the one unrealistic beauty standard in media i’m willing to forgive is when a fictional character removes their helmet and instead of a tangled, sweaty mess of helmet hair they just look slightly disheveled but, like, in a sexy way because that’s hot
I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post.
So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.
do not fear! copy the link to the article
go to sci-hub.se (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)
So we all know Netflix tends to go overboard with its advertising: trailers playing unprompted, constant "Play Now" title cards popping up every few second, the absolute chaos of marketing can get annoying. HOWEVER, after the recent release of Netflix's "Don't F*** With Cats", they're OPENLY advertising subjects of animal cruelty and possibly worse.
I found myself watching the trailer today, curious on what it was, and guys. It fucking triggered a panic attack. I literally sat through people describing and at brief moments even showing animal cruelty and murder on screen.
The overall reception of unsuspecting viewers has been overwhelmingly negative.
Please, I advise you that if you have anxiety, PTSD, love animals, or are generally triggered by uncensored cruelty and shock value horror, PLEASE AVOID THIS SHOW AND TRAILER. And if you can, let Netflix know that this sort of subject matter should not be advertised so openly without permission or warning (They don't even bother with "Viewer Discretion" warnings).
Please spread this and let other users know to avoid!
not to be bitter or anything but like. why do parents always try to make you feel like you should be grateful to have a roof over your head and food on your plate.
So cringy when people are like "cats aren't affectionate i know this first hand!1!" Maybe your cat would follow you around as well if your vibes weren't so rancid
i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.
listen i try to be tolerant. i try to stay in my lane. but australians call sprinkles “hundreds and thousands” and that just fucking crosses the line i cant take it anymore
PG&E is turning off my power (Updated 10/26 9:30am)
Hey everyone, I’m updating the post I made last night.
California is in a state of emergency, there’s fires all over and our corporate greed entity PG&E is planning on shutting off our power because their faulty lines could cause more fires. The power is planned to shut off tonight at 7pm but they still will not confirm if it is happening. This gives me less than 9-10 hours to prepare for a multiple day power outage, and with PG&E stating they will MOST LIKELY shut off the power, I need to prepare just in case.
I rely on medications that require refrigeration, and with no power I could lose my critical medication. I also need to stock up on non perishables and batteries, but I have very little money to make these preparations.
Please consider donating to help me get through this. While bashing PG&E is highly justified, it’s more important to help those directly impacted by corporate greed.
