YES, FUCKING DON'T THEN. Nobody will force you, FFS.

I got shit for recommending BASIC skincare. "But what about disabled people?!" WHAT about them? They don't have skin, or never ever go outside?

Didclaimer: this is not directed at people who don't have a brain or don't know how to use it.

I'm amazed how often some perfectly sensible post that ends with words like "unless you've got some medical issue that prevents you from doing it, I recommend that everyone should give it a try!" has someone in the comments going "well what about me? I've got anxiety, depression, PTSD, agoraphobia, turboautism and maladaptive daydreaming and I literally cannot make myself go do that!"

Like. bitch you. you were mentioned. your situation was specifically clarified for in the previous sentence. If you have a mental health issue, you have a health issue. If your mental health problem prevents you from doing something, you have a health problem that prevents you from doing the thing. How did you learn to type before learning how to read.

Earthquakes, floods, landslides, wildfires, volcanic eruptions.

I'm really curious about this!! in aotearoa, every classroom I was in growing up had posters up on how to respond to an earthquake. "drop, cover, hold" was drilled into me from a very young age. I experienced a few growing up, but they were mild because I don't live in areas where they are more extreme. One of our major cities, christchurch/ōtautahi, gets hit by earthquakes very frequently. if you look at a global seismic hazard map, aotearoa is fully lit up in the colour indicating high hazard chance. wild!!!

for reference, in the UK (similar size country) there are around 20-30 noticeable earthquakes per year. in aotearoa, that number is around 100-250!

LEAVE THE SNAKES ALONE! unless you need to carry it in your arms and throw it over the fence to save its life

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

W need more of it, everywhere

Yunnan Dage (打歌, Dǎgē) is a vibrant, spontaneous folk dance from Yunnan Province. Known for its infectious energy and simplicity, it’s a dance of celebration, no formal training needed, just a love for rhythm and community. Anywhere, Anytime: Dage breaks out at festivals, weddings, village squares, or even impromptu gatherings. All it takes is a catchy tune and a few eager dancers to start a circle. Everyone’s Welcome: Young or old, local or visitor, the dance steps are easy to pick up, encouraging crowds to join in the fun. Pulsing Rhythms: The music is upbeat, driven by drums, bamboo instruments (like the lusheng芦笙), or modern electronic beats, blending tradition with contemporary flair. Unity in Motion: Dancers often form circles or lines, holding hands or swaying shoulder-to-shoulder, symbolizing harmony and shared joy.

A WONDERFUL singer and the song! I want to listen every time when I feel down...

向天在借五百年 (Asking the Heavens for Another 500 Years) by 韩磊 Han Lei

Used as the opening theme for the 2001 TV show, Kangxi Dynasty (康熙王朝), which covers the tumultuous years of Kangxi Emperor in the Qing Dynasty, the song is sung from the point of view of Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga), a military general of that era, as the song was originally written for the drama Hero Zheng Chenggong (大英雄郑成功).

Chinese captions and English translation by me :)

Palette and palate, flair and flare... if I, an Eastern European descendant of peasants 😷 can learn it, so can you.

Please keep doing it! Canadians do it, more in Ottawa and Quebèc than in Toronto. Ecuadorians do it. I do it. 👍👍👍 😍

i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest

Obviously, this is his plan, as every dictator and wannabe dictator before him tried to do. He may try to stage/ provoke a reason. Would the military obey, that is the question.
