panel 1: Link and a Goron standing in front of a cave. Link asks “Wait, why do Gorons need a special mine for rocks to eat? There’s rocks everywhere!”

Panel 2: The Goron turns to Link and says “Hylians eat plants, right? Why do you need farms? Why don’t you just eat grass, asshole?”

Panel 3: A closeup on Link’s face, with wide eyes.

Panel 4: A closeup on the Goron’s face. He says “Think before you speak, punkass.”

Izutsumi from Delicious in Dungeon. A thought bubble is coming from her, showing that she is thinking about herself. The version of her in the thought bubble also has a thought bubble, and she is also thinking of herself. This recursion goes on for a while.

How about the progress pride flag? … Just realised I actually don’t know what the difference is between these two

The progress pride flag. A triangle of yellow, white, pink, cyan, brown, and black intersects with a rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. The yellow part of the triangle contains a hollow purple circle

Incorrect on absolutely every count

“24. EMMI: Metroid Dread

The EMMI may be sleek and suspiciously, tantalizingly flexible, but unless you’re a top engineer at Google who thinks your algorithm is in love with you, it’s going to take a lot of convincing for most people to get greasy with an AI.”

Despite its source this remains one of the best descriptions of HP to me. It’s a series rooted in the belief that nothing should ever fundamentally change or be made better (Image posted twice to fit the alt text in)

A post from 4chan. It has an image of Daniel Radcliffe holding a bottle with the caption “Hey guys, wanna buy some magic?”, and a long text post, with its text as follows:

“It very neatly describes the way liberals see the world and political struggle.

Lots of people complain about the anticlimactic ending, but really I don’t think it could be any other way. I’d like to imagine that there’s some alternate universe where Rowling actually believed in something and Harry was actually built up as the anti-Voldemort he was only hinted as being in the beginning of the books. Where he’s opposed to all the many injustices of the Wizarding World and determines to change their frequently backwards, insular, contradictory society for the better, and forms his own faction antithetical to the Death Eaters and when he finally has his showdown with Voldy, Harry surpasses by adopting new methods, breaking the rules and embracing change and the progression of history. While Voldemort clings to an idyllic imaging of the past and the greatest extent of his dreams is to become the self-appointed god of an eternally stagnant Neverland, Harry has embraced the possibility of a shining future and so can overcome the self-imposed limits Voldemort could never cross, and Voldemort is ultimately defeated by this.

But that would require a Harry that believed in something, and since Rowling is a liberal centrist Blairite that doesn’t really believe in anything, Harry can’t believe in anything. Harry lives in a world drought with conflict and injustice, a stratified class society, slavery of sentient magical creatures, the absurd charade the Wizarding World puts up to enforce their own self-segregation, a corrupt and bureaucracy-choked government, rampant racism, so on and so forth.

(The text is too long to fit in one image’s alt text, so it continues in the next image)

(Continuation of alt text from previous image)

But Harry is little more than a passive observer for most of it, only the racism really bothers him (and then, really only racism against half-bloods). In fact, when Hermione stands up against the slavery of elves, she’s treated as some kind of ridiculous Soapbox Sadie. For opposing chattel slavery. In the end, the biggest force for change is Voldemort while Harry and friends only ever fight for the preservation and reproduction of the status quo. The very height of Harry’s dreams is to join the Aurors, a sort of wizard FBI and the ultimate defenders of the wizarding status quo. Voldemort and the Death Eaters are the big instigators of change and Harry never quite gets to Voldy’s level. Harry doesn’t even beat Voldemort, Voldemort accidentally kills himself because he violated some obscure technicality that causes one of his spells to bounce back at him.

And this is really the struggle of liberals, they live in a world fraught with conflict, but aren’t particularly bothered by any of it except those that threaten multicultural pluralism. They see change, and the force behind that change, as a wholly negative phenomenon. Even then, they can only act within the legal and ideological framework of their society. So, for instance, instead of organizing insurrectionary and disruptive activity against Trump and the far-right, all they can do is bang their drum about what a racist bigot he is and hope they can catch him violating some technicality that will allow them to have him impeached or at least destroy his political clout. It won’t work, it will never work, but that’s the limit of liberalism just as it was the limit of Harry Potter.”

That seems like it would be more fun, yeah! It varies from person to person ofc. Personally I know not everyone is a fan but I like these fidget cube things bc they’re just the right size to fit in my pocket and not be annoying and they’ve got a variety of little thingies to keep my hands occupied
