Every now and then I remember that my dad is a canon Gigolas truther and I’m like slay…
My dad explains to me that the Legolas and Gimli relationship was dumbed down and jokeified in the movies because if it had been portrayed sincerely and book accurate it would have been “too gay” and I’m like so true Timothy many are saying this…
If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.
Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.
Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.
And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.
And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".
In case this gains any traction, I NEED people to understand that this is not an invitation for mainlanders to get on a soapbox and start telling each other whether or not or how to visit Hawai'i. The tourism situation is complex and difficult and you don't get it if you haven't lived through it at minimum wage. You don't fully understand the complexities and you will not. And you are liable to do more harm by trying to dictate rules and ethics of visiting the islands to each other.
If you want to help, listen to local people. Seek out and boost what they're saying. Send each other local sources of information. Research from local sources. DO NOT take this crisis as an opportunity to insert your views and speak for us.
favorite type of dynamic is ohhh theyre silly and fun <3 and then you think about it a bit more and start crying
Nothing will ever match the comedic heights of using the instant noodles in Undertale
Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.
Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, ALL 10 would contract CANCER.
The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.
The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.
Fuck the oil industries.
I'm not even remotely kidding when I say the public needs to start killing these people. They're unapologetically doing it to us. It's even worse than it sounds: the ratio is actually such that for every 10 people sampled, 13 people are expected to get cancer. And it's exposure to the fumes of the modified fuel that causes the illness. There is no reliable way to safely be in the same atmosphere as these boats. This is omnicidal — suicidal and murderous both.
The pollutant persists in seawater and bioaccumulates in animals we use as food. Eating anything from contaminated waters is also an extremely high cancer ratio. It is a plastic derivative, and does not get broken down in typical Earth conditions. Chevron is trying to pretend that this is "good for the environment" because it will let them dilute fuel and stretch out the stocks longer. Plastic cancer gas in the wind and in the seafood is good for the environment, claim oil companies that will burn and sell even more petrofuel.
Scientists and researchers are very aware of the risks. That's why we have these numbers. Scientists working for the corporations developed this fuel and handed it over to their masters for their paychecks. Other scientists fact-checked them and raised alarms, which were ignored. Then political careerists and corporate officials made their deals and skipped over some regulations so it can go to market.
There is no system of peaceful regulation that will stop these people from choosing profit and luxury over your life. They won't even choose their own lives and their own futures over today's luxury and the promise that Line Will Go Up. There is no space for long term thinking in the capitalist mindset. There is no room for life.
There is only death.
They should be made to reap what they sow.
the only good news here is that it seems congress members are disturbed by whatever is clearly going on behind closed doors and the blatant falsification of data in the consent document. if you live in the united states, check which committees your congressmen/senator work in. if it's anything even peripherally related to the environment or the EPA, GET THEM ON THE PHONE. spam them with emails. be as annoying as humanly possible. nothing has gone into production yet, but it will, and when it does, be aware that the cancer risk for just eating contaminated fish is 7%. that's fucking insane. and a lot of that fish is caught, frozen, and sold commercially. don't think you're safe if you're inland.
Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
