the differences in peoples lifespans in breath of the wild is so funny. you will meet the rito and they will say something like “long ago… there was a hero.. the appointed knight of princess zelda… but oh that legend is all but lost to time.. but perhaps. perhaps you are a descendant of that legendary hero..” and then you will meet a zora and theyll be like “oh hey link havent seen you in a while whats up”
It’s even funner when you realise the reason Zoras suddenly acquired multi-century lifespans in Breath of the Wild is purely because Nintendo wanted to do a traditional high fantasy setting, so naturally they needed a High Elf analogue. They looked at the list of standard High Elf tropes, saw “dwells high in the mountains in soaring towers of silver and starlight”, went “right, got it”, and picked an aquatic species.
Would people be interested in a “what even is anthropology” post. I’m always hesitant to make posts like that because I don’t want to come off as like condescending, explaining things that people already know as if it’s brand new information.

I just don’t understand why Mattel would release a movie promoting their product and then NOT RELEASE PRODUCTS FROM THAT MOVIE. Everyone is trying to cash in on the success of the movie, even our local coffee shop had a Barbie latte. And from Mattel we get maybe one standard issue ken and margot robbie barbie. That’s it?? Where’s jumpsuit barbie? Where’s the merman? Where’s trash collector barbie? WHERE THE FUCK IS ALLAN

“The Federal Trade Commission today proposed a “click to cancel” provision requiring sellers to make it as easy for consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to sign up. That is just one of several significant updates the Commission is proposing to its rules regarding subscriptions and recurring payments. The new click to cancel provision, along with other proposals, would go a long way to rescuing consumers from seemingly never-ending struggles to cancel unwanted subscription payment plans for everything from cosmetics to newspapers to gym memberships.”
If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.
