There are probably more that I’m missing. Some of these videos are part of a series (GI Joe, Potter Puppet Pals) and I didn’t count shitty videos like those idiot laughing babies.
I can’t believe The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny isn’t on here (basically pretty much every major pop culture character in a huge battle royale to the death).
so on 4chan the word “wapanese” was used to refer to dumb anime nerds. white boy wannabe japanese. makes sense.
A mod got pissed at it being used so much and said that the next person to use it would get banned, so the boards decided to use a silly nonsense word to replace it.
by complete general consensus, the boards picked the word “weeaboo” from a perry bible comic.
henceforth, “weeaboo” was used in replacement of “wapanese”.
Hitler promised to make his country strong again. Stalin vowed to restore the glory of his people. Mao Tze Tung started the “Great Leap Forward” to make China better, more efficient, and stronger. Trump promises to make America great again.
Hitler believed the best way to make Germany strong again was to murder an entire ethnicity, along with the gays, roma, and anyone else who happened to cross him. Stalin instituted the Great Purge, took over the economy, and execute who knows how many farmers. Mao Tze Tung seized all the farmland, shipped the actual farmers to the cities and the cityfolk to work on the farms, and shot anyone accused of being smart and/or badmouthing his regime. Trump wants to build a wall to protect Americans from those awful Mexican rapists, register and/or deport the Muslims, and kill the families of people he says are terrorists.
Hitler sent his prisoners to camps in other countries to be beaten, starved, and worked to death if not immediately terminated. Stalin sent his prisoners to gulags in Siberia to be beaten, starved, and worked to death if not immediately shot. Mao Tze Tung sent his prisoners to “re-education farms” to be beaten, starved, and worked to death if not immediately murdered. Trump probably has the same general idea, the way the rest of his politics are reading.
Hitler invaded half of Europe to push his master race idea. He was pretty friendly with Stalin until he decided to invade Russia. Stalin invaded the other half of Europe for the glory of communism. Mao was too busy waging war on his own people to invade anyone else but I’m sure he would have if his army wasn’t otherwise occupied. He was also pretty chummy with Stalin Stalin is now thankfully dead but Trump is still working that Russian bromance.
Hitler’s policies resulted in the massive destruction of his own country, and the starvation and death of millions of not only his own people (the Jewish ones, anyway) but those from neighboring countries. Stalin’s policies resulted in the starvation and death of millions. Mao’s policies resulted in the starvation and death of millions. We’ll have to wait and see about Trump. I am not optimistic.
Hitler had a cult following of devoted sycophants, and appealed to millions of Germans who believed in his message of superiority. Stalin had a cult following of devoted sycophants, and appealed to millions of Soviets, though it was lethal to profess otherwise. Mao was revered by his people and still is to this day. Trump appealed to enough Americans to land him in the white house, despite his message of superiority, hate, and offensiveness.
Hitler controlled the media and used it as a propaganda machine. Stalin controlled the media and used it as a propaganda machine. Mao controlled the media and used it as a propaganda machine. Trump wants to control the media.
Hitler was directly responsible for the deaths of over 6 million people. Stalin was directly responsible for the deaths of 35-50 million people. Mao was directly responsible for the deaths of over 70 million people. Trump has time.
Oh, and finally
No one thought Hitler would rise to power. No one thought Stalin would amount to more than a government thug. No one thought Mao would be more than a political agitator. No one thought Trump would win.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Anonymous asked:
yo can you link that youtube playlist of important videos again i wanna send it to someone but i lost track of it
Rey in her series of flash backs sees many things, Kylo Ren and a sort of squad (knights of ren?) surrounded by multiple dead bodies. We see Luke place his hand on R2-D2 and then we also see Rey being left behind on Jakku and a ship leaving her with the guy she gets her rations from (forgive me i don’t know his name)
so going off the assumption that Rey was with all the other Jedi Trainees and yet she was spared from it.
which means someone got her out
i think we have 3 options when it comes to who left her on Jakku, her mother, luke, or Kylo Ren
While there’s no evidence for it being her mother, there’s no evidence against it either.
so that leaves us with Luke and Kylo Ren
My problem with it being Luke IS luke wouldn’t abandon his last student and hope for the Jedi on a junkyard planet, left to all but starve. and at the end of the movie, luke seems surprised to see Rey, and the movie took a more hopeful turn when we saw that Luke let himself be found (he could’ve sensed her and hidden) because there was another student, ALSO and i think this is very important. Luke hated where he grew up, he wanted nothing more than to leave it, so he would not abandon a student (especially if it was his child) in a place so similar.
(also family was important to Luke, he would’ve left his child with his sister)
AND FINALLY Rey is left with the junkyard guy (sorry) someone who clearly didn’t care for Rey or her health or safety, luke again would not leave his student (or child) in the hands of someone who clearly gave no reason to trust them
SOOOOOOOOO THIS BRINGS ME TO WHO I REALLY THINK IT IS.
Kylo Ren was a student, Luke’s student who failed to kill just
ONE
of the Jedi
why Rey survived would have to be debated as well
My theories
- If we are going on the belief that Rey is Luke’s daughter, Kylo Ren could’ve spared her because she was Luke’s daughter, and he knew it would bring him pain if he kept her hidden
- again, on the assumption Rey is luke’s daughter, that would make Kylo Ren and Rey family, and he could’ve been unable to kill his younger cousin
- it is possible that while Kylo Ren was training, something happened that made him feel responsible for her, maybe (and not in a creepy way) he loved her and wanted to protect her (it’s not impossible that Kylo had friends/ people he loved)
- Rey is powerful, Kylo Ren may of known this, and therefore kept her on Jakku, not wanting to waste the power, but keep it hidden until he could use it to his advantage
I personally would like to believe that Kylo Ren and Rey were friends (almost a mentoring relationship- like when a 5th grader mentors a kindergartener) and that he did not wish for any harm to come to her and therefore he kept her on Jakku.
Now let’s think, the junk collector guy who Rey was left with. He is easily bought? Yes
Someone probably convinced him to hold on to Rey when they left. But we knew he is easily bought, so what was he paid. Let us think.
First we knew that as time goes by what Rey brings to him gets her less rations, so whoever paid the man to hold on to her, clearly didn’t pay enough for it to last until her older age. (her welcome is being worn off)
Let’s think of what he has, The Millennium Falcon?????
now we all know who the Falcon belongs to, Han Solo. But we also know who Han Solo is and who he has fathered.
When Rey and Finn leave during the attack on Jakku, they take the Falcon and the junk guy scream “That’s my ship!”
But it’s not, but perhaps he thinks he truly has claim over it because it was traded in exchange for a favor. The Millennium Falcon, for watching over Rey?
Now we have to keep in mind that Ben Solo (Kylo Ren) would probably not be a stranger to the Falcon, and perhaps Rey even helped him fly it at a young age when he came to Jakku.
(now i know there was a list of people who supposedly had the falcon, but i still believe it could’ve ended up in Ben Solo’s hands, it certainly ended up in Rey’s)
So I believe that in exchange for watching over (or just holding Rey back) Kylo Ren gave the junk guy (i need a name) the Millennium Falcon.
more evidence of it being Kylo Ren who left her on Jakku is similar to my other post “What Girl?”
but think about it, Kylo Ren was very distressed when he heard that not only had Finn gotten away with the BB-8, but they escaped with a girl on the Millennium Falcon.
ALSOOOO Kylo Ren never tries to kill Rey,
he could easily kill her, but he never does
(he slams her against the tree, but I believe it is to get her out of the way so he can deal with Finn)
but he never really tries to kill her or harm her beyond that.
He even offers to show her the ways of the force THE FORCE, NOT THE DARK SIDE.
He says she needs a teacher, a mentor, which would go along with the idea that he felt like a mentor/ responsible for her.
He even shows his face to her because he wants her to see him for who he is, and not be scared and think he is a creature trying to hunt her. He does it without being asked. He reveals himself entirely by his choice.
for a girl who had been left on Jakku, as alone as he felt inside.
Sorry for super long post but this got badly out of hand. Happy Valentine’s and stuff, here are these two being sorta cute but dysfunctional af. (Tumblr destroys the image quality, open in new tab to view properly).

I feel like I should make a post about this because it’s not something that’s very well-known, and that Americans in particular may need to know about given the uncertain state of our healthcare system at the moment. I’ve wanted to write this out for a while, It’s kind of a long post, so sorry about that!
If you have an emergency and have to go to the hospital, you’ll owe the hospital a lot of money. (I got into a car wreck and broke my ankle and my arm. My hospital bill was around $20,000)
You’ll also owe the ambulance provider, if you need one. (My ambulance bill was about $800)
You may get separate bills from the anesthesiologist or surgeon. (My anesthesiologist bill was $1,700)
You may need follow-up appointments. (My orthopedic surgeon billed me for the appointments and his surgery together and it was about $1,000)
You’ve also got to pay for medical equipment you need afterward, like crutches or a walking boot. (Mine cost about $75)
Altogether, I ended up with almost $24,000 in medical debt from one car accident. That’s a really scary number for someone like me who makes $10/hr at a 12 hour a week job.
I got my debt down to $1075 by making some phone calls and submitting some paperwork.
The first thing I did was contact the hospital. They don’t make it easy to find, but many hospitals (perhaps most hospitals?) have financial assistance programs for people who can’t afford medical bills. I don’t make a lot of money, and I have bills to pay, so they were able to help me. I called the billing department and asked if they had any assistance programs for low income people who can’t pay their bills. I had to call multiple times, and I got transferred in circles by people who didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally, I got an appointment with someone in “Eligibility Services” (I don’t know what other hospitals call it, if it’s something different). I had to bring my pay stubs and copies of all of my bills. When I got to the hospital for the appointment, nobody knew what I was talking about so I had to wander a little to find where I needed to go. I spoke with the guy in Eligibility Services, and I waited for a decision on how much of the bill they would forgive. A month later, I got a call telling me it was totally forgiven.
I did the same thing for my ambulance bill and my anesthesiologist, but the process was a LOT easier. I just had to mail some paperwork and it was totally forgiven.
I didn’t bother with the medical equipment suppliers, since the bills came from separate companies and I didn’t feel like going through the process twice for $75. I was assured at the hospital that they had similar programs for debt forgiveness, so I could have probably avoided paying that too.
The only thing I couldn’t get taken care of was the surgeon/follow-up appointment cost, but they were able to put me on a no-interest payment plan.
Medical debt is scary because it’s something that can come from stuff that’s already really scary. I didn’t need the burden of $24,000 in debt on top of trying to get around on a crutch with a broken arm (it’s not easy, believe me!).. but I can’t imagine what it would be like with a bigger debt or a more severe medical emergency. I see lots of people in even worse trouble than I was in, both financially and medically. Please know that there are options for you when that GoFundMe doesn’t do enough. Even if your income is higher than mine, it’s worth a shot even for partial debt forgiveness.
