America is just an empire that changes it’s emperor every 4 or 8 years(not counting death)
I think one of the most important reasons why the USA tends to be seen in a better light than China vis a vis human rights violations is because China makes the crucial mistake of doing more of them to its own people.
Like yeah Americans have terrible healthcare and the largest prison population in the world and an oppressive spiral of poverty but their worst offenses are mostly committed at a distance in the Middle East, South America, and previously in South East Asia. Being an American looks pretty good! It gets you further away from their human rights violations!
Such a rough day being cute and adorable

tumblr will always be a better website than twitter because you can only retweet a tweet once, whereas on this website if i really like a post i can make my followers scroll past it twelve times in a row
accidentally caused myself to get a stomach ache by vividly imagining myself eating the burger i was planning on having for dinner tomorrow
“We dropped different numbers of balls at different rates, different heights. We had a ramp. The ramps were at different angles, trying to get the most out of the balls as they hit the actors. After doing the tests, we figured out 35 feet above the deck of the ship was the height we needed our nets. We had these three big nets that held almost 80,000 per net. The balls dropped 35 feet into ramps that projected them towards the stunt guys. It just knocked them over. It was pretty spectacular.”

“It’s amazing to see a bunch of 40 and 50-year-olds turn into three-year-olds all of a sudden. Everybody had to pick up blue balls, hit the other guy in the head. It was like, ’Is it time for the parents to come pick up the kids?’”
-George Marshall Ruge, Stunt Coordinator for Pirates of the Caribbean

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”
So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”
