please think critically about true crime content and police shows. i’ve literally heard a true crime youtuber say that someone telling the police to get a warrant before searching their house is an immediate sign of guilt. and it’s so common to hear that not speaking to police without a lawyer or “not being cooperative” (whatever that means) is suspicious. spreading stuff like that is so irresponsible lol

seriously can you imagine the outrage if a bunch of guys were sharing tips on how to drug women so that they could have sex with them? this post would be at 200k by now but it’s ladies drugging men for sex and we are all just fine with it. i hate the internet.

Still only 580 notes. This is fucking terrible.

Rapist is a rapist is a rapist regardless of what gender they are, and like all rapists, they are absolute trash. Hopefully someday they’ll be tossed in prison like the predators they are.

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

i’m not saying it’s as simple or as easy as saying it. i’m not saying there aren’t situations we have no control over. i’m saying with time, some hope, and persistence you can make steps to make life easier and more enjoyable. if you want to accept the dark place you’re in, if you want to accept this attachment to dying, there’s nothing i can say to stop you. but i want to believe we can find better things.

going to comment a little on this game: the overseeing voice talks as if it owns you, and defies your free will. if you follow its orders, you are praised, and the worldview becomes sharper and more detailed. if you don’t, you are chastised, and the world becomes more vague and difficult to navigate, but also more colourful and loud. it’s odd, and sort of eerie, but definitely interesting. take it as you will.

This game really unsettles me. It unsttles me that my first choice to obey, and when I played again and disobeyed, I got really emotional really fast. Failure hurt me more the more I disobeyed. It was… interesting to experience.

i’ve always said we are trained to obey more than to think.

holy shit. i reblogged this the first time without playing. then i played in and it is terrifying. i very much like this, but it will give you intense feelings. 

What’s the game??

you obey everything the game tells you too, even jumping into barbs and basically killing yourself. if you dont youre chastised and even the scolding is terrifying

So, essentially, it’s a game that illustrates what it’s like to be in an abusive parents or an abusive relationship - and how it affects you emotionally. That is horrific and ingenious - the next time someone negates the affects of emotional abuse, I’ll take them to this game and let them come to their own conclusions.

This game absolutely gets it. The most solid and reliable degradation is a gendered insult. The more you obey and co-operate, the better understanding you seem to have of your word, and things seem easier. But what really gets me is the contradiction. You are not allowed to have the correct answer. Are you a boy or a girl? The answer is no, I will give you the answer. even towards the end, your “praise” is “no, I will give you the answer. You earned this answer, but it is given to you by me.” Disobeying makes the world frightening and confusing and difficult, but beautiful in a world devoid of flavour.

great that it’s made by a fellow australian too

Reblogging this for later.

If anyone was looking for the name it’s called Loved

Yeah, this game is PHENOMENAL but also potentially triggering. But so, so good.

OK I had to google this for Reasons and basically cardboard doesn't "attract" roaches. it's not like they can smell it and come running. it's wrong to say cardboard boxes attract roaches. BUT! if roaches happen upon your cat's cardboard box city, they **will** claim it in the name of Cockroach Kingdom and immediately take over. Roaches eat cardboard and enclosed spaces make good shelters for egg laying, so a handful of cardboard boxes really is a bountiful and wonderful discovery for them that will lead to a nice roach population boom. so basically, if you don't have a roach problem, boxes won't create a roach problem. but if you see even one(1) roach near your cardboard box stash, you should get rid of your boxes to prevent a new roach colony taking hold in your home. and as someone who has lived in a roach infested apartment, trust me when i say that if you can avoid allowing the roach colony to start, you should, bc its nearly impossible to get them to leave once they're there.

wow.

reblogging for all of us that grew up in land locked states, then visit the ocean and are used to just plunging into a lake.

All of this applies to Lake Michigan, as well. The rips aren’t as big, but they do happen. We lose tourists every year.

Reblog to save a life!

This is definitely okay to reblog and abled people are encouraged to reblog cause maybe it’ll help others understand

Hello it’s me Lexa and this post is relevant again as I just had the Legit Same Talk with someone and I exhausted my number of fucks to give

I routinely have people well aware of my disabilities/chronic illness congratulate me on how I “seem to be doing so much better these days!” on a good pain/energy day and then basically try to stage an intervention a week later on a bad one. “You seem to be on a decline lately, I’m just concerned you’re not taking care of yourself!” And then a week later on a good day again congratulate me on how I really seem to have improved and must be making a real effort to keep on top of my health, with no irony or self-awareness whatsoever. The narrative of “getting better” is so ingrained that healthy abled people will ignore massive amounts of cognitive dissonance to apply it where it makes absolutely no sense.

or we could let an unnecessary danger to swimmers die.

if you swim where the sharks are, it’s on you buddy, the animal gotta eat you don’t gotta swim

A “keystone predator” is nowhere near irreplaceable.

Do you know what keystone means??

First off, calling something a keystone predator is erroneous at best. Second, keystones can be replaced.

Cherrypicking sources from shark apologists won’t work for you either.

Ah yes. “Shark apologists”. Those who defend the problematic behavior of *checks notes* preserving species and protecting the ecosystem.

What’s with all these bitches who saw Jaws once and feel like every shark needs to die

What in the fuck is this bitch talking about “Keystone predators can be replaced” WHAT

I’m still stuck on “Shark Apologist”

Reblog if you’re a Shark Apologist

Remember when they reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone and they fixed a whole MESS of shit that nobody even realised they would fix?

Straight women should unionize

What the actual FUCK

This right here is a HUGE red fucking flag. If you’re in a relationship with someone who wants complete control over finances, especially to the point where you don’t even have access to money, this is an attempt to control and isolate. They will use ALL sorts of excuses. “I’m better with money” “You spend too much” “You’re too impulsive” etc. It has nothing to do with looking out for you or money. It’s straight up abuse and will likely lead to worse.

Also, women need to be independent in every way they can. And they also need to know what’s going on with their finances, even if their husband makes all the decisions or whatever bs goes on. Because (true story), one day that husband could die and you’ll find out that you’re in a crazy amount of debt that you never knew about because he didn’t tell you shit and that gets to be a lovely surprise after the funeral.

Same goes for the opposite men. I’ve seen it happen where a woman controlled all the money and was financially abusing the man. It happens to everyone and keep yourself safe.

And this isn’t a “straight” thing. It’s an abusive thing. 

I like how this has over 2000 notes and we pretty much all agree that it's ridiculous.

reminder to all 14-19 year olds girls. that grown man does not like you. you are a victim

He doesn’t like you, he likes your naivety and willingness to put up with shit most women his age probably won’t

Reminder that it’s not just girls that have to look out for this stuff. No matter the gender every minor should remember this

i love you. not as a partner or a friend or as family, but as someone who’s never met you and yet knows you’re worth it

“ooh you got me a new box thank yo-WHAT THE FUCK!?!”
