Imagine how many people’s lives they ruined. There were probably so many women that went in there knowing they destroyed that test. Yet, when they got their results back…they had to be so confused and disappointed. Mentally and emotionally, that had to be quite the blow. Anyway, this is evil.
This is so evil lmfaoooooo like the world really hates women and we can’t even do anything about it. How depressing.
Not just the lives of the women though. Think of the people their medical advancement, learning, studying, could have gone on to save. Think of the lives they could have helped.
think of the under-qualified men who got these positions instead and went on to kill people. the whole reason this was even discovered is this university was accused of doctoring grades to let the son of politically connected man enroll when he was not qualified. literally sabotaging communities.
on earth c instead of the mcelroys they have the strilondes as weirdly influential and relatable internet personalities. clint is dirk, justin is rose, travis is dave, and griffin is roxy. everything else is exactly the same
rose and roxy cofounded the gaming website polyhedron and made weird shows like monster factory for it
rose roxy and dave hose a podcast called my mother, my mother, and me
all 4 of them host the adventure zone wherein dirk is somehow the least competent of the bunch
rose and kanaya host sawbones
dave and karkat host shmanners
roxy and calliope host wonderful
dirk has hosted a bunch of weird radio shows that nobody listened to, all broadcasted with equipment he built himself
its perfect
i like how you say “dirk is somehow the least competent of the bunch” like thats not how it is in canon
the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore
who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”
at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
*stands majestically in a bucket*
ok but notice the trail of buckets behind him meaning he walked from the ocean through three other buckets of water before he got into the one hes standing in
It’s even funnier when you consider how he must have figured all this out in the first place.
Some folks are asking “well, if he can avoid the no-dry-land curse simply by standing in a bucket, doesn’t that ruin his whole motivation?”, but he’s not on dry land here.
The parley takes place on a sandbar - which, for the unfamiliar, is a temporary “island” of sand deposited by breaking waves, unconnected with the shore, that spends most of its time submerged, being exposed only at low tide.
What Jones is doing here is rules-lawyering his curse. Can you imagine the trial and error he must have gone through in order to determine that this would actually work?
“Okay, do islands count as dry land? How about parts of the shore below the high tide mark? Reefs? Shoals? What if I stand in a pool of water on a shoal? Does it have to be seawater, or will any water do? Does it have to be a natural tidepool, or can it be something artificial, like a bucket?”
What I am saying is that there must have been a process.
Pretty sure that this implies that the reverse - a bucket of sand, floating on the water (big bucket with just a bit of sand), would qualify as dry land. That’s absurd, so I’m pretty sure that his lawyer pulled a fast one over the curse governor.
It may be absurd, but the text of the film bears it out. Davy Jones can sense the presence of his heart while it’s at sea, but not while it’s on land (indeed, that’s why he buried it on land in the first place: to break his connection with it) - yet placing the heart in a simple jar of dirt conceals it from Jones’ awareness just as surely as burial on land does, even if the jar is on a boat at the time. Suitably prepared vessels filled with dirt absolutely count as dry land for the purpose of Jones’ curse.
Then the reverse should also be true. If he buried it in a jar of water, no matter how far inland it is, he would be able to sense it. So by this logic, any container of seawater counts as not dry land, ergo, the bucket is a perfectly viable loophole.
Not necessarily. It’s traditionally a lot easier to accidentally get whammied by a curse than it is to weasel around it - I figure that’s why he’s using multiple layers of indirection here. He’s forbidden to set foot on dry land, but it’s technically not dry land (it’s a sandbar, a non-permanent landform exposed only at low tide) and he technically didn’t set foot on it (he’s standing in a bucket of water). It’s entirely possible that either one of those things alone wouldn’t make the grade.
okay but this all raises one further, very important question: if it’s specifically “dry land” he’s forbidden from, what about wetlands.
can Davy Jones fight you in salt marshes? can he throw down in a peat bog?Swamp Battle?
This is the quality content I come to Tumblr for.
could he step on land if his shoes are wet?
No matter how ridiculous PotC gets I will love it. Especially when it results in conversations like this
What if he crawls around on his hands and knees, with his feet raised slightly into the air? Can he walk on his hands? Can he ride around in a litter or a wheelchair?
can he be in a wheelbarrow?
What if he flies over dry land? Like in a hot air balloon, or in the claws of a giant bird?
What if he’s carried by two swallows using a strand of creeper?
Making fun of i-am-fish posts for being lighthearted and harmless is embaressing and dookie-brained culture. Youre not funny for mocking people making innocent content.
the fish blog knowingly has pedo apologists and shit ton of racists in their server because their mods cant mod for shit i think its fair to say we’re allowed to take shots at the unfunny cishet bootlicker blog thats stuck in 2010 thanks
lets not forget the fact that she seems to be white and is certainly non-black and is constantly butchering aave and mae for goof points– literally making fun of the way poc talk isn’t innocent content. it would be one thing if she was just saying stuff like “uwu” or “pupper”, but shes not. she’s a racist, unfunny pedo apologist who would rather throw lgbt people under the bus than risk making her straight following uncomfortable
didn’t have to scroll that far honestly
im confused now h
lol it’s called a smear campaign
this is what happened to thomas sanders too just bc they found out he supported aces
also, about the one thing they actually did fuck up and not a server raid being taken out of context?
they literally acknowledged they fucked that up and they are literally trying to be a good person and not blindly defend themself
