propaganda in the guise of education (beverage mention)
@packbat yuck
gotta wonder how much of education is basically "okay we gotta get the kids used to taking orders from capitalists"

Wotan would like to remind you that he was cute before the kitten was even born
(who's Kara's "dad" then? I think she decided it was Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki)
woohoo, Kara's girlfriend got her an Eva-02 model kit, which she is now calling "her mom" because Kara's a weirdo
I also wish Kara hadn't shattered the glass over her phone's camera like a month after getting the phone
@melaninpony good luck :=)
still sore about ethics in tech class, IP bullshit
@diodelass jesus christ the world is full of people who make music and even science for nothing. (a lot of the latter are volunteer lab assistants haha) was this a real ethics prof or some schmuck with a computer science credential

thinking about how mad we still are about hearing an ethics prof say that if things like music or scientific papers were always free and not a reliable source of profit, then no one would ever bother to make them
the music part of that is bad enough
the science part of that displays an absolutely shocking ignorance about how scientific publishing works

neg | aggretsuko s2 spoilers
I really didn't like s2 of aggretsuko
so I go to the tag on tumblr to see if there's any new fanart
and it's EXACTLY the same shit as before, but now the fandom seems "split" between Retsuko staying with Tadano, or Tadano & Haida getting together and like...
y'all are incapable of learning aNYTHING from this show??? Let Retsuko be single, it's canon!!
(also why do the fandom take a show about WOMEN!!!!!!!! and INSTANTLY obsess over the only men characters??)

One final note – for writers
I've heard the complaint made before that utopian fiction is boring because there's no conflict and that's why dystopian fiction is more interesting. And sure, that's a fair criticism. But replace utopian with eutopian, and that's something altogether different.
To reference Black Panther again (the movie specifically), Wakanda is a good vision of a eutopia. It's a place with fabulous technology, where people live good lives. Their needs are met and, as far as we see, there aren't any systemic problems with poverty or hunger. But Wakanda is not perfect and still contains numerous deep flaws. Those flaws are explored in the story and are the source of every major conflict which happens. At the end of the story, the flaws are still there, but efforts are now being made to address them.
So it's possible to have interesting conflict in a world which isn't a dystopia. If you want to write solarpunk fiction, this kind of eutopia is a good source of inspiration.
family, illness (very negative)
@Shadejackrabbit aw shit, well...good luck :=|
@undyne oh, thank heaven, that sort of thing worries me. I'm a science nerd so I'm genuinely freaked by how society's hit the rewind button back to the 18th century. vaccines! they're the Devil's work!
I should maybe refrain from cursing like Chara does
