“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em

“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant

gotta admit, I'm impressed with their dedication to the bit

i'm literally begging people to relearn how to use earbuds and headphones. i don't wanna hear your fucking tiktok while im waiting for my flight.

i think one thing that complicates ppls willingness to understand wild animal safety is that people often take the statement ‘this animal will kill you with no remorse’ as a morally-charged statement about that animal and will get defensive on that animals behalf, because they themselves are equating predatory behavior with ‘meanness’ and can’t imagine a situation in which an animal such as a bear or big cat could both be a delightful, fascinating animal with capacity for complex interactions with humans and also an animal who simply does not have the same social contracts or see any problem with killing an eating any other animal if it feels safe doing so to. i’ve said similar before on a broader post abt animal intelligence but like, if your appreciation for animals like bears and tigers is ruined by the idea that there’s nothing you can do to prevent a bear or tiger from seeing you as potential food (short of raising it in a way that would be extremely mentally damaging for the animal, lmao), then that’s problem with your own limits to compassion for animals lmao.

it’s wrong to equate an animals carnivory to it being ‘bad’ and its fair to point out how that’s been historically used to demonize animals like wolves but it’s no better to pretend an animal isn’t what it is for your own comfort.

Gandalf: Hmm, I think the Shire-folk need to be reintroduced to the outside world… Gradually, though, this isn’t the sort of thing you can do all at once. I’ll just bring one hobbit on an adventure again, to start with, just to plant a seed…

Bilbo Baggins, having gone on one (1) adventure: *acquires a mithril-coat, Gondolin-blade, and the One Ring; becomes an Elf-friend, close to the Elvenking and Elrond Halfelven; orders party favors from Dale and Erebor decades later; learns Quenya; goes to live at Rivendell; compiles a comprehensive history of the First Age in Westron from translated Elvish epics and primary-source accounts; becomes personal friends with the Heir of Isildur; eventually sails to Valinor*
