    I agree that something looks off about the image, and it’s definitely enhanced in some way,

    But it isn’t. That’s what is completely baffling about these accusations. They’re often made from a misunderstanding of the source material and an assumption that it must then be edited in some regard.

    It isn’t touched up. This is just a flat image of a baby seal. Seal skin has a weird quality to it that makes it look slightly blurry and incredibly soft. I would know considering they sell seal pelts at the grocery store here where I’m from. Combine that with a touch of motion blur from the seal moving and at first look it might look odd but taking a closer look that disappears. Even the eyes one might go “Bit cartoony” but then you zoom in and realize the blue is reflection from the scrubs everyone has around them.

    This is simply just a picture. No editing was done. I weep for humanity when we’re incapable of saying “I don’t know” or “I wonder why” and just default to “it is definitely enhanced”.




  • So, I full on fucking believe this.

    September of 2021, I move into a place with a roommate who has a cat. Itty bitty black cat. While she runs away from most people, she’ll run up to me. Rub up against my leg, reach up my leg leaning up, be all kinds of cute. But I spend most of my time out or in my room with the door shut. Whenever I go into the hall the cat comes running. Love her to death.

    Christmas of 2023. My roommate decides to go out to see a friend and leaves me to take care of the cat. No problem at all. Realized in that moment just how badly my roommate was taking care of the cat. My bedroom door ends up being open the whole holiday because I don’t need privacy with the roommate gone. Cat is all over me. Hangs out next to me as much as possible, rubs up against me all the time and is super sweet. Tons of slow blinks. I fall in love with her.

    In those couple of weeks I realized that the cat is autistic in the same ways I am, has ADHD in the same ways I do, and is both DESPERATE for physical love and attention (roommate gave very little) but also was kind of uncomfortable with touch and would shy away from it after initiating it. Tons of small quirks beyond that too but she just felt like a little feline me. The love I had for her when moving in was always strong but now her being beside me and stuff… I would die for her and do anything for her.

    Roommate blind sides me on Boxing day with a text saying she’s moving and I have to as well. When she comes back, the cat gets put back in the living room or roommates room most of the time and becomes noticably depressed. Roommate also flip flops on whether or not she can take the cat. Eventually, I tell roommate that if she says I can take her one more time, I am taking her. This is like the 8th time and emotionally I cannot handle being super happy and then super sad. She says I can take her one more time. She doesn’t flip flop back.

    Now, over a year later, my little girl is sat next to me and looking out my office window while purring quietly. I renamed her Una. Both her and I have changed our names now and both for the same reason. Our original name gives us anxiety because we had it yelled at us so much.

    I seriously started treating Una like she was a smaller me and it was insane how easy it was to ‘figure eachother out’ in that regard.

    Moonraker.

    Your argument is invalid.

    Being shit is sort of part of Bond tradition

    Edit: This comment was meant to be jokey but re-reading it, that tone isn’t really achieved.

    My point was just that Bond movies have a series of being all over the place. I mean we have gotten a lot of insane bullshit in the past. And while the original movies were more ‘serious’, they also had way more camp and fun than the Craig ones do. I love the Craig ones for what they are but they’re a very gritty take on Bond. I just hope it doesn’t become the default.


  • Well, first off, the opinion of someone who spreads gossip means absolutely nothing to me.

    Second, I’m not aggressive towards people calling that out. I’m aggressive towards people who lie, spread false information, have no reputable sources for their claims but still insist that they be taken seriously and factually. I asked you at the start of this if you had proof of him being a douchebag or you just didn’t like him. The correct answer to that was “I just don’t like him.” You do not have proof.

    Third, if you’re talking about the real Paul Stamets then I don’t care about him. He is anti-union. Couldn’t care less. If you’re talking about the character, then you know literally nothing about the show as Stamets would have been more dismissive of you. If anything, I was more polite.

    You should really sit down.
