(also, 2 more things: 1: if that photo has multiple fictional characters, all of the fictional characters in that photo will be your roommates. 2: for characters that can only live in certain conditions, those conditions will be ignored, and they’ll still be able to live.)
(sorry if you don’t like this content, I just saw one of those “fictional character in photo roll” posts and thought I would make one.)
(White pill: paracetamol aka APAP for the internationals) (dull fact: one of the few direct isomorphic equivalent to real-life pharmaceuticals mentioned in any of the Disco Elysium dialogue-trees I’ve seen. APAP is explicitly amongst (iirc) Klaasje’s cabinet pharmacopoeia (or, if not, appears elsewhere in-game). Several medications/street drugs have DE names which are similar enough to international standards / received common knowledge for the player to clock their rough equivalents IRL. The other isomorphic 1:1 mention I know of is the deserter explicitly citing ‘morphine’.
(Goldfish: Not real fish minus chips, but crunchy snacks. Imagine if you flattened raw ramen through a compress into a cutesy goldfish-shaped mould & basted the result in indulgently-toasty coloring & a salty-sweet flavour profile just bland enough to provoke one to keep munching in search of a completion that will never arrive. Discard your instinct. The goldfish will keep edging. The promise will never be fulfilled, never ever)
Make sure you’ve got shelf-stable food and water for everyone in the house, including pets. The rule of thumb is a gallon per person per day. Freeze water bottles if you want cold water.
Make sure you have enough meds!
Make sure you have batteries, candles, flashlights, and a manual can opener.
Make sure your electronics, including backup batteries, are charged. Unplug things you don’t want fried in case of a power surge.
Don’t tape your windows, it doesn’t help and you’ll just be stuck scrubbing goo off of them later.
Put a mug of frozen water in it in your freezer with a quarter on top of it. If your freezer defrosts, the ice will melt and the quarter will sink and tell you you need to throw things out.
Get everything that’s not nailed to a foundation out of your yard. That dead branch hanging on by a thread? Time to get it down (it was probably time to do that three days ago, but now’s better than never).
Park away from powerlines and trees if you can. Rain makes the ground soft and then trees fall over.
Have an evacuation plan to a shelter. Evacuate if they’re telling you to.
If you start to flood, don’t go in your attic. You’ll get trapped if the water rises too high and you can’t hack through your roof. This happened to a lot of people in Texas and Louisiana. Get ON the roof.
Be safe, be well <3
What the fuck?
???? WHAT???
Ngl, “tropical storm in death valley” was not on my 2023 bingo card.
Drainage on our roads is shitty in SoCal, don’t attempt to drive through water deep enough to touch your bumpers and don’t attempt to walk across moving water, water only as deep as your ankles can knock you down and sweep you away.
Predicted wind speeds are similar to strong Santa Anas, so lock things down like you would for that, though keep in mind that yeah the combination of heavy rain and wind leads to more felled trees than just wind.
Take photos of the inside of your home now; flood insurance fucking sucks here and if you’re in a possible flood zone you want as much documentation of your home and belongings as possible in case you need to make a claim.
Freezing water bottles also means you’ve got a lot of ice in your freezer if power goes out, and safe potable water once it thaws, so freeze bottles of water to have something to keep your fridge and freezer cool and store more water regardless of if you want cold water.
making friends is so Tough for no reason i can name like 5 people off the top of my head id love to be closer to but is it just me or do people dislike when others ask them to be friends. or am i just not sane chat T___T
This site’s tolerance and acquiescence to incest is so fucking insane like “I don’t support it but my mutual is cool so I’ll allow it” “richard siken’s artistic contributions to society absolve him” “ethel cain can ship whatever, she’s earned it” like I’m not going to lie to you it’s kinda looking like you do support it…
this post is perfect because it hits that sweet spot of being able to destroy my notifications with pissed off people forever BUT also being controversial enough that people who agree with this won’t reblog it either so it’s never breaching containment and I live in peace
