There is a raging storm outside rn

I work in a small bar. Nobody at all has come in yet. It is absolutely lashing it down. I can hear the rain pounding on the roof and the occasional clap of thunder.  I am inside and warm and this is easily the best day of work ever. I love storms so much

Turia Riverbed, Valencia

I visited Valencia a couple months ago and this park is so beautiful. The entire thing is built into a dried-out riverbed, so the trees have the space to grow up to and above street level. Valencia is a beautiful city in general, so much greenery, but this park in particular stood out to me as a great integration of urbanism and nature.

What's your favourite action sequence?

I'm posting in c/movies but including tv shows, anime, comics, manga, etc. Personally I think the final war rig sequence in Mad Max: Fury Road is the most impressive live-action fight I've ever seen. The practical effects and choreographing are incredible and the fight keeps moving along by having the stakes raised and characters dying, it doesn't meander. In animation it's harder to say. Attack on Titan had a lot of really well animated action (it used be so good, goddammit). The battle in Shiganshina in season 3 is the best, the narrative weight is so strong, the characters all have really good moments, the stakes are really high and the production is incredible, animation, soundtrack, sound design, voice acting etc. Mob Psycho has the most consistently incredible animation of anything I've ever seen, I think the group fight against the teleporting psychic in season 2 is my personal favourite, even if it's not the flashiest, it's really well directed and just such a cool fight, even though it's not that long. The ChainsawMan manga has a lot of good fights, the Falling Devil arc is like my favourite arc of anything ever, but that's mainly because of the characters. The art is stunning, Fujimoto at his absolute peak, but the action is pretty straightforward. I mainly love it because it's Asa at her best as a character, and Asa is my favourite character of anything ever. Wow it was way easier for me to choose a live action sequence than animated. Honestly there's so much lazy action in superhero slop that Mad Max stands out so, so much.

It feels like such a weight off of my back to have a real, solid report, from a medical professional, telling me that I have ADHD. I had a standard neurodivergent burnout experience, where I was good in primary school but in secondary school as a teenager, found that I was not achieving my potential. I always felt like I should have been doing better than I was. But it was so hard for me to bring my attention to things I didn't care about. Grades and attendance started slipping and I made sloppy mistakes. Things only got worse once I moved out for college. Now I had no one to remind to empty bins and clean my room, to provide a consistent schedule like my parents had. I was procrastinating on assignments, even ones I wanted to do, until the last possible second - I remember turning in an assignment literally less than 10 seconds before the deadline. Sitting down and writing an essay was a Herculean task in my head, and instead of addressing it, I would avoid it. I would lie on my bed or go to the gym or talk with my friends, because it physically felt like I *couldn't* start a new task. And the more important they were, the less I wanted to do them. I told myself that I was just bad at being an adult, I lacked discipline and was facing the consequences of my laziness. But I was never able to change anything about it. Now I know, for sure, why I'm like this, and how to change. I also know that I'm just lazy, my brain just kinda sucks and is not built for the kind of work that I have to do. I know that I can get treatment and that there are other people like me. Its such a relief.

Liberals love saying "convicted felon Donald Trump" as if that is the worst thing you could possibly be.

Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

Jimmy Donaldson, also known as "Mr Beast", is reportedly considering a presidential bid in 2028

"I feel like I could help a lot of people," says Donaldson. "A lot of people know my face, but don't know my politics." Donaldson, 31, will be just about be age-eligible to run for president in 2028. Better known by his YouTube persona Mr Beast, Donaldson is best known for his large-scale challenges, ostentatious spending and philanthropy. His YouTube channel currently has 285 million subscribers, making him the most followed individual on YouTube. "I have a great base to start with - everyone in America already knows who I am and what I'm about. I never could have had my success if I wasn't American - I mean, what other countries would let me deploy people into, like, the wild to survive for a YouTube challenge? But I'm allowed to do that, you know, I'm allowed to find a homeless person on the street and give them a Cybertruck, and I'm allowed to record that and make money off of it. And that's what America is all about, that kind of freedom. You know, it doesn't matter who you are, if you're rich or poor or white or black, anyone is allowed to start a business. Anyone could be like me, you know? I worked hard to earn my money, and I deserved it, and anyone could do that."

What the hell do people even do in strip clubs

Like from what I understand you're not allowed to touch the workers because then it becomes prostitution. So like. A bunch of boys just get together and sit down to watch some girls dancing naked? And they just kinda grin at each other and say "hey isn't it awesome when there's boobs?" You can't jerk off so they just go to get boners with their buddies? You can do that at home. You can just watch porn with the fellas or have a circlejerk. I've never understood why it's seen as a straight masculine thing to go to a place where the only thing you can do is get horny with other men.

"Conversations with in game characters are getting more real!"

The conversation in question: "Hi, you must be Neslon! I can't believe you're finally here! I'm Bloom, your future teammate in the Resistance, by the way. I figured out we could spend some time together to check if we have a compatible vibe. You know, to build our dynamic duo. How does that sound to you?" lmao love to build a dynamic duo in the "resistance" by just hanging out. Why did Ubisoft think this was so good that they had to share it

And that's not a joke. I actually can't think of any single assignment I've had in college that I haven't submitted the day it was due because I was procrastinating (I probably have ADHD but diagnosis is expensive). But I started my research for this three days ago, wrote up half of the essay yesterday, and finished it today. I sat down and read 25 pages of an academic text in one sitting, which was honestly a big achievement for me - it only took half an hour, but I really struggle to stay focused on that kind of thing. It's due tomorrow at 10pm, and I submitted it at like 8pm today. That's one thing I don't have to worry about now. I've submitted assignments literal seconds before the they were due in the past, so this feels like progress to me.

Many such cases

This is what Fujimoto was doing before chainsaw man. I dunno what the fuck he was cooking. This manga has a lot to say about gender and I don't hink I understand any of it
