#so you have to stay in the military :|
Text
I'm rewatching fma 2003 and they're just?? so young???
Like Ed is insecure about his height and everything but he's also literally 1/3 of the size as everybody cause he's literally 12. And Al love him to death is such a kid. Like yeah, his voice is really young, but also it feels like sometimes he just doesn't get the big picture in a way a lot of the people (adults) do.
Everyone flames on Ed for how immature he acts post Nina and it's like he's and actual baby!! He doesn't drink his milk! He yells at people for seemingly no reason!!
#edward elric#alphonse elric#fullmetal alchemist#fma#fma 03#also watching that Barry the Chopper Episode is legit traumatizing#and afterwords when Al is like#'I wish I could feel the terror you feel#so you have to stay in the military :|#Im like#give him a day buddy#Love him though#Legit was me when I was younger

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED.
also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha
anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason
side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.
and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.
#I had a longer post w more bullshit in it but ukw nobody's even gonna read THIS one. so.#dumb ass cunts seriously LMAO just the individualism of it all....#we're all just selectively forgetting that most people join the military straight out of high school / after failing to kickstart#their lives so they don't know shit yet and they are categorically not educated and don't have money#you NEED money and have been groomed by recruiters ALREADY into believing this is#The Best and Only to make a survivable amount of money without a college education-- bc they can't afford college btw#and they don't want to take on student debt either bc everyone already knows what a big fuckeroo that is#recruiters WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET YOU TO JOIN. they will KEEP CALLING YOU. they'll answer your questions#to make it sound like this is going to be a GREAT life decision. you can get all KINDS of jobs (true)#they love to say the thing about how only about 15% of the military will actually see combat in any way#they love to list all the jobs where you will literally just be working at an office or a pharmacy or in tech etc etc etc#the recruiters are offering housing healthcare steady pay and BONUSES if you sign on for longer.#so you let your guard down because you were so scared of the actual fighting. BECAUSE YOU'RE 18 IN THIS SCENARIO BTW.#you cunts will not meet anyone who hates the military as much as people who are NOW DONE working in the military#you don't know enough when they get you and then either you stay placated by the benefits or you scramble away as fast as possible#the number one military haters are people who know what goes on bc they already did it#source: I LIVE NEXT TO A MILITARY BASE LMAO PEOPLE HATE IT HERE!! they are NORMAL PEOPLE#I need you to get it into your head that the people committing atrocities in war were NORMAL when they joined#and that for every person in the military who's actively shedding blood there's 20 who do PAPERWORK#and they both are being put in the same category by you!! and they are BOTH being controlled by the same system!!#sergle.txt#I hate yall I really do.

When I was a young excited physics student I went down to my advisor and asked for a job in a lab. Those of you who are in the sciences may recognize this as exceedingly common, most schools with science departments will hire undergrads for their labs both to give the undergrads experience and to have someone comparatively cheap to do the least skilled labor in those labs.
For me, the lab I was sent to was one doing cool photonics projects and I was assigned to a guy who was doing the theoretical modeling for them and I got put on a side project for them to develop a method to double check their results using Monte Carlo simulations.
Put bluntly, I toiled away in the little cubicle they had me in for about half a year before I transferred to a different school without ever having produced anything of any particular value other than a Monte Carlo simulation whose temperature readings were not taking into account the existence of a heat sink and therefore got overwhelmed by thermal photons in a completely inaccurate and unhelpful way.
Ultimately, many tasks, farmed out like this in a speculative way to undergrads, fail, certainly it's not exceptional that mine did and I learned a lot about the process in the process, so it wasn't wasted time for me, but it produced absolutely nothing the lab could use to further its results.
This is where it turns from a little anecdote about my work history into a morality tale, because what I have thus far deliberately failed to tell you is that the lab I was assigned to is a provider of radar services to the US Military. Had I produced anything of any value whatsoever the work I did would have been used by the US military to help with its capacity to deliver bombs. This is, unfortunately, as those of you who are in the sciences may recognize, also exceedingly common. Luckily, and through no foresight or moral thinking of my own, simply the inexperience of youth, I produced nothing of value but view the path they tried to set me down as a grim warning of what might have been.
I'm not asking for forgiveness, the harm I might have done was not done by me, although I'm also sure was done without my help. They didn't need it to be me they just needed someone with basic calculus knowledge who wouldn't think too hard about the connection between the work and the world, and they were happy enough that particular warm body was me.
So this is my plea, if you're young and getting involved in the sciences because you're passionate about knowledge and understanding our place in the universe. When you go to get that job in that lab that's such a good stepping stone to the next thing you want to do, take a second and look into where that lab's funding is coming from. If it turns out it's the military, maybe then take another second and really deeply consider what kind of thing your work can be used to do and if you would like some of the most bloodthirsty people on the planet to be able to do that thing because of your help.
I got lucky that I didn't help, but I'm hoping that with this warning you might be able to not help on purpose which is a greater moral good than what I managed.
#IDK been thinking about this a lot recently for obvious reasons#I should've known better at the time too to be clear I was just blinded by excitement#If I'd stayed at that school and that lab and got to the level where I could contribute#They would have happily sent me to the Raytheon office down the street#Where I would've been well paid as my soul chipped away at itself#And I will never not resent the structure of the system that had that future in mind for me#I feel extra foolish for having nearly fallen for it considering my grandfather's history as a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists#Which is in part because he didn't talk much about that with us grandkids in large part because we weren't old enough early enough#There's a lot I wish he could've talked to me about now that I'm old enough to really understand it#But back to the point tell your advisor 'I'm not comfortable working in a military lab do you have any other options'#That's what I wish I'd said#Meanwhile my dad (the legend) claims to have cost the military millions of hours of productivity and credibly so

Just thinking thoughts out here in ghost land ignore me but if Maths and DCWT no longer occur on the same brane 👀 then WHAT pray tell is the story of the Young and Rush who so clearly end up together at Berkeley in the DCWT universe? Literally begging for the cliff notes on them and/or headcanons cuz I have SO many ideas
#a world in which young goes to fetch rush and just stays is highly unlikely since everything always begins at circuit with the keys#but then again! Rush is the fixed point not Young or Telford - they have different backstories in each - so maybe it could happen#OR maybe young had to go undercover at Berkeley? to get close to Rush to protect him? or because GASP he’s the LA spy???#OR OR maybe young bounced from active duty and is a military/govt consult at Lawrence Berkeley Nat Labs??????? WAIT I LOVE THIS ONE#that is so jucy and enticing literally CWR hit me up any time to spitball (but I’m sure you already sorted it out)#THINKING THOUGHTS#cleanwhiteroom#cwr#DCWT#designations congruent with things#mathematique

(I planned to post it on last Saturday but it wasn't possible at the time lol)
I didn't think that my post about penguins' nationalities would create some kind of a chain of other people's headcanons... but I'm really pleased with that
Anyway - want to know from where an idea that Skipper is German originates?
I've found this, I think a year ago, on Skipper's wiki page (link there)... and actually created his backstory on this information, xd
#it's a wild story actually#like: he was born in communist part of germany (NRD) and after 1981 he emigrated to Denmark and entered military (and met Hans)#after “incident” he escaped to Mexico for 8 years and later he went to America found job and stayed there =v=#also - he got to know all penguins - in his teenage years he somewhat befriend Kowalski#later in Mexico he met with Rico and in New York he was introduced to Private (not long after that Skipper adopted mentally Private)#... and that's why you should go to sleep before 1am.#tpom#the penguins of madagascar#penguins of madagascar#i also have prepared kowalski's backstory... but it's not so “complicated” lol#but that's all... for now ;3#tpom skipper#(main reason that i hasn't posted it earlier is that i was out of my town for 3 days and editing tags on phone is... quite impossible)#rozkminy fandomowe

Bayou: this painting is a. Self-portrait of Joyce Veair she was our firat prime minister
Cirrina: wow... she's gorgeous she painted this herself
Bayou: Yes... She has so many paintings around the world. She even has one in Museum d'Alfonsino
Cirrina: really...... She's very talented.
Bayou: not only that, she was very intelligent and very outspoken....
Cirrina: what's this one
Bayou: this is a sculpture made entirely out of urchin spines it was made by tosh monui. Every month he'd shed his old spines. He would collect them and Stick them in a ball of wax until the ball was completely covered in spineies. After he'd take the rest to make a body, he would call them mace men because they look like maces with a body. He soon started to model them after cave drawings of primitive urchin
Cirrina: that's amazing....oh what's this one. This one is beautiful
Bayou: this one is called 'home'
Cirrina: it's a beautiful landscape....who is by?....... This piece was painted by One of the top students in krillarney School of arts and it's one of the youngest to be presented in This museum she has won several awards and has several nominations. We are privileged to have her in a museum This piece is called home by Bayou Ster..............wow same name as you
Bayou:.........ehehehehehe Cirrina. That's me this is my work.
Cirrina: oh..hehehe I'm stupid........ It's really nice. You're really talented....
Bayou: thank you.... This is one of my favorite paintings I used an old picture of my nan's old home.
Cirrina: I love the texture and the hills and trees. It's even in the river.... Do you have more paintings here?

Cirrina: wow .. . it's amazing
Bayou: it's almost 6 do you want to get something to eat. We can go to Mrs Cuddles to get some fried cod and hush puppies
Mrs Cuddles: Harold, bring these pines to table 7!...
Bayou: hi Mrs Cuddles!
Mrs Cuddles: Bayou how are you darling, Cirrina! Ohhhh... You two hungry? Let me get you something Harold, drop two more cod in the fryer!!..... You to relax. I'll get you ladies some sodas while you wait
Bayou: thank you!
Cirrina: thanks............................................. So you're probably going to think I'm really dumb but for the past 3 days I thought you were a guy
Bayou:.............hehehehe Did you?.must be the tentacle cut huh?
Cirrina: hehehe... yeah...hehehe... I'm sorry.....
Bayou: If I'm being real here I don't identify with anything in particular...if you see me as a guy I don't mind it
Cirrina: if you don't identify as that I don't want to
Bayou: I see myself as everything and nothing, masculine and feminine and anything in-between. I really don't mind Cirrina
Cirrina: All right if you put it that way hehehe
Mrs Cuddles: here you go! Fresh cod and a large bag of hush puppies for the road!
Cirrina: thanks how much do I owe you?
Mrs Cuddles: nonsense it's on the house. Kiddies eat for free here. Once you reach the age to drink you have to pay
Cirrina: thanks Mrs Cuddles!....

the issue with the 'harris cares about you personally and your life would be better w her as president' argument is that it just doesnt work for me bcuz ive seen absolutely zero evidence that harris/the democratic campaign cares abt any issues related to me personally or issues i care about. shes not a fucking candidate for me bcuz the dems rn treat being asked policy like its a silly stupid question u only care abt if ur a republican, Obvoiusly theyre better bcuz theyre Serious politicians unlike trump. obviously if she was the most supportive to me personally campaigner ever i would still not vote for her b4 the democratics in power who have the ability to do it Right Now without even needing to be voted in for it put a fucking arms embargo on israel and actually end the genocide. participating in a massive public genocide is not a Tiny Issue
#their whole campaign seems to be that kamala is going to make our military and cops strong and kill a lot of evil scary foreigners#like a Real Serious politician should#what about that doesnt feel threatening to you and makes you think theyre at all left#thats basically all bidens campaign was too rly. its between me and trump so the choice is obvious lol !#all they need is for trump to stay the comically evil fascist trying to run for the republicans every 4 years#and the democrats will get to have blue fascism without a fuss

not the worst of lapham's crimes but tommy's short hair being a symbol of recovery was evil.
#this with tommy's ''saving the world'' line is so.#it should have been longer at the wedding.#g36a20p027#like he doesn't get to keep any of the personality we saw him have prior to his recovery!#''a healthy happy man would not think badly of his brother's military service!'' all that really was the drugs + riley sr speaking#what about loving your brother despite believing the path your father's abuse has set him on is the wrong one... same as you?#what about reckoning with the fact that some of the things your abusive shithead father said were right?#tommy and riley sr shit on simon's service because they wanted to hurt simon. so it would have been the perfect plot twist#had tommy retained those views once recovered and in a better place. impactful even#but of course not. riley sr said those things BECAUSE he is an abusive shithead. and tommy because he was in a dark place#and it's so much more compelling to jumpcut to the most cartoonishly happy family of all time being fridged#like man simon changes the trajectory of tommy's life by loving him and staying with him through the worst of it#meanwhile tommy changes simon's life by fucking dying. and it's tragic but for me the emotional impact of this tragedy is tainted#because out of cowardice the writers kill tommy riley twice#first by discrediting what he stood for while an addict and only then by actually killing him off#you can even still kill him off. simon and tommy have a row about his being in the military and then boom dead family#keep everything about tommy as seen in the comics except have him be a counterweight to simon ''i kill killers not arabs'' riley#extra angst extra unfinished business AND tommy's character is not assassinated#FUCK! the comics could have been GOOD!#this is the exact same reluctance to depict anything even remotely anti-war that led mw3r's dogshittification#which is bizarre since my anti-war tommy conspiracy could still be vindicated through pro-boot eyes#since his role is to die his character coulda had a saving pvt. ryan-esque ''the naive are destroyed by the peace they advocate'' type deal#like them not having tommy believe the things he did post recovery reveal a genuine contempt for anti-war thinking#it's like the writers genuinely thought they wrote tommy overcoming multiple character flaws. nightmarish!#so i guess tommy's short hair is one of lapham's worst crimes as it reveals a disturbingly sincere veneration for the status quo during#twenty-fucking-ten of all times!!!

PASSES HIS STATE ALCHEMIST EXAM AT 13.L2. AFTER THREATENING THE PRESIDENT BTW#refuses to stay down refused to give up#mustang hollering at him gave him the fuckin motivation he needed to try to get their bodies back#doesn’t give a fuck about the military doesn’t give a fuck about serving his country or whatever. just wants to see his brother again#and will do almost anything to make that happen#kid who is so so scared but refuses to give that fear a voice. and just keeps moving no matter what#edward elric you are#insane JFKJWCKKWG#SHIT LIKE THIS WOULDVE BROKEN A LOT OF ADULTS#AND THIS 11 YEAR OLD GOES //PUT ME THROUGH PAINFUL SURGERY AND REHABILITATION FOR TWO LIMBS AT THE SAME TIME//#//GIVE ME ONE YEAR TO RECOVER ITS ALL I NEED//#AND THEN JOINS THE MILITARY.

2024 reads / storygraph
Masquerade
historical fiction set in 15th century West Africa
follows a young woman from Timbuktu, recently conquered by the the warrior king of Yorùbáland
her guild of blacksmiths were already shunned as witches, and their conditions worsen under Yorùbá rule - so when she’s kidnapped by the king to be his wife, she decides to accept that it’ll be a better life for her, as long as she can get her mother’s blessing
but as months go by without her mother being found, and political tensions rise, she must decide what she wants
#masquerade#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#ahh... I enjoyed this in the beginning but I ended up being SO frustrated by the MCs decisions and inconsistencies.#click the storygraph link above to read all my thoughts tbh im not gonna copy everything in here#she’s like man this guy kidnapped me and is drugging me and treats me like an object and probably is lying about trying to find my mother :#well I should definitely try and uncover and tell him about this uprising happening under his nose so I can help him trust me!#she tells us she’s desperate for freedom and safety and autonomy and yet she’s doing so much to stay with this man who#she’s AWARE is NOT giving her autonomy AND she doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else’s freedom or autonomy?#she doesn’t even WONDER about the slave revolts or blacksmith strikes other than how can she stop them?#she’s naive and innocent but she’s also viewed as this brilliant military strategist and cunning at court politics#other than these moments she’s very naive and doesn’t make any obvious connections about what the other women#or her mother are up to (which considering the amount of speeches about men underestimating women she makes……okay)#thing is like there was some great setup to go in some really interesting directions!#if you wanted to go down the route of her goals making her singlemindedly ruthless and selfish and morally grey and rising to power#then commit to that! make her investigate the revolution and give her a reason to betray them anyway.#if you want to make it like she TRULY had no choice in becoming what she did (because any attempt to escape or connect#with the revolution had tragic consequences) then do that! But she like…..never tried anything.#She just accepted everything and tried to help the king because…I don’t even know!#if you like hades and perspephone you won’t like this. if you don’t like hades and persephone you won’t like this.#(i thought it had just been inaccurately compared to H&P - not written to reference H&P)#agh. it could have been good!

There’s this thing I heard about it taking an average of 7 attempts for someone to leave an abusive relationship. I wasn’t in a domestic violence relationship but here’s my list of attempts to leave:
2015 - tried moving to college dorms with hope of staying out after that, couldn’t afford it
2016 - tried dropping out to work instead of continuing a major I hated. foiled by literally every concerned adult
2016 - tried transferring schools to the opposite side of the country, got talked out of it last minute
2016 - almost joined the Air National Guard
2017 - moved to a dorm hoping to stay out after that, couldn’t afford it
2017 - almost joined the Air Force
2018 - almost joined the Air Force again
2019 - tried getting into grad school on the opposite side of the country
2019 - spent one week trying to join the military again before I came to my own senses
2020 - ran away to my aunt’s house for a month
2020 - tried moving close by, stayed totally enmeshed
2021 - went partway down the path of getting a job in Texas just to get out
2022 - drove 1800 miles in two days with a car and a dog to a KOA cabin in nowhereville Washington with literally no plan
And somehow that one stuck!
If you’re in your list of attempts right now, keep going. Don’t give up. You’ll be ready one of these times and there’s a lot of the world open to you and ready to help you run when you finally can.
#love you#don’t give up#and I don’t have the answers yet and I’m not healed yet and I don’t know what I’m doing#but I can promise you it’s better after you’re gone#as bad as it hurts and as hard as it is and despite all the new problems you’ll have to face#it WILL be better#and it’s possible and you deserve it and one day you’ll make it#it’s not your fault that it’s so hard and things keep dragging you back or making you stay#just don’t join the military and avoid debt where possible and try letting people know you want to leave or move#and things will open up every now and then#and one day you’ll make it#and the big warm world will be waiting there#you have the rest of your life to explore it. hold on for that#I’m so proud of you and I hope we ALL make it out#from our families or cults or depression or the military or whatever else#I hope we all make it. I hope we all get joy#personal#abuse#trauma#trauma recovery

ive gotten 5 pallettes reconfigured and ouugh. the trauma
#DONT read unless youve also gotten to 5 pallettes . or do idc →#🦦#so spoilers#okay now the spoilers#so. i think order was born of the octarian technicians fear of change. they know a change needs to happen‚ obviously‚ or they wouldn't#have helped marina‚ but they were scared. their whole lives had been the military‚ they had only ever known strict order#and scheduled everything. big changes like a colorful world with chaotic happenings where anything can go right#but everything can go wrong. its thrilling but it's terrifying. they found such comfort in monotony because its safe#if nothing changes then nothing can go wrong and everyone is safe‚ right?#which is why Order was born. it is the physical manifestation of their fear#which is also why its so childish after you beat it. not because pearls blast 'shaved off some code' or whatever#but because what it is born from is ultimately something somewhat childish. they are so insistent on having their#way‚ that everything stays the same‚ that it will get violent. it is so scared that it lashes out at those who are ultimately only trying#to help.#i think anyway

the way republicans are trying to make the voting age higher but then will still let 18y olds buy guns and join the military and force guys into signing up for the draft, all at 18. AND ON TOP OF THAT they will force our young children to have babies. but they don’t want you to vote until you’re 25, unless you take a test. a test. but they’ll also still take your taxes!
like it’s so blatantly obvious and yet people still make excuses
#sorry im just mad#im not going to argue or debate anything with anyone#there’s no excuses#they’ll let you go to war at 18. or 21. but you can’t vote#you can buy a gun. but you can’t vote#bcuz ‘gen z isn’t mature enough to make rational decisions’ but yet they’re still good to buy a gun and join the military and have babies#they know that they can’t brainwash us all like they did the boomers#so they’re going to do everything they can to only care about themselves and stay in power#and they can go straight to hell#mine
