Not to sound violent, but I'm about to throw a brick at the marketing morons who gave us the Like-Chill-Guys-Just-Use-Pie girl.

I do not buy or use anything that's advertised to me with the ONLY exception being necessities (food, gas, etc.).

I also don't know a single Gen-Z or Gen-Alpha kid who talks like that.

As someone who believes in empathy, kindness, and communication, I cannot condone gun violence.

However,,,,

[Picture ID: a meme including a photo of a fast food cup at a soda fountain, with someone pressing two buttons at once to pour two different sodas into the same cup. Over one of the soda brands reads the text “Violence, especially gun violence, is bad and creates more problems than it solves, and has no place in a humane and civilized society”. Over the other soda brand is text that reads “Billionaires fucking around and finding out is kinda funny”. End ID]

Remember when all social media platforms were actually free because their sole purpose was for people to connect and post/talk about their interests?

YouTube without YouTube premium

Twitter without Elon Musk bullshit and X premium

Tumblr without Tumblr premium

Instagram without paid subscriptions and loads of ads

Good time

Just a reminder the Republicans are a party filled with racists otherwise the house GOP wouldn't have to explicitly tell other republicans to not attack Kamala Harris based on her race or skin tone. Weren't the Republicans and other conservatives talking about judging people based on their character and not on the tone of their skin, guess those guys missed the memo? It's darkly funny they even have reign this in at all, despite all the criticisms you could have of the democratic party they've never have had to keep racism within the party in check for decades especially not now. So keep up the good fight and don't stop spreading awareness of project 2025 peeps, we have our democracy to save!

Spoilers for Finding Frankie below the cut!

Okay I'm sorry but I actually really dislike how some people are saying the announcer cares about the player and calling him "Good Frankie" cause... bestie... I REALLY don't think that's true at ALL--

He's a psychopathic power hungry monster. He doesn't see you as a person, he just sees you as another meat bag that's going to rake in more money. He doesn't even give you the courtesy of your name, just "Contestant". He tries to play to your heart by saying this was his last resort, that he's going bankrupt, that he basically has no choice, but Henry straight up confirms that's total bullshit. He explains that's not true at all. They keep doing this. Once you die, they'll just find another 4 victims to drag in, over and over. They have season after season of this. This isn't a new thing that started out of desperation, this has been going on for a WHILE now.

He wants you to die. He wants to make it a gorey, spectacular mess, and he wants the attention to skyrocket because of it. He wants the audience to be on the edge of their seats, so they'll keep being invested, like any good TV show creator. If every episode is the same, just having everyone die in mere moments and in the exact same way, there's no mystery or excitement. It becomes predictable, and boring. He's not sympathising with you. He just wants to prevent his show becoming mundane. After all, the horror and surprise of it is what gets his money.

They did this exact thing with Henry. He claims the energy you bring inspired them to spare him, but the second he returns the loveable sidekick and delivers some Tumblr Sexyman vibes, he's suddenly and brutally killed. Because it's surprising. Killing him offscreen? Boring! Catching the audience off guard with a loud and sudden kill to the character they've grown attached to? Now that's good television!

In the moments when the announcer even does spare you, such as telling Frankie not to kill you in the vent and preventing you from attracting attention in the sewer, that's not because he cares.

The only times he actively stops you from being killed is in places with no cameras.

There's no cameras in the vent or in the water. But the moment you enter a room with a camera somewhere in it, the threat returns. Because the viewers can see it now, and it better be glorious.

And in the moment you think he's going to help you, just before the final boss, he completely disregards you, instead slamming the door shut. You'd better give him a good ending.

When you survive, he's not even happy. He's stunned. He never thought there'd be a flaw in his grand design. So his immediate response is to compromise. He can't have you going out there, soiling his name! Giving people hope! If you did that, he'd actually have to start giving people prize money! And your strength is so admired by the fans... He'd be a fool not to take that opportunity.

The announcer is not a good guy. He is not your friend. He isn't some tragic soul just trying to save his company. He's sadistic and greedy, and incredibly selfish. He is the CEO of a giant corporation, after all. He's not the "good Frankie". He's just the announcer. He's not special, no matter how much he wants to be.
