Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Neutered justice doesn't give out the same high as reckless vengeance.
It's like "yay, we punished the billionaires by taking away their unreasonably hoarded wealth and are going to responsibly redistribute it to the programs that need it most. Though the difficulty of equity and logistics are going to be a pain on the ass to whoever has to deal with it, we are happy knowing it's the right thing to do." Vs "yay, we shot the billionaires so let's get drunk and par-tay! And if tomorrow sucks, we'll shot it too! Fk yeah!"
In-the-moment has a higher priority than long-term hardwork and dedication because it's actual, tangible rewards vs potential, imaginary rewards.
