  • CW: illness and bodily fluids

    Warning: I’m not a doctor and the following comment isn’t medical advice. I’ll talk about first hand account.

    I’ve both heard of and seen people losing consciousness briefly while having a bad time puking hard or defecating hard. Happened to my dad once when he had a tough case of food poisoning, he was defecting and I heard a loud thud in the bathroom, ran there and found him with his face on the floor, fallen forwards. After that, it never happened again and it’s been years since that. I’m not trying to tell you not to pursue medical examination, but it wouldn’t be the first person getting worried over losing consciousness while doing serious gut effort.






  • Mario acknowledges that gays aren’t token good people all with similar qualities, but complex humans with their backstories, their personalities, their drives and their motives. As the king of Koopa Kingdom, Bowser was indoctrinated into a radically homophobic brand of religion and is closeted, which leads him desperately to harass Peach to the point of kidnapping her despite her refusals, in order to satisfy his desire of “fitting in” with what Bowser considers is “morally right” and “pure”.

    Mario sees his suffering and understands that the only way to put an end to his misery and to save Peach and the oppressed Koopas is to murder him once and for all, despite his moral objections to murder and to harm of queer people, but justifies it in the same way that the IRA justified the attempts on Thatcher despite her being a woman.

    In his last moments alive, Bowser hears Mario crying and screaming in pain, saying a last goodbye to Bowser’s tragic life: “so long, gay Bowser”. Bowser comes to accept his true self in the last seconds of life and accepts death, finally aware of himself and all the damage he’s done. It’s too late for himself, and dies at peace, knowing that the world will be a better place after he’s gone.

    It’s a deep and sad story

    By 2035 Elon will be in jail.

    Since the second half of the 2010s, he’s been promising investors that the “full self driving is next year”, and the technology just isn’t there, especially at consumer car prices.

    Chinese electric cars are objectively better and cheaper than Tesla, and with Tesla relying on Chinese batteries and car parts, the impending economic war between the US and China will make it impossible for Tesla to manufacture and sell their cars at a competitive price point (if at all).

    Tesla stock will sink, and then, investors will shift away the responsibility to the man that was demonstrably committing fraud by promising technology that didn’t exist. Elon won’t go to jail for being a sexual assaulter, or for destroying freedom of speech in his platform and pushing fascist talking points. He’ll go to jail for making rich people lose money.
