#and that makes you fucking dangerous tbh

[hatredmadeofgold]

Typing “proshipping definition” or “antishipping definition” into the google search bar is not even 5 minutes of effort and that people do not fucking do this whenever they aren’t sure about the meaning of something and blindly believe some bullshit some random ass person says on the internet is appalling to be honest.

Like, do you really believe everything you read on the internet? Especially on “everyone lies about everything” websites such as tumblr or Twitter? Has no one ever taught you critical thinking skills?

Well, guess that checks out for most antis 🙄

Kind of upsetting to see "Proship", a simple and easy to understand term, constantly having its definition changed by people who are......not proship.

"Proship means you like loli and shota." Try again.

"Proship means you're a pedophile." Try again.

"People proship because they make the character they are closest to more relatable" ....????? Try again????

Proship is just not harassing people over fiction. That's literally it. Anti-harassment. Not all proshippers are lolisho. Some are even grossed out by it too. But proshippers realize it's all fucking fiction and if they're uncomfortable by it, they'll block the person and move on with their lives (aka being a normal, decent human being). Not start a harassment campaign against that person and try to ruin their lives. If you don't know what proship means, LOOK. IT. UP. Don't hear the "definition" from antis who try to make proshippers look bad. Also if you're just gonna say "well lolicons deserve to be harassed", save it. No they don't. If that's how you feel. Stay the fuck offline forever and work on becoming a decent person. Hope this helps.

Gambling Apocalypse Tenma AU

As I rewatch Kaiji I inevitably end up wanting to combine show I like with other show I like and stuffing fav characters into show. So here we are.

This was uh going to be a short summary type thing but I accidentally wrote a novella about it sorry

This AU starts off with a much more depressive Tenma. After Tobio's death, rather than immediately pour his grief into developing a robot version of his son, he recedes into himself, psychologically paralyzed, likely turning to alcohol to drown out his anguish.

His mental state is taken as an opportunity within the Ministry of Science to have him ejected from his position; Tenma was never the most well-liked director, and there were those with ambition to usurp him that would jump at the chance. Not that he especially cares in his state.

He's eventually dragged out of his stagnation by Ochanomizu - who, inadvertently, becomes the very catalyst pushing Tenma to develop a robot replacement to his child. This was not what he meant by encouraging Tenma to fill the void left by his son.

...But, well, he is no longer the director of the Ministry of Science. His access to limitless government funds and resources for "scientific research" has been cut off, and this is a project he cannot finance on his own. He can't ask Ochanomizu for help, but...interestingly...a representative of a certain shady organization known as the Teiai Corporation reaches out to him, offering to finance and support his project. A sane and well-minded Tenma might think better of it, but grieving and desperate, Tenma accepts their offer and is able to create a robot in the image of his beloved Tobio. For a while, there's joy in his life.

But the bill, as ever, comes due: Tenma must pay up, and the very resources that had been at his disposal will certainly ensure that he will, or else. Of course, he doesn't have the money; instead, he is given a choice. He can relinquish the robot Tobio in order to wipe out his debt - the child is a sophisticated and powerful robot, after all - or he can participate in a certain illicit event hosted by the Teiai Corporation.

It's nothing major...just a four-hour gambling cruise with a collection of desperate, damned souls that were also swept into debt with Teiai. The conditions are simple: Those who choose to participate are given a chance to clear their debts wholesale should they win. And should they lose...?

Well...no one really knows what happens to the losers seized by Teiai. It's said that they labour away their debts under Teiai's watchful eye and are freed once their work has covered their debts, though it's rumoured that most perish before they reclaim freedom.

There's only one answer Tenma can give, of course; he's not willing to lose Tobio again.

Thus is Tenma's debut into the Gambling Apocalypse, where he must become cutthroat in order to survive; if he wants to see his son again, he must make choices that will doom the hapless to miserable servitude, with a nonzero chance it ends in their death.

He survives the cruise, but of course, it was hardly enough to clear his debt; the cruise was never going to be the end of it. Teiai doesn't let go of its victims that easily. He will be called on again: this is a weight that hangs over him, all while he returns to his son Tobio. The same hands that have pushed innocents into hell must now be the hands that can embrace his child.

He wants to protect Tobio from the truth and enjoy what peaceful moments he's allowed with his son, but it's difficult. It's difficult to be the parent of a child who cannot understand the danger that looms ahead; this "happy" home is not to last. Tenma angers quickly and easily. He turns that anger onto Tobio.

As Teiai's games become more and more vicious and unrelenting, as his conscience holds onto the last vestiges of thread that remain, Tenma even threatens, once, to give the boy in: it would all end, then; the debt would be clear and no longer would he have to endure Tobio's childish annoyances, his ungratefulness.

The next time that Tenma is beckoned, Tobio takes matters into his own hands. He does understand, now; and he would have, if only Tenma had bothered to explain sooner. If it's a debt that needs clearing, he will work. He will help his father clear his debts however he can. Of course, it's difficult to find work as a child; but a circus troupe finds amusement in the idea of a child robot, and takes him in. He is whisked into a certainly unpleasant working situation, but he remembers his father, and what he must be enduring. Tobio, also, will endure.

When Tenma returns, Tobio is gone.

All that held Tenma back from becoming something monstrous has disappeared. All that kept him going has disappeared. When he is called upon by Teiai, there is no knowing what sort of person might come out the other end; whether a monster clawing his way to freedom regardless of what actions he must take, or a desolate husk surrendering defeat.

There is still a light, however dim: Found by Professor Ochanomizu and rescued from the circus, Tobio - now Atom - is able to shed light on the situation which Tenma took great pains to keep hidden from his old friend. With time running out, Ochanomizu and Atom must do what they can to save Tenma - from Teiai, and from himself.

-----

UHHH and that's a wrap!!!! I couldn't quite decide which way Tenma would go after hitting Rock Bottom in this AU, and tbh it would really depend on the kind of mental state he's in at the time. On the one hand I like the narrative of Ochanomizu and Tobio racing to prevent Tenma from crossing a line (actual outright murder probably) - or having to pull him back into humanity (and yknow, his ensuing penance)

But on the other hand having him get sent to Teiai Evil Hell Prison would be interesting because a) there's a lot of narrative potential having Tenma faced with what Teiai is doing with the people that lose the games and b) need him to decimate the foreman at chinchirorin Kaiji style

Tenma's whole character is definitely a much different guy in this AU, he starts off pretty sympathetic, the guy you wanna root for, he just ends up having an inverse character arc where he gets worse instead of better. His conflict with "Tobio" is also kind of reversed, less about being unsatisfied with Tobio as a son and more not being able to handle the fact that he probably has intense PTSD now and isnt capable of coping with it in a way conducive to being a parent (or like, coping at all)

Anyway that's gambling apocalypse tenma!!!

so we all agree that kishibe gave birth to yoshida right? assuming yoshida’s around denji’s age that would place kishibe in his thirties when he was born, which is completely feasible. the only thing that really hurts this theory for me is that i can’t really fathom Kishibe managing to go nine months without drinking, nor can i imagine him spending nine months pregnant at all. he’d be basically out of commission by the end and i don’t see public safety offering parental leave to someone so integral to the operation

Eyyy it’s the original post! So once again friends, the facts:

1) Nitrogen narcosis affects literally everyone, because it is a biophysical result of breathing unprocessed air at greater depths.

Different people have different reactions in exactly the same way they react differently to alcohol, but it is absolutely not something you can be screened for and then never worry about

(I would not be surprised if part of the deep diving certification included intentional exposure under controlled conditions, to familiarise you with its effects though. The test could be legit)

You yourself may experience more or less narcosis, or have different responses, based on what you’ve been doing from one dive to another

It’s also why deep diving involves carrying multiple tanks, because you need to breathe a different mixture of gases at different depths! There is a second thresh hold at 300 feet past which you can’t breathe the same percentage mix you do from 100 feet down, which will include helium as well as nitrogen and oxygen

(You’ll also probably have different mixes for your ascent, because drastically increasing the oxygen percentage in what you breathe seriously reduces the time you gotta spend waiting for the gasses you’ve absorbed to be safely released)

When you hit 984 feet you actually need to switch gasses again, not just the mixture. You’ll need to replace helium with hydrogen, because even helium becomes narcotic with enough pressure

Gasses: they will all fuck you up when they want to

2) the threshold for nitrogen narcosis is 100 feet, not 60 feet, though it is rare for symptoms to be noticeable above 120 feet

However, if you look this up you’ll see units measured in fsw or msw. These mean “feet of sea water” and “meters of sea water” (although occasionally it’s just called “salt water”)

This is a unit of pressure, not distance, so based on wave activity above you, you can’t just measure the distance down. It’s 100fsw, not just 100 feet up and down. You know, since the surface of the water moves

200fsw is about 60msw though, and the last safe limit at which you need to switch to a helium mixture to avoid nitrogen narcosis causing full unconsciousness, so the number may not have come from nowhere

Easy point of confusion, gonna blame science on this one for giving things buckwild names

3) we know exactly why this happens, and again it has nothing whatsoever to do with a rare subset

It’s because of the way nitrogen behaves under pressure, so the people comparing it to the bends are not technically correct, but they’re in the same wheelhouse with the same process, just different parts of the body

This can happen with oxygen too though! It’s more technically called inert gas narcosis, and the assumption used when calculating for gas mixes like trimix (helium-oxygen-nitrogen) assumes that nitrogen and oxygen have about the same narcotic effects at depth

Some organizations prefer a straight helium-oxygen mix for depth (called heliox), and the debate doesn’t seem to have a clear winner yet. Helium’s expensive though, so that may be a partial factor

As I said above, even helium becomes narcotic once you get to the real deep depths, and you need to switch to a hydrogen oxygen mix

Essentially, it’s a function of pressure. Increased pressure causes your body to absorb gasses in ways that just aren’t possible at lesser pressures, and we can prove this using things like a pressure chamber right at sea level and pumping our gas mixes in

(This is how deep sea divers can train and get used to the different mixes without having to dive every time)

The narcotic problem comes when nitrogen (or indeed any of our inert gasses) is absorbed by the fatty tissues of the brain. They’re not known for electrical conduction, so it interferes in the synaptic transmission and stops your brain cells from talking to each other properly

(the bends come from nitrogen being absorbed into your blood, which will carbonate (nitrogenate?) your ass if you ascend too quickly and the nitrogen becomes a gas while still in your bloodstream

Fizzy blood is not good for anyone)

Reducing the amount of gases you breathe in which can be absorbed this way reduces the chances you’ll have the bad brain bubbles, thus reducing your chances of nitrogen necrosis

It’s not magic, it’s not mysterious, and while scientists are still debating exactly why and how the synapses get fucked by this, we know that’s what causes the problem and how to fix it - returning to a lower pressure atmosphere and letting the nitrogen ease out of the places it shouldn’t be

You’ll feel a little drunk, a little euphoric or paranoid perhaps, go back to the surface, and feel better

(No registered diving company is gonna let you go deep enough for the serious symptoms without giving you a proper gas mix because Holy Shit The Lawsuits)

The only reason it’s dangerous is because it’s very easy to accidentally die while you’re in water, which is why you’re extremely unlikely to be allowed to dive while drunk or high

You need a clear head, the ability to check your equipment, and a general sense of sobriety to dive safely. The air you breathe accidentally fucking your synapses up is just a fun new development of depth!

The actual science is a little boring though, and I doubt any of it comes up in depth during a regular deep dive certification

All you need to know there is that it happens, how to spot it, and what to do about it

I did maybe an hour of research, total. Favourite sources:

SCIENCE! Lots of little snippets from articles you can expand for a variety of topics, dry reading but includes debates and much more numbers. Has a variety of cool perspectives like the medical explanation, the mechanical explanation, and what the fuck you’re doing down there anyway once you’re past recreational depths

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/nitrogen-narcosis#:~:text=Inert%20gas%20narcosis%20(nitrogen%20narcosis,depths%20greater%20than%20100%20fsw.&text=Symptoms%20include%20loss%20of%20fine,increasing%20depth%20below%20100%20feet.

Actual Diving Establishment! Nice, easily readable explanations assuming you’re gonna be doing this yourself. Includes the various gas mixes, and what you can expect and do about actual real life nitrogen narcosis

https://www.divinginelba.com/en/the-difference-between-scuba-diving-gas-mixes/#:~:text=The%20commercial%20diving%20industry%20commonly,to%20replace%20helium%20with%20hydrogen.

I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven't seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka "raptures of the deep"

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

advantages of Cryptocurrency forms of money

advantages of Cryptocurrency forms of money

1. Decentralization and Security:

Since digital currencies are decentralized, they are less defenseless to government obstruction or concentrated defilement. Blockchain innovation likewise offers upgraded security and decreases the gamble of extortion or hacking.

2. Accessibility and Monetary Consideration:

Digital currencies can be obtained from any place with a web association, making them ideal for people who don't approach customary financial administrations, particularly in underbanked areas.

3. Transparency and Changelessness:

All exchanges on the blockchain are openly recorded and straightforward, guaranteeing that anybody can confirm the historical backdrop of any exchange. When an exchange is recorded on the blockchain, it is almost difficult to modify, giving an additional layer of trust.

4. Lower Exchange Expenses:

Customary monetary frameworks frequently include delegates, for example, banks or installment processors, who charge charges for exchanges. Cryptographic money exchanges regularly have lower charges, particularly for global exchanges, making them an appealing option for cross-line installments.
