We Need To Have A Talk

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure threw my theory out of the window where it landed on the streets, was swept up and tossed into the landfill with the rest of the trash.

Is it only me who gets bothered by this?

It really pisses me off every. single. time. that I try looking for gacha reaction vids (gotta fill in that fandom reacting to another fandom daily quota cuz the ao3 reaction fics I read haven't updated yet.) to watch in youtube, a majority of them needs to be sped up to the fastest play speed just so I can watch them coherently and thats... okay. I myself just scroll past those vids because it ticks me off.

I get that you want more youtube watchtime from your viewers but seriously.... I don't want to be expecting to watch a ten minute vid for example just to need to speed it up to 1.75x and watch as the red line on the bottom of the video basically blitzes to the end in more or less 6 minutes.

I know making gacha reaction content is hard but I don't wanna see shameless watchtime grabs every time I try to watch a reaction vid.

Why do you make videos that need to be sped up to be watchable. I feel lied to every time I bring my hopes up just to get disappointed because the vid creator couldn't make a video with normal speed for some reason.

Not to mention, A whole lot of them are basically just obnoxious breaks (as in the creator of the video just shows us a black screen with random videos playing on it without the characters that should've been there reacting to a certain content.) that I couldn't care less about. One or two short breaks is enough if your video isn't even that long (i.e. less than ten minutes). I see some creators going 'Teehee break 😋' and it's a four minute break in 10 minute video that I had to speed up to 1.75x to watch! The actual reaction content that the title of the video promised basically just lasted 3 minutes (less than that because the vid was sped up) because the vid maker just couldn't resist and put in another 3 minute break just a few videos after the last break.

And then there are those vids that don't need to be sped up but have breaks every other edit that the characters react to. Like wtf are you doin.

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test

feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.

information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:

Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.

Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.

there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters

Prepare/secure your home

Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave

If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.

General resources/information:

Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!

Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!

i think before you marry someone, you should sit down and go through the AITA subreddit with them and see what their take on those situations is

when people visit, I keep almost intervening in how they interact with Belphie, because they'll pick him up and carry him around, or cuddle him up to their face, etc....but then I'll see Belphie closing his eyes and leaning into it, purring full-blast, and it's like oh okay he wants to be treated like a stuffed animal. he's into this. I'll let everyone just do their thing, then.

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up

Just made myself so so sad thinking about Aang's marble trick because from a physics perspective, keeping dense spherical objects afloat on an airstream is not trivial, and he's doing it in a tiny little space without moving his hands. Bending is usually very gestural. So. Everyone in the era of the show is, at best, impressed THAT it is airbending. But Aang's an incredibly young master airbender. He wouldn't be acting like this was the bestest trick ever if it didn't take at least some skill; he's a goofy kid but he's also a prodigy. I bet other airbenders were absolutely blown away (pun fully intended) at the level of precision and force and minimalism of movement on display and now there's no one who understands at all why he expects accolades.

Lucius Fox must be having SUCH a bad time if he knows Bruce Wayne’s secret identity because now he has to sit through board meetings next to a man who he knows broke sixteen bones between two henchmen last night because they didn’t give Batman the hideout address fast enough but is somehow patient and self-controlled enough to let Lisa from WE Accounting rip into him without even twitching.

Okay Severance is the best show out there but I genuinely believe it would be elevated to another entire level if they add a little box in the right corner showing Ms Cobel's live reaction to everything going down in the episodes that she wasn't in
