In 2009, Ocelot officially endorsed the S3 Plan, which included the Patriots threatening the life of Olga Gurlukovich’s daughter, Sunny, to force her participation. Ocelot himself was placed in a similar position to Sunny approximately 47 years prior, with his mother (The Boss) being forced to carry out a mission on the orders of the Philosophers.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Time to Change The Disc!
Otacon: Hold it Snake. Time to change the disc. I know, I know ... it's a pain. But you need to swap disc 1 for disc 2. You see the disc labeled "2"?
Snake: Uhh...no.
Otacon: Huh? ... Oh wait! We're on PlayStation 3! It's a Blu-ray disc. Dual-layered too - no need to swap.
Snake: Damn it, Otacon, get a grip!
Otacon: Yeah, what an age we live in, huh, Snake? Wonder what they'll think of next!

Metal Gear Solid 2: TURN OFF THE CONSOLE!
Colonel: Raiden, turn the game console off right now!
Raiden: What did you say?
Colonel: The mission is a failure! Cut the power right now!
Raiden: What's wrong with you?
Colonel: Don't worry, it's a game! It's a game just like usual.
Rosemary: You'll ruin your eyes sitting so close to the TV.
Raiden: What are you talking about!?

“Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their...”
– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe)
The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.
Did I mention this was written over a hundred years...

Metal Gear Solid 4: A Rational Conversation (pun...
Rosemary: What's up, Snake?
Snake: Got an update for me?
Rosemary: There doesn't seem to be any problem with your Psyche. So far so good. Proceed with the mission.
Snake: Got it.
Campbell: Speaking of food, Snake...
Snake: Colonel? We're in the middle of something here.
Campbell: Have you ever eaten rations from a country other than the US?
Snake: Of course I have.
Campbell: The UN recently held a ration swap meet between military attaches from each member state. It was a momentous development in the cultivation of mutual understanding of other countries' cuisines.
Rosemary: Roy, this isn't really the time...
Campbell: On the contrary. I want you to hear this too, Rose.
Rosemary: I've already heard it a hundred--
Campbell: You'll survive. Anyway, Snake, I did a taste test and found that French rations were generally the best. The Italians' weren't bad, either. And the Japanese stuff was much better than I expected.
Snake: Really. That's wonderful.
Campbell: But everyone seemed to agree that the worst rations of all were ours. America for the win.
Snake: All right... So what's your point?
Campbell: Yep, it must be nice to live in a country that knows how to cook. Those French rations... Delicieux! I wish you would have been there to try some, Snake. And, you too, Rose.
Snake: Colonel, what exactly are you...?
Campbell: Some of the best food I'd ever tasted, Rose.
Rosemary: I'm sorry, Snake. Ever since he went to that swap meet, it's all he can talk about. You'd think he'd never had a decent meal in his life.
Snake: No kidding. Wait a minute. Rose, who does the cooking at your house?
Rosemary: Me. Roy doesn't... What are you getting at?
Snake: Nothing, nevermind. Colonel?
Campbell: Mmm?
Snake: My sympathies.
Campbell: It's appreciated, Snake.
Rosemary: I actually like those American rations!

Metal Gear Solid 2: Cigarettes Conversation
Otacon: Snake, are you smoking? You really should quit. First of all, it turns you into an instant target in the dark. As for what it means to your health, I won't even go there. Remember what Naomi said about lung cancer rates? Everyone knows that it's a dangerous substance.
Snake: So's war, and I've done that all my life.
Otacon: Well, you can screw up your own body if you like, but think about other people, okay?
Snake: This is the new kind that has almost no second-hand smoke. It won't bother anyone.
Otacon: Oh really? Didn't I see you toss the butt off the bridge? Littering, polluting...
Snake: Ummm...
Otacon: You have a long way to go, my friend.

It was 1963, and 16-year-old Bruce McAllister was sick of symbol-hunting in English class. Rather than quarrel with his teacher, he went straight to the source: McAllister mailed a crude, four-question survey to 150 novelists, asking if they intentionally planted symbolism in their work. Seventy-five authors responded. Here’s...

How to find textbooks online for free: a post.
obsessionfull:
Textbooks are fucking expensive, and if your professor doesn’t require a physical copy (most don’t - they just want you to have the book at hand. Or maybe even not. Some professors literally give no fucks about whether you have the book or not) and you don’t mind having your copy as an electronic copy - this is the post for you!
Most textbook companies put out new editions every...
