#mass panic

[hometoursandotherstuff]

I swear. I went to Walmart yesterday to pick up a few things and it was a complete madhouse on a weekday. People were in panic mode. I had to find someone who was leaving to wait for their parking space, follow someone for their shopping cart, navigate the aisles blocked by people standing, staring at the shelves, and wait an hour in line. It had to be about the eclipse.

Bad News is a short free online game that teaches you to recognize when people are posting misinformation. A study published in a peer-reviewed journal found that playing this game makes you less susceptible-- though never immune-- to this type of propaganda when you encounter it on social media.

#media literacy #social media #online game #impersonation #propaganda #rated PG-13 #rating is because the authors say they intended it for an audience age 14 and up but the actual content is mild and not graphic #it's less graphic than you would see on the regular evening news... though it's much weirder #it refers to some troubling issues such as: #covid-19 #pandemic #coronavirus #conspiracy theories #violence #police violence #climate change #online harassment #meteorite strike #doomsday #mass panic #botnet #genetically modified foods #genetically modified organisms #gmos #pollution #clickbait #plane crash #plane accident #misinformation and disinformation

Listen as tragic as it is I love when AO3 crashes because within minutes there are hundreds of post freaking out about it. The sense of community is unmatched

#AO3 #fanfiction #archive of our own #I love when the degenerates of the internet all come together in mass panic

my favorite thing about john wick is how there is always a club scene and how people always keep dancing as people around them are getting shot and impaled by axes and whatnot

#like aesthetically that is ofc way cooler than a mass panic event #but also #lmao #john wick

Today's random fandom thought:

Thinking about the differences between novel MDZS and tv series The Untamed canon - more specifically Su She choosing to whisk Xue Yang's body away vs leaving him in Yi City to die.

Because setting any potential personal loyalty or possible friendship reasons aside - it would make sense to not, you know. Leave the corpse of a person who knows everything about the murder mystery and JGY's involvement behind anywhere near the Yiling Laozu.

Because if Wei Wuxian really wanted answers, he could just. Ask.

So presenting you with the possibility the Untamed events offer: Wei Wuxian raises Xue Yang as a sentient fierce corpse and commands him to talk. He's the Yiling Laozu, the most powerful demonic cultivator ever. Xue Yang may be stubborn, but as Wei Wuxian's personal fierce corpse, I don't think he could really refuse.

And if Wei Wuxian was curious enough to look for more answers... the specifics of what happened to his shishu Xiao Xingchen... Xue Yang might grind his teeth about it (and very possibly be surprised by the truth himself), but would have to confess how much he misses him, and why he really wanted him back.

Maybe the truth'd be pitiful and tragic enough that Wei Wuxian felt conflicted about re-deading him after getting his answers. Maybe having an insider informant on their team would make fierce corpse Xue Yang useful enough to keep around until they've solved everything about the murder mystery, over at the conference in Jinlintai. Something, something, handwave - WangXian have another third wheel fierce corpse now.

I don't know. I just find the idea of very unwilling fierce corpse Xue Yang getting dragged along and (extremely grudgingly) helping them solve murder mysteries hilarious.

So much potential for angst, snark, reluctant bonding and all that other really good stuff. 🥰

#the untamed #mdzs #xue yang #at least wen ning is a well-behaved and quiet corpse #xue yang would gladly send them walking into a volcano #if he could manage it #imagine lcx rolling up to jinlintai with his uninvited little brother and TWO masked mystery men #jgy KNOWS who they are of COURSE he knows #the awkward arrival scene just got 10x more awkward #the dimples of panic have reached critical mass

was supposed to only skim through a book I need to study for an exam but it actually ended up being interesting. I don't think I'll ever graduate

#it's called fear: a cultural history by joanna bourke #last night i read the chapter about disasters and mass panic #and how if mass panic sets in it'll take 5 minutes for people to start dying. so you have to be able to evacuate in 3-4 minutes #also mass panic sets easily in places where emotions are manipulated ie. theatre and sports stadiums #after the victoria hall disaster in 1883 where children were trampled to death as they scrambled for a toy prize after a theatre show #they invented those doors with the horisontal handles that you can push and they open. the crash bar #which prevents a mass of people getting stuck #anyway. i'm here all week for history trivia #nor's rambles

"But then I realised that the things that interested me and brought me joy terrified and hurt everyone else."

I always wondered why Durin died in such a relatively good mood but Elynas' words make it make more sense. It's not that Venti's music kinda hypnotised him to make him stop attacking Mondstat; it's that he was just playing the whole time. Unfortunately, his idea of playing terrified and hurt the populace.

It's also interesting that Elynas has the potential to be brought back to life despite being an entire literal pile of bones. But it begs the question of what death is, if it is not a true death. What is it that makes his bones and his being remain, when all the small things we kill turn to dust? Why does Durin's heart still beat? Is Durin the mountain, now? Is the reason Dragonspine is so dangerous that, even now, he does not understand his own strength?

#genshin impact #genshin impact spoilers #i guess? anyway i finished the melusine quest and learned more about Elynas #what draws albedo up dragonspine is not just his alchemy studies #but the echo of 'brother' from the core #could durin be revived given a sufficiently motivated abyss herald to help him? #also love how elynas is fond of jakob 'just tried to kill everyone else using my body as a weapon' [redacted] #this thing is not human! it does not have human values and notions! #durin would probably need a blood transfusion but i am sure elynas would gladly provide #it's a very nice sea monster and it wants to be your friend. as soon as it figures out how to be alive without causing #mass panic and destruction the (wedding) is back on. #ingold! that's jakob's last name #anyway i love him. elynas that is. not jakob.

sitting here desperately trying to figure out who the big three of gone is and my brain is flicking between “sam, dekka and brianna” and “caine, drake and diana” before realising realistically, it’s actually albert, quinn and lana 😭 without them, everyone would have either starved to death or bled out

#like sure hunter also helped w getting meat but after he dies what then #their only meat source would have been fish and who thought of that first ? #and albert was the only one able to keep the kids working in fields like i have major beef w the little weasel but he was SMART #and if lana just decided to just. stop healing ? mass panic #gone series #the gone series #gone michael grant #michael grant #fayz #the fayz #lana arwen lazar #quinn gaither #albert hillsborough
