The Metal Gear Franchise is so revered because it has an incredible talent of spending two hours ranting about war economy and the flaws in our political system and how it’ll lead to turmoil, and then just cutting to something rediculous like a “cyborg ninja” pirouetteing to destroy mooing robots, or a battle tank that sings like a vocaloid, or a man made of bees, and it somehow doesn’t skip a fucking beat.
Unlearned people usually think this is a jape, but literally, a boss within the last hour of gameplay of the 4th game is defeated SOLELY because the PS3 is a more powerful console than the PS1, and he’s so baffled by it, his ghost dies.
the unstoppable force vs. immovable object duality of having ADHD that is the inherent embarrassment of having interests and simultaneous urge to express every single thought you’ve ever had on whatever subject you’re currently hyperfixating on at once before it’s lost forever
me immediately after acquiring a new hyperfixation:
they dont give rhodey much screen time because he kills with words and his common sense would be a mary sue by itself. like he looked at quill for 3 seconds total and said out loud “so hes an idiot” i loved that
we will never get a war machine movie cause mcu bases most of the conflict on superheroes being utterly incompetent to form one valid fuckin thought for half a movie so rhodey’s would last like 20ish minutes including the end credits. but. i would still pay double to see it
Rhodey is incompatible with idiot plot
The avengers only have one braincell that they have to share but Rhodey has three all to himself
Europe is currently being burned alive and people still think climate change is a joke. It’s warmer in North Europe than in the middle eastern deserts.
Nearly all northern countries broke their decades old heat records this week.
Its only in the low hundreds in farenheit??? In America we get that for like a month or two straight every year??? Y'all need to deal is it really normally so cold over there that yall can live with a little heat???
It is normal in the south, but not in the north, where for example in Norway, usually in the summer, they have Spain’s winter temperatures
I assure you, it’s not normal even in the south. My friend, who lives in Trento (look it up, north-west of Venice), had nearly 43° C. That is absolutely not normal. I can only hope that we don’t touch the 54° C we had last year where I leave, near Milan. Let that sink: fucking 54 degrees Celsius. To my northern European friends - and whoever else is suffering from these extreme temperatures - I can only say: take care of your elderly and your kids, drink lots of water, stay in the shade as much as you can, use sunscreen and for the love of god, avoid going out between 11 and 2pm if you can!
How fucking thick do you have to be to think that “this climate that is extremely abnormal for you is normal for me - a person who lives in a completely different part of the world - therefore it is not a problem.” Yes, it is actually a problem if the climate changes, you fool.
(Rant directed a few reblogs up, obviously.)
Places that aren’t used to this sort of heat are typically ill equipped to handle that situation because it’s so unusual. Not to mention that temperature tolerance is going to differ depending on what a person is used to where they live in the world. Rather than saying “oh I deal with hot weather so you should too” which is ignorant of how others may be dealing with this, maybe instead give insight to ways one can deal with extreme heat if it’s something you personally know how to handle.
