Got Termed :/

gentle reminder that if u feel hungry soon after eating, it might be bc you’re eating mostly carbs without adding enough protein. try eating a handful of nuts or smthing alongside your next meal.

and you don’t have to change the recipe or anything! you can eat what you were going to, just add some cheese cubes or a handful of nuts or salami slices on the side. u don’t have to change your meals, just add a little extra protein

thats nice but what do I need to do If I wake up around 3 am every other night with an unquenchable hunger for flesh even tho I ate normal balanced meals trough the day?

my local library doesn't have a maximum book checkout limit and I am about to make them regret this

update: I checked out 36 books & put in hold requests for 26 more. the librarian who checked me out didn't even flinched, just said it's "nice to see more people reading." these people are fucking bonkers please quadruple local library budgets

There is precisely one situation in which librarians hate you for checking out a lot of books. It’s when you wait until the library is closing and haul up a huge load of stuff to check out, so everybody has to wait to go home. Otherwise? Librarians love to see you check stuff out. Heck, grab a few things on your way to the checkout desk that you don’t even want, that’s great. Higher circulation justifies higher budgets.

This is Very Good Info to know!!!

Movie about a depressed and rather morbid autistic man planning to commit suicide and picking up a number of odd jobs in an effort to raise enough money to meticulously plan and prepay for his funeral so his mother doesn’t have to worry about it after he is gone. He begins to connect with people and enjoy life for the first time while working part time as a greeter in the funeral home, helping an eccentric old lady organize her basement, walking 7 dogs and maintaining a feral cat colony for a guy with a broken foot, playing a number of bit parts in local ads and stocking the shelves at the convenience store at night. In the end, he has befriended many of his neighbors and he decides he does not want to die and goes back to school to become a funeral director instead.

He is popular at his funeral home gig because he keeps accidentally saying things that are very reassuring and death positive. Because he wants to die. He eventually donates his funeral fund to the old lady’s granddaughter after her sudden death so she does not have to sell her grandmother’s prized possessions to pay for her funeral.

The old lady gifts him one of her ceramic cats at the beginning of the film which he reluctantly accepts out of politeness. Near the end of the film, he adopts a friendly cat from the cat colony that looks remarkably like the ceramic cat and names it after her, signaling his commitment to surviving and caring for his cat the way the old woman lived for her ceramic collection.

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

This is going to sound so stupid but as someone from a subtropical area, I struggle to fathom the climate of Britain. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the climate of southern Wales. What do you mean the temperature is usually between 34°f and 66°f? The record low is only -9.9°f and the record high is 98°f? I’m from a place where it is usually between 30° f and 90°f, the record low is -34°f and the record high is 110°f. My brain cannot comprehend the idea of a place that isn’t freezing in the winter and sweltering in the summer. No life threatening temperature seesaw? No tornadoes? No hail?

It just rains, mists and drizzles? Theres a little snow sometimes?

“What’s the weather like there?” “None, really.”

The Gulf Stream is the only thing making the UK liveable and once it's gone we're fucked

It is wild that modern humans began consistently inhabiting Britain around 12,000 years ago after the last Ice Age and modern humans began inhabiting Australia about 65,000 years ago and North America around 30,000 years ago. Britain was an uninhabitable sheet of ice until relatively recently in terms of human history and people have been fighting the weather and wildlife of Australia and the Americas far longer.

Alan Turing and Ada of Lovelace did not invent computer science for the girls and the gays to claim they can't do math
