Unfortunately, you are far more likely to be harmed or die prematurely as a direct result of modern society than you are from any form of terrorism.

Thoughts on suicide
The loss of spirituality and religion may be why suicide is so high right now. Decades and centuries ago, God was what tethered people to the earth and guided their lives, the purpose was perscribed since birth. Now, the impossible burden of figuring out one’s own purpose is up to most in our atheistic west, and sadly, when people think they can not figure this out, they tend to off themselves. Nowadays, I think the terrifying horizon of what to do with the little time I truly have been allotted in eternity may be more of an adventure then a curse or just another drudge. Life has so many damn colors.
P.S. There are obviously many other causes for suicide in the world such as schizophrenia, mental illness, and trauma. But on a whole, it seems people here in the west have lost their will to live. Pessimism has truly rotted the globe, and this rot has been at its game for a while now. I think we have been getting choked out for quite some time now. Emotions are miniaturized, passion is discarded, and human life has become a 9-5 to many people. Live with some passion bitches. I thank whatever is out there for the privilges I have in my life to be able to pursue what I love (music), but I hope that everyone can still find the passion they need for their own lives. Life is full of so many damn colors, but it seems that the smog of the factory has been blocking them for some time.

“i wish we could see adaptations where sherlock holmes hates the rich and is allowed to be kind to those around him and uses his abilities to support society’s underdogs” elementary was doing this back in 2012. this was only episode 4.
#sherlock holmes#elementary#joan watson#this show had SEVEN SEASONS#and by its 4th episode holmes and watson had more character depth than a lot of adaptations do in their entire run#this holmes is acd holmes plopped into a modern world and it works so well. SO WELL.

Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.
More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.
Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.
Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.
•••
La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.
Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.
Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.
Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.

Honestly, I don't mind buff and hairless spock in SNW that much because in my mind I just pretend that spock went through a fuck boy gym rat phase in his 20s because he wanted to look like a ~sexy~ vulcan.
And that's why in TOS in his 30s, he doesn't talk about his past starfleet postings that much because he's embarrassed about it.
Like in a "wow I can't believe Pike had to see me in my fuckboy waxing my chest hoe era, better not tell Kirk about this or else I'd be teased about it until the end of times, let's just pretend I was always a proper logical Vulcan"
#star trek#star trek tos#star trek snw#spock#i like snw it feels the most trek like of the modern trek shows#the big corny speeches the silliness and not taking itself too seriously#honestly i would've liked it better if it wasn't a prequel show#i like snw spock but sometimes the characterisation feels weird#and the tension is gone in dramatic life or death scenes bcs we KNOW they'll survive we see them in tos#strange new worlds

The comforts of palace life are still within reach for Zelda with the Tri-rod ✨
#loz#legend of zelda echoes of wisdome#loz eow#i guess that's the acronym?#the announcement totally took me by surprise#LETS GO ZELDA!#the way link slowly fell into the darkness with a blank face#I'm assuming it's alttp universe? the world looks bizarre with the modern zoras and gerudos and all#but the fight with ganon just looked straight up alttp final boss#if it's him.. he's been through a lot and at this point is unfazed by anything#he just accepted it

könig's breeding kink. 🍼
könig can't deny the craving he has for a family with you. he wants to see you big and swollen with his babies, committed to him.
könig struggles to pull out, not because he's distracted and not focusing on where his hot, potent cum will be going and the consequences of unprotected sex, it's the opposite in fact. it's all he can think about, his eyelids heavy with delirium and eyes rolled back, desperate to force his creamy stickiness inside of your puffy pussy, pleading with you shamefully.
he'll go badshit crazy when you wear something skimpy or revealing, like a sundress, for example. his breathing is laborious and uncontrollable, his cheeks flushed a rosy pink, and his hung cock begins to swell with arousal weeping orbs of his milky cum. easy access, why don't you go for a quickie, mäusi?
whenever könig sees how motherly you are around other children, he can't keep his eyes off of you, his heart slamming against his chest, against his sternum at the sight of you holding your friend's newborn baby. he could cry, and he definitely would if he was in the comfort of your arms, but he holds himself back, the baby calm and relaxed at your sweet touch.
although once you finally agree, there's no keeping any form of clothing on your figure, engel. he has to make sure he's inside you nearly 24/7, insisting you must do as he pleases.
