Did You Guys See Yesterday That A Whistleblower Came Forward And Said That Facebook Knows How To Remove

I was just reminded of the fact the writers actually made Bucky and Sam BREAK John Walker´s arm over that stupid shield (Stupid as in the comical importance it is given in the show when it could have simply belonged to Sam from the beginning without the bullshit drama, there, I said it) minutes after Lemar died and John is clearly in a vulnerable state of mind. 

Ehem… wtf? I love Sam and Bucky but I hate this moment so much I am just going to imagine it is as canon as Steve going back in time and abandoning his friends and Sharon to be with a married woman (Meaning, I am in denial, these are not my Sam and Bucky).

Of course most fans don´t care (More like, they actively celebrate it) because John just killed a man (Which doesn´t stop those same fans from feeling bad about characters with as much blood on their hands, but that is another issue), but these are supposed to be the heroes of the story, the moral compasses to contrast John´s impulsiveness, which I admit is a huge character flaw, to show how much “better” they are than him. And yet they can´t even wait until John is in a more balanced mental state to go for the shield?

Don´t kid yourselves, this may be a cool “yaasss finally!” moment for most of the biased audience, but in my eyes, it just portrays Sam and Bucky as not caring about either Lemar nor the flag smasher that was just killed in place of Karli. They just jumped at the first opportinity they had to grab the shield when it was probably going to be taken from John later by the government anyway, as if it was all they cared about. 

They acted like petty schoolchildren fighting over a toy and were willing to physically harm someone who had fought with them and even saved their asses one time when it was not their friend who had just died in front of their eyes. They showed no compassion whatsoever, and I hated that decision from the writers on Sam and Bucky´s behalf.

You want to talk about how John didn´t deserve the shield? You want to talk about how Steve decided not to kill Tony in the end of Civil War? Fine, John is too impulsive and emotional for the shield, and I agree that flag smasher should have been arrested, but how about the fact in this scene neither Sam nor Bucky acted as compassionately as Steve did when Wanda blew up a building accidentally, for example? Different circumstances and levels of culpability, I agree (Like, it is hard to find a 100% similar scenareo, Wanda´s situation was a complete accident, but one she caused and killed lots of innocents), but Steve did what was best for both the victims by calling for emergency services, and for the person responsible. He continued caring for Wanda and worrying for her.

And no, it wasn´t done for “safety” reasons, what use could it have been to take the shield away from Walker when he had already taken the serum and was a “weapon” himself? (As far as I can remember, he had already taken it, correct me if I am wrong, but if I am wrong then this is much worse for the writers, as it would then make no sense that it took so much effort for Bucky and Sam to break his arm) It is clear the anger was directed at the flagsmashers, not random civilians, and the fight had already finished, there were no flag smashers around. 

Sam and Bucky broke John walker´s arm to get the shield because they wanted it, as simple as that, they cared more about an inanimate object (As much symbolism as it has, that is all it is) than any of what had just happened,  more than the deaths, more than John having just done something  terrible, more than his pain over losing his friend that very same hour, more than anything else. Of course I blame the writers and am outraged on Bucky but especially Sam´s behalf (Didn´t he counsil traumatized soldiers, what gives?), but following my own logic, in universe, that is what happened, and I just can´t see how is is that they are much more worthy of the shield than John himself.

I think about how the last thing we heard Lemar say to John was “think of all the lives we could have saved that day if we had that serum”

And then when John got the serum, he couldn’t save Lemar’s life

But when that truck with the hostages was going to fall, John, with the strength of the serum, was able to grab onto it and keep it from falling — yes he ultimately couldn’t pull it from the edge but if he hadn’t kept it from falling, Sam wouldn’t have had the time to get there to grab it

In the end, John did exactly what Lemar thought they could do with the serum: save lives

I don’t know if these cops were unable to stop this murder, because they chose not to try.

An entire classroom was murdered while these fucking cowards tased and handcuffed the parents of those children who were begging these fucking useless men to do their fucking jobs.

Stop telling me I’m supposed to blindly support cops. These cowards want to cosplay as soldiers, and when the public they are supposed to serve needed them, they hid and showed us exactly who they are. Every one of these cops is complicit in these murders, and they should be held accountable for their inaction.

This is what happens when people become cops so they can bully and harass people with impunity. Thee cowards aren’t going to risk their lives for anyone. They’re cosplaying.

This police force gets FORTY PERCENT of the city’s budget. This tiny town has a SWAT team. That wasn’t enough to save these children and their teachers.

Fuck the police.

Good on them

There is no such thing as childhood in Gaza

Israeli attacks expose Palestinian children to daily horrors.

Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldn’t have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.

I don’t know how he let them get away with this but uhhhh, they did and now he gets some awesome hairdos that he loves

Anyway, I’ll probably see if I can draw him and Op in some different outfits in their holos because I totally am not obsessed!

What is something objectively good that you don't like or hate?

My issue is that if I hate something, even if it's good up until that point, I don't continue engaging in it. If I dislike a game, I don't typically continue playing it.

If I dislike something, I typically do not dwell on it either, so I don't remember it.

Cyberspace

During his time working at the Science Patrol, Dr. Michiyuki Ashihara discovered an ancient Super computer on the moon, known as the Moon Cell. Thanks to his prior research, he was able to reactivate it. Thanks to the special properties of the Archetype molecule it was able to perform computing power far beyond the level of any human made computer. It achieved this by using the Archetype to receive Data from the Future. However, when using this computer, Ashihara began receiving errors, which indicated that at some point in the future a cataclysm would occur, potentially as a result of the Ashihara’s own research. Not wanting his research to be stopped, but knowing that the Science Patrol would do so when they discovered the situation, Ashihara began taking steps to ensure that it would continue after he had to abandon the Science Patrol.
