The nice thing about getting older is realizing more clearly what you like and what you do not like.

it's just extra awkward when fiction reminds you of what could have been

Sometimes I laugh when I'm upset because there is no other possible reaction and wallowing seems uncomfortable at 3am.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

I'm just a little bit depressed like, it's so light that I don't feel like dying. I just don't really feel like living.

Hold up

Fuck Harry Potter.

Read your kids The Hobbit like my dad did for me.

Or teach them to read with the Animorphs.

It does make me feel weirdly better that even the pope has strangers explain his job to him on the internet

I had so many questions when a friend played "Love is an Open Door" from Frozen during her wedding.

Oh my god the thumbnail, her muscles...😍😍😍😍😍

There are also some cute fanmade PTN sticker packs on here too. Like this Shalom one, as cute pets (By the same artist who did that ED on an official stream iirc) and Coco the sassy cat

Honestly social media has been so much better since I adopted "don't engage, just block" as a strategy. Also I find I get much less angry when the dickheads show up. I just go, "oh, troll, right," and immediately block them, no change in blood pressure and I've forgotten they exist seconds later.

ooooooo this is intriguing

Was at a conference dinner a while back and one guy said "The future is AI. It doesn't replace senior developers, but no more need for juniors."

To which i replied:

"Where do you think senior developers come from. Straight from the womb?"

He went quiet, then wandered off to a different huddle.

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.

"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

Yuuuuup. Being an asshole limits your options. Or to put it another way, in any major project there's room for maybe one asshole. That's probably not going to be you, and you shouldn't fight anyone for that role.

Anyone who uses the phrase "suicidal empathy" should honestly just be banished to a cave until a rabid badger eats them. They're not fit for society.

Changing your opinion on people/things/events due to new information is actually very normal and usually a sign that you're capable of critical thought. You don't have to "ride or die" something just because you enjoyed it once upon a time.

you should do it!

Artists, this is your regular reminder to unshrimp. You're sitting like a question mark right now.

The ruined Ploutonion (temple to Pluto) at Hierapolis.

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”.

Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS

There's something fun about bringing even more dramaaaa to emojis, when you make them longer.

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures

"Ordinary laziness was merely the absence of effort. Victor had passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out on the far side. He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labour."
