Horrors We've Unleashed

Mosquitoes have killed more humans than every disease ever (edit: when you obviously exclude malaria) along with every war ever, combined.

Fuck those little shits. Let them all die, it will literally change nothing on this planet because nothing solely survives off predation on mosquitoes or their larvae.

I'm going insane

Subtle supernatural horror is my fucking favorite.

It doesn't spoon feed you the scare, it doesn't cheaply jump scare you like you're a fucking toddler incapable of understanding danger like most low quality films and lazy video games do.

It simply brings into your realization a certain primal fear that something isn't right, and you can't explain why.

It's unsettling because you don't know for sure if you're going to immediately die, which makes it even more frightening.

It's called uncanny.

They're probably fine... right?

Military sonars are so loud that if you happened to be idly floating near one (let's say closer than 500 meters away) as it does one of its strongest pings, your entire body would cavitate into pink mist; it's weakest ping would rupture every organ in your body instantly, all of your bones would fracture in place and some of your blood at the skin surface would boil from the sonars ping causing rapid pressure changes right in front of whatever is supposed to remain of your face.

Imagine standing next to a hundred grenades as they all simultaneously explode, but also pretend you are spared from the heat wave of the explosion and not the blast wave.

GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”

“GOG regularly adapts its structure to its strategy and ongoing projects, sometimes this means eliminating certain roles — as was the case recently.”

Yeah, but firing 30% of your entire contract workforce reveals that you don't give a flying fuck about sustaining the lifespan of the storefront and prefer to pad the executives golden parachutes from the stock valuation.

I'm homeless and looking for work.

Go to the mosque where your parents pray regularly and tell the imam. That dude will not only help you out looking for a local job and a place to stay even though you aren't a Muslim, he will ban your parents if you ask him to, for violation of one of the foundational tenants of the Quran.

If the imam doesn't do that, then the teachings of Muhammad, where being kind to others who are in need, was never in their hearts and can go fuck themselves.

Please update this thread after you do this.
