Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.
So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened
So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.
First suggestion: flush the toilet
This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.
Second suggestion: vaccum the beads
His vaccum caught fire.
At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.
And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.
Third suggestion: put salt in
It actually worked. Well, until.
Poop apprently started flooding his house.
And then the streets.
It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.
You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)
It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious
Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.
Taxes. EVERY rich person hoarding money in banks and as assets is not paying tax properly. That kind of ideal sudden is fucking hypocritical. Secondly the taxes go to govt. who uses it for public but remember, not every govt focuses on individual survivals in their nation. They work on plans that will yield back too be it politically or in terms of capital simply. People in power have their own agendas. Simply speaking taxes, investment banks etc. will not help those with survival battles. I am not saying that people with money should just give away everything, nor am i being judgemental about it. What i mean to say is that, those who sit at the top and earn a huge chunk every minute of the day by average even when they are sitting in the comfort of their homes or offices because those under them are still working to earn the next pay, need to realise they are exploiting way more than they deserve because they have a leg up.
If you have billions of dollars it shouldn’t be a crime to steal from you. You’ve got enough money that your security should be your own responsibility and anyone who manages to swipe from your hoard deserves applause for besting a supervillain

Steven: Why do we have bruises all over our face? We weren't on any mission, were we?
Marc: No?
Jake: *trying his best to appear nonchalant
¿I went to the beach, hermanos?
Steven and Marc: *surprised but pleased at this turn in conversation
Jake: *speaking with a gentle smile.
A little blonde kid tried to push me in the sand. He thought it was funny.
*the smile turns manical
I threw him into the sea.
Steven and Marc: *sighing heavily but not surprised.
Marc: but what has that to do with the brusies.
Jake: *scowling now
That poco blonde shit had a big family.
*After a little pause
Jake: can we go to the beach again?
Steven and Marc: FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean 'sugary.' It's dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain.
