we’re all nerds here

welcome to my blog im annoying

Let’s stalk a diamond mining ghost town with mama

Someone recommended learning to DNF because “you can only read a maximum of around 4000 books in your lifetime” which is fair advice but what is that number. Who invented that number. There is NO way to calculate how many books it’s possible to read in a lifetime but that number is obviously too small

puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.

My life has gotten measurably better since I reframed the period from 3-4 pm as “puttering hour”. No it’s not me avoiding work or failing to force myself to concentrate during my mid afternoon slump. It’s puttering hour.

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

Additional reminder that this kind of self censorship makes it harder for people to block content they do not want to see.

No, they gotta eat. That is the point of all these. Crumb is ant food. Web provide food, like job provide money. worm eat dirt. Flies are weird.

i just asked every scientist and they all said that you arent true here and thats not correct. i dont tolerate disinformations on my page. they do these things for no reason, and thats fine. we love all of them anyways because they are beautiful in their own yucky & terriblw way

So flies aren't weird?

theyre worthless animals which is lovely

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

Schism? Schism today?

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

TRAGEDY: every member of a once-flourishing group chat is now employed

doing my degree in folklore and ppl will ask "oh, what is your thesis about" and i'm like "i'm about to tell you a bunch of stuff but first and foremost i'm not going to call any of it folklore because that's an extremely loaded term and depending on the context, culture, and people, it can be considered dismissive at best or even outrageously derogatory." and they're like "but the degree is called Folklore. When is it folklore?" and I just have to be like well that shit depends.

i think i could phrase this better. "i'm not gonna call it folklore bc some people don't like that word" makes it sound like the nuance ends at the word itself and that i avoid the use as a simple platitude when in fact it is much deeper than that. but i suppose i don't have the ability to articulate it at 10:36 pm on a Monday. surprising.

not even joking this is one of the worst possible changes that i could've reasonably conceived of to happen to video games.
