If you care about anything I've posted hear me out

You need to know what's going on in Rio Grande do Sul

They're going through an unprecented crisis due to immense flooding. THIS IS NOT A ROUTINE OR NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN THERE!

People's houses are literally floating away. Animals are drowning. People are getting terribly hurt and being left completely homeless out of the blue

One day they were living normal lives, the next the sudden flood either took everything away or left them stranded in what suddenly became an island surrounded by rubble-filled water

From what I've heard the Rios Grande do Sul state also suffered immense flooding last year and some were just now getting stable again after that, and in cane a flooding up to three times worse

The water is still going up. It is not stopping. The situation is getting worse

They're being left resource-less and incommunicated and from what I've heard this isn't even getting proper coverage within Brazil itself

Please listen to the actual Brazilians, I wanna help them out but I'm not Brazilian myself. Look up Rio Grande do Sul, see what's going on, see if you can donate to help them out

I'll provide some links to video coverage of the situation because

If you speak portuguese, thus video covers the current and last year's situation well as well as speaking on the lack of proper media coverage

An outside force has been attracted to Cyber activities recently. Something very malevolent and dangerous, but focused solely on retribution. They've destroyed most they came across, and infused what remains with malevolent energy. Corruption is a very strange phenomenon. Infusing Constructs with malevolent energy results in their appearance and purposes being warped in vile and alien ways, often turning the simplest of Constructs into deadly foes.

When a Sun Virs is corrupted, their bodies display little change at first, only showing horns coming from their top. When awakened, however, the corruption truly sets in as their routines activate, causing the malevolent energy to burst out of the shell like a dragon hatching from an egg.

This new form is known as a Mauler Virs. Due to the ejected mass, they are much more agile than their uncorrupted counterparts, and their arms are replaced with flexible blades of "Tenebrous Matter", which can be used for both mauling their enemies as well as grappling onto terrain to navigate.

However, due to the lack of traditional armaments, they lack a basic ranged attack. Mauler Virses make up for this in multiple ways; firstly, by being very fast. Secondly, they can create destructive shockwaves by stomping the ground. Lastly, should they be attacked in their exposed weakspot, they automatically retaliate by ejecting flares towards what hurt them.

Emergency Preps for Everyday Uses:

Our emergency supplies not only apply to catastrophic scenarios, but also prepares us for some day-to-day needs that require immediate attention. Additionally, it helps to actually know what we have, check for expired items and how to properly use what we have. Just remember to restock your kit after using something from it. Prepping and emergency preparedness don't make sense to many outside the survival lifestyle. We all know how important our preps will be when SHTF, but outsiders just don't get it; they view our emergency kit and supplies sitting on a shelf, awaiting a disaster that will never come. Read on to find out how to use your emergency preps for practical, everyday use. Unemployment: With job security a thing of the past, any smart person will stock up in case they are no longer able to provide for their family. House Fire: It's important that everyone in your home is well-trained in emergency procedures. Preparing for disaster can be as simple as making a plan with your family on how to get out of the house in a dangerous situation. Minor Injuries: Staying stocked up on emergency first aid supplies and knowing about good home remedies is very important for everyday life. A full-fledged emergency first aid kit is key to your health and safety and will come in handy very often for minor injuries. Car Catastrophes: Keeping an emergency kit stocked up and prepared, away from home, is a good idea no matter where you are. Car Trouble: Cars break down. Tires go flat. Engines overheat. Belts break. You name it, it can go wrong when you're out on the open road. Keep the best car emergency kit in your vehicle. Natural Disasters: Disaster preparedness will be your ticket to making it through a disaster whether you need to shelter in place or evacuate. Evacuation: When everyone else is running to the store to grab the last minute things they need to secure their homes and hit the road, you'll be ready to roll and out of there before traffic slows you down. Unexpected House Guests: When you're a little stocked up, you can rest easy knowing you have bedding, food, and extra supplies to accommodate your surprise visitors. Don't forget to restock. Emergency Last Minute Food: We've all been in a pinch and needed to throw together some food at the last minute. If you have extra stock on hand, you won’t have to run to the store and waste valuable time. Don't forget to restock. Power Outage: At best, power outages are annoying. At worst, they can be downright scary. A little extra food and some basic emergency preparedness tools, such as a flashlight and some candles, will keep you much more comfortable. Maintains a State of Readiness: By regularly using our supplies, we are, in essence, practicing and preparing so that a "real" emergency will not panic us. We will know where to go, and what to do.

This picture shows the origin of my fascination with hotels, especially decaying and abandoned ones. I wouldn’t say that it’s the source of my interest in urban expolration. That one goes further back to 1990, just after the Iron Courtain fell, but that’s a story for another time.

This photo here was taken in the late 90s, from what I can gather around Easter 1998. Until the early 2000s, my family always went skiing in the same holiday time-sharing village in the Austrian alps. Next to that resort was a huge hotel complex that always fascinated me. It seemed to  me like a whole town under one roof and the name “Club Robinson” as well as the pools I could see through the windows were so exotic. 

I was never allowed to go in, even though friends of my family stayed there instead of the other resort, from time to time. This added to the mystery, making it a black box for me.

Then it burned down shortly before we went there one year. It must have been a huge fire, devastating many parts of the building. Nobody was hurt, though news reports I can find on the internet say that guests had to evacuate in their underware.

This snow-covered ruin has burned itself into my brain since then.
