psyduck is probably like. the most achievable pokemon probably. like i don’t think i could teach a cabbage to grow legs and be a bulbasaur but there’s probably a certain threshold of mental torment i could subject a duck to that would make a psyduck

Offense intended, some of you are dumb
Like some of you are whole adults who still believe that the world operates in extremes of What Is Good and What Is Bad and that these things exist at polar opposite ends of a straight road, where every possible morally ambiguous thing must fit tidily along that line.
Someone will make the very reasonable point that Hollywood is oversexualised and often sex scenes in movies are uncomfortable because the tone and characterisations don't support the plot halting for sex, and it's clear the (usually male) director just inserted the scene for his own gratification, often with an unevenly sexualized attention on the women in the scene, sometimes demeaning or undermining that woman's character arc... and some of you demons will respond to that like "Bah! You naive puritan! Go marry the Hayes code if you love it so much!"
And equally someone else will make the valid point that sex and eroticism should be explorable in media, particularly to increase representation for queer/disabled/poc groups who often have limited (or no) sexual agency in mainstream media, and these scenes should not be subject to censorship... and some self described Smol Bean on this site will tell you that sex is never necessary on screen and you can just "suggest" that these "activities" are happening
And instead of being moderate and critically thinking individuals, thousands of you will just grab your pitchforks and flock to one of these two extreme reactions as being the "correct" mentality, sending hate (Why??) to people who disagree with you as if any of us here have meaningful power over how sex is handled in popular media
Any way long story short you're being dumb
ever since i heard the phrase “outrage addiction” a *lot* of online behavior has really been clicking into place for me. because like, righteous anger feels good. to feel like you’re fighting for a cause is another avenue for dopamine production. and places like twitter and facebook get that and understand that outrage is a great method for maintaining engagement on their platform, which is why their algorithms drive it. but republicans also understand it and have been using it as their core political strategy for decades, and you see it replicated on this hellsite plenty as well, although probably less consciously/more organically than elsewhere. it feels good to be justifiably angry and to tear something down, and i think a lot of users have begun to seek that out without realizing that’s what they’re doing.

This was originally meant to be a joke for night one, but my family asked yesterday, so I booted enough of them to do night five. Might have to swap out one of the older ones if I want to do night eight 😅

Here it is folks:
My definitive ranking of my least favorite bodies of water! These are ranked from least to most scary (1/10 is okay, 10/10 gives me nightmares). I’m sorry this post is long, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this.
The Great Blue Hole, Belize
I’ve been here! I have snorkeled over this thing! It is terrifying! The water around the hole is so shallow you can’t even swim over the coral without bumping it, and then there’s a little slope down, and then it just fucking drops off into the abyss! When you’re over the hole the water temperature drops like 10 degrees and it’s midnight blue even when you’re right by the surface. Anyway. The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater cave, and its roughly 410 feet deep. Overall, it’s a relatively safe area to swim. It’s a popular tourist attraction and recreational divers can even go down and explore some of the caves. People do die at the Blue Hole, but it is generally from a lack of diving experience rather than anything sinister going on down in the depths. My rating for this one is 1/10 because I’ve been here and although it’s kinda freaky it’s really not that bad.
Lake Baikal, Russia
When I want to give myself a scare I look at the depth diagram of this lake. It’s so deep because it’s not a regular lake, it’s a Rift Valley, A massive crack in the earth’s crust where the continental plates are pulling apart. It’s over 5,000 feet deep and contains one-fifth of all freshwater on Earth. Luckily, its not any more deadly than a normal lake. It just happens to be very, very, freakishly deep. My rating for this lake is a 2/10 because I really hate looking at the depth charts but just looking at the lake itself isn’t that scary.
Jacob’s Well, Texas
This “well” is actually the opening to an underwater cave system. It’s roughly 120 feet deep, surrounded by very shallow water. This area is safe to swim in, but diving into the well can be deadly. The cave system below has false exits and narrow passages, resulting in multiple divers getting trapped and dying. My rating is a 3/10, because although I hate seeing that drop into the abyss it’s a pretty safe place to swim as long as you don’t go down into the cave (which I sure as shit won’t).
The Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota
This is an area in the Brule River where half the river just disappears. It literally falls into a hole and is never seen again. Scientists have dropped in dye, ping pong balls, and other things to try and figure out where it goes, and the things they drop in never resurface. Rating is 4/10 because Sometimes I worry I’m going to fall into it.
Flathead Lake, Montana
Everyone has probably seen this picture accompanied by a description about how this lake is actually hundreds of feet deep but just looks shallow because the water is so clear. If that were the case, this would definitely rank higher, but that claim is mostly bull. Look at the shadow of the raft. If it were hundreds of feet deep, the shadow would look like a tiny speck. Flathead lake does get very deep, but the spot the picture was taken in is fairly shallow. You can’t see the bottom in the deep parts. However, having freakishly clear water means you can see exactly where the sandy bottom drops off into blackness, so this still ranks a 5/10.
The Lower Congo River, multiple countries
Most of the Congo is a pretty normal, if large, River. In the lower section of it, however, lurks a disturbing surprise: massive underwater canyons that plunge down to 720 feet. The fish that live down there resemble cave fish, having no color, no eyes, and special sensory organs to find their way in the dark. These canyons are so sheer that they create massive rapids, wild currents and vortexes that can very easily kill you if you fall in. A solid 6/10, would not go there.
Little Crater Lake, Oregon
On first glance this lake doesn’t look too scary. It ranks this high because I really don’t like the sheer drop off and how clear it is (because it shows you exactly how deep it goes). This lake is about 100 feet across and 45 feet deep, and I strongly feel that this is too deep for such a small lake. Also, the water is freezing, and if you fall into the lake your muscles will seize up and you’ll sink and drown. I don’t like that either. 7/10.
Grand Turk 7,000 ft drop off
No. 8/10. I hate it.
Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scotland
Due to a quirk in the sea floor, there is a permanent whirlpool here. This isn’t one of those things that looks scary but actually won’t hurt you, either. It absolutely will suck you down if you get too close. Scientists threw a mannequin with a depth gauge into it and when it was recovered the gauge showed it went down to over 600 feet. If you fall into this whirlpool you will die. 9/10 because this seems like something that should only be in movies.
The Bolton Strid, England
This looks like an adorable little creek in the English countryside but it’s not. Its really not. Statistically speaking, this is the most deadly body of water in the world. It has a 100% mortality rate. There is no recorded case of anyone falling into this river and coming out alive. This is because, a little ways upstream, this isn’t a cute little creek. It’s the River Wharfe, a river approximately 30 feet wide. This river is forced through a tiny crack in the earth, essentially turning it on its side. Now, instead of being 30 feet wide and 6 feet deep, it’s 6 feet wide and 30 feet deep (estimated, because no one actually knows how deep the Strid is). The currents are deadly fast. The banks are extremely undercut and the river has created caves, tunnels and holes for things (like bodies) to get trapped in. The innocent appearance of the Strid makes this place a death trap, because people assume it’s only knee-deep and step in to never be seen again. I hate this river. I have nightmares about it. I will never go to England just because I don’t want to be in the same country as this people-swallowing stream. 10/10, I live in constant fear of this place.
Honorable mention: The Quarry, Pennsylvania
I don’t know if that’s it’s actual name. This lake gets an honorable mention not because it’s particularly deep or dangerous, but it’s where I almost drowned during a scuba diving accident.
why do rich people need more money? honestly, has anyone actually ever asked them? every interview with a muli-millionaire or billionaire is always the same bullshit ego stroking questions like“so whats the secret to success? how did you overcome the adversity of being born in to the upper middle class? did you always know you were better than everyone else?”
like enough is enough, the only questions they should be asked is real questions like “why do you need to horde money you and your family will never use? why are you wasting your only time on earth destroying it and causing suffering? when did you completely lose your empathy? when did you realize you are the embodiment of everything horrible and wrong with the world?”
