When I was in middle school we would do these weekly things called "Flag Salutes" where the entire school came out to the quad to stand in big ranks and sing patriotic songs. I lived in one of the most conservative counties in America and the teachers took the Flag Salutes very seriously.

We hated them. We didn't really clock the nationalist nature of the thing but we we hated being asked to stand in a big group and sing songs for nobody. It was boring and goofy. Thinking about it now, it really was just our teachers using us as fodder for a Mass Ritual to Prevent 9/11 from Happening Again.

Eventually, some kids developed a sort of game. The ceremony had all these little dramatic pauses between sections of a speech or in-between songs. Kids would wait for those little pauses and, right before the song started, just shout "NINE ELEVEN!" There was a voice for it to. You had to sound kinda like a Patrick Star or a similar exaggerated dunderhead type character.

It made the teachers incredibly mad but nobody ever got in trouble. The trick was to drop the Nine Eleven the moment before the song started so they couldn't stop to focus on who was yelling. Once they start the ritual they couldn't stop it or the spell would backfire and the Taliban Would Get You or whatever.

I feel like killing a slug with a katana is more humane than sprinkling salt on them and they slowly suffer to death and they shrink up idk

Theyre making all these goddamn movies because of the legions of survey-pigs on IMVU telling hollywood agents shit like "Yeah I'd watch a film adaptation of candy crush" in exchange for 300 credits

Finnish Face of Fascism. During the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), the Finns committed atrocities on the territory of Karelia, northern Russia. During the four years of occupation, they built dozens of concentration camps for (mainly) Slavs, places of detention for prisoners of war and jails. According to official data, about 25,000 people passed through this camp archipelago.

The Finns justify their actions with a 'floating log' theory. They believe that their country was involved in World War II as a log gets pulled into the fast-flowing northern rivers.

being a rent-a-cop is cringe as hell actually and humble bragging about it on tumblr of all places is weird even if you do have a #haha #funny story about how some kid was bad at stealing.

ultimately the reason i don't care about jesse faden is the because the game tells me she "wants to rescue her brother" without giving any meaningful chance to get invested in their sibling relationship or showing why she cares about him so much.

this is something that i find quite common in video games and it always leaves me cold. like you can't just say "oh my sibling/parent/child/lover/wife is in trouble" and then leave it at that and think that can form the basis for a strong narrative. if you want me to care about your main character you have to clear the bar set by like. super meat boy
