sixpenceee went from kind of annoying scammer/art thief to COMPLICIT IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING in 24 hours lmao what’s up Internet
Wait last I heard we were still on phase: scam depressed teenagers, what the hell happened after that?
She’s admitted her parents had child slaves back in Bangladesh and said it wasn’t slavery cuz they get food and a roof and basically that it’s normal for wealthier families to have “child workers” from poorer parts.
That’s literally slavery though. At the very least it’s indentured servitude. Or… Slavery with a contract.
“Rick that just sounds like slavery with extra steps”
she said it was a fairly normal cultural practice in Bangladesh, not that she considered it a normal thing to do. she, in fact, said she was wholeheartedly against the practice but since she doesn’t even live in Bangladesh and was only visiting her parents, she has no ability to change the situation for the kid living with them. last i heard, she was trying to call attention to the practice overall so it could be opposed on a grander scale.
i don’t see how it’s “complicit in human trafficking” to say “my parents are part of a cultural practice in Bangladesh that I find objectionable, but cannot stop due to it being normalized here. I can at least try to draw attention to the fact that this is happening with my large internet audience”
what exactly is she supposed to do?

inspired by a conversation with my friend Rosemary, here are some handy snacts for you to print out and carry with you at all times
one of the greatest coups in capitalism was getting workers mad at other workers for “taking their jobs” instead of workers being mad at their boss for thinking so little of them as to replace them to save a dollar an hour that goes directly into the boss’ pocket anyways
my friend drunkenly watched a TED talk last night was like “this stand up is terrible what the fuck”

I like those times where Hannibal isn’t murdering or eating anybody but is still a dick
did no one ever really look at saren. Like actually look at him. They acted like he looked normal. A normal turian. “The weird tubes in his face and glowing robot eyes are nothing to suggest that he might have allied himself with a race of giant robot overlords, thats ridiculous shepard why did we even make you a spectre.”
this is one of the funniest things in the game. apparently they had a “normal” skin for saren they were going to use for all these scenes, but they either screwed it up or ran out of time and applied the endgame skin right from the start. so we get robo-saren from day one and a weird moment late in the game where we’re meant to be like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SAREN only he looks just as ridiculous as he did through the entire game. amazing.
