It’s a strange assembly that gathers in the council room of High Hrothgar. They file in glowering, legionaries and rebels, tight-faced Thalmor dignitaries, kings with causes and kings without. Generals. Dragon-slayers. A contentious jarl or two.
And they take their seats stiffly, these grand warriors and sovereigns of men, all muttering about the climb, the cold, the sharp stones underfoot, the troll, and whose idea was it to hold a peace council at the peak of the tallest mountain in Skyrim, anyway?
The Dragonborn, seated in pride of place at the head of the assembly, smiles like a snake. “Thank you all for attending this summit.”
“money can’t buy happiness” no offense but I’m at least 40% happier when I actually have money to take care of myself and do fun things… just sayin…
FUN FACT: psychologists and sociologists have actually studied this and it turns out money DOES in fact buy happiness but only up to a certain salary (I think its a little under $100,000 a year idk exactly), basically like once you make enough money that you don’t worry about not having enough money to live and also can do nice things occasionally, so “money can’t buy happiness” is a saying invented by rich people for rich people and they just say it to poor people cause they don’t want to give up their money
“Money can’t by happiness” was originally meant as a rebuke to rich people, saying that since they can’t buy happiness with their excess wealth, they should use it to help others.
Since then, the phrase has been twisted to mean that poor people shouldn’t complain.
The second meaning is utter BS, for the reasons described above.
Anyone else spent a good 3-4 years clicking random boxes in minesweeper until you died because you had no idea how it worked and didn’t realize the game had instructions?
tiny brain: brooklyn nine nine isnt cop propaganda
average brain: brooklyn nine nine IS cop propaganda and that means u cant watch it
giant brain: brooklyn nine nine is absolutely cop propaganda and 1 episode about the treatment of black people by cops in no way fixes that, however i still watch and enjoy it because i am a mature person with critical thinking skills who understands that boycotting every problematic piece of media is a fruitless endeavor. especially because boycotting b99 specifically would mean sacrificing the many other great things it brings to tv, including its humor, its diversity, its strong & well-rounded female characters, its presentation of healthy friendships & relationships, its subversion of harmful stereotypes, and its constant social commentary on political issues such as transphobia, gun control, flaws in the prison system etc which other shows wouldnt DARE touch
galaxy brain: BOOOooooOOoooNE!!
Interdimensional Brain: B99 has had plots and subplots about the problems with the police as an institution since it started. The episode that was specifically about racial profiling wasn’t anything new for the show, which has consistently featured “good guys who are cops” as its protagonists instead of a simplistic “cops are the good guys” narrative, making it very much not propaganda. It isn’t “cop propaganda” any more than The Office is “capitalist propaganda” or Parks and Recreation is “state propaganda.” Let’s realize that a workplace comedy being set in an institution you disagree with doesn’t make it propaganda.
Me: *tells a “completely normal” and “kinda funny” annecdote from my childhood that totally wasn’t traumatic at all and probably happens to everyone at some point*
Here’s a compiled post of all Nanny Ashtoreth in Nanny Fran Fine fashion doodled I’ve done! So you can savour all of them at once because- let’s be real here- this crossover is exquisite.
