it's weird how people will be like "but we need Suburban Lawn so kids can play outside!" as if basically every kid isn't bored to tears by being confined to a yard that's nothing but flat grass.

like have you talked to a kid, have you spent time with kids, do you remember BEING a kid? "playing outside" isn't about Throwing Ball 1000 times it's about squishing mud, using sticks as swords and guns, making potions from plants, catching bugs, climbing trees, and building forts from brush and branches.

A highly manicured lawn has nothing to offer the senses and brain of a developing child. If there are no "weeds," what are they supposed to gather to make into potions?? I'm not even joking, what do you, a child, DO in a yard without wildflowers and mud and dead branches. I feel like my brain wouldn't have developed correctly if my outdoor space growing up wasn't full of chicory and asters and dandelions.

At least video games offer some dim imitation of a variety of stimuli

reminds me of this post in here that explained the differences of the west and east's idea of revolution and how the usa especially has undermined a lot the ability of their people to unionize and fight oppressive structures through its mainstream media cuz it brainwashes them into putting the individual fight on the pedestal. the superhero's archetype.

it's funny because I'm pretty sure that's actually the intended message of the ending of mockingjay too tbh.

the ragtag cool teenagers that go off on their rogue mission to kill the guy and save the day fail, and the revolution is won by the people that had been doing the long hard work all along while katniss is knocked unconscious, because she's not a hero, she's just been a figurehead/prop by all sides all along.

also the revolution is 'won' by murdering children and medics in their own side and the revolutionaries immediately decide to become exactly as evil as the system they've overthrown almost immediately because they're consumed by retributive bloodlust...

but I'm sure that's not relevant to anything either.

i also wanna point out that the inciting incident for the revolution (when it catches fire, if you will) may have been a few small acts of public defiance by the tributes causing an organic uprising by the working class of the lower districts... but it is basically IMMEDIATELY leveraged and taken advantage of by an outsider highly militarised power that starts calling all the shots and deciding how the revolution should unfold, instilling their own monopoly of violence and decision making over anyone that wants to resist the capitol... and the thing they consider to be katniss' greatest weakness is that she won't unquestionably follow the revolution's military orders

the hunger games books actually had quite a lot to say about the nature of the state and it's self perpetuation despite changing leadership... and it's wild to me how pop culture has boiled it down to 'mary sue everdeen saves the day with girl power and angst'

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone
