Yup, this thing was part of the "Singing Revolution", a series of protests and festivals where people would sing folk songs to push against the russification of their countries. In other words, these guys defeated the USSR by singing songs and holding hands. Mad respect.

What's this about basic hygiene? I don't follow the latest internet news because I don't want to lose my mind yet but I'm curious about this one.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements , could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But I believe Aang can save the world.

I pretty much agree with everything you wrote. Renewable energy became a big hit but it's debatable whether it's even able to produce enough to cover the manufacturing and maintenance costs (I'm talking both monetary and environmental – the metals don't mine themselves). Greenwashing has infiltrated many industries, from energy and transportation (*cough* Tesla *cough*) to cosmetics and fashion, but upon deeper investigations a lot of those business aren't very green at all.
I also agree that nuclear seems like the best option right now. That said, don't you think that solar or wind can, with more research and technological advancement, become viable? I don't have the education and experience you do so I'm just wondering. A 100 years ago it seemed utterly impossible that we could create a powerful computer that would fit in our hand, but we did, and the progress was rapid. Can there even be such a leap in this field?

I'm wondering about the context here because the quote seems both really obvious and vague enough to interpret almost anything from it. We talking media figures, politicians, social media, or just irl arseholes in general?

Cuts can be changed to better fit men. 70 years ago it was weird for a woman to wear pants but now "masculine" fashion for women is trendy. From a purely practical perspective, it can be done and it won't even be that hard.
Men's fashion is kinda boring nowadays imo, but if people want to change it we don't have to *necessarily* go right towards women's fashion per se. I'm talking badass capes and cloaks, togas or toga-adjacent things, tailored vests and jackets, scarves, patterns, mixing of materials, jewelry etc. All of those things have historical precedent for men. What constitutes as masculine clothing is really narrow nowadays because anything even slightly extravagant is considered queer or feminine. Guys don't have to jump straight into ball gowns (but if they want to, why not?) but can expand their style little by little. If they want to. If not, that's fine too. It's just clothing, it means as much or as little as you want it to.

I'm like totally nitpicking right now but since Oedipus = motherfucker, then motherfucking (like in the example sentence) would technically translate as Oedipian, wouldn't it?
All in all it just doesn't roll off the tongue so well hahaha
Edit: Also I just noticed the poster's username. The Supernatural fandom is still strong on Tumblr, I see! Heaven's most adorable angel lol

That's actually kinda the point, in the book Victor Frankenstein studies the writings of alchemists like Agrippa or Flamel instead of his contemporary (ie. 18th century) science. Everyone tells him those writings are outdated but he's fascinated by them and their quest to unlock the secrets of life, and thus creates the Creature. He gives him beautiful features, but as soon as the Creature opens his eyes, Victor becomes disgusted and afraid because, well, he looks like a living corpse. The story is tragic and beautiful and not at all like our pop culture understanding of Frankenstein.
