The world has been going to end so many times just during my lifetime that at this point people should treat them like the crazies shouting on a street corner.
Trump: "One of the most urgent tasks... is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax."
"The radical left's fearmongering about climate and our future is... destroying America's economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating our middle class. It's really hurting us."
"We have to defeat the climate hoaxsters once and for all." 🤔

Good.
US President-elect Donald Trump will pull his country out of the Ukraine conflict, leaving EU leaders in an “uncomfortable and difficult position,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.
“The situation on the front line is obvious. It’s a military defeat. The Americans will get out of this war,” he told Kossuth Radio on Friday. “Europe alone cannot finance this war.”
Some EU leaders want to keep pouring money into a lost cause but the silence is growing among those with such an opinion, Orban said, while others are calling for a policy reassessment.
Meanwhile, the few nations that have been advocating de-escalation and talks, including Hungary itself, as well as Slovakia and the Vatican, have been vindicated, he added.

Look I know Rapunzel paints and Tiana cooks, but if you guys don't think Mulan is the Most Creative Disney Princess, you're wrong.
She's literally introduced in this perfect scene that highlights her whole character, flaws and strengths:
The first time you see her she's:
Cheating, which is totally the opposite of what honor-code General Shang would do.
Undisciplined, which is what going to the army fixes.
Problem-solving—by writing the recitation she can't remember on her wrist—
BUT LISTEN. That last one is the first hint you have that she's the Most Creative Disney Princess. Because guess what? She's not the first young woman to cheat at the matchmaker test. The Matchmaker specifically checks to see if she's cheating when the test begins. But the rest of them wrote their cheat sheet on their fans.
The Matchmaker was prepared for the usual kind of tricks. But Mulan's full of her own ideas, not everyone else's.
You guys know the rest. She dresses up like a soldier—nobody suspects her because the idea that someone would do that never occurs to everyone else. She climbs the pole by tying the medallions around each other when none of the other recruits can figure it out. She lights the cannon by grabbing Mushu instead of searching for flints. She creates an avalanche instead of just taking Shan Yu out. She tricks the Huns by dressing her friends up as concubines. She defeats Shan Yu with his own sword and a bunch of fireworks.
But even beyond problem-solving, Mulan never does things like other people do. She doesn't even do things like other women do.
She doesn't just walk across a bridge, she jumps from pillar to pillar. She doesn't just bring her father tea, she puts a spare teacup in her sleeve because she knows she's clumsy.
Mulan is creative. But you know what that moment proves? That she's not just a representation of all women-versus-men. Mulan is representative of a human, who sees where she has strengths, and sees where she has weaknesses. She uses her strengths to her advantage and works to improve or make up for her weaknesses. She doesn't try to be exactly like a man. She just tries to use what she's got to do the right thing. And finding ways to use what you've got, even if it's not like what everyone else has, is creativity.

people with uteruses, take care and keep an eye on your health more than you ever have, track things but write it on paper and keep it private
anyone without a uterus, take care of your peers who do have them, advocate for them, use the advantage you have

Some of you people sound exactly like the fundamentalist adults in my life who were dead sure that Obama was going to abolish religious freedom and term limits and turn the US into a single-party state when he got elected in 2008 as opposed to like. being a pretty standard-issue federal politician with policies they didn't like. You know that, right?

you guys want to know a secret?
of course you do
For context, I’m actually a Reddit refugee. I’m actually still on there because I love making bait posts and fake stories (things along the lines of “I think cereal is better with water instead of milk” or “AITA for crashing my (M24) friend’s (F25) car after she told me I could?”). I have five Reddit accounts (to keep it believable). I’ve been on the front page of the site three times. I’ve basically cracked engagement.
I have extraordinary Reddit karma. And I say this with deep shame. I would not have told you this humiliating fact about myself if it wasn’t necessary to pass on this information.
Once you get enough Reddit karma, you start getting invited to secret Reddit societies for elite high-karma Redditors.
This is not a joke.
They all have rules along the lines of “do not make outsiders aware of The Secret Reddit Society or you’ll be excommunicated”
They just hang around and talk about how much Reddit karma they have
Again, I am NOT making this up

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.
Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.
Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

How to survive the next 4 years.
- Get in the gym and start working out and lifting weights.
- Learn self-defense like boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, kung fu, etc.
- Eat healthier.
- Purchase mase, a taser, a retractable baton, or some other non-lethal weapon.
- If you feel comfortable with one, buy a gun, get it registered and legal, and learn the basics of firearm safety.
- Get a CCW.
- Don't be stupid.
These next 4 years aren't going to be a joke, and you're better off being safe than sorry.
(This message is especially going out to the libs that are scared of firearms or confrontations. These folks ain't playing. And being soft is what got team Blue in this situation in the first place. Stop being soft.)
