I’m still thinking about that “is OSHA regulations Cop Behavior” post. Like. You know who thinks regulations are for losers? People who build submersibles out of logitech gamepads and rejected carbon fibre. People who trust starlink as their only surface lifeline.

Do you wanna be like the fine film on the floor of the Atlantic that was once a billionaire? Is that the hill you’re really gonna die on?

We have an expression in my field- “Regulations Are Written In Blood”

People don’t have fucking safety standards as a power trip, we have them because somewhere in the past, NOT having those regulations killed or maimed someone.

A lot of laws out there are bullshit- safety regulations sure as fuck aren’t. I have the literal scars to prove it.

Please please please remember that bosses and CEOs hate safety regulations.

Doing things safely cuts into their profits and lets workers survive long enough to learn.

If you’re ever irritated at how long it takes to be safe?

Remember your bosses hate it twice as much!

Then be even safer.

Safety regulations are there because businesses see workers as expendable.

never in all of my years would i have expected to characterize a company’s rebrand as “actively hostile” and “potentially endangering lives” yet here we are

for context, that X sign is dangerously bright, directly faces an entire apartment complex, and to top it all off it fucking strobes

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

Equally good variant: when the character says smth like “what’s the worse that could happen?” and it cuts to a scene where it’s so much worse than what they imagined

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it’s an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

climate grief is also a thing.

This is how I too have learned that this show which I still see fandom posts for has not been made in eight years, but frankly that is how fandom was supposed to work for all shows. The rest of you need to get on their level

The entire concept of modern fandom would not exist at all if hundreds of thousands of Star Trek fans hadn’t continued obsessing about the original (three-season) series for decades after it was cancelled. Where is this idea that we need to memory hole any media older than three years coming from? Who are you people?

gotta share @telesilla’s tags -

#that was (give or take) around the time of the bronze age collapse #crete was no longer a major player #and the known world was kinda in turmoil #and yet someone planted an olive tree #i’m not saying there’s a direct parallel #but you know…systemic collapse thanks to many things including climate change #and it sucked for a lot of people #but they still needed olive oil #and idk man…maybe plant a tree #because the world has ended so many times #but the tree is still here #and so are we

the world has ended so many times
but the tree is still here
and so are we

darth nihilus being able to eat planets in legends drives me crazy. we know palpatine and dooku were planning the death star as early as AOTC, and palpatine had to have invested a ludicrous amount of resources into the project even before vader’s actually, y'know, darth vader. but i’m imagining those early months where vader is absorbing sith history, sith dark magic, and palpatine is a sith as a path to power but vader was lured in specifically by the promise of learning powers that break natural law, y'know? he’s a little evil college student hitting the books for his cult midterms, y'know? he also maybe wants to resurrect a couple important people he might have killed, it’s whatever. but he’s perusing palpatine’s acquired sith library while palpatine gloats over the progress of his death star. very domestic for two despots. but vader’s reading about darth nihilus. and then, y'know, he looks at the death star plans. and then he looks back at the ancient tome containing the history of darth nihilus. and after five minutes of mentally wringing his hands, he’s like, “master, could we not have…. utilized the force….. to achieve this end?” palpatine spends several minutes monologuing about how the empire needs a symbol of strength and something concrete to fear and also he holds stock in the company the project was contracted to so fuck off and vader’s just standing there, looking between the death star (that is not on schedule to be completed for nearly twenty years) and his silly little bedtime story about a sith lord who could eat planets for breakfast, convinced he could teach himself how to eat a planet faster than palpatine can get the death star finished. he is kind of irritated palpatine won’t even let him try. so in ANH when vader bellows about the power of the force, this is an actual disagreement he’s had with his boss, and vader’s been annoyed about this for nearly twenty years now, because fuck you, he could totally eat a planet. don’t underestimate his power. FUCK you

To be fair Nihilus was basically a slave to his hunger by the end of his life with possibly no real remnant of his conscious or personality left, only a Sith in the loosest sense of the word since he was going to one day become so hungry that he wouldn’t be satisfied with the Jedi and start consuming his own forces, inevitably seeking to eliminate all life and the universe itself before dying of his own hunger so it’s more a practicality than anything else for Palpatine…but Vader honestly might kinda be into that given his vague allusions to thinking of himself as the galaxies avatar of death and arbitrator of destiny. So yeah he’s still going to be jealous.

vader, in the middle of his elevator pitch about how palpatine should let him eat planets: it will save the empire trillions in costs and allow for—

palpatine: you do realize that lord nihilus lost his consciousness entirely and then proceeded to mindlessly devour all life in an endless procession through the galaxy? no political gain to be had, just complete emptiness, eating itself?

vader, trying not to reveal how much he thinks that rules: yes. but there is no reason to take it to the extent lord nihilus did. if it were targeted, controlled—

palpatine: are you actually suggesting a plan that relies on your self-control.

vader:

this is extra funny because this is the dialogue every jedi who wants to use the Dark Side juuuuuuust a liiiiiiitle bit for a Good Reason has with some mentor figure but this places Palpatine in the role of Sensible Role Model Aware Of Consequences And The Deletrious Effects Of The Dark Side.

#i’m laughing so hard #he would want to be darth nihilus so bad

he really would!!!! i think sith should develop a sort of patron saint-esque idea surrounding dead sith lords, and there’s no way vader doesn’t latch onto nihilus as Peak Sith Ideology. vader himself is also consumed by agonies of the soul and desires boundlessly in a way that’s specifically impossible to satisfy - he can’t stop death, so he becomes it. vader would also like to leave his shambling corpse of a body behind and attach his consciousness to his mask and armor. nihilus is all-consuming fatalism personified. vader would eat that shit right up.

also extremest lol @ Sensible Role Model, Sheev Palpatine. i’ve been prodding at the idea for a while that vader’s honestly very into the fucked up sith magic and rituals side of sithing around, moreso than the galactic domination angle, but evil magic probably comes with a high cost and sometimes palpatine looks at his apprentice - who is in respiratory failure, kidney failure, liver failure, heart failure, has boss lightning-induced epilepsy, brain tissue that looks already zombified, the works - and has to try to get the guy to rein it in. sometimes palpatine has to step in to make sure vader doesn’t die through doing too much sith blood magic. he has to lose his status as the Fun Uncle for this
