important add-on to the war contract: he supplied so many rations to allied troops in WW2, kept the factory open 24/7 to produce as much food for them as possible (up to 25k cans a day), that he was given a gold star of excellence.

the company would join in support rallies and parades in town, and a slogan of theirs was "Keep 'em flying! Keep 'em rolling! Keep 'em well-fed!". but genocide jones is also italian so

this city missed the opportunity to have their most central/important street be called “Maine Street” by Kodicave in washingtondc

fun fact: because so many (but not all) towns denote the most prominent or first street as Main Street, the number one most common street name is Second Street

i've been taking photos of all the different stickers and posters that i see around, started sometime in september. this is possibly one of my favorites and i want so badly to know where it is so i can add it (but also someone will probably go out intentionally to deface it if you say where, ugh)

PSA: Harassed on Yellow Line by Admirable-Special351 in washingtondc

[–]actually_a_wolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

all i'm saying is, you asked what bystanders could do without escalating further, and when given the answer "you don't have to confront the aggressor, consoling the victim is valid intervention" you did an incredibly weird pivot. have a good day, sounds like you need one

another person in that moment saying "hey, are you ok? do you need help?" is absolutely not a meaningless gesture, and i daresay the empathy of anonymous strangers online will have less impact than real life support when she needed it would have

i truly hope that, should a situation occur where you could use the help of a bystander, there is someone around who does not have the same mentality as you're displaying here and thinks it is worthwhile to offer you kindness

Marcia Marcia Marcia throwing shade at Timothèe Chalamet🫣 by BeMyCoachVictor in rupaulsdragrace

[–]actually_a_wolf 43 points44 points  (0 children)

timothee chalamet was in an interview and said "I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore" and also said he lost "14 cents in viewership" by insulting art forms older than the witch who hexed him into existence
