sometimes i think about how in 2012, when andrew garfield was asked which avenger peter would like most he said ‘idk but he’d hate tony stark, too arrogant, ethics are dubious, and peter’s a man of the people, peter’s the working class hero’

and how andrew got dropped from the franchise bc he refused to shut up and ‘bow down to homophobia’, and said multiple times that peter should be bi

and how in response to those things, marvel changed the contracts so all future incarnations of peter parker had to be caucasian and heterosexual. and then they made mcu spidey very much reliant on tony stark

which is a long winded way of saying that andrew garfield was the realest peter we ever had, and how angry it makes me the way that marvel absolutely shat on him and went out of their way to go against what he tried to fight for… and that there is a huge smugness in me that despite all of that, marvel couldn’t quash people’s love for andrew and they needed him and tobey for NWH, and that in the run up to mcu spidey 3, what i see trending every day on twitter is WHERE IS ANDREW GARFIELD and yk what it’s what he fucking deserves

and then they proceeded to be the worst at their jobs for the next 20 years

No no, you don’t get it. Jesse and James are the absolute best there is at their jobs, but they have no idea what their jobs are.

They think that they’re thieves, agents of an elite criminal group led by Giovanni, stealing rare pokemon and advanced technology and such. And there might have been a time this actually was their jobs. In the first season or two, they frequently get angry phone calls about how they’ve fucked everything up, or get their expense account cut off because they have literally never turned a profit on their criminal enterprises and constantly procure and then lose/destroy expensive and elaborate devices.

But then the world came within a hair’s breadth of being destroyed, several times, and Jesse, James, and their weird cat rescued everybody. As terrible as they’ve always been at criminal endeavors of any kind, when the apocalypse approaches and they’re forced to step up, they’re really fucking good at saving the day.

And Giovanni is over here like… if the planet is destroyed, or time/space becomes unrecognizable, or civilization collapses, there’s no way for me to run a profitable criminal enterprise anymore. I need this planet, because it’s where I keep all my stuff. And I don’t pretend to understand the why of it, but these couple of bumbling nutcases that I should have fired years ago seem to be an important component of that? Somehow? So you gotta stop thinking about them in terms of acquisitions and start considering them… loss prevention. As in, even if you waste a million dollars a month on giant cat-faced robots and a vast array of fancy ball gowns and they never turn a profit, they are preventing all of your assets from going away at the same time because of something you can’t do anything about.

And that’s the great secret behind Team Rocket. These guys aren’t thieves, they’re professional superheroes (sponsored by organized crime). Of course, nobody ever bothered to tell them that.

“To protect the world from devastation…”

Plus, as is frequently pointed out: Jesse and James are good at every other job EXCEPT Team Rocket. They’re actually smart businesspeople and run successful food and merchandise stands and are great salespeople.

Hell, even in Team Rocket situations where they’re not chasing after Pikachu they’ve done better.

It’s just their Achilles Heel is one damn OP rodent.

this site definitely doesn’t allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.

wow! These are stunning! I love how they captured the majesty and power! And the special effects look amazing too!

Omggg the new additions are amazing

GORGEOUS!

But who the fuck is Hefesto? Google is giving me nothing. I thought maybe it was a mistake and they meant Hestia, but then they have Hestia again later on.

Edit: I’m think the one they labeled “hefesto” is meant to by Dionysus. That makes sense ot me with teh wine/ambrosia cup. I have no idea where ‘hefesto’ came from as that appears to be a workout routine.

Hephaestus probably

As a Brit, I’d like to remind the world that we invented curry, it’s our unofficial national dish. We eat it more than anything else and you can go into any of our fish and chip shops and get curry all over your deep fat fried foods. That whole white people thing is just the USA. I think we exported all the people with no taste which might explain a lot.

As an Indian I can assure you that we’ve been eating curry since 2000 BCE so go take your colonialism elsewhere.

Did this guy seriously try to claim curry is a British food?

“We invented curry” motherfucker what

mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there

whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”

“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”

Some myths I’ll always remember:

* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)

* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?

* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?

I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they “failed.” Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn’t matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON’T CHASE YOU.

And each time, they reacted with just… pure glee. “Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!”

And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information.

homunculus-argument:

I keep thinking about that story I read online about some dude who moved to a bigger city for university, once remarked to his peers in the student housing that “it smells like a storm coming”, and they were like bruh what the hell, and had a full-blown argument about whether you can smell a storm coming or not.

And then the next morning someone sarcastically asks him what today’s weather will be, he decides to fuck with them and frankly answer the question, and then it becomes something of a routine, that he’ll open a window or step outside to smell the air and tell them what he thinks it’ll be like today.

And he’s so reliable that they actually start to count on his predictions when they choose what to wear for the day, more than one of them actually tell their friends about “that dude in the dorms that can smell the fucking weather”, not exactly a celebrity but it’s just The Thing He Is Known For.

While really after the first incident he just started checking the day’s weather forecast online before getting up.
