House Always Wins

Grace Petrie: House Always Wins

Roll up, roll up! And place your bets

You get the same chance everybody gets

Yeah from the first day of your life

You are born into this gunfight with a knife

'Cause the dice are always loaded

The coins all wear two grins

The devil pays the dealer for his multitude of sins

But whichever way the roulette wheel spins?

The house always wins

POV: you're playing Baccarat and the pit boss gives you some clutch advice. You still lose.

one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

The House Brothers

I’ve dug pretty much everyone and I couldn’t find a SINGLE fanart of Anthony House and Robert so I figured why not do it myself

Seen you reblog a few WolvPool posts, did you like the movie?

I loved the movie and I love my boyfriend (Wade) and his boyfriend (Logan) and meeting my new boyfriend (Gambit) there were so many funny moments and writing Wade's kind of dialog is so fun- yeah it was a delicious movie-

The Mouse Always Wins

Lady Bone Demon: "No back up and no weapon, so your plan is to...fist fight a child?" Sun Wukong: "We both know that's not what you are!" [...]

Lady Bone Demon: "Stop! Have you forgotten? Destroy me, and you destroy the host. Have you become so desperate to end me that you would sacrifice this blameless, innocent child?" Sun Wukong: "You're giving me no choice! All the time you spent locked away, and you haven't changed a bit. I'm going to finish you, like I should have done a long time ago!"

Sun Wukong: "I know! But...he's not ready!" Macaque: "You mean you're not ready. You really are the worst mentor. He need- We need to know everything we can." Sun Wukong: "He's just a kid! Can't he just-" Macaque: "He's not just a kid!"

Have you forgotten who I am? What I am? Until I know what I am, what my destiny is? I can't risk hurting the people I care about, the ones I have left.

I swear at this point team black just looks for reasons to hate team green because tell me why every take I see from the previous episode about aemond is that he’s pathetic and a loser for turning around when he sees a bunch of huge dragons ready to jump him? That he only attacks when it’s an “unfair” fight (sneak attacks).

Like how is that a bad thing?? That’s smart. That’s called not going into an unwinnable fight (a la Rhaenys). That’s called fighting to your advantage. That’s called being good in battle.

At this point team green characters could sit in a room breathing and team black would find a way to complain about them or make fun of them.
