Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire

[khaldurahm-kal-el]

To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it

as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion

[norealdestination]

Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER! I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

Cannot overstate how important this is. Baking soda also does a good trick, but this is still just so, so important!!

@spanish speakers te amo feels weird to say??????

[gringoslur]

TE AMO! IS TOO! INTIMATE!! maybe if you say it quickly and in a jokey way its ok but in a serious talk??? it feels too much!!!!!!!

[gringoslur]

“i love you” is NOTHING compared to te amo. i love you feels like a kiss on the check and te amo feels like fucking marriage. 

[gringoslur]

#I have like a whole thing on saying te amo to anyone

YEA. i had a relationship with someone and she dropped the “te amo” super quicky and i was like…………”thats ok, thank you, but im gonna be honest w you….i’m not saying te amo until i really feel it” thats how serious it is. 

[morsking]

[tindez]

te amo IS very serious, very deep, very intimate. when you want to tell someone that you love them without it being massive, the term you want is te quiero

Same for German imho?!??? Ich liebe dich is THE confession. You don’t drop it in a joking way.

[livia-arida-deactivated20201018]

It might just be me, but I wouldn’t randomly pepper Я люблю тебя into conversation either. It feels… too much.

[itsensakaljastaja]

Maybe it is the English one that is weird

I tell my close friends “I love you” all the time. I think It’s different if I were to say “I’m in love with you”.

[elfwreck]

In these non-English languages, do parents not tell their children “I love you?” Or is it only romantic?

[ebonyheartnet]

Oh, I’m monolingual but I know a bit about this one! :D

So, in a lot of languages, there are multiple verbs that mean, “to love,” which are each situational, while, in English, we derive the meaning through context

Like, “Te quiero,” refers to love for friends and family, aka platonic love, while , “Te amo,” or, “Ai shiteru,” in Japanese, is so achingly tender and romantic that you might as well write the other person a receipt for your heart, because it’s theirs now

At some point, English did have multiple verbs for, “to love,” but eventually English speakers decided, “to hell with it, I only want 1 broad term for these big mushy feelings,” because we hate having multiple words for things almost as much as we hate punctuation

TL;DR: cultures that are non-English speaking do tell their kids they love them, they just have multiple words that mean, “To love,” and English is the odd man out because it got tired of that and went

[jessica-problems]

man, as an american, I will say “I love you” if you pick me up a snack when you pop down to the store

only thing i agree with dads on is when it rains and they say ‘we needed that’ bc like. we did

stop normalizing celebrities running for president with no fucking knowledge or background in politics

[a-girl-with-sparkling-lies]

This isn’t even a new issue. This is how Reagan, a Hollywood actor, became president. And thousands of gay people paid the price for that with their lives when Reagan and his incompetance deliberately exacerbated the AIDS crisis. Stop voting for celebrities and joke entries!

This is NYC right now. Day 30. In a row.

The #BlackLivesMatter movement is just getting started."

[seraphic-sapphic-safehaven]

The dwindling amount of videos and media coverage of protests is honestly worrying to me. In my opinion, protesters, especially Black protesters, are more at risk because of this. Cops tend to act up and hurt people less if they know they're being filmed and especially if they know that a lot of people are filiming. But I worry that as soon as they feel no one is looking/not enough people are looking, they'll start shooting us, and this time, it won't be with """rubber""" bullets and tear gas.

Document everything, y'all. Don't let them think we aren't watching. Don't let them feel safe enough to kill us.

As of today (7/7/2020) PromotePositivityMovement in Atlanta has been protesting for 40 straight days at the Olympic Rings in Centennial Park.

On Saturday alone I attended 4 protests in a row. And that was 4 out of many.

Protests are still happening, daily, but unless they're "exciting," they're not on the news.

[solarmidnight-deactivated202209]

I’m so desperately appreciative of Baptism of Fire because it is, essentially, without a plot. The whole goal of the book is to bring together Geralt’s hansa and have them become friends. And it also proves that as broody and often sulky as Geralt can be, he’s effortlessly charismatic in that he can convince a bunch of people who’ve never seen Ciri before in their lives - except Dandelion - to help him find her. The whole book is a found family trope set in the backdrop of an all-out war in an alternate fantasy world.

SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID!! POINT BLANK PERIOD

[theskymahtin]

[Audio Transcript:

Mm. So I must not have said it clearly enough the first time so please listen up.

You cannot be a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and be homophobic. It's point black period.

The Black Lives Matter movement was made for all black lives, so therefore you cannot say that you support all black lives but... Mm not the gay ones, not the trans ones, not the bi ones, not the pansexual ones. That's not how this works.

So, say it with me with your fucking chest. Say that you are a bigot and say, "I only support lives if they are cis and straight." And, babygirl, I would not be screaming to the rooftops that you're homophobic. That shit's disgusting and embarrassing and it makes you look stupid and idiotic.

So, I said what the fuck I said. You cannot be a supporter of Black Lives Matter and be homophobic. I will not say it again. I'm pretty sure I made myself fucking clear.]

The judge that signed that warrant was complicit or maybe a warrant was never issued.... either way the indictment of Breonna Taylor’s murderers would expose the deep-seeded structural Racism in Louisville’s system.

Many more people than those cops need to go down for Breonna Taylor’s murder.
