seduce cleopatra
“oh but how will you seduce cleopatra?” you might ask because you’re a moron. it’s simple: i’m 6′2″ and i’m fat. fatness was considered attractive back then because if you were fat, that meant you were wealthy enough to get fat. plus, 6′2″ is unreasonably gigantically tall in the BC times.
so cleopatra will be like “a giant? AND he’s got stretch marks?” and she’ll instantly become infatuated with my rotund, hairy body
then i will live in royalty for the rest of my days. kickstarter backers will have their names written in my tomb, baffling archaeologists for centuries to come.
My favorite part of this is that OP didn’t feel the need to explain how he’d get Julius Caesar addicted to hentai.
The whole purpose of the Senate is supposed to be The ‘house of sober second thought’ not just used to rubber stamp anti-worker and likely unconstitutional legislation like back to work bills. At least some senators voted against this ugly bill, but for the majority to vote for it makes me sick.
Senators are not even elected in this country and they get the final say on major issues like this. It’s disgusting.
This is wrong.
All Postal workers want are fair wages (increased with inflation) and safe working conditions.
Heh. In the end, they don’t care about the workers. This is a pro-market, neo-liberal government. But you know, they could have, like, tried to force the goddamn company to negotiate in good faith with the union and settle with the workers, instead of sending the signal to corporations that they can get away with anything if consumers are mildly inconvenienced (BUT MUH LETTERS TO SANTUH!!!). Fuck labour rights, heh Justin?
It’s ok, we’ll remember this and all your other BS moves next year when comes time to cast our votes at the federal election.
No offence, but you can’t blame Trudeau or the government for this one. After dealing with trump, we’re lucky our economy isn’t in shambles, and Canada post remaining on strike for several months during the holiday season would be disastrous.
I don’t agree that people should be forced back to work, but they’ve had over a month with CP offering to the union and getting met with a brick wall and no whisper of allowing negotiations. At some point they should have at least tried to negotiate.
If we had the NDP in power, the economy would never have survived both trump and the CP strike.
Good grief. You can’t pin this on the workers, and it absolutely is Trudeau’s fault.
He used his majority government to supersede constitutionally held human rights (read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms sometime).
Canada Post has rejected all offers to pay Canada Post workers from different regions fairly (including the majority of women who are rural carriers and are underpaid). Canada Post refused to deal with the massive issues of injuries, particularly permanent disability of its workers. Canada Post refused to pay its workers above inflation, so the effect is going forward that CP workers are actually going to lose money, year over year. Canada Post refused to deal with the issue of forcing their workers to undergo overtime work, completely ruining work-life balance.
You are standing up for rich CEO’s and business interests when you should be standing up for workers rights.
No present or letter is worth more than protecting worker safety and ensuring that workers are paid fairly and can live their lives with dignity.
“If we had the NDP in power, the economy would never have survived both trump and the CP strike.“
Hi, the NDP runs B.C. and Alberta, the top two strongest economies in Canada.
Also let’s not forget that the Union has been requesting negotiations since January, at the very least. I am pretty sure it was actually earlier than that. And only when November came did CP start doing anything.
Why do people defend the rich??!?!? They’re literally stealing money from everyone and are ok with people dead unless it gives them bad press

And we shouldn’t even be surprised. Canada is in the end a colonialist country and the Senate is an establishment created and used by dictators for centuries. Ofc it wasn’t going to work.
i thought of kilua’s arrow shirt and looked back in the manga for what gon wore
cursed……like it looked less cursed in b/w but boi the colours they used in the 1999 anime
baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat
you know what i’m in just enough of a bad mood that i’m ready to nail my grievances to the church door so let’s fucking go
black and white morality wherein anyone who doesn’t believe/think/live exactly as I do is a dirty sinner Problematic and probably a predatory monster
everyone is a sinnerProblematic but true believerspeople who activist the right way according to my worldview are still better than everyone else, and I will act in accordance to this belief in my own superiority to let everyone else know I’m better than them because I found Jesusam the most woke
casual and fucking omnipresent equations of womanhood with softness/goodness/purity/nurturing to remind every woman who isn’t/doesn’t want to be any of those things that they’re doing it wrong
aggressive desexualization (particularly of women’s sexuality, to the point where it may as well not exist at all) accompanied by pastels [not a criticism directed ace ppl having a right to sex-free content and spaces but specifically targeted at a wider problem resulting from the previous point]
YOU’RE VALID AND JESUS LOVES YOU and neither of these platitudes achieves a goddamn thing
historical context is for people who care about nuance and we don’t have time for either (see: black and white morality)
lots of slogans and quotes and nice little soundbites to memorize but does anybody actually study the source material with a critical eye to make their own informed analysis
the answer is no
I’ve been to bible study groups don’t @ me I know what the fuck I’m talking about
Good Christians™ Nice Gays™
don’t fraternize with/let themselves be influenced by non-Christians those terrible queers
all the media one consumes must be ideologically pure or it will surely harm the children
it is Our Sacred Duty to protect the children from Everything, thus ensuring their innocence/purity/etc until such time as they are idk probably 25 years old
literally just “think of the children” moral panic y’all can fuckin miss me with that
people who don’t conform to the dominant thinking WILL be excommunicated/driven from the social group, and any wrong treatment they suffer will be seen as a justified consequence of their wrong thinking

Thank you for breaking it down like that because so many of us have been saying it but to see a play by play breakdown comparison is just…Thank you.
sipping tea and judging people as a group bonding activity
oh, man, speaking as a queer Christian who gets regular tumblr flashbacks to my childhood in the Bible Belt, YES
-belief that small snippets of text can be analyzed out context to understand the whole work/ judge the whole person -Desire for moral choices to be easy/ black-and-white leads to belief that it is possible to find a one-size-fits all answer to every situation -Literal, rather than literary analysis, with weird fixation on etymological roots that have nothing to do with source material -Belief that there is “one true interpretation” that is self-evident and will be understood by everyone encountering the same material regardless of background -Overwhelming, internalized sense of culpability for other people’s actions/integrity/souls -Overwhelming, internalized sense of personal guilt -Pressure to evangelize aggressively -Tendency to value broad ideals before individual needs -Hostility towards coexistence/tolerance/neutrality -Hostility towards lack of consensus in viewpoint -Knowledge as contamination -Guilt/contamination by proximity -Fixation on the sexual as uniquely dirty/sinful -Belief in “thought crimes” -Argumentation via appeal to higher authority/feelings of revulsion rather than internal, verbalizeable logic -“conversations” that are actually stealth soapboxes because one side isn’t actually interested in listening -“polite requests” that are actually commands because “no” is not considered an acceptable answer -in-group language -virtue-signaling and hostility towards the outgroup -gatekeeping -communities strongly built around the idea of being the world’s underdog -appropriation of other people’s persecution/victimization -treating the concept of oppression like a trophy -glorification/fetishization of victimhood
It got better.
Bringing this back.
Always glad to see this on my dash.
YESSSS THANK YOU
The fact that so many users on this website prides itself in hating abuse and society’s rules yet will stan people/characters who are legitimate abusers/enablers with no framing for redemption simply bc they fit conventional standards in society (e.g Tywin Lannister) while hating on marginalized characters no matter how well written and they are (Tyrion) is mind boggling
The other day a white customer was mimicking the way a black co-worker talked over the phone to another co-worker, and when he asked her to stop she said “oh I bet your black too” and he’s like nah I’m white, you’re just being awful and I’m hanging up
It’s that easy
When people think empathy w/o personal association or investment is strange, it’s because they have none.
Dumbledore, notorious for giving second chances Dumbledore, let Sirius rot in Azkaban for twelve years.
He must have known Sirius well due to his time in the Order, he must have known what James meant to Sirius. Dumbledore was a member of the freaking Wizengamot yet he didn’t fight the Ministry’s horrifying trial-optional policy.
This is a man who took back Death Eater!Snape at his word, shielded him from prison, and employed him at a school for children.
But he didn’t have a use for Sirius, so he didn’t care about him.
I got 99 problems with Dumbledore and his treatment of Sirius Black accounts for like 64 of them.
To be honest, Albus Dumbledore is one of the most disturbing, terrifying characters I’ve ever found in a book, because he thought he was a good guy and so did everyone else and the books don’t really challenge it either (given that Harry forgives him for everything he did), but when you look between the lines he was profoundly, profoundly immoral and unethical.
A couple of months ago, I was talking about HP characters with a friend, and he said that Dumbledore was one of his least favorite characters of all time.
Naturally, this took me back a bit since he’s one of the heroes of the series, misguided as he was at times. Still, I was curious and asked my friend why he hated him. His answer still strikes a chord with me.
“There is never, ever a reason to leave a child in an abusive home. Never.”
Albus Dumbledore always frightened me because he is the result of an abuser being told his reasons were justified for decades on end. Essentially, he think he is right and that his ends justify his means, even if nobody is keeping an eye on him. And everyone around him reinforces that by accepting his decisions without asking for explanations. He casts himself as the wise protector, manipulating things from behind the scenes for the benefit of all, and the people around him accept that role, and defer to him.
He is willing to manipulate and traumatise a child because he thinks it will help him achieve his goals. Which in isolation, makes him pretty clearly sound like the villain; thinking that his end goal means he is allowed to hurt people around him. In practice, if he were real he would be both an abuser and someone who enabled abuse. He didn’t just leave a child in an abusive home; he was the entire reason Harry was placed into an abusive environment in the first place, and went out of his way to keep him there.
The fact that the narrative never judges him for it (not really and not fairly) is a result of two things, in my opinion. Harry is an unreliable narrator with very few models of healthy mentor/parental relationships, and so he forgives Dumbledore because he is presented as the benevolent saviour and Harry believes it. It’s also due to the fact that, despite writing a story about an abuse survivor hero, JK Rowling has a poor understanding of abuse, and Dumbledore’s behaviour isn’t traditional abuse, so I doubt she sees it that way.
Personally, I’ve always felt that Dumbledore is an important cautonary tale about how adults in positions of authority become abusers. He saw himself a certain way, and maintained that image ruthlessly. He wasn’t all that interested in actually saving the wizarding world, but rather in being seen to be the one making saving the wizarding world possible. Everything that furthered that goal was acceptable to him, and collateral damage was irrelevant.
He didn’t give second chances, he played the part of someone offering them to generate a useful debt.
I think what makes Dumbledore horrible in a way that Voldemort wasnt was that he was able to love
We see how Voldemort does a lot of stuff out of spite and anger and hate, it results in people being afraid of him and betraying him in the end- which ultimately led to his fate worse than death.
Dumbledore on the other hand, knew how love felt and all the baggage that society tied with it. His love for knowledge and wizardry which made his loathing of being stuck with his siblings worse. His love for Grindelwald which made him doubt so much and reaffirm his ideals after the battle. His love for Arianna which hung heavier than any cloak for the rest of his life.
He knew how unjust society can be and thats what made him so convincing to the Order, he didnt just say stuff nor use magic to put rose tinted glasses over their eyes, he showed his feelings. He did it in such a way that they (plus the rest of the wizarding world) could see him as this demigod- one half power and knowledge and prestige and the other curious, kind, and eccentric.
The Order became so loyal to Dumbledore bc they saw that and something deeper, the sliver of grief when someone died, stony anger at obvious injustice, patience and maturity during his slander.
Yeah no wonder only 1 person betrayed him (Mundungus isnt really part of it tbh, man was just a tool in their eyes).
And that person, Peter, shows all the worst parts of Albus. A victim of his incompetence as a headmaster, who enabled bullying and traditions that hurt so soo many people despite his power and longevity (you cant tell me he couldn’t atleast slowly roll back on the House rules at the very least, he had so much power). Fudge may have been on to something, though we will never get a good answer on that due to JKRs less than stellar writing.
If you want to know someone, a good way is to know who their enemies are.
