bonus objectives

The primary purpose of life is, depending on who you ask and what mood they're in, to live virtuously, to be of net benefit to the world, to enjoy yourself, to pass on your genes, to pass on your memes, or nothing at all--or some other bit of boring nonsense. The following are your bonus objectives. Point values are loosely based on a combination of difficulty, pointlessness, and entertainment value.

Get the IAU to name a planetary feature, solar system object, star, or exoplanet "Butthole." (5 points; +5 points if it's a crater) 2. Convince at least one U.S. state to officially allocate its electoral college votes to a nonhuman primate (5 points) or other animal (10 points).

Become the first internationally recognized Emperor of Mars. (5 points)

Be the cause of a major revision to the UNCLOS. (5 points)

Start a new religion that gains at least 10,000 followers. (1 point; +4 points if it's not an offshoot of an exisiting major world religion; +10 points if it doesn't closely reference any major world religions' mythology or theology at all; +5 if that includes not borrowing any major new age or neopagan concepts; +10 if you do all this on, or convince your followers to move to, another body or planet in the Solar System; +10 if your religion subsequently becomes another major world religion; +25 if it's *not* principally a Scientology-style scam; +50 points if the place in the Solar System you establish as your religion's spiritual center is the one you convinced the IAU to name "Butthole")

Start a new political ideology that wins power in a UN member state. (1 point; +4 points if it's not just a cosmetic rework of an existing political ideology; +5 points if you win power through constitutional means; +10 points if you manage to retain power for at least 5 years)

Circumnavigate the globe under your own power. (10 points)

Leave the Solar System (dead or alive). (15 points; being on an escape trajectory will suffice for the purposes of scoring, unless that trajectory is likely to be intercepted or disrupted by a solar system body like a planet or asteroid; +50 points if you're somehow still alive when you hit the heliopause)

Touch an object of interstellar origin on an escape trajectory from the solar system (such as 'Oumuamua) and say "Tag, you're it," while remaining in contact. (20 points)

Develop a conlang that is used regularly by at least 10,000 people. (15 points; +25 points for every order of magnitude increase in users after that number; +100 points if it becomes a standard international auxiliary language spoken at least as widely as English)

Can't Fuck Bracket - Group Stage. Group 1: Mob Psycho (Part 1)

Reigen Arataka versus Reigen Arataka versus Reigen Arataka versus Reigen Arataka versus Reigen Arataka versus Reigen Arataka

[ID: The unfuckable pride flag overlaid with the "no bitches" meme. On top of it are several pictures of Reigen making exaggerated grimaces and sweating. Reigen is a light skinned Japanese man with short blond hair. End ID]

In all seriousness, we got too many submissions for Reigen, so I am doing this poll for you guys to pick which PROPAGANDA should be used for him. The maximum any other character has is two propagandas so the TWO most voted ones will represent Reigen in the tournament

Propaganda:

Reigen Arataka 1: "cringe. fail. pathetic. loser. canonically doesnt fuck. has never touched a woman in his life. hes sweaty. he got cancelled on twitter. hes the internet sex icon not the real life sex icon he doesnt fuck"

Reigen Arataka 2: "hes kinda ugly :/"

Reigen Arataka 3: "He has absolutely no swag. Nobody wants him. Gets rejected so many times"

Reigen Arataka 4: "most bitchless motherfucker this side of seasoning city. once when asked about his previous romantic pursuits he lied by reciting the plot of titanic as if he were leonardo dicaprio"

Reigen Arataka 5: "Literally when talking about his past love life he makes up the plot of the titanic. Gets no bitches, sweaty as all hell, and just like. Have you seen him? Internet sex symbol but he gets no sex this is false advertising at its finest."

Reigen Arataka 6: "dude okay listen. he is chronically bitchless. when giving out advice on how to woo someone he was just reading tips off of google. there was once a big hype where the author, ONE, was going to reveal reigen’s past romantic endeavors in an in character q&a but it was just reigen making up bullshit about how he’s “DEFINITELY had so many girlfriends before and he once held one at the front of a famous boat. oh that was from a movie? UMMM well it doesn’t matter anyway.” literally just saying something from the first romance movie that comes to mind and trying to pass it off as something he did himself."

AITA for making fun of a goddess?

Okay, so there's a fair amount of context here… I guess I'd better start with the gods who showed up to participate in my city's local bloodsport tournament, since that's when things started getting weird (or weirder than they already were, I guess). I'll call them R, G, B, and P for the sake of this story, but P is the only one who's super relevant here.

So the tournaments went on hiatus for a while last year, and while that was happening P decided it would be a great idea to use her dream powers to run extra tournaments in these weird… shared dreams she's able to create.

Now, I never really interacted with P personally before the dream tournaments. I knew she existed, and I saw her vaporize R on live TV for "defying her," so already some pretty big red flags, but y'know. I only officially met her during the dream tournaments. In meeting her, I learned that not only is she, in fact, awful, but also that she gets VERY pissy when things don't go exactly the way she thinks they should. So, naturally, I made fun of her a bit for it… which may have involved copying her style of speech (kind of like speaking in italics and adding a bunch of smiley faces in random places) and mocking her to her face when we fought in the tournament. Obviously, she wasn't happy about that and started threatening me in the vague, ominous manner of a cartoon villain. I wasn't too worried, y'know, since we were in a dream world.

The thing is… recently in one of those dream tournaments she suddenly sent us into a new dimension she apparently created, so I'm a bit more worried about her threats a bit more. Particularly because a friend (friends, plural? I'm not sure) told me she was ranting about wanting to kill me and my boyfriend while she was really pissed off. The process of getting sent to the new dimension already fucked me up a bit (nothing unfixable, but it still kinda sucks) and she doen't know my boyfriend is here yet, but I'm worried about what she'll do to him if she finds out.

So, TL;DR, I might've pissed off a goddess and now I'm worried she might try to hurt my boyfriend because of it. AITA?

CITY FLAG TOURNAMENT FAQ

Starting date TBD. This tournament is being run by the mod of @ultimatepokemontournament, and I have two more Pokemon tournaments planned to run near its completion, so it may not start for a bit. I also want to keep nominations open for longer to get as many contestants as possible. Unlike the Pokemon tournaments, I'm open for volunteer mods. If you're interesting in modding, send me a DM.

This tournament will be strictly 1v1, regardless of the number of competitors.

Polls will be open for a week.

The goal of this tournament is NOT to determine which city flag has the best design but rather each flag should be judged along more subjective means. Which you like the best, which one draws more emotion from you, etc. The exact parameters are yours to decide for yourself.

The fact is, there are a great many city flags out there, past and present. Therefore, voting depending on vexillological/personal/jokey standards are not explicitly discouraged.

NOMINATION FAQ

NOMINATION FORM HERE

City is a general term here, and thus, flags for towns, unincorporated communities, etc. are allowed. Basically, anything below the county level, though terms may vary depending on locale.

Flags don't have to be the present flag or even a past flag, so long as it was officially acknowledged as a candidate at some point.

It goes without saying that flags don't have to be from the USA.

Flags with any hate symbols on them will not be considered.

Nominated flags must have been made with the intent of being used on a permanent basis. Special occasion flags will not be considered.

As cool as they can be, flags of non-city communities will not be considered as they fall outside of the purview of this tournament.

Even if you think a flag has been nominated, it's encouraged that you submit it again if you like it. Nominations will be used to seed the tournament.

Independence Day Gift Guide: Costumes

On Independence Day, many U.S. cities have parades and crowds led by troop veterans, civic organizations and local high-ranking officials. Many local Americans will dress in reference to the colors of the American flag: red, white and blue. These colors were seen everywhere that day. Whether it's shirts, pants, hats, pet clothes, or decorative bunting hanging from buildings, or even on nails, these three colors can be seen. So, you can prepare some clothing similar to the American flag.

Food

Nathan's Hot Dog Contest has been an annual tradition for Americans to celebrate Independence Day. In addition to eating hot dogs, there are also beachside barbecues and other activities. As a result, a large part of the expenses of American consumption will be spent on food.

Infantino’s bullish language might now better describe something few in soccer have seen before: the state of uncertainty and rising concern that surrounds several elements of the tournament affecting fans, sponsors and broadcasters.

Moving the date of the opening game, and shifting the kickoff time of another match the next day, will disrupt plans made by teams, fans, sponsors and broadcasters and even the tournament’s marketing staff, which has spent millions of dollars buying advertising space around the world to mark the 100-day countdown to the World Cup — a milestone now shifted forward to Friday — in signage wrapping buses and taxis in major capital cities around the world. All of those campaigns, as of Thursday, suddenly proclaimed the wrong date for the opening game.

Three months before the tournament, for example, Qatar has yet to unveil concrete plans about the kind of experience fans can expect during their visits, including what they will need to enter the country; where they will stay when they arrive; how the police will handle violations of Qatari laws about public behavior; and where and how fans will be able to consume alcoholic beverages in Qatar, a conservative Muslim country where the sale of alcohol is tightly controlled and where the public consumption of it is almost nonexistent.

How the tournament — with more than one million visitors expected to visit — will be secured also still has not been articulated. Qatar has signed policing agreements with several nations, notably Turkey, which in January said it would be providing more than 3,000 security personnel, including riot police, for a tournament in which fans of the 32 competing nations — some of them bitter rivals — will rub shoulders for weeks in an area smaller than the state of Connecticut. Unofficially, Qatari officials have said the imported security officers will not be in direct contact with fans. But so far — and unlike for previous World Cups — scant detail on that matter, and several others, has been publicly available.

At the same time, representatives of some participating teams are discovering that finding space for players to socialize outside of their hotels in such a small geographic area has been an issue. “I don’t know if they get out of the hotel, they will be surrounded with thousands of fans,” said Iva Olivari, the team manager for Croatia. “I cannot tell you exactly what we are facing,” she added. “We will have to deal with it when we get there.”

Officials in Qatar’s organizing committee have by now gotten used to such last-minute and sometimes inexplicable revisions to plans that were months in the making. In 2019, for example, staff members who had prepared a detailed marketing and communication plan to announce the opening of what was to be the al-Wakrah stadium were stunned to discover — only minutes before the country’s emir arrived to open the venue — that he had taken to social media to say it would instead be called the al-Janoub stadium.

At other times, Qatar and its ambassadors have been their own worst enemies. Asked on a call with reporters last year about how many migrant workers have died on construction projects, a question that organizers have faced since work first began on World Cup projects almost a decade ago, Nasser al-Khater, the chief executive of the organizing committee, appeared to guess at the number before being corrected by a staff member. In April, World Cup officials had to provide clarifications after a senior security official told a reporter that rainbow flags, a symbol of gay rights, could be seized from fans for their own protection.

Okay, it’s time to talk about this episode because oh boy I do have things to say.

So. Ignoring that whole battle thing (which I will get to later), I actually semi liked the other stuff that happened before it. 

-Hop challenging Ash to a battle without even introducing himself was p funny to me. Guess he isn’t quite at Leon’s level yet since Pikachu wrecked the wooloo with 1 iron tail 😅 (Makes sense, though)

-Also the introduction scene was p cool! There are many things I could bring up about it but at least in that scene Alain and Ash acknowledged each other’s existence. I may talk a bit more about this later but honestly it /really/ sucked that Alain didn’t get any proper interaction with the other characters before the battle and his first lines in general were at the 12th minute. Trust me, I did pay attention to it. But yeah, a note to the pokeani writers: you can’t expect me to enjoy a battle that has 0 build up. Apparently Alain had been excited to battle Leon? Well, WE WOULDN’T KNOW bc he literally didn’t say anything before the battle. 

-Iris was genuinely the best part in this episode because her enthusiasm over all the things was adorable :*)) Pls kick that Shirona’s butt, girl! (Well, unfortunately she won’t but goodness gracious give her a better battle than what Alain got). Also aww, she was so starstruck by the other female champions :’) (reminder to the writers tho that she did meet Cynthia before and she didn’t ask for a photo then :P)

-The champions commenting the battles together in the same room was a good idea. It’s cool to see them interacting with each other!

-Tbh Steven saying ‘I hope he won’t get overwhelmed’ was already a red flag to me; I had a feeling the battle would end badly after that. I can only hope Alain will still stay to watch the rest of the tournament...

-TR my beloved, finally you’re back! I’m so sorry JN has treated you so badly but I’m definitely looking forward to your commentary in the upcoming eps (let’s be real, they will 1000% be rooting for the twerp)

-I really was expecting this to be an ‘opening’ episode for the tournament but instead we got an entire battle within it... Guess I should finally talk about it a bit. Idk what else I can say other than the obvious ‘it was really bad’. Not even Charizard lasted long enough for this battle to continue to the next episode :d Maybe its meaning was to show Ash&the others that Leon rly is a freaking force of nature (he didn’t even use giga charizard!) but.... it really sucks that Alain was the character who had to be on the other end... Give him more credit than that. The dude beat 10 mega evolution users, incl. an E4 member, in a row. 

-To my disappointment the Chesnaught did not end up being Chespie bc we did see Chespie with Manon in Lumiose City. But you can’t take the HC that Alain still got inspired by Manon to use one from me. Overall I think a Chesnaught was a good writing choice for Alain bc it does make sense but I can’t say same for the Malamar. Alain may look edgy but considering that one of the creepiest TF guys had a Malamar I would like to think that he’d be hesitant to use mons that are somehow associated with that group.

-Getting back to Manon, thank goodness we did at least see a glimpse of her with Prof Sycamore watching the battle at the lab. Well, the ultimate option would have been to see them watching him at the STADIUM but I am guessing that pokeani team wasn’t willing to hire voice actors for them just for a couple of lines so that could have been the biggest reason why we only saw these glimpses of them. The other reason being that as much as I try to deny it, this is not Alain’s story anymore, it’s Ash’s, so the writers didn’t want to put too much focus on him. I just wish we could have seen a happier shot of my bb girl in the end ;____; My heart said </3 when I saw Sycamore comforting her. 

I could probably continue this even longer but maybe I’ll quit for now. In conclusion tho: I did like most of the non battle parts, I was happy to see Alain and even a glimpse of Manon BUT the battle was so bad that I can’t give very high points to this episode. The only thing that can save it in my eyes is that Alain will still stick around till the end of the tournament. We’ll see how that goes. Somehow I’ll have to wait 3 weeks to find out :d

I know I said that I wouldn't be doing any other tournaments, but I've been having such a great time hosting this that I'm reconsidering! Would anyone like to see a competition for the best US city flag? It would be either the top 32 or 64 US cites from the Wikipedia "List of United States cities by population;" the number would just depend on what people are more interested in.

Started watching anime on a whim

Watched 5 episodes of uh the one about the edgy feral witch"s apprentice and i kept waiting for it to get good and theres some good story ideas but too much of is stupid. Also would have worked better with a female protag. Wow he really is consistently feral rather liked that concept actually. But too much of it is contrived like dude's phone has a command to conveniently unlock all the cells with no restrictions or in general the lack to security checks on weapons. Or really the put the one witch baby tree where the humans can get it? And then protag levels half a city but struggles to kill this one dude. Also anime crimes against women: rape for cheap drama is so boring to watch. Op ed songs were great tho.

Finally watching jujutsu kaisen and over the last few years i have seen sooo much stuff for this show and i still didnt know that pink? hair was the protag i usually see the white and black haired dudes. Oh this is well produced, and the animation is good. I see why people like it. Lesbian. I love her already. Oh black hair ive been seeing isnt megumi its the dude with plugs and hair tied up.

Ep5: ok thats very interesting the dynamic. Megumi's trying to get himself and itadori out alive. Initially tries to pressure ... Sukuna? To regenerate even willing to sacrifice his life then switches to suppression because he has no chance in a fight even if that risks itadori bleeding out. Oh theres the dude ive been seeing he's an antagonist? Also whiplash from itadori dying (im assuming some bs happens that revives him) to school tournament.

What is up with all these dudes ripping their shirts off?? This is like the 3rd time this has happened??

Office bro is dead he's challenging the final boss in ep like 9/24.

13 oh yeah they all still think he's dead

18 uh what happened to the run away plan? Eh this arc is pretty boring for me.

I cant remember do sukuna and itadori remember when the other is in control? Also for a series about highschoolers there is remarkably little highschool stuff the cast could easily be in their early 20s joining an organization.

former punk fushiguro lol. also love how the 3 others instantly jump on the opportunity to troll him.

24. it's interesting to see how anime has changed over the years. if jjk had been released in 2003 this would have been an episodic monster of the week style show where every episode they would take out a different curse with reused animation.

i love her. kugisaki murdering a dude in front of their family and boasting about it. damn. jjk draws the line between curses and humans and immediately like next episode blurs that line. i like how this si getting to itadori

Movie: i like how for once the big monster is a girl. The contrast between jjk 0 and the main series really highlights two genres jjk could have taken. With okkotsu(?) Jjk is a darker supernatural horror thriller with its shy low self esteem protag like deadman wonderland or tokyo ghoul among others there was an era where this style/subgenre was very popular. The second genre with itadori is the hotblooded battle shounen. I actually like the latter so im not complaining just an observation. Also i see why tumblr and twitter like geto.

S2e1: gay. The op end ed might as well be ship amvs

i might like this better than the first season wow.

uhhhh wasn't it suppose to be really bad if the girl died

bro that sounds like burnout you need a vacation.

aw i liked the flashback arc. back to 2018

hmm robot kun might not make it out of this. wow yeah just add more death flags.

gojo sure has changed huh. used to be more amoral. kinda sad geto is actually dead he was a good character although given what the series has established so far the author could revive anyone plausibly.

from curses to sapient curses and transformed humans to curse users aka the bad humans i wonder when it'll just be whoever jujutsu highschool doesn't like.

I think I've come around on gojo its funny how the show goes out of its way to tell the audience how good looking he is like girls swarming him or characters commenting on his pretty eyes and flawless skin and then the part i really like how this is contrasted with his annoying personality that no one likes. Its so funny, his coworkers tolerate him at best theres like maybe 3 people tops that actively like being around him. Also he only really started covering his eyes after the flashback arc, i wonder if its because of those events whether its the unlocking 6 eyes (why is it called that) or geto leaving. Because with the blindfold he mostly just looks like a weirdo. I also cant help but wonder if gojo losing sight of his humanity during the tengen incident, like he seemed very... unmoored? meant geto didnt have a grounding point to rely on later. So by the time gojo had figured himself out and how to be a functioning person again geto was already gone.

Scrolled through tumblr and wow people are horny for the deadbeat. Also nanami. The oldest womb dude too but i expected that since he's a half dead looking goth which is just up tumblr's alley. Wow i havent seen a reader insert plague this bad since haikyuu. Go straight girls go (just stay away from me).

judge jury executioner the jujutsu world really is a lawless mobstate.

37. huh. what was that spaghetti scene

39 eyy reached the last currently available episode. lots of active plot threads. i still don't know what was up with chrono(?) or where he ran off to. deadbeat zombi toji has picked out megumi. mahito and whats his face are roaming around. not sure I'll read the manga but i might skim it. the best part of this show is the cool fight scenes afterall.

Was thinking about the framing of the flashback arc op and ed. And they appear so carefree and warm because we're seeing how gojo remembers his highschool days. He's dreaming of days past wishing he could return to them.

Creepypasta Pokémon League AU — Nina Hopkins

969 words. warnings: none :)

Nina is the third gym leader challengers will face on their journey against the Pokémon League. For only 10 days every month, Nina will stop touring the region with her band and return to the roller skating rink in Rubellite City that acts as her poison-type gym.

Challengers must be fast and steady on their feet to get through this gym. Anyone who wishes to challenge Nina must capture the flags hanging out of the pockets of the three gym trainers skating around the rink. Once the challenger has collected all three flags and defeated the gym trainers in battle, they must catch up to Nina, who is also skating around at breakneck speeds. Once defeated, the challenger will be awarded the Venom Badge and a front-row ticket to Nina’s next show.

- You are challenged by Gym Leader Nina! -

Toxel (lv. 21): This selfish, attention-seeking Pokémon stores poison and electricity in two different sacs inside its body. -Pokémon Violet

Toxicroak (lv. 63): Its knuckle claws secrete a toxin so vile that even a scratch could prove fatal. -Pokémon Diamond

Scolipede (lv. 64): Highly aggressive, it uses the claws near its neck to dig into its opponents and poison them. -Pokémon White

Toxtricity [Low Key] (lv. 66): Capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity, this Pokémon looks down on all that would challenge it. -Pokémon Sword

Background:

Nina’s late father was one of the only people who had managed to collect all 8 gym badges and make it to the Elite Four, so naturally, Nina developed an interest in and love for pokémon battling.

One night when she was 5, her father pulled off to the side of the road to pick up a box left abandoned on the side of the road, since it was pouring rain. Inside was Toxel, who Nina quickly became attached to. Her father allowed her to keep it, and helped her train it. Once Nina and Toxel were ready, he began teaching Nina basic battling strategy and trained with her every day after she finished her homework.

Nina’s father passed away when she was 10, and she threw herself into training even more, using it as a distraction from the loss and the bullying she experienced at school. 

As an effort to keep her family together through the loss of her husband, Nina’s mother, a music teacher, began teaching her children how to play instruments. Her son, Chris, learned how to play the drums, and Nina learned how to play bass. During this time, Nina found out she also had a talent for singing. 

Nina had just started landing gigs with her band when a tournament for new gym leaders was announced. She was hesitant to enter, but with the encouragement of her family and bandmates, Nina entered the tournament and won, becoming part of the Pokémon League at 17 years-old.

Nina refuses to choose between her dreams. She wants to live out both of them, as music is her way of connecting with her mother and brother, and battling is her way of holding on to her father.

Trivia:

Nina is currently 21.

Of her fellow League members, Nina is closest with Sally, EJ, Jane, Kate, and Toby.

Nina has admired Jeff since she watched him battling for a spot in the League on national television 7 years ago. She made multiple attempts at befriending him when she first became a gym leader, but her enthusiasm was only met with mockery. Believing it was her fault and that she came on too strong, Nina actively avoids Jeff now, embarrassed by the whole ordeal. She still quietly admires him, though.

By extension, she also avoids Liu like the plague.

Nina used to avoid Jane, figuring the woman wouldn’t want anything to do with her because of her admiration for Jeff. However, after encountering each other a few times while visiting Sally, Nina and Jane started talking to each other and got along well. Nina considers her a good friend and always goes to her when she needs advice.

Every other weekend, when Nina’s not touring, she’ll meet up with Toby at Moonstone City to spend time with Sally, but also to teach him how to play bass. In exchange, he battles with her and gives her tips on how to improve.

Nina and EJ are an unlikely duo, but it works out— she talks enough for both of them, and EJ is content to just listen to her ramblings. She has a similar dynamic with Kate.

Nina is determined to use any future tournaments as an opportunity to climb the ranks. She’s got plenty of time left at the League, but she wants to go as high as possible in her career to make her father proud.

I’m so sorry, but Sneasler looks like a scene kid’s fursona. It even has the magenta streak in its hair. I couldn’t not give it a spot on Nina’s team.
