You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

It has been very hard to know what to say in the light of all the atrocities we've witnessed in Gaza these last few months, but harder still to stay silent. I'm heartbroken pretty much all the time, but I think we cannot look away; for all that it's worth, I will continue to march and learn and boycott and call for a permanent ceasefire.

Olive trees grow deeper than the occupation can reach. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

Fat Cat from FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE vs His Majesty from Baldur's Gate 3. Vote for your fav!!

Need help picking? Check down here!

Fat Cat - Square Enix - 2014 - Calico cat:

Chonky mother fucker, just look at him, he is peak perfection, I love him

And not official propaganda but I guess this is his mother:

His Majesty - Larian Studios - 2023 - Sphynx cat:

-His Majesty is a pampered little kitty who lives in an inn in the middle of a cursed land he doesn’t care about. If you talk to him with speak with animals on he will say “hiss I say! Hiss!” And tell you to get out of his territory. You can tell him you’re here to admire his beauty and he will let you look at him and tell him he’s a beautiful cat. When the game first came out he was a hairless cat, which was apparently a mistake when making the game and he was given the appearance of another cat in the game instead of his own, so the game developers “fixed” it in a patch and made him furry. This sparked outrage in the fan community and everyone was demanding that they “Shave His Majesty”. A few days later they released a hotfix to shave his majesty and return him to his glorious furless self. 

-he is a very sweet boy 

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.

most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen

A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death

Self-shippin and lighthearted stuff like that seems fine to me, but I think the word pro-shipper kinda talks about like incest and pedo behavior more than anything else

and what I'm telling you is that it is not your place to vet the content other people are making to align with what you think is acceptable. no one has any right to tell anyone else what they can and can't make. if it's fictional, then no real life people are being hurt. if you want to prioritize the safety of real life people, then get involved in your community. if it gives you the ick, hit the bricks, it's not anyone else's job to pander to what you're comfortable seeing and it's a BASIC skill to understand any of this.

people have reasons for making the shit they make. your ick dark topic is someone else's exploration of their trauma, or pushing horrible things that happen in real life to their logical extremes, or honestly even just "wouldn't it be fucked up if this happened?" yeah, it would be! but it was entertaining to watch.

the act of creating or ingesting victimless fictional content does not equate to real life violence or morals someone might hold. game of thrones was huge in mainstream media and it's full of incest, rape, murder, etc. how do you with your narrow world view of "okay" content justify that? or the walking dead, or breaking bad? car crash compilations or guro fanart?

sometimes just the act of creating something dark and entertaining is enough. people have been doing this as long as we've been telling stories. get over it.

Bakugo hot take: his character would have been better if he was a girl. This would also make him even more controversial. I will not elaborate.

Oh god this makes me wonder if. Okay so. I’m about to say something cursed. And I know I’m going to get hatemail about it (or at least very passionate explanations about why I’m wrong).

Before TikTok gets forced-Americanized, can we all acknowledge that it was fucking stupid, and also really racist, to have said shit like, "TikTok is so bad because it gives your private information to China" when EVERY platform has to give their private information to the US if they ask AND they can sell it to the highest bidder?

Froot Loops Is in Hot Water

End Wokeness, an account on X, formerly Twitter, with more than 1.9 million followers, shared photos of the Froot Loop boxes in question, alongside information regarding the brand's digital library. "Fruit Loops is now encouraging kids to go online and read their free library of woke propaganda," read a caption alongside the images.

==> You feel strangely compelled to vote for the spider woman.

Online trolls are predictably spreading around a fake screenshot, claiming it is from Aaron Bushnell's Reddit account, and states that Palestine will be free only "when all the Jews are dead."

This is a fabrication and a fake. Don't get fooled and don't share.
