SOMETHING THAT I MEANT TO INCLUDE BUT FORGOT TO:

ok so these are all produced by the company (unless there are killjoys that can print glossy magazines whch i dont think there are, and why would they produce ones with korse on them) so BLI makes recreational magazines which feeds into my tabloid thing

obv we’ve got shiny magaizine which is….. just porn, and then murder magazine which is… just murder porn, but i always forget about the lil exterminator magazine???????? AND I THINK ITS SO CUTE!!!! like lookit korse getting a cover feature aww….so proud of my bby…. ANYWAY i think that’s really interesting, that they have an entire ~exterminator~ magazine like… hell yes, making the public feel like theyre all included in the military operations and they feel secure and safe looking at all the BIG GUNS AND STUFF

and then 

here’s ghoul reading the battery city times???/ i think is what it’s called?? i remember there was a pic (not from the videos) of like the real prop, but i think its saved on my old computer. but you can read the headline saying ‘what’s his next “korse” of action?’ (adorable) with presumably a lil interview with korse or a story or something. but thats 2 different media forms with korse on the front page and that just SCREAMS celebritizing(is that a word???? probably not) and obsessing over certain people and taking their opinion on everything

yes

[onlydangerdays]

Hi hello i heard something about Bli celebrities pls talk about this

crACKS KNUCKLES OKAY

just saying

BLI would’ve banned religion considering the idea of anybody having faith and depending on anything other than itself would be repulsive as an idea and quite frankly there’d be so much conflict anyway that there’s no way the religious wouldn’t have been stamped out so

what i’m trying to say is

that religion and the act of worshipping anything other than the company is an act of rebellion of its own right

Cannibalism (more than you think)

Cannibalism, or the practise of eating human flesh, is genuinely quite an interesting topic. When mentioned, most people’s minds will flit to hunter-gatherer tribes in rainforest with large pots and bones through their noses; however that’s really a bit racist since cannibalism has been known to happen in all sorts of places - look here for a list of the “top 10 cases of cannibalism” on listverse (not for the lighthearted, and in this case all in places and situations where cannibalism is a taboo) - and has different meanings all over the globe.

Let’s start with the literal meaning:

The word  cannibal was coined sometime in the 16th Century, from the Spanish term Canibales, which itself was a variant of Caribales, which the Spanish used to call the Kalianago, a West Indian tribe who were said to eat human flesh.

There are two types of cannibalism: exocannibalism and endocannibalism, which respectively stand for eating people from another group/tribe or eating members of your own group or society.

These two types can then be divided into more sub-categories, which can all fit into either endo- or exocannibalism, depending on the situation. It’s really quite simple:

Cultural Cannibalism is the stereotypically known type of cannibalism. Cultural cannibalism can be either endocannibalistic (as a sign of respect to a deceased family member) or exocannibalistic (as a sign of contempt towards one’s enemies). The Yanomamö of Brazil and Venezuela have been known to consume the ground up bones and ashes of loved ones in an act of mourning - it’s not seen as an act of barbarism, but to show affection to their friends and family members. The Aztecs of Mexico on the other hand believed in sacrificing their enemies to their Gods (and consequently eating them) as a way to communicate with and show reverence to higher powers.

Survival Cannibalism is practised only if needs must be, such as the Donner Party or the Andes flight disaster in 1972. The idea of survival cannibalism makes plenty of people feel uncomfortable - could you eat your dead flight attendant if you were starving? - because whilst we like to think of ourselves as too civilised and honourable to do such things, we don’t know how far we’d go if we were really desperate, and that’s a bit alarming to the majority of the “Western” population. Again, applicable both in endo- and exo- version (which is what really makes people shudder).

Pleasure Cannibalism is the last on the list, and it’s pretty self-explanatory - some people eat people because they like eating people, because they’re under the influence of drugs, or because of far more disturbing reasons. Think Hannibal Lecter - there are some truly gruesome stories out there, and if you’re not squeamish here’s a couple of them.

What I’m trying to get at here is not to scare you witless but to point out that people’s general view on cannibalism is really ridiculously narrow. It’s not practised only in hate or in madness, and has probably happened in your country at some point or another. I personally think it’s a strange thing to do and would never consider murdering someone to have some human goulash, but in a desperate case, who knows? For all we know we could have been sold human meat instead of pork for years, and we’d probably never notice.

mental illnesses in the city

tbh mental illnesses would be at an all-time high within battery city and half the reason why that is is because culturally they’d literally construct a system that would manufacturer disorders into people at a higher rate

they don’t have the technology to cure mental illnesses and that’s never been the point anyway, it’s to hook people in and keep them just stable enough to function and produce and consume but enough to keep them dependent on the market

the environment of the city would factor in more and more stresses during development to cause genuine mental illnesses to manifest. the expectations of society will force symptoms into people or aggravate what’s already there. people are way more likely to snap dealing with what’s pushed onto them every day. 

not only that but there are so many misdiagnoses that happen. emotion itself would pretty much be considered a mental illness, shelved off both actual ones, and labels that are invented by the time BLI gets into power. faith in religion turns into religious delusions caused by schizophrenia, bouts of anxiety caused by daily stressors turns into ocd or panic disorders, a standard body issue caused by the brainwashing they themselves put out there gets filed away into dysphoria and immediately pushed onto you to get corrected, etc etc. and if that’s not enough, the drugs they put into you could even cause the symptoms that they decide are disorders that garner more extreme treatments. mental illnesses are often caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, and your brain is constantly being flooded with different chemicals to affect your behavior. etc etc…

Places in the Dangerverse: Battery City

[onlydangerdays]

California, 2019. In the final days of The Helium Wars, and shortly after the disappearance of Australia, Better Living Industries unveils Battery City: a shining utopia free of decisions and emotion, and capital of the entire remnants of America. A triumph threatened only by a young orphan girl with a terrible secret. Running from the Corporation, she befriends four freelance anarchists, children born of violence and rock and roll.

Explination about radiation fallout from the actual TRANSMISSION videos made by MCR and posted in promotion for the album.

[todrawthedevil]

… 

indulge me for a second

look at that thumbnail… let’s just say that that… is the actual pattern of radioactive fallout across the continent.

look at the way it’s spread… california is the least affected 

which means:

this is a possible map of the bombing that resulted in the great fires

Factors affecting nuclear fallout

Location

There are two main considerations for the location of an explosion: height and surface composition. A nuclear weapon detonated in the air, called an air burst, produces less fallout than a comparable explosion near the ground.

In case of water surface bursts, the particles tend to be rather lighter and smaller, producing less local fallout but extending over a greater area. The particles contain mostly sea salts with some water; these can have a cloud seeding effect causing local rainout and areas of high local fallout. Fallout from a seawater burst is difficult to remove once it has soaked into porous surfaces because the fission products are present as metallic ions that chemically bond to many surfaces. 

For subsurface land bursts, the surge is made up of small solid particles, but it still behaves like a fluid. A soil earth medium favors base surge formation in an underground burst. Although the base surge typically contains only about 10% of the total bomb debris in a subsurface burst, it can create larger radiation doses than fallout near the detonation, because it arrives sooner than fallout, before much radioactive decay has occurred.

Meteorological

Meteorological conditions greatly influence fallout, particularly local fallout. Atmospheric winds are able to bring fallout over large areas. For example, as a result of a Castle Bravo surface burst of a 15 Mt thermonuclear device at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954, a roughly cigar-shaped area of the Pacific extending over 500 km downwind and varying in width to a maximum of 100 km was severely contaminated. There are three very different versions of the fallout pattern from this test, because the fallout was only measured on a small number of widely spaced Pacific Atolls. The two alternative versions both ascribe the high radiation levels at north Rongelap to a downwind hotspot caused by the large amount of radioactivity carried on fallout particles of about 50-100 micrometres size.

Snow and rain, especially if they come from considerable heights, accelerate local fallout. Under special meteorological conditions, such as a local rain shower that originates above the radioactive cloud, limited areas of heavy contamination just downwind of a nuclear blast may be formed.

Effects

A wide range of biological changes may follow the irradiation of animals. These vary from rapid death following high doses of penetrating whole-body radiation, to essentially normal lives for a variable period of time until the development of delayed radiation effects, in a portion of the exposed population, following low dose exposures.

The unit of actual exposure is the röntgen, defined in ionisations per unit volume of air. All ionisation based instruments (including geiger counters and ionisation chambers) measure exposure. However, effects depend on the energy per unit mass, not the exposure measured in air. A deposit of 1 joule per kilogram has the unit of 1 gray (Gy). For 1 MeV energy gamma rays, an exposure of 1 röntgen in air produces a dose of about 0.01 gray (1 centigray, cGy) in water or surface tissue. Because of shielding by the tissue surrounding the bones, the bone marrow only receives about 0.67 cGy when the air exposure is 1 röntgen and the surface skin dose is 1 cGy. Some lower values reported for the amount of radiation that would kill 50% of personnel (the LD50) refer to bone marrow dose, which is only 67% of the air dose.
