holy shit i thought this was an edit but he really said this LMAO
The absolute highlight of @ayeforscotland streaming this moment live over on Twitch was watching him take a sip of water right as Bojo came out with “them’s the breaks” and then almost fucking die while muted because he was laughing so hard.
1) that was THE most arrogant speech I have ever heard in my life, oh my god. “Actually I’m amazing, and I’ve done an incredible job leading and never once put a foot wrong, england survived this pandemic because me personally, and all those who have quit the parliament are doing so because they have a herd mentality and can’t think for themselves, and I am voluntarily giving up this position of my own magnanimous volition, but just remember, I saved Britain single-handedly.”
2) the amount of Americans in the comments like “wow he’s so honourable, look at how gracefully he’s conceding his leadership, more politicians should be like him” HI HELLO ARE YOU JOKING!?! Oh my god??? Honourable??? Gracefully conceding??????? The man has been personally embroiled in so many scandals that his own party was like “Yeah you need to quit mate” and he stomped his feet and screamed “NO!!” like a child, so instead THEY all quit, in numbers NEVER SEEN IN ALL OF HISTORY, and this went on until even those he hired to fill the void of those who’d quit said “Boris you’re a fucking wanker and you have to quit,” and he’s only (nominally) stepping down because he was forced to, and yet the yanks in the comments are praising him for honourably resigning? DUDES. That’s not remotely what happened.
3) that was, to reiterate, THE biggest wank-fest of a speech I have ever heard. My god, the sheer unbridled arrogance and the UTTER lack of situational understanding or so much as a hint of humility. Incredible. Staggering.
4) oh my god he really did say “thems the breaks.” Oh my god.
it’s really funny that i got accused of being an agent of western imperialism for criticizing the Chinese government while I’m currently going viral for a tweet dissing British politics. maybe some of us just aren’t bootlickers for ANY government lol
Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.
He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
YO SHRIMP EXPERTS WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? MY GIRL SNEEZED HER SOUL OUT.
Okay so, it seems like there’s two options: One, they’re cleaning their swimmerets and it causes a reaction because the swimmerets are very sensitive. And two, it’s a failed molting attempt.
I think the main thought behind the second option is the “sneeze” physical reaction is very similar to how shrimp get out of their molted skin. But usually shrimp are very still and observant right before attempting a molt, because it’s such a vulnerable and dangerous time for them wrt predators.
Seeing as this shrimp is vibing and cleaning itself like normal right before the sneeze, that makes me believe that it’s option one. It truly is a shrimp sneeze :]
