I do my best to be considerate on the internet, and respect others, however I will occasionally get things wrong, so please help to explain the problem if that does happen :)
Oh, also I usually type without capitalising and use emoticons [:), :3, :>] to sound more casual, because I can't read emotions in text online very well, so I try to make it clear to others that I'm being friendly. If that doesn't float your boat, that's ok!
If I had capital-s Superpowers I wouldn't use them to punch alien gods, I'd use them to become a science youtuber.
"Hi guys, welcome back to the channel, I've got a real treat for you today! You might notice the lab looks different, I didn't want to risk putting anyone else in danger with today's experiment and if you've been reading the news this week you'll know that a bunch of big important people on Earth are pretty mad at me right now, so I'm shooting this episode on the moon!
"This is uranium-238, an extremely rarified form of the uranium used in some nuclear reactors. If I get the camera closer, you see that 'snow' appearing in the image? That's caused by individual radioactive ions escaping from the uranium. It's warm to the touch and very pliable. See how easily it's bending? Compare that to how much force I had to use to flatten out that tungsten cube last week, remember how that took both hands?
"Anyway, I know what you're going to ask,"
*voice clip of Snake from metal gear solid saying 'But how does it taste?'*
"Well, we're going to find out! I'm just going to tear off a tiny bit here... Hmm. The taste and texture is similar to lead, but warm and a little fizzy. That would be from those escaping ions hitting the skin cells of my tongue and bouncing off. I'd better spit this out quickly, if one of those bounces back into the uranium it could-
*a loud but muffled explosion sound is heard*
"Okay, so that was what's called a fission reaction! A little nuclear explosion went off in my mouth! That was certainly a new experience, I don't think I want to do that again. It wasn't nearly as much fun as the lava I ate back in the Hawaii video.
"Well, I'm going end this one here and get all these things ready for the next part of their journey. Stay tuned for part 2, where we see what happens when I throw the world's entire nuclear arsenal into the sun! As always, stay safe, stay curious, and have a Super day!"
i’ve done this so much that birds are literally synonymous in my head to dinosaurs. i look at a pigeon and i no longer think bird i just think dinosaur
If you’re wondering, nope, I didn’t upload the wrong image. I did finish the Corythosaurus but was incredibly incredibly unhappy with the result, but I loved the sketch, so I’m just posting that.
Gen Z teen, to herself: ugh god im such a weirdo and a freak and I dont understand any of these social rules everyone in here is talking about me and thinks im a weirdo :( I’m going to mess up my whole order and the barista will think I’m an idiot and I’ll be so embarrassed.
Gen Z teen, ordering at Starbucks: Hi, could I get a grande pink drink please? Thank you.
Boomer man, to himself: God I’m such a normal regular yet awesome guy. :)
Boomer man ordering at Starbucks: Hey, ehhh this one’s for the WIFE, y’know, she’s got some crazy thing she told me to say, heh I don’t know any of this stuff. Something called a White. Chocolate. Mocha. And, oh, she’s not done! Haha, this is a crazy one! She says Venti. with an Extra. Shot? And Cold. Foam. Sure hope you know what that is because I sure don’t! Ha ha! And for me, well, I’ll just have a nice normal regular ordinary everyday BLACK coffee. That’s the kind of guy I am!
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder:
Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
Me: Fuck, the paper towels I want are on the top shelf.
The Sir David Attenborough That Lives In My Brain: Being smaller-than-average presents an added challenge to foraging ... but necessity is the mother of invention. A little creativity turns a baguette into a tool, and voilà--
Yea, you had changelings and demonic possession and “brats” and “back talk”, and kids that were “not all there”, your aunt who’s “crazy”, and your second cousin no one ever talks about cuz he’s “special”, and if you’re fucking lucky, your elder uncle who lives a nice quiet life with his 70 lego sets and writes grocery stores about changing the light bulbs cuz they’re too harsh.
been a fan long enough to remember you getting out of florida - are there any things you've missed about it? i'm coming to terms with the fact that i'll be leaving in the not too distant future and there's a lot i love about florida and will be sad to leave behind
my family is still in florida! i miss being able to see them more often, for sure. i love my mom and my sisters so much and we still talk but its so hard to get together with everyone so busy all the time and now so far away. but personally other than that.... i essentially hated where i grew up lmao. i dont miss a single thing about the actual environment. it used to be that i could at least say "i miss whataburger" but not even that applies anymore cause they built some in georgia. so fuck that place LOL
edit: okay sorry i got too caught up in my own opinions to say its totally understandable to have a lot of love for where you grew up tho! im sorry that its more of a bitter taste for you, and i wish i could relate more so id have more useful advice, but i promise youll find your way and im sure youll find many things to love about where you end up!
