Because I just remembered who was the best character in RWBY so far

I think women choose to hurt themselves because victimhood is the only way to get what they want in a world that has already given them what they need.
They want more than the world is able to give, and throw tantrums because their body is the only thing the noose of their attention span is long enough to strangle.

Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR
Dear Humanity,
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).
I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.
Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.
The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.
We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.
Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.
A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.
Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare
I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future
My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.
As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.
When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.
We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.
As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.
Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.
Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.
I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.
Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign
The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.

I was diagnosed as autistic during a 2 week stay in a psychiatric ward. Many other autistics are diagnosed after hitting autistic burnout or completely melting down.
My hope is that less and less autistic people need to hit rock bottom just to discover they're autistic.
Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.
The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.
I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.
That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."
And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."
And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."
And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.
And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.
Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.
"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.
Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.
May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

If I hold off on texting someone back there's a good chance I'll completely forget about it until weeks later, and by then it just feels awkward.
I am doing a Vol 1 Chapter 1 to Chapter 16, episode by episode, list of all the reasons I dislike RWBY. Please follow and support my journey!
Honestly I don’t get RWBY hate.
This is coming from someone who believes seeing people’s different opinions and perspectives on media and exercising different viewpoints can be healthy.
This is coming from someone who believes disliking a show isn’t a personal attack.
This is coming from someone who’s very critical about a lot of media!
But hear me out. So many people are so vocal and downright hostile about hating RWBY, and it DOES discourage people, fans and creators alike. Perhaps if you hate RWBY that much, it simply isn’t for you and you should just move on or ignore it.
I understand being critical. I’m critical of the show too at times, but it started out as a passion project. You can’t dictate the way someone chooses to make a story. Everyone is all like “tell your story, no matter how crappy, someone out there will always love it” until it’s RWBY.
For example, I might not like Dungeon Meshi much (I have abysmal taste, ik) but I simply accept it isn’t for me, I don’t go publicly nitpicking the writing decisions even though it isn’t written in a way I personally enjoy. I don’t call it trash.
Even if there are fundamentally flawed parts of RWBY, that’s the way the authors wanted things. It it a crime for something to be flawed?
Cringe culture is dead anyway.
Never understood hostile hate for “bad” media in general.
BATMAN: Caped Crusader
1940s Gotham. Corruption infects the city from root to fruit and rises like the high tide to drown out the virtues of the judiciary, the jury, and justice with the fetid rot of the swamp that is high office and bad politics.
Draining the swamp is always a matter of principle for the men and women who, on principle, oppose the injustice rampant throughout Gotham. In the face of overwhelming odds, such men and women need a champion to represent, protect, and guide them through the troubled times to a just and righteous future.
These heroes of a progressive Gotham need Batman, the Caped Crusader, and for all of Batman: Caped Crusader’s flaws, being progressive is not one of them. Instead, Batman: Caped Crusader is a poor man’s version of Batman the Animated Series wearing the 1940s on its emaciated body like a poorly fitted, stupidly loud zoot suit.
Yes, Oswald Copplebot is now a gender-flipped version named Oswalda Copplebot. Sure, Renee Montoya has a lesbian date with Harley Quinn.
So what?
Gordon is black, but Bullock takes orders from him as if he were vanilla white.
Renee kisses Harley, and Harley leaves for the rest of the season.
Detective Flass is a black man and one of the worst people in Gotham.
Batman ‘batmans,’ Gotham ‘gothams,’ and Rupert Thorne orders acid thrown into Harvey Dent’s face.
Whoop de doo, zippadeedoda, hubba hubba hubba, who do you trust?
Me? I'm reviewing Batman for free.
Regardless of most critics’ views on the Caped Crusader’s progressive leanings, my biggest problem is how pointless everything was.
Batman fights villains, investigates crimes, and fights the police. It's all on the same bat time and the same bat channel. Batman fights the Gentleman Ghost, and it is not someone dressed up as a ghost. Batman makes an honest-to-god attempt to exorcize an English nobleman ghost who hates the poor. Not only did the whole episode feel pointlessly out of place in a reasonably gritty Gotham City, but warner bros wasted their chance to introduce a 1940s John Constantine instead of who I assume is Papa Midnight.
Batman: Caped Crusader only has bleached skin and hollow bones beneath its promises of progressive storytelling and diverse casting, starved for a story that weaves the mythos of the Dark Knight with an aspect of humanity’s struggle oversaturated with cliches.
Imagine a Bruce Wayne who has to craft his persona to blend in or capitalize on a wave of new ideas that threatens to tear down the breakwaters of a conservative America reeling from a bloody world war.
Follow the struggle of a Crusader who, intent at first on taking advantage of the possible benefits provided to someone who is an ‘ally’ of lesbians and the discriminated, comes to respect these lonely men and women fighting their crusade armed with their ideals for a better Gotham and truly becomes a Dark Knight fighting for a brighter future.
Witness the ray of hope that Batman brings to those who need a champion and how it inspires the cynics to risk their lives for something greater than themselves.
There was a story in Batman: Caped Crusader. There had to be a story; you can fry up potato skins all you want, but potato skins need cheddar cheese and bacon bits inside them. Unfortunately, the show was too busy frying up a skin of progressive lesbianism and diversity, forgot to fill that skin with anything worth chewing on, and fucked up the frying as well.
Hey um if you are an adult and a teenager flirts with you, you shut that shit down IMMEDIATELY. I think it's normal for young girls or boys to have crushes on adults but what's NOT normal is a grown ass adult reciprocating those feelings or flirting back with them.
That's crazy.
Top three things to say to women

yeah it’s actually humidity more than the heat itself you’re feeling
before you talk to Christians about texts or events "predating" Christianity, you need to understand that Christians do not view our religion as beginning with the incarnation of Christ. Christians view our religion as beginning with Adam & Eve, continuing with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, etc., all to foreshadow Christ.
We believe the Old Testament is AS IMPORTANT to the Christian faith as the New Testament. We do not see them as separate stories, they are together telling the same story. We don't view the Old Testament as "the Jewish part" and the New Testament as "the Christian part." To the Christian, the story of the Exodus is a Christian story. To the Christian, the story of the Babylonian Exile is a Christian story.
Christianity is entirely about continuity. The covenant God made with Abraham is fulfilled in the covenant Christ made with us.

I know I'm not the only one who has this bizarre view on time. Does anyone one know why this happens?

Shout out to the autistic who’s abilities have regressed as they’ve gotten older.
“You didn’t used to be like this when you were a kid.” I know please don’t remind me
Sometimes it feels like everyone around me is speaking in a secret language and I'm the only one who doesn't know it.
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
Ways I Didn’t Realize I Was Stimming

Every day we're learning more about autism, and every day more and more autistic people are being public about their autistic experiences. This is helping people recognize autism in themselves at much higher numbers than before.
More people getting diagnosed is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Please be patient with those of us with auditory processing disorder. We just need more time for the gears to turn in our heads.
