Larry’s fanfiction from this year’s extra life!

[phantomrose96]

People in the online generation get so goddamn weird about Internet Content Creators:tm: as soon as those creators start making any kind of money off their work. This is especially true if the person being weird is one of those backers and therefore "entitled" to being horrible because they've paid $5. And it's completely indistinguishable from the way Boomers treat service workers.

Like any Online Millennial or Gen Z would balk at the idea of saying a single mean word to their waiter, but as soon as the creator they toss pennies at on patreon sets a toe out of line, (or not even out of line, maybe just not catering to this person's specifics wants, or not producing content as high-quality as it used to be) suddenly the Terminally Online are happy to unleash their unbridled fury, frothing opinions, and full-blown karen I'll take my business elsewhere and tell everyone to never shop here again-ness.

Except the difference is an entitled Boomer will march out of a store in a huff and be done with it, while the internet will try to snowball and dogpile until the creator is run off.

Like I've seen people get so weird about the McElroy content, and how "not-as-good" this that or the other thing is now, and they say this with such justified fury because the McElroys make money. This isn't "eh I've stopped listening as much since I don't like the direction." This is "how dare the McElroys not live up to my quality expectations when they're making money. don't they know they have to earn the right to have money with a good enough monkey-dance??"

Trust fund babies will ride out their McMansion lives never lifting a finger, but an internet content creator pulling in enough money to make a normal human living in a way that does not cater exactly to some segment of the internet's expectations is grounds for the most dehumanizing vitriol imaginable.

And no, before someone asks this is not apologism for people creating kickstarters and running off with the money. This is about how often a severely bad-faith take or plain cruelty is justified and propagated because the subject under storm is a "professional" on account of being compensated for their work.

I'd so much rather have a faceless corporation sign my paychecks for faceless work until I die than stake my livelihood on creating internet content I'm passionate about. I'd be happy to never receive a single dime from the internet. Because as soon as I do that, the public owns me, and the internet would be allowed to waggle a dollar above my head and say "dance monkey dance" without the slightest hint of irony. Or worse, they can say "remember that time we gave you a dollar?" "remember that time you received a dollar from someone?" as an absolute shut-down to any discussion of whether a content creator should have a right to do anything which does not cater directly to their fans' expectations.

Boomers' entitled harassment of service workers didn't go away with the new generation, it just got rebranded.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

Be safe.

Wear a hat and regularly soak it in water. As it dries it will cool your head. Its in the mid 90s here today and my hat is drying out in an hour or so, plan accordingly.

Take your time with tasks Physical activity generates body heat and you do not need more of that.

Good curtains on your windows help keep the sun out and the ac in.

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

Yes.

If you can afford it, blackout curtains or really thick curtains that keeps the sun out will insulate the windows.

I needed this when I lived in an apartment where my room faced west because the setting sun was too hot and the AC couldn't keep up.

Also drink water BEFORE you feel dehydrated. Drink water BEFORE you get hot. Even if you don’t feel like you need water, drink it. There isn’t much to prevent heat stroke, but going into the heat with water in your system will be far better than going into it without water. Avoid soda, coffee, iced/sweet tea, and other caffeinated drinks cuz they’ll dehydrate you.

Another good option is cold watermelon or high water fruits. When I find I’m so hot that the idea of drinking water is gross, melon is what I usually turn to. It’s more interesting texturally and is extremely high water content.

If you are experiencing heat exhaustion, drink cool but not cold water. Too cold will shock your system.

Seconding black out curtains. They’re saving my electric bill rn.

Do not be afraid to pour water on yourself or your clothing. Water evaporating will cool you off. Legit the only reason why I was able to sleep in 95 degree heat this weekend was my soaked shirt.

Also make sure to check your car batteries or tires. Nothing will leave you stranded in the heat easier than a car malfunction, especially a battery. If there is any resistance starting your car, get a new battery asap.

Hey so remember how fuckin ERCOT (who owns the power grid in Texas) literally killed people in the freeze because they "didn't prepare for cold weather" and shut the power off and that was their excuse??? Guess who is now telling us to use less power or they'll shut it off on us again now in hot as fuck summer!!! Full fucking offense but ur excuse was bs the first time now this time I assure you that you cannot fuckign claim to be unprepared for the demand due to intense summer heat IN FUCKING TEXAS. fuck you!!! People are going to die again if you fucking shut off their AC!!! What the fuck is wrong with you!?!! "conserve power to we don't have to shut it off uwu" HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY MAINTAIN UR FUCKIGN SHIT TO DECENT STANDARDS???

ERCOT Calls On Texans To Conserve Power Amid High Summer Demand, Forced Outages

ERCOT said several power generators in the state are on forced outages for repairs, putting about 11,000 megawatts — about the amount of ene

Ironically, the R in ERCOT stands for "reliability"

The worst part is that it’s only the beginning of summer. The real heat hasn’t even hit us yet so this bullshit is only gonna get worse

Everything I’ve learned about dream has been against my will. With that being said, I still think his mask persona is way too similar to cryaotic. The mask and the green hoodie? It’s literally the exact same except for a slight smile and it catches me off guard every time

do i excessively share my thoughts about the content that I consume on a very public platform? yes. do I also never ever want the creators of said content to be aware of or god forbid interact with said content? also yes.

the idea that people want to be observed by their favourite celebrities is incomprehensible to me. can you imagine being on a platform like twitter where creators directly judging you for your opinions is not only possible but culturally acceptable? unthinkable.

that’s why i am on tumblr. this is a safe space. no self respecting celebrity would use this hellsite in an official capacity, and its lack of verified accounts and general anonymity would make it difficult anyway. the author might not be dead but the doors are barricaded.
