Do YOU have any plans for the summer?

Yes? No? Well either way do you want to take a quick trip to Hell? It'll only be for an eternity!

My friends and I will be hosting a File-Recovery themed discord RP this summer! The events won't be canonical to any story I will make buuut if you enjoy my art, angels, demons, and lore, you might enjoy this!

Premise is as follows:

You haven't really lived the best life on Earth, in fact many would call it a pretty bad one. Hard to argue when you've landed up in Hell after whatever snuffed your lights out. It's not a great place to be on account of all the torture and misery. However, when an offer comes your way for a chance to leave, it may be too tempting to resist.

The server is 18+ (sfw but discussions of sex and instances of body horror may occur) so dm if you are interested and I will send you a link!

holding on by a god damn thread

i don’t know how many people on tumblr know about “verticals” - they’re cheaply made soap operas that are filmed vertically so you can watch them on your phone. they’re infamous in the acting world because of the poor writing and nonsensical plots - almost always has something to do with a mafia boss or a vampire or a werewolf - and they always have insane titles like “pregnant with the ceo’s baby” or “forced to marry the alpha king.” i come across tons of them on casting websites and they all have wild titles and descriptions but none of them, None of Them, have truly grabbed me like the title i saw today:

i just really enjoy characters who aren’t just “weird” but who genuinely experience the world differently than most people especially wrt how they experience their own emotions like i will always be a sucker for characters who don’t really know if they CAN experience “normal” emotions figuring out how they can relate to other people etc. and i basically never enjoy the “solution” to this being assimilation or like exceptionalism of a love interest character. i never want to see a character realize that they’re experiencing “normal” romantic feelings but the tension and possible conflict of “idk if i can even feel love like that but this might be the closest i can get” do you see the difference??? and i also love low empathy characters and never want to see a low empathy character get “positive character development” where they can suddenly feel empathy like “normal” i want them to be bad at it forever okay thank you

Damn the perceived world sounds cool as hell

(blue is average of people’s estimate of percentage of population of which x is true, and red is the actual percentage)

[misanthropiccatboy]

I appreciate how it’s perceived jews are 30% of the population, muslims are 27% of the population, and atheists are 33% of the population. nobody wondered why christians were 10% huh

[cop-disliker69]

I honestly don’t even think this is as much “minorities being extremely visible”, and more just that the most people don’t understand fractions and statistics.

To most people, anything less than 10%, in any context, is basically “insignificant, not even worth your attention.”

The idea that Asians could be “only” 4% of the US population, and yet you still see a couple Asian people every day of your life, is deeply counterintuitive to most people. People don’t truly grasp that they pass by hundreds if not thousands of strangers every day and about 1 in 25 of them are going to be Asian.

Right now annual inflation is at a pretty high 9%, which is more than triple what the usual inflation rate is. But I guarantee if you asked the average person on the street what the inflation rate is right now, they’d think prices have gone up by anywhere from like 30-100%, because “9%” just doesn’t feel like a substantial or noticeable amount in their minds, even though it is.

[jabberwockypie]

This reminds me of a different post I saw recently, wherein OP was - understandably - irked that so many professionals will characterize something that affects 1%-2% of the population as “a rare illness”. In actuality, if you’re in a lecture hall with 300 people, that means 3-6 of people who are in the same room with you. It means you might meet people with [disorder] every day, and not realize it.

[chthonic-pain]

reblogging for that last comment. I’ve been saying this for years

[whitefangthefightingwolf]

same thing with “only” 1% of the world is trans, and “only” 1% of the world is ace. I saw somewhere on here that if you do the math, there’s more trans people than there are Canadians. This is where the jokes about aces conquering Denmark/Belgium/the Netherlands come from. There are more aces than the populations of some countries.

Larry Walters of Los Angeles is one of the few to contend for the Darwin Awards and live to tell the tale.

When his friends cut the cord anchoring the lawnchair to his Jeep, he did not float lazily up to 30 feet. Instead he streaked into the LA sky as if shot from a cannon. He didn’t level off at 100 feet, nor did he level off at 1000 feet. After climbing and climbing, he leveled off at 16,000 feet.

At that height he felt he couldn’t risk shooting any of the balloons. So he stayed there, drifting cold and frightened with his beer and sandwiches, for more than 14 hours. He crossed the primary approach corridor of LAX, where startled Trans World Airlines and Delta Airlines pilots radioed in reports of the strange sight.

Eventually he gathered the nerve to shoot a few balloons, and slowly descended. Larry was then arrested. Larry’s efforts won him a $1,500 FAA fine, a prize from the Bonehead Clubof Dallas, the altitude record for gas-filled clustered balloons, and a Darwin Awards At-Risk Survivor.
