being in your early twenties is like [grocery shopping alone] [having instant noodles for dinner] [remembering random details about that one friend you haven't spoken to in five years] [feeling overwhelming guilt for every purchase that isn't strictly "necessary"] [having midday naps] [finding out through facebook that the girl who was mean to you in high school has a husband and a baby] [falling a little in love with every stranger on public transport] [pretending you're not afraid of being alone] [wondering when you'll feel like a fully realized person] [listening to bands you liked in middle school] [blinking and it's suddenly december] [failing to imagine yourself ten years from now] [feeling like you're running out of time]

Absolutely vital information to have if you live where the waters freeze over.

I especially appreciate this guy's commitment to actually showing the steps himself. That cold-shock response is a bitch and willingly subjecting himself to it couldn't have been fun.

Is this no longer taught in schools?

I was never taught it, granted it’s not a huge issue in North Carolina

I grew up in upstate NY.  Where winter routinely freezes over bodies of water.  I was never taught this in school, or anywhere for that matter.

yes EVERY american soldier is an imperialist yes even the female ones yes even the black ones yes even the queer ones yes even the muslim ones. idpol has rotted your brains.

if you're an american and you can go ACAB even though some police officers are poor minorities but draw the line at condemning the military because some soldiers are poor—you need to ask yourself why violence against non-americans is so much more acceptable to you.

The government shut down the internet in Belarus. All foreign websites and most of local ones have been unavailable for two days now and vpn and proxy doesn’t work half of the time. No social networks or messengers work either

The elections are a sham and the government is blocking us from proving that this is a sham. Or talking to each other. Or being aware of what is going on.

I don’t know when I will be able to post any fandom stuff, because I don’t know when the internet will be returned to us. 

Please watch the news about Belarus and think about us. We need the support from EU now more than ever.

I couldn't figure out how to report on mobile, so I think you have to open it in desktop view, and the option will be on the left.

Seriously, report things like this if you see them. Lives are literally on the line. This shop already has hundreds of sales

MORE SHOPS TO REPORT

PLEASE report these shops and others like them. These are just a few of MANY people profiting from a pandemic by deliberately endangering countless lives

If you're having trouble with what to write in the report, I've been using something like "This shop includes sheer/mesh face masks which don't meet safety standards for slowing the spread of disease. Selling these during a global pandemic puts lives at risk."

for those (like me) who are nervous about selecting the right options on the drop down under the reporting tab, i chose “they sell items that don’t meet etsy’s policies” from the drop down and “prohibited or uses prohibited materials” from the list.

happy reporting!

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.

if you scroll past this just because it doesn’t affect you personally, i see you.

Also, you can always go to court and contest a ticket, and a lot of times you’ll win. Or if the cop thinks you’ll win they won’t even show up and you’ll win by default.

They like to target out of state plates because anyone who would be majorly inconvenienced by a court date two months away is a lot more likely to just pay it.
