#THIS WON'T BE YOU

[tackyink]

Reminders during the peak of summer but especially if you are somewhere hotter than where you usually live:

Avoid being outside the hours when the sun is the strongest, whenever those are. Here it's around 11:30 AM to 5 PM.

Always carry around a water bottle with you or be ready to dip into a grocery store/coffee shop/bar anytime to buy a cool drink. This is not the time to pinch pennies. Drink, eat and rest as many times as you need.

Walk in the shade.

Get a fan.

Get sunglasses and make sure they're good quality. Cheap sunglasses can act as a magnifying glass for sunrays.

No one will judge you for going inside of shops just for the AC.

Wide brimmed hats look nice but beware of windy days.

Caps are okay too but be careful with the back of your neck.

Optionally, a parasol can save you a lot of grief because it won't be an added source of heat on your head.

Dousing yourself with water while you're outside is acceptable, just be careful about sunburns and don't track water inside buildings.

Find somewhere shaded and sit down if you get dizzy or start seeing blinking lights. You're about to pass out. This is how heatstroke begins. Drink. Throw water on your head. Ask for help. It doesn't have to get worse, but worst case scenario you may need medical assistance.

Try to wear cotton, linen or viscose-like clothes. Avoid anything that's made of plastic.

The wider the clothes, the better. Let air circulate.

Counterintuitively, clothes that cover more skin can be cooler than wearing less clothes if you're standing in the sun.

You are overestimating how much radiation your skin can take before you go full lobster. Wear sunscreen.

No, you really are overestimating it. Wear more sunscreen.

I know it may look cloudy. I know the water at the beach feels cool and nice. Wear more sunscreen; you're still getting burnt.

You'll notice that locals don't follow many of these recommendations. They're 1) used to living like this and know their limits and 2) being stupid. They need sunscreen too, even if they're not getting red and toasty like you.

people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?

I am BEGGING younger drivers. drive carefully. give yourself room. for fuck's sake use your turn signals and don't fucking weave thru traffic. this is not a video game, this is real life and if you get into an accident, you could get killed or kill someone else VERY easily

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?

There comes a time when the criminals prefer being taken in by Batman, because his kids go a little overboard:

Goon: "You won't kill me."

Cass: "You ready to bet your life on that?"

Duke: *tosses her the gun they took off the guy* "I would do what she says."

---------

Random thug: "Hey Batman doesn't kill--"

Damian: "Not like he's here. You're certainly not going to be able to tell him."

---------

Tim: "Well, accidents do happen. Shame." *starts to let go of the rope*

Guy dangling off the building: "No, no okay, okay, I'll tell you!"

---------

Steph: *clears throat*

Gang members: "We surrender!" *multiple guns fall to the ground*

Steph: "I see my reputation precedes me, wise choice."

---------

*Bruce gets chewed out by Gordon by the Batsignal because the rumours have spread so much, it kind of sounds like Batman's kids have been going around murdering people*

Bruce: "In my defense, it's only one of them."

Gordon: "What."

Bruce: *realizes he never filled Gordon in on Red Hood*

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
