Da90sAreGone: This is just Da90sAreGone here, I had found out that deviantdramahub decided to post screenshots/links of comments I made about Club trying to claim I’m doing just nothing but gossip. What did I find annoying about it? Them attempting to claim I’m a dumbass for following your “lies” about Club being a bad person. (Again, it just proves my point that they’re willing to defend him hell to back and don’t give a fuck that he’s going to traumatize more with his typical rps)
Ah yes, the same user who, for no fucking reason, blocked me. You've got some balls to say such nonsense about me or the people who help run this blog. Yes, unedited, non-fake screenshots of your shit comments have been shared and linked. Wait, you don't have a problem with that, do you?
I mean, it's better to see and hear what is actually happening than to read about what you want people to see! Fake-ass bullshit where nothing is proven, and your "word" is the only thing people are forced to take due to the fact that, as I already mentioned, you've shared no evidence of any kind to back up any of the claims You and DADramaNow have made!. So, saying you just "found out" and don't gossip is pretty absurd because you know about this blog sharing the truth about the lies you make, as well as warning people that all you do is gossip!

You don't need any quote marks either side of the word, lies, because that is all they post! And if being called a dumbass is the only thing you're "annoyed" at, well then you clearly are a dumbass for admitting that is what is so "annoying".
I mean, eldritchfish19 who is useless, and always begs people to come back to "help" only to stab them in the back, was subjected to being called a "cat fucker". And i would say that was, really something to get annoyed at, due to the lack in evidence. Or, the user known as excelsior15205 who seems to have a massive ego, and a problem when it comes to igrnoing the bait, people leave. So, in other words, what you claim to be annoyed at, is nothing more than you trying to get people to show you sympathy, which is really pathetic.

Traumatizing? You have the nerve to class what Club is doing as traumatizing? How about the peadophile you're protecting, BirdThatWhispers, aka, AnimeCitizen. The same 33-year-old guy who has been harassing, verbaly abusing, stalking, bullying, and traumatizing people since 2014. Oh, but of course not, because you're okay with his law breaking shit!
And need I point out that one of your members even admitted to be doing the very same thing as Club and LOVING IT, you know the "Traumatizing" roleplay you claimed. But no, again, you're okay with that as well, right? Because if you are, that would class you as being a hypocrite, but you knew that, right? So unless the post that DADramaNow member has been deleted, go check it out, it's in the list of lies they've being posting for nearly six fucking years you stupid cow!
And by the way, FYI bitch, if you find it so fucking disgusting of Club to do roleplays where people with high levels of Autism need care 24 hours, I hate to think what you're saying to those who actually excist in the real world hon, I really do hope you get your upcomings, because people like you are the real reason why nobody is getting heard, or taken notice of what other people are going through!
Listening to a drug abuser, aka, Morthais, or her buddy, TwoNaps who has been the main, if not the co-main reason this shit with Tri started, who, by the way, is an Asexual, do you even know what that means?! NO, because you don't give a shit, as long as you get what you want, and nothing gets in your way of amusement, then it's fine, right? Stupid fucking loudmouth brats like you should be seen and not heard, because as I already mentioned, people like you are the reason shit happens in the World, and nobody fucking cares to get off their lazy ass and help those in need, not scumbags like the terroist cult, DeviantArtDramaNow!

Of note, I had to go to this page to realize what was going on in this post. Tumblr formatting must've glitched. I would be wrong if I don't anticipate this once in a while.
I would start by saying the following to Da90sAreGone: This place is like any blog, the people who come here are all different and have no coordination with one another except for a common interest in speaking about the blog's theme. You are not blocked or banned from this blog, as I mentioned about a certain other individual (and everyone I could say to the users mentioned near the bottom is on there), you have a voice and could come here to use it if you wanted and with the same respect as everyone else, but you either didn't know this despite speaking about it or you chose not to come here, instead proving what your favorite blog is all about by choosing to post about our blog there. This place is a court, a place for peacemaking, but it takes two to make peace. Alas, here we are with the voice of only one side who may or may not be uncivil with you right now (I'm looking at you, Lydia), while the other has wandered off leaving the former's defense to their own devices, like someone with a court hearing who decided to instead spend the time talking negatively about said court at the Mafia's office. Can you blame those who suspect your faction to be dishonest when such an analogy can be applied? Especially when you are being accused of hypocrisies and exaggerations like those above, which do seem concerning, it must be acknowledged you cannot be formally considered the winner of a debate if you can't debate formally. We give you a voice here, take it or leave it.
My message to all sides: It would be appreciated if you all were a little more civil. Also, I looked up eldritchfish19 and excelsior15205 and DeviantArt isn't one of the sites that come up. It appears you (Lydia, the OP) are referring to other sites' users, ones who haven't yet referred to who they are on DeviantArt (though that train of thought can proceed once they do).

#4 Bears Win Minnesota Invitational
Cal Takes Four Events On Final Day of December Event
MINNEAPOLIS – The No. 4 California men's swimming & diving team finished the Minnesota Invitational in style, winning four of the five events on Saturday at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. The Golden Bears swept the 100 freestyle and 200 butterfly and had the top two finishes in the 400-yard free relay.   Cal was the team champion with a score of 2,360 points. Arizona finished second with a score of 1,455 and was followed by host Minnesota with a score of 1345.5. The Bears received individual wins from Destin Lasco, Jack Alexy, and Dare Rose -  with all three recording NCAA A qualifying times in their respective events.   Saturday's finals began with the timed final in the 1,650 free. The Bears placed two in the top five, with Jack Meehan finishing third with a time of 15:11.92. Tyler Kopp finished with a time of 15:13.90. Both were good enough for NCAA B-cut times.   Lasco and Keaton Jones went one and two in the 200 backstroke. Lasco, the defending national champion in the event, finished with a time of 1:38.34 - an NCAA A-cut time and the second-fastest mark in the NCAA this year. Jones set a new career-best with a time of 1:40.23, an NCAA B provisional time. Ziyad Saleem took fourth with a time of 1:41.69, followed by Colby Mefford who finished with a time of 1:41.96. Kai Crews finished seventh with a time of 1:43.09. All three times were good enough for NCAA B provisional times.   The 100 free was dominated by Cal. The Bears captured the top four spots, along with sixth and eighth places. Alexy finished with the fourth-fastest time in the country this year, touching the wall with a time of 41.41, an NCAA A-cut time. Bjorn Seeliger and Matthew Jensen finished second and third with NCAA B-cut times of 42.31 and 42.80, respectively. Robin Hanson took fourth with a time of 42.97 – narrowly missing an NCAA B-cut time. Dylan Hawk took sixth (43.37) followed by Roman Jones in eighth (43.53).   Jacob Soderlund and Liam Bell recorded NCAA B-cut times in the 200 breaststroke. Soderlund finished second with a time of 1:55.96, less than two-tenths of a second behind winner Max Matteazzi of Pitt. Bell finished in fourth with a time of 1:56.33. Hank Rivers placed eighth with a time of 1:59.49.   In the final individual event of the meet, Cal once again took the top three spots. Rose dropped 5.50 seconds from his prelims time to finish first with a time of 1:39.76. It is the third fastest time in the nation turned in this year and an NCAA A-cut time. Gabriel Jett finished well under his prelim swim with a time of 1:41.33. Aaron Shackell finished third with a personal-best time of 1:43.40, an NCAA B-cut time.   In the final event of the meet, the 400 free relay, Cal once again had the top two times. The Bears' A lineup of Alexy, Jensen, Jett, and Hawk finished with a time of 2:48.55 – the sixth fastest time in the country this season. Cal's B lineup of Seeliger, Lasco, Hanson, and Bell finished with a time of 2:48.88 which would be the ninth fastest time this season.   In the platform diving championships, freshman Geoffry Vavitsas finished second in the finals with a score of 341.20. Conrad Eck captured third with a score of 307.90, a zone-qualifying mark.   The Bears return to action in 2024 with back-to-back dual meets against Pac-12 foes Arizona and Arizona State on Jan. 19 and 20th at Spieker Aquatics Complex.

The ocean off the coast of southern Florida is having a long, hot summer. For weeks, surface temperatures hovered around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, before dropping to the 80s last week. The world’s third-largest barrier reef is dying, and scientists are fishing out coral samples and bringing them to the cool safety of laboratory tanks. One spot along the coastline hit triple-digit temperatures last month, conditions you would expect inside a hot tub. Some coastal Floridians skipped their usual dips in the ocean because it didn’t seem appealing anymore.
Marine heat waves—periods of persistent and anomalously high temperatures of surface seawater—have materialized in other parts of the world too. The surface temperatures of about 44 percent of Earth’s oceans are currently experiencing extreme heat, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some of that warming is to be expected, because 2023 is an El Niño year. But “all of these marine heat waves are made warmer because of climate change,” Dillon Amaya, a research scientist at NOAA’s Physical Sciences Laboratory, told me. June was already a record-breaking month for the world’s oceans, and then July came along and topped it. According to the experimental forecast system that Amaya and his colleagues run at NOAA, half of the world’s oceans may be in the throes of a heat wave by September.
Earth is an ocean planet, a water world. We have not observed anything like it yet in the universe, not even with our best telescopes, and so we cannot know exactly how rare—and thus, how difficult—it may be for the forces of cosmic nature to produce such a thing. And yet, here we are, simmering its oceans at our peril and changing the fundamental makeup of the ecosystem that defines Earth. Our oceans have absorbed most of the excess heat produced by greenhouse-gas emissions in recent decades, serving as a buffer that protects us from the worst effects of climate change. Humans may be sweltering on land this summer, but our planet’s future—and therefore ours—is intimately tied with the sea.
Astronomers have spent years searching for worlds beyond our solar system that might host oceans, in the hopes that they also host life. Of the more than 5,000 planets they’ve found, only a few are in the habitable zone—at the right distance from their star to be conducive to liquid, flowing water. And scientists have yet to confirm that any rocky, Earth-size planets are also wet. Part of the problem is that oceans are difficult to detect with the technology available to researchers today. Our planet may be slick with rolling seas, but “if we were to observe Earth as an exoplanet, from a different system, we could not measure that Earth has water,” Charles Cadieux, an astronomer at the University of Montreal, told me.
Other oceans exist in our very own solar system but are hidden beneath the surface of icy moons, their exact composition unknown to us. Krista Soderlund, a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, studies Europa, a moon of Jupiter with a salty subsurface ocean that could harbor microbial life; she spends her days marveling at this other ocean world, all while worrying about the one she lives on. “I don’t really have a way to reconcile that,” Soderlund told me. “You can see the short, rapid changes right now, and then I’m looking forward to how that’s going to affect my kids. How much worse is it going to be?”
Next year, NASA is scheduled to launch the mission that Soderlund is working on: a spacecraft that will reach Europa in 2030. The vessel will carry a plaque engraved with a poem written by the U.S. poet laureate, which reads in part, “O second moon, we, too, are made / of water, of vast and beckoning seas.” This idea of connection, a touch of intimacy in an unfamiliar cosmos, is lovely. Read another way, it sounds almost like an elegy. We are made of vast seas. But when those seas are superheated, dissolving the shells and skeletons of marine creatures and enabling toxic blooms of algae, they beg for relief more than they beckon.
Our planet did not start out with seas. They came later, after Earth had cooled down from its formative molten years. How Earth got its water remains an open question; some researchers believe that it arrived inside asteroids that bombarded Earth several billion years ago, while others suggest that it was locked within the planet since it first formed out of the mountain-size rocks whizzing around the early solar system. This September, a NASA spacecraft will bring home samples from an asteroid that has remained unchanged since that cosmic period, and the rocky bits and pieces could reveal crucial information about our very existence. Scientists hope to uncover clues about the forces that gave rise to Earth’s oceans and enriched them with the chemical compounds that eventually sparked life.
In the face of climate change, the thrill of discovery is tinged with melancholy; as we learn more about how our ocean planet came to be, we’re subjecting its waters to intense heat, and the entire planet is facing the consequences. Hot oceans are melting ice sheets, intensifying hurricanes, and devastating fishing industries. “The Earth has seen a lot of change in its life,” Karen St. Germain, the director of NASA’s Earth-science division, told me. “But we are driving it now in a way that it hasn’t been driven before.”
Astronomers refer to the habitable region around a star as the Goldilocks zone. There, conditions are not too hot and not too cold, but just right for water to lap on alien shores. Earth is squarely in our sun’s habitable zone, and will enjoy its pleasant perch for at least another few billion years, until the sun grows hot enough to truly boil the planet’s oceans away. But Earth may become unlivable long before that: floods, droughts, wildfires, days so hot that touching asphalt can severely burn your skin, hot-tub seas that can roil coral and humans alike.
Last week, the head of the United Nations said, “The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.” Climate scientists have cautioned that global boiling is not a scientific term, and that our current spate of extreme weather has been predicted for years. This is global warming, they say, and it’s plenty dramatic. Still, boiling can help emphasize the visceral urgency of what’s happening in the water. Because it is getting more difficult each day to look around and feel that things here are just right.

Uranus’s swaying moons will help spacecraft seek out hidden oceans
When NASA’s Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, it captured grainy photographs of large ice-covered moons. Now nearly 40 years later, NASA plans to send another spacecraft to Uranus, this time equipped to see if those icy moons are hiding liquid water oceans.
The mission is still in an early planning stage. But researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) are preparing for it by building a new computer model that could be used to detect oceans beneath the ice using just the spacecraft’s cameras. 
The research is important because scientists don’t know which ocean detection method will work best at Uranus. Scientists want to know if there’s liquid water there because it’s a key ingredient for life.  
The new computer model works by analyzing small oscillations — or wobbles — in the way a moon spins as it orbits its parent planet. From there it can calculate how much water, ice and rock there is inside. Less wobble means a moon is mostly solid, while a large wobble means the icy surface is floating on a liquid water ocean. When combined with gravity data, the model computes the ocean’s depth as well as the thickness of the overlying ice.
Uranus, along with Neptune, is in a class of planets called ice giants. Astronomers have detected more ice giant-sized bodies outside of our solar system than any other kind of exoplanet. If Uranus’s moons are found to have interior oceans, that could mean there are vast numbers of potentially life-harboring worlds throughout the galaxy, said UTIG planetary scientist Doug Hemingway, who developed the model.
“Discovering liquid water oceans inside the moons of Uranus would transform our thinking about the range of possibilities for where life could exist,” he said.
The UTIG research, which was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, will help mission scientists and engineers improve their chances of detecting oceans. UTIG is a research unit of the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin.
All large moons in the solar system, including Uranus’s, are tidally locked. This means that gravity has matched their spin so that the same side always faces their parent planet while they orbit. This doesn’t mean their spin is completely fixed, however, and all tidally locked moons oscillate back and forth as they orbit. Determining the extent of the wobbles will be key to knowing if Uranus’s moons contain oceans, and if so, how large they might be. 
Moons with a liquid water ocean sloshing about on the inside will wobble more than those that are solid all the way through. However, even the largest oceans will generate only a slight wobble: A moon’s rotation might deviate only a few hundred feet as it travels through its orbit. 
That’s still enough for passing spacecraft to detect. In fact, the technique was previously used to confirm that Saturn’s moon Enceladus has an interior global ocean.
To find out if the same technique would work at Uranus, Hemingway made theoretical calculations for five of its moons and came up with a range of plausible scenarios. For example, if Uranus’s moon Ariel wobbles 300 feet, then it’s likely to have an ocean 100 miles deep surrounded by a 20-mile-thick ice shell.
Detecting smaller oceans will mean a spacecraft will have to get closer or pack extra powerful cameras. But the model gives mission designers a slide rule to know what will work, said UTIG Research Associate Professor Krista Soderlund.
“It could be the difference between discovering an ocean or finding we don’t have that capability when we arrive,” said Soderlund, who was not involved in the current research.
Soderlund has worked with NASA on Uranus mission concepts. She is also part of the science team for NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, which recently launched and carries an ice penetrating radar imager developed by UTIG.
The next step, Hemingway said, is to extend the model to include measurements by other instruments to see how they improve the picture of the moons’ interiors. 
The journal article was coauthored by Francis Nimmo at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The research was funded by UTIG.

A user on DeviantArt named Evie is bullying me because I liked a joke about her in a comment. I asked her to stop, but she refused! And now she's attempting to blackmail me into fabricating a story about someone named "Lupissy"? "I said no, leave me alone!" before I blocked her. The following day, I received a message from a user named Twonaps claiming to be a friend of MagistraInferna, formerly known as Morothias! I told Twonaps to leave me alone and stop bothering me, but they persisted, and then when I was offline, which had to be when I was offline because nothing happened when I was online at the time, Twonaps lied and claimed I was bullying Evie, when it was the other way around!
Would explain some of the things that go on on Tumblr and elsewhere. Simply liking a joke shouldn't be the same as standing by an insult (or bullying), unless one of them is willing to come forward to make a case. Good thing we're here for you.

Where Is My Anger Coming From? What Can I Do About It?
Tumblr media
Newborn babies usually respond with generalized distress to a range of unpleasant experiences which also include hunger, painful medical procedures, changes in body temperature, and too much or too little stimulation. Angry expressions increase in frequency and intensity from 4 to 6 months all the way up to 2 years (Braunggart-Reiker, Hill-Soderlund, & Karass, 2010).  It is important to note that even older infants react with anger in a wider range of situations. For example, when an interesting object or event is taken away from them, an expected pleasant event does not occur as a result of a certain action, or when their arms are restrained. Most often in homes where there are young children, one may see children become visibly upset or angry when their caregiver leaves for a brief period of time or they are forced to take at a time they wish to play.
Children are very persistent about obtaining a desired object and get less easily distracted from these kinds of goals (Mascolo & Fischer, 2007). Furthermore, toddlers are better at identifying who caused them pain or removed an item from their vicinity. Their anger is particularly intense when a caregiver who they are dependent on for comfort causes discomfort instead. The rise in anger is also adaptive in nature. A toddler’s new motor capacities enable them to defend themselves or overcome obstacles when they are angry (Izard & Ackerman, 2000). Ultimately, anger motivates caregivers to relieve a baby’s distress.  
The idea behind explaining how anger begins as a child is to also warm you to the concept of anger being a normal part of human emotions. It’s as important an emotion as happiness and sadness. They develop as an emotion when humans age.
According to psychologist, Charles Spielberger, he defines anger as an emotional state that varies from mild irritation to intense fury and rage.
When you wonder what makes you angry and where is it coming from, the answer to this is that it is the result of both internal and external events that take place in an individual’s life. Anger inspires strong, frequently aggressive feelings and behaviors that enable us to fight and defend ourselves when we are attacked. One must shift their perspective on anger and see anger as a natural adaptive response to danger. Therefore, some level of anger is essential for our survival.
When does anger become problematic or harmful? It is important we ask these questions to ourselves when we experience anger. Anger that causes individuals to physically or mentally harm another individual or themselves are ones that are considered dangerous. Laws, societal conventions, and common sense impose boundaries on how far our anger can lead us. As a result, we can’t physically lash out at every person or thing that frustrates or annoys us in any circumstance.
The American Psychological Association talks about three major strategies to be followed when experiencing anger. People deal with their feelings of anger in a number of conscious and unconscious ways. The three major strategies are calm, inhibit, and express. The best method to deal with anger is to express it in a confident, non-aggressive manner. To do this, one must learn how to express one’s demands and how to meet them without hurting other people. Respecting oneself and other people requires being assertive without being aggressive or demanding.
We see more individuals that are able to contain their anger and direct it as compared to those who express it outwardly. Anger that goes unspoken might lead to other issues. It can result in pathological outbursts of rage, such as passive-aggressive behaviour or a persistently angry and cynical attitude. People who continuously belittle others, criticize everything and make sarcastic remarks lack the ability to express their anger in healthy ways. They are unlikely to have many fulfilling relationships, and they may not realize what exactly is causing their relationships to fade away.
There are always unique ways in which anger can be expressed outwardly but in a helpful manner. Anger can be contained, then transformed, or directed. This occurs when individuals suppress their anger, puts it out of their minds, and shift their perspective on the good. Anger is to be contained or suppressed in order to channel it into more useful behaviour. If anger isn’t permitted to find an outlet outside of yourself, it could shift inward and towards oneself. It is important to note that anger that is directed inside can result in depression or high blood pressure.
To combine both external and internal methods of working with the emotion of anger. One can settle down internally. This entails managing both the external behavior and internal reactions, slowing down one’s pulse rate, calming oneself down, and allowing the emotions to pass.
What’s important? Individuals need to be able to have some level of self-awareness and be able to accept when they require help from a professional. Self-awareness can be achieved when they spend some amount of time with themselves and reflects on how their actions are affecting them and the people around them.
