People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Do they know that reading is not mandatory? Nobody is forcing them to read?
there should be a socially acceptable way to say "im not sure what to say to that. can you say something different"
this website is horrible and everyone is mean as fuck. with that being said reblog and compliment the previous person in the tags ✨
It’s Not a Plot Hole, It’s Foreshadowing

It’s Not a Plot Hole, It’s Just Something That They Opted Not to Spoon-feed You Because It Would Be Obvious If You Thought About It For 20 Seconds

It May Be a Plot Hole, But It Still Works In Terms of the Story’s Themes and Character Logic

Okay, It Is a Plot Hole, What Are You Going to Do, Cry about It?
why does viva la vida by coldplay always go so hard. i hear those opening strings and instantly im a cynical and mournful king walking through his overthrown kingdom like oh shit I totally did used to rule the world!!! I used to roll the dice and feel the fear in my enemies’ eyes but now im literally sweeping the streets I used to own!!!! idk what it is about this song but for some reason i can’t explain
""I am made of the echo of a dying star, its death rattle courses through my veins. I must shine brightly in its stead, so its sacrifice was not in vain."
I got real poetic the other day.
Kind of obsessed that we're made of stars.

Maybe it’s the issue of english speaking countries ‘cus english is international so why learn sth else… But it’s stupid anyway, learning languages give you general educational skills…
[In my country we start learning english in second grade (~8 years old). In some schools it’s german or french but mostly english]
the issue with language learning in the US education system, at least in public schools, is you don't even start until high school, and it's not required. i didn't start learning spanish until my junior year because i wanted to take orchestra as an elective, and i couldn't take orchestra while i took spanish, which was annoying to me.
but that's really too late! idk why we don't teach kids at least one language starting in kindergarten. maybe it's better now idk.

And that's half the trouble, because Irish is at least remotely similar to English. English is not my first language, but I'm getting by. But trying to learn Japanese in Duolingo, for example, is a disaster. I studied Japanese for a year at the institute with a teacher and it's only because of that knowledge that I can see that learning Japanese through English is bloody hell because their grammars are too different. Learn Japanese through Russian, it's easier XD
Duolingo will have you thinking you totally speak Italian but then you listen to any random podcast or look at a book and you recognize like 1 out of every 15 words it’s humbling.
Duolingo is really shitty tool for learning languages tbh.
Thirty-five days ago (yes, Duo, thank you, you can count) I started learning Irish out of sheer curiosity. *squinting at my hyperfixation on Cillian Murphy*
And, well... *inhale*
I have never had anything explained, not a single reason for a certain word order in a grammatical construction or why a simple ‘thank you’ would be ‘go raibh maith agat’ and ‘please’ would be ‘le do thoil’. I only know that ‘le’ is ‘with’ and ‘do’ is ‘your’. And that's only because I've seen them in other exercises.
I have to look at the suggested word forms on the choices myself and conclude that, for example, ‘mother’ would be ‘mathair’ and ‘my mother’ would be ‘mo mhathair’. And by analogy, this ‘h’ appears in all the family members when indicating affiliation (and with for some fuckin' reason it's the second letter). At the same time, the indication ‘my’ from ‘mo’ turns into ‘m'’ if the word following it starts with a vowel. For example, ‘my daughter’ is ‘m'iníon’.
Also, I was not given any instruction on how to read the three-storey combinations of vowels and consonants, of which there are a shitload. Purely by experience through sound exercises, I can guess that ‘ch’ will sound like ‘h’ and ‘bh’ will sound like some kind of half-swallowed ‘v’ that doesn't sound like ‘v’. And with vowels it's a nightmare, one sounds like one, but all three are written, just in case, but God forbid you mix up the order.
And then suddenly there are letters with accents. And I can't understand whether they really write it that way or whether they put it there for me for stupid. The answer counts as correct, even if I do not put these accents, but they write ‘pay attention to accents’. Okay? Thank you?
Long story short, I got to the middle of the first section on listening, translating and repeating words and sentences in a similar fashion. No explanation.
Duolingo will have you thinking you totally speak Italian but then you listen to any random podcast or look at a book and you recognize like 1 out of every 15 words it’s humbling.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“
NINE SEVEN PEOPLE I WANNA GET TO KNOW BETTER
Thanks @morning-alfie for the tag! Omg I feel blessed you're so cool!
LAST SONG: TOKOSHIE by MY FIRST STORY & HYDE
FAVOURITE COLOUR: No particular but I think of yellow-green-blue-ish range in pastel or dusty shades
CURRENTLY WATCHING: REwatching Fantastic Beasts The Secrets of Dumbledore because my brain started itching over Ezra Miller so I need to look at him for some time. Also his name flashed somewhere near Peaky Blinders so now I'm even more curious (source)
It's funny because Fantastic Beasts is taking place in the same time period as Peaky Blinders. Wanna do a crossover.
Also, I'm going to rewatch Peaky Blinders soon and take apart all six seasons episode by episode (line by line in some places).
LAST MOVIE: Kimi no Na wa (Your Name) (2016)
SWEET/SPICY/SAVOURY: Bitter. or bittersweet
CURRENT OBSESSIONS: Peaky Blinders, obviously; horror games in general and analog horrors specifically; all sorts of imaginative plots that include higher powers
LAST THING YOU GOOGLED: poets of the fall songs in alan wake
People I'd like to get to know better: @kribus @shenji-yei @tommyshelby87 @deadendtracks @generalflowerpolice @zlittka @lesthell21
Credence & Dumbledore at Nurmengard - Snitchseeker
Dumbledore: And these, have been like this for some time, haven't they?
Your tongue was made soft and your teeth were made hard for a reason. Speak softly and gently, word your thoughts with grace. All things that are true and worth saying can be said kindly. And if people don't listen, bite them in the face.
Reblog and put in the tags what you would have been blogging about on tumblr in 2004.
Am I the only one who's never seen this picture before or? Like look how cute he is 🥹🥰
