first you must use that hammer to pound a variety of other tools into nails. once you have enough nails, your career can begin

The world of Pokemon is an anarcho-capitalist society.

- Presence of regional gangs.
- No central government.
- Regional currencies.
- Police, healthcare, and transportation systems are all run by local towns.
- Private organizations are the only groups that authenticate citizenship and professional credentials.

it's post-apocalyptic. things were very different before they invented the pokeball.

i wish someone would make a game where you build an ecosystem and the creatures arrive of their own accord and you don't force them to fight, but let them kill and eat each other in harmony as nature intended

speaking of american's problem recognizing prominent women, even knowing about american's history of musical appropriation, it still absolutely blew my mind to recently find out that the first artist to prominently play the electric guitar while incorporating elements of gospel, blues, and honky-tonk in what would come to be known as rock and roll was a black woman. not only that, but she directly got little richard into performing music

If you're trying to find an average trait in a population, then you need to use multiple binary characteristic measurements.

~52% of the population is female.

~99% of the population is not intersex.

Therefore, an amalgamation of average traits in a population would be a non-intersex female.

I mean unless you're into music history or going on Jeopardy then I don't know why you'd be expected to know or even care about it in the first place. New facts are created every minute but lives aren't equally extended. Given enough time and distance most facts devolve into factoids.

Like in the early 2000s I worked with someone who did Civil War reenactments and knew everything about the facial hair styles of the time, and back then I thought "huh I guess you gotta have a hobby" and now my thinking would be more like "was that a good use of neurons?"

Grunge was basically invented by a Black woman named Tina Bell who fronted a band called Bam Bam. This guy named Kurt Cobain roadied for them.

I’m a Washington native, and I never heard of her before like 3 years ago (her memory had a revival with BLM). Bam bam’s influence among NW musicians was enormous, but they never caught on with audiences. Tina Bell’s stage presence was something else, but audiences couldn’t accept a punk act being fronted by someone who was simultaneously Black and female.

Fun fact, bam bam’s drummer, Matt Cameron, was the drummer for Soundgarden and then Pearl Jam.

hoskins' mario is a powerful physical presence. he is an angel in the flesh. he glows with testosterone. plastic cg bullshit does not even compare.

I can’t remember if I said this itt already but some friends and I watched the Hoskins Mario movie expecting to finally see how bad it was, but we were surprised at how just middling it seemed. I chalk it up to a growing nostalgia for movies having to use practical effects. These days bad movies just look like interchangeable CGI mud, but the 90s Mario movie has an unmistakable visual identity that comes from its props and costumes and that’s kind of refreshing even if it’s not a great movie.

Nature is cruel and heartless

Rappaport
Oct 2, 2013

Cruelty is a human expression. Though I will grant you cats can be extremely cruel playing with their prey. But the fundamental tragedy of our existence is that nature is fundamentally uncaring about the fates of individuals. Evolution is a game of numbers, after all.

And of course ultimately the Earth will be consumed by our "mother" star in a fiery blaze that will scour the continents clean of life, and what remains of our planet will just drift in the cold voidness of space for the rest of eternity. Which won't even be an eternity, since the cosmos itself has a timer running on it. Nature just does not give a single gently caress about individual living creatures.
