One of my favorite things of Phoenix and Miles as characters is how their outer reputation and actual personalities are switched

As in, Phoenix is generally perceived as this actual cinnamon roll who is inoffensive to anyone and don’t get me wrong, he generally is, but

Miles is the one who sounds epically brusque and has a reputation for handing out the legendary roasts in court

THEN the game puts you in their heads, and while Miles is the one who has the quietest, most patient and accepting average thoughts, Phoenix keeps mentally outsassing the world 24/7 with even MORE epic roasts

guys whine about being “beta males” like no shit most people would rather wait for the stable release than fight with your unspeakably broken user interface and that weird glitch where you clip through a wall and end up in the friend zone

Guess that would make alpha males where they don’t have the textures finished yet, so it’s all primary colors with no shading or nuance.

I mean

I feel like that’s a pretty good description of a guy in a polo shirt

This ice-age carving of a mammoth or a mastodon was recently discovered in Florida. The carving was made on a small bone, and is 3 inches long from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, and 1.75 inches tall from the top of the head to the bottom of the right foreleg. Researchers estimate the carving is about 13,000 years old. It is now the only known ice-age depiction of this animal from the Western hemisphere.

The coolest thing about these carvings (other than their incredible age and the fact they show an extinct animal) is the fact that they were designed to move when viewed by firelight.

Do you see the multiple outlines of the mammoth? The way the feet and trunk change position in them? Different lines would have been illuminated as the firelight flickered, giving the illusion of moving images.

when guys are like “girls over [relatively low weight] shouldn’t wear [revealing article of clothing]” a lot of the time they are trying to get women above that weight to say “OH REALLY?” and post a picture of themselves looking good in that article of clothing. It’s a creepy power play designed to prey on both women’s confidence and their insecurities and trick them into posting revealing pictures of themselves for the sexual gratification of men who they otherwise wouldn’t have given the time of day. It’s a sleazy pick-up artist tactic. It’s negging. When you see an all-too-common post that’s like “bigger girls shouldn’t wear bikinis” and the response is him getting “owned” because a woman replied with pictures of herself looking beautiful, he’s not getting owned at all, he’s getting exactly the result he was hoping for. They’re basically saying “You sure showed me by sending me, a huge sexist creep, a picture of yourself in a bikini! PLEASE don’t send me nudes, I don’t know if I could take the humiliation!”

The scary thing is that I’ve had a guy admit this to me. He said something about “fat girls always have ugly tits”. I am fat and a girl. I said “no, they don’t.” He said “prove it”. When I made it clear that a) I had nothing to prove, b) why the fuck am I gonna care about some beanpole-in-a-meme-shirt’s opinion?, and c) I wasn’t EVER gonna send him shit, he went crazy. Straight up admitted that the technique always worked blah blah, I must have been a dude pretending to be a girl blah blah, and basically had a temper tantrum till I blocked him.

So 100% guys that do this are garbage and even if they’re not, remember that you don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

“YOU DON’T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE” ^^^^^^^
