wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it
Money is going to be very tight this month, please consider helping out
Good morning,
My roommate and I have recently moved and started our jobs, the problem is we started working midway though a pay period and so there’s gonna be a gap between now and our next check and I’m not sure if we’ll make rent on the first! An even 800 would for sure secure rent and pay for a bit of grocery shopping for the stretch between checks!
Our ebegging from the last couple months kind of flopped so I’m really on my knees now askjng for anything anyone can spare, thank you!!
Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.
Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.
This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.
Flash floods are definitely gonna kill people, so here’s your regularly scheduled PSA:
Desert soil does not absorb a significant amount of water. It reaches maximum saturation very very quickly, and all the rest of the water rushes downhill. Even if you can’t tell that the ground is not perfectly flat, the water can. And it will move. Quickly. No, faster than that. Nope, still faster. If you try to cross moving floodwater, you will get swept downstream and probably die.
Do not try to wade in/cross flood water that is any deeper than the thickness of the sole of an average athletic shoe, no I am not kidding, the water will get deeper literally while you’re standing in it.
This goes for cars, too. I’ve seen entire vehicles getting swept downstream in flash floods because the driver thought they could cross the “puddle” and Found Out.
Stay safe, y’all.
It cannot be overstated how heavy water is and how much it doesn’t give a shit about you. It will sweep you away before you even know you’re gone and once you’re in it, you’re fucked. I still have traumatic flashbacks years on from falling into a river while rafting and I was wearing full flotation gear. You are helpless in running water.
Even if that puddle across the road looks shallow, the road might be gone underneath it. Water will very quickly rip the asphalt from the ground and leave no trace above the surface about what it’s done. Do not risk it, it is not worth your life.
my best friend is moving down to ALABAMA at the end of the month (;A;), so she’s coming tomorrow with her sister and I’m making a cake for them today and iced tea and I’m going to enjoy every last second of her company I love her so much
‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
Years on the internet and somehow i still click on comments sections with the insanely optimistic idea that I’ll learn something new instead of being subjected to the dumbest motherfuckers online typing like their sole purpose in life is to make me want to end mine
“Wow, what an interesting post! I want to see what sort of fascinating discourse is being generated by the idea posited by the original poster” <- Me, operating under levels of delusion yet unexplained by modern science
