Amazing how every guide on interacting with police, including ones that are explicitly pro-cop, are indistinguishable from guides on how to avoid being attacked by a wild animal.
Don’t make any sudden movements, avoid eye contact, stay calm or you WILL die. Wait, what do you mean this is advice for interacting with a human being and not a hungry bear?
“Keep your hands on the steering wheel and don’t have anything in them, a police officer might mistake a cellphone for a weapon.” Okay, should I also hold my hand out for him to sniff when he approaches so that he knows I’m not a threat?
Don’t worry officer, I’m not reaching into my glove compartment for a gun, I’m grabbing the bag of beggin’ strips in hopes that your power trip and homicidal impulses will be appeased with a little treat :3

What the heck is your Tumblr header? Are the girls okay?? What's happening in that picture?? I have so many questions.
I don’t even like Hilda that much. I just love this piece of art.
The colors, the poses, the composition. The fact all of the girls are on-model for their show’s style and yet still fit perfectly in the same scene. It’s masterful.
why didn’t they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?
Fun fact: they did leave Pompeii! It’s estimated that the population pre-eruption was something like 20,000, and the most likely number of dead in is in the range of 1,500-4,000. So most people just did leave Pompeii, it’s just that not everyone left or could leave.
I’d have still left. the human body is capable of wonderful things in the face of danger
A lot of people died in the boats tho:/
I would have paddled away quickly
I take pretty hot baths so I think I’d be able to last a little longer than the average person
The scariest thing about pyroclastic flow is that if you can see it, no matter how far away it is, there is no possible way of surviving
I’ve done incredible things. I think you’d be surprised.
the beauty of watching star trek is that one episode is 4.7/5 stars with an absolutely groundbreaking concept and worldwide critical acclaim and the very next episode is the worst thing aired on television that decade
You only get ‘groundbreaking’ if you’re breaking new ground. It’s not until you’re 20m deep in new earth that you know whether you’re investigating something new that humanity will treasure for decades to come or digging yourself a hole to throw rotting rubbish in. When you do new stuff, the price of some of it being great is that a lot of it will be bad, and you don’t know which is which in advance.
really not a fan of entire (mostly black) music genres being compressed and confined to being seen as “video game” music to be totally honest
acid jazz isn’t acid jazz anymore, it’s persona 5 music. new jack swing is just sonic cd music. jungle is the latest victim of this and is being relabeled as “ps1/n64” music even when the genre exists well beyond the confines of a couple dozen games from that period. and it sucks because the composers/artists who worked on these songs obviously adore those genres and where they come from. it’s not their fault. but it just makes me sad seeing these genres effectively being whitewashed by people with zero interest in learning about their origins
For those who want to learn about which genres were used in different video game soundtracks, I’d recommend using RateYour Music. Tools for browsing genres via spotify really suck because it categorises them by shared listeners, while on RYM it’s done by user consensus.
Here’s what it has for Persona 5 and Sonic CD, as an example. It does still include that they’re VGM, but there’s a lot more detail about the genres used.
