Coming from the mindset of alchemy, and this being the 17th century, that would’ve been genuinely terrifying and awe-inspiring. Would anyone at that time have ever seen any form of artificial light besides fire?

“Now comes the exquisite twist”

[invisiblefoxfire]

Here’s a transcription, as the text in the image is way too small:

Murder or Suicide?

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story.

On March 23, 1993 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide.

He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency.

As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.

“Ordinarily,” Dr Mills continued, “A person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide.” That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.

In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject “A: but kills subject “B” in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject “B.”

When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, if the gun had been accidentally loaded.

The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son’s financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.

Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn’t actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist.

Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother’s murder. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as suicide.

A true story from Associated Press, Reported by Kurt Westervelt.

Bizarre or what?

Still amazing how when American internet privacy was being invaded you had posts on it with like 10k notes, but I have yet to see a single post discussing the new age verification system for Europeans. You have to send in a picture of your id or your credit card info. To google. Because of some supposed laws. They could have implemented it so many other ways.

To add insult to injury, things like history documentaries got marked as explicit. Another got marked explicit because it contained the word fuck exactly once.

Like, hello? Americans??? You gonna reblog any posts about that or nah???

[anti-anti-a-la-bi-bi]

As for what it looks like for us, because a few people asked for confirmation on the age restriction;

This is what it looks like for us.

And here is a link leading to information on the law used to justify this crap;

These days we can watch our favourite programmes not just on TV, but also online. These shows are subject to the rules of the single market.

A few notes on current solutions;

-> newpipe is also refusing to play some age restricted videos.

-> protonvpn no longer works

-> nsfwyoutube often does not work

-> it is possible to install an extension to counter it, which can be found in the notes. On mobile this can possibly be done, but I do not know for sure.

-> 9xbuddy can supposedly be used to download age restricted videos.

-> f-roid has also been suggested. I have not yet tested it.

-> someone also just... Edited over the picture of their ID, since the pictures are mostly handled by AI which aren't very smart. If you try this, tell me if you used a funny name and picture!

/Additionally, about the last part of the original post, that was me just being incredibly frustrated about people just seeming to ignore non-USAmerican news. It was not intended as a personal attack or guilt trip.\

[anti-anti-a-la-bi-bi]

To everyone going; "yeah, duhh, this is an American site."

Most social media is American.

Within the Netherlands, facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram are used the most(with Whatsapp at the top).

None of the social media we have is purely Dutch, and the same goes for many other countries. The internet as a whole is often US-centric(Fun fact though, more than half of all data centers are in the Netherlands.).

We know. We are still allowed to be annoyed that European news is often just not circulated.

[h3l1c3]

You can circumvent this by finding a decent looking ID on google image search, editing your info to match the ID and then using it for identification.

I am so grateful that there's only like 3 people working at google, everything is handled by algorithms and AI.

[chara-is-baby]

For every 100 notes I get on this I will make it longer

[chara-is-baby]

300 notes lets go guys

[chara-is-baby]

400 notes and counting

[chara-is-baby]

500 notes and we ain’t stopping

[chara-is-baby]

600 and still going strong

[chara-is-baby]

700 and as tall as I could make it on ibis paint. Now I will have to look for a new app to continue my mayhem

[chara-is-baby]

Congrats on 1,100 notes yall. In celebration we’re upping the ante to extending it every 500 notes. You already have a headstart, but you better get reblogging!

Image Descriptions

[Image 1: A Screenshot of an invitation to a Facebook group named: “A group where we all pretend to be ants in an ant colony.” Under that is a post in the group that reads: “We reached the center of the Earth. Now what?” Four people commented saying one word each in this order: scurry, dig, work, melt. These words are in capital letters and have spaces between each letter.]

[Image 2: Another Screenshot of a post in the group that reads: “It has come to my attention that when we put the spaces in-between letters it makes it difficult for visually impaired ants to know what we’re saying and so I was wondering if we could try to make this group more accessible for them. (The text to voice can’t figure out what we are saying with the spaces) (Picture of an ant for attention)” This text is then followed by a close up picture of an ant.]

[Image 3: A screenshot of some comments on the post in Image 2. Five people commented: adapt, adapt, inclusion, love adapt, adapt. These words are in capital letters and have no spaces between the letters.]

End of IDs.

Please do not reblog this post without image descriptions! The irony of sharing undescribed images that talk about inclusivity for the visually impaired is… Painful.

Autumn is here, folks, and your local Iowan is here to remind you of the basic principles of Corn Maze Safety:

Make sure you go with a partner! You don’t want to be alone and lost in the maze!

Take a map! You may want to try navigate on your own, but it’s best to keep a guide handy in case you lose your way!

Bring a water bottle with a sealed top! It will keep you hydrated, and the closed top will stop any water from spilling on the thirsty corn. Remember, thirsty corn is docile corn!

Wear long sleeves! Although dead leaves aren’t quite as sharp as green leaves, they can still cut you. And they will, if you give them the chance.

If a stalk does draw blood, spill some water from your bottle on the ground near its roots and move on. Hopefully, the water will quench its thirst long enough for you to escape.

Be careful what you eat before you go into the maze! Avoid cornstarch, corn syrup, and all corn products. The corn can smell itself in your blood.

Remember, scarecrows are there for YOUR protection. As long as the corn thinks you’re with others, it won’t make any sudden moves.

If you see a scarecrow wave, wave back. It gets lonely, and you will too if you’re not kind.

If you are alone in a cornfield, pretend you’re talking to a friend! The plants have ears, but no eyes, and they are easily fooled. Get out before they catch wise!

The breeze is lying to you; don’t listen to it. It cannot lead you home.

If you’re lost, look to the sun for directions, not the shadows. The shadows like to watch you struggle.

Never, ever walk off the provided paths! The paths are safe routes carefully created by the farmer. If you leave the path, you may never see it again.

Keep an eye on the time while wandering! You don’t want to be in a cornfield after dark. You really don’t.

In a pinch, many people try praying to the Harvest God for assistance. This is often a poor choice; you’re just as likely to be harvested as you are to be helped.

If you see a single green corn stalk among the brown, turn around. You don’t want to know how it keeps itself warm in the cold.

Remember, Corn Mazes can be fun autumnal activities if you’re careful! Just follow these simple rules and you’ll almost certainly make it home.

"ADHD is only a disability because of capitalism" is literally how ADHD people are assessed and it's ableist.

I'd still struggle with basic chores of looking after myself and my house. I'd struggle with holding down a job needed to benefit a communist society. I'd struggle to regulate my emotions and not get over/under stimulated. I'd struggle with impulsivity more and burn out and disassociating. I'd struggle to keep on top of my studies.

Executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity and hyperactivity, as well as inattentiveness, forgetfulness, careless mistakes, the struggle to take care of yourself, as well as a lot of other things people with ADHD have to deal with each day wouldn't just go away if society became anything else that wasn't capitalist.

We'd still struggle and need accommodations. ADHD isnt just "people who struggle under a capitalist society" because we all struggle under a capitalist society. ADHD affects every aspect of our lives just like any other disability so stop belittling it
