i found out that Bill Gates once released a swarm of mosquitoes on a crowd to make a point about malaria
“There’s no reason only poor people should have the experience,” the billionaire said, before adding that the mosquitoes were not infectious.
Gates was making the compelling point that, even if an issue like malaria doesn’t directly affect you, you should still care. At that time, he noted, more money had been invested into researching hair loss drugs because, when it comes to baldness, “rich men are afflicted.” (x)
when im playing out a daydream scenario in my head and i catch myself trying to rush to The Good Part™:
There’s like 12 different kinds of tension in this image.
quick question
why is the one in the middle wearing 5 shirts
that’s why she’s being bullied
it’s so weird to me that shrek originally wasn’t meant to have a scottish accent can you imagine him with an american accent? it wouldn’t be the same the scottish accents adds some flavour some zest a certain je ne sais quoi
him shouting ‘DONKEY’ wouldn’t be as powerful

Dude just stop climbing mount everest. just stop it. Wtf
Not sure if this is a shitpost but we really do need to stop climbing mount everest. It’s largely pointless and we’ve made a huge ecological impact of years from waste left behind from all exhibitions. Not to mention the economic impact on locals
people in the notes are trying to imply this is good, normal, natural, and not something to be discouraged, so uh… lets break this down
obvious warnings for discussions of death
pollution
there are mountains of literal shit on everest. i can only assume people forget that everest is freezing and so poop wont break down the same way as it will when youre camping (or that they dont want to carry bags of poo around). this contaminates glaciers which has began to cause damage to the water supplies of nearby local villages
similarly there are mountains of rubbish. in 2015, it was reported that yearly clean up efforts had removed 15,000kg of rubbish and 800kg of human waste from everest.
because of the high altitude, a bag of poo or rubbish becomes so heavy to carry that it would be deadly to do so.
pollution thanks to littering is a growing problem and one that is hard to fix because of the above point – “Even picking up a candy wrapper high up on the mountain is a lot of effort, because it’s totally frozen and you have to dig around it,”
tourist privilege
to the average english speaker, “sherpa” has come to mean guide, despite the fact it is a name for an ethnic group.
300 people have died on everest and the last year without a death was 1977. 111 of those deaths are people from nepal.
sad as it is to say, for tourism and money flow to keep coming in, it looks better for native guides to die than for the tourists to die. sherpas bend over backwards trying to help those they are assigned to
sherpas are often treated incredibly poorly by those they are assigned to, despite breaking their back (and risking their lives) to try and help
sherpas often have to support inexperienced tourists (who are on everest for some fuckin reason), making the already dangerous summit even more so. some of these tourists dont even know how to tie basic safety knots.
many sherpa guides work in the industry not because they want to but because they can make 10x the average wage in nepal doing it.
many of the deaths of tourists are down to doing extreme things for an ego boost, such as climbing without oxygen.
the corpses
should you die on everest you will likely remain there. “A dead body that normally weighs 80kg might weigh 150kg when frozen and dug out with the surrounding ice attached.” the risk to others isnt worth it, in most cases
furthermore, if you cant be found or your family cant organise rescue quickly, rescue may become impossible due to you literally becoming stuck to the mountain.
sherpas have reported how emotionally and mentally difficult finding these bodies is and plenty of them have died trying to bring people home
the difficulty in retrieving corpses means that many are left, mummified and frozen, in public view. it is common to find bodies when climbing which has proven to be difficult for many climbers
people who have climbed everest have gone out their way to say the media isnt being sensationalist about this, for once, and its as deadly and filled with corpses and rubbish as it is reported to be.
death is incredibly normalised on the mountain. a british man, famously, huddled with a corpse in a cave bid to survive. 40 climbers passed him and very few attempted to help, despite him being alive. why? most assumed he was a corpse and so didnt check.
this normalisation is why some corpses have gained names and become markers. green boots is the most famous, but the german woman and sleeping beauty are other examples. a stretch of the climb has been called “rainbow ridge” due to the bright colours of jackets belonging to corpses that poke through the snow.
tourism
more than 4,000 have climbed everest. while thats barely any compared to the overall global population, it definitely isnt the impressive, one of a kind feat it once was.
most people actually die AFTER getting to the top, not on the way there.
2019 was the deadliest year on everest since 2006, excluding years where deaths were largely due to natural disasters.
tour companies do not screen you for experience, anyone can sign up to go up mount everest. this means incredibly inexperienced climbers have become common, causing danger to themselves and others.
nepal also has no rules for who can climb the mountain.
until this year, the nepal government turned a blind eye to most of this. presumably, for them, the money income was worth it.
in 2012 it was reported that overcrowding was becoming a major issue, causing many to die that year. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed. nothing was done. in 2019 we heard the same story.
2019s viral photo of the crowd climbing. people died waiting in this crowd. people stepped over the dying and dead to make it to the top. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed, once again.
people fight to take selfies at the top
theft has been reported by climbers on the mountain
the demand has meant dodgy equipment has found its way onto expeditions. climbers reported oxygen tanks leaking and exploding.
psychology
people who have been rescued have been reported saying that they wished they had died; that the disfigurements to their body and the way such has changed their lives werent worth it
people have had their families die struggle never getting a body back
climbing over dead bodies, using them as markers, and even sharing a tent with one, has proven to be difficult for some who climb
the family of the man thought to be green boots has discussed how horrid it is to them that their sons dead body is posted online.
these thoughts were echoed by the family of the woman who came to be called the sleeping beauty.
you really think all that is natural and normal?
in what world is everest worth it
everest has become a colonialist playground. mountaineering is supposed to be about adventure, about conquering something very few people can, about athleticism and bravery. now, climbing everest is about rich people, many of whom do not belong on the mountain because they do not have the skills or experience required, paying poor local people to carry them up the mountains. if it really was about the adventure, you would go climb k2, annapurna, the mountains that arent tourist attractions (yet) . it’s not about adventure and challenge, its about bragging rights, and poor brown people are dying to drag your inexperienced asses up the mountain.
“Straight Pride Parade”
I just want this to be a joke
So apparently this is their website…I feel like I have lost the ability to read. Is it all a joke? Is this trolling? Are cishet people actually like this? It has to be trolling at this point.
reading that feels like a Physical punch in the stomach
“add S to LGBTQ to make it more inclusive”
f u c k n o
Reading more of their website, it ain’t great.
Wtf!!!!
“Straights are an oppressed majority” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read
Let’s not forget that this was started by an actual Nazi. This is not a joke, it’s an attack made to look funny.
If i didn’t know this was for real I would think it was an Onion website and that’s honestly the point. When Brad Pitt threatened to sue them for using his name/image without permission they didn’t even take down that section, they just put a censored stamp pic instead of Pitts and changed instances of his name to “[REDACTED]”
The website is called Super Happy Fun America…like they’re absolutely being over the top on purpose, likely in a bid to get the link spread around without actually having to do anything. And sure, plenty of people with an ounce of sense are going to see this for the goofy shit it is but there’ll be enough people who “see the point” of this goofy shit to make the overwhelming ridicule worth it as long as it gets spread
Y'all… these people are literally white supremacists, and they’ve gotten perpetual shande Milo Y to grand marshal.
It isn’t funny. It isn’t cute. It’s a Trojan horse of an event meant to bring their “message” to more people.
stop writing songs about straight romances, and start writing songs about the macabre, the ghost that lives in your attic, empty graveyards, forgotten crypts, sacrifices to the old gods, haunted houses and homoeroticism.

If anyone wants a quick summary of MCR, here it is
Maybe that person you called racist or homophobic or accused or being sexist is secretly breaking down inside. Maybe they’re crying as they see your hate. Maybe they have feelings just like you
I don’t care.
Them: Oh you don’t want this cat. He’s wild and he bites everyone and he’ll never just sit nicely in your lap. He’s a project cat.
Me: That’s okay, I’m a project person.
Two weeks later:
He won’t leave.
AAAAAAAAH
I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU YOU HAVE NO IDEA
“problem” cats just need a safe person. Someone who is patient and doesn’t push them. Once you gain their trust they will love you forever.
Most problem cats are only a “problem” because people try to push them into being something they aren’t comfortable being. And they’re usually the most loving, sweet, and gentle animals once they realize you aren’t going to demand that of them.

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.
