And don’t think your situation is going to be “so sad that it’ll pull on their heartstrings” and make some insurance company do the right thing.
Unfortunately they’ve heard it all before. They’re desensitized and it’s just going to sound like whining. Maybe, just maybe, people in the US shouldn’t NEED to rely on their heartstrings to get medical care.
most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he’s actually extremely ethical about it
He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system
meaning he doesn’t put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes
they’re also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they’ll do nudity or something like that in an episode
it’s like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.
the contestants know what they’re getting into, and they’re full down
imagine you’re some guy and you’re going through the woods one day and you stumble upon a house and the people who live there just give you free food and eventually let you inside and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before and the people are so nice and loving towards you and then one day they decide to never let you leave again, steal your balls, and give you a stupid fucking hair cut
Fun fact! We don’t actually know that’s what the Pacific ocean looks like because we can’t get imaging deep enough to actually check. This model is simply assuming the ocean floor is there due to projections based on the bits we can get to. And I think that’s fun.
We’ve known what the floor of the pacific looks like for decades.
This is from a nat geo in 1969. We’ve done sonar imaging of the two deepest points in the Marianas Trench and sent multiple exploration vehicles into the trench. James Cameron has sent exploration vehicles into the marianas trench ffs. If we can explore the deepest trench in the pacific then we can get imaging of the rest of it.
Y’all really just get on tumblr dot com see a post and go “I think I will lie today.” don’t ya.
ALSO
The original image?
That’s now what the Earth would look like without water.
That map up there has extreme vertical exaggeration added to it.
Now look at this diagram:
You see this? You see how smooth it is? You see how you can barely even see the continents?
Continental crust is upwards of 40km thick. You see the upper mantle/aesthenosphere? That’s 660km. You think 40km is gonna look like ANYTHING compared to that?
It doesn’t.
Yeah. The Earth is fucking big and continents and mountains are piddly and small compared to the diameter of the Earth.
hey since it’s coming up again: no it’s not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with “good riddance” or “hurry up I hate that app”. I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don’t like the UI or booktok or having to say “unalive” or how you think it’s killing the very notion of attention spans. It’s still bad. It’s bad.
My brother refuses to get Tumblr, which is a tragedy because this is the complete fucking nonsense they have sent me today alone, and I think Tumblr would appreciate them more than I do.
Well, I hope you’re happy. The worst I can be is a disappointment, the best I can be is your problem now.
How it started
How it’s going:
THEY’RE YOUR BROTHER??!!!?!!????!!!!!!
Yes, and I cannot tell you how glad I am that they didn’t just send me that question at 8am like they would have pre-Tumblr. I used to wake up to this bullshit every day.
THIS IS WHY CLOWN MAGIC IS REAL MAGIC AND SHOULD BE TAUGHT AT THE WIZARD COLLEGES LIKE EVERY OTHER CLASS INCLUDING NECROMANCY @wizard-council-bureaucrat
WE ARE NOT LETTING THE CLOWNS INTO THE WIZARD COLLEGES. DO YOU WANT THEM CROSS-TRAINING IN NECROMANCY? AGAIN?
Still in awe of how well the D&D movie mimicked the feeling of D&D without doing anything as tediously literal as a “sitting around the table” framing device. The way some characters have names that sound like names a DM improvised on the spot, the sudden appearance and disappearance of a overpowered DM NPC for a single dungeon, the way they used the fact that characters can plausibly just mess up for no clear reason to escalate action scenes…that was cinema
my personal headcanon about Honor Among Thieves is that Xenk isn’t actually a DM NPC, but a temporary party member played by the same person who played Sofina in the flashback party! He’s super cool and overpowered because they only had a few weeks off work that they could play and the DM wanted them to be able to do cool stuff.
me trying to convince myself that the whole spectrum of human emotions is a good and necessary thing to feel even if its not comfortable while im actively experiencing emotions that make me feel like my bones are being dissolved in acid
