every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.
Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

i just keep thinking about what a labor of love technoblade vs 100 youtubers was. thinking about... i was scared to watch it at first, because i knew tommy was editing it, and i love tommy don't get me wrong but techno videos have such a specific pace and style of editing to them. but then. it's all so... the pacing is exactly a techno video. techodad reads the kind of narration techno would normally do (which i have been informed tommy wrote for him). the thumbnail is an appropriate piece of fanart, and there's an overly-serious quote in the description. the way the ending is paced. the entire extended joke about techno having the hiccups is EXACTLY something techno would leave in. i don't know man. it felt like exactly the kind of video techno would have made from that event, if he'd gotten the opportunity, and it's just... the effort that had to go into making it like that.
i miss technoblade, man, but this was a little like having him around again for a moment, you know?
Or alternatively titled: Snake Jamil, but even larger noodle
The species that Jamil is based on here is called the Blood Python (special thanks to @kirexa for the information!), which can reach an average of 4-6 ft in length and up to 30 lbs in weight.
so i recently tried to hack my ps2 and after everything i can say it's like, technically easy but the documentation is a godless wasteland compared to n*ntendo systems. one of the major forums has IP banned like half the world including me before i even visited it and most of the text guides are outdated but the more recent ones are 💀 video guides (also frequently outdated)
anyway so my friend and i decided to try to make a couple 3ds.hacks.guide style guides for the ps2. if you have a fat ps2 you can use the internal hdd guide and if you have a slim ps2 you can use the ESR disc method
