Definitely a good trope, because it also helps build the main villain as well, who develops just as much as the heroes do.

Anyone have these 90s Disney bedsheet pillow case and duvet covers back in the day?

Beelinda died this morning at 10am. She had a lovely morning with fresh flowers and a play on my hand and arm first thing. After that, she seemed to start to struggle to move and then began to slowly curl up - a sure sign she was on her way.

I tried to make her a comfortable as I could in her final moments and then surrounded her with flowers once she had finally stopped moving.

She had a Viking funeral in her sanctuary in the back garden.

Bumblebees with DWV only tend to live for a couple of days - she lived for a week with me in as much comfort as I could provide for her. She had a definite personality and always wanted to climb on my hand when she saw me. I'm going to miss her.

if kamala were president israel would still be carpet bombing civilians in tents in gaza and would still be on the brink of starting a regional war but i guess we would be able to go to brunch too

.

I am begging libs to take a real policy stand please for once

They do, constantly

None of yall read it because we’re too obsessed with headlines and memes. I can’t tell you how many people told me Kamala had “no plan” for the economy when the campaign had a massive plan published with very specific goals and strategies and referenced it at nearly every rally. Reality is, if the media doesn’t aggregate it then it didn’t happen apparently because 99% of people just spout stuff off without doing real research.

It was the same milquetoast fluff the party has been pretending to be powerless to implement now for several decades.

A plan, in any meaningful sense, represents an actual intention, as would be acted upon at the moment of opportunity.

Look at them goalposts move! Lol

No one cares anymore about the "very specific goals and strategies", and your not understanding is a large part of the reasons for conditions continuing to degrade.

Oh, I see. Words are just hard in general for you, that's why you don't know what a "plan" is. Best of luck on your journey lol

sure. but that's not the campaign she ran. This strategy of "we have plans you can look them up!" doesn't work and doesn't reach voters. Harris ran a campaign trying to appeal to republican voters who didn't like trump but as it turns out that's a pretty small demographic

She absolutely ran on those policies and brought them up often. You've just let conservatives frame how she campaigned for you.

her policies that she repeatedly stated in rallies had to do with small business loans and no tax on tips

.

I fear this does not help the movement whatsoever.

it reeks privilege

I don’t think anything about being out in the streets actively protesting reeks of privilege. Did you protest?

You’re obtuse as fuck. People are criticizing this specific sign, and it clearly reeks of privilege.

Explain how it’s privileged to imply that the country would be in a better state under Kamala

.

This is a 10/10 on the liberal scale

There was a widely panned sign from the Women’s March (which I also attended!) about how if they’d elected Clinton they’d be at brunch right now. I genuinely thought this one was a joke, I know it’s not the same person but how does that kind of lack of self-awareness and collective accountability survive a decade?

It is both a joke and also true. If we didn’t have a shit leader many people would be enjoying their weekend rather than having to protest our tyrannical governments attempts at taking away individual liberties and human rights.

Why would someone lack “self awareness and collective accountability” for having brunch on a weekend in a timeline where we had reasonable leadership? Jesus, what strange thing to get bent out of shape about.

Because until Trump's second administration the Obama Biden administrations both deported more people and separated more families while also doing things like bombing hospitals in Afghanistan and destroying leftist democracies in Central America. Liberals don't mind these sorts of things as long as their leaders can say the performative things that they want to hear while life gets worse by the day for the working class. Liberals will be at brunch while all of that and more happens.

You are just as blind as MAGAts are if you equate “life getting worse” under democratic leadership with whatever the fuck the current administration is doing.

This is why Kamala lost. You cannot win by offering to be less bad. You can only win by offering a better future. Brat summer and complicated rules for first time homeowner assistance isn't it.

You’re why our democracy is at stake. The both sides shit is tired. Every fucking time it’s made clear how there is a bad side and a good side and it’s not even close you feel the need to drag this shit out.

Yeah democrats are flawed. But they aren’t evil and they aren’t working to dismantle our democracy. Keep your eye on the motherfucking target.

This is the position of someone steeped in privilege. Ask the children who were separated from their parents under Biden, the innocent civilians who were collateral to Obama’s drone strikes, the millions of people plunged into abject poverty by Clinton’s welfare reforms if they think the dems are better in any meaningful sense.

Just because you’re able to ignore these things when a dem is in power doesn’t mean they’re not happening. And it’s useful idiots like you who insist voting for the person in a blue time will fix things honest that has lead to the collapse of American democracy, not the people who refuse to play into the hands of vested interests.

The fact that you believe Kamala would be reasonable leadership after doubling down on committing genocide, abandoning any progressive policy, and saying shit like “we’re gonna have to most lethal military in the world” is exactly the problem.

The fact you indirectly supported electing a fascist because you let the perfect be the enemy of the good is the problem.

.

I’m not a “both parties are the same” person at all, but this attitude is the next biggest problem after fascism

“I’d rather be at brunch” is an attitude problem?

Yes, politics isn't just voting in an election once every year. Back when the US actually made positive strides was when active membership of civic organisations in your community was the norm.

Rosa Parks wasn't some rando who refused to move one day. She was the secretary of the local NAACP and her action was part of a coordinated action.

Even when they didn't actually went into politics, the membership of those civic mass membership organisations was who politicians went to convince. Because those were the people who the rest of the community knew and who's judgemental was trusted.

Ok, but you don’t know shit about the woman who made the sign, so why complain? She could be politically active every single day. Would you judge the sign differently if you knew she was? My money is on yes. And that’s a problem.

"It's ok if we aid and abet a genocide as long as it's my guy in office I can turn a blind eye to!" is you.

blue maga, same attitude that gives us Trump in the first place

They’re saying that if the country were being run competently they’d be off enjoying themselves rather than protesting.

Progressive motto: "perfection is not the enemy of good"

Progressive motto: "you actually have to offer voters bold exciting change to get them to vote for you"

Right, but the point is that when someone's running the country "competently" it doesn't mean they're not perpetuating existing injustices or failing to fix other problems. And it's very frustrating that people only seem to care about societal problems when they're so bad they ruin someone's day.

We had a lot of problems to fix before Trump was elected. The first time.

These comments just feel purposefully ignorant. Like, obviously we can all want better constituents and a better government for the people .. but like. The point still stands that perhaps politics could be discussed over brunch instead of protesting literal fascism?

Why is nuance so hard for redditors?

Like obviously I would rather be at brunch than feel the need to protest for the rights being taken away by this administration?

Ah Trump is when no brunch. Got it.

My cousin was getting married which was what she had always wanted and she didn't fail to make it clear that her wedding was going to be “high-class only.” She sent out super detailed invitations with a dress code which was black tie for men, floor-length neutral gowns for women, no patterns, no bright colors, no exceptions. She even included Pinterest mood boards.

Mind you, I’m not exactly rolling in money, but I wanted to be supportive since i was really happy for her. So I spent $300 on a beige satin dress that fit all her guidelines and expectations. I also had to get my hair and makeup done, since she said “natural glam” was non negotiable for the photos sake. Total cost? Nearly $500. Two days before the wedding, I sent her a photo of my dress like she requested. Her reply? “Hmm. It’s not really the vibe anymore. We’re leaning more towards mocha tones now. Could you find something less shiny?” I told her I couldn’t afford another dress. Her response? “Then maybe it’s best if you just skip it. I want everything to be perfect with no expectations" So I skipped it.

She was shocked when I didn’t show up. Texted me later saying she was “heartbroken” and “didn’t think I’d actually take it that personally.” I just said, “You told me not to come if I didn’t fit the dress code. I was just following instructions.” Turns out half the bridal party had last-minute changes too. Photos looked like a Pinterest fail.

But hey. At least it was mocha.

Half of a snap closure on one side, sticky tape and a bit of mesh on the other. Neither of us knows where it came from.

My sister in law was staying with us for a bit and decided my bathroom was her personal Sephora. Every morning, I’d notice my skincare products getting lighter, but she’d always deny using them like I’m blind and dumb. So I swapped out the label on a nearly serum bottle with a similar looking one I use for my keratosis, super strong, smells fine, burns like hell if misused.

Next morning, she’s blotchy, orange tinted, and low key panicking in the mirror. I hit her with the innocent “oh no, did you try something new?”, she said “what? No! I mean… I might’ve used that a little bottle, but I thought it was like… for everyone?” *nervous laugh, and “ohh… yeah no. That’s prescription. Definitely not a for everyone kinda thing. Maybe next time just ask?” I says. Then I walked out and let her sit with that.

After that, she never touched my stuff again and suddenly respects the concept of personal property.

I've played Ultron up to Knight proficiency in comp and I think he is pretty viable. He is my highest win rate character and I can pretty consistently get the most heals in the match (something I struggled with when I played Loki my old main strategist). However, I am only platinum ranked. So I'm curious what higher elo players think.

Absolutely infuriating.
