Nina-Bytes: Bagmen for the Transnational Oligarchy is an expose of the contemporary condition. It is a work of fiction that reveals the mechanisms of power and the invisible hand of the market. It is a masterpiece that will change the way you see the world.

fourth lobby fourth lobby fourth lobby fourth lobBY FOURTH LOBBY FOURTH LOBBY FOURTH LOBBY FOURTH!!!! LOBBY!!!!!!!

#Final Fest #Splatoon 3 #Splatoon spoilers #Splat3 #FOURTH HUB AREA????? FOR THE SPLATFEST???????#Do you think they'll be shops? And new shop keepers?#I doubt it personally very late in the game to give us new characters #But I coooooould see a return of Crusty Sean #And maybe the owner of Hotlantis finally makes an appearance?#I imagine it'll be a temporary place only for build up to and during Final Fest #I say during build up as well because we have the shots of the idols not in their final fest fits #So we must be able to access this lobby sometime not during final fest #It's kinda hard to tell what's scene setting and what's place you can actually stand #Because like. The big all three groups stage is FULL of Jellies #I feel like that'd slow the game down a LOT and even if it didn't there's no squid NPCs on the floor as well #So I doubt it's somewhere you can actually have your Inkling stand... which is odd given it's where the big Concert is happening #I dunno I dunno....

oh i am so mad at cis intersex people rn i cannot do this

#personal #im at work so i don't have time to go into the whole rant but just know that im screaming #maybe i will come back and elaborate in a second #but all im going to say is don't you fucking dare say that you think trans people get too much attention #without fucking acknowledging the incredibly transphobic history of almost all us intersex organizations #how most diagnosis specific groups are incredibly transphobic and actively lobby AGAINST intersex affirming legislation #i can't get into right now #but i am so fucking done with cis intersex ppl publically advocating for things that enforce the sex binary and then #getting mad when trans intersex ppl say 'transphobia in the intersex community is a problem

ohh ohhhh... luffy's dream is having a massive party

it's both so very luffy but also childish and easy for someone to laugh at

#one piece #one piece spoilers #in the tags!!#we already know one piece is gonna end in a massive party since oda said so himself #roger was too early because of circumstances like shirahoshi not being born to help pilot noah and #momo being too young to talk to zunesha #noah and zunesha are both massive and can easily carry hundreds if not thousands across (or up) through the ocean #there's so many factions and islands and kingdoms and groups and luffy has affected so many lives by #not minding his own business #he's someone who could easily bind all the places he's been to together because of his ability to draw people close to him even without #meaning to #whatever one piece is- the search for it has turned into a treasure hunt and a scavenger hunt in the form of the road poneglyphs #the road poneglyphs leads to the rio poneglyph also but- it's like a game #joyboy has sent everyone on a wild goose chase #and whatever one piece is i could easily see luffy 'using' or 'exchanging' it for his massive party viva la post enies lobby style #could you imagine #''you used the treasure one piece for a party??''#''yeah lol''#can you see it

Excerpt from my divorced/still pining Paulucchi AU

The gist here is that Paulie and Lucci got married and subsequently divorced in during the five years CP9 was undercover. They divorced due to "irreconcilable differences" caused by Lucci insisting on only communicating via ventriloquism and Paulie's gambling addiction, but secretly still love each other.

Their pining is so ridiculous that CP9 and the Galley La foremen are actively scheming to get them back together. Iceburg is on the verge of making Paulie attending therapy for his gambling addiction a requirement for continued employment.

----------------------------------------------------------

"They still love each other! I've never seen two fellas so obviously in love. Why can't they spare us the pining and get back together?" Kaku groaned and slammed his face into the table. "Lucci spent two hours silently staring at their wedding photo last night and drinking. Two hours!"

Iceburg gently pat Kaku's shoulder and refilled his glass. "Nma, Paulie did the same thing last week. Neither of them is taking the divorce well."

The self-proclaimed "Paulucci Pining Support Group" met twice a week in the back room of Blueno's Bar. In theory(according to Kalifa at least) they were supposed to discuss the latest development in Paulie and Lucci's relationship. In practice, these meetings were where they ranted about whatever pining nonsense they'd been subjected to since the last meeting.

Kaku got the worst of it since he was Lucci's roommate and Paulie's friend, but they'd all been caught by the pining drama before. Not even Iceburg was safe.

#one piece #one piece au #paulie one piece #divorced au #rob lucci one piece #mentioned #iceburg one piece #kaku one piece #This is nonsense #but I wanted to write the support group meeting #This group continues meeting even after enies lobby btw #Not even betrayal will stop that pining

#do the people who write/edit/publish/approve these articles not hear how insanely dystopian this sounds...#capitalism #reminder this is not a free market #in fact the USA is only rated around the 25th least govt regulated market #and isn't it convenient #how it's the ultrawealthy corporate lobbying groups who are able to influence much of what regulations the USA DOES have 🙄#groups like ALEC that are comically evil - like straight up cartoon villains #Cruella de Vil irl type shit #and they just WRITE LAWS that will make them richer at the expensive of all the rest #and essentially legally bribe the actual so-called lawmakers to push their bills through #that isn't democracy... obviously #turns out the invisible hand is just a giant goddamn middle finger. shocking.#capitalism as a theoretical concept relies on the idea that transactions will be entirely or at least predominantly voluntary #and that both parties in the transaction will act out of self interest #but somehow everyone making transactions out of pure self interest and nothing more #ends up working to the benefit of society on the whole #which doesn't really hold water to begin with but gets even more laughable when you take into account that #it falls apart at stage 1 when you realize transactions can't be truly voluntary if #one party is struggling for survival and the other just wants a 7th yacht

love getting youtube ads saying "oppose the durban marshal credit card bill, it lets credit card companies STEAL you data!!!" with a big "PAID FOR BY ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS COALITION" along the bottom and then googling the bill and finding out it aims to lower credit card fees and lessen visa and mastercard's monopoly over the credit card world. and just thinking "did they for real. call their lobbying group 'electronic payments coalition' and then think it wouldnt be obvious thats what it is? or that they have ulterior motives in opposing this bill?" like. you couldn't even call it like, the data safety coalition or something to try and make the lie look believable?

#fucking incredible #origibberish #literally the third link about then on google says theyre a lobbying group that represents the interests of big banks and credit card #companies #or sorry you have to google electronic payments coalition members for that to be the third one. whatever it was sourcewatch #w/e the point is that this is literally visa and mastercard shills pretending to care about data safety so they dont have to lower fees

My mum who just fled the Vietnam war and arrived late 70s when Malcom Frazer was PM was given the option to study at uni for free (she didnt because of filial piety which is why I fucking hate it culturally) as a refugee and had decent grades. Even when my sperm donor who struggled with school and was a south Viet conscript had vet support + refugee support if he wanted to pursue education (he didn't because he was a cunt + undiagnosed ADHD and addiction issues).

Now, if you're a refugee, you literally need to cough up your own money for that. And have a support network to boot, esp if you bring your family and children/dependents with you. Since those programs my parents had access to have their funding slashed by a fuckton.

Me, their spawn several generations later and born in this country? Had to cough up only $23k for student loans (not incl. inflation since HECS loans index not via interest but via inflation), and I graduated at over a decade ago. And I've been looking to go back to uni again for a career change and that amount is for a year and a half of the degree I was planning (not to mention the hardship scholarship I can qualify for has not scaled up for inflation since I was in uni either). And I did a double degree that wasn't in medicine for that $22k over ten years ago.

So yeah. I have an axe to grind with those politicians who got free education but then scrapped it for votes and to fatten the checks of their rich besties.

#refugees have it fucking worse now than before #please for the love of god lobby for more foreign aid and support for refugees #even the bare basics of refugee programs like english courses have their funding slashed so badly #also countries whether last few decades like the US and Australia or historically like the UK severely reduce refugee intake too #like these countries fuel war over generations and say no to people fleeing these wars #please donate to local grassroots refugee advocacy groups and support groups they often rely on donations #nerozane rants #i dont talk about Aussie politics because it makes me angry and then depressed and i cant really afford to have that mood drop #its why i dont talk politics in general aince its easy to just feel hopeless and just sleep for days which i cant do

yknow i noticed the small steps method doesn't help me and only stresses me out more. and like i just get stuck on the first step anyway and never move on to the next one, i'll probably even go back to the start eventually really. i'm apparently an all or nothing guy i can't think of an action as multiple actions bc it stresses me out i just need to either do it or not. the problem is i usually end up not
