Asexuality
I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post.
So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.
do not fear! copy the link to the article
go to sci-hub.se (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)
slap the article link in there
figuring out you’re asexual is like trying to find a nonexistent needle in a very large haystack except people keep trying to convince you that you’re just not looking hard enough or you’ll find the right needle eventually but the needle just isn’t there and yet everyone else’s is and then you wonder whether or not you actually have a needle and then you spot something that might be a needle but nope it’s just another hay strand and everything is confusing and now the haystack is on fire
I’m not just happy about being ace…
I’m ace-staic about it.
Gold Experience Requiem's power is commonly understood as the reversal of King Crimson's power. KC removes the cause of an action, leaving only the effect. GER removes the effect of an action, leaving only the cause.
The truth is that King Crimson's actual power is erasing up to 10 seconds of time, while Epitaph's power is seeing up to 10 seconds into the future. No doubt about it, time erasure and foresight are a stupidly powerful duo.
However, GER is not limited to time and fate. In fact, GER is beyond those concepts. Gold Experience Requiem's power is reverting to zero the strength, the motives, and the actions of an opponent, regardless of their abilities.
I would wager that GER is actually capable of removing both the effect AND the cause of an action.
If the attacker’s actions and will are reverted to zero, then the effect of any action will revert to zero and the cause of any action will revert to zero. The action itself and the reason behind it essentially do not exist anymore.
Let's also not forget that any who are STRUCK by this ability will have even their deaths reverted to zero, dooming them to die an infinite number of times.
Any and all threats directed towards Giorno will automatically revert to zero and become nullified. They’re just dead. They’re just fucking dead. Forever.
The statistics of Gold Experience Requiem reveal the truth:
Such measurements of power against GER are completely irrelevant. It does not matter who you are or what you can do, GER will revert reality itself if it perceives any harm coming its master’s way.
"Any action against Giorno Giovanna didn't happen and never will. lol" - Gold Experience Requiem, probably
GER also states that GioGio doesn't know the true extent of its ability which just fuckin' BOGGLES my mind. What does that even mean!? This is just scratching the surface?? Not your full capabilities??? What the F U C K does that mean!!?!
What constitutes as an "action" against Giorno as far as GER is concerned? A thought? A dirty look? Breathing in his general direction? Fucking just E X I S I T I N G in the first place?
Gold Experience Requiem is an automatic, independent Stand with the power of possibly erasing your entire existence if it thinks your vibes are off.
GER is BROKEN broken.
tfw you see some stupid post that paints medieval peasants eating just plain grey porridge and acting as if cheese, butter or meat was too exotic or expensive for them, and have to use all your inner strength to not just reblog it with an angry rant and throwing hands with people. so i will just post the angry rant here
no, medieval people did not only eat grey porridge with no herbs or spices, they had a great variety of vegetables we dont even have anymore, grains and dairy products, not to mention fruits and meats, all seasonal and changing with the time of the year. no, medieval food was not just tasteless, maybe this will surprise some of you but you can make tasty food without excessive spice use, and can use a variety of good tasting herbs. if you'd ever tried to cook some medieval recipes you would know that. medieval people needed a lot of energy for their work, if they would only eat fucking porridge all of the time they would get scurvy and die before they could even built a civilisation. they had something called 'pottage' which was called that because it was cooked in one pot. you could leave the pot on the fire and go about your day, doing stuff and come back to a cooked meal. they put in what was available that time of the year, together with grains, peas, herbs, meat etc etc. again, if you would try to make it, like i have with my reenactment friends, it can actually be really good and diverse.
dont confuse medieval peasants with poor people in victorian england. dont think that TV shows what it was really like. dont think that dirty grey dressed people covered in filth were how the people looked like.
they made use of everything. too poor to buy proper meat? buy a sheeps head and cook it. they ate nettle and other plants we consider weeds now. they foraged and made use of what they found. hell, there are medieval cook books!
most rural people had animals, they had chickens (eggs), goats (milk and dairy), cows (milk and dairy), sheep (milk and dairy) and pigs (meat machine), and after butchering they used ALL THE PARTS of the animal. you know how much meat you can get out of a pig, even the smaller medieval breeds? the answer is a lot
if you had the space you always had a vegetable garden. there are ways to make sure you have something growing there every time of the year. as i said they had a variety of vegetables we dont have anymore due to how farming evolved. you smoked pork in the chimney, stored apples in the dry places in your house, had a grain chest. people could go to the market to buy fish and meat, both fresh and dried/smoked. they had ale, beer and wine, that was not a luxury that was a staple part of their diet.
this post ended once again up being longer than i planned, but please for the love of the gods, just actually educate yourself on this stuff and dont just say stupid wrong shit, takk
imagine you are fifteen years old taking your little sister to the grocery store because your dad is busy and your grandmother is old and you need food. as you turn a corner you accidentally ram your shopping cart into God with a capital G and he promises to show you the world you’ve never seen from inside the ten square miles of your hometown in exchange for your company. you hate the risk but your demigod sister has untapped potential and an unrelenting determination to get ghost, so you follow God with a capital G through heaven and hell and back. God with a capital G is twelve and wiser than even your grandmother and treats everything like a game and he’s your brother now and suddenly you would (and have and will) kill and die for him. your first love becomes a different god and you add her name to the list of things (your childhood, your vulnerability, your parents, your safety) you don’t have the time to grieve right now (or ever) and you become a man on foreign soil and your dad isn’t there to see it. you are fifteen and God with a capital G’s best friend and your little sister– sisters, now– are the most powerful demigods on the planet and you are the only one keeping three divine tweens focused on saving the world and you are still not allowed to say fuck.
Magneto: Are you interested in joining my team of mutants fighting for the end of mutant oppression? :)
A mutant: sure what’s it called?
Magneto: the brotherhood of evil mutants
Mutant: w
Mutant: why’s it called that
When will we have a character who says “I don’t need a relationship” and then proceeds to NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP AND BE TOTALLY COOL WITHOUT ONE because honestly I’m so fed up with writers forcing romance on characters who clearly don’t want it/don’t care about it
here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them
