I Have Some Amazing Pebbles In My Life.

You ever think about how Tony probably wanted to meet Peter just as much as Peter wanted to meet Tony? Definitely not for as long a period of time, but Tony’s in the middle of all the Accords shit, his life is kind of going to hell and his friends are basically abandoning him and he’s in the search for allies when he finds this new supe in Queens. And he and FRI do a little investigating and oh shit, new guy is a kid. A fifteen-year-old kid, an orphan whose uncle just died in a tragic accident, who’s on a scholarship to genius science kid school and chooses to go out at night and stop car wrecks? Protect local bodegas? Beat up attempted muggers and rapists in alleys and web them up for the police? 

At bad moments throughout Civil War, I just imagine Tony sitting back and like, pulling up the stupid YouTube Channel you just know Peter and Ned had when they were eleven. Tony looks up the articles on Peter’s science fair wins, he’s got FRIDAY constantly watching CCTV in Queens for this kid, trying to see what he does next. Trying to make sure he doesn’t die. 

All before Tony ever meets Peter. 

And then, then Tony meets Peter and it all goes to shit, because goddammit, the kid is even more impressive, more wonderful and amazing and good in person, and Tony just sits back and accepts the fact that, fuck, yeah okay, I guess I’m your dad now, deal with it.

That last comment is like... so wrong. It is NEVER okay to spank your children and it doesn’t matter if you do it with or without a reason. My parents never laid a hand on me and my siblings, and we didn’t grow up “throwing tantrums in Walmart”! You’d never spank your (grownup) friend because he/she did something wrong, so why should it be allowed when the one who’s being spanked ist a defenseless child?! Yes, disciplining your children is right and important but you can do that WITHOUT physical abuse - just with words. I know that children don’t always listen to what you say and more often don’t behave. But that can’t and mustn’t be an excuse for taking advantage of the fact that children are smaller and weaker than you and can easily be “corrected” by physical “gestures” you’d hardly use for a misbehaving dog.

Beside that - maybe those people who spank their children or think that it’s okay to do so should think about what physical contact means to children. When they are small and can’t talk physical contact is all they’ve got. They learn their worth and importance through this form of contact and it’s their only way to communicate. Imagine what it does to a little human being (or any kind of being) if you take that contact, that medium, that TRUST and use it against them - just because it acts in a way you don’t like.

Spanking children isn’t okay. And there’s no excuse or reason that could change this.

(Sorry for writing so much in probably so bad English. I’m not a English native, but I couldn’t scroll past this without commenting on it.)

the spanking debate isn’t all that complicated. you’re either ok with hitting small kids who are completely defenseless and literally at your mercy, or you’re not. supporting the first option makes you a bad and dangerous person, and unfit to be a parent, and im sorry to say but there’s no way around this, no excuses or loopholes. it is what it is

I can’t stop watching this 😂😂

i wish somebody looked at me like the way he looked at that onion

Me basically. And literally.

This is beautiful and melancholic and unbelievable sad. But it sums up humanity in a perfect way and reading this gives me hope that there are still a few good people out there.

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us– we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.

Love this 😍😂

There are a lot of bad things every day but I think standing in the sun and watering the strawberries really does make everything a little less bad 🍓
