Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.
I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Do care. Did ask. Plus I hope your day gets better.

fnaf is such, a fascinating cultural object.
An extremely right wing pro life Christian weirdo attempts to make Christian video games but fails miserably and then immediately pivots to making one of the most iconic horror games of all time. Which is based on the Chuck E Cheese restaurant franchise. The game turns into a long running series with the most prominent reoccurring themes being stranger danger tropes, child death and mutilation, the things fathers do to their children, and the corruption of innocence. On at least one occasion he totally flipped out about people implying his work had CSA/abuse themes and called it degenerate. The series is incredibly preoccupied with the concept of immortal souls. It practically invented multiple other separate genres of online video media. Most fans of the series have never played it. It is now, functionally, a series for children.
absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.
The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.
Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.
Thank you. Historically cemeteries were treated as parks, and it wasn't uncommon to see people not only enjoying the grounds but actually playing games and having picnics there. Somewhere along the line we decided that these activities were inappropriate and that cemeteries were off limits and now people see them as wasted space because they feel too awkward to enjoy them.
They're not only beautiful green spaces but excellent public displays of history and art history, and if you care to look closely you can find out a lot just by studying stones.
For example- notice how few modern headstones are dedicated to young children versus the ones erected before vaccines were widespread.
The cemetery near here has the state's largest silver maple crowning its grounds. Many of the trees in older cemeteries are some of the largest and oldest trees in an area.
Cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Enjoy them. Go birdwatching in them. Don't be stupid in them sure but don't be too afraid to touch them either.
And for the love of God don't mindlessly support turning them into parking lots and ""luxury"" condos.

Jesus: *chuckles*
Joseph: What's so funny?
Jesus: You won't get it.
i do love that gandalf presumably threw a hobbit at a problem one time, and then it worked so well that he just. kept doing it.
the wizard equivalent of turning it off and then back on again is just "have you tried introducing a hobbit into the situation?"
Stop hiding your tags
I like the idea that Bilbo wasn't the first Hobbit he'd tossed at a problem. Every generation or so, he grabs a hobbit and sends them on an adventure.
i mean i have great news for you XD
Love that this implies that Gandalf had a problem with a fairy once, brought in a hobbit, and the hobbit solved it by proposing to her.
gandalf when his chosen Handy Dandy Hobbit of the moment went rogue on problem solving but also potentially created even MORE helpfully enhanced hobbits down the road

Do you think camel furries are more interested in spitting during sex or is that just bigotry on my part

Ok, when I spit on you for this, it isn't sexual. It's just raw contempt
