Ok so what is jaywalking then

It's crossing a street somewhere that there isn't a designated crosswalk (pictured below in case knowledge of what a crosswalk is isn't universal)

Oh I did not know that's what it was called! How fascinating!

What do you mean a crime

Yeah it's technically a crime in the US but as far as I know it's basically never enforced

Nah they enforce it. I know someone who got a $30-ish fine for jaywalking.

EVERYONE WISH OUR GOOD FRIEND JONATHAN HARKER SAFE TRAVELS TODAY

*NOTE: in this case, phobia refers to a very strong irrational fear, not being a little scared of something. if you can handle snakes but they make you nervous, that's not a phobia.

huge thank you to people reblogging and talking about their phobias in the tags. it's genuinely super nice to hear that im not alone in this and im not super irrational for being scared of things. <3

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

Water reactivates pepper spray and it will hurt like hell. Use saline. It will still hurt like hell but you'll get it over with faster. Here's another link with treatment solutions.

Dark X-Men #04 (2023)

Man these first 5 episodes have been a rollercoaster.

"It does not take a priest to see that you and Rogue's soul touch in every gaze."

I'm convinced this is how it happened

Im so sorry but this is the funniest fucking thing

firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!

for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes

> open settings

> search “hardware acceleration” and there should only be one result

> uncheck use recommended performance settings

> uncheck use hardware acceleration

done!

Since I’m looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It’s not DRM, and it’s not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both “memory” and “placing a limit”).

This is what hardware acceleration is:

“Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?”

Yes. For this precise reason.

hey just to let anyone using firefox know! searching “hardware acceleration” in firefox settings doesnt do anything! you wont get anything whatsoever! you have to scroll down on the main general settings page to “Performance” and uncheck “Use recommended performance settings” to be able to uncheck “Use hardware acceleration when available”! signed someone who was extremely confused when trying to follow OP’s instructions only for there to be no results

Astarion knows an easy mark when he sees one 🤣
