I Bet The Judo Flip Wouldnt Be So Romantic If The Roles Were Reversed With Percy Judo Flipping Annabeth

I bet the judo flip wouldn’t be so romantic if the roles were reversed with Percy judo flipping Annabeth . 

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

I was rewatching some scenes from civil war & the scene where Tony LIES to Steve by telling him that they’ll get Bucky sent to a psych facility in America when we know from the deleted scenes that tchalla had already got extradition to take Bucky to wakanda likely to be EXECUTED fills me with so much rage everyone likes to talk about how Steve lied to poor Tony about his parents but never talk about how Tony was going to let Steve’s best friend be executed or at least imprisoned after lying to Steve by promising to help him

That is an amazing point that I dont think I have seen brought up before!!

(Thank you for the ask!)

Tony didnt actually care if Bucky died or not (until he tried to murder Bucky himself in Siberia). Sharon was the one who told Steve and Sam about the kill order. So the only ones who had anything even resembling an objection to Bucky being killed by the swat team in Bucharest were Steve, Sam and Sharon.

Tony lied about doing anything to help Bucky and getting the accords amended. He was doing everything he could to manipulate Steve into signing, something that even RDJ has confirmed. And since Tony didnt care what happened to Bucky he had no problem using his safety as a barganing chip, even though he was lying about said safety.

And Tony actually knew and saw what was going on with the people in charge in Berlin. He didnt even bat an eye when Ross said that Bucky should have been ‘eliminated’ (aka killed) in Bucharest. In contrast all we know that Steve knew was one of many taunts by Zola while he was trying to stall Steve and Natasha so that they would be killed by a missile which hit literally 1 minute later (I wrote a post about it Here ). Some people say that Steve actually had evidence in the file Natasha gave him at the end of ca:tws, but there really isnt anything to indicate that. But if he did have proof, then he would have even more reason to not tell Tony. It was either didnt know for sure or protecting Bucky. And I cant really condem Steve too much for either of those reasons. And also Natasha knew just as much as Steve did and she would have had less reason to not tell Tony, but I dont see anyone condeming her for not telling Tony. Why do they only blame Steve for it?

You would think that a team who has experience with mindcontrol, brainwashing, torture and abuse would have some compassion for Bucky, but we dont really see that. I get that they would be a bit cautious, but still.

Here’s the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers’ capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you’re just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will
