^ From a therapist-friend, in case any in-therapy-friends ever worry about this. 

And this is because it would be really shit of them to open up your entire brain into hysterical Upset and then boot you out without helping you find equilibrium, but there is probably someone right after you. Just to fully articulate.

Yeah exactly. When I do therapy I always keep an eye on the clock so I know when I have enough time to keep opening up big issues, vs. when I have to work on getting them back to stable so they don’t leave my office and walk straight into a wall.

Thank fucking God holy shit

also! she’s still alive! that sort of thing is always worth pointing out to show that we really aren’t too far removed from events like this! here’s a 2019 photo of her:

I'm making fish and chips tonight who wants some

Meeee! Craving some proper chip shop fish and chips 😩

This is so real. Conservatives act like theyd rather have GNC people be cis than transition but the reality is that they don't want cisgender GNC people to exist either. The gender binary as it exists today doesn't allow any middle ground between complete gender conformity and getting discriminated against. Tomboys just barely get to exist (but not without resistance) but any slightly GNC man will make the average conservative furious beyond belief.

Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE

Excerpt from article:

Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .

Yes this is real. And there's less than 300 million American facebook accounts, over half of which probably aren't even active and not all of which are gonna do this. You could maybe get enough out of this for one alright meal! That's free food! Get your free food money!!!

"oh Gordon Ramsay is being performatively angry on kitchen nightmares"

Anyone who has ever met an amateur restaurant owner: They probably have to cut so many slurs from that show. I know ten people like this and they're all dumber than a box of rocks.

"these people can't be this stupid it's a trick of the editing."

It's good to be conscious of how reality tv alters our perception of events and makes people into the most sensational versions of themselves. But please understand that "demographic that has enough spare income and misplaced confidence to start a restaurant with zero experience" is the group of people who stormed the capital.

Alright.

Now the first post makes sense.

I once worked in a pub where the chip oil was so dirty it was black, but the owner never let us change it because oil costs money.

I was like, you know this is going to catch on fire if we don't change it, right?

And he went, no it won't lol don't worry sweetheart.

It caught on fire.

And after I went about shutting off the gas and getting the extinguisher, I came back to him

A bucket of water on it.

So no. While Kitchen Nightmares is probably edited to enhance the drama, those people are absolutely out there and they are stupider than you can imagine.

Every day, people on this site commit acts of heresy that would have got them burned at the stake in the past.

it’s what our heretic ancestors burned at the stake would have wanted

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

there’s a timeskip

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

Cherish is pretty quick, she knows this. Fast fingers, fast legs, on the docks or in the water. Got a fair collection of the shiny hookey things already back in the tunnels that proves that. (They look lovely glinting in the sunset light.) It's fairly light though. And she's too close to the surface, can't be spotted. She'd been taught better than that. But this one was very pretty... Anybody remember our girl Cherish? Got a prompt for the month and thought she'd be perfect!
