Fact #1: laser sights don’t help your aim; they’re highly inaccurate at any range longer than a couple dozen yards and only good for rapid target acquisition
Fact #2: absolutely every precision shooter knows this
Fact #3: almost nobody else knows this because movies have erroneously taught people that snipers paint a red dot on the target’s chest before they shoot them
Fact #4: any nazi who notices a red dot on their chest while giving a speech is going to immediately stop talking and get off the stage, probably while shitting themself
Fact #5: laser pointers are cheap, legal, and easy to conceal, and unless there’s smoke or dust or something in the air, theres no way to know where it’s coming from
i’m starting to hate the frequency of pinterest as a google result more than i hate pinterest itself. listen, google, googly-mate, pinterest isn’t a fuckign source. I want the sites those pictures came from because those are the ones with information such as dates, which is the entire point of the thing I am googling.
Damn right. How the hell am I supposed to find tutorials on how to do wire work or bead weaving when the first howevermany pages of Google results are some idiot’s cluster of Pinterest collections of those tutorials?
SOMEONE ELSE HATES PINTEREST AS MUCH AS I DO
not only does it fuck with sourcing images, but you can’t even SEE the images unless you have a ~pinterest account~ which I have zero interest in acquiring; it does this so completely adorable coy little thing where it shows you half the page and then when you scroll down it goes *complicated tiresome flower emoji face* JOIN PINTEREST 2 SEE MORE! *complicated tiresome flower emoji face* and my systolic reading spikes.
and google lists individual pinterest pages as separate results, so if a picture is popular, there can be HUNDREDS of pinterest listings before you find anything you could possibly trace back to a source.
listen, all my art bros who are mad about people not sourcing art, i dig that, i agree that sourcing is important, but maybe stop saying reverse image search is easy or ‘30 seconds’ or whatever. sometimes it’s just straight up impossible because fucking pinterest ruins everything.
SUPER EASY WAY TO AVOID PINTEREST: type your query and then -pinterest
7 of the first 12 results are from pinterest
zero items from pinterest not a single one I’m free
if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
And if “don’t be rude to teenagers over a stupid jawbreaker” isn’t enough for you, consider
You can’t tell how old a kid is just by looking. I’ve known multiple 5th graders who were taller than I am, and I’m 25 years old. With their faces hidden by masks, you won’t be able to tell they’re elementary schoolers, but they still are.
Lots of older siblings are expected to take their younger siblings trick-or-treating, and they only get paid in candy.
You don’t know if that teenager is developmentally disabled.
You don’t know if that teenager spent most of their childhood in a hospital or sick and has never had the traditional trick-or-treat experience before.
You don’t know if this is that teenager’s first Halloween in America, and they just want to experience a piece of American culture.
You don’t know if that teenager ever gets candy any other day of the year.
You don’t know if that teenager has eaten anything at all today.
And those are just things I can think of off the top of my head.
If you were like me and relatively isolated/friendless as a teenager you didn’t get invited to parties and trick-or-treating was the only thing to DO that didn’t result in crippling loneliness.
dude handing out candy to anyone is FUN
kids, teens, parents, the really high guys from 204 that cut holes in their floral bed sheets to be ghosts- giving candy to people is AWESOME
oh god I live in a rural area i got literally ONE (1) trick-or-treater and getting rid of Halloween candy is HAAAAARD.
teens pls come to my house and eat the fucking candy i got a box of toblerones from costco i can’t eat this much chocolate.
yuri measures how drunk otabek is by how deep his voice gets and how dopey his smile becomes
a drunk otabek is a clingy otabek
“Yuuuura. Yuuuuraaaaa”
a karaoke GOD. will fight JJ for that microphone
the king of doing shots and the only skater brave enough to challenge katsuki yuuri to a drinking game (he loses, but he fought valiantly)
on good terms with the bouncers at every club. will get you into VIP like the true friend that he is
inventer of 101 unique and frankly sickening pet names for his yura
is the one in control of the speakers during house parties. everyone is a big fan of his mixes and requests them during every event
“Yura how much do you dare me to climb that fire escape” “Beka no” “Beka yes”
a wanderer. where did otabek go?? probably halfway across the city on a bus he stumbled onto when no one was looking
also a sudden sleepy drunk. will fall asleep on a warm slice of pizza if left unattended
has friends literally everywhere. forever bumping into random people he knows
sleeps like the dead after a night out and will not be seen before 2pm the next day. he avoids hangovers this way though, much to the annoyance of everyone else as they lie on the couch and groan through their headaches
in conclusion,,, i’d give my left tit to party with otabek for a night
