Flags Mashup Bot is really out here trying to start World War III
UPDATES
My fav part is that it is genuinely just a bot. All it does is take two countries, puts the 2nd country’s colours on the 1st country’s flag and mixes their names together.
Literally the only other thing behind it is that the bot weights picking the second country based on how close they are to the first, and basic geography + history means that’s also where you’re going to get the most aggressive relations. This isn’t some guy trolling by making things specifically to piss people off, it’s some guy who likes flags going “wouldn’t it be fun to mix flags together, let’s write a bot for that” and accidentally creating a whole meme culture of “days since flag mashup bot last tried to start WW3 = 0” and the like.
I am a black trans woman who was being beaten by my now ex boyfriend and threats are being made on my life. I had to leave with nothing but the clothes on my back. I am now living with my parents who hate me for being a trans lesbian. They are trying to send me away to conversion therapy (I honestly don’t know if it’s just a threat or real). I have spinal muscular atrophy and no other family to take care of my needs. I need help to escape my parents’ and start a new life. Please, if you can, remember that black Trans lives matter and dig deep.
It would be really useful if I could have monthly subscribers to my new Patreon. I will post my writing and photography biweekly. These monthly subscriptions would help me successfully live on my own. However, I understand that many cannot make that commitment so I’m posting my PayPal for one time donations. Any donations mean the world. Thank you.
underrated aspect of the witcher i don’t think we talk about enough: not one major character in that series had their shit remotely together and they all made it a problem for everyone else so much
literally the most stable character in that entire show was the horse
Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.
also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.
|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.
Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.
I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.
Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.
As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:
- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance
- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard
- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.
Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.
