Experiencing brutal cold for a period of time every year keeps you humble
That’s why Californians are like that
Time to plastic over the windows for the season.
????? Why??????????
You put the plastic on the windows to stop the heat from leaking out of your house from between the panes, through the glass itself, and where the window is attatched to the rest of the house. This does make a drastic difference in the temeprature of your house and the amount of gas/electricity needed to keep it warm.
Some other Winter Things:
If you think there’s going to be an exceptionally deep freeze, you open up all the cabinets in the house to warm the air in there and keep the pipes from freezing/bursting.
If you’re going to be away for a while in winter, it’s adviseable to turn your water off to avoid the same.
Putting an electric Blanket between your topcover and bedsheet and pre-heating your bed for half an hour so you don’t get a chill going to bed.
Applying literal vasaline to your lips if you’re going to be in the cold for an extended time (more than 10-20 min, depending on latitude), becuase chapstick won’t cut it and your lips will split and bleed and HURT
Doing the same to your nose
Your tears go from liquid to gooey trying to produce a similar protection for your eyes. You can also feel the water freeze on your eyes if you step directly out into the cold.
Also since I know you’re a socal person- in the far north you can get as little as eight hours of daylight. 7AM to 3 PM. You need to by the most obnoxiously bright light possible and sit beside it or you will actually literally develop psychosis in some cases. It’s 4:30 and you need to take the dog out? it’s pitch black out.
Everything is covered in ice, which will alternately cause you to slip and break something, burn, or actually tear off your skin.
Christmas and the pressure to be jolly is much stronger in places with Winter. Get your Holly Jolly On In this Frozen Black Hellscape!!! It’s why people go real bananas on the holiday lights. they’re trying to stave off the void.
my new thing has been just… acting on my ideas. like i thought maybe my desk would look better on a different part of my room so i like. moved it? just like that! i ripped an old anatomy book and stuck the diagrams up on my wall like some kind of old timey victorian doctor. i wanted a starbucks and i walked one and a half miles back and forth in a floridian storm and goddamn it was a good coffee. life is too short babey if you think of something just do it. nike
Within seconds Riza has figured out this isn’t Roy. This is Envy. She and Mustang know each other that well, to the point she’s confident enough pointing a gun to an imposter within SECONDS.
Like, they exchange less than ten sentences talking to each other, and she knows enough to point a fucking gun at him.
And she’s smirking about the fact she knows how to prove it’s an imposter.
She’s immediately ready to take Envy down with this trickery.
She already knows how to do it.
How to be badass and prove this ain’t Roy and take down this damn imposter.
It only takes one statement for Riza to fool Envy into revealing himself. ONE STATEMENT “The colonel calls me Riza” and Hawkeye has entirely outmanipulated our shapeshifting manipulator.
bait taken JUST like that, so easy
The reason her lie is believable is because of how close Mustang and Hawkeye are
how close everyone knows Mustang and Hawkeye are
to the point even enemies like Envy would think “oh they’re together that makes sense”
to the point that when Riza tells Envy this lie, Envy doesn’t try to continue the facade and be like, “Well, how do I know you’re not Riza!Envy and lying to me??” Envy just goes “SHIT I FUKKED UP BAD” and flips
Riza knows that this will be believable and gets Envy to reveal himself, like, dayyyuumn woman
Envy’s immediate reaction is enough to prove beyond-all-shadow-of-doubt to Riza this is definitely-not-Roy. I mean, Riza already knew. But she just proved it. And so she shoots before Envy can
even
really transform out of the Roy appearance (in the manga, anyway)
That fast reaction
BANG
And then this calm “I lied”
like holy fuck that’s awesome
and then this fucking “Thanks for falling for it”
like fuck what she did was calmly tell Envy he fell for it and that she totally meant him to fall for it and that it was so easy for him to fall for it
like that’s power
that’s POWER, Riza
all so calm and steady and in POWER Riza
and then this fucking “Now do me a favor and die”
NOW
DO
ME
A
FAVOR
AND
DIE
bambambambambambambambambamba BANG BANG BOOMMMM RIZA GUNNING ENVY DOWN LIKE A BADASSSSSSSSSS
WAY TO GO HAWKEYE!!!
WOOOHOOO
YYYYEEEAAAAAAHHHH
BOOM
BABY
FUCK YEAH [insert Al gif here]
GNGE:OGIWENG:OIN YES
ICONIC RIZA MOMENT IS FUCKING BADASS AND ICONIC YO
If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!
You’d need a license for everything!!!!
And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.
No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!
Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.
Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).
I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!
I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.
not to sound too millennial here but it annoys me so much when I’m at a restaurant and someone I’m with will complain about the service being slow like buddy pal it’s fine it’s not that important
You didn’t waited 40 minutes for a dinner before haven’t you?
i have but i also have, like, real problems
I waited well over an hour for food once at IHOP, because it kept coming out inedible.
We finally asked what was going on, and it turns out that the ONLY cook had been working for 36 hours straight with only a short nap.
I ordered the easiest thing to make, tipped the waitress heavily, and sent her back to the cook with a $10 tip for them, too, AFTER watching the 24-hour restaurant close the doors so that they could send the cook home for some rest.
Yeah, I’ve waited 40 minutes for my dinner, and I didn’t ask for a discount, we tipped VERY well, and sent the cook our best wishes.
If something goes wrong with your restaurant experience, consider that there are real people back there, working under god knows what conditions.
“Millennials” are more human than their previous generations imo
“You didn’t waited 40 minutes for a dinner before haven’t you?”
“i have but i also have, like, real problems”
This has such a baby boomer vs. millennial energy and i think about this exchange everyday
bullshit central
