I like Blue Turtle especially! They’re an artist that does fantasy animations over long chill playlists

If I’m coming back before the iron age, electricity isn’t my biggest concern. All you need for a magnet is two pieces of iron to rub together, and copper is one of the easiest to work metals on Earth. Indigenous people here in Michigan were mining and working copper over 6000 years ago. Your dynamo doesn’t need to be good, it just has to prove the concept.

Rotating slide projector is also an easy one 😉

A copper coil, a magnet, and a repetitive source of motion is not that hard. You’d have to go really far back not to have access to a mill, and even if you did, it wouldn’t be that hard to invent a hand crank. The question is how you make the electricity useful. I think a simple heating element is probably the best option. Show them the river cooking their food, and the benefits should be obvious

I don’t think regulators are a good example for something we have too many people doing, but otherwise, this is great

I reverse engineered this, by thinking about what I would do if I was in the Pokemon world, since whatever economic system Pokemon has means that 10 year olds can support themselves with hobby income while traveling the world, and basically every adult makes their living through their special interest. So now I’m working towards becoming a wetland ecologist, and it’s led to uncovering tons of nostalgic memories from field trips and stuff in elementary school

Moreover, legitimate fascists and reactionaries are not the same as “well-meaning but misinformed” people

Yeah, this is the big point. If they’re “…[invalidating] your humanity, and the humanity of people you love,” they are just abusing your patience, and don’t deserve it. Fuck those people.

That platform could be used by anyone though, so long as they look suspicious enough.

Working from home though, at least we can be together on my lunch

Astigmatism can worsen over time. If you’re having trouble, it’s probably time to update your prescription

It doesn’t matter, the real-life associations I have with people like that are too much for me, that’s what I’m saying

I spent the first 24 years of my life living in rural northern Michigan, where they have more Confederate flags than the Confederacy did.

I can’t handle any comedy where the punchline is hicks, because the cringe is too real for me. Can’t watch Letterkenney either unfortunately. Spent too long growing up around those people to see them as funny rather than hateful

The French animated movie Mars Express has been pretty popular since it’s released last year as well

I only found out it was French a couple weeks ago when I added it to my Plex, along with some other shows I watched as a kid, like Xiaolin Showdown. It was pretty popular in the US, a lot like Avatar, though so far without the comeback that Avatar has had

He doesn’t have bones (except for in gags), so he doesn’t actually have shoulders anyway. He’s just squishy

Historically, that would not be at all surprising. That’s basically what Reagan did in California because of the Black Panthers

I think it’s more going for absurd

I couldn’t even tell that was a normal police badge, I’d assumed it was Battlestar, or some other old sci-fi I hadn’t seen. Definitely not a memorable enough scene from a sequel to an old action movie

She forgot one of the universal truths. Balls are just funny
