the name's alexiel, mate! • they/them • neurodivergent • i consider it a true tragedy and failure that we, as a human race, don't give piranhas the appreciation they deserve • don't be afraid to talk to me if you so desire, but please act like we are already friends. be chaotic. ask me about my dogs or the end of the world. i can get behind that.
If you successfully cheat on a monitored test then you have passed a test of one skill by using an entirely different skill and I love the sheer stupid creative genius of it because that’s a little like being quizzed on Nuclear Chemistry and only passing because you learned how to read minds
Is… is this a naruto reference
I haven’t seen Naruto but I would LOVE to know what you mean
“I just spent the last 24 hours in Tempe and Phoenix police custody for spraying 'Penis Man,’” Shomer wrote. “They raided my condo and vehicle and swarmed my entire complex in west Phoenix with 25 heavily armed SWAT officers, and pointed a silenced assault rifle in my face.
"Anyone with any doubt who the bad guys are here … be certain it is the City of Tempe, City of Phoenix, and police forces valleywide. There is no excuse for pointing an AR-15 in the face of a non-violent offender.”
Shomer added in further posts that he spent a night at Maricopa County’s Fourth Avenue Jail following more than five hours in Tempe police custody, during which time he was giving “nothing to eat.”
He wrote that he was “told I wouldn’t receive medical attention after requesting it, even though it was posted on the wall to ask if desired. I was having a panic attack, cause they put a fucking assault rifle in my face (that’s illegal, both denying medical attn, and excessive force).”
Shomer also wrote in his post-arrest screed, “For the record, I hate the institution of the police. But, I do not think every single cop is a bastard. To say they all are, is imo, stooping to their level of profiling. Some of the detectives I met seemed to be genuine penis man fans.”
“Penis Man is neither man nor woman, you nor me,” Shomer wrote in one post. “We are ALL Penis Man.”
wait does anyone else know about the “people that are probably stand users” facebook
these are literally real
I tried to guess what the actual fuck “stand” is but every one of these photos both deepened my confusion and further deterred me from looking it up. Y'all just be you I guess
C-3PO makes me laugh because you have to remember he was assembled by a child out of things from a scrap heap. Everything about him makes sense if you bear that in mind. Anakin wanted a droid who could help his mother, but the only AI package he could find was one somebody threw out for being too fussy. The combination of tweaking to give him a worried/caring personality makes him constantly anxious. A protocol droid comes with a fair amount of language packages, but why stop there? Somebody threw out like, three different galactic language dictionaries because they weren’t the recent edition. Just load ‘em all up. all of them, even the packs that contain things like ewok and a thousand variants of different manufacturers’ droid codecs. don’t add half the other requirements most legal protocol droids have included at the factory like emergency wipe protocols or shutdown failsafes, or programmed obsolescence. Build that sucker out of non-commercial materials that are already over a hundred years old and still good, tweak it to withstand tatooine of all places.
so now you have this droid that is over thirty years old and it could never be obsolete because it was never manufactured by anybody but a kid on a sand ball somewhere, it’s never running down because it was built to last on tatooine and there’s nothing programmed in to try and urge you to buy the latest model because there is no latest model. 3P0 is simultaneously totally useless yet hyper functional because he was not made according to any specs except “the best most toughest things possible to help my mom for a long long time on a hot desert planet”

I like walking into a fandom where there are about eighteen different opinions on every major point and i can just go, “I haven’t consumed the canon, I’m not qualified to have an opinion, I’m just gonna read all your fic.”
it’s like turning up at a party and you don’t know anyone, you just raid the buffet for an hour and listen to old family arguments getting rehashed.
eventually you throw in on the side of the person who brought the amazing potato salad.
