Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

“Be media critical” mfers when you ask them to consider being critical of knee-jerk reactions of disgust they have trouble properly articulating

Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan

Theres also a pretty significant overlap between the kind of people who think that society will crumble if people are bad at interpreting fiction and the kind of people who will get mad when someone suggests they need to read theory if they want their political opinions to be taken seriously. Which to me suggests less of an actual concern with literacy and critical thought and more of just a desire to jerk one's self off about being high minded. But I digress.

my thoughts on this are that if one (former) hermit has let us and his community down majorly, the rest of the hermits have done themselves proud in their response. they were accessible for the victims to reach out to with their complaints. they then sought to verify them, and once they had, they directly addressed the situation in a swift and efficient manner. their statement allowed for the victims to offer their perspectives with their own voices, on their own terms, whilst preemptively warning us that they would be coming, and they had been confirmed and acted upon.

this has been dealt with extremely professionally, with care to protect the victims, and with clear decisiveness (especially from a server that is so famously indecisive, it required a coup to start its second season). this was not dragged out. allegations were not dragged through the mud and victims ripped apart by the jury of the internet. the hermits brought us a situation already resolved and within one day, we are already in the aftermath

I've been following this lady on TikTok who runs an anti-porn account out of what I can only describe as sociological curiosity. Basically, when I first encountered her videos I sniffed out pretty quickly that she was both a) very very cishet and b) a religious conservative and listening to her talk about sex and relationships has become this fascinating window for me into how The Other Side lives.

Like one of the main conceits of her content revolves around the fact that men have to constantly fight against being overcome by lust, which is hilarious to me, someone who has read fanfiction, because acting like cishet men are somehow uniquely prone to being gooners is so deeply ignorant of how anyone outside a religious conservative community lives.

hey dude, idk how much you remember from the party last night but- yeah, everyone saw your want. yeah no it was pretty late and winding down so it was quiet enough that every single person there saw it throbbing and twitching in your chest and so wet with hunger it was glistening under the kitchen light. they said it looked like it was reaching for something

when i was shopping earlier i saw a product where, instead of there being a price tag, there was a qr code. and they wanted you to scan it to get the price. i wonder what it would feel like to be a wolf and to full force bite onto something's throat. your hunger satiated and your thirst quenched. your enemy defeated. in one swift follow-through.

Hey, happy Earth Day! Who wants to talk about climate change?

Yeah, okay, fair, I kinda figured the answer to that would be "ugh do we have to?" What if I told you I have good news though? Good news with caveats, but still good news.

What if I told you that since the Paris Agreement in 2015, we've avoided a whole degree celsius of global warming by 2100, or maybe more?

Current projections are 2.7C, which is way better than the 3-5C (with a median of 3.7C) we were expecting in 2015. It's not where we want to be - 1.5C - but it is big, noticeable progress!

And it's not like we either hit 1.5C and avoid all the big scary consequences or fail to hit 1.5C and get all of them - every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid is going to prevent more severe problems like extreme weather, sea level rise, etc.

This means that climate change mitigation efforts are having a noticeable impact! This means a dramatically better, safer future - and if we keep pushing, we could lower the amount of global warming we end up with even further. This is huge progress, and we need to celebrate it, even though the fight isn't over.

It's working. Keep going.

with the recent news of iskall (and stress) leaving hermitcraft, a quick reminder: do not watch any drama videos speculating on what has happened, or trying to sensationalise the issue. dont trust anything anyone says about his departure unless it comes from a hermit or close friend of iskall's. when bad things goes down in ""clean"" communities, drama channels jump on that shit like sharks to blood. dont give them the time of day. dont feed into the speculation

you can absolutely be upset, or disappointed, or conflicted. but dont let yourself succumb to watching every drama video trying to get answers - most dont care about those affected, or the hermitcraft members, or even iskall. they want the cheap buck of making a video about something going wrong in a generally drama-free community. best thing we can do is support the remaining hermits and be on the look out for information verified by hermits themselves

[the-ruler-of-rabbits]

Stressmonster101 has deleted all her social medias (apparently including her discord) and her second channel

False has confirmed on her discord that Stress had nothing to do with whatever happened.

If I was to create a discord for preserving her Hermitcraft videos as fast as possible, would anyone be interested in helping preserve it??

Even if it ends up that she supports Iskall and he did something really bad (WHICH WE DONT KNOW) we cannot lose another perspective of hermitcraft to history

[the-ruler-of-rabbits]

Iskall and Stress have left the Hermitcraft server

Edit with all the info we currently have about the situation:

According to Mumbo there were no minors involved

False confirmed on her discord that Stress left on her own accord

One of the members of VHsmp has left due to “differing moral values with its leadership”

The episode of Imp and Skizz podcast that featured Iskall's interview has been removed from all platforms

Mumbo remove all merch from his store that features references with Iskall

Grian removed Iskall's name from some of his old titles

Doc mentioned that more info is possible to come in the future
