laptop overheating?? pour water on it to cool it down!

i trusted you

Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people

Pour water? Just add water let me grow?

Siraj’s family is between disappointment and hope

When the hope of returning home evaporates, and you become displaced and displaced without housing, for an open term, and without a date for the end of the tragedy, you feel that all your energy has been exhausted, and terrifying nightmares begin to dominate your mind.😔

I worked long hours and borrowed a lot to complete the house, and I am not happy with it yet. Now all I have is the tent, in which I will remain until an unknown date. I have lost the house that could have protected us from the humiliation of homelessness and misery in the ruins of Gaza if life had been given to us.😢

My children are living in a state of despair and loss, with no education or recreational games, and how difficult it is to stand in front of them when you are unable to provide them with food, drink, and housing.😭

Some pictures of the effects of the house’s destruction

The tent we currently live in is a convection oven

This is the place where we prepare our food. It has a clay oven and needs wood daily.

My young son, Muhammad, is tired of frightening, polluted water in which diseases and epidemics spread, but there is no alternative to that

My goal now is to rebuild the house, and I am very far from the goal that has become a big dream for me. I ask you for your help, participation, and serious attention. How difficult it is to become homeless indefinitely.💔

YO MOTHERFUCKER YOU’RE NEVER GONNA GUESS WHAT BUT GOOGLE IS FREE 😱😱😱

This makes it canon wether you like it or not.

Her being asexual doesn’t mean she can’t have sex. It is canon she had sex with Gale in D2. Asexuality is a spectrum. Also, people with huge traumas, even if asexual, can start using sex as a coping mechanism, WHICH DOESN’T MAKE THEM ANY LESS ASEXUAL.

Fuck you bestloversfan, you goddamn, stupid, good-for-nothing, booger eater, idiotic, useless piece of shit waist of hair that is if you’re not fucking bald. I may sound pissed. That’s because I AM angry. I am angry at the fact that the year is 2024 and people are still so fucking homophobic that they REFUSE use Google to check their shit before talking.

Well fuck that. Asexual people deserve representation. Despite the bigotry.

I’m sorry but I will never ever use goon as slang for a guy who jacks off a lot or whatever it apparently means now. A goon is a guy in a clown mask and purple tank top who sees a caped crusader swooping down to beat up him and his buddies and yells “IT’S DA FREAKIN’ BAT!” and I will accept nothing else.

This is what I think of when I hear “goons”

these are goons

maybe the problem w remakes of old kitschy sci-fi shows is that sci-fi means something fundamentally different than it did when these stories were made, it’s almost a different genre now bc the level of fantasy dramatically goes down the more scientists do the shit we were dreaming about. If u wana do justice by trek u need to remember that it was almost entirely about magic. Automatic doors were magic. Food recycling was magic. people hanging out in space for long periods of time was magic and thats why they dressed like gay cyber wizards and that’s why if u don’t let them dress like gay cyber wizards ur missing the point

Seeing a lot of people not from the uk not understanding who Larry the Cat is and his role in UK politics

Larry the Cat is no. 10’s official mouser. He lives at No. 10 and catches mice. He has held this position for over a decade

When shit is going down and all the news crews are hanging outside no. 10 waiting for something to happen he’s usually also hanging around outside so when there’s not much visual happening but they don’t want to cut away from the outside of No. 10 we all just watch Larry

He is often seen standing by the door waiting to be let in

He is the most competent person at No. 10

Prime minister come and go, Larry shall remain

Larry has been at Number 10 for about fifteen years. Larry has outlasted the Tory Government, and we love this for him.

He also has a neighbour in the Treasury Building! This is Gladstone, the chief civil servant:

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they’re allowed to go to extremes. they’re allowed to put their love over the greater good. they’re allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

As a brown trans boy it sucked so badly to watch those “gender envy” slides on tik tok and see only white boys with fluffy hair. It was a little thing but it made me feel invisible even in my own community. So these are men that look like me and give me gender envy. If you’re POC disabled/ don’t see your self in common trans discussions feel free to add on.

great-and-small:

When I was in vet school I went to this one lecture that I will never forget. Various clubs would have different guest lecturers come in to talk about relevant topics and since I was in the Wildlife Disease Association club I naturally attended all the wildlife and conservation discussions. Well on this particular occasion, the speakers started off telling us they had been working on a project involving the conservation of lemurs in Madagascar. Lemurs exist only in Madagascar, and they are in real trouble; they’re considered the most endangered group of mammals on Earth. This team of veterinarians was initially assembled to address threats to lemur health and work on conservation solutions to try and save as many lemur species from extinction as possible. As they explored the most present dangers to lemurs they found that although habitat loss was the primary problem for these vulnerable animals, predation by humans was a significant cause of losses as well. The vets realized it was crucial for the hunting of lemurs by native people to stop, but of course this is not so simple a problem.

The local Malagasy people are dealing with extreme poverty and food insecurity, with nearly half of children under five years old suffering from chronic malnutrition. The local people have always subsisted on hunting wildlife for food, and as Madagascar’s wildlife population declines, the people who rely on so-called bushmeat to survive are struggling more and more. People are literally starving.

Our conservation team thought about this a lot. They had initially intended to focus efforts on education but came to understand that this is not an issue arising from a lack of knowledge. For these people it is a question of survival. It doesn’t matter how many times a foreigner tells you not to eat an animal you’ve hunted your entire life, if your child is starving you are going to do everything in your power to keep your family alive.

So the vets changed course. Rather than focus efforts on simply teaching people about lemurs, they decided to try and use veterinary medicine to reduce the underlying issue of food insecurity. They supposed that if a reliable protein source could be introduced for the people who needed it, the dependence on meat from wildlife would greatly decrease. So they got to work establishing new flocks of chickens in the most at-risk communities, and also initiated an aggressive vaccination program for Newcastle disease (an infectious illness of poultry that is of particular concern in this area). They worked with over 600 households to ensure appropriate husbandry and vaccination for every flock, and soon found these communities were being transformed by the introduction of a steady protein source. Families with a healthy flock of chickens were far less likely to hunt wild animals like lemurs, and fewer kids went hungry. Thats what we call a win-win situation.

This chicken vaccine program became just one small part of an amazing conservation outreach initiative in Madagascar that puts local people at the center of everything they do. Helping these vulnerable communities of people helps similarly vulnerable wildlife, always. If we go into a country guns-blazing with that fire for conservation in our hearts and a plan to save native animals, we simply cannot ignore the humans who live around them. Doing so is counterintuitive to creating an effective plan because whether we recognize it or not, humans and animals are inextricably linked in many ways. A true conservation success story is one that doesn’t leave needy humans in its wake, and that is why I think this particular story has stuck with me for so long.

Customer started yelling at me because I was 1 minute late to open the shop so I banned him from shopping with us and locked the door on him. Play stupid games.

This man had the audacity to come back at the end of the day as I was closing up by the fucking way. Ranting and raving about how he had been mistreated and that no one had even bothered to reply to his complaint email all day

Well I had the UNBRIDLED joy of informing him that not only had I seen his email, which was insanely abusive towards me for the crime of being 1 minute late and not putting up with his shit first thing in the morning, but that I was also the manager who he demanded to speak to, and I’d now also had our IT team block his IP address from being able to contact us or order with us ever again.

When you’ve been cooking for long enough, you stop making recipes and start making “shit in a skillet” and “whatever soup”

The truth is, cooking is just a basic skill set, and once you have that skill set down you can make almost anything. It’s like drawing/painting, once you learn what you’re doing, you can do anything.

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it’s stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a “man nipple” (can be shown) and a “woman nipple” (no no must obscure, ‘tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that’s the moment when it becomes a woman’s nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it’s the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.

“Free the Nipple” was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can’t is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that’s on you.

OH FUCK YALL THOUGHT I WAS *ARMED GUARD*????

BRUHHHHHHHH

  1. I’m the lowest level licensed security you can hire
  2. I work foot patrol for shit like wet cement, construction sites, malls, libraries, outreach centers, and local events
  3. My job is, essentially, human scarecrow
  4. I am not permitted to carry a gun.
  5. I am not permitted to carry a taser.
  6. I am not permitted to carry pepper spray.
  7. I am not permitted to carry a baton
  8. I am not permitted to carry a knife or any multitool containing a knife
  9. I don’t have a plate vest
  10. I’m not permitted to make any physical contact outside of administering first aid or in self defense, which must be made in minimal force required to ensure personal safety
  11. I escort employees to make bank deposits, ask aggressive or violent people to leave, and take notes on safety hazards in patrolled areas
  12. If someone bleeds, throws up, or takes a dump somewhere they shouldn’t, it’s between me and the custodian to make sure nobody slips in it bay bee
  13. It is none of my business if someone is doing drugs. If they aren’t an active danger to themselves or others then they’re golden

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you’re selling drugs in clear view I will ask that you please do that elsewhere, ideally with more discretion. End of interaction

If you are using drugs in clear view I will tell you *exactly* where the property ends so you can smoke your bong 3 feet outside of that line where I can’t do shit if someone complains. End of interaction

Site Security is not police. It is not LPO. Someone could point you out as you run off the site and say “I saw him shove a microwave down his pants and walk out” and it would be approximately none of my business.

THINGS THAT ARE MY BUSINESS

Overdose in the bathroom. I will verbally check twice that you are conscious, and if I get no response I will warn that I am coming in to check on you. If I find you on the ground I will again try to speak to you, warn that I am touching your shoulder, and give you a jiggle. If I can’t wake you up I roll you into recovery and wait for paramedics.

Threatening or harassing staff. You cannot make passes at the highschooler operating the pretzel stand. You cannot tell the bank teller you’ll “track him down eventually”. The lady at the nail salon said she didn’t want to marry you six times now and now I’m your problem

Abuse, endangerment, or neglect. If you leave your baby on the sidewalk so you can shop by yourself then I will be the jerk who ruins your day. If you hit your kid I will become very much your problem. If you locked your dog in the car with the windows rolled up six hours ago and it isn’t getting up when I tap the window I’m gonna be the biggest pain in the ass you’ll see all day

Safety hazards. Don’t shoot off a bottle rocket in the parking lot. Yes it’s very cool and you probably won’t hit anything important but there’s a pretty big empty lot like six blocks away man, what if you nail a kid or something. If you wanna take your bearded dragon to the food court, keep him in your coat or in a carrier. Climb the telephone pole on Tuesday because thats my day off

Client complaints/concerns. Boss says you’ve been here living in your car for three days and it’s time to move on. You and I know it’s been a month but between us if you switch locations every couple days around the lot she won’t catch you again till at least May. As long as you don’t leave a bunch of trash laying out we’re good.

END NOTES

If you have tattoos on your face, throat, or hands and you wanna pull something you gotta be so incredibly discrete, is so incredibly easy for Law Enforcement to track you down you have no idea. I know like 3 guys with face tattoos in town, one of them’s been my buddy since highschool and the other 2 were introduced to me like “watch out for a guy with a star on his cheek, his name is Patrick Sturblish, he’s 43 years old and I saw him pocket a redbull once”.

Always assume someone is operating the cameras live.

The courts are so insanely overwhelmed all the time, if you nab something small and vital like bandages, tampons, underwear, whatever and don’t have a long list of priors usually even a cop won’t bother trying to charge you. If I can’t tell you not to steal for the consequences then at least don’t get cocky about it

In my own experience if you walk into a big store and straight up tell someone “I don’t want to steal but I need this very badly” then usually someone will find a way to get it to you

If someone tells me you’re stealing on camera I will let you know that someone caught you and it’s your last chance to put stuff back before they do something

If you pull a weapon on me or someone else while I’m working then I’m required to inform police so please don’t do that thank you

what do u mean by the tattoos on your face comment? i cant guess what youre getting at :( is it that theyre in more danger of violence if the police were to be called? so u want them to think of self preservation?

Reading the comments on the vague post make it clear 1) that the people criticizing you have no reading comprehension and 2) that most of them have never even shoplifted in their lives. "Oh he's saying that face tattoos make you a thief" no you dense motherfucker keeping your tattoos covered is vital to not being identified and it's a lot harder to cover a face tattoo.

^^^^ if you are doing ANYTHING, be aware of your tattoos. PLEASE be aware of tattoos. I’ve seen people I’D by tattoos so many times, if someone sees or records you with a distinct marking anywhere on your body it narrows the pool SIGNIFICANTLY.

I specified the guy with face tattoos not because face tattoos indicate poor morals or criminal behaviour but in a world where nobody remembers your face they will ALWAYS REMEMBER A TATTOO.

Can the average Joe sketch your face, photorealistic, from memory? No. But he can sure as FUCK remember if you had a bird on your cheek or a cross by your eyebrow

I'm all for acab and I'm also generally wary of security guards just for being the way most of them are (stalking my also native younger sister) but the fact is that's not every guard. We've had some very helpful ones help us out too when we were being harassed in places. Like it's not an every guard situation the same way it is an every cop situation solely because of cops' power advantage.

teaboot:

The truth is we *need* people to question people in positions of authority. I don’t want to live in a world where people with power over others are free to throw their weight around with impunity- scrutiny is GOOD. Suspicion is GOOD.

I encourage questioning my motives, my ‘authority’, such as it is, for the same reason I encourage guards wearing body cams and observers filming me- because while *I* know I can be trusted not to abuse my position, nobody else does.

I don’t feel the need to defend myself from accusations that have no basis in truth, because I can be 100% confident that there will be no false convictions- there will be no evidence of wrongdoing because I’m not doing anything wrong.

I treat everyone I deal with with respect. I don’t make threats. I don’t touch anyone, for any reason, except with consent to offer aid. You won’t catch me flipping people off because I don’t do that. You won’t post a video of me using a chokehold on a guy because I don’t do that.

But you don’t know that, so play it safe. Film. Record. I hope you catch my coworkers pulling shit, cause if they’re abusing their position then they shouldn’t be here and I’ll be happy to watch them get canned.

Always scrutinize positions of influence and power. Always. You gotta
