Because they’re always cooking said kids in cauldrons and ovens - aka long cooking times at lowish heat. If you do that to fatty meat, the fat melts completely and the meat gets tear-it-apart-with-a-fork soft. If you do it to lean meat, you get tiny little sad meat bits that bring no joy to anyone.

well you did ask

Also there’s wisdom in fattening them up on sweets and other carbs. A meatless, carb-rich diet makes for more tender and flavourful meat.

Well yeah, you gotta get this shit right or it’s a waste of 40-80 lbs of meat.

plus if you feed them a high fat, low nutrition diet, they’re easier to subdue and less likely to run away, which would be a concern for an elderly crone.

WARNING ABOUT TEECHIP AND OOSHIRTS AND FAN MERCH ADS ON FACEBOOK + TWITTER

So over the last few days, i’ve had a lot of messages linking me to a facebook “Kingdom Hearts Fans” page that is advertising my KhBBS poster on sale, which links to a TeeChip campaign. DO NOT SHARE ITEMS ON THIS FB PAGE, BLOCK ‘EM IF YOU HAVE TO. IF YOU SEE YOUR ARTWORK UP HERE, REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO FACEBOOK–THESE GUYS WILL NOT ANSWER YOUR MESSAGES. This isn’t the first time TeeChip has done this, this is about the 4th time i’ve seen my stuff up there, and i’m super fed up. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR: IF YOU SEE ANYTHING SOLD BY TEECHIP/OOSHIRTS, JUST WALK AWAY, WARN OTHERS, AND DO NOT PROMOTE ANYTHING THAT LINKS TO THEIR WEBSITE.

If you havent heard about Teechip/OoShirts (the same company under different names, but TeeChip is the more rampant one of the two), they’re a shirt printing company that does similar things to legitimate sites like Redbubble, Qwertee, TeePublic, Once Upon A Tee, etc.

TeeChip run campaigns that last a day or two, and they primarily target pop culture and create ads that often shows up on Facebook pages or on Twitter.

ALL OF THE ART USED FOR THEIR DESIGNS ARE STOLEN.

They do not have the permission from the artists. While I can’t speak for all the artists, there is a vast number of artists who have complained on social media about TeeChip using their designs without permission.

Not only do they steal artwork, they scam people of their money by overcharging, mishandling orders, not shipping orders, printing shoddy items, and refusing to offer refunds. There have been numerous anecdotes from people saying that TeeChip will immediately charge their order but fail to send confirmation emails, or respond to customer service about wrong/shoddy orders. There have also been cases where TeeChip double charge people for a single order. If you go to their Twitter and Facebook, all you see are posts made by people demanding to know what’s happening with their orders, and for them to stop using art that they don’t have permission to print. If you want an extensive library of complaints to read through, go here to PissedConsumer.com

They’re also known to sell celebrity names/branding/current events/political campaign items under the pretense of giving the proceeds to charity.

They will ignore your emails, customer complaints, including dmca letters (i’ve submitted letters several times, they either do not reply or take days to answer, by which time the “campaign” i want taken down is already done and they’ve already made their $$$)

There are ads on fandom pages on Facebook that are cropping up like crazy, and often they’ll come with a compressed bit.ly or goo.gl link. So if you recognise my art or art from an artist that you believe didn’t give permission for them to sell, it’s always best to notify the artist and double check.

RED FLAGS THAT SHOW TEECHIP IS A SCAM:

*There are no artist profiles on their website, despite them saying that the designs are uploaded by their “users” and that copyright infringement is at the fault of their users.

*Their posts never come with a link to the artist or any credits to the artist name. *their “limited time only campaigns” always reset and stay up for days. *their ads and promotional tweets/posts are *everywhere* on social media, pushed out by bots.

*they take forever to respond to messages, if at all.

*one website will have them as “very good” in all their consumer reviews that are written in a very similar language, while another website is about 1500+ complaints of their company that includes photos to show the items received from teechip

Anonymous asked:

can you please talk about those protections to curtail executive power I'm really, really scared and could use the reassurance thank you

notbecauseofvictories answered:

THINGS A PRESIDENT CANNOT DO:

  • Reverse any Supreme Court decision 
  • This includes Obergefell v. Hodges, which made same-sex marriage a constitutional right; Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, which reaffirmed a woman’s right to choose first articulated in Roe v. Wade, another Supreme Court case. Grutter v. Bollinger, which instituted affirmative action, the entire body of Civil Rights case law, plus anything related to due process, including the right of minors to due process, your right to an attorney, Miranda rights, inadmissible evidence, etc.
  • (Even if Trump appoints the worst possible SC nominee, they still can’t reverse any of these decisions without a really significant case coming before the Court with new facts, and then they have to write an opinion stating how this case is different than that other case…it’s unlikely to happen.)
  • Write law or repeal any existing law
  • While traditionally, presidents have exerted influence on the legislative agenda (see, Obama’s role in advancing and promoting the Affordable Care Act) they cannot actually write or pass legislation. Bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions, and simple resolutions must be introduced in the House by a Representative.
  • Presidents cannot strike down law. Only Congress can repeal laws, and only the Supreme Court can strike them down as unconstitutional.
  • Presidential influence is just that—influence.
  • (And if—for example—you are hated by 95% of the party you joined last week, and burned all your goddamn bridges by insulting them at various points in your campaign…..they’re unlikely to partner with you in crafting legislation.)
  • Make any law or declaration that infringes in any way on the rights of the states
  • So in the US, most of the rights are reserved to the states. You name it, it’s a state-run power. Criminal procedure and law? States. Medicare and Medicaid? States. The definition of marriage? States. Insurance, health departments, housing, unemployment benefits, public education, all these are state programs. And the president cannot infringe on those powers given to the states.
  • (This is why down-ticket voting is so important, because Mike Pence as governor of Indiana had 800x the power he’s going to have as VP.)
  • Declare war.
  • This one is the most complicated, because with the advent of our “conflicts” in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. there has been a significant shift in the articulation of the war doctrine, and it is one of the least restricted of the president’s “restricted” powers. But, despite all that, a president still has no power to declare war.
  • Unilaterally appoint heads of administrative departments
  • Unilaterally make treaties with foreign nations

Essentially, while presidents have a lot of power, it’s mostly unofficial—they can’t make sweeping laws, they can’t overturn existing rights, the most they can do is refuse to enforce them (which is absolutely a threat! and a problem!) but we aren’t electing de facto royalty here.

Everyone, I encourage you to read this. This is important information that every American–no, every person should be armed with. Hopefully, it will stop some of the fear-mongering and help us all maintain a more logical view on things.
