brown eyes (beautiful)
are you fucking stupid
blue eyes are the sign of the devil
What about green eyes? Are they also beautiful or just brown eyes’ weird cousin?
green eyes are the sign of the devil
i think a lot of liberal or left leaning adults who were extremely online as children view efforts to curb the amount of noxious shit kids are exposed to online as “puritan pearl clutching” because “they turned out okay” after being mostly unsupervised as kids, but then a lot of them are miserably depressed and suffering long term emotional and psychological damage from the fucking avalanche of bigotry they were exposed to on 4chan or reddit or kiwifarms or encyclopediadramatica or somethingawful or whatever. like putting aside that the online ecoystem is TOTALLY different now and it is a lot easier for kids to just suddenly end up on nazi youtube than it was for you as a kid to navigate the labyrinth of late 90s/early 2000s internet, a lot of you VERY CLEARLY did not turn out okay, and that’s not even getting into the fact that other adults like you who were extremely online like you are the ones who are radicalizing teenagers now! where do you think they absorbed all of that propaganda, actually? do you think analog modes of communication is how we got to gamergate? figure it the fuck out

RB IF YOU AGREE
She had third degree burns on her genitals, needed a skin graft to repair the damage and was permanently disfigured, and left disabled for two years. Part of her original $20,000 claim was for her daughter's lost income while she cared for her. Also, there were 700 previous complaints of people being burned by McDonald's coffee, which they quietly paid off. They offered Liebeck $800.
Stella Liebeck was 79 years old at the time of the incident, and the settlement helped her pay for a live-in nurse as she was partially disabled for two full years after being so badly burned she went into shock. She passed away in 2004 with little to no quality of life per her own daughter. She originally sought $20,000 dollars to cover her eight day hospital stay (including skin graphs) and compensation for her daughter's lost wages after she spent three weeks providing round-the-clock care.
Incidently, liquids served at 190 degrees is capable of causing third degree burns--which cause severe, permanent damage all the way to the muscle layer--within 3 seconds of contact with human skin. If you have a strong stomach, you can even find photographic evidence of her wounds with a quick google search. This didn't stop almost every major news outlet perpetuating MacDonald's coordinated smear campaign against her. MacDonalds' justification for this was basically, well, all fast food is hot and we have better things to worry about. Literally. This deliberately manufactured overly litigious gold digger stereotype is still remembered today via the Stella Awards, which mocks all the "frivolous" lawsuits against your favorite brands. Named after a little old lady who was permanently disfigured and handicapped from a ridiculously dangerous product.
Classy.
Never, ever take a corporation's side over a private citizen when lawsuits are involved.
She eventually died under the care of a live-in nurse from infection complications due to the fact that the damage had to be treated repeatedly over multiple years. While being mocked *worldwide* and constantly hassled by the media. The last few years of this woman's life were a miserable hell because McDonald's was too cheap to pay her medical costs when she asked.
Not just that--the last few years of her life were miserable because McDonald’s was too cheap to throw away old coffee.
Everyone should watch the documentary Hot Coffee. Starts out with a pretty thorough explanation of the McDonald's vs. Liebeck incident & case, then dives into how the idea of the ~perpetual victim who wants to sue everyone and get free money with frivolous lawsuits~ is a myth and that tort reform has made it harder for people with actual harm done to them to get compensation for it.

Dude just stop climbing mount everest. just stop it. Wtf
Not sure if this is a shitpost but we really do need to stop climbing mount everest. It’s largely pointless and we’ve made a huge ecological impact of years from waste left behind from all exhibitions. Not to mention the economic impact on locals
people in the notes are trying to imply this is good, normal, natural, and not something to be discouraged, so uh… lets break this down
obvious warnings for discussions of death
pollution
there are mountains of literal shit on everest. i can only assume people forget that everest is freezing and so poop wont break down the same way as it will when youre camping (or that they dont want to carry bags of poo around). this contaminates glaciers which has began to cause damage to the water supplies of nearby local villages
similarly there are mountains of rubbish. in 2015, it was reported that yearly clean up efforts had removed 15,000kg of rubbish and 800kg of human waste from everest.
because of the high altitude, a bag of poo or rubbish becomes so heavy to carry that it would be deadly to do so.
pollution thanks to littering is a growing problem and one that is hard to fix because of the above point – “Even picking up a candy wrapper high up on the mountain is a lot of effort, because it’s totally frozen and you have to dig around it,”
tourist privilege
to the average english speaker, “sherpa” has come to mean guide, despite the fact it is a name for an ethnic group.
300 people have died on everest and the last year without a death was 1977. 111 of those deaths are people from nepal.
sad as it is to say, for tourism and money flow to keep coming in, it looks better for native guides to die than for the tourists to die. sherpas bend over backwards trying to help those they are assigned to
sherpas are often treated incredibly poorly by those they are assigned to, despite breaking their back (and risking their lives) to try and help
sherpas often have to support inexperienced tourists (who are on everest for some fuckin reason), making the already dangerous summit even more so. some of these tourists dont even know how to tie basic safety knots.
many sherpa guides work in the industry not because they want to but because they can make 10x the average wage in nepal doing it.
many of the deaths of tourists are down to doing extreme things for an ego boost, such as climbing without oxygen.
the corpses
should you die on everest you will likely remain there. “A dead body that normally weighs 80kg might weigh 150kg when frozen and dug out with the surrounding ice attached.” the risk to others isnt worth it, in most cases
furthermore, if you cant be found or your family cant organise rescue quickly, rescue may become impossible due to you literally becoming stuck to the mountain.
sherpas have reported how emotionally and mentally difficult finding these bodies is and plenty of them have died trying to bring people home
the difficulty in retrieving corpses means that many are left, mummified and frozen, in public view. it is common to find bodies when climbing which has proven to be difficult for many climbers
people who have climbed everest have gone out their way to say the media isnt being sensationalist about this, for once, and its as deadly and filled with corpses and rubbish as it is reported to be.
death is incredibly normalised on the mountain. a british man, famously, huddled with a corpse in a cave bid to survive. 40 climbers passed him and very few attempted to help, despite him being alive. why? most assumed he was a corpse and so didnt check.
this normalisation is why some corpses have gained names and become markers. green boots is the most famous, but the german woman and sleeping beauty are other examples. a stretch of the climb has been called “rainbow ridge” due to the bright colours of jackets belonging to corpses that poke through the snow.
tourism
more than 4,000 have climbed everest. while thats barely any compared to the overall global population, it definitely isnt the impressive, one of a kind feat it once was.
most people actually die AFTER getting to the top, not on the way there.
2019 was the deadliest year on everest since 2006, excluding years where deaths were largely due to natural disasters.
tour companies do not screen you for experience, anyone can sign up to go up mount everest. this means incredibly inexperienced climbers have become common, causing danger to themselves and others.
nepal also has no rules for who can climb the mountain.
until this year, the nepal government turned a blind eye to most of this. presumably, for them, the money income was worth it.
in 2012 it was reported that overcrowding was becoming a major issue, causing many to die that year. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed. nothing was done. in 2019 we heard the same story.
2019s viral photo of the crowd climbing. people died waiting in this crowd. people stepped over the dying and dead to make it to the top. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed, once again.
people fight to take selfies at the top
theft has been reported by climbers on the mountain
the demand has meant dodgy equipment has found its way onto expeditions. climbers reported oxygen tanks leaking and exploding.
psychology
people who have been rescued have been reported saying that they wished they had died; that the disfigurements to their body and the way such has changed their lives werent worth it
people have had their families die struggle never getting a body back
climbing over dead bodies, using them as markers, and even sharing a tent with one, has proven to be difficult for some who climb
the family of the man thought to be green boots has discussed how horrid it is to them that their sons dead body is posted online.
these thoughts were echoed by the family of the woman who came to be called the sleeping beauty.
you really think all that is natural and normal?
in what world is everest worth it
everest has become a colonialist playground. mountaineering is supposed to be about adventure, about conquering something very few people can, about athleticism and bravery. now, climbing everest is about rich people, many of whom do not belong on the mountain because they do not have the skills or experience required, paying poor local people to carry them up the mountains. if it really was about the adventure, you would go climb k2, annapurna, the mountains that arent tourist attractions (yet) . it’s not about adventure and challenge, its about bragging rights, and poor brown people are dying to drag your inexperienced asses up the mountain.
