This makes no sense
it literally could not be more straightforward
thatguyfromthatwebsite
It literally doesnt make sence, both have the same value, they're both $30
I think the failure of many people to grasp an incredibly simple, barebones metaphor is demonstrating implicit bias very well
This dude straight up stated the fucking answer and still can’t understand it, because he’s expecting the answer to be his own views lmao

No im not expecting anything its just a badly frammed metaphor
Bro you said the answer. Both have the same value despite different sizes. It’s simple. Basic. Elementary.
thatguyfromthatwebsite
But it never says that, it just asks you wich one is greater and the text ends there, wich leads you to thinking that one indeed has greater value then the other, and that the one with the greater value is the answear
It asks you which one has the greater value and what is the answer to that question?
thatguyfromthatwebsite
Im not about to argue over a focken tit size metaphor
Never underestimate the lack of reading comprehension on this site lmfao

Prayer for Uninteresting Times
Send me a slow news day,
a quiet, subdued day,
in which nothing much happens of note,
save for the passing of time,
the consumption of wine,
and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.
Grant me a no news day,
a spare-me-your-views day,
in which nothing much happens at all,
except a few hours together
some regional weather,
a day we can barely recall.

Illyana Rasputin in X-Men… #6, I think?
Illyana knows Scott all too well. Idie apparently doesn’t know Illyana that well. And of the current team, Scott and Magneto probably know her best, so if she’s not given “more responsibility,” it’s definitely not because leadership underestimates her.
I like the way Illyana uses her experience (and healthy paranoia) to teach here.
Yeah, anyone who is NOT aware of how damned smart the OG New Mutants are (and when not to let on), having grown up amongst the various X-Men, X-Factor and X-Forces teams, has not been paying attention.

John Boyega Calls Out Star Wars for Failing Black Heroes
John Boyega has once again spoken honestly about his experience in the Star Wars universe. In the Apple TV+ documentary Number One on the Call Sheet, he said Star Wars is “so white that a Black person existing in it was something.” His words reflect more than just his personal journey—they expose a long-standing discomfort within the franchise when it comes to Black characters in leading…
I am gonna do bullet points to highlight important things the article mentions.
•Talks about how Amandla Stenberg, lead of The Acolyte, addressed the hate she faced before the show even aired, calling it a “rampage of hyper-conservative bigotry.” In a show of support, Boyega commented on her Instagram post with a GIF of Han Solo, a symbolic gesture of solidarity during a painful moment.
• Mentions Moses Ingram faced similar racist abuse after her role in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Disney issued a statement defending her, but the damage was already done. Kelly Marie Tran was bullied so badly after The Last Jedi that she left social media altogether.
•Talks about The Acolyte: Despite solid performances and fresh storytelling, the series was canceled after just one season. Online, racist influencers celebrated its end, calling it a win against “wokeness.” YouTube videos mocked the cast. Elon Musk posted a cryptic message that many interpreted as support for the backlash. The hate was loud, coordinated, and encouraged by platforms that profit off outrage.
• Lastly it talks about the treatment of Boyega, Stenberg, Tran, and so many others shows that the industry still has far to go. Until major studios stand firmly behind their stars, the cycle of casting, backlash, and silence will continue. And fans like Boyega—who wanted to lead and inspire—will keep calling it out.
#and of course Boyega's Finn was the male lead of the ST#Poe being a late addition after they realised that killing Oscar Isaac off that quickly was a waste of good chemistry#Only for Finn to be supplanted by Kylo Ren of all bloody characters#And it feels like Finn gets reduced to a background player by the time TRoS rolls around#star wars

people always talk about evil clones like oooh a dark mirror oohh what if you saw what are cruel person you were/are capable of becoming. and well yes but what if you were the evil clone. what if you looked in the mirror and what you saw was so bright it blinded you. what if you had to know exactly how good you could have been.
There was a comic which used this as a key plot point, the name of which I cannot remember. People could travel to other worlds and see the lives other "them" had lived by way of making different choices.
It started a whole discussion about how that would make you feel.
Not sure if it is indicative of complacency, self acceptance or borderline sociopathy that it would leave me cold, and I would not visit those worlds just to see other me's.
The me I am right now is made up of the choices I made over the years. Some risks I took, some I did not, and there have been good and bad consequences from each decision, as there always will be.
If one me made different choices and succeeded, then I wish them well.
If another me made different choices and failed, they have my sympathies.
I can't be them, because I never was them, at the moment of choosing we became different people.
That being said, no, I would not like to be another me's object lesson! :)
The problem is that we think the opposite of funny is serious. It is not. In fact, as G. K. Chesterton pointed out, the opposite of funny is not funny, and the opposite of serious is not serious. Benny Hill was funny and not serious; Rory Bremner is funny and serious; most politicians are serious but, unfortunately, not funny. Humour has its uses. Laughter can get through the keyhole while seriousness is still hammering on the door. New ideas can ride in on the back of a joke, old ideas can be given an added edge.

Saint Seiya, Samurai Troopers & Sailor Moon Crossover
Pegasus Seiya, Ryo Sanada & Rei Hino/Sailor Mars
Dragon Shiryu, Sage Date/Seiji Date & Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter
Cygnus Hyoga, Touma Hashiba & Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon
Andromeda Shun, Shin Mouri & Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury
Phoenix Ikki, Shu Rei Fuan/Xiu Li Huang & Minako Aino/Sailor Venus
May I ask the criteria you used for the groupings? Such things fascinate me.
I would have matched Andromeda Shun with Sailor Venus (Both have chain based attacks), Cygnus Hyoga with Sailor Mercury (freezing attacks) and and Phoenix Ikki with Sailor Mars (Fire based attacks)
I am not knowledgeable enough about Samurai Trooper to know their specialities, so it's quite likely your groupings are a lot more logical! :)
Horrible fantasy idea:
Every time the royal firstborn happens to be twins, the dispute of which one is the one who is the rightful heir to the throne is settled by division of labour: One of them is to become the future queen/king, and the other one is to become the royal jester. One can do whatever they want but must be very careful with what they say, the other can say whatever they want but must be very careful with what they do.
It is not exactly uncommon for the two to fight over which one gets to be the jester. But in the occasion when they agree to take turns on which one sits on the throne and which one at the foot of it (in disguise of course), it's considered polite to at least pretend to not notice the ruse.
Is this a horrible thing with legs or...a horrible thing with fingers? Or just a horrible thing?
That’s cephalopharyngeal, a word which ought to help. Thank you so much for thinking of me!
Wouldn’t it be cephalophlangi? Since fingers are phalanges, and pharynx is the throat
Ooooh yeah, that’s better as an accurate description - but no, it still needs the
🤌 flow
How do we feel about cephalodactyl? And we can use phalanges for “phalangipod.” Cephalodactyl phalangipod. How do we feel about that
The Greek prefix for "hand" is "chiro", so perhaps it is a chirocephalic pentapod, or maybe a pentapodactyl cephalochiroid?
I like “pentapodactyl” tremendously!!! but hate “chiro” in this context, and I don’t know why. Obviously I have no authority to be the arbiter of this but I do feel strongly!!
There’s a gorgeous rhythm to:
Cephalopharyngeal pentapodactyl monstrosity of the alarm
@elodieunderglass I'm curious how you pronounce "Cephalopharyngeal" - my instinct is to pronounce the opening as a dactyl, like in "cephalopod", i.e. "SEF-uh-lo", but the scansion of that line feels better to me if it's an amphibrach, i.e. "suh-FAL-lo"
The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus! Palmate monstrosity of the alarm! The sesquipedalian's best pernoctalian psuedo-mammalian hand without arm!
This maniform, bursiform, digital deep-dweller drifts through the darkest demersal domains, A five-footed fingerling phantasm floating full fathoms afloor from the foam-freckled main!
It hunts with its quick hyponychial cnidocytes fully envenomed and ready to kill! If nocuous toxicants don't cause cessation its rostriform mandibles certainly will!
By ripping and rending, it ruptures its rations with razorlike radulae housed in its jaw; Its great glabrous grub-grippers gather the gobbets to go in its ventropharyngeal maw!
The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus seldom comes skyward while it's still alive, But sometimes some singular specimen surfaces, stalking the shore like a deadly high-five,
So if you should witness, in perambulation, gressorial fingertips roaming the sands, I beg you, consider this simple hortation: observe from a distance, and do not shake hands!
HELLO!!!
