Mechanic!Jason setting the amount of money and then telling Batman where to donate them is absolutely something he would do. Like they don’t do this song and dance every time <3

Every. single. time.

Jason clocked how expensive the custom tires were day one and decided he was getting as much money out of this guy as he could only to panic the very first time, when Batman just said yes to 30k without even blinking let alone haggling.

Jason lives in terror of this stupid man’s stupid generosity. Look at him with his stupid pointy ears and fucked suspension. He thinks a tire change costs 10k.

(Bruce looks forward to the monthly donation. Last time Jason demanded he buy and forgive 75k worth of medical debt. The time before that it was the local woman’s shelter. He tried to give Jason money exactly once and nearly got his head bitten off for his troubles.)

i just discovered anti-natalism (on reddit oi) and found the name for my philosophical beliefs! this is kinda cool! i didn't know there was a name for this stuff.

i see anti-natalism as a positive thing. i agree with david benatar's asymmetry argument. if a person does not exist, they don't know pain or pleasure. i see that as better than a person existing and enduring pain (because there is no pleasure without pain).

my other main argument for anti-natalism is the fact that people don't consent to being born. i just can't see any justification in anyone birthing another human for the mere fact that that human did not consent to life.

i understand this belief system upsets some people, but idk i can't change how i feel. i have a right to my opinions. plus, i'm not saying other people need to understand or follow what i believe. obviously, plenty of people birth children. i just don't believe in doing that.

seeing others have thought about this idea makes me feel validated!

i feel very alone in loving children but not believing in creating them. i work as a naturalist for elementary school kids and a tutor for middle and high school students. my life revolves around youth. i want to make sure i can help children in any way i can since i know living life can be difficult. i want to help people avoid as much pain as possible. so, i believe the kindest way to do that is preventing people from being born in the first place.

very happy Matt decided to clarify his stance on the genocide of the Palestinian people rn. Pretty unhappy with the way he worded it, who he centered in his video, and disappointed to see the responses to it on Twitter.

kinda scared to even post about it bc CR fans can get so defensive about their favorite white people that they can often leave little room for criticism or nuance. but man I have thoughts.

#lemme just say. if you have a public platform that has set a precedent for philanthropic work. messages of positivity and love. #and have called attention to various political and social conflicts *in stream*. & whose employees and cast members are vocal #on socials about political topics #then it is NOT unreasonable for fans to expect them to address one of the deadliest orchestrated conflicts in recent history #a literal genocide is happening. thanks in part to the US. #it is good that they donated as a company and as individuals. so good! #but to everyone saying that publicizing good deeds like donations is virtue signaling or demanding CR cast to show their support is #or that activism shouldnt be all about what you post bc then it becomes performative #are kinda missing the point. and theyre not listening to palestinians at all #a huge issue with this conflict & the way its being received in the western world - ESPECIALLY the US bc of its partnership w israel - #is the sheer amount of disgusting minsinformation and propaganda convincing ppl this genocide is either not that bad or that its necessary #everyday citizens CANNOT change foreign policy. we cant do anything! #so what have Palestinians been asking us to do?? SPREAD AWARENESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. MAKE PEOPLE AWARE. UPLIFT PALESTINIAN VOICES. SHARE LINKS #SHOW PPL THE TRUTH. #and yes its hard! its difficult to watch what theyre going thru. but we HAVE to. #i didnt rlly like matts statement. he said he didnt have the spoons to engage in the discourse. which i get. god i get it. #but ive also seen many many creators/influencers who are also disabled or whose families are directly involved gather their spoons to help #and no one was asking CR to harm themselves in the name of helping palestine. we only wanted them to spread awareness #bc the comments on their tweet about finally donating were full of mostly white centrist takes not able to see any benefit to donating or #addressing the issue at all. which is EXACTLY why CR should addresss it. bc they can reach so many who dont understand #but theyd been radio silent for almost 5 months. i didnt like that he didnt really apologize. i didnt like that he centered himself #i didnt like his lowkey flippant language either. saying all that.. ridiculousness in regards to a genocide not well worded. #but i dont feel right holding that against him. should he have thought it through better? sure but i get it #& unfortunately his parting message left a bad taste in my mouth - one of positivity & self care & hugging each other #nice important words but it didnt feel like he was talking about ppl who are affected by this conflict. but rather ppl who are watching #it just felt like a very white thing to say in response to this. we are not burdened and easily victimized bc of it #we are responsible. and so we must center palestinians. #if i were him i wldnt have gone in detail about how hard the palestinian genocide is for me to watch. #but thats just me #*CORRECTION: radio silent for almost 4 months

really feeling my sanity crumbling as I have to spend more energy than I have all to serve these fucking rich people at fucking galas and fundraisers and hearing them bid over 5000 dollars for the stupidest shit and thinking of how many people that would help nd how everyone I know is struggling to survive and I just can't take it anymore.

why the fuck am I busting my ass so these fucking pieces of shit can raise over 250k for a private catholic school where the tuition is already 40,000 dollars a year. why did I work a 12 hour shift all in the name of fundraising for the fucking opera. why can't these people just quietly write a check instead of getting a huge party with ~prizes~ and ~experiences~ to bid on. and tableside wine service and a 3 course meal and and and.

why don't these fucking husks care about the scores of human lives they could save without breaking a sweat.

why why why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#im losing it fr #oh wow you just donated 75000 dollars to this already wealthy catholic school so you get a standing ovation! wow youre sooooo philanthropic #and having to take rich people attitude with a smile on my face when really i want to spit at them #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #if i have to see another custom tailored glittering gown that costs more than my rent im going to dump wine all over it

Just saw the video and commentary you posted around the poverty cosplaying and I just want to add that there used to be a different place in Arkansas that did a similar thing, sorta. It was through a charity organization that shifted focus so they no longer run the program, but they used to have a "global village" where people would get assigned different regions of the world to live in by lottery with a couple key differences. First, they used actual names of actual countries and provided actual information about the country/culture. Secondly, it wasn't for mission training but instead was meant to be an educational tool to help middle school and high school students to consider how existing in different global and socio-economic circumstances change your decision making etc. and in depth discussion and educational activities were facilitated frequently. I went there as part of an overnight high school trip and while in retrospect the "poverty cosplaying" does give me the ick I still feel like that particular program was informative. Mostly I'm shook that two distinct programs like this exist in AR? I've literally never heard of the Harding one from the video until now and went on a Google deep dive to see if they were connected in some way, but not that I can tell. Anyway, no deep thoughts really, just thought it was super interesting/weird.

There is something in the water over there in Arkansas man lol. I can never learn just some normal fact about AR, it's always something weird.

I totally understand wanting to create more empathy for those who live in poverty, especially in teenagers who are in a really formative years of their lives. And it's one thing to replicate conditions in your immediate area which you are intimately familiar with, but I just can't get on board with play-acting poverty in different areas of the world. I just think about how I'd feel if some religious group in another country tried to replicate my life experience for shock value.

Even replicating the conditions semi-well can't replicate the actual stakes faced by the people they're cosplaying. You can't replicate the stress of a single mother working 2 jobs and supporting 3 kids in a one-room house, you can't replicate the stress of food insecurity and legitimately being worried about when your next meal will be, etc etc. And something about pretending to do them when you can just go back to normal life at any time just feels disrespectful in a way I can't really articulate.

Idk if people get something from it that's great and I do get the thinking behind the one you described at least, I'm mostly still ranting about the first camp lol. I don't have any doubt that some of the people running the camp you went to had good intentions (the other one though I'm really not sure based on the town names) I just have a lot of mixed experience in Christian missionary culture where poverty is treated voyeuristically which is just definitely the vibe I got from the first camp.

#idk my dad grew up really really poor and i live in an area with a lot of poverty and so maybe i'm just overly touchy about it #but so much of the “philanthropic” culture i experienced in Christianity was making an other out of poor people #it's hard for me to really articulate well i feel but it was just this disconnect like we are different. we are the saviors. #we're on a different level. when in reality i mean everyone is an arm's length away from being in a bad situation in the right circumstance #i think the fact that a lot of the missionary work we did too was just classic surface level stuff like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound #kind of stuff that never addresses the root issues of poverty left a bad taste in my mouth for the community too #my church in particular has had this fundraising event every year for 80 years for the same area in africa building infrastructure and its #like....it's been damn near a century. how has this goal not been accomplished yet like where is this money going too?? #why have the missionaries in question seemed to make so little progress #idk ok im done lol i havent ranted in the tags in so long

Surprise!! Reading Between the Lines Podcast is back!!

Kinda . . .

As some of you may know, I’ve been SUPER sick with bronchitis since October and it’s made recording the next story, a 21k word Soulmate AU, The Truth About Eros by @aisalynn , damn near impossible. However, I WAS able to speak at a Philanthropic Educational Organization meeting about the legitimacy of fan fiction. I’m not an expert. My opinions are just that . . . Opinions. But I think it’s a worthy discussion to have. So much of literature and other forms of media are considered transformative work.

Nerd. Idiot. Loser. I am kissing him with my mind.

But fr tho? Even though he's a major capitalist I definitely feel like he'd be a cryptobros (derogatory) least favorite guy, in the best way possible. I know little to nothing about borderlands but I trust your Rhys.

from this meme.

this is the FUNNIEST description i have ever read for my rhys but you're not wrong! you're not wrong!!! i think as a cyborg who downloads and uploads information to the ECHOnet on a daily basis, the idea of NFTs being presented to him as an investment will just make him cackle

and then they'll explain digital scarcity to him and he'll cackle harder

"DIGITAL SCARCITY? DIGITAL SCARCITY????? i've seen real scarcity and JPEGs are NOT IT"

#anonymous #ooc. #save. #[ but in all seriousness #thank you anon ;;;;; #i'm glad that he's still got that spirit of capitalism about him!!!! #but also feels like a guy you can trust :D #considering the world of the borderlands morals can't even really be judged the way they are irl anyway #and i will die on the hill that rhys skews towards the ''good'' scale way more than the ''bad'' by bl3/ntftbl #even if he would do bad things here and there >_> ] #[ he's not nearly as ''screwed up'' in his arc as fandom depicts tbh #mans still the most philanthropic capitalist in a megacapitalist galaxy lmaooooo ]

[the-irrelevant-trumpeter]

okay i’ve only got one more crease with the cornley timeline jump that i need to figure out!

so at the start of the filmed version of ppgw (2016), it implies that they’re all still attending the polytechnic, as it says “they all do a variety of courses during the day, but come together at night to create theatre”.

but since they were all in the polytechnic in 2012 (tptgw), and we know some of them have been there longer than that (eg. robert and annie have been in the cpds for 3 years by haversham manor), this means that all of them have been studying at the polytechnic for 4-8 years. given that most courses only last between 3-4 years, the idea of some of them still being there seems super unbelievable?

i suppose you could justify it like trevor, who just keeps on failing his final year of his course, but it feels hard to believe that all/most of them just kept on failing for so long (no matter how stupid they can be at times). or i suppose it’s also possible that they return to get a second degree or something, but that’s pretty expensive and i don’t think that many of them are super rich (just max, possibly chris?), so i’m not sure how likely that is.

so why are they still with the polytechnic? and even in accgw, they’re still referred to as the cornley polytechnic drama society, so at least some of them must still be there in 2017.

what do we think, are they all just completely hopeless or is there some other explanation for this?

#a couple of them i have explanations for #robert is fine because he works at the polytechnic as a caretaker #so he has justification #annie i do believe returned to complete another course #because after she finishes haversham manor she was meant to have an internship at some theatre #which implies to me that she just finished her course (maybe something to do with theatre?) #and then she comes back to study cognitive behavioral therapy and pottery (like said in the ppgw bio) #so if that was 2014 (where i’m placing original peter pan) she’s covered #since chris is credited for his philanthropic contributions #i’m guessing that he finished his course and just hung around #special privileges as an asset to the polytechnic or something along those lines #but apart from that? i really don’t know #would love input

Harry and Money

What do you mean "if" you silver spoon film director black card user with separate personal assistant and shopper

Rare sighting of Harry caring about social issues! It's interesting that he's going against the stereotype of rich dude in media. He doesn't bask in riches (he doesn't even own a dining table.....) and has a "whatever" attitude towards money. If he ever lost his wealth, he'd probably encounter some inconveniences like not being able to buy a house on a whim (lol) but he'd manage. He's the perfect ambassador for minimalism.

#this is another thing that differentiates him from jumin #i think jumin does see money as power to protect himself and his loved ones and for philanthropic reasons #the ssum #harry choi #the ssum harry #harry choi meta #meta #xela talks

So I know that 2022 isn't actually canonically when classic Doom takes place, it was printed in one of the port manuals without ever being confirmed by any of the original team, but I think it is infinitely funnier if that is when it takes place, because that would mean Hayden was alive through the events of classic Doom, and he still decided to everything he did. My man you saw the consequences and you still made the decisions you did. This is very much your own fault.

#doom #pikspeak #bc 2016 takes place in 2149 iirc and one of the codexes says sam is 'over 130 years old' #so at the very youngest he couldve been 3 in 2022 #but the codex says *over* 130 so he couldve been even older #of course i suppose it depends on your headcanon of when/how samur became samuel #was hayden a person before samur came along? did samur become an infant human child and grow up? #did he just craft a fake identity when he needed it and go 'yeah ok 2019 or earlier as a birth date sounds about right' #one of the codexes in 2016 establishes that he definitely has a history #born to a rich family; graduated from oxford; started a 'philanthropic orginization'.... #all things that can be verified. #so fully adult human samuel hayden didnt just pop into existence one day #there definitely *was* a hayden but where samur's influence comes in is up for debate #regardless i think its hilarious that hayden couldve been alive for classic doom #and he still went 'hmm yes i will open more portals to hell. this is a fantastic idea. nothing will go wrong. i am very smart. :)' #sam u idiot i want to punt you into the sun #unrelated sidenote anyone know why you cant italicise single words in textposts on moble #if u try it just italicises the entire post. dangit tumblr let me put emphasis on words.
