me: queen elizabeth died

my mom: i know :/

me: people on the internet have been celebrating and making amazing memes all day

my mom: you have to be respectful…

me: why?

my mom: she did so much

me: what did she do?

my mom: she was the head of the royal family for 70 years

me: and what did she do in that time? what did being head of the royal family entail?

my mom: …

me: you can absolutely be sad because a person died. people can be sad. a human died and death is sad. but as far as her position as “head of the royal house” all she did was hurt people for the entirety of her reign, so don’t use that as a reason why people should be sad about this specific person. she isn’t more valuable because she was The Queen. if we actually look at what she’s done during those 70 years, she’s a villain.

#i didn’t want to overwhelm my mom she’s a liberal lol #so i didn’t go into it #it was just funny how like #classic the response is #“be respectful” no <3 #people are allowed to be sad as i said #death is sad people losing loved ones is sad period #but it’s so fucking valid for people to celebrate this #and i think if the people who are sad about this actually used critical thinking or listens to others #then they’d get why we’re having a blast with this #yeet my deet

Dc x Dp Prompt #7: Pavlov’s Ghost Would be so Proud

In which Jazz tries to play matchmaker and accidentally classically conditions her new friend, Jason, into liking her brother.

Basically, Jazz is a college student at Gotham U when she shares a Lit class with Jason Peterson and they bond over deeply analyzing the characters. Jazz isn’t looking for a relationship (maybe she has a partner? Maybe she wants to focus on her studies? I’m low key considering aro-spec Jazz but who knows?) but she thinks Jason would get along great with her brother Danny and decides she wants to set them up.

She bribes Jason into coming over to study or hang out with the promise of fudge and take out and incidentally observes him deeply enjoying said food. She decides that since eating food puts Jason in a good mood that’s when it would be best to talk up her brother. So the next time Jason came over she casually steered the conversation toward her brother’s recent endeavors to transfer to Gotham in order to be closer to her because he’s so sweet and protective. She then offers Jason a slice of cheesecake she had leftover from a lunch out with the some friends which he graciously accepts. Then, just as he starts eating Jazz goes “oh here let me show you a picture of Danny!” and shows off her cute younger brother to her friend.

She doesn’t do it every time she and Jason meet because she figures that’s be too obvious but every time he comes over she offers him food knowing it puts him in a good mood so she can talk up her brother. It’s just that she says his name or shows him a picture of whatever Danny’s been up to recently while he’s eating.

Jazz just genuinely believes she’s just doing her best to be a good wing woman. It’s not until Danny actually moves to Gotham and Jazz decides to introduce them that she realizes what she’s done. She invites Jason over to come meet her brother and watches her how when he sees Danny he gives him an actual genuine smile, not a polite smile you give strangers, but one with actual joy. This is followed quickly by a sense of visible confusion in Jason‘s eyes and Jazz starts to connect the dots.

She excuses herself to the kitchen to go get the snacks she was planning to serve as she looks down at the tray she realizes ‘Oh my gosh I’ve been classically conditioning Jason to associate joy with my brother’! She puts together that an unconditioned stimulus = food (specifically served in her apartment) -> unconditoned response = Jason feels happy/good and that by talking about and showing off her brother every time Jason eats she made her brother a conditioned stimulus for Jason to associate with happiness.

She mentally groans realizing what she’s done but then looks back over at Danny and Jason hitting it off and can’t bring herself to fully regret it. This kinda was her goal as a wingwoman after all. She brings that snacks over to see a flush on her brother’s face and the tips of Jason’s ears red and thinks with a big grin ‘Hey! Maybe if this goes really well it’ll be a fun story to tell at their hypothetical wedding!’

Don't want to put this on the post itself for risk of derailing it, but that post the other day about Terry Pratchett's early work really stuck in my mind. OP had sent in an ask saying that they heard some of Pratchett's earlier works had problematic elements (not unusual for a male english writer in the 80s) and they weren't sure whether to go ahead with reading the work anyway.

What I really want to ask that person, or indeed all persons who are hesitating over whether or not to read problematic works or works by imperfect authors:

What are you worried about happening, if you read a work with problematic elements?

I'm worried that if I read this art, I will run across hateful images or words that will shock or upset me

I'm worried that I will spend money on a work of art that then financially supports a bad person, and that thought makes me uncomfortable or upset

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and comment or react on them, and other people will see what I am reading and will think less of me because of it, or will assume that I hold the same bad beliefs as the author

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and I will enjoy them, and the author will find out about my enjoyment and feel emboldened to do bad things because of it

I'm worried that I will read works of art written by a bad person, and their badness will contaminate my way of thinking and make me a worse person in turn

Because these are all different answers and some of them are more actionable than others

#salty sunday #for the first: it's up to you whether you want to take that risk but keep in mind you can always stop if you feel discomfort.#this isn't school and nobody is going to require a book report from you on it #for the second: whether the author is even still alive let alone receiving proceeds from the work is something you can check on #if they're a more classic author and their estate/family is still getting proceeds you can decide whether you feel the issues of the author #are something worth punishing their family over #for the third: you can't control what other people think. don't try.#for the fourth: the author is gonna think and do whatever they think and do entirely independent of the response of the audience #assuming they even found out what you think ever which is very unlikely. see above about not being able to control what other people think #for the fifth: moral contamination is not a thing. kick the little fascist voice out of your head. be free

i did not have "james somerton stealing the title for his second apology video from hbomberguy" on my 2024 bingo card

#...but maybe i should've expected it #he actually called it 'a measured response' like dude are you fucking serious???#i didn't watch the video because it's like 40 minutes long but i skimmed through the transcript #it's auto-generated captions so obvs not 100% accurate but i think i got the gist and it's. uh. bad!#just a bunch of lame excuses and playing the victim. classic james #james somerton #hbomberguy

Foolish: You'll never take me alive.

[Foolish jumps off the platform before Pepito can lasso him and lands in a pool of water. Pepito follows him shortly after, and Foolish laughs as he takes the elevator back up to the platform]

Foolish: Alright, this time: Waterbucket.

(They were both fine; Bad, Bagi, and Mike all came running to help them)

Mr. Sims, what is your MBTI/Myers-briggs personality type?

No idea - I've taken the tests a few times and get a different result every time depending on my mood/the weather/if I'm hungry.

To be frank, Myers-Briggs is my least favourite type of zodiac - it's got no fun imagery or mysticism associated with it and some people actually take it seriously, because they confuse being boring with being psychologically meaningful.

At the end of the day, I'd much rather know someone's star sign (Scorpio) or which Scoopy Doo character they are (Vincent van Ghoul if we allow the apocrypha, otherwise Fred), because at least those give me a giggle.

#might have gone a bit harsh on this reply #so sorry to the asker about that #but ive had this question a few times #and this response has been bubbling away #cant wait for the reponses saying classic imfw answer or whatever
