Half of me: Blue and Yellow are going to have to confront eons worth of sins, war crimes, prejudice, the creation and enforcement of biological castes, the removal and dismantling of the very notion of consent, their part in upholding the lies that gems are solitary, unchanging, incapable of love or companionship, downplaying gems own physical abilities leading to entire swaths of gem culture untapped, and that’s not even mentioning the eugenics, use of unconventional (by gem standards) weaponry, the corruption weapon. They’re going to have to face the fact that they won’t be able to atone for all of that (especially re: Pearl) even if it turns out that the theory that White Diamond outranks all other diamonds in terms of superiority and my personal theory that Blue and Yellow are off-color diamonds like Pink was is true and that I’m actually spot on about Blue and Yellow not knowing the full extent of the corruption weapon’s effects on gems (as implied by Blue and Yellow thinking that they’d simply killed all the gems on Earth instead of corrupting them). There’s just no way they’re going to get all of the Crystal Gems to trust them just like that, at the very least not without a big rant from Pearl about how they could have just listened to Pink 5700 years ago instead of ignoring her and continuing to expand their genocidal colonialist empire.
I think we should stop using “chicken” as a word for “coward” because have you ever met a chicken? Chickens ain’t scared of shit. Chicken is ready to throw down at all times.
Thank you, this is a very mature response. No hard feelings here.
You might want to try the show, if you get the chance. The early episodes are really silly, like a lot of kids’ shows, but tend to contain important wordbuilding for the less goofy later episodes. My opinions on the individual episodes vary, but overall it’s one of my favorite pieces of media that I’ve seen yet.
I don’t know this guy, I just follow him on Twitter, but I’ll encourage you, if you’re on Twitter, maybe go and hit that retweet on these too – folks there need this advice as much as we do here.
Dude, I think a lot of people give many shits. If you don’t like it, you can either blacklist its tags or unfollow me, because I very much like it and I am going to occasionally say things about it.
So this morning our roommate told us there’s a squirrel in the house.
This afternoon Rune and I located the squirrel behind the dryer and managed to successfully scare him out a window. It took about an hour of trying to trap him, trying to grab him with gloves and a sheet and finally just pulling out the dryer and having him parkour his way into the window. We opened it, scared him that way again and he escaped.
here he is with his face jammed in a corner.
There are cage traps you can get for squirrels. You put bait in and leave it alone, the squirrel steps inside, the cage snaps shut, and voila! One squirrel. In case he gets inside again.
If you’ve spent much time camping or cooking outdoors, you probably know what I mean. If there are several people around and more than one of them can build a fire, they’ll be micro-managing the process and arguing and making little unnecessary adjustments.
My parents’ house is heated entirely by wood. I’ve been building and tending fires for my entire life, yet my father still compulsively interferes with my process. I pointed this out to him and he grew sheepish and stopped, but I saw it again and again at camp. Younger counselors who had no actual experience building fires would get really possessive and fight for control of the fuel, to the point of actively endangering themselves with lighter fluid or completely unmanageable flames. If I was charged with building the fire, they’d come over and interrupt me and accidentally put it out before it had a chance to catch. Some fucker would drop a huge log on top of the tinder and then scratch his head wondering why it went out.
PLEASE. Building fires is a practical skill and quite basic. It’s not a genital-measuring contest.
This is not an acceptable habitat for a hermit crab
This is not an acceptable habitat for a goldfish
Neither of these are an acceptable habitat for a beta fish
And this is not an acceptable habitat for a rabbit/ferret/rat/guinea pig/hamster/chinchilla/ or any other small mammal
Do your research before purchasing a home for your pet, dont just buy what the pet store tells you to. All of the cages and tanks shown above are entirely too small and lack many of the things needed for the pets they are intended to hold, yet they have become very popular in the homes of pet owners who didn’t look into the specific needs of their animals. Don’t make your pets suffer by failing to provide the proper care that they require. If giving your pet a suitable habitat is too expensive for you, then don’t buy the animal, it’s simple.
