it's not. tumblr, for instance, banned pornography specifically to comply with app store regulations. I think this might be something you're out of the loop on.

haha hell yeah

Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And I says to her, I says, oh shit, you’re right. So I bought like fifty thousand envelopes. Filled the house with ‘em, toes to tits. It was horrible. We couldn’t take a step without tripping over a box of envelopes. We were going crazy trying to use them up, to make a little space for ourselves. Used them as toilet paper, coffee filters... it was a terrible time. Please don’t ask me about those goddamned awful envelopes ever again. Kurt Vonnegut

tim cook is like 90% responsible for why the Internet sucks so much shit now (Sex-Negative Appification) so it is my sincere hope he is retiring due to accidentally swallowing a bag full of the scarabs that eat you from the inside from the 90s the mummy

bluesky is making fun of her for being a conservative moron, but i just checked twitter and conservatives are on there making fun of her for being an unhinged feminist lol

tweet from mary morgan reading "to those denying biology here - would you hire a male babysitter? you meet your kid’s kindergarten teacher and it’s a dude, how do you feel about that? what do women have that men don’t? … are we beginning to understand each other now? men aren’t women. none of this is a knock against men, it’s just true." insane reply from clippy avatar reading : "On the contrary, if the female babysitter molests my children she can play the victim in court. If the male babysitter molests my children he's well aware I can straight murder him and the jury, made up of people like you, will nod approvingly at every detail"

could not get a read on this guy whatsoever

I don't know what the hell that image is lol

The airport is six hours away??

see all of that to me is way better than an equivalent amount of time being at the airport or being on the way to the airport or stressing about being at the airport later. I also do a lot better on less sleep than most people though

that's the thing! I'm packed and loaded night before, everything arranged just so, I can wake and be ready to go in half and hour, airport's a half-hour uber with no traffic, so the waking range is more like 3:45-4:15AK. which is not so bad to me but also like I Get It lol

cause they'll hold your bags babyyy

also I pop a huge edible right before I go through security and that usually hits riiiight as the wheels leave the tarmac

see, for me, it's the only time I *can* nap

the way I always look at it is like... if I'm flying somewhere, that's the main thing I'm doing that day. up until the point I do that, that's all I'm gonna be thinking about. so why not just do it? plus I'm 6'3" and being sleepy helps me skip over the Knee Torture Hours

my travel trick is to always just simply take the earliest flight in the day to get where you're going. 5:30-6AM departure is ideal. roads are empty, security's empty, any potential delays got handled by the plane making up time on its redeye. get there an hour before boarding and nap on the flight

anytime I get down on myself about this I remember that extremely rich people ate the industry I'd spent ten years carving myself a little niche in. did what I had to survive and now it's time to start treating the wounds

I'm doing alright; I just broke the seal on having a credit card pretty hard for necessities during my year of unemployment and while I've been making well more than the minimum payments in the year following that interest rate is no joke

I was unemployed for a year and a half and things add up, alas

that rocks hell yeah

if someone is wearing recording glasses and looks at you I'm pretty sure you're within your rights to snatch them off and stomp em

been enjoying revisiting my long-dormant asoiaf special interest. and of course this time the winds of winner will be announced by the time I finish my reread, so that's cool

he's very pragmatic! and he adapts to the war like he was born for it. peeta and katniss both have massive PTSD (that they help each other through). but collins' position is
1) it is not good to be a person that can go through war and not go insane
2) it is actually FOR REAL better to die than kill

violence being the seductive option that will eventually destroy what you love is a core theme of the series, which doesn't work if gale isn't hot! you'll get no debate from me that on the surface he seems like the better choice. but it'd be a short series if he were

oh yeah lol I don't really have a dog in the fight for who is best boy, just a lot of details on why *collins* thinks he is best boy

no dogpile intended! I just literally wrote a thesis in grad school on modern Catholicism as expressed through pop culture lit so this is kind of a "former expertise" landmine goin off sorry

I am afraid it is indeed that on the nose

because suzanne collins is catholic and the one of the core themes of the series is a critique of self-reliant survivalism. community is everything. you can be a hunter alone, but bread REQUIRES community: farmer, miller... baker.
also gale killed her little sister lol.
