wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

A woman in my hometown was convinced that people were secretly throwing dog poop into her yard because she couldn't see clear tracks to where it was.

She complained about this publicly at a citywide council meeting.

I wish everyone who was ever into knock down drag out fandom fights would direct all that energy towards their city council, I feel like that would transform society overnight.

Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way

This has to be an AU already right? I’ve never seen it. I’m doing it. My city now

The angst potential alone haunts me. How long do you think he waited for Ford?? When did it start to sink in that nobody was coming to save him, that nobody would miss him? Would anybody even want him back? How long did it take for his anger, his heartbreak, his grief to turn into acceptance and a belief that this was divine retribution? How long did he work, how many jobs did he take, how much wealth did he accrue, how many brushes with death did he have until he believed he’d “earned” the right to go home and see his brother?? Many such questions. I need to go deeper

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

The UAE: A Fresh Entry to African Geopolitics

DUBAI: Africa’s geopolitics took two steps outside traditional venues of order on 14 August. With its track record of speedy economic growth and scale foreign policy vision, the United Arab Emirates has cast an eye on Africa as part of a broader global mission to build influence. Its engagement in Africa is more than just economic—it involves creating political alliances, promoting development projects, and having a greater presence in critical sectors. Here is a breakdown of their increasing relevance in African geopolitics and the causalities that commit to their involvement.

Strategic UAE Interests in Africa

The UAE is after Africa for multiple reasons related to geopolitics and the economy. Africa offers a strategic opportunity for the UAE to diversify an economy heavily reliant on petrochemical exports, given its vast natural resources, youthful population, and underdeveloped markets. They are attempting to lock down natural resources such as oil, minerals, and agricultural products and are spending a lot on infrastructure-building in Africa, such as roads, ports and airports.

In addition, the Arab Emirates needs Africa for several vital aspects such as access to maritime trade. The Emirates regards the continent as significa Read more...
