Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! News and Speculation Station

A friend of mine just had his house ransacked. It seems like no one was hurt, but his upstairs neighbours lost a lot of valuables. The burglar has been caught, but they destroyed most of what they stole. The neighbours are seeking donations to help them get back on their feet. Please help however you can.

I posted this four days ago. In that time, it's received notes from only one person, and no donations.

It's made $977 out of its $5,000 goal. $200 of that is from me.

Please help however you can. Every little bit means the world.

In case it helps, I have some pictures of the damage so you can see it for yourself. (It's been cleaned up since then and the windows were boarded up, but this is what it looked like.)

Breaking my hiatus to scream and yell a little because hoLY FUCK IS THAT ZARC ON THE MAIN SET COVER???!!

This feels surreal, but it's very much real.

It's happening.

They did it.

My prayers have been answered.

Oh my God I think I need to sit down for a moment.

Warning: Long Post, contains spoilers.

As promised, ladies and gentlemen, here's your lorewise with a dash of gameplay analysis of the newest wave of cards from Age of Overlord!

(Oh, you thought I was only covering ARC-Ray? Haha, nope! I don't call myself the resident Supreme King enthusiast for nothing, you know).

All credits go to YGOrganization for the card images and translated names... and with that out of the way, let's head straight in!

rb and put in the tags the signs that a ship is/comes across as forced (even if you actually like both characters, and yes this can include ocs)

Don't you sometimes get an absolutely extrodinary, mind blowing, such an awesome idea for a story, but you just don't have enough skill level to pull it off?

Write it anyway.

Write it anyway, write it anyway, write it anyway.

There are so, so, so many reasons:

Write it anyway.

what is the first thing that comes to ur mind when u think of the person u rb'd this from?

Blah blah “it’s all my interests” that’s the boring answer, I mean ask yourself: is your tumblr predominately a fandom blog with personal anecdotes or is your tumblr predominately a personal blog that also shows your interests?

"I'll walk with you" is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that's romantic as fuck

So bachelor in Finnish is just “boyman” (poikamies)? That’s hilarious. So you can say “Sä oot niin poikamies”. (“You’re such a boyman.”)

The apartment in which a single man lives is a poikamiesboksi, a boy man box.

Ah, but let’s not forget bachelorette: rather than being the logical tyttönainen (girl woman), it is poikamiestyttö (boy man girl).

I mean to be fair the word bachelorette is also just “bachelor (girl)”

It’s not even just “they’re doing to trans people now what they did to gay people then,” the Nazis did the same thing to trans people at the time because there were a lot of trans people in Berlin, in part because it’s where the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft was, which was hugely influential for trans people

I think it’s useful to point out how much anti-trans rhetoric overlaps with other forms of bigotry and broader enforcement of cisheteronormativity/white supremacy, but also important to recognize that trans people have been a thing the whole time, we aren’t some new invention of the late 2010s. Neonazis want us dead because the actual Nazis wanted us dead 90 years ago too

Cw : trans death , antitransmasculinity , transphobic violence

Every single one of y'all fuckers who talks like this would die after a week on a farm in the modern day let alone doing pre industrial farming. Apologize to every farmer right fucking now.

Do I have to post the article about labor injuries and endemic nutritional deficiencies in medieval subsistence farmers again

Also, “the concept of working super hard every day” has been a staple of Christian dogma since the Desert Fathers. There is no modern social equivalent to the medieval view of sloth as sin. Labor was religiously justified as necessary in a way that we really do not have anymore unless you’re in a very, very outside-mainstream religious community. No, it was not the same as being pressured to work til 5:30.

And the social function of that religious justification might have been as a necessary mental crutch to aid the misery and all-encompassing nature of subsistence agricultural labor. Gulaþingslög (earliest surviving ms. c. 1250) and Frostaþingslög (c. 1260) both have provisions that allow fishing and harvesting on the Sabbath and other holy days, because both the local church and the local legal framework that enforced church edict understood that, realistically, members of the community sometimes had to skip an otherwise mandatory Sunday service, because if they did not skip service to attend to a run of cod or a beached whale or a peak in ripeness, they would starve to death. 

If I don’t do my chores I have laundry and dishes pile up. If a preindustrialized person didn’t do their “chores” (like. what. what is a chore here), they’d die. Kind of an important difference!

[Image ID: Tumblr post with the username blocked out reading: Fun fact! Having a job every day is actually a fairly new thing.

In olden times, people had daily chores and other things to do but their workloads/ daily working hours was actually much lower than it is today. Even in farming communities.

The concept of working super hard every day actually comes from capitalism, which in turn comes from Puritanical ideology. /End ID]

This is probably the dumbest twitter thing Elon has done

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn't block other "spellings" of it. Writing it as "r@pe" or "r4p3" means that someone who has "tw rape" as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn't wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to be on this website.

This is the GOP-aligned hate group “Moms for Liberty” saying they oppose all health care for students in public schools. From the same party that blames school shootings on “mental health.”

Leprosy, the infectious disease most commonly known for its biblical associations, has become more common in Florida, researchers warn.

In 2020, the Sunshine State was among the states with the highest number of leprosy cases, contributing to evidence that the infection is becoming endemic in the southeastern region of the country, according to a journal published in an August edition from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Leprosy, scientifically referred to as Hansen’s disease, damages the skin and peripheral nervous system.

Although leprosy has been historically uncommon in the U.S. since the early 1980s, the report states that cases have more than doubled in the region over the past decade.

Preliminary ocean temperature of 101.1 degrees recorded off South Florida coast could be a global record.

Is Phoenix America’s first unlivable city? Will this be the year America and the world wakes up?

CBS News is reporting that people in Phoenix are rationing their air conditioning; a British climatologist has declared it the developed world’s first “uninhabitable city without air conditioning.”

In large parts of the United States this summer, climate change-driven heat domes are making pavement so hot that when people pass out and come in contact with it they end up in the hospital with second and third-degree burns. Multiple hospitals report that their burn units are near capacity.

Dr. Kevin Foster, the director of the Arizona Burn Center, told the CBC:

“We are seeing lots of patients who are falling down onto the concrete, pavement, asphalt, and suffering really, really deep burns as a result of that.” He added that this frequency and severity of burns is “twice the normal that we typically see.”

NBC news reported:

“The burns typically occur when people fall or pass out on sun-scorched pavement and other hot surfaces. During intense heat waves, as has been unfolding across the Southwest, even being in contact with these surfaces for short periods of time can do serious damage, said Dr. Kara Geren, an emergency medicine physician at Valleywise Health in Phoenix. “‘The burns can be very severe and disfiguring to the point where you have to have what’s called a skin graft, where they take skin from other parts of your body and kind of cover it up,’ she said.”

In 2021, 40% of Americans lived in a county severely impacted by our current climate emergency, and over 600 Americans died from climate-related causes. In 2022, climate change-related weather disasters cost the United States over $165 billion, according to NOAA.

This year will be the worst in human history, as El Niño drives a massive summer heatwave all across the northern hemisphere. The United Nations estimates that climate-related deaths will exceed cancer deaths in our children’s lifetimes. We stand on the precipice of a disaster unlike any that humanity has ever encountered.
