Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.
More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.
Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.
Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.
Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.
Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.
Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.
"The only person who can save you is yourself, don't rely on anybody else!"
Actually, what has saved me is books and my favourite video game and my cats and my friends who I've shared late nights and too-early mornings with and the dew-covered grass I walked on on the way to a competition bus in ninth grade band and the sunburn that kept me out of school for days the month prior.
I understand the viewpoint of how you are ultimately the person who can save you, but don't discount that you aren't an island. You aren't meant to be your sole savior. Let others save you, too. You are worth the care and love the universe has for you.
i think adrien would love saying “the horrors” someone should teach him that. as explanations for your awful mental/physical state go, it checks like all his boxes: vague, deflective, silly. “what’s wrong adrien?” “oh you know. the horrors😸” like he would love that.
Eddie post a Tiktok of Steve mid-rant about how the party doesn’t use their shared calendar correctly. You can tell this has been going on for a while because Steve is just listing stupid stuff that’s on it now - “On the twentieth, Dustin wrote ‘Moon.’ ???? Is he going to the fucking moon?! Is he looking at it? Max wrote a threat for Thanksgiving, but like, not a descriptive one so I don’t know… I don’t know what it means. Is she threatening us to come over?” The entire time Steve is ranting, Eddie is nodding along while zooming in on his ass.
CONGRATULATIONS @more-depresso-less-espresso AND @mushtoons!!!
Its been a long three months, but we finally have our winners! So many people came to vote, and yet this final round has firmly held its tie through it all! Congratulations guys!
Thank you everybody for coming! We'll see you either in the little events and games we've started planning for after our month's break, or in the next babygirl tournament starting around January next year!
How funny is it that in 3rd Life Scar befriended nearly everyone and almost won
Now he’s forced to be the villain and even said himself he had given up making friends and leaning into it
Yet across the whole episode he was hanging with BDubs.
He was giving string, gunpowder, advice, warnings, to everyone he came across.
Diffusing bombs with BDubs
Waiting up for others as they were actively chased by a warden.
Offering his revenge to Joel to give him- his potential competition- more hearts.
He was willing to let Pearl get a SECOND win.
Even if it was just his plan to betray in the end, he still chose to help instead of going totally berserk like he definitely could have, seeing as he had multiple plates of revenge to dish out.
He made himself a monopoly of friendship and won this time.
There is no stopping this man. He WILL give you 15% return on investment.
