We are going to hell
[ID:// A screenshot of a tiktok video and some comments. The video says “Why don’t the billionaires in the submarine just pull themselves up by their bootstraps (three suspicious face emojis) why is the hand of the free market not guiding them up to the surface????”. The comments read: “eventually the air will trickle down”
“maybe if they spent less on avocado toast and Netflix they could have spent more money making a safer sub”
“well if they work really hard in 76 years they can save up for some air (two praying hand emojis)”
“the fact they need the coast guard (the government) to bail them out is not very free market of them”
“Have they tried getting a second job?”
“Why don’t they cause inflation like they always do and float up???”
“Why dont they use trickle down economics to spread all the ocean water to the poor??? (suspicious emoji)”
“their portfolio wasn’t diversified enough ig”

this gets so much funnier when you consider that people literally just live on mount everest, there’s a perfect parallel between random europeans “discovering” a mountain that people already live on and medical professionals suddenly discovering autism despite people having it going back god knows how long
I once read a post (probably on twitter) where someone asked something like: If neurodiverse people have always been around, how did they get by in times past and ancient times?
The thread was about how there were accommodations even if people of the times didn’t truly understand differences in the way the brain worked. So you’re sensitive to sound and want to be left alone hyperfixating? Welcome to the Abbey where we make illuminated manuscripts. Welcome to the jewelry guild where we make the tiniest of beads, then string them together into complex designs. Welcome to the rug factory where we do the same but with animal hair.
Hell, in ancient times it was probably much easier to be neurodiverse and to be accommodated because there weren’t these ridiculous ideas about having to work 8 hours straight in a day, or even work during the day, and there wasn’t so much effing noise everywhere, or the same kinds of societal expectations, not to mention being far more community-minded instead of individualistic.

wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet
i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
Literally this
My favourite is the guy saying, “This is like being at the dmv”

Good/terrible news! There’s audio!
Oh yeah, this is absolutely true! The area of the North of England where they grow most of it is sometimes referred to as the Rhubarb Triangle. The centre of it is the city of Wakefield, which holds an annual Rhubarb Festival.

every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar
i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime
Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:
- 300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced
- 1 medium onion, diced.
- Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)
- 300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.
- 3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.
- 800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.
- 1 head of broccoli.
- 8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour.
- 1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)
- ½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- ½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.
- 1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.
Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!
- In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.
- In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.
- Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.
- The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.
- Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.
- Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.
- Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.
- Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.
- Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.
- Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.
- ENJOY!
Notes:
I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.
VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.
I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.
You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.
You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.
Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.
Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.
Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!
Provecho!
this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much
Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!
Can confirm this soup is absolutely divine!
Substituted spinach for broccoli because my partner is not a fan of the latter and used chicken and bacon. Gonna try it again with a nice Italian sausage in place of the chicken next time.

Captions shouldn’t be censored. If the video says fuck or cum or cunt the captions should say the fucking word.
Unless it’s a slur! No one needs to see that.
If they say a slur in the video, the captions should reflect it. The disabled are not little babies who have to have life sanitized for them.
okay but I feel like ur forgetting that slurs don’t just apply to the disabled… children don’t need to be seeing the n-word or other racial slurs??
but children DO need to be hearing it? are you actually reading the post here?
Here’s how it works when subtitles are done properly:
Audio: Let’s BEEP go!
Subtitle: Let’s (censor tone) go!Audio: Let’s fucking go!
Subtitle: Let’s fucking go!Removing swears and slurs from the subtitles without removing it from the audio is implying that deaf/HoH people need babying, unlike their hearing friends and family sitting right next to them. Which is frustrating.
The point of subtitles is to give the same experience to everyone watching, regardless of ability—not to be a more palatable version of what’s being said.
