25 for a box of chips.
#.txt#hater hours#sorry gamers but i have so many feelings about tourism as an economic strategy and how it absolutely decimates entire communities#it makes me so mad#anyway :)#like how many branches of the celtic design jewellery shop do you really think one city needs. and why is it more than 4.#how many Gin Tasting Experiences do you think an island with 13000 people needs. quickly.#and why is it more than one.

"you were born evil" but you still named her agatha.
thinking about that process, because it took 18 years right. you have a baby and you call her good and she turns out to be smarter than you, more powerful than you, and it scares you, you dont know how to handle that especially in a world that hates you and her already. the things about her that scare you, will scare the outside world who understands even less than you do ten times more. you dont know how to protect her so you try to control her which is like number one bad idea human response to things that scare us.
obviously this backfires and she gets even more furious in her quest for knowledge, every door you close she finds a window, every place you warn away from she gets into, talking to people she shouldnt be talking to, trying out magic she shouldnt be trying. every step she takes is one further out of your control, further out of anyone's control, every new thing she learns makes her dangerous, puts her in danger, puts your coven in danger, shes exposing all of you along with herself. shes in danger, shes a danger, shes a teenager and she knows more than you, of course shes not gonna listen to you anymore, about anything. of course shes not gonna hear a warning, and if she did she wouldnt take it, just to spite you.
what are you gonna do? youre not the only one whos scared. of her, for her. youve got an entire coven getting panicky about the way shes exposing all of you, the risks shes taking that she may or may not be able to fully understand (maybe shes never seen one of you burned before, maybe shes her own first). and if she were on her own that would be her decision to make, but you are still responsible for your coven and you are responsible for her, for her safety and for the threat she poses. so what do you do? do you even have a choice? or is this just where the mob turns. kick a scapegoat onto a pyre and hope fortune turns for the rest of us. if she cant stick to the rules in place for the safety of all, then shes a ticking timebomb. if it's not her at the stake, sooner or later it's all of you. so what can you do? what are you expected to do?
punish agatha.
#dont remember who i saw say it but when agatha is recruiting sharon and she pauses for a moment before going yoohoo#making peace with the fact that shes definitely most likely gonna kill this lady along with the witches#*points at her mother here*#anyway i dont know what the fuck like went on this is just one version#but im thinking of her ghost and like 'emotion ties them to this plane' like yeAH NO SHIT fhkjhgkj#the amount of emotion that mustve been going on here#i imagine there must have been a lot of self-convincing before her mother got to this point#i imagine there werent a lot of choices and she was kind of backed into a corner and she just had to find every reason to make this possibl#to be able to do THIS#thats the only way right?#she seems to be the leader. idk if covens have leaders maybe shes just leading here bc it's her daughter thats on trial#or maybe agatha just gets it from her mother#but like if she hadnt gone first then maybe the coven wouldve done this ANYWAY without her right?#and then she'd have lost control of the coven. maybe kicked out. her daughter would be killed either way like#idk if she considered taking agatha and fleeing just the two of them. if she rejected that as too dangerous. safety in numbers#they'd get killed if it was just the two of them#or if she never even considered it. i do get a sort of.....conforming vibe from her. which isnt weird bc standing out or losing community#is p dangerous right in the environment they live here#im more inclined to imagine her trying to teach agatha to just like. shut up. hide. conform. dont stand out. whatever you do DONT push the#boundaries#bc if you end up outside of them youre fucking toast#i can imagine that more as her attempted strategy than running off with agatha#but like obviously that wouldnt work bc agatha wants to push boundaries she wants to push boundaries so bad#i get a feeling she wants to push boundaries like the doctor wants to press buttons#yaz voice: you'd hit a hornets nest just to see what happens

Every once in a while I toy with the idea of making an account on a dating app for the express purpose of messing with people. Not like, catfishing or lying about being interested or anything, but more like, "Oh, you wanted to find a date? PSYCH!!! Here's 6,000 images of stingrays instead. Get stingrayed"
#I'm never gonna do it obviously#The very thought of making a tinder account makes me want to claw my skin off#But IF I ever did#I feel this strategy would be far more effective at communicating who I am as a person than any amount of small talk and flirting ever coul

Is it finally okay to admit that before this election, I though Harris was GOP bc every time her name came up, it was another cruel policy she was supporting.
Don't blame the voters if you brand your party as "progressive" but are too cowardly to push progressive candidates and instead run on "but we're only 99% hitler" campaigns :)
#i didnt say anything before as not to meddle in stuff that i cant do nothing about just funny sad not haha#literally two of the same one party with a one side slightly cruel to their own citizens than the other but both horrible for the world#voters vote what they want - parties make strategy and tactical decisions and dems strategy... come on...#you cant blame voters or non-voters on this one - you can't run as gop for girls when against og gop and expect to win#you guys know you can do stuff between elections right? you can act communally? in your city? make a difference?#IF you still believe in electoral politics GET ACTIVE on local level to RESIST whatever national policies on city level
