Three more weird-ass dreams I had.

1: The shipwreck of an ancient aircraft carrier appeared in the middle of a massive urban city, and myself and my brother, went to inspect the ship, after entering from below, we fought our way through glitchy robots, traps, and rooms filled with water, until we came to a room at the very top of the ship which was made from some stark white material that was magically devoid of any damage... It turned out that the room magically provided for all your needs, and you could live inside that room until you died of old age, and someone needed to enter that room and never come out, otherwise, the world would end, so my brother entered the magical white room and the aircraft carrier magically teleported away, in the process, saving the world from destruction, until my brother one day dies, and the ship appears again, repeating the process... 

2: I was living inside a city made from scrap metal, at the center was a castle made from solid gold, and the city was built right in the middle of a swamp... People born in the city were in debt from birth, as it cost 5000 gold coins for the child to be allowed to live, 10000 gold for the child to be allowed to have their own name and not a random number, and 20000 for the parents to be allowed to keep the child, if not, the child would be taken into the care of the king, plus, the cost of housing and food and water was absurdly expensive... The king lived in the golden castle and was a powerful fire wizard, I snuck in one day and told him that his economy was flawed and that he should lower his prices, instead, the wizard threatened to have me killed... So, the next day, there was a massive party in the castle, and I broke in, killed one of the king's advisors and the king's daughter, but was blown up by the king's fire magic... But, thanks to my death, I started a revolution, in which the revolutionaries found five pieces of an ancient suit of armor that magically came to life and started fighting for them, and they found ten magical candles that were the source of the king's fire magic, and thus the revolutionaries ended up winning. 

3: Saruman, after the end of the Lord of the Rings, ended up wandering up into a magical mountain range, in which he found a magical castle made entirely from ice, which he claimed as his own, but then Santa Claus broke in and had a wizard duel with Saruman, which Santa won, and later that day, Frodo and Harry Potter, on a magical quest, ended up passing by Santa's ice castle, where they received magical tools to aid them on their quest.

Also, just kinda randomly, I remember having a dream last night which was a crossover between Phineas and Ferb with Fallout... All I can remember was Phineas and Ferb were working for the Enclave, and Baljeet was hunting down a supermutant that had killed his parents and wrecked his village.

[anotherdamnfurry]

I had a thought.

Alright, so, everyone harps on about saving the trees, because without them the we'll all die because we'll have no way of turning carbon dioxide into oxygen... Well, that's completely false... Grass is more efficient than tress and producing oxygen, algae is more efficient than grass, and phytoplankton are more efficient than algae, plus, phytoplankton can live in the ocean, and there's a lot more ocean than there is land... What most environmentalists should be more concerned about than deforestation is global warming, but, as opposed to what many believe, CO2 isn't the main cause of global warming, sure, burning petroleum and coal is bad (mostly because of the sulfur in them, not the CO2), but methane is a lot worse than CO2 because it cannot be metabolized by plants, and it's way worse at causing global warming... So... What to do about methane? Well, methane is mostly produced by factory-farms, where the animals produce methane when digesting their food and burp, fart, or otherwise expel the gas, not to mention their waste continues to rot and produce a lot more methane... Some would suggest getting rid of factory farming, but humans need meat, and we're struggling to feed the entire human race now, and our population continues to rise (mostly the feeding problem is one of logistics and politics, not production, but that doesn't matter right now)... We need those farms for meat... But, I came up with a way they could be even more useful... We could seal the farm, make it entirely air-tight, use one-way vents to pump fresh air in from outside, and then use air filters to get rid of stale air, while separating out the methane in the farm's artificial atmosphere, then pumping that methane into a series of compressors and coolers to turn it into a liquid where it can be stored in tanks and then sold as an alternative to Propane, as methane is equally flammable and an equally good fuel-source... Excess methane can be burned in a flare stack. Burning methane produces CO2, which, as I said, is a lot easier to manage and less dangerous than methane.

I finished reading LOTR, and now I’m starting on Harry Potter, catching up on all the books I missed reading as a kid... I know that Rowling is super transphobic, so, just to spite her while reading it, I’m going to pretend Harry is a transgirl.

You know, random thought... But, screw Game of Thrones (aka the War of the Roses), I want a badass fantasy story inspired by the Sengoku Jidai, one of the longest conflicts in human history, sure the "Hundred Years War" claimed to have been a century long, but it was more like the Cold War, a dozen small conflicts all lumped together, but the Sengoku Jidai was a full century long of continuous conflict, it's amazing the Japanese managed to avoid self-inflicted genocide in a hundred-year-long civil war. Plus it's the era in which muskets were introduced into Japan, and the whole event had a ton of sociopolitical implications that drastically changed the nation, including being one of the causes for Japan's isolationism that kept them a feudal nation into the 1800s, and starting the decline of Japan's semi-caste system and starting the downfall of the Samurai as a ruling class. A lot more interesting than the War of the Roses.

THE ELMO MEME IS A REALITY IN MY COUNTRY

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

My country (Perú) is in danger, our democracy is in grave danger, our last president was ousted for allegations of corruption and while we agree that he should be investigated, we were against the vacancy.

The congress is hiding behind our constitution to make it seem that what they did was legal. They ousted the president for ‘moral incapacity’, the problem is that nothing was proved so it shouldn’t be possible, not only that, but last month they tried to do the same.

Before they voted for the vacancy, there were only 60 congressmen in favor but suddenly there were 105 who voted on favor, now they’re starting to talk, there were deals made and also threats against some of them, telling them that there wouldn’t be votes in favor their projects if they didn’t vote like them.

Our new “president”, who from now on I will call the usurper, was also the president of the congress who tried before to get the armed forces on his side, doesn’t have studies, and has open processes against him. He was not chosen by us to lead the country, only 5,000 people voted for him on the congress elections, the peruvian population is of 30 millions

Not only that, but 68 out of 130 congressmen have open processes that go from money laundering to straight up murder. The new president of the congress has 52 criminal charges.

This exactly is why the congress ousted our last president, he was doing reforms to the congress so there wouldn’t be impunity, he also called for elections on April.

We’re only 5 months away from the elections.

The congress talks that they did what they did because it was their moral obligation. We know this isn’t true, they did it because the president was against their populist laws that in the end would only damage the population and now that he’s out, they can do it freely.

In the 3 days since they ousted our president, they already are trying to modify the university education reform and the SUNEDU an institution that makes sure that our education is of quality and has been closing universities that didn’t make the cut, most of them were just taking money from their students or were just money laundering, two of this “universities” are owned by two congressmen.

Other thing that one party wants to do is to free their leader Antauro Humala from prison. This man was the brother of a former president who didn’t pardon him in his term and has tried to get free for years now, but our justice system and our national assembly has not let him. Why is he dangerous? Well he’s been sentences for insurrection, homicide, aggravated kidnapping, and other including a case called ‘Andahuaylazo’ where 4 policemen were killed. And since his party voted for the ousting, they are going to ask the usurper for a pardon.

The usurper has now elected his cabinet, the premier is a man who has called our people vicuñas and llamas, has said that femicides shouldn’t be apart from a homicide because it usually happens when they are trying to mug them or it’s their fault for cheating, he also has conflict of interests. He was a minister before, but he had to step down because of a conflict he was involve in enden up with the death of 24 indigenous people.

This brings us to yesterday 12/11/2020 (11/12/2020 for you USA). MILLIONS of peruvians took the streets in different parts of the country and in other countries too, we did this since day 1 but the one from yesterday was massive.  

It was a pacific protest, we were chanting and protesting against the usurper and the congress, nobody was violent until the police started attacking us.

There are more photos and videos but some of them are too strong, the police not only repressed us, they attacked journalists and paramedics, they didn’t let the firemen help our the wounded 

There were undercover cops trying to stir the protestors but got mad when we realized who they were so they shot us.

Let me make this very clear

THEY

SHOT US

Not with rubber bullets, with actual bullets

A post shared by No es así (@inoesasi)

And now the minister of the interios, who leads our police, is saying that there were not undercover cops, that they didn’t attack us, that they didn’t use tear gas against us and our media is talking about the damage we’ve done to our city WHILE THERE’S A GUY IN COMA BECAUSE THE POLICE SHOT HIM IN THE ABDOMEN TWO OR THREE TIMES, THEY SHOY PEOPLE POINT BLACK, WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHERE SOME PEOPLE IS, THEY DISAPPEARED.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Share this, and share the different posts in the Peru tag, let us be heard, we need the eyes of the world on us, we need people to know that our democracy is in danger, we need you to look at us and let the usurper and the congress know that we’re not alone and that everything they do is being monitored by the international community, let them know that they don’t have power over us.

Here’s a carrd (here’s another) that explains some things, I’m sure I’m missing a lot of things so fellow peruavians please add to this post.

[snazzy-sausage-dog-deactivated2]

A summary and background, if it helps;

The democratically elected president, Vizcarra, was accused of “moral incapacity” relating to alleged bribes. He was impeached on Mon 9 Nov 2020

Nearly every ex-president has been implicated in the Odebrecht (construction company) corruption charges of 2018. It’s huge scandal across multiple countries, check it out on Wikipedia

Even if the charges against Vizcarra were true, they are not the true motivation for impeaching him; people realise this and are protesting for democracy, not because they think Vizcarra is amazing

There are right-wing parties with links to Odebrecht corruption and the nationalist coup of 2005 who have been trying to get into power. The current president, Merino, is from this background. He also has military links, which is worrying

The supposedly left-wing party, UPP, was the main party promoting the impeachment. UPP was co-founded by a guy who was secretary-general of the United Nations. Its other co-founder, Vega, is the current leader, and the current party is basically top union bureaucracy merged with a nationalist party

The left coalition party, Frente Amplio, also supported the impeachment. These guys represent left reforms under capitalism, so sort of the equivalent of Greece’s Syriza party

One thing that OP left out is Peru’s incredibly high mortality rate. Official figures do not represent the full extent of the situation. It is therefore important to all parties that the public don’t get too angry and take matters into their own hands. People fear army intervention

Protests are taking place in Lima, but also across the country, especially in industrial cities, where mortality has been high and conditions bad

As OP said, 68 of the 130 politicians who voted to impeach Vizcarra have themselves been accused of corruption and are banned from running for office again!

The US State Department issued a statement, including, “As a region of democracy and prosperity, we call on Peruvians to continue to pursue their political ends via a peaceful, lawful, democratic process.” Hilariously, the US Secretary of State said, on the same day, that the US would have a “smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”

[chiaraav]

Totally forgot about the mortality rate, thank you!

It’s a shame that all I can do is reblog, but I feel the need to do something.

[anotherdamnfurry]

I had another *weird* dream... A new live-action version of a Dr. Seuss movie came out... It was some weird political-drama version of Horton Hears a Who... In which Horton was a normal human living on Earth, when he is suddenly transported to the Who planet and transforms into one... Then he takes on the role of a corporate manager, and slowly begins to subvert the Who's government with a complex web of threats, bribes, and blackmail, eventually assassinating the Who's leader and setting himself up as tyrant.

You know, for being a scientific organization, the SCP foundation really never does anything useful with the data they acquire... The whole purpose of the scientific method is to develop new technologies and methods of implementing existing technologies to improve the lives of sapient creatures. All those asses do is sit around with “Dangerous anomalies” and never do anything with them, like scientists are supposed to do. Seriously guys, get off your asses and do something useful with your time and resources!

Reblog if Fan Fics are just as valid as Fan Art

Affirmation for writers, please!!

Likes do nothing!!

LIKES DO NOTHING!!!!

Think I reblogged this before but it always needs said!

[detectivejigsawpines]

YES

Am I biased? Yes a bit. But it’s still true!

If Vampires are weak to sunlight, and sunlight is a composite of the visible spectrum, the UV spectrum, and the IR spectrum... I wonder if that means that they’re extra weak to gamma rays or radio waves?

[anotherdamnfurry]

Random thought: Vampires would be the ideal creatures to build an interstellar empire... They don't age, so generation-ships wouldn't be too problematic for them. They don't need to breathe, so they don't need to worry about recycling oxygen aboard their spacecraft. Temperature doesn't really effect them, although, I suspect that being frozen wouldn't be too comfortable, even if you don't need the heat to survive. All they need is blood, so I suspect they would keep human-cattle, or massive tanks of blood, aboard their spacecraft... Although, they could also just put themselves into their space-coffins and sleep until they're at their destination.

[anotherdamnfurry]

I’m rewatching all episodes of Adventure Time now that Distant Lands is coming out, and, in Season 5 Episode 51, we see the Candy Kingdom a thousand years in the future, and it looks like history repeats itself, and the Candy People end up falling to their own apocalypse... Which is... A little bleak, to be honest, you would think that a civilization born from the ashes of nuclear war would have prepared for such a thing, and from the looks of it, they became a very advanced people... Still... A bit too sad for my taste.

My favorite thing about Bugs Bunny is he subjects people who inconvenience him and people who outright try to murder him to the exact same level of malice

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

#i guess it's hard to distinguish between rudeness and murder attempts with you're an immortal trickster god who is only even slightly inconvenienced by either

[shippinggirl2424]

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses those tags make me think about Hannibal Lecter and now the cursed image of Bugs Bunny dining with Hanni dances behind my eyelids

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i know people say “who would win” as a joke but i am genuinely curious as to whether Bugs Bunny & Hannibal Lecter would be an equal match for each other

[anotherdamnfurry]

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses Bugs is a chaotic neutral bisexual twink, his energy is too strong.

Anyone else think edginess is underrated, edge can be pulled off well when you remove the outer-layer of cringe.
