The salarians in ME3 seem really focused on the world post-Reaper War. They’re really thinking long term, while everyone else is more or less saying “who cares if it goes downhill in a few centuries? let’s solve our bigger problem now!”
I suppose the salarians are so scared of what the krogan could do, it makes sense that they wouldn’t have this “yolo” attitude. It’s just interesting because they have such a short lifespan. You would think krogan and asari would think more like this.

I think the salarians being aware of krogan repercussions later on, makes sense, but I also wonder if their attitude is because their lifespans are so naturally short? Species like the asari and krogan are used to having time, & the threat of the reapers completely rattles that up for them. Salarians on the other hand are probably already pretty used to planning things out across generations & are probably pretty meticulous about it, they’d have to be to ensure things are actually carried out properly. I want to say it was Cora? Who said something along the lines of an asari planting the seeds for something and not seeing results until she was a matriarch a few centuries later, and then all of the sudden it’s a very real possibility that they may not have those centuries to wait.  

Yeah, agreed. I think the salarians are actually more likely to plan out for generations than krogan or asari–culturally they had to do that to play ball with the asari, who hold the real galactic power. To have any hope of not being steamrollered, salarians would have to plan out for *twenty five* lifetimes to an asari’s single life. The asari have the luxury of direct experience and learning, and an individual can draw on that to respond to whatever circumstances they find themselves in. Salarians have to raise a whole new generation every couple decades and teach them how to be people before they can join in. They have to pass everything down in a game of telephone and trust that future generations will follow through, see the pattern, and agree and continue the plan they have to the end game. None of that is guaranteed.

you know what i don’t see enough of? circus kid dick grayson critiquing the joker because he’s a bad clown. not like, bad, and also a clown. but bad at being a clown. i want to see dick grayson taking the existence of this horrible clown very personally as a matter of professional pride. he has known clowns, and you, sir, are no clown. the joker is an insult to the legacy of emmett kelly and this shall not stand.

Joker: I’m gonna end you.

Dick: Bitch you can’t even make a balloon animal shut the fuck up.

Oh they’re going to need salvation.

Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.

This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.

Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them. 

It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.

Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.

“

In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man.

hey since that season is coming up again!

Don’t abuse the bell ringers unless they get aggressive, but don’t give them a bent penny.
