I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

    Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

    However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

    One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

    For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.



  • The reason you can’t afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it’s a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn’t it?

    This trope, like how the Addams Family does it, has always really bothered and confused me. Like if the characters followed it to it’s logical conclusion, it wouldn’t make any sense at all, and I just can’t get over that. I don’t know how to explain what’s logically wrong with it, I wish someone would like write a tvtropes page about it
