thinkingthinking about all the accidental kills .. javi falling down the ice, jackie falling asleep outside at the mouth of winter, crystal falling off the cliff .. and the nat tragedy .. and how accidental doesn’t mean blameless .. how “accidental” is so perfect for them to make up a /story/ that absolves them

the “accidental” is so convenient to feed the myth of IT. they basically form a structure/situation where death becomes a highly likely possibility and try to do it the best way they can so that it doesn’t become Murder. so that it’s not Them but the Wilderness who chose.

nobody being really responsible for nat’s death is so … utterly bleak. maybe no one is to blame, maybe the big wilderness IT is, maybe they just wanted to “”play”” into the game, give it weapons and elements of story and see how it went, keep the fuel going, maybe they wanted to gamble, maybe it’s all they know.

Not me only now overanalysing this shot like look at the shadows. It’s actually Jack and Vega who are trapped. Daniel is right where he needs to be.

Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 209 Thoughts 

My thoughts is going to be shorter this week, and mostly veering into fan theory territory, but if you notice Ura-Ume and Kenjaku aer descending down the steps that lead into the Zenin Family curse pit. They even pass the corpse of Ogi Zenin on the way still left there after Maki slaughtered him. 

Ura-Ume notes this place is perfect for a bath for lord Sukuna, and rather than focus on what that bath is exactly my question is why the Zenin Family curse pit? The first and most obvious answer is that it seems to be a pit of curses. (Duh). However, the pit mainly used for training and discipline only contains grade 2 or lower cursed spirits, cursed spirits that are too afraid to even be in the presence of someone like Ogi a grade One Sorcerer. 

It’s hard to believe the cured spirits concentrated in this pit are even strong enough to be used as fodder for whatever ritual Ura-Ume is trying to attempt to perform for Sukuna. This is where several hints about Kenjaku’s plan dropped this chapter come into play.

 The first is when Kenjaku reveals the purpose of introducing non-sorcerers in the game isn’t to heat up the game or make them fight against sorcerers, but rather because of the cursed energy their deaths will produce. 

A massive amount of cursed energy generated by cured spirits having a feast on the soldiers, will then be generated for the purpose of Kenjaku’s ritual. This is the bomb that Kenjaku is dropping in the final phase of the culling game, and his key to making sure the ritual is complete. While Kenjaku is explaining this we are shown on panel him feeding Ogi’s corpse to one of his cursed spirits. 

This leads into my next conclusion if humans upon their deaths for a brief moment release a large amount of cursed energy, then how much say do  sorcerers release? This is an idea that has been explored in canon before after all we are introduced to the concept of vengeful cursed spirits early on, sorcerers who aren’t killed with a sorcery technique who have a chance of coming back as cursed spirits. Naoya’s death produced what was more of less a vengeful cursed spirit more powerful than he ever was in life capable of domain expansion. 

If the death of Naoya one sorcerer produces a cursed spirit that strong, then say how much cursed energy does the massacre of an entire clan within the space of what was probably less than an hour produce? 

The Zenin Arc is called the “Perfect Preparation” arc, and as of thise moment Ura-Ume is using the Zenin estate to prepare for some kind of “bath”. In japanese this arc is called the “Wild Goose Holding Reeds” arc, which signify birds crossing the river before going to the afterlife. [SOURCE]. Imagery that appears at the beginning of Maki’s massacre of the clan. 

If Kenjaku’s plan revolves around using the massacre of human beings to release a large amount of cursed energy, then Maki killing the entire Zenin Clan on the Clan grounds may have helped move Kenjaku’s plans forward, because that many sorcerers dying all have once have perfectly prepared the Zenin CLan grounds into a “bath” to ressurect Sukuna. Whether Kenjaku manipulated things to end up this way, or he’s just capitalizing on Maki’s massacre, it looks like it’s shaping up to be a serious conseqeunce of her actions.

For weeks now I’ve been telling this joke (mostly to myself) that’s just “I love it when people ask me if I like jjk because the honest answer is no” because I carry these little jjk figures with me everywhere and it’s true I don’t really like jjk that much BUT NOW I CANT POST THAT JOKE BC PEOPLE WILL THINK I AM JUST UPSET ABOUT THE NEW CHAPTER SPOILERS AND I AM BUT THAT ISNT THE REASON

victor madness combat masterpost

everything we know about victor, a co-op exclusive project nexus character

theres a lot of things people dont know about them!! like their connection with the maker, how they interact with the audience, etc. however this information is intentionally kept obscure for narrative reasons (ill explain later) so its understandable if you didnt know about this

full post under the cut since its long ==v

SECTION 1: BURGER GILS

the first appearance of victor was on the official burger gils website, under the "updates" section

the first news update, #207, says that rich (a character we see in "power play") is no longer the employee of the month, thus giving the title to victor.

the next prominent update is #209, which states victor has mysteriously gone missing and gil is setting up a hotline for their return.

judging by the next and final update alluding to the fall of nexus city, and that they can "finally open their doors" due to health inspectors being inoperable, we can assume victor went missing beforehand since the restaurant was functioning at the time of the hotline being released.

the reason for their disappearance is still unknown, but that can lead us into the next and more important section:

SECTION 2: THE MAKER (YES, REALLY)

victor, by the laws of the universe, is not meant to exist in nevada. they are an anomaly.

similarly to the maker, they are likely trying to avoid being spotted by the machine or some other "indestructible nightmare".

we learned in a stream that the maker talks to victor, and won't allow their "story" to be told.

"maybe vic, but his story can't be told. the maker won't allow it. that's why the maker talks to vic all the time. he'll never get near the plot."

victor stays as far away from the narrative as possible, choosing to hide as a co-op exclusive character for MPN. krinkels always emphasizes that there's a meta reason for this. even in things like little doodles, victor seems to want to hide from the public eye.

victor reappeared after the city fell, and was found and taken into sq. there is a reason doc wanted victor to join sq, and that doc knows of their importance. however, krinkels wants to keep this part of the story untold too.

SECTION 3: PERSONALITY + ADDITIONAL MATERIAL

not much comments here since ill leave these up to interpretation. heres some dialogue + other things from them that show their personality.

thanks to CondescendingChaos48s self eater dialogue video for providing these :D - mpn devchat clip of wallium doing a victor voice impression - burger gil plushie ad, which victor appears in

-this screenshot

-victor may be the youngest of the main cast

-the burger gil arg, which victor briefly appears in (their involvement is described in the first section)

and thats all! do what you want with this info, i just want to shed light on stuff about victor that isnt as well known

2024 BL Wrap Up

Welcome to my 2024 bl Wrap Up!

A quick look at my stats this year, so that we can get it over with: I watched 60 BLs, most of which are from 2024. 24 of them came from Thailand, 15 from Japan, 14 from South Korea, six from Taiwan and one from China. I created 209 gifsets and had to deal with several heartbreaks.

Somehow 2024 was an intense year for BLs, at least for me. Even though I watched significantly less than in 2023 and skipped many series to save them for later, many of the series I watched touched me, both positively and negatively.

But what did the year actually look like for me? What are my thoughts today, looking back on 2024?

China, Japan and South Korea fought it out to see who could bring the saddest characters to life and write the saddest stories. On the one hand, we have China's re-entry into the BL world with Blue Canvas Of Youthful Days.

A series whose characters have suffered so much, healed together, supported each other, only to end up with a double noble idiocy and and a time skip so they see each other again in the last two minutes of the series and we get a half-hearted happy ending. I would have loved this series much more without this giving up your own happiness in hopes the other one is happy. Just talk to each other and find a solution together. Please.

Secondly, there is Our Youth from Japan.

Both characters suffer at the hands of their parents. One with domestic violence, prejudices and hatred and the other with absent parents, disinterest in his own personality, prejudices and separating parents. In both cases, they are neglected and find the support and trust in each other that they miss in the world. They feel misunderstood and learn about their own desires and needs through their affection for each other. The series is not yet finished, but it is one of the bluest series this year.

But Japan is not entering the race with just one series. Happy To The End is also a contender for a top spot at the Hurt-Mountain.

The story of two maltreated souls who somehow manage to find a little love and trust in a life full of darkness and pain. The series had left me with strong feelings and a dear friend gifted me the Mangas for Christmas. I can't wait to dive into their story again! And don't forget our super-villain of the year! This series had it all!

South Korea entered the race with Let Free The Curse Of Taekwondo.

I don't know who suffered more in the end, us as viewers who watched the suffering of both protagonists without being able to give them a warming hug and to tell them everything is going to be fine or the protagonists themselves and their attempts to hold up their own walls and tear down the other one’s. Those two have come a long way to at least talk to each other again. Such a good storytelling!

Meanwhile, Thailand thought it would be nice to start a little competition to see which of their series could be the fluffiest of them all. ThamePo is not included in this calculation, because I'm too biased when it comes to this series. They could present me green slime dancing in the rain while Po is staring at it lovingly, and I would celebrate it.

At first, I thought Every You, Every Me was going to easily win the race, but suddenly, they bring in death and the series is elevated to a weird, way too complex and under-explained meta-level where actors are trying to end their relationship because reasons?

I would have liked to have seen more of the multiverses in which our soulmates fall in love with each other again and again. The first four episodes were so good and so different than our usual bls. I couldn't stop loving it. But I guess the trophy will go to Your Sky after all in this case.

God, I'm blushing and giggling to myself with every episode. Fah and Rak are just so cute together. The series is pure fluff so far and even though I don't know what to expect from the remaining episodes, I know that the two of them will surely be happy together in the end.

The award for best performance goes by far to War Wanarat from Jack & Joker.

His diversity and ability to immerse himself in the different personas and play them believably was great cinema this year. The series might have some plot-holes or characters who could have had more screen time together, but the series was interesting and Joke was the best!

And while we're on the subject of Jack & Joker and Your Sky, let's move on to the trophy for this year's best kiss. The crown would have gone to Jack & Joker, but then Your Sky came around the corner with this great first kiss and wow. I was in a bit of a quandary until I remembered that this is my recap. So I'll just make two categories.

The best and softest first kiss this year goes to Your Sky.

The best and hungriest first kiss this year goes to Jack & Joker.

Kidnap didn't necessarily have an exciting and well thought-out plot, but Ohm's Puppy Eyes were unbeatable.

And yet ThamePo clearly won the staring contest with only three episode aired. I mean, hello? Who wouldn't fall head over heels in love with one of them when they look at you like that?

And contrary to all assumptions, neither Kidnap nor ThamePo has the biggest baby girl of the year! No, this is what Taiwan brought to the screen with The On1y One and let's not kid ourselves, Tian loved making everything possible for his Wang and taking care of him.

And who would have thought that the most romantic scene of the year came just close before the year ends? ThamePo! What have you done you beautiful, beautiful series! And how could the remembering of a phone number be the most romantic shit of the year? And yet here I am loving everything about this scene and the series. Oh the wait was so worth it!

While in most cases it was clear that the couples would get together at the end of the series and our little BL bubble would remain intact, Japan made it a little harder for us to predict a happy ending. 25 Ji, Akasaka de probably thought it was funny to play with our emotions like that. My Strawberry Film was probably lying in the corner, laughing at the fact that we believed its misdirections about being a bl. And in Hidamari ga Kikoeru, they remembered at the end that it is a bl and that the audience has been waiting for a long time to see the protagonists together in a scene again and conjured up an unspectacular happy ending with one of the most uncomfortable looking hugs in bl history.

Taiwan, on the other hand, didn't care whether their series had a happy ending or not and simply cut one of the best series of the year with strong acting and a great story in the middle without knowing whether there would be a second season.

And so The On1y One hangs somewhere in cliffhanger limbo and we viewers are desperate enough to search the internet for bad English translations of the story to at least find a little bit of closure. It's worth reading the bad translation though.

And while the world around me was already falling apart, Taiwan and South Korea were fighting over who could tear my heart into smaller pieces by the end of the series. While I was obsessed with Unknown and even bought the final episodes as early excess,

Love For Love's Sake managed to crush my heart into the finest powder. Never before have I been so heartbroken as after this series. I didn't know what to do with myself and my emotions for days. It was terrifying and yet so beautiful. One of the strongest heartbreaks I've ever felt. Clearly the best series this year for me.

Quietly and secretly, Thailand then surprised us with a pretty good adaptation of the much-loved Japanese classic Cherry Magic. And Tay and New surprised me with the fact that they can actually kiss each other without looking like they're in pain. The chemistry was on point and their love scene at the end... wow!

I also discovered a new format for myself in 2024. While I've always stayed away from watching shows on my phone because it's just too small, I came across Match Play on social media and just knew I had to watch it.

And that's how I slipped into the universe of vertical mini-series. My ADHD brain is happy about the short, entertaining nature of the episodes. And yet I was so hooked by the series that it's now my most rewatched show. And that's despite the fact that I don't really like doing that, i.e. repeating series. But I can watch it whenever, whereever.

I was able to watch with my best friend how two people fell in love with each other and are still together and happy.

The Boyfriend was an experience that I would never want to miss, not only do my friend and I now regularly watch shows together, but the show briefly gave me back my faith in love, not for me, but in general.

I finally found another show this year where I really liked OffGun.

The Trainee was a great show with good humor, great characters, honest problems, and an Off that I actually liked in his role. I don't often get that with him.

I had to learn once again that South Korea is not yet ready to introduce a queer couple in one of their big productions. The hints were there and so was the chemistry!

But unfortunately there was no happy ending for my poor heart and Sergeant Kim in Sweet Home 3. But he did make it onto my phone as a wallpaper. That's something too, isn't it?

But South Korea also surprised and sent a terrific adaptation of the novel Love In The Big City to the screen with a cast to be proud of and a story that was worthy of being filmed so well. The biggest plot twist for me came when it was revealed that No YeongSu was a toxic and utterly homophobic asshole. God, I loved the two of them together and would have loved to see No YeongSu come to terms with his own sexuality, but the show has just been too realistic for that. But their scenes together? Chef's kiss! The best lift of the year!

But not everything that tried to shine this year was gold.

On the dark side, Japan and Thailand both tried to piss me off this year by letting series that started so well and would have definitely been my favorites, had they kept it up, hit the wall in the middle or near the end. Seriously Thailand, what was that about Last Twilight? And Japan, I hear the sunspot was so good until you decided to put in a character that was so unlikable that many of us just got angry and until you decided that our protagonists just couldn't have any positive character development and just stopped communicating with each other. And that had been their strength all along!

Wandee Goodday wanted to be this cool show, with sex positivity and sex buddies, but quickly became a romantic sludge that was as predictable as every other GmmTV story. I'm not saying that's always a bad thing, just a little unnecessarily schmaltzy and sweet at times.

South Korea gave us a brief scare once when it thought it wanted to produce a series together with Thailand. I don't know, but I just can't take Mew seriously since then. Love Is Like A Cat was bad. The acting was really bad, the plot didn't know what it was supposed to do on set any more and it simply left midway through the series, never to be seen again.

Unfortunately, this didn't improve the acting and so it was more a case of just not giving up. Sometimes I also wonder what's wrong with me that I keep watching those series and why I'm doing this to myself (yes, I'm looking at you Dinosaur Love).

What 2024 really had a few of, however, were stories with a very unique plot. There's Love For Love's Sake, where someone gets a second chance through a computer game. Or Century Of Love, in which a centenarian in a young body waits for the love of his life and is surprised when they are reborn as a man.

Or Caged Again. I'll wait until I can binge it myself, but the story of a penguin and a panther who fall in love as humans sounds great! Or 4 Minutes, in which time was so confusing that I lost track at one point. Or who could forget our first Omegaverse series Pit Babe?

Which was somehow a little lacking in Omegas and made people questioning everything after finding out that Pavel wouldn’t be on top. Or Playboyy, a series that I think is underrated and which style is so artistically pleasing. Yes, the story was messy af, but the manner in which this series was shot and filmed was exquisite. And Love In The Big City and The Nipple Talk, two very good, very adult series that I wish could get more attention.

All in all, 2024 was a great year with interesting stories and fascinating characters that I will certainly be returning to from time to time.

And with you, my dear friends and followers, creators and viewers. Your presence in 2024 has sweetened my year and made my feed happy! Thank you to all of you out there!

May 2025 treat you well and delight us all with great new stories!

[mischas]

Hello. First of all, I'm so happy I discovered you blog. I just read your answer about RM and intimacy. I was wondering what you meant by "the weird shift with M/B" ? Did personal issues affect the writing ? I must admit that I know nothing about The OC BTS, except that Misha revealed that she was bullied on set.

Hiya! Hmm so yes personal issues started affecting the writing by at least s2. Many believe that the way Ryan screams at Marissa in 209 about her behavior is really M/B coded. So much that in the podcast Melinda Clarke said that it felt like Ben yelling at Mischa. At this time MB was dating party boy Brandon Davis and spending time in his circle that included Paris Hilton and the like.

My personal feeling, and supported by a few subtle examples on the podcast and in some M interviews, is that Mischa and Ben hooked up a little during s1 and the fallout of that didn't go well. Their age difference being what it was (17 vs. 24) is partly why I believe that will never be confirmed by either party.

Then in early s3 they were getting along better after she broke up with Brandon but before she started dating Cisco Adler. Their chemistry in 301-303 reflects that (the beach scenes in 301 and 303 were only filmed a few days apart).

I figure they had some sort of blowup during the season that coincided with their characters conveniently not being intimate (s3 is incredibly sexless until 318 anyway). Obviously the writers are gonna write whatever they want but it's assumed in the fandom that awkwardness between M/B that season contributed to fewer romantic scenes. And of course RM are being written as staid, on-the-verge-of-divorce 17 year olds, but still. The lack of intimacy is astounding. The chem being back in 314 is an anomaly that I'm trying to figure out actually, lol. Supposedly the last time M or B saw one another was when they filmed the final scene of 325. And they avoid mentioning the other like the plague.

As for weirdness with the intimacy scenes in late s3, Cam was a douchebag to Mischa (this is an illuminating read) and Nikki Reed (17, pushing 18) was even younger than Mischa (20) having sex scenes with Ben who was 28. At this part of the season (and starting in s2, really) the writing takes really sharp meta shots at Mischa through Marissa. Like she's a strung out party girl, etc.

[redvanillabee]

i haven't reached 2x09 yet but whatcha came up on shuffle just now and i had a thought

of all the settings peggy could be dreaming in...the war front, NY SSR, LA SSR, England, her engagement party...her dream takes place on a Broadway musical style stage that looks like L&L Automat...

and jason /and/ daniel left the stage before the song was even over...

Jamboree Scout Mundial

"Deja el mundo mejor que como lo encontraste" - Baden Powell

Estimados lectores... ha llegado el momento... la experiencia más esperada del año: ¡el Jamboree Scout Mundial! Con esta experiencia abrimos la sección de Agosto 23' y les presentaré lo que fue uno de los mejores momentos que viví como scout y como persona.

Serie de experiencias 3: 25vo Jamboree Scout Mundial, Corea 2023

Lo que hice como parte de esta serie de experiencias fue participar del Jamboree Scout Mundial en Corea al pertenecer a la delegación peruana y ser guía de mi patrulla. Como patrulla, participamos de diferentes actividades relacionadas a la cultura coreana, deporte, supervivencia y objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, lo que contribuyeron a nuestra formación como personas, ciudadanos del mundo y como scouts.

La institución involucrada fue la WOSM, o la Organización Mundial del Movimiento Scout en colaboración con todas las asociaciones scout de cada país participante. En el caso específico del contingente peruano, el CMT (Equipo de manejo de contingente) liderado por nuestro jefe de delegación fue el encargado de organizarnos.

Los resultados de aprendizaje CAS que se pueden evidenciar con esta experiencia son el Trabajo en equipo, la Relevancia global y los Desafíos. Llegar al Jamboree propiamente resulta en una serie de actividades que te preparan para afrontar todos los retos con los que te vas a encontrar en el evento. Es por eso que todos estos resultados de aprendizaje no solo se evidencian pero ayudan a completar la experiencia.

Antes de la experiencia, participé en varias de las reuniones de preparación que organizó la Asociación de Scouts del Perú. Esto hizo que todos nos familiarizamos con los juegos, actividades y situaciones a las que nos podíamos enfrentar durante el Jamboree. Las reuniones que tuvimos con nuestro grupo scout San Borja 209 también contribuyeron a que los participantes nos conozcamos más y supiéramos uno del otro ya que tendríamos que convivir por dos semanas mientras estábamos en el campamento. En términos generales, todo scout y todo grupo scout tiene como objetivo estar preparado para afrontar un evento de esta magnitud y todas las actividades que realiza durante su tiempo como lobato, scout y caminante sirven para esto, así que estábamos bastante preparados.

Antes de llegar al evento, se designaron los roles de patrulla, yo tenía que ser guía, ayudante de limpieza y encargada del agua. Todos los miembros de la patrulla reciben un rol y es crucial que lo cumplan ya que nosotros mismos tenemos que hacer que el campamento funcione. Llegamos a Corea el 27 de julio pero ingresamos al Jamboree el 1 de agosto. En el camino, Salvador, guía de otra patrulla, y yo leímos el Jamboree Handbook, que era el manual que explicaba a detalle cada aspecto del evento, para tener esa información clara y poder comunicarla a los scouts que teníamos a cargo. Salvador y yo nos propusimos un objetivo antes de entrar al Jamboree y este era ganarnos el parche llamado “Dream Merit Badge”, para el cual teníamos que cumplir ciertas actividades obligatorias y opcionales. Además, también teníamos en mente cumplir con otras actividades en donde podíamos conseguir parches especiales y únicos. Es por esto que armamos un horario donde colocamos qué haríamos cada día para cumplir con nuestra meta.

El Jamboree se desarrolló en la isla de SaeManGeum en Buan, Corea. Fue ahí donde acampamos por 8 días con tropas de todo el mundo y pudimos intercambiar experiencias culturales y aprender de muchas personas diferentes al compartir experiencias significativas. Ser guía de la patrulla también aportó mucho a la experiencia y me permitió conocer mucho más a mis amigos.

Lo más relevante de esta experiencia fue participar del Jamboree propiamente y vivir tanto en tan poco tiempo. He experimentado situaciones que nunca imaginé vivir y todo esto ha contribuido a aumentar experiencias de vida inigualables. Me he permitido crecer como persona y afrontar situaciones que me han ayudado a consolidar diferentes aspectos de mi vida.

Lo más difícil de esta experiencia fue el hecho de que nos tuvieron que evacuar del campamento debido a las condiciones climáticas. Esto generó que sintiera como si no hubiera vivido al máximo cada día del evento. Me dejó un sentimiento extraño porque la experiencia terminó de una manera muy abrupta y tuve que dejar el campamento y el evento que había estado esperando desde hace 3 años. Algo que también fue difícil fue tener que dejar a mis amigos luego de haber convivido por varios días juntos.

Si volviera a tener esta experiencia, lo que modificaría en mí sería mejorar mis habilidades de liderazgo para poder ser una mejor guía para mi patrulla. Siento que hice un buen trabajo pero siempre hay espacios para mejorar. Lo que potenciaría de mi entorno sería el empeño que las personas le ponían a trabajar en equipo para mejorar el campamento. Un mejor trabajo pudo haber mejorado mucho la situación.

This take works for, like, a Squirtle, or even an Espeon.

Metagross?

This guy?

You don't get a Metagross by being fun pals with it. You get it by getting into and winning a lot of fights. With a Beldum. (Who, canonically, is similar to Magikarp in terms of "you're gonna have to put up with some bullshit to make this pokemon do anything useful" without being close to as cute.)

These aren't cuddly pets, these are top-flight dogfighting champions in a world built on combat sports. "Literally no reason"? That squishy primate is probably earning a living off sending you into brutal fights against the toughest enemies available. That Metagross would probably have CTE if it wasn't literally made of metal.

But wait, it gets worse! One of the moves Metagross learns is Explosion, and this is part of the reason it was valuable in older pokemon metas. That's right - one of the most useful things you could do with your Ed-209-looking quadrupedal metal monster was to tell it to explode as violently as it can, taking out itself and everything around it. I just can't really imagine that that's fun for the Pokemon doing it.

Honestly... the conclusion I draw from this is that pokemon like Alakazam and Metagross are just really into violence, almost certainly because they were captured as children and trained up in a system where they are constantly rewarded for being good at violence. Their trainers have traumatized them into loving their violent servitude, and all the IQ in the world won't necessarily teach you that your worldview and the culture you were raised up in are evil, wrong, violent, or anything but normal.

Trainer culture is so fucked up. And then they have the absolute gall to come on here and pretend that their attack dogs are all lovey-dovey with them... Disgusting.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the daycare. I put my favorite Eevee in there with an amorphous slime entity that can turn into a genderbent clone last week, so needless to say if there isn't an egg waiting for me, Fluffles is gonna have some explaining to do. I haven't even made half of the possible eeveelutions! Ooh, maybe this time it'll have one of the more interesting genetic defects!

"why don't super-intelligent Pokemon like Metagross and Alakazam just take over humanity if they're smarter than us" imagine that a random primate gave you free housing, food, and medical care for the rest of your life for literally no reason other than they want to be friends with you and I think you'll understand

Холли Берри похвасталась фигурой в купальнике

Американская актриса Холли Берри похвасталась фигурой в откровенном виде. Соответствующая публикация появилась на ее странице в Instagram (запрещенная в России соцсеть; принадлежит компании Meta, признанной экстремистской организацией и запрещенной в РФ).

58-летняя звезда «Женщины-кошки» поделилась снимком, на котором запечатлела себя в зеркало. Знаменитость предстала перед камерой в слитном купальнике черного цвета, оформленном глубоким декольте. Кроме того, она примерила широкополую шляпу и распустила волосы.

«Не могу решить, хочу я быть озорной или милой в это Рождество, но хочу сказать одно — я отлично провожу время. Всем счастливого Рождества!» — подписала актриса пост, который набрал 209 тысяч лайков.

В сентябре Холли Берри раскрыла секрет моложавой внешности. Тогда знаменитость призналась, что принимает различные витамины и препараты, содержащие гормоны прогестерон, тестостерон и эстриол.

No, no writing poetry at all in fact

Man. I’m so high right now. I’m depressed too, incredibly. Another big work push right now, and I’m not coming out of it alive. I’m not writing really well right now. Bouncing my CRWR 200 draft from paper to doc last night only revealed how terrible it was. CRWR 209 revision seems like a worsening of the original, too. I need to complete the fucking reflection, too. I could never give it to Meta Knight, either, for peer review. Also I took the wrong bus and I’m only losing 7 minutes tops, but I feel like I’m wasting so much time fuck.

I revealed a lot of the past to CRWR girl. I don’t know why I did that. I met my ex from the 10th grade today and realized how badly I needed the past.

—————————————

I didn't finish this from last night. I don't know why. I didn't even remember the wrong bus part until last night.

Having a lot of work is depressing. I should get started on some of that now but I'd rather just lie down in the dirt and die slowly. Theoretically, it should just be turning in shit at this point. A lot of the shit I have is "done", at least in a nominal way. I really don't care any more either.

I need to have my portfolio done, and it just isn't done. My 200 TA gave me 100% on some poetry I did, but that just isn't right. It was lazy poetry. It's meaningless poetry. Part of me still manages to feel euphoric over that grade, which is just plain stupid to be honest. It really is nothing. That poetry is nothing. I need to write good now.

I talked a bit to that girl from CRWR on Thurs. "Talked" and "a bit" are really overstatements. I complimented her jacket. I don't even know why I try any longer. All of this love shit feels trite.

How about instead of erasing and dismissing my reblog, you respond to it on why it's incorrect?

The starting statistic comes from a meta analysis of 27 smaller studies, most of which don't break 100 subjects, and only one breaks 1,000. Most of the studies have significant risk of bias, and include adults in the statistics. The authors directly financially benefit from their conclusion, being surgeons who openly advertise they provide the treatments they claim have astonishingly low decisional regret rates.

One of their own colleagues reviewed this study and criticized these very points, so I'm not pulling this out of nowhere.

In addition to these red flags, the statistics being used as comparison A: tend to also have small sample sizes (and/or low response rates to the corresponding surveys) and B: group in complications following surgery as "regret."

Tattoo regret: 235 respondents

Knee replacement: systemic review, narrowing 1,219 studies down to 209 within acceptable parameters, and more than 80% of them had greater than 80% satisfaction. "Up to" my ass.

"All" surgeries: 79 studies included in the systematic review, and more than 50% of the procedures were cancer. Considering the regularity with which surgery to remove cancer fails, 14% regret rate seems low.

I'm not bothering with the other ones because they are not surgical procedures. This is already the third time I've had to do research relating to this post, and y'all don't pay me enough to provide these citations.
