you know, taking into account that Okoye calls guns ‘primitive’ and how vibranium is totally bulletproof, I think we can safely assume guns are seen as pretty regressive in Wakanda

but in Infinity War Bucko shows up with not only a shiny new arm, but a brand new gun

which means Shuri was, at some point, probably pulling her hair out in frustrating kver the fact that of all the fucked up white men on the world she could get stuck equipping, it’s one whose gimmick is the single most boring type of weapon on earth, she could have been designing vibranium arrows but NO, the man’s one hundred years old and he wants a GUN

I feel like one of the biggest misconceptions out there is that all fanfic is written by 12 and 13 year olds

Like the other day I read a fanfic where Jason Todd is remodeling his kitchen and is concerned about wooden countertops because what if you get raw chicken on your wooden countertop?

You think a 13 year old thinks about countertops? Think again my friend that fic was written by an Adult

Jury nullification. Pass it on.

Jury nullification is so fucking important.

This is something that more people should be aware of, if only because (in many states, at least) defense attorneys are actually prohibited from mentioning it to jurors. The law allows a jury to return a “not guilty” verdict contrary to the facts of the case, but not for the defense to inform them of that power or to argue for its application in the current trial.

I didn’t know about this. Wow.

always reblog

This is SUPER IMPORTANT and also a good reason to show up for jury duty. You know all those laws you think are stupid? This is your chance to maybe do something about it. 

I…. I thought this was common knowledge… signal boosting this because it obviously isn’t!

Did not know this

Jury nullification in the United States has its origins in colonial British America. Similar to British law, in the United States jury nullification occurs when a jury in a criminal case reaches a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence, sometimes because of a disagreement with the relevant law.

what she says: I’m fine

what she means: Gabriella opens her mouth at the start of breaking free to sing and can’t because of stage fright. But then the first line of the song is sung by Troy?? Was she meant to start it instead? Did he take her lines because she was nervous? Did they sing the whole song singing the wrong parts? Was that not really difficult and confusing to do? Do they switch back at any point? When? Or was there maybe a whole line at the start of the song that Gabriella was meant to sing that we never heard???? Did something come before we’re soaring, flying??? What are we missing out on? Will we ever know???
