Au where Danny flees to Europe after identity reveal gone wrong and finds himself in Paris France at the height of Akuma Activity and being the massive ball of angst he is Hawkmoth instantly zeros in on him.
He spends like 20m listening to some French guy in his brain ramble menacingly, not comprehending an ounce of it.
And like, it’s not like it’s doing anything.. so he kinda just?? Keeps walking around like hm. Free white noise ig,,
People notice the telltale sign of an akuma, but watch on as … nothing happens.
The French guy in his brain sounds a little upset now which is kind of a bummer, but whatever.
Local heros Ladybug and Chatnoir watch on as this guy just. Sits down at a fountain. Doing nothing. Wearing them butterfly walkie talkie glasses… nothing.
It’s almost 27 minutes before he opens his mouth and everyone realizes he’s foreign atfsajkbkk
i just think if youre a teenager and legitimately considering doing a fast food job because of the restaurants desperation to undercut their employees and ignore safety updates to their locations so they can continue killing their workers in a streamlined fashion
then you have to be a bitch
im sorry but you literally cannot be a nice helpful kid even if thats who you are
your boss isnt your friend and wants to eat you alive sucking away any time off you can get. forcing you to do more and more jobs that arent your responsibility. and they will continue to do it if you are not a bitch
do not freely offer to do things that arent your responsibility. do not come in every time they ask you to when you arent supposed to be working. do not trust them when they butter you up to tell you how smart and competent you are just so they can get you to do things you shouldnt be doing
sorry but thats what working is like. they will hollow you out until there is nothing left of you. do not be kind.
and dont trust their guilt trips either. theyre fake. you arent actually in trouble for not coming in on your day off and given that you already have work experience now as a literal child youre a hot commodity at every other restaurant looking to undercut their staff
these places are notorious for abusing kids and breaking the already eroded child labor laws. so you cannot be kind and naïve when stepping into them. know your worth.
a kid with labor experience is incredibly valuable to all the other greasy fucks owning death traps that serve burgers and fries.
I found this really important tiktok about what to do if a Jehovah’s Witness or Morman missionary comes to your door:
I spent some time in a Jehovah’s Witness church. They’re exceptionally skilled at recruiting people into their church. (And I was an ATHEIST)
I left after a couple months, I stayed just long enough to see that they explicitly believe women are inferior to men, and of course, that homosexuality is a sin on par with murder.
The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah’s Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them. One of the first things they teach is that Jesus requires you to try to convert non Christians to the faith. (They say non Christian but mean non JW.)
Then they say, “look how people treat us, just for the crime of wanting to save their soul”
They have long time church members tutor the incoming members to smooth the process over. They’re trained to smooth away any doubts you may have about the church.
It is a textbook cult but because it’s a Christian cult, nobody will do anything about it.
I just wanted to share, in case no one realizes how messed up JW can be, my family only left after the elders followed around my teenage aunts and other young women to “ensure they weren’t sinning” and my great-grandparents STILL stayed!
Exmormon here, this is TRUE, to reiterate from satanslover above, “The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah’s Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them.”
The same is true of mormonism. I know how annoying the missionaries are, but please take just ten seconds to be polite to them instead, please support cult victims 💖💖

Here’s why you should not try to scare Mormons or Jehovah’s Witnesses that come knocking on your door:
It might be funny, in the moment, to say, “oh, sorry, I can’t go to church on Sundays, that’s when I sacrifice aborted fetuses to Beelzebub.” But it can be damaging in the long run to anyone who is thinking about escaping their cult. People who are in cults are told that the outside world is evil, and while they may not like conditions of the cult they’re in, they’re guaranteed that the outside world is ten times worse; and you trying to scare them away can reinforce those beliefs.
What’s recommended by cult experts (and cult escapees) is that you take the time and listen to them if you have the time. Then you can politely deny, and say “sorry, I’m not interested”, or “sorry, I’m [this other religion]”. I like to give snacks or bottled water to anyone. If it’s Jehovah’s Witness kids, I like to ask if they watch Caleb and Sophia, which is a popular Jehovah’s Witnesses cartoon.
The idea is to plant the seed in their mind that the outside world isn’t so bad and that they can leave if they want to.
Tumblr and Twitter really are evolving into a sort of evil-opposites situation, aren’t they? On Twitter you can post a high-definition video of yourself sticking a can of Red Bull up your ass but will get dinged for a terms-of-service violation for joking about a random C-list celebrity experiencing mild discomfort, while on Tumblr you can make death threats against the President but can’t show your nipples.
what’s that make facebook
Facebook is the evil opposite of 4chan.
Please elaborate. I wish to hear
Anonymity-as-moral-virtue versus compulsory total disclosure
Openly hostile to the notion of personal media exposure boundaries because toughen up snowflake versus actively encourages the formation of dysfunctional echo chambers
Majority of content is worthless due to an anything-goes culture that pushes people to be vile as a demonstration of in-group solidarity versus majority of content is worthless due to moderation policies that are at once overbearing and ineffective
Exploiting manufactured outrage over trivial shit as a grassroots fascist recruiting tool versus selectively exposing users to neo-Nazi content as a top-down strategy to drive advertising clicks
one of my pettiest complaints about star trek is that they always say “hailing [the other ship]” and then 0.3 seconds later say “no response” as though they’re meant to have had time to even register they’re being hailed let alone RESPOND
I was on a bus once when this guy tapped my knee and pointed out that we were the only two people not looking at their phones and then asked what I was thinking about.
sometimes when I’m having a bad day I relive the moment I saw the his manic pixi dream girl hopes draining from his eyes and fill up with confusion and boredom as I explained to him I was thinking about which Rupaul’s Drag Race challenges Frank n Furter would preform best in and locked him into the conversation until it was my stop
