A snapshot of one morning, on a relaxed day with mild weather. Now imagine this when it's crowded or when it's raining or snowing.

Video description: POV from the lap of a wheelchair user. Very shaky. OP is going downhill on a fall day. Lots of trees and fallen leaves around. There are construction trucks to the left in the very beginning. Every now and then, you can see a German Shepherd on the left. Second obstacle shows a food robot crossing the sidewalk to drive in front of OP, but it stops suddenly and OP crashes into it. OP continues down the hill until she reaches another food robot, which is obstacle 3. This robot sits in the middle of the sidewalk while OP navigates around it. Then OP comes to a concrete ramp with iron railings, which is obstacle 3.5. It is very steep. After the ramp, OP goes to cross the street, where a black SUV blows through the crosswalk. Obstacle 4 is a ramp with red brick. OP struggles to move up and pauses at one point before continuing again to obstacle 5, where there is a big concrete building and manual doors. The German Shepherd service dog goes up to push the accessibility button multiple times to no avail. A student comes and opens the door, OP enters through two sets of doors into a hallway. Clip change to obstacle 6, OP is wheeling down a hallway and approaches a white elevator with out of order signs.

End of description.

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

Death & Hatred to Norwegian Rail

Demon twins feelings

Danny and Damian are twins. They have a connection. A connection stronger than most. They didn’t realize at first that it wasn’t normal. Every touch one felt, the other felt too.

Sure, they could turn it off so the other didn’t feel every cares of their sleeping blanket or the punishment they received by Ra’s or his servants, however the worst was always felt. Breaking through in a numbed agony for the other. When Damian won the spar to be the demons sole heir, he felt the stab of his own sword, felt it as the Lazarus pit stung his brothers skin and the painful breath after he had left the pit. However, he didn’t rise from the pit. Yet he felt it.

He kept silent, his brother deserved to live instead of being the permanent spare. His life would be in danger. Every time they had time for each other, communicated by a swipe over their inner elbow, a soft scratch from a nail, copied by the other if they had time. They talked in morse code for hours. When Damian came to live with his father, they even exchanged burned phone numbers.

It wasn’t until they just hit 14 that Damian screamed for the first time in a long time from his connection. Family not letting him out of sight for days. He didn’t tell them he knew the origins of the pain. Frantic communication the days after. Danny was okay.

The months after it became clear Danny had changed. He began flinching sometime. Feeling a twinge of guild. His brother must’ve felt that often too with Damian being Robin. His family noticed, of course they did. They’re a family of detectives. Yet he refused to say anything. Danny had made a life for himself, was the vigilante of his own town, he did not need his families problems with his own. Did not need their obsessive behaviour.

That was until their sixteenth birthday. Danny had suppressed his feelings. Must’ve been an annoying ache, they both did it often, to not bother their other half. It was during family night that it happened. Damian flinched in pain. His brothers noticed, used to him flinching and trying to find a connection or origin of this flinch. This time was different however. Damian’s flinch turned into a look of horror. Short gasps as he tried to suppress the pain. Non of his brothers were watching whatever movie had been playing, all pretense gone.

The gasps turned into moans and groans of pain. The horror on his face growing. That was the day the rest of the Wayne family and family friends learned of their youngest twin.

The moment the other half of Damian got a scalpel pierced through his trashing chest, slowly but surely leaving a burning phantom Y on the current Robins chest.

i hope mr beast gets on a bus in egypt and the bus driver (in typical egyptian bus driver fashion) starts driving away before the person getting off fully gets off and only has one leg out and he's not anticipating it so he loses his balance and falls and hits his head and dies

Always funny to me that Dick Grayson put so much effort into disguising himself every single time he entered and left Starfire’s apartment so no one would know he lived there, only for a 13 year old kid to show up at her apartment asking for him by name. And then when Dick isn’t there, Tim just breaks into Dick’s previous apartment he hadn’t lived in for months. At that point why bother with the disguises if a 13 year old is always figuring out everywhere you live.
