so Nate from fo4 is now canonically a war criminal now because a Bethesda writer/designer didn’t seem to have watched the clip he cited before tweeting ??????

link to this very interesting and funny video about the situation: https://youtu.be/_kgbYdmVSyM?si=Pn5_1tnh8kfLE-7W

youtube

#fo4 #fallout #fallout 4 #bethesda #fumbled yet again #jesus christ #honestly this makes fo4 a lot more interesting now #it’d just better if you still weren’t supposed to feel bad about your war criminal husband dying #maybe not still #but the way it was formatted it sounds like the writer meant that Nate was “innocent”#bruh #am i even real #like i’m actually alive and witnessing this rn #Youtube

is it a beige flag if i occasionally feel an instinctive urge to hang to the edge of a door frame and swing back and forwards, making creeking noises with my mouth in order to pretend i’m a door in desperate need of WD-40 or is that just insanity and therefore a red flag

please help if you can. something needs to be done.

Don't just email an MP. Get organised and think bigger.

We need to understand how there are many ways we can affect change, and if we're only thinking of limited individual action then it's easy to feel unheard. Older generations have plenty of time getting used to politics and asserting their influence, so let's take things seriously and make it clear that young people can and should be heard - and that involves some different tactics.

Contacting MPs is what I tell people to do because that's the basic step 1. It's easy. You just find your representative and tell them what the issue is, and what you want to see change. You don't need a template - it's literally just that simple.

But then what? Well, most people will stop there - but here's how to be more effective:

It's one thing for the politician to know your issue (they can't act without being informed) but it's important that they realise other people care too. This is the bit where you need to get organised and understand change is a community effort. The burden of responsibility isn't on your shoulders specifically, but you should seek out ways to get others to help.

Creating a petition is useful. If you make a physical one you can get signatures at a protest/rally. If you make an online one you can get signatures from posting in Facebook groups. Make social media posts and TikToks and tell others to do the same to spread awareness. Make multiple. Include calls to action. Tell people what you want to happen and how they too can get involved.

But also: engage with traditional media! Letters to the editor are a way to have a media outlet with massive reach publish your thoughts - and MPs will be able to read it. A few people email their office about a topic? OK, might look into that. It's getting media attention? It could escalate if left ignored.

Write physical letters to Members' offices! That's far harder to ignore than an email!

Find relevant interest groups/advocacy groups. Like when I'm trying to get people to care about how Western Australia has very outdated (and lacking) protections for LGBTQIA+ people I link them to Rainbow Futures WA because they're an organisation giving information and structure to that advocacy. Find groups relevant to what you want to see change and follow them on social media. You might not be confident enough to organise a protest, but if one is organised by a group you follow then you'll know about it and can boost the attendance.

Don't just email the government - email members of the opposition/crossbench. If they're bringing it up in Question Time, then how can the government defend itself if it keeps ignoring the issue? That feeds further into the media aspect of it because journalists will see it being brought up, and there could be a story there.

Is there a committee inquiry asking for public submissions on the topic that you can provide your perspective on? Look on the relevant parliament website to find out. Is a political party you support doing a survey on the topic so you can fill that out? Find out.

The aim isn't just to spam someone's inbox until they give you a satisfying response, the aim is to make it obvious that this is an issue for the community, this is an issue that needs action, and it will impact people's decisions at the next election.

All throughout this: talk to your friends about it. How are you, together, working on these ideas? How are you encouraging each other? How can you as a group reach more people with your message? How can you as friends help each other find the resources you need to stay informed? Organise as a group. It's far more effective that way.

Yes, starting with emailing an MP is important - and if that's all you can do, then at least you've done that. No guilt in not doing any of the rest of the list. But if you can do more, then that builds up and is useful, and the more people work together the better outcomes we can achieve.

#auspol #get shit done #before it spirals out of control #i believe in us

« a TellTale’s TWD Rant on Michonne EP2 & EP3 !!Spoilers!! »

if Norma hadn’t of used the flare-gun in EP3, she wouldn’t of been ripped apart by zoms, and it would’ve made the whole hostage transaction go down a lot smoother on her part - it works out in favour of the player, thankfully. simply pointing out that Norma is a fuck-knuckle for not using her crew’s radios/walkie-talkies (previously established in EP2, and earlier in EP3, they have working radios/walkie-talkies that they’re actively use) to signal them.

don’t know how much more TellTale walker-plot convenience i can take before i commit crimes that only god himself can judge.

miau?

y’all ever watch your cat slowly push something off the edge of a table, but you don’t stop them immediately because you lowkey wanna see what happens too

#cat #cats #cats being cats #cats being weird little guys #cats being silly #you lowkey being a cat yourself #yes sir #please push that glass off the table #consequences be damned #i wanna watch that shit shatter majestically #then clean it up and not tell my cat off because i was an accomplice too #maybe cut myself on a piece of glass i missed #but it was deserved for the crimes i have committed

Frozen would’ve been a god-tier film if Elsa had just murdered people. the moral dilemmas would’ve gone hard.
