I will probably disappear after January because my state passed an age verification law that make it so you need to be over 16 and show your ID to use social media and I'm not doing that. Well that is if VPN are banned/don't work.
I’m glad we’re calling out Vivzie and Goose on their bigoted tweets, no matter how obscure. But why aren’t we seeing this pushback against Zach Hadel? On top of all the other racism that the other two do, he also spread Nazi conspiracy theories with a straight face while defending JonTron. And he’s friends with Shadman. For that matter, why do I always have to spell out that Jschlatt runs GamerSupps, a company that collabs with Nazis and makes products with their likeness. I feel like there’s a bit of selective awareness going on and we need to challenge that.
Haikouichthys ercaicunensis was one of the earliest known vertebrates, living in what is now southwestern China during the Cambrian, around 518 million years ago.
About 2.5cm long (~1"), it had a streamlined body with a long fin along its back and tail. It lacked limbs and jaws, but it did have a flexible "upper lip" that could potentially have been used to manipulate food particles, either engulfing them on the seafloor or stirring them up into the water for filter-feeding.
And a recent study revealed a big surprise — it had four eyes! Along with its already-known large sideways-facing pair of eyes, it also had another smaller upwards-facing pair in the middle of its face, giving it a much wider field of vision and the ability to watch out for predators from multiple angles at once.
The extra pair of eyes may be the evolutionary precursors to the pineal complex in later vertebrates — represented in modern forms by the pineal gland and the parietal eye.

I know we make jokes about the proverbial asexual pervert who has written hundreds of thousands of words of smut on ao3, but also shoutout to the aces who aren’t perverts. to the aces who skip the sex scenes and wince at sex jokes and awkwardly leave the conversation when your friends start talking about sex. your boundaries aren’t childish and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
Sadiq khan, also wants stronger enforcing of the ban despite it not working and people going around their restrictions. Now we all know this yet they don't. How do I put it, oh yeah. You can't enforce internet laws to people who know their way around these restriction and the moment more people know how to circumvent the more useless these laws are. Yet the fact they are trying at all to make such laws really shows they do not care. If they did, more programs and groups would have been funded to teach people internet safety. Not have the government babysit everyone under the lies of "protecting kids". As always notify/tell your parents, extended family and neighbors about the dangers of these laws.
Have them mention along the lines of "I will not give my support and will not give my vote if you are in favor of any kids act, verification law, and other monitoring esc law that is under the guise of "safety" " during the call, email, or letter to your senator/representative. Also guide them to petitions against these laws. The more you help your family and neighbors be technologically aware, the better it is to maintain basic privacy rights as a person. I know it will be tedious as hell, yet every reblog/sharing links among people online. We also have to inform the people in our local area in person as much as we can.
Also gonna put this here too for good measure. This is about the tv giants of the u.k. wanting to put their mainstream tv propaganda in the forefront now matter how many times you tell yt to stop showing them to you. Deadline is August 31st. Also we have to stroke yt's ego here since the u.k. government is the one hosting the questions.

Thank you for your time. Stay safe, stay alert, stay free
i have a folder dedicated to "bad math memes" i made on mspaint in 2022. a friend of mine said tumblr would eat them up? but you know... i'll post one just to test the waters
a lot of people have started begging and offering their lives to me to post the rest but im not convinced y—
oh oh ok hang on i gotta i need to go get my laptop gimme a hot second
so hey, that's everything including the ones i don't like, but if you want more just ask. ive furthered my education since then so surely i could whip up something for trig or stat maybe.
thanks for liking my stupid math memes. show all the dads and tell me what they think.
Theory on why the chimera zombies are an ability of vampires
Not sure if it this was obvious/stated or if this is nonsense
Zombies have bad regeneration.
Will remarks Tarkus moving not like there was a regen ability he didn't know, but like Tarkus is moving regardless of his injuries.
Zombies at least don't regen after they are made, but there is something troubling about Bruford and Tarkus's resurrection. Bruford and Tarkus were dead for around 300 years, far past rotting down the skin and bone. They also killed in a way a leaves the head and body separate and thus unable to do anything. So what happened?
In the final chapter Dio promises to Johnathan that he can heal Johnathan's wounds. This could mean vampirism as Dio is shown to make vampires in SDC, but so far in the story that Dio has not displayed this ability and there is no benefit to making Johnathan possibly stronger than him.
Speaking of SDC Vampires though, Vanilla Ice is Vampire, a watered down one, but a vampire nonetheless. What is interesting about Vanilla's vampirification process though is that he was beheaded before being turned, he was torn apart and dead before reviving, specifically a beheading. Though vampires have regen, I think this healing/revival process should be taken into mind.
In this panel, we can see something interesting, a neck scar and Tarkus's neck, implying it had healed over before he rose out of the ground.
I propose that with enough or more deliberate uses of vampire extract, vampires can heal the corpses before bringing them back as zombies. I think whenever dio revived them, the flesh grew over their bones, undoing centuries of decay while also undoing the decapitation that lead to Bruford and Tarkus's death. (Idk why there is scar because all the flesh has to be new, and Bruford and Tarkus wouldn't look like that if they were mummified)
Also the fact that chimera zombies are introduced after the Bruford and Tarkus fight might imply that this is a stepping stone into the chimera zombie creation process. It's that is it's funny how Bruford and Tarkus were decapitated before death, which all the example I talk about here involve.
What does this mean for the chimera zombies?
I don't think this ability of Dio's is completely random, but rather just a manipulation of the healing process, just this time it's forcing flesh of one corpse to treat the flesh of a different corpse like it's the same body, I'm not too sure how the xenotransplantation process works completely, but I think the being zombie thing doesn't really make the who immune system thing a proper issue.
And by now I assume we all assume that Dio's fusion with Johnathan's body is the same process, so I won't go much further into that because quite frankly I don't care for part 3 Dio
I'm not sure why dio had a hard time fusing to Johnathan's body. Is because of the history of hamon or is it just not the same when one component is alive while the other is dead. Also another instance of decapitation healing lol.
People of the then were smarter, kinder, and more sophisticated, people of the now are stupider, crueler, and more unruly. This is true now and forever.
This is thought that came to because "media literacy is dead" is just something I don't experience. Maybe it's because I curate my space. Maybe it's more common, but I feel like the level of stupidity has always been there.
People have always made theories that cherry pick details to say the opposite is true, making stories allegories for why their ideology is right, mischaracterizing characters horribly, defending evil characters by misconstruing their actions, say media is bad because it depicts bad thing, making up fake plot holes, only sees things from a watsonian perspective, and much more.
People of the then were smarter, kinder, and more sophisticated, people of the now are stupider, crueler, and more unruly. This is true now and forever.
