Roughly 1000 of you asked: Did you lie about your age when Princess Diana died?

You cant take damage if the enemy is dead

cryoverkiltmilk

Don’t talk to me about buffing or debuffing stats either. The only stat that matters is the enemy’s HP, and I am going to debuff it all the way to zero.

I think this video is cursed because every so often I’ll think about it out of the blue and the next time I’m on tumblr I see it.

mens-rights-activia

This video is definitely cursed. Cause I’m OP and I died making it

This! Thank you Andrew Yang

a-brokenteenpoet

Andrew Yang has the most nuanced, appropriate, and comprehensive view on economic growth out there. He knows wealth taxes aren’t effective. He knows the unemployment rate, which the Trump presidency so proudly touts, doesn’t properly reflect living standards because of the financial insecurity even college graduates face and the struggles of providers who have to work multiple jobs at once. He knows we need a higher minimum wage, but that then, all other wwages must raise, too. He knows unskilled labor is valuable. He knows all this and has a solution for them all! Why is he being so slept on??

teeco

I honestly don’t know why he’s not receiving NEARLY as much traction as other candidates, but he got my vote

Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!

Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.

Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?

Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.

Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?

Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?

Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.

Did this post just use a dialogue format to trick me into learning science

Had to check this out on wikipedia at least and boy was that a ride

SCIENCE!

not-a-bot-i-swear-deactivated20

Just so you guys know. Hysterical strength is basically your body not holding back and going %100 though there is a great danger of you hurting yourself or breaking something since your ignoring pain and going %100. There was a case where a kid deadlifted a car to save a sibling but,cracked 8 of his teeth during it because he was clenching his jaw so hard. So whilst you can lift a car or fight off polar bears. Your probably going to break something. Because most of the time when we are “giving our all” we are only giving a fraction of what we could give and this is because if we truly give our all we can seriously injure ourselves.

celestial-naiad

This is literally an explanation of Deku and his abilities with One For All.

such-justice-wow

Humans naturally hold back because our muscles have enough strength to rip themselves apart

thathealeygirl

STOP GIVING THE ALIENS REASONS NOT TO VISIT.

salamencerobot

@celestial-naiad the whole one million percent smash was actually hysterical strength, according to horikoshi.

on an unrelated note, did you know that if all the muscles in your back clenched at once your spine would shatter? have fun!!

celestial-naiad

Thats a horrifying and empowering thought at the same time.

silent-calling

Also: when you are sufficiently electrocuted and “thrown back” what is actually happening is your muscles contracting so hard and fast you essentially fling yourself away from the dangerous thing.

jadensilver

This is the same stuff that stops you from biting off your own fingers and whatnot. Our brains just say ‘no, don’t,’ whenever we try to do some dumbass shit, until we reach the point where it’s either do the dumbass shit or die/watch someone else die. I think it’s really cool though that we can shut off this function for others than ourselves. It shows a lot how we truly are social creatures at our core, that we don’t just do this when it’s our own body that might die, but for others in our community as well.

sindri42

This is why a zombie would be extremely terrifying for a short period, and then neutralize itself. No fear and no pain means it could rip apart the gates to your fortress with its bare hands, but it would tear its arms or break its back in the process and never do anything very dangerous again.

This also means that anybody with a magical super-healing power would essentially get super strength out of the mix for free if they could get past the psychological limitations. That’s probably what makes vampires so strong; they don’t actually put out any more force than a normal human but they repair any damage they take in the process almost instantly.

@krunchy-tuna why would you hide this hilarious comment in the tags

anachronic-cobra

Aight I know I’m OP but I gotta reblog for appreciation of that comment

feywildwest

employees should be allowed to steal, actually

feywildwest

idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month.

I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any.

A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.

I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal.

Employees should be able to steal, actually.

Gmod TTT- Party in Room 6

One of them asked for this on off topic so I made it. Don’t remember who asked or if someone did it already but here you go.

Both the events I divided on the screen were happening at the same time but were separated in post to make for less confusion for the audience.

This is the chaos that the editors have to sift through. Bless their souls. 😂

In case you haven’t heard, mainstream media has been leaving Andrew Yang out or making maybe/maybenot intentional errors with his name since March 2019! You can see many of them in this link below:

https://vocal.media/theSwamp/a-visual-history-of-the-yang-media-blackout

But this new one is quite probably the stupidest one yet. Instead of ACTUAL Andrew Yang and ACTUAL Tulsi Gabbard, they have the photo of some dude named Geoff Yang and Kirsten Gillibrand who already dropped out of the race. Come on CNBC! You’ve had like a year to figure this out already! I really have to think it’s intentional at this point because how does CNBC not know how to do the basic task of googling a photo?

But I’m actually laughing instead of angry because whenever people try to hold Yang back it ends up backfiring. Now Andrew Yang and Geoff Yang’s twitters are following each other. If Geoff Yang’s family/friends/coworkers weren’t Yanged before, I bet many of them are now! Thanks CNBC XOXOXO! The only way this could get better is if Geoff publicly endorsed Andrew and we get some hilarious media coverage out of it.

YANG: The Series

Season 1: Yang vs. MSNBC

Season 2: Yang vs. DNC

Season 3: Yang vs. Bernie (not for sure yet, but the writers seem to be foreshadowing this as the main plotline for Season 3)

Season 4: Yang vs. Trump

Season 5: Yang vs. World’s Problems

(And the movie would be called The War On Normal People)

“wouldn’t you rather earn something than have it just handed to you?”

Yeah when it comes to actual awards and fancy goods, but when it comes to basic needs, basic human decency, and accomodations, those things should always be handed to people. No one should have to “earn” those things.Value people as people, not base it on how much they produce.

mythiass-deactivated20230515

yeah but that creates a severe dependency that could be exploited easily, and creates a slippery slope @musical-clarity

thebaconsandwichofregret

Actually studies show that people who live in places with universal income (who are given money with no strings attached just for being citizens) do far better work than those who don’t and are more enthusiastic to do work.

This is because they still want nice things and will work for those but the part of their energy that was devoted to worrying about if they have enough money to pay the rent and bills this month is now freed up to do other things.

Some people will always be lazy and take advantage of the system, but they are always a tiny percentage and it seems ridiculous to me to punish the majority and severly hamstring their abilities just because a handful of people will simply live of basic income rather than work.

tiwaztyrsfist

It’s been tested a couple times. In Canada, in some European countries, and the results are always the same. There are two groups of people who show a statistically significant (Greater than one half of one percent, or 1 in 200) increase in Not Working and living off the guaranteed income. Parents of Children under school age, and full time students. Among ALL other groups, employment actually INCREASED. Why? Because guaranteed minimum income means that homeless people can get at least a basic low end apartment. It’s hard if not impossible to get an above board job without a permanent fixed address. Also more people were able to have and maintain a BANK ACCOUNT. It is often hard to get a decent job without an account that can accept Direct Deposit for paychecks. Also, lost work time due to illness and injury decreased across the board. It turns out if people are getting a decent amount of money each month they can A> afford to eat better, and B> obtain decent medical attention both preventative and emergency. Crazy right? So why hasn’t it caught on? Because it doesn’t directly benefit the people in power, and it increases THEIR PERSONAL taxes, their CORPORATE TAXES, and thus decreases their PERSONAL INCOME. So, because Jeff Bezos and Alan Greenspan might fall from making 100 billion dollars a year to making 99.8 billion dollars a year, it’s a hard NO and we can all fucking die.. The End.
