I’m trying to do a character voice and would reeeally like some feedback for it please
What do you guys think?
What age/gender/character type does it sound like?
What kind of character are you visualizing?
I’m picturing a male kid, maybe 14 or 15 who is always sick so with his free time from being ill, he ended up becoming some sort of hacker or computer genius.
DAAYMN
Oil: Top three suppliers of oil to the US are Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. We also import oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Colombia, Angola, Brazil, Ecuador, Kuwait, and Russia, and obtain oil within America from California, Texas, and Alaska, among other states. We can do without oil from Africa if needed.
Gold: The top four sources of gold in the world are China, Australia, United States, and Russia. South Africa is #5 on the list and Ghana is #10, but 6-9 are Peru, Canada, Indonesia, and Uzbekistan. We can do without gold from Africa if needed.
Diamonds: True, approximately 65% of the world’s diamonds come from Africa. The remaining percentage, 35%, comes mostly from Australia, Canada, and Russia. The diamond trade would certainly suffer if goods were not allowed to be exported from Africa, although it should be noted that diamond exporters in Australia, Canada, and Russia would benefit from the resulting immense price inflation due to scarcity. I believe that the main effect of this would be A, people buying used diamonds more, and B, other jewels, gems, and precious stones becoming more popular than diamonds. Diamond tools are used to process Carbide alloy, hard or abrasive non-metallic materials (for example, stone, concrete, asphalt, glass, ceramics, gem stone and semiconductor materials), non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper and their alloys, and some soft but tough materials such as rubber and resin. However, enough diamonds are already in circulation that I do not believe a temporary embargo on diamonds from Africa would significantly affect industries using these materials.
Rubber: The top sources of rubber used by the US are China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Korea, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan, and the Dominican Republic. No country in Africa is among even the top 25 nations that export rubber to the US. An embargo on rubber exported from Africa will have little to no effect on the US economy, or the world economy outside of Africa, as most rubber is produced in South America and Asia.
Cocoa: Approximately 67% of the world’s cocoa is produced in Africa. The other 33% is produced in South America and Asia. This is probably the industry that would suffer the most from an embargo on exports from Africa, but let’s be honest- we can live without cocoa. Obesity is enough of a problem today that perhaps a scarcity of chocolate may even help.
Palm Oil: Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world, followed by Malaysia; the two countries account for 85% of the world’s palm oil production. Nigeria is the third largest producer of palm oil, followed by Thailand and Colombia. The palm oil industry is responsible for deforestation of many of Earth’s rainforests, and many believe it should be reformed if not shut down. The palm oil industry is also tied to child slave labor, and palm oil is just as bad for you as corn syrup. So not only is Africa not a large enough source of palm oil to significantly harm the industry on a global scale if there was an embargo, it may be ethically responsible to place an embargo on all palm oil anyways.
Iron Ore: The top five producers of iron ore in the world are China, Australia, Brazil, India, and Russia. Only one African country, South Africa is even in the top ten, and it produces only 2.3% of the world’s iron ore. Very little of the world’s iron ore comes from Africa, and an embargo on African iron ore would not affect the US economy or global economy outside of Africa in the slightest. I’m not certain how large an impact it would have on Africa’s economy, at that.
In closing, while I’m honestly not in favor of banning all flights from Africa and think it’s a stupid panic response that would be too costly and difficult to implement given the meager risk it represents, the statements in the tweet pictured above are very inaccurate. Africa does not have the power to shut down the world economy, and even if it did this response is petty and childish, and the exportation of goods from Africa has nothing to do with the spread of Ebola, given it requires infected people or animals or infected bodily fluids to actually spread, and is not spread by air or water, or even by food unless that food is the uncooked meat of wild animals that were infected with the Ebola virus.

I don’t understand this aesthetic.
neither do the police
Spanish is a beautiful language. You don’t say “I love you” in Spanish, you say “yo quiero comer culo” which translates to “you are the light of my life” which I think is one of the most beautiful things to say to someone
Think Anorexia is funny? Sorry. I am a survivor and find NOTHING cute about this.
Wanna dress up like an Anorexic? All it takes is:
- 4 years of hospitalization
- A nasogastric feeding-tube because you’ve starved yourself so much that your body doesn’t recognize food as a good thing and tries to attack itself.
- Re-Feeding Syndrome, which can kill you.
- Emotional struggles for years.
- A father crying and pleading on his knees begging for you to get help
- A mother who cries every time she sees you because you look and SMELL like death.
- Holidays missed, birthdays crying in a hospital.
- Almost every major organ in your body failing.
- A shower chair - because you can’t stand in the shower because you’re too weak and the warm water could make you pass out.
- A wheelchair, because you are too weak to walk and it could make you go into cardiac arrest.
- A lifetime of medications for anxiety and the health issues “Anna Rexia” caused.
- Plenty of money for multiple ER trips due to “Anna Rexia” even in recovery.
- And if you don’t get help like I do, or even if you do, a coffin. Because I’ve lost more friends to this eating disorder then anything I’ve ever faced.
I almost died from this. I know it’s supposed to be funny and shit and yeah I get that, but seriously. THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Anorexia is nothing to party about or laugh at. It’s real, it’s deadly, and should not be marketed as a slutty outfit.
Want to dress as “Anna Rexia”? Just go as a Vampire, or a Zombie. Because 1/3 of us are dead.
It’s that time of year again (almost!) I’m reblogging this again for the 2014 Halloween season.
It is NEVER okay to make fun or make light of eating disorders or any other kind of mental disorders. When will people understand this.
It is never okay to make fun of ANY body shape or ANY eating disorder. It’s ESPECIALLY not okay to say someone “looks” like (eating disorder) because that too can make them feel like shit. I get so pissed when people say I look anorexic because no matter what I do, I can’t gain any weight and I KNOW it’s not healthy, but DAMN I AM TRYING!

The fact that we all know what this means really says something about our social lives
you should all go to your blogs and hover over them
You should
YOOO HOLY SHIT GUYS
I JUST REALIZED THAT THAT’S YOU LOOKING FROM A SUIT NOT GOGGLES
DOES THIS MEAN YOU CAN HIDE IN THE EMPTY SUITS?
BECAUSE IF SO THAT’S FUCKING TERRIFYING AND I LOVE THAT VERY MUCH
I really feel like that is going to be what the whole game is about now and its amazing.
Now you will know what it’s like to wear an oversized fursuit!
I don’t think you can HIDE in the suites. If you remember from the fist game, the whole deal is that they will try and stuff you into a suite and that will kill you. I like the theory that mike takes the face off of bonnie and uses it to hide from a distance. Also, the theory that people will mistake mike for a furry.
*Sigh* Okay, time to go into my cartoon nerd rage mode.
First off the screenshot above is from the season 2 episode “Bart the Daredevil”, the quote is from the season 4 episode “Homer the Heretic”. Also I know this is nitpicking, but you got the quote wrong, it’s not “I owe it all to not going to church”, it’s “I owe it all to skipping church.”
People please remember to do your research before you post cartoon quotes.
