I call this the create a new problem technique
my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help
I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida.
Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!
Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.
as a camera shy person myself, knowing she hides behind plushies is just amazing
Her and Yoko Taro are legends at hiding from cameras. xD
there's something uncomfortable about western millennials/gen z's deep obsession with watering Studio Ghibli movies down into "wholesome bean comfort flicks aesthetic uwu japan" when half of these people completely miss the point of these films and the complex nuanced topics they deal with, especially when it comes to post war Japan.
i don't think these people watched princess mononoke.
i don't think that movie gives me comfort aesthetic vibes. at all.
✨ why does studio Ghibli food look so good ✨
real talk we need to talk about general Americans especially white Americans and how they cannot process or comprehend non white media without watering down its roots tied to its racial background and in turn make it marketable and easier to consume for themselves.

good evening officer
don’t tell social media if you went to protests or not(especially if you didn’t), don’t give cops an easy way to track down protesters. punk life advice
the swears that non-native-english-speakers come up with are absolutely fantastic sometimes. my friend just said “she is fuck as shit” instead of “she is fucking shit” and now i cant stop saying things are fuck as shit. the weather is fuck as shit. my homework is fuck as shit. phenomenal.

there are cats loose on my post guys what do i do
also "all billionaires are like this" I am fully aware that Bill Gates is infamously a creepy and unpleasant individual but he also has spent most of the last couple of decades earnestly trying to get rid of malaria. having that amount of money is a huge structural failure and, again, he is infamously a terrible guy to be around, but it didn't turn him into a neonazi. this is not a 1:1 correlation. we really have to accept this when considering how best to dismantle billionaire influence from society. there are actually quite important differences between elon and, like, warren buffett
yes, a lot of rich people are really weird and out of touch and either ignorant of or hyperaware of their power in a way that makes them evil, but if that was not also the case for non-rich people, kamala would have won indiana
#didn’t he also try to capitalize off of privatizing the distribution of the Covid vaccine?#I admit he’s better because he’s trying to like get rid of his money as he gets older#but that’s a whole lot of capital to control
Sweetheart this is a literal right-wing conspiracy theory that you are repeating. He said in a press conference that a $10 billion investment in vaccines gives a general return on investment in economic and social benefits of about $200 billion, or 1-20. This does not mean "Bill Gates personally makes 20x his initial investment in vaccine distribution markets," it means "the global economic benefits of providing free vaccines outweigh the costs, which is why he encourages vaccine distribution"
If your principled anticapitalism is repeating r/insanepeoplefacebook talking points, it is not a good strand of principled anticapitalism!
#good lord so much of this website is cooked in qanon shit#bill gates is like up there in the conspiracist pantheon along with soros hillary clinton hunter biden and tom hanks#in terms of people they are Unwell about and make up random shit regarding#take anything you read from random panicky blogs online about any of these people with massive grains of salt
