Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
Alien *visiting* : Your planet is indeed very beautiful and full of life. Too bad that rock up there, all bland and ugly, is ruining the night sky.
Earthling *already pulling out a knife*: What the fuck did you just say about Her ?
I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff
remember when you used to look stuff up and the first result was always wikipedia :(
HOW TO STAY UNBOTHERED!
1. Never say more than necessary.
2. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.
3. Lower your expectations from others.
4. Let your success do the talking.
5. 10 people 10 different opinions. Stop pleasing.
6. Remember your haters are your fans.
7. Don't be afraid to say "NO".
9. Know your truth and be okay with someone else not believing you.
10. Stop taking things personally.
• Let go of control: You can't control others' actions or words, just your reactions.
• Humor: Learn to laugh things off when appropriate.
• Set boundaries: Limit contact with negativity and prioritize supportive people.
• Communicate clearly: Ask for clarification Instead of assuming negativity
• Shift your perspective: Consider the source and if their comment reflects on them more than you.
• Focus on what you can control: Improve your own communication and self-care.
• Thicken your skin: Build strong self-worth and know your value.
11. Healthy detachment.
• Let people be who they want to be, then decide if you want them in your life.
• Trust that rejection is always redirection to something bigger and better.
• Some people are only meant to help you grow, not be in your life forever.
• What if everything is falling apart to come together in a way you can't guess?
• Focus only on what you can control.
Y'all practical effects bitches are really sleeping on the Mission: Impossible movies.
"Oh everything is CGI these days!" Mission: Impossible uses practical effects whenever it's safe to do so, and their definition of safe is incredibly skewed because Tom Cruise is, frankly, batshit insane.
The man refuses to use stunt doubles because he insists the audience can tell when it's not him. He's apparently one of the best stunt drivers in the world. He drove up a cliff and skidded to a stop right on the edge for real in Dead Reckoning. He got a fucking helicopter license and spent like three years training for the climactic scene in Fallout.
Most of the helicopter chase in Fallout was real. The midair oxygen-tank swap in that movie was also real. They practiced for it in a wind tunnel and then did the real thing in freefall.
When Tom Cruise dies, it's either going to be because he realized Scientology was a crock and tried to get out and they fucking killed him (highly unlikely that he'll ever come to that realization), or because his luck finally ran out while filming a stunt for a Mission: Impossible movie (significantly more likely).
Seriously, if you have the blu-rays of any of these movies, I strongly encourage you to watch them with the director's commentaries. Especially the ones directed by Christopher McQuarrie. That man has an almost pathological distaste for CGI (and when they do have to use it, he's incredibly respectful and complimentary of the people who do the special effects).
Do yourself a favor and watch these movies. They're not just kitschy action flicks. They're kitschy action flicks with a metric fuckton of practical effects, and a production team that really cares about the stories they're crafting.
Arthur Rimbaud (b. 20 October 1854)
Until they start sabotaging tanks and fragging their officers, you should not give the slightest fuck about Israeli soldiers or their supposed trauma. If bulldozing living people and blowing up ancient Lebanese cities is so disturbing to them, they should channel their disaffection into the only action that matters: disobedience.

All of these will help you interpret and confront the realities of colonisation, and ideally help us understand and extend solidarity to comrades around the globe. Decolonise your mind, and don’t stop there!

"I should kill myself": self-serving, reactionary
"we should all kill ourselves": building community and connection, ideologically correct

a comic about fix-it fanfics
earlier this year Baerbock and Scholz claimed to have seen non-existent rape videos of Hamas militiamen. now there's actual, real videos of IDF soldiers raping arbitrarily imprisoned Palestinians, and naturally there's complete silence
