"There should be security cameras inside of classrooms." Eh, sure. We have them in the hallways and cafeteria. Maybe not my first choice for how to spend tax dollars, but whatever. Then if an issue arises, the footage could be pulled on request and reviewed.

"There should be security cameras with a live stream inside classrooms that parents can view whenever they want to keep their kids safe." Are you insane. Are you absolutely out of your mind. Even assuming that this theoretical live stream would be limited to just the parents of children who have a class in that specific room (not the whole school)....you want dozens of strangers (in elementary) or hundreds of strangers (secondary) to be able to have a live stream of *your child* at school? You can't see a single possible safety or privacy issue that could arise from that situation?

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

i really do enjoy the contradictions in crystal's character–she's amnesic but still has a strong sense of personality and agency, she finds power in her ancestry but was also clearly shaped into being such a callous and self-serving person by her parents. very tasty tension in her character, much to think about!

i really wish we got the tf2 tv show because i think, about your talk about how pyro ends up being a foil to the other characters, pyro is such a wildcard of a character that if you need someone for an episode to complete a dynamic it's pyro. he's designated driver. he's the mcdonalds employee. he's scout's ma. she's helping miss p dismember bodies. it's coming in through the dog door

your ask got me thinking about how i'd use pyro in a show and IDK if anyone else has seen Solar Opposites but how they split the Pupa's screentime between A + B plots in the first/second season would be spot on the money for me. Pyro could be there, in the A plot, in small ways (like you said, at the back of the bus or en rotue to the episodes mission) but then gets sucked into a 'mundane' B plot for some tonal levity within the episode. Pyro's gotta run that FTSE 500 company! They've gotta seduce the Ballicorn comic writer in order to read the never-published final issue! They've gotta earn an Astrophysics PHD in order to steal their Professor's Pokemon topped pen....that sort of thing. And then occassionaly they can show up with the deus-ex-mechina for the episode with the rest of the team being none the wiser (other than vaguely baffled as their flamethrower could've REALLY come in handy fighting those haunted scarecrows).

someday I WILL give in to the demons and buy a red string border and by then I will be able to do much more than pace and mumble to myself about the sheer insanity of the lore

people rightly criticize how team 7 reacted to sasuke's pursuit of justice for his clan, but one thing i feel is always overlooked in these discussions is how sakura literally is not granted the option by the narrative to learn about what sasuke has been through — not in the way that naruto, kakashi, or even team taka are. throughout all of part 2, she is operating under the assumption that sasuke killed itachi and then turned on the village for no apparent reason.

in part 1, she offers to help sasuke with his plan to kill itachi and even says she'll come with him so he won't have to handle a clearly dangerous and unstable sannin alone. she tells him she wishes he would be more open with her because she wants to understand what he's going through. (all of this stands in stark contrast to naruto, who says he'll break every bone in sasuke's body to bring him back, or kakashi, who projects his own traumas on to sasuke.) then in part 2, she can't bring herself to hurt him despite ample opportunity and even though (as far as she knows) he's become a violent criminal. throughout the series, she's averse to inflicting harm on others (aside from the punching naruto gag). is it really so unreasonable to imagine that if she knew sasuke was avenging the state-sponsored genocide of his clan, she would respond differently? with more empathy and compassion for his circumstances, and anger of her own towards konoha?

“Australian ex-racing driver Mark Webber, boasting nine victories in his career, arrived in São Paulo for the Brazilian Grand Prix and shared thoughts on his admiration for Ayrton Senna, retirement, and his fondness for Brazilian barbecue.”

“As the Rolex ambassador, he arrived in São Paulo in November for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite not boasting world titles, he, a fan of the band INXS ("the songs are timeless"), played tough against prominent figures in the sport. Nowadays, he cruises around in a Porsche and manages fellow countryman Oscar Piastri's career at McLaren.”

“With stints at Red Bull, Minardi, Jaguar, and Williams, and nine victories under his belt — including two on Brazilian soil — Webber discussed Ayrton Senna (whose grave he visited on this recent trip), the accident at the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, likely to become a documentary, where his car somersaulted in a cinematic manner, and life after retiring from the sport ("I used to be a sharp weapon, now I'm a gentleman").”

What if instead of banning guns, we much a Federal Gun Owner Requirements (FGOR). An example of how such a system would work

All firearms require registration. All owners of all types of fire arms must have (insert sets of requirements) gun safe, in which all firearms must be stored at all times. Children found to have a firearm in their possession currently or previously will result in said firearms registered owner to lose the ability to own firearms for (insert based on severity of event) years and take on the child’s criminal charges, if any are present.

Firearm incapable of human casualty - must be 18+

Firearms capable of human casualty - 21+ and background check

Firearms capable of multiple human casualties in quick succession, being more than 3 in under 60 seconds - 21+, background check, gun safety course

Firearms with *high capacity *expanded upon with a specific threshold capacity based on weapon type in separate list - 21+, background check, gun safety course, gun competency course, psychological evaluation

Firearms with *extreme high capacity/accuracy enhances, *as defined in a separate list with a specific threshold capacity based on weapon type - 21+, background check, gun safety course, gun competency course, psychological evaluation, use of weaponry/ammo evaluation.

And so on.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that everyone mad about the changes made in the Percy Jackson series just don't have critical thinking skills
