#a real statistic

"Genshin is better", "honkai is better", "star rail is better", "wuthering waves is better" could some of you all possibly shut the hell up. Would it kill you all to just simply enjoy stuff without turning into it some kind of dick measuring contest

Gotham is getting better and is safer than US cities

One of my pet peeves in comics is the notion that Gotham is cursed eternally; that Batman hasn't made an impact; that things aren't getting better. If you read the comics, this is not true:

In Detective Comics #999, Batman says that there were 182 people murdered in Gotham that year; and that the previous years' stats were 214 and 231: a downward trend. (His stated goal is to get it to 0).

That issue came out in 2019. In 2019, NYC had 319 homicides, Chicago had 490, and Detroit had 273. Which are all numbers bigger than 182.

Violent crime, including homicide, also shot up a lot in the US in 2020, and hasn't totally come down since. For example, through June, NYC had 236 homicides and Chicago had 343. I don't know whether Gotham had a similar homicide uptick since 2019, but if it didn't, it totally has less murder today than comparable real world U.S. cities.

so i may or may not have printed out the entirety of @anonymousalchemist's amazing fic like a bird, like a stone onto three Very Large pieces of paper.

you might be asking, why, fay? why did you print out an entire 53k fic for a video game you've never played? well you see, if you read it, you would understand.

It's actually trans people who are at risk. (via our old Irish-fandom connection, psephologist and freelance diplomat/negotiator Nick Whyte [@nwbrux] on Twitter)

I hate men because today after years of my brother mocking me whenever I talk about something I’m well informed on by saying I did no research I finally told him how much it upsets me. So straight after he brought up my male assault statistics and called them fake before leaving.

On "Kendrick" Defending R. Kelly Music From Spotify bit from 2018 lies:

its important to note that it was TDE CEO Tiffith protesting against Spotify's policy on Kendricks behalf (not even him personally but anyway), basically saying Spotify's blurry ass wording of their policy and immediate picking of R. Kelly was unjust because step by step

censoring artists is bad

censoring artists on incarceration is bad

censoring artists on incarceration with vague wording and criteria is even worse

why does this start with hiphop. like all discrimination does. cuz R. Kelly may have been found guilty but a bunch of old songs where white men sang about and DID mess kids werent taken to court. so they get to stay on the platform?

like id expect Certified Tumblrinas to immediately make the connection that, YEAH, even if you pick something seemingly unanimously agreed upon like "pdf convicted people" to discriminate youre still gonna be erasing more black people than white people cuz theyre arrested and punished more. like. yall didnt graduate basic american racism understanding university im sorry. putting too much trust in what the courts say combined with putting too little mind to why this move was done by Kendrick's label equals:

Yall calling Kendrick an R Kelly defender.

its not even hard to find out, heres the link, i heard that R. Kelly defender shit and read like 8 paragraphs to figure it out. come on

edit: YALL ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS. THIS POST DIDNT SHOW UP IN THE MAIN TAG UNTIL I CENSORED EVERY PDF FILE MENTION.

Just say that you lack creativity and are jealous of people who can express themselves with their chosen medium of expression. There are millions of ways and tools to express oneself, yet you chose AI to do your hard work, which is “the act of creating”. Feel ashamed, not proud.

i don't want to overshare on here anymore but my mentor's office hours are only 10 min + online rn so i have to do this here. idk why i've been so overwhelmed this year, i had some specific goals and had/have the time to reach all of them, but it's so so hard to me start working on sth if there's no external pressure, and idk about other grad students, but in my experience it's all your responsibility; deadlines are much more flexible and you have to update your profs and your research & thesis etc. and it's so difficult for meee.... I think the prospect of starting my career this winter was much more daunting than expected, i guess i'm not ready after all, esp with the state of the world rn like it makes me feel so sick it just relativizes my own life i guess.... i'd rather spend my time raising donations than working on my silly papers or do another unpaid internship you know........

I did go through the application process already, but i think i'm pretty sure that i will not take the job offer this winter........ i only have my thesis open (and maybe 2 seminars let's check), so i could and maybe SHOULD just focus on my thesis/drivers/license/mini job until next spring.............

idk why i feel so lost when i'm still on the right track and could reach some big milestones until spring i think i rlly need some treatment or sth for my anxiety like idk why im so scared when none of my goals are out of this world
