steal everything that isn't nailed down come back later with a crowbar

FUN FACT

Many designer brand names make their big designer labels and their affordable lines BOTH in fast fashion sweatshops with similar quality of labor, pay, and other detrimental factors. One of the major differences, of course?

The price they charge you, the consumer, for the finished product.

Paying more for a name brand doesn't free you from fast fashion, because fast fashion is not a consumer issue. It is an industry level failure.

The other thing so-called ‘prestige brands’ will do is bring in workers from countries where labor is cheap (like China) to places like France and Italy, pay them garbage wages, treat them like shit, and slap a ‘made in Italy’ label on the product to sell it for thousands.

Article on the topic from 2018. Similar to the exploitation of U.S. immigrant ag workers, basically.

It's like how "Made in U.S." can mean made with prison slave labor. Or how a chocolate company can advertise their chocolate as sustainably sourced, except this is a self-determined label and may or may not exclude the use of child slave labor. Or how you can boycott a company but still end up giving them money because it turns out they also own dozens of other brands.

These problems really need a government regulation solution, not a consumer solution.

I know I bring it up every 3-5 business days but so many horror, fantasy, and period film/tv would benefit from being shot on film. it’s better if we don’t see the details! it’s better if the haze smooths out pores and the prosthetics! if there’s more shadows & grain! not everything is not meant to be consumed in 4k

If you are seeing this after November 21st 2023 do NOT come crying to me about it being too late. That ain’t my fault. I Do Not Control The Rate At Which Turkey Thaws

A perfect balance of extremely impressive and completely ridiculous.

Apple trees are DETERMINED. My parents planted a twig of an apple tree, and that first year it grew one apple. And the whole thing was bent over from the weight of it. It had one job and by God it was gonna do it.

she did such a good job I’m so proud

ok not to clown but i looked at cw_supernatural instagram and the activity really does look suspicious as hell. after they stopped advertising the finale 3 years ago they made 29 posts, most of which were promoting the winchesters (14), some about gotham knights, two about walker, 3 happy birthday posts to jensen ackles (it's hilarious because. he is the only one being wished happy birthday on the official insta acc and between happy birthday jensen ackles in 2021 and happy birthday jensen ackles in 2022 there was NOT A SINGLE OTHER POST on that account. i'm crying) then whoever is running this thing posts on may 25th 2023 about the official supernatural cocktail book. and then radio silence until september 22nd, and since then an almost regular once a week post. the first one is the brothers of course but the next one is dean and crowley captioned "We could really use more of this duo.🍹" like girl yes but what is going on. also the actors' strike is happening so what are you doing why are you promoting a dead show like that? why "And the story continues.. #Supernatural" ????? why "A taste of normalcy for Dean."??????? and then 3 hours ago "No one smack talks like Castiel." ?????? why are you casbaiting me 3 years after that godforsaken finale what are you cooking up what is going on i demand answers and my tinfoil hat stays ON

*sounds of squeaky clown shoes multiply*

option 1: they're going to make more supernatural

option 2: they were hacked but the hacker is just posting about supernatural and they didn't even notice

option 3: account is haunted

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than 1/4 of your income.

Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.

After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.

The housing market is a fucking travesty.

Hmm what happened in the mid eighties....

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

The really funny thing about Data playing poker with the rest of the senior staff is that, like... with the way his brain works he's constantly aware of numbers and calculating probability but he would also know that counting cards is against the rules so does he just try to ignore it. Does he pretend not to. Can he like actively choose to discard that information as it comes in so he just forgets every .005 seconds

Data trying his absolute hardest not to accidentally rain man his coworkers. I'm autistic I can make that joke. Data sitting there not so much "playing poker" as "playing playing poker," as in, doing his best approximation of a human playing poker. He has an algorithm figured out for it. Semi-random to appear more natural, like how his blinking is timed. He is having fun btw. Data loves playing humans

He isn't trying to win at poker he's trying to win at being in a social situation & he has found that people like it more when they win a certain percentage of the time. The game Data's playing in his head is not the same as the game everyone else is playing
