Change My View: the USA would be better off if health insurance with low deductibles simply didn't exist (high deductible are fine, though).

I originally had like 5 paragraphs written out regarding this particular viewpoint, but in the end my explanations were redundant and quite conjectural. Regardless, I cannot help but still entertain my opinion. Without further ado (and context):
Russian AM & Chinese AM are just as sympathetic as “Prime” AM. CMV.

I always thought that a simple salad was in no way a full, satisfying meal, and I feel vindicated to know that like, most of China apparently backs me up on this.

Change my view I dare you my dears!
I hate it when people see an abandoned mansion in a video and are like “it could be reshaped into a refugee area for abuse victims or homeless” well what’s stopping you from getting money and donations to do that? It’s easy for you to say that when you aren’t the one going out of pocket for that isn’t it?
unhinged opinion probably

Batman: You need a new costume. That one provides no protection.
Danny: oh I cant.
Batman: You won’t owe me for it.
Danny: no I literally cant. Like if i remove it it just returns.
Batman:………. Explain.
Danny: look *takes off glove and explodes it into pieces*
*glove reforms on his hand*
Danny: see? Can’t get rid of it. It’ll just heal itself.
Batfam: …

there's something about butches reclaiming protectiveness and chivalry from an imposed "caring, nurturing" character associated and often forced upon women. something about how while straight men often try to present as careless as possible, masculinity and care are not only not conflicting in the butch identity, but inherent to it. there's something there.
#I've always been very fiercely protective of my friends and family#and i damn hated the idea of coming across as “motherly” so much#so much that i radically changed the way i interacted in fear of being percieved like some sort of mom friend#my views on this radically shifted since i started meeting butches#it also made me open my eyes to how people (esp femmes and other lesbians) actually see me and percieve me#theres an abyss of difference#and its an interesting thought#butch#butch lesbian#lesbian#butchfemme

Turtle Takedown Teamwork.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#tulu xuanwu#Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me.#The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.”#don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things.#We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play.#There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'.#The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice.#The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing)#A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard.#And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX -#LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together.#And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped)#But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone.#Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ.#It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing.#Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK
#I know it’s fictional but there is nothing more meaningful and real than the desire to be loved by someone else more than anything#and it’s killing me#I was out by lac leman one day when I was seven when my mom told me that swans fly as high as possible#and fall to their deaths when their partner dies#and whether or not that’s true. it fundamentally changed my view of love tbh#my grandmother survived breast cancer for 10 years as well as covid#but died ONE DAY after losing the person she cared about most in this world#love transcends nature#and this show is a beautiful example of that#house md#greg house#gregory house#hatecrimes md#hilson#james wilson#house/wilson

theology of gentle parenting
My mother believes tantrums
are inherently sinful, wrong
expressions of will.
I cannot agree.
Not least because Original Sin is
an Augustinian notion, but also
because I look at my son,
losing his little mind because
I denied him a fourth treat.
He has no concept of right and wrong.
He knows only "want" and "don't have."
He experiences disappointment, yet
without the grownup capacity to
rationalize and accept.
He screamed because I took a bath
too hot for his little body, and
because he was tired and cranky.
Say it is sinful. Say he is doing wrong.
Surely grace becomes so much more imperative?
He has no concept of right and wrong.
He knows only the
strong emotions of the moment, and
he is distracted in the next by his toys.
Or we take a timeout and help him calm,
teach him to soothe those emotions.
But why is it sinful? He has these
Big Emotions and no words to put them in.
Are not emotions from God?
Is it sinful to feel disappointed? Or angry?
The proverb says "be angry,
and do not sin."
Is not the anger accepted, then?
Are we condemned for emotion?
I cannot accept that. I cannot
believe in a God Who forms us a certain way
and then damns us for acting
as we're formed.
I cannot accept such injustice.
So I will show my son grace and gentleness.
Is that not divine?
And even if I am wrong,
if it's sin after all,
is not forgiveness, compassion, Love
the essence of the Divine?
#i keep coming back to this conversation#because i've had to break away from everything I grew up with#and that my parents still hold to#and the longer I parent#the more rewarding I find gentle parenting#and the more it fits my theology even as my theology grows and changes#my view of parenting and children is different from my parents' at the most fundamental levels#but the longer I parent#the more convicted I am that we're doing the right thing

something something when the facade of western "democracy" continues to crumble, liberals are faced with the choice of either abandoning the systems that facilitate genocide, theft, exploitation, racism, etc. or resort to old habits that do nothing to seriously challenge or dismantle said systems... inevitably many will fall back on focusing on optics/aesthetics and hyper-individualizing their approach to combat their feelings of helplessness etc. and/or to avoid confronting the systems in place that have led to this moment (which they are most comfortable in, because liberalism never truly changes the systems in place)
the problem is not, never has been, and never will be the *tone* or *conduct* of palestinians (in occupied palestine or the diaspora); the obstacles in the way of peace&liberation are not from palestinians or palestinian resistance but the continuation of colonialism, the maintenance of which is inherently violent and oppressive. the people responsible for the genocide going into its 4th month are not palestinians who liberals want to tone police but the u.s. empire and its glorified military base settler colony, whose existence is founded + depends upon the genocide and ethnic cleansing of palestinians.
#in other words. liberals shut UP.#tone policing the ones whose people are being subjected to genocide is just#straight up racist. and fucking shitty. and stupid. and not going to fix anything.#this has already been said but idk it just breaks my brain#liberals w a genuine interest in justice and change may be having their world views shattered right now#but i PROMISE that resorting to tactics typical of liberalism (focusing on optics rather than actual substance and structural change)#is not going to get u anywhere except for needlessly harrassing the ppl suffering the most right now (palestinians).

#what if i learnt there was no afterlife and so immediately told you i loved you#and then years later died for you thus turning you into my afterlife#wouldn't that be crazy#if you were yet again the only thing that got me to change my view on the world. contradict my principles#the only person who enabled me to become who i wanted to be#what if our souls do join some great unifying energy force but what if that great unifying energy force is each other. what then#what if i can only love you in the afterlife. what then!!!!#house md#hilson#house parallels#gif#+

As terrifying as it would have been, I like to think there was a moment of peace there at the end, among the stars.
-
So... this is the next part of the Shakarian comic, but it's not the big one I said would come next. I've made the decision to put that on the back burner for now and pick away at it a lot more slowly while I continue on with what I originally had planned. The next thing you see from me will likely be the Joker-centric part I mentioned a while back, but for now please enjoy this rare coloured comic in the meantime.
Part 1 • Previous Part • Next Part
#mass effect#mass effect comic#femshep#commander shepard#Outer Wilds is my all-time favourite game and when End Times starts playing I like to stop what I'm doing and just take everything in.#It's such a serene moment. I can't change what's about to happen but I can at least enjoy the incredible view in the time I have left#That's how I like to think my Shepard went out once the initial fear settled. Just taking in how beautiful the stars were one last time#so please imagine End Times playing in the background of this comic for maximum effect#mass effect spoilers#ME2 Spoilers#sharky art
