Sea world should be wiped the fuck out

Seaworld, zoos, circuses

Always reblog, spread the message.

no
no zoos
zoos do good things
zoos help rehabilitate animals who otherwise would not survive in the wild
zoos help protect animals that would otherwise be hunted down
and zoos give them care to keep them healthy
seaworld and circuses (involving animals)
those are the ones that are bad

Are aquariums still considered good? Cuz ours has a bunch of sea animals that were brought in due to injuries, and that seems like a good thing to help them out until they can go back in the ocean.

Aquariums function like aquatic zoos IF they are non-profit and accredited. For instance the National Aquarium does have dolphins BUT last year they stopped doing shows and literally just let the dolphins do what they want. People can come in to watch the dolphins and trainers still are there but now are less ā€œtrainersā€ and more ā€œhuman toys.ā€ Breeding efforts have stopped and they announced theyā€™re going to care for their existing pod and play as the POD wants for the rest of their life and after that, no dolphins.
Almost all their fish are nearly 20 years old (or less depending on natural life cycle, or MOREā€¦ there are a few close to 50) and they also have rehabilitation and release programs for injured animals. Since they are non-profit every bit of money goes to constant improvements in their tanks, research, and conservation efforts.
Sea World, despite all their advertising and talk, is a for profit organization that is more concerned with the paychecks than with animal welfare. Baltimore aquarium got a lot of people in with their dolphin shows but they stopped when learning it wasnā€™t best for their animals. Sea World has no such concern.

Keep the zoos and aquariums. Fuck sea world and circuses.

Circuses have been getting rid of  their animals in favour of human entertainment because most of them are recognizing the problems with keeping these animals which is more than I can say for sea world. Soā€¦ fuck sea world.

In the documentary, How to Survive a Plague they mention this very fact. Reagan was the president during this time and do you know what he did when the LGBTQ community begged him for help? He fucking laughed at us. His administration CELEBRATED that finally, ā€˜Godā€™s judgement in the form of a plagueā€™ was striking down queer people.Ā  They saw it as a form of divine population control.Ā  Reagan could have given a rats ass about usā€¦
Until the plague began to effect straight people. THEN his administration cared. Because the people that mattered were finally getting sick. And finally the millions of dollars in research money was poured into finding a treatment for HIV. But by then, so many LGBTQ individuals had died.Ā  More people died from the initial HIV epidemic than the Vietnam war.
So when straight people complain about being ā€˜oppressedā€™ and why there isnā€™t a straight pride parade? Go fuck yourself. No one has ever tried to wipe you out through a plague, ignored your cries for help as a disease wiped out massive amounts of your community.

I havenā€™t watched the documentary, but I did read the book

How to Survive a Plague. And I highly recommend that people read/watch it because it is very good/informational, as heartbreaking as it is.

 And to think, the world population in 1900
 was only 1.5 billion compared to today's 7.5
 billion
 I don't know what the world pop was like in
 1500 but 56 millions would've been a HUGE
 percentage of that.
 That astronomical number is definitely hard

 They wiped out TEN PERCENT of the world's

 That's the equivalent of 750 million ppl today.

Also that figure is way too low, modern population estimates might be as much as twice that. There were between 25 and 40 million in central Mexico alone, almost as many people in the North Amazon, almost as many in the Andes, and almost as many in the American South. All saw 80 to 99 percent population loss in the period of 2 to 3 generations. 
The Greater Mississippi River Basin had a population somewhere between 5 and 12 million, the Eastern Woodlands had about as many, about as many in the Central Amazon, and almost as many on the American West Coast and North West Coast respectively. All of which saw 85 to 99 percent population losses in 2 or three generations after the others.
Multiple factions if European interests killed all the natives they could and destroyed all the culture and history they could. They were not limited by gender, language, religion, culture, ethnic group, nationality, geography, or time period; just every single person they could. 
Thatā€™s not even genocide, itā€™s apocalypse.


Why are you all omitting the well known fact that it was not purposeful genocide but simply new microbes introduced that no one knew about at that time.


Cuz thatā€™s not true. 
Tw genocide, tw violence
When Columbus realized the pigs they brought were getting the Islanders sick he arranged to loose as many as possible ahead of them primarily into the Benne region, I believe. Cortez loaded sickened corpses into Tenochtitlanā€™s aqueducts, Spain deliberately targeted the priests of Mexican society first because they knew it would severely undermine the public ability to treat disease. When the post Incan city states developed a treatment for malaria, the Spanish deliberately targeted the cities producing the quinine treatment and made it illegal to sell it to non-christians. The Spanish took all the sick and forced them at sword-point to go back to their homes instead of to the sick houses or the temples throughout the new world, and forced anyone who wasnā€™t sick to work in the mines or the coin factories melting and pressing their cultural treasures down into Spanish coins. The English were just as bad, they started the smallpox blankets. A lot of the loss was not deliberate infections like this but it was preventable at a million different crossroads and every European culture took the opportunity to weaponize the plagues when they could. 
They knew what they were doing, just cuz they didnā€™t know what germs were doesnā€™t mean they have some accidental relationship with it. Alexander the great used biological warfare after all, so itā€™s not like you can pretend the concept was alien to them, they wrote about it.
Besides they did plenty of old fashioned killing too, there were Spanish conquistadors that estimated their own personal, individual killings might have numbered over the ten thousands. They were sure theyā€™d killed more than ten million in ā€œNew Spainā€ alone. They crucified people they smashed babies on the rocks, they set fire to buildings they forced women and children into and cooked their meals over the burning corpses, they loosed war dogs on people. They sold children into sex slavery to be raped by disease riddled pedos back in Europe and if taking their virginity didnā€™t cure the sick creeps the native children would be killed or sometimes sent back.
The English were just as bad, shooting children in front of their mothers and forcing them to mop their blood with their hair. Turning human scalps into currency. Feeding babies to dogs in front of their mothers and fathers. Killing whole villages and erasing them from their maps so that historians would think God had made it empty just for the English. 
The Americans after them burned crops and drove several species of bison to extinction just to starve the plains tribes. They pushed the blankets too. On top of the wars of extermination and scalp hunting and concentration and laws defining natives as non-persons so that weā€™d never be protected by the Constitution.
And even if you wanna live in some dreamy fairytale where God just made a whoopsie and then there were no natives left, nobody forced them to erase our history. The Spanish burned every document they found to erase the literacy and literary tradition of the Central and South Americans. There are essentially three Aztec documents left and some excavated pottery, and some archeological inscriptions and thatā€™s it. The single most advanced culture in math and anatomical medicine erased probably forever. Same to the Inca, the most advanced fiber and alloy engineers and economists gone forever. Nobody made them do that. Nobody forced the American colonizers to steal political technology and act like they invented democracy or sovereignty. Nobody forced them to build their cities on top of native ones and erase them from history forever. Baltimore was built on Chesapeake, which translates roughly to ā€œcity at the top of the great waterā€ in most Algonquin tongues. My favorite example is Cumberland in Western MD, they didnā€™t even reshape the roads or anything, they paved the steps and walking paths natives had used for hundreds of years and now itā€™s almost impossible to drive cuz the streets are too narrow or steep. The culture that built them didnā€™t have horses. Phoenix AZ, called Phoenix cuz the settlers literally found an old city and ā€œbrought it back to life.ā€ Did they save any history or cultural artifacts? No. Most cities on the east coast are like this. Nobody forced them to erase that history.
Colonizers are not innocent just cuz the germs did a lot of the work of the apocalypse.

 And to think, the world population in 1900
 was only 1.5 billion compared to today's 7.5
 billion
 I don't know what the world pop was like in
 1500 but 56 millions would've been a HUGE
 percentage of that.
 That astronomical number is definitely hard
 to process

 I just looked it up and the world pop in 1600
 was about 570 million.
 They wiped out TEN PERCENT of the world's
 population.
 That's the equivalent of 750 million ppl today.

Also that figure is way too low, modern population estimates might be as much as twice that. There were between 25 and 40 million in central Mexico alone, almost as many people in the North Amazon, almost as many in the Andes, and almost as many in the American South. All saw 80 to 99 percent population loss in the period of 2 to 3 generations. 
The Greater Mississippi River Basin had a population somewhere between 5 and 12 million, the Eastern Woodlands had about as many, about as many in the Central Amazon, and almost as many on the American West Coast and North West Coast respectively. All of which saw 85 to 99 percent population losses in 2 or three generations after the others.
Multiple factions if European interests killed all the natives they could and destroyed all the culture and history they could. They were not limited by gender, language, religion, culture, ethnic group, nationality, geography, or time period; just every single person they could. 
Thatā€™s not even genocide, itā€™s apocalypse.


Why are you all omitting the well known fact that it was not purposeful genocide but simply new microbes introduced that no one knew about at that time.


Cuz thatā€™s not true. 
Tw genocide, tw violence

I think I know why that is. Itā€™s because Wonder Woman is more fantasy-esque and Captain Marvel is a more harsh reality. 
Let me explain, Wonder Woman grew up in a paradise without men or sexism and just now entered the world of man and just now experienced sexism. Carol grew up in the world of man and grew up within this system. That and Wonder Woman takes place further in the past, making it easier to think ā€œwow, back then was awful but weā€™re way better nowā€ while several comic fans grew up in the 90ā€™s, making it feel not that long ago. 
While I love both films, I do feel like Captain Marvel took more risks than Wonder Woman in this sense and I applaud it for that.

Miss me with that nonsense. The Carol we see at the start of the film only remembers her life on a planet where men and women were equally trained combatants and as far as we can tell have the respect of their male peers. Yes she was technically born on earth but until the latter half of the film she doesnā€™t remember that part. Her personality is shaped by the world that she remembers. And how is it ā€œtaking risksā€ to have a character thatā€™s almost completely invulnerable and whose only ā€œflawā€ is not realizing how awesome she actually is, even though she was already practically all powerful? How is it taking risks to have a character who basically never learns or grows and is just already a badass who dispatches all enemies with little to no difficulty? 
Diana had to face defeat and the possibility that her simplistic belief in justice and the existence of war need to be re-examined. She had to work with others and listen to wisdom and advice in order to make informed decisions. She was powerful, but not invulnerable. She was relatable and likable. She didnā€™t go around being cold and rude to people for no damn reason and ooze pretension with every word she spoke.

Y'all really canā€™t distinguish fiction from reality huh? I call bullshit on ā€œwOrLd oF mEnā€ bullshit because CMā€™s writing was fucking trash. Literally every single fucking man she met besides Nick Fury and the Skrull guy was a complete misogynistic caricature, to the point that her FUCKING DADā€™S first reaction to her getting in a go-cart accident was not desperate fear/concern for his only daughter, but toā€¦immediately belittle her? No babe thatā€™s not reality, thatā€™s shit ass writers who have no sense of nuance and no sense of developing villains because ā€œUHHHHH HERO IS WOMAN AND MAN HATE WOMAN SO ALL MEN BADā€.Take another example, the boot camp scene where apparently like 8 white guys have nothing to do except stand around and taunt Carol? Except in real life boot camp no one has fucking time to stand around, your ass is constantly being drilled and harassed by your drill instructor, and all of the recruits are being shaped into a unit to WORK TOGETHER, with everyone being treated equally harshly. (Also, Iā€™m supposed to believe that boot camp back in the 80ā€™s/90ā€™s was unisex?) If it was just Carol training on her own, that again begs the question of why an entire group of guys was just staring at her while she was training instead of I donā€™t knowā€¦ doing their own training? Relaxing on base during what little leisure time they had? But those questions donā€™t matter because the writers didnā€™t give a damn about reality. They only gave a fuck about pushing their bullshit man hating agenda, strawmanning all men, and creating a situation where Carol was nothing but a poor innocent victim of evil cruel men. They literally only existed to victimize Carol and make all of her behavior seem acceptable because ā€œthey were mean to her first, so if she decides to nearly break a manā€™s hand off and steal his motorcycle later, itā€™s okay!ā€ Thatā€™s not fucking realism, thatā€™s hack writing.Captain Marvel is bad, sheā€™s not even remarkable by the standards of female characters, and quite frankly itā€™s insulting that you ignore and downplay other, far more iconic and well-written female heroes just because Carol plays to your politics.
@waveringwannabevalkyrie ā€œworld of manā€ is a term used in the Wonder Woman comics several times to describe the world outside of themiscrya. Thatā€™s why I used it here. I would go over how abusive men do exist, just like abusive women do and how Iā€™ve had my own experiences with an abusive father but from your tone, I think if I explain anymore you would make fun of me or something with the whole ā€œaw you have daddy issues and thatā€™s why you like the movie lolā€. Iā€™m so hope youā€™re not that cruel but knowing the internet, you cannot be safe. I just hope youā€™re not like those kind of people that I met and are willing to at least understand that just because you donā€™t experience something doesnā€™t mean itā€™s the same for everyone else.@libertarirynn as someone whoā€™s seen the movie, I feel like the struggle was more than just ā€œnot knowing how awesome she was.ā€ She was being lied to about her entire life for six years and we even see her have a breakdown upon realizing this. We see her sobbing out in a field over finding all this out. The idea of finally being free from the control of others, whether male or female (people seem to forget that minn-erva was also a villain in the movie) in both a physical and emotional sense. Despite Carol having her memories wiped in the beginning, the audience gets flashes of the sexism she faced growing up. While I love both films, I will say that captain marvel spoke to me more than Wonder Woman because of my own personal experiences and if it didnā€™t do the same for you guys, thatā€™s fine. I just feel that the movie gets misrepresented or misinterpreted a lot and that it is unfair. It sucks that Wonder Woman is used to bash captain marvel despite the different approaches the movies take towards womenā€™s issues. In fact, that behavior has caused me to like Wonder Woman less and less and I really donā€™t want that to happen. Not only do I start to see the flaws in the film being put on a pedestal, I become more defensive of the one thatā€™s being misrepresented. I still love the Wonder Woman movie but the internet makes it hard to sometimes.I guess what Iā€™m saying isā€¦I wish fans wouldnā€™t use one to bash the other. I honestly wasnā€™t trying to bash Wonder Woman or use captain marvel to do so in my last reply.  I was just explaining how one is more successful since it tried to be more palatable while the other took more risks in being a feminist film. I hope you both can see that I am not looking for a fight and am just explaining myself. I hope this helped you understand where Iā€™m coming from and that instead of arguing or throwing insults like what usually happens online, this can be handled amicably.

Both are good movies.People who hate them or use one to trash the other are secist idiots. End of story

Or maybe they just have a different opinion and maybe you need to learn how to spell ā€œsexistā€ before calling anyone else an idiot.

And heck, even if your own death is inevitable getting information out could help save other people, even if it canā€™t save you.Ā ā€˜Here are 20 livestreams of the giant tentacle monster including how it moves and attacks, how can we beat it?ā€™ is way more useful thanĀ ā€˜an entire city got wiped off the map and things smell vaguely of calimari idk manā€™

reblogging for this perfection: ā€˜an entire city got wiped off the map and things smell vaguely of calimari idk manā€™Ā 

Point #1 on this here article talks about Robert Landsburg, a photographer who realized he wouldnā€™t survive the eruption of Mt St. Helens (too close to outrun the ash cloud) and used his own body to shield  preserve the photos and recordings heā€™d been taking during the explosion
these surviving photographs are still CRAZY VALUABLE to this day for the rest of the volcanologist community, since actual recordings of an in-process eruption are so dang rare
on-site documentation of any major disaster is gonna be VITALLY IMPORTANT to the people who are tryna figure out how to prevent that shit
tl;dr have your phone out, make your death-by-kaiju worthwhile to the scientific community
