Less than a month after reading this, this is what appears in my youtube recommendations
This is what chimaki sounds like and no-one can tell me otherwise! It’s posted by a fox rescuing organization, and I’ve been watching their videos for the past week since than. A shame I can’t donate to them
So I just finished Mitsuhide’s romantic end, and I wanted to ask people who finished the dramatic one to tell me what happens, since it will be a few weeks before I get to read it. Also it might help me to prepare >.>
I think it was kinda good though via /r/wholesomememes http://bit.ly/2QeYREk
We did it!
Gets me every time.

Just screaming
95 degrees? You don’t fucking die in 95 degrees.
Yes, and I thought the same thing too, but please understand… They’re taking about wet-bulb temperature, which I had to look up.
Here’s a YouTube video that explains it too…
So from my limited understanding it would have to be really hot and humid to get a wet-bulb reading of 95°. On the National Weather Service Heat Index, at 80% humidity 95° feels like 136°
Not to panic though. We still have time but I really think it’s up to our youth to take control. Politically and environmentally. Trump just proposed to cut billions of dollars to NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Energy Department, AND the National Cancer Institute. These old rich bastards probably won’t even be alive when it goes down so they don’t care.
I live in Texas. Temperatures above 100-101°F (i.e. 38°C) aren’t uncommon in summer but our humidity is often below 40%. In 2009 I was very habituated to the heat, young, fit, and healthy, and I saw forecasts for Taipei, where I’d be traveling, were going to be not higher than 99°F (37°C).
What I did not count on was a typhoon (Morakot) keeping humidity in the 95-99% range.
I had to sit down every minute I walked, even under a cloudy sky. It’s like trying to suck air through a towel soaked in bathwater. I was pouring sweat and it wasn’t evaporating at all because the air was saturated, which is the point of wet bulb temperature readings: if there’s no evaporation, sweating doesn’t cool you. At that temperature, neither does water; everything you drink is the same temperature you are. Staying still, not exerting yourself at all, only keeps it from getting worse; it does not get better. And the environment I was in only went to body temperature and cooled off to the high eighties (30°C) at night: as long as I didn’t move I’d be fine. We also had the privilege of functional technology, iced drinks: in a brownout that’s not an option.
You should absolutely be afraid of this. We must absolutely prevent this happening. We must move now, because humans will assuredly die, are already dying, and because we aren’t the only ones on this planet with the right to live.
Wet bulb temperatures (which are basically combined humidity and temperature conditions) over body temperature can be thought of as the point where the methods mammals use to regulate body heat just Stop Working. Every motion you make, every breath, every heartbeat, every nerve impulse heats you up and there’s nowhere in your environment you can dump that heat, so you just get hotter and hotter until you reach a temperature where your organs can’t function and you die. There’s nothing you can do to survive that other than ‘get colder’. And as the article pointed out, that may not be possible when heat impacts the power grid.
THIS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING
Bad news: much of our populace and most of our leaders won’t believe this can happen until it does happen.
Worse news: even after “our leaders” believe it is happening they still won’t do anything about it as long as the billionaire class is still making money.
Why did the Romanian stop reading?
They wanted to give the Bucharest

drip pumps are so demanding they count as intensive patients
no! where is it? who’s screaming? press the button! make it stop!
“pressure high” no its not! the patient hasn’t moved and the line hasn’t kink-
“check upstream” yeah the drip bag is there and it’s open what do you-
“drive blocked” what the fuck does that even mean
*pressing standby* just go the fuck to sleep
tired: MC is a pushover, a doormat, and a terribly-written character.
wired: The idea that soft-spoken, shy, and soft MCs aren’t well-written is iffy because it implies that only sassy, confident, and assertive MCs (and female protagonists in general) are well-written. It promotes a standard that says MC can only be a good character if she fits that framework. This notion alienates the more reserved MCs and pits them against the more confident ones and ultimately creates this binary that divides female protagonists into “good, strong MCs” and “bad, weak MCs” when in reality, all MCs have their own personal strengths. In other words, the measurement of how well-written a female character is does not depend on their sass and confidence.
Also, the idea that “strong female protagonists” are only those who 1) can fight, 2) are intellectual, 3) are in positions of power, 4) are open about their sexuality, or 5) can talk back is harmful because it creates this hierarchy between traditionally feminine traits and traditionally masculine traits—and in this case, it shows that we ultimately value masculine traits in female protagonists more. In this essay, I will—
We need to be aware of patriarchal nonsense going on and internalized misogyny.
A lot of times the doormat mc will turn a lot of people off because it’s fitting an ideal for men. Shy and reserved mc’s need to be written with nuance so that they’re actual people and not just something that feels male gazey and/or a societal expectation.
And the thing is, the exact opposite mc is annoying too for the exact same reasons; you can’t just write a sassy character that talks back and that’s it…..like that’s still fitting into patriarchal nonsense because it’s still not understanding women; its a caricature instead of a actual person. I do think that this can initially feel like progress in a world that tells us women to be shy and demure and to know our place, but after a while you start to see how shallow it really is.
Everyone has soft, strong, weak, and inspiring traits. A shy and reserved character can still have boundaries without needing to be sassy. A character who talks back can still love to make flower crowns and hate fighting. A lazy mc can see her friend getting picked and go for the attack and then need to take a 3 hour nap later on because that took a lot of energy out of her. We don’t want 1 dimension characters, we want people with ALL the dimensions!
