still constantly think about the time goddess who wanted nothing but the monarch ( who was trying to save everyone but herself )

I'm sorry if you're tired of thinking about ofmd and that whole mess but goddamn... it's incredibly painful to see so many people trying to set up fundraisers to get their families out of gaza and the sudan and desperately trying to get their loved ones to safety, I've seen so many and everyday I check to see how much progress they've made, most of them still haven't hit their goal. It hurts to see people rally around a tv show and raise all this money for a billboard, and it's very frustrating to see how people have reacted to this criticism. Like bro tv shows get canceled sometimes there's more important stuff going on

Someone else said it better but to see a fundraiser for tv show renewal advertisements raise $20,000 in less than a day while it takes days/weeks/months/years/never for fundraisers for actual causes that help real people in need reach a goal of less is absolutely dystopian and shameful

Jack Morrison when Gabriel Reyes wants to bring an arms smuggler, who has ties to Talon and is responsible for the deaths of dozens of Overwatch agents and Blackwatch agents, in for questioning:

"We can't risk something like this going public." "I can't officially sanction something like this." "I'll leave the final call to you, but ask yourself... in the long run, will this help Overwatch keep the world safe?"

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

Not me watching the eclipse and thinking “Wow so this is what it’s like to be bedrocked over-”

I need to have an it/its weekend

YES BRAINWORMS‼️‼️

Had a weird dream a while ago where I was playing Minecraft: Story Mode season 2 and instead of finding ‘Vos’ in the Sea Temple, you find the real Vos in this in-between layer of the Underneath when descending the stairs with Xara. Like, Romeo had bedrocked over the Underneath and then bedrocked over that layer a few blocks above, creating this small (2-3 block tall) in-between world with a bedrock ceiling and floor.

Upon discovering this place midway down the staircase, Xara mentions she doesn’t recall that being there. You as Jesse have the option to explore around or keep descending the stairs. (In the dream of course I opted to explore; I’m guessing if you didn’t, you’d either hear Vos call out to you or someone in your group would go off and look around instead.) The exploration part is pretty short- the area is very dark so you walk around for a bit with a torch.

Until… you come across what looks to be a person just standing there, facing away from your group. Instinctively, Jesse calls out to ask if they’re alright. The figure perks up and turns their head and torso to try and face you while exclaiming how nice it is to hear another voice. As you walk closer, you notice something around the stranger’s boots that are preventing them from fully turning around. At this point, Jesse asks Xara if she recognizes the person to which she has no clue. It’s not someone originally from the Underneath. How strange. Suddenly Jack runs past the group and hugs the figure. He exclaims that the stranger is an old friend of his and the two converse for a bit. (I don’t remember any actual dialogue.)

Vos explains that after declining an offer in the Sea Temple, the Admin got angry and sent him to wherever this is. He looks down and Jesse notices obsidian tendrils snaking out of the ground and coiled tightly around his boots and leg. He is not sure how long he’s been there, the last time he ate, or when last he slept because time is weird here and your hunger bar doesn’t deplete. Jack basically tells him it’s been thirty years to which Vos goes silent for a bit. Xara reminds the group they have a mission to complete. Unfortunately, without a diamond pickaxe, no one can free Vos from his predicament so you as Jesse are forced to leave him behind until after Romeo is defeated. Jack offers to stay with him until then, but Vos urges him to stay with your group and you continue on. I don’t remember if the dream ended there or if I just forgot the ending, but any MC:SM dream is a good dream in my book-

But yeah I wanted to throw this here for someone ^^

ADHD pro tip: Use psychological warfare on yourself.

For example, in order to do long tasks, like folding laundry, I put on the Mario Hat:

The main feature of the Mario hat is that my headset does not fit over it, so when The Bees™ try to put me back in front of the screen, the headset issue forces me to remember why I put the Mario hat on, and back to the task I go

As a bonus, the Mario hat is also a very clear indicator to my housemates that business is getting done, and they have learned not to distract me when I'm wearing the "goofy-ass cosplay hat"

It's not stupid if it works.

A summary for a possible fic would be something to the effect of the following. After the events of FNAF 6, and the restaurant has burnt down (I can't remember the name of the in game restaurant rn, pizzeria??) Michael Afton is finally able to be lain to rest, even though his body should have been laid to rest long ago. Michael Afton closes his eyes, allowing the flames to take him. His eyes open once more.

I'd probably edit that more, but thr gist is that it is yet another Michael Lives AU, somehow making it to the events of Security Breach. Though probably not Ruin DLC compliant at I have not watched that yet.
