pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.

The only reason I’m glad Spain won is because otherwise the Zionists would claim their loss was divine punishment for going against Israel.

My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles

Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off

There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

SANS FROM UNDERTALE ON THE FIRST I'M TRULY EFFED. Jasmine from Aladdin on the 2nd lmao.

Cutscenes animated by MAPPA! The cutscenes with the Shadows feel very cinematic and look amazing; it's practically like watching an anime or movie. Look at Shadow Yosuke's grin when he's about to transform into the boss form!

Notice that the bosses when defeated get that same static-like glitch effect from the anime!

Captain America knows what’s good.

[thehobbitranger]

STAY WOKE

[bottle-of-bucky]

This is the Captain America we need in 2017.

[gehayi]

Let’s hear Cap’s entire speech:

“Listen to me– all of you out there! You were told by this man– your hero– that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people– that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was – how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!

“Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals– its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth! I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different than them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn American into nothing! And the only reason you’re not less then nothing– is that it’s still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!”

–Captain America, “What If (Captain America Were Not Revived Until Today)?” Volume 1 #44 (Peter Gillis, writer), April 1984

Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.

Its surprisingly tasty????

[libraford]

"Wow, I wonder why this post was popular this week."

"... ah."

"Soul Society is Morally Gray" factoid actually just statistical error. Average Soul Society officer is mostly Good. Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who lives in lab and commits over 10,000 crimes against decency each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Bleach coming back LMAO watch as Szayelaporro Grantz literally becoming a Hazbin Hotel character inexplicably gets 3600% more screentime than every other interesting character in the Bleach verse.

oh my god that would be the most diabolical crossover ever

[clownflower]

I wonder how deranged this sounds to anyone who is at least aware of Bleach/Hazbin Hotel but isn't in either of those fandoms.

So the Nazi Party is merely white people exercising their right to self-determination?

Is that how it goes? Hmmm?

[clownflower]

You can almost feel Piers Morgan’s relief now he that pivot to this Zionist propaganda and not, you know, exercise any real journalism which might anger his Zionist masters.

I see him on TV trying to at least give the pretense of objectivity but his Zionist guests are too far up their own asses to give him anything even slightly resembling credibility.

It’s LiBeL YUo CaN’t sAY tHaT AboUT Us

[clownflower]

Hey don’t accuse of that that’s libel but also if it’s true you can’t criticize us anyway.

[clownflower]

Do not believe the lies of Zionists.

With these scum, every accusation is an admission.
