people are so fucking stupid like 😭 people saying “some 13 year olds GENUINELY like dressing up to look like adults and sexualizing themselves bc it makes them feel good about themselves!!1!” like.. have you ever considered why that makes them feel “good” in the first place?? why would a thirteen year old girl spend hours on makeup and tons of her parents money on clothes made for adults if she’s not being influenced to think that that’s what she needs to do to feel good about herself.. i just refuse to believe that any 13 year old girl (or any girl for that matter but that’s a different story) LIKES to sexualize herself without any outside influences. people don’t exist in a vacuum and some of you are GENUINELY stupid
“this animal can be wiped out completely with no consequences” yeah, they said that about wolves too
This is literally about mosquitoes.
Mosquitos move calories from big animals, back down the food chain, without killing the big animals. That’s important! Mosquito are prey in themselves but mosquito LARVAE are vital food sources for a ton of water animals.
How do you expect to transfer calories from, say, the deer in a forest to the fish in the river, without mosquito as the middle step? How do you expect to transfer calories from rats to bats, without mosquitoes?
Losing mosquitos would fundamentally shift how calories move through the food chain, because they’re a parasite that shifts between land, sea, and air. And that’s just a foundation, it doesn’t cover all the behaviors other animals have specifically to interact with mosquitos.
#i like to think data took him all the way to the brig tossed him in and left#and then came back 60 seconds later and was like ‘i believe i have successfully played a ‘practical joke’ on you :)’#riker loses it & claps him on the back like ‘wow. good job u rly had me going. dont ever fucking do that again’
Perfect.
Actually it’s 73 seconds. Data, knowing something of how human minds work, estimates that Riker will give him 60 seconds to come back (because humans prefer “round numbers”, however arbitrary the units). After 60 seconds it will take 4 seconds for Riker to fully process the conclusion that Data is, in fact, not coming back after all, and an additional 9 seconds to build to the optimum level of anxiety.
Yeah bruh it’s not the actual gap ffs people, it’s the age gap RELATIVE TO THE PEOPLE’S AGES
Let’s see some examples:
3 year gap between a 15 and 18 year old: BAD. ILLEGAL. FUCKED UP.
3 year gap between a 30 and 33 year old: they’re practically the same age
10 year gap between a 25 and 35 year old: hmm kinda weird, might let it slide, but no.
10 year gap between a 60 and 70 year old: yeah trust me you’re good.
9 year gap between a 20 and a 29 year old: let me put this into perspective, person A could be in their second year of college and person b graduated 7 years before. That’s weird and they’re at INFINITELY different stages in life.
9 year gap between a 46 year old and a 55 year old: they’re both middle aged, they’re both at the same stage in life, they’ve probably both have had some sense of stability for a while now and probably no wildly violent life changes like high school/college/first job/first partner have happened in a while. It’s FINE.
I’ve already seen discourse on Twitter about Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend bc apparently, 46 ISN’T age appropriate for a 55 year old man or something and I’m starting to think some people don’t understand the discussion about age gap relationships….it’s not about age gaps themselves, it’s about adults dating people who aren’t adults (usually teenagers). But also, 46 and 55 is age appropriate jfc
advice to all the kids following me: when you turn 18 people are gonna try and tell you to buy porn or cigarettes because you can, fuck that. you know what else it legal to buy at 18? blades. get yourself a damn sword. a big knife is also okay.
