i feel like ikea turns me into a different person. i walk into the swedish furniture jail and suddenly i’m a 29 year old pinterest mom who owns 6546 minimalist storage bins and names her daughter parsley
i take one look at a showroom with like a perfectly styled FJÅLBJØRKBÖLLSTORP or whatever and suddenly i am this woman
A conservative dress with children of your own race. SO progressive!
…. do you need something, or?
Yes, I need to tell you that you have been manipulated by this site I used to spend my entire youth on. I used to be just like you but life made me mature and I realize now how brainwashed I was. This site is poison, and I sincerely and absolutely mean that. You were here since 2012? I was since 2009. Please, wake up, I beg you. Please stop being misled by all these labels and infighting and utopian ideals, it’s not worth it. Stop living life for cheap pleasure. Seeing innocent people be led to chaos like this makes me cry. It really does. i wish you the best.
what in the god damn hell are you talking about……. this was a post about ikea
“What? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?” local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness.
but is Ed really disabled? sure I get he lost his arm and leg
but he’s still able to move and do things perfectly
He has prosthetics. Having prosthetic limbs (that more than once break amd need repair) doesnt make him not disabled
It should also be noted that Ed:
-had to undergo very painful surgery to get automail
-had to relearn how to write because of his prosthesis (there’s a post going around showing he had to switch hands etc) and his handwriting is likely a lot worse due to that. This means automail isn’t super good for delicate work, unsurprising, considering what it’s made of.
-experiences phantom limb pain and therefore other associated stuff (this was only really shown in the manga)
-cannot go anywhere too cold without changing his automail or he’ll get really bad frost bite and it will stop working
-cannot go anywhere too hot, period, because the metal attached and under his skin will overheat and he will be badly burned
-Reattachment is painful, but needs to be done frequently if he breaks or outgrows his automail
- it’s HEAVY so much so that the strain has the potential to cause stress on his body, enough that it’s even theorized as possibly stunting his growth.
-it requires regular maintenance or it will break down, as shown when he forgets to do that and it…breaks down
-when it does need to be repaired, it takes time to do that, during which Ed uses regular prosthetics (that usually don’t quite fit him).
-costs a lot of money (not a problem for Ed due to high state alchemist salary/having mechanics as surrogate family, but explicitly noted to being the reason why most people in the fmaverse stick to regular prosthetics along with the painful surgery)
So Ed can’t actually do everything perfectly and experiences a lot of extra hassle, problems and pain people without automail don’t have to deal with! And any advantages he does have are more suited to fighting than day to day life (being able to incorporate weapons/fake out people who want to blow up his arm).
Arakawa did her research and thought it through. Automail is by no means a magic cure that solves all problems associated with losing a limb.
I meant to post this yesterday and completely forgot
Anywho, its august so everyone hail to the pumpkin king
Many people know that vaccines were linked to autism by a fraud and con artist who just wanted to sell his own alternative vaccines.
What a lot of people DON’T know is that he had no reason to choose autism for this scam except that it had JUST started entering mainstream consciousness and was still barely understood by most people. He took advantage of ignorance and confusion already surrounding a hype train and it could have been anything but it happened to be Autism at that particular time.
That’s how fucking meaningless the connection is.
Wakefield didn’t just claim it caused autism–he also claimed it caused an inflammatory bowel disease. That didn’t quite capture the public imagination the same way, though…
gonna remind everyone reading this that Wakefield lost his medical license for behaving “dishonestly and irresponsibly,” his papers were pulled as being 100% fraudulent, and he left the UK in utter disgrace before coming to the US to peddle his bullshit. He’s also known for such stellar moves as inviting children to his son’s birthday party then drawing their blood to use in his “study.”
Tying in with the previous poster’s addition, he’s also a lot of the reason people started associating autism with the gut in various quack pseudosciences that have tried to convince you to buy their special diet plan to “control” autism.
Unfortunately I know from tons of experience that American anti-vaxxers consider both “driven from the UK” and “kicked out of the medical community” to mean “COOL RELATABLE UNDERDOG DEFYING THE EVIL ESTABLISHMENT”

undertale is a real inspiration, like it was once a kickstarted indie project and now it has live orchestras and connections to huge names in the video game industry. it’s been years now and i STILL can’t listen to the ost without getting emotionally overwhelmed.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
