TFW your boyfriend is a 17th Century Catholic vampire who is NOT OVER™ the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Ok i was expecting red flags and shit but I’m not sure what color this flag is but there’s a flag and I’m confused.
I miss Jason
Honestly, that scale actually makes perfect sense, especially for a sixty person dance crew. You want people who are really good at what they do, but not who will attempt to stand out and affect the cohesion of the group. Too fresh and not fresh enough are both negative qualities. And Jason is just saying that an 8 represents the ideal amount. That’s actually pretty deep, and suggests a collectivist instinct in him.
And yes, that means that Jason is effectively saying that Michael is too smart for his own good, to his detriment.
I saw this and went “oh, so it works like the pH scale”… then realized that means that he’s calling Michael basic.
He’s also inadvertently practicing Virtue Ethics. The theory of virtue ethics states that every virtue, like generosity, exists on a spectrum somewhere between two vices, like stinginess and being so generous you harm yourself.
Okay for reference, Batman can’t see the shades because he doesn’t have magical powers and the Shades know this. But shit like this has been happening the whole movie and he’s gotten decently good at telling where magical shit is based on where everyone else is gawking at.
I just love that the Shades genuinely get spooked, suddenly unsure if Batman actually does have powers or if he’s secretly a god or something. Cause that’s what Batman does: tricking far more powerful heroes and villains into thinking he’s not just a rich boy in a mask.
Batman is so fucking good
amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)
this changed my life
this was written before the printing press was invented and it still sounds like a modern day shitpost
a form of indian poetry, keh (say) mukarni (denial) is an interesting genre of riddles played between two young women, where one of them describes something in a way that it is mistaken by the other girl as her beloved, and finally turns out to be something completely different
what is poetry if not the memes for our foremothers
Amir Khusrow btw was a man who frequently explored writing in the feminine voice, where he often professed his relentless love for his spiritual guide Nizamuddin Auliya. It’s rare to see his more comical works, but pleasant nonetheless.
