If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

[teaboot]

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so good drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.

Best Mega Evolution Tournament- Round 1: Match 2

Mega Latias vs Mega Medicham

Mega Latias

Mega Medicham

Remaining time: 6 days 6 hours

And the second of our first two matches today is a face off of two more Psychic type Megas, both from Generation 3!

Mega Latias, one of the Eon Duo now boosted with power, is allegedly one of the fastest Pokémon in existence! She can reach speeds of up to mach 4, with her body resembling a jet plane. Latias in this form also resembles her brother more too, with both Pokémon eschewing their traditional colours for a more neutral purple. Despite the apparent feat of speed though, Mega Latias' base stats are actully geared towards Special Defense and Special Attack- though with a respectable 110 Speed all the same. As she flies, Mega Latias is said to drop transparent down over the battlefield, confusing her enemies! But of course, we also all remember Mega Latias fondly for her role in Alpha Sapphire, where she carried players across the skies of Hoenn. That's definitely earned her some goodwill, can that win her some matches?

Going up against the Legendary is Mega Medicham! When Medicham mega evolves, it's said that its mental power becomes limitless. What that means in practice though is not that it has powerful Special Attacks, but rather its physical hits are augmented by its Pure Power to do massive damage! With a base Attack of 100, when trained to its fullest potential it becomes functionally equivalent to a base Attack of 250! It's hard to find any Pokémon that can hit harder than that. Of course, with Legends Z-A not having any abilities, Mega Medicham's power was supplemented to adjust for the lack of Pure Power, which has been readjusted once more in Pokémon Champions. The arms that Mega Medicham generates with its power are imbued with malevolent power, and become more realistic the more Medicham trains its spirit- so don't mess with them! It's another exceedingly powerful Pokémon, but will it win in this match?

Best Mega Evolution Tournament- Round 1: Match 1

Mega Victreebel vs Mega Mewtwo X

Mega Victreebel

Mega Mewtwo X

Remaining time: 6 days 6 hours

Let's get down to business with this new tournament, kicking things off with a match between an original Gen 6 Mega and a new Z-A addition!

Our very first contestant is Mega Victreebel, one of the first new Mega Evolutions revealed to us before the release of Legends Z-A. Victreebel has gone a long time without a new form, or regional variant, but now it's getting some of the love it's missed out on! When it mega evolves, Mega Victreebel becomes overflowing with its sickly sweet scented acid, barely able to contain it all by wrapping vines around its throat! Be careful when fighting it too, as its Innards Out ability will knock out the foe who takes it down if they're low on health. Not a creature I'd want to meet in real life for sure, but maybe worthy of a vote?

And our next contestant is another Pokémon from Generation 1 that got an upgrade- though Mewtwo was already powerful before the Mewtwonite X! This take on Mewtwo sees its potent psychic abilities matched with powerful muscles and blistering speed. It's said to have a grip strength of 1 ton, and is able to run 100 meters in 2 seconds flat, and with a base stat total of 780, it is tied for the second highest base stat total in the game- tied with its Y counterpart and Mega Rayquaza, and only beaten by Eternamax Eternatus. Mega Mewtwo X also gains the Fighting Type, making it the Pokémon of that type with the highest Special Attack. But more impressively, its crazy 190 base Attack is the highest of any known Pokémon species to date! I wouldn't want to face this one in a fight, Pokémon battle or otherwise! Does its overwhelming power translate to popularity though?

And this, in one video segment, is why I find heavily policed gendered spaces online deeply abhorrent.

If someone is trying to figure out how they fit in to the big picture, denying them 80% of that picture is cruelty.

the gag where Columbo pulls up to high-class celebrities’ multi million dollar mansions in his ancient beat-up falling-apart wreck of a car never ceases to be hilarious to me. he arrives with the intent of annoying the murderer into a confession as his car actively falls apart on their perfectly manicured lawn. half of the time he brings along his slobbering dog. sometimes they find him dangling from a tree or elbows deep in their garden. truly chaos goblin energy to the max
