Co-op Mode Warning

Hoyoverse hasn't put out an official announcement yet, but this is a serious issue, so I'm taking some liberties here. Do not let anyone you don't know into your world for now! There is a recently discovered exploit that allows hackers to use Kaveh and a third party app to permanently remove content from your world. So far, it's only been recorded in Chinese servers, but until we have confirmation that it's fixed, I recommend rejecting random co-op requests to be safe. Video evidence here.

The removal is on the server side, so logging out or uninstalling the game will not restore lost content. Hackers can also use this to delete the Traveler, which locks you out of your account entirely.

For clarification:

Update: Some sources also say Nahida can be used for this, but take that with a grain of salt.

on this day one year ago someone sewed a fried egg to a tshirt

this is your only day to reblog this for a year

i missed my chance last year so this has been in my queue for 364 days

Okay well it’s 2:04am, September 28th, 2017. This is about to be queued for a year. I LITERALLY MISSED IT BY TWO HOURS.

EGG POST

If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

As a she/he/they enby, who identifies as gay:

Me a nonbinary lesbian:

*rebloggs this post faster then the speed of light*

Takemichi : *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*

Mikey: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents

Takemichi : If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you

Draken: Actually I did the math, Mikey would have $225, not $0.15.

Mikey: Fam I’m right here....

Baji: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

Takemichi : while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?

Baji: Sorry I only have a dollar

Takemichi : :(

Draken: Hey I just realized my friend is right, Mikey would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent

Baji: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

Draken: You can buy anything you want with $22,500

Chifuyu: Yeah and they want soda and apply juice

Draken: Apply juice to what

Kazutora : Directly to the forehead

Mikey: Great chat everyone

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.

If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.

If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.

Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.

Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.

Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.

If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.

If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.

Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!

I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.

EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!

i fucking hate this world. anyways R E B L O G

Just saw a video explaining why putting a key between each finger is more likely to hurt you than them (the keys will just get pushed back into your knuckles). A better way to hold them is to get your longest key and just clench your hand around it, like you’re making a fist. That’ll give you a lot more force and means you can use them in more scenarios (if someone grabs you from behind, you can use the key this way)

Not only for girls and women but also for boys and men.

i feel obligated to reblog this.

I hate that we need these things, but this is so so so important, it can literally save someone’s life

How to tell if your drink has been spiked:

1. The colour of it has changed

2. It’s become cloudy-looking

3. There more bubbles in it than should be

4. The ice in it sinks

If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say what’s happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because they’re the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because there’s not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so you’ll be believed)

I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but it’s so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!

but I was never taught these things.

The first time I was groped, I was 10 years old. Do you feel sick yet? 10 years. What kind of fucker gropes a 10 y/o?

All I have learnt is to use my elbow or knee or fist or just duck and avoid contact. This post helped a lot, thanks.

It was the english teacher at my old school tho I did broke his nose and stabbed his stomach with a pen so

Also carry pointie / sharp or that which has a edge, it helps a lot, yk, just stab

-if you’re walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever you’re listening to on low and always listen for footsteps or other noises coming from behind you

-If there is a strange looking man in front of your building who doesn’t live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he can’t figure out that you live there and so he can’t kidnap you

-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. It’ll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.

- carry pepper spray or some other type of weapon

As this site is full of readers,

1: if you’re reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, don’t leave it at home and never bring outside. I’m not saying to bring it everywhere, but if you are going to any possible dangerous places alone, bring them, in a purse or even by hand (to show it to everyone). Believe me, if you hit someone with it, it will hurt them!!

2: hairspray works just like pepper spray

3: if your being attacked, and you don’t have any pointed objects, neither training, put your fingers on the predators eyes and press it. With all your strength, it will leave them blind or disabled. Use it only if your life is in risk!

4:

5: the iPhones have a great setting that if you press it will call police, send them photos of your back and front cameras and send a message to the contacts you select saying your in danger; press 5times the “turn off” button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-

6:

I’m so happy to share these tips.

Don’t ignore pls it might save your of someone else’s life

I didn’t fucking know any of this.

That is really helpful.

polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:

ua.gov.pl

as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.

Why do they want us dead so badly

stfu this price on food will keep me alive when I’m starving and putting quarters together to maybe stay alive until my next shift.

rich people: why is unhealthy food so cheap? don’t they know we have no self-control and will eat this until it causes health problems?

poor people: oh, thank god, something i can afford.

Five bucks can buy you so much more though if you take more than five minutes to prepare it.

Umm. Idk where you’re buying groceries, but $5 doesn’t get me anything.

Lol they want u to live on salted pasta and nothing else. XDDD God forbid people want something cheap that TASTES good.

Like- if u have more than $5 u can buy lots of things in bulk and per serving it’s cheaper. But for just straight $5??? Fuck outta here. $5 is like the cost of one spice at a grocery store ffs

Yeah for just straight $5 I could maybe buy a bag of rice and a jar of peanut butter, and that’s honestly less complete nutrition than that fast food, which at least has some vegetables in it, some meat, etc.

Rich people don’t get that being poor actually costs money. Terry Pratchett summed it up pretty well in one of the Discworld books: “But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.”

In fact, it’s such a good example that one widely used term to describe this socioeconomic bullshit is literally ‘Vime’s Boots’

“Five bucks can buy you so much more though if you take more than five minutes to prepare it.” This can actually be true - if you already have a pantry full of staples. The thing a lot of people not living in poverty don’t get is that the poor _don’t have a cupboard full of rice, beans, canned tomatoes, etc_ to build from.

Also many poor people actually DON’T have the time.

Many have multiple jobs, school, taking care of their siblings/kids.

Many are exhausted like all the time. Like can you blame them for wanting to just buy some fast food that takes no time from them vs spending time to prepare, cook, then plate something home-cooked.

op’s logic reminds me of a lesson from back in my high school health class. the teacher told everyone to imagine they would be stranded on a desert island for six months and write down what food they would want an infinite supply of to stay as healthy as possible. almost everyone in the class wrote down something like “salad”, “vegetables,” “juice”, etc. things we’d all been told our whole lives were “healthy”.

this led to a lesson in nutrition where the teacher explained how badly we’d been misinformed by society when it comes to what “healthy” means. if you’re on a desert island you want eggs, or skin-on potatoes, or organ meat. something that contains lots of calories as well as things like vitamins. even raw sticks of butter would be more useful than salad. we’d all spent our lives in a situation where food was always plentiful and the risk of overeating was greater than the risk of starvation, and we’d internalized that calories were bad for you.

he spent several lessons making us understand that you need calories to live. you need fat and carbohydrates. that while it was possible to eat too much and that was a real risk in some cases, that did NOT mean we should think of nutrition as being bad, or eating nutritionally-dense foods as a bad thing. because if we tried to live off of salad and juice we would starve.

Hey everyone. There's another app on the Google playstore. Pretty sure it's not official and it's making money from in-app ads.

I think the AO3's latest post about apps is here:

Semi-regular reminder to my readers that AO3 does not have an app and every time you login through one of them, you are potentially comprising your account/password. AO3 has an effective design for mobile use and you can always add to home screen, if you really need an "app" icon.

reblog to save a life and AO3′s integrity. Remember that AO3 is a non-profit, ad free archive that is kept running through donations. Don’t give your money away for an app that’s not giving a cent to story creators

Zelensky's live speech to the Russians tonight....haunting

alexaduke

Even though this speech wasnt shown on russian tv, a lot of people saw it, myself included.

People who came out to do 'single meeting' (because it's illegal to gather in group in our country, which is like the whole point of protest, but whatever..) are already being detained by police. Theatre workers got a letter to stay out of this and stay silent, otherwise it would be classified as 'treason', and yet a lot of our media people spoke out and pleaded to stop this awful invasion. Bloggers and independent media too.

Russians (except for the brainwashed p-lovers, but what can you do about them, it's kinda a lot cause tbh) CARE. We are not silent.

If only the ones who actually have control and power over this whole mess would listen.

But they don't. I doubt they even care who it is that's speaking: presidents, activists, united nations, their own people. They just dont give a shit.

*images from telegram. more than 100 people detained officially, and that's before Moscow and Saint Petersburg joined.

We all just want peace.

Vladimir Putin is a modern day Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. He is filthy fascist trash and so is every single person who is part of his government of criminals and goosestepping garbage

I would describe Vladimir Putin as being one of the single most evil and repulsive human beings currently alive today. Right up there with garbage like the KKK, the various neo-nazi cults out there and tyrants like the monster oppressing the people of North Korea right now
