#logically flawed

[military-intelligence-innovation]

Results produced because of fabricated or edited data are always flawed at a minimum because they were produced because of inaccurate or in complete data.

If accurate and complete data did not on its own produce results that were produced because of fabricated or incomplete data, those results are almost entirely proven to be logically flawed simply because of those circumstances

Wait... I just saw the dormouse post. Those tiny, adorable things are a protected species? On an island where the general consensus is that it's abusive to prevent a house cat from roaming all over the landscape? How does that work?

I think you may be guilty of reducing an entire country to a monolith there, friend.

Yes, the UK has protected species - many of them. It has many pieces of biodiversity legislation, and initiatives, and organisations. It also has a mainstream culture of outdoor cat ownership. This is the same as almost every other country in the entire world. And like in every other country, people within it have differing opinions on these issues. There's no contradiction here.

Apologies if this comes across as brusque, because I don't mean it to, but come on. The UK has enough issues with exceptionalism by imagining it's uniquely special without others thinking it's uniquely awful. That's still British Exceptionalism.

tim "you should spend more time with kid curtis, maybe his smarts will rub off on you" shepard

vs.

darry "stay away from curly, that boy ain't nothing but trouble" curtis

and they're both wrong. when pony and curly hang out they simultaneously make each other better and worse.

[jackabbot]

everything else aside, it's such insane behaviour to ask someone you never said "i love you" to, to move in with you

[uncanny-tranny]

It is my sincerest and unironic belief that we must invest in preserving "old technology." The more we move to a hegemonic, easily-surveilled way of living, the worse we will find this world to be.

Letters, public phones and transport, cash, and so much more are key to ensuring both freedom of movement and information, but also to combat the surveillance state. We need to preserve the ability to both access the world but also to be untraceable. I truly hope more people start to recognize this. It isn't about nostalgia for the past. It is about ensuring that we are actually afforded freedom, from the richest person to the person who lives on the sidewalk.

Doodle dump. They're so family coded to me. Yes I love you, yes I think you're a huge dork, yes I am going to tease you till the day you die.

Because descriptions for the last two pages are long I will put them here instead of in the alt text! I was thinking about growing up in the early otts when gay marriage wasn't legalized and I didn't know gay people even existed... look at me now...

[ID: a two page comic of Phoenix Wight and Miles Edgeworth as kids in 2003 or whatever year that they're 9 in the time line. They are alone at recess because Larry got sent to the principal's office for trying to kiss a girl. Miles lies on the grass behind a half brick wall in the school yard, clearly upset. "AGH this is SO stupid! We can't even play signal samurai without our third samarai!" Nick crouches besides him looking kind of unbothered. "Well we could play something else like foursquare or-" Miles interjects "EVERYTHING ELSE IS BORING!". Miles sits up, crossing his arms and sulking. "They should make all the girls go to a separate school. Then nobody would kiss anybody." Nick notes a hole in his logic "Well, but boys might just kiss other boys then". "What? No, boys can't kiss other boys, don't be stupid." Miles says dismissively. Nick narrows his eyes. "Uh yeah they CAN". Miles leans forward, ticked off and glaring. "Um NO they canNOT! My dad told me boys can't get married to other boys, it's against the LAW". Nick responds "Married is different than kissing, genius. And anyway it's still POSSIBLE to kiss a boy". Miles is about to explode over being told that he's wrong, his face is red and he points an accusing finger out at Nick, who draws back in surprise. "well OBVIOUSLY they TECHNICALLY could, but nobody WOULD do it because it's a rule and people follow rules because they have to! And if you don't they'd put you in JAIL probably! So no boy would EVER kiss another boy OKAY?" Miles is tensed up waiting for Nick's response. Nick glances down at his outstretched finger, thinking about how he can prove Miles wrong, and gives it a tiny kiss. Miles starts screaming. /END ID]

Immediately turned off reblogs 😶

Ikr it’s telling as hell lmao, as is this addition from before they turned off reblogs

Like why do they think defining women accurately would put them and trans rights at risk…what happened to ‘rights are not pie and more rights for one does not mean less rights for another’ or whatever? Shouldn’t that same logic be applied here?

Towel - March 2nd - word count: 356 - @wolfstarmicrofic

“Honestly, I think we should all thank Dorcas for booking us this vacation,” Sirius sighed, staring up at the cloudless sky. “Tenerife is beautiful.”

Remus hummed in agreement. “And the weather is doing wonders for me, you know.”

“Well, that settles it. We must buy a house here this instant,” Sirius said, sitting up and pulling out his phone. “What’s our budget, dearest Moony?”

“We’re not buying a vacation house here, Sirius,” Remus sighed, still lying down on the beach towel. 

“Too late. I found a good one, Moonshine. Look!” Sirius shoved his phone in front of Remus. There was a picture of a beautiful villa with whitewashed walls and a large pool.

Remus looked at the price.

“Two million euros?” he gasped. “Sirius, we can’t-”

“Oh, but we can,” Sirius remarked smugly. “Dead rich bastard parents, remember?”

Remus raised an eyebrow. “Doesn’t Regulus have control of the assets? I thought you were disowned.”

“Nah, not disowned,” Sirius said, waving a hand nonchalantly. “My pyromaniacal hag of a mother just burnt one of my sets of documents. Grandfather Arcturus had another set and so did Grandfather Pollux.”

“So, you’re… the head of Black Industries?” Remus asked, sitting up. 

“Nah, that’s Reg. Gave that to him ‘cause I didn’t want to be associated with those bitches.”

“So, what you’re saying is that the current owner of Black Industries is over there making out with James Potter?” Remus pointed towards the shallows, where it was blatantly obvious that Regulus and James were sucking face.

“Well, if you really want to put it that way, then yes,” Sirius replied begrudgingly. “Anyways, do we want this villa or not?”

“I mean, you have the money,” Remus shrugged. “Why not?”

“Watch out, Moonykins, you’ll become my trophy husband yet,” Sirius grinned.

Remus sighed, lying back down and staring back up at the sky. “Padfoot, is this you telling me you’re going to propose soon?”

“Maybe, maybe not. Wait, what was the thing that the one guy with the accent said?” Sirius asked, scrolling through his phone. “Oh, right! Jaybe… or jaybe not.”

Remus groaned. “Sirius, stop quoting the Arcane voice actors.”

yea i rewatched the s1 finale. did a lil doodle about it

[dk-wren]

Maybe this is my brain overthinking things or trying to make connections that aren't really there, but I was thinking about this moment and the name Kojiro says, "Adachi."

Now, my first impression was that they are talking about ADAM, or Ainosuke. But as my brain processes and gushes over the OVA, I had a second thought (which is where the overthinking likely comes in). What if Kojiro is actually talking about Tadashi?

The reasoning behind my first impression was Ainosuke and Adachi start with the same "A" sound, and the flashbacks from Season 1 show that Kojiro and Kaoru skated with and were friends? acquaintances? with Ainosuke. Once Kaoru and Kojiro began skating and became more skilled, I don't think it's a stretch for them to try and find this person to learn from them or hang out with them.

As for my second thought, which may be a bit of a stretch, but the names "Tadashi" and "Adachi" sound more similar overall than Ainosuke and Adachi. Only the beginning T sound and the "chi" instead of a "shi" differ. Plus, if the duo overheard the name or through word of mouth, it's possible some of the letters/sounds got lost.

The other description to this skater who Kojiro thinks is named "Adachi" is that they are "crazy good." While ADAM is definitely regarded and described as such during Season 1, with his performances during S and the flashbacks supporting this description too, it is Tadashi who more or less taught Ainosuke everything he knows.

In Snake's beef with Miya, the crowd's chatter literally causes Miya to say that the crowd's talking about Snake as if he were ADAM. Even though Joe and Cherry's portion of OVA takes place in the past, there is precedence within the world of SK8 that Tadashi and ADAM's skating style is incredibly similar (again because of their mentor/mentee like relationship in skating).

And there is where it gets a little speculative for me, but what if the skater Kojiro is referring to here, is Tadashi, but who they end up meeting, and befriending, is Ainosuke.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know the full extent of Tadashi's life at Shindo manor or how long he's worked as part of their family. But, if he is truly just a "servant's child," not a lot of attention would likely be paid if he was leaving the manor to go skate. Away from the manor, Tadashi and his skill could have built a reputation in the local skate scene. Still not wanting to get caught, Tadashi may have worn another cap or hoodie or something to conceal his identity.

However, between this moment in the OVA and when Kaoru and Kojiro finally meet ADAM for the first time, Tadashi moves from just a servant's child to becoming a servant or worker himself. And because of this, he no longer has as much freedom to leave the manor, as well as dealing with a larger burden to not be "caught" skating as an employee of the Shindo family. So, Tadashi is somewhat forced to leave the local skating scene.

As this happens though, Ainosuke begins sneaking out and skating with a concealed identity. With such a similar skating style, people may not question if it's the same skater. Or, in not knowing Tadashi's true identity, no one bothers asking who exactly this new skater is. Ainosuke's skills causes him to maintain Tadashi's status or rise in prominence, overshadowing Tadashi's legacy. Until eventually, two new, talented (and not boring at all) skaters emerge and finally meet with Ainosuke. And, after watching him skate, because his style is so similar to Tadashi, Kojiro and Kaoru don't spare a second thought that ADAM may not be the person who they originally heard about, accepting Ainosuke as the "crazy good" skater people talked about.

Wait so you’re telling me Seth was the fourth of seven siblings and had an older brother named Jeremy who was the second oldest child. And Jeremy has—3 siblings (why did Cat hesitate before saying the number??) and one of them is an older brother. Something happened at the fall banquet during his freshman year.

I know it’s a stretch—but what if Jeremy is Seth’s older brother? We know Seth died, which would reduce the seven children to six, and leave Jeremy with 5 siblings. So maybe something happened in Jeremy’s freshman year that resulted in the death of two of his siblings? That could certainly tear a family apart. And what if Jeremy’s family blames him for it? What if it actually was his fault? What if it was his fault in the sense that something he did contributed but in a way that it makes no sense to actually lay the blame on him?

If he is Seth’s brother, that indicates he raised his siblings from the age of 12. There bio dad disappeared at some point. Also why did their mom disappear so often, forcing him to take on that responsibility? And further, how did he get from Arizona and raising his siblings to living in Cali with a family of politicians? Did his mom get married? Did she leave so often bc she was having an affair w some guy? And then they got married and moved the family or something?

A step-dad situation could also explain his dislike for being referred to by his last name, esp is that step dad sucks somehow.

I have so many questions man. The desire to know Jeremy’s history is killing me slowly.

This is a theory that may or may not be baseless and I might not be making any sense here. But do you see my vision? Do you see it?

I’m going crazy.

[box-off]

My theory for P3 is that he is what P2 thinks he could never be. Think of it, P3s character is very much different from P2, he's annoying, his humor, while edgy, is a bit more stupid and, you know, 2010's can i has cheeseburger type of deal, he is a fucking pedophile, and, in general, his actions, while they still hurt others, he's a lot more playful with them, which is especially easy to see in Paradise Lost. He messes with P2, makes him go through stuff and fight a whole bunch of people, what seems to be just for shits and giggles. While P2 nukes the city, because he doesn't give a fuck. As well as the "I'm not a bigot" thing, while yeah, I would probably say P3 isn't really that much more racist that P2, he is definitely homophobic! So, he's 1 point above P2 in his bigotedness.

While, yeah, both of them are Postal Dudes, they have the dark humor and edge, they express it differently. And Just, let me compare them real quick in physical matters.

P2: Balding, built like a chopstick, poorly shaved, greasy looking skin and hair, biggest eye bags I have ever seen.

P3: broad shoulders, visible body mass, stylish hair, and even tho he's homeless and drinks like crazy, some how he looks clean. (Bonus: badass gloves.)

Also, P3 has a very fragile masculinity, and while P2 could handle going around town in a gimp suit while everybody laughs? P3 was scared that someone will see him use a segway, because "that's gay". You make that guy go through what P2 had to go, and he will combust on the spot!

Lets also adres his addiction. P2 is a crackhead, no doubt in that, we all know it. P3?? You don't even have health pipes in that game, what are you talking about- (P3 does mention them, but since they are not present in the game, we can imagine that he either quit, or just isn't addicted to them)

My point is, since P3 is made up by P2's imagination, he is kind of the Tyler Durden for him. P3 is all that P2 is not. He's handsome, he's masculine, he's playful and stupid, and he gets the hot chick and he lives an amazing life and everybody loves him! But on the other hand, he is also all that P2 would rather dismiss and just forget as any other intrusive though that pops into someones head. Like, "What if I'm the president and I press the red button??" or "What if my Uncle is actually related to Osama Bin Laden and is now after me??" when you know fucking well that those scenarios are VERY unreal, and you just go "Yo, what the hell?? Why would I think about that??", P3 and Catharsis, manifest all those things into themselves, and this guy comes to life just to annoy the shit out of P2.

To finish it off. Imagine all your weird ideas and insecurities come to live into 1 person. They look like the perfect version of you, except they only speak in the most recent memes, and make your life a living hell, more than it already was. I would also drop kick his ass back to the back of my mind.

Having OSDD and playing STP and seeing how other people interpret the voices is crazy. Mostly because I attribute all the Voices as just being smaller parts of the Whole (You, the player) so it’s harder to take their flaws seriously when it’s like. Yeah but I’m not like that and I don’t wanna do that, ur just a thought bro.

Like L + Ratio imagine not being the guy in control of the body today, ANYWAYS-

(Mini ramble undercut!!)

It what makes certain routes like the Spectre so fun when she joins the mess and is like “??? Is it always this loud” because like yeah. Being apart of a system in real life is really just fine tuning the noise and making your own choices, especially since the voices are usually shown at face value and when you dig deeper they all usually want the same thing: To survive.

And when you realize that it’s easier to take agency of the control you Do have as the player and therefore the vessel. They each have their own different ways and thoughts of surviving but ultimately they either just want to survive or they want to survive and end the pain of the cycle they’re forced through.

They’re just thoughts, just voices, brought forth from trauma and trying to escape, give them grace.

All this to say, being apart of a system and playing a game that involves multiple voices is really just like playing a real life simulator and is probably why I have such an easy time playing and understanding the characters in the game
