#Reddit can just die

[gibbearish]

idk how to say this right but i feel like people going through aaron bushnell's reddit comment history to try and figure out how Morally Pure™ he was and therefore if you're allowed to support his actions or not are. missing the point. in a lot of ways

So another i hate america moment, turns out my insurance won't cover the inhaler i need to y'know, breathe, unless i get a preauth for it (proooove, prooove to us u cannot breathe without this special powder) so tonight we are drawing gojo while being so short on breath it's dizzying and my head a lil numb

looking up anything about connor online is just. which flavour of racism in the ac fandom do YOU want to experience today!

thinkin about Subnautica and the first time I played it... hahaha, I went in almost completely blind (I'd watched a tiny bit of a YTer play it and loads of ppl were saying, if you like the look of this and wanna play it don't spoil yourself, just go do it rn! so I did, lol).

I LOVE the ocean, first off. I don't think I'd ever be capable of diving? But I love the idea of it and it does not scare me in the slightest. I had ZERO idea the game is considered scary by most people. Absolutely NO idea haha. Even when I saw my first Leviathan/Reaper, I was just kinda like, oh yeah of course there's big predators, better steer clear! Nbd, if I die the consequences aren't too bad so eh. Like they definitely jump scared me a few times, but nothing crazy.

But really what sticks out to me in hindsight... this is SO stupid... it took me forEVER to figure out that I needed to scan stuff to get blueprints.

i fucking SWAM ALL THE WAY TO THE FIRST ISLAND. Or the first island I went to, the north/northwest one. I didn't even question it. I was like, oh yeah it's an exploration they want you take your time. I thought I was being a jerk, skipping all the way to the first big new thing "so quickly". About three quarters of the way back to the pod I was like "Okay, I feel like I've progressed more story, let's check in on that YTer and see what they're doing" to see him riding around with the seaglider!! I was like WTF!!!!

My mistake was SO dumb it was hard to even find like, an explanation of what I was doing wrong. Like, everything I googled said how to find the scannable items, not that you even HAD to scan them or with WHAT. Like telling someone how to make sauce and they don't know how to turn on the stovetop. SO SO silly.

Anyways. What a game.

ALSO. wait sorry this is so long

I NEVER FOUND A SECOND BEACON TO SCAN.

Let me run that by you again. I played the ENTIRE game without beacons. I could probably actually navigate almost the entire map without thinking much irl at this point. I just had to like... use "land" marks and be patient. I had to know where I was at on the map (which I finally started looking up to be able to find the paths to the lower chambers way later in the game) (but before then I just used the Aurora, the cloud glitches around the island and my brain) and triangulate my fucking position like a sailor and be like, okay if I'm here and wanna go here I gotta head in a SWS direction" hahaha.

Anyways. Wonderful game. One of the few games I sincerely wish I could erase my memory of and play blind again. I'm usually not the type to wish that, I'm love replaying stuff. But this was so so special on that first run.

This 'only el is important and special' thing is really funny to me because i have never seen any other fandom claiming something like this before.

Like, can you imagine the star wars fandom claiming only luke is special and matters? like obvi luke is portrayed more as a main character but how's that translate into ''it is about luke and luke only''? or can you imagine LOTR fans saying only frodo or only aragorn are important and The Most Special etc.

Or wednesday fans saying only wednesday is the important and special one so the other characters' revealing and expanding on their powers is bad, enid is just a random character whose supernatural power shouldnt be explored, and other characters with the psychic abilities shouldnt exist bc it makes wednesay less important and less special...

Like. It just simply doesnt make any sense what are you saying now lol? I always try to use ST fans' logic for other fandoms and it just doesnt work at all. There is this obsession that El should be the sole focus, the sole reason, the sole important and most special person in the story and if any other character gets a focus in some way? Then it reduces El's character... AND IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE!!!!

Why would Luke's importance would be reduced just because he got a twin sister who can help him? Why would Frodo or Aragorn's importance would be reduced just because there are other special people in the story or skilled fighters that can help them or contribute something to the story overall? Why would Wednesday not be important because the show gave other characters psychic powers sometimes stronger than Wednesday's and more special in other cases?

I am sorry for rambling but this logic just. simply not making sense to me. ST fandom is really, really weird...

no need to ever apologize when you are spitting nothing but real and true facts, my dear anon! i have nothing to add because you honestly said it all! 📣📣📣

i'm way too lazy to explain why (and i'm sure someone else with more patience than me will eventually make a good post on this) but if you're one of those people who unironically thinks the internet will be better off if Reddit dies, i'm just blocking you on sight tbh

It's not an immediate change. When the party arrived in Baldur's gate, Nøkk became quieter. Bit by bit. You could hear him sing to himself or tell tales by the campfire less and less. If he didn't need it to cast spells, Nøkk's violin would have started to collect dust. The night before the journey to the Bhaal temple was dead silent.

redditors are so fucking weird, sometimes they don't even know what hill they're dying on all they know is that they're gonna die on it for sure

Self diagnosing myself with byler doubt

I rbd a post abt it a while ago but it is Truly annoying that every result about mixing xyz thing with abc thing (medication, alcohol, drugs) is just "DON'T NO MATTER WHAT" every time as if that's helpful at all and doesn't diminish how seriously people take that warning when there's something you Actually shouldn't mix. And then the next ten links immediately assume you're an addict like ok or you could give me useful information

i want to consume more nukani content but must try VERY hard ,,.not to look at nukani tag in whatever socmed is happening rn ... tiny spoileies.

[internet-tears]

i fucking love that reddit migration and twitter migration are actually treated like irl phenomena yes i know this might cause an ecosystem imbalance in the long run but idc refugees always welcome i love that despite everything despite weird rich losers collapsing the internet and making it uninhabitable online communities still maintain an aura of make-believe in their own little world that made social media so fun in the first place

doordash has seemingly gone out of their way to make it impossible to give my dasher a rating of any kind… wtf?

Like?? He was really nice even tho I inconvenienced him soo badly and was really awkward, and I specifically SAID I’d rate him well as he was leaving… now I look like a liar bc they didn’t even give me the option 😔
