this might be kind of a reach but is there a way for printers to connect to devices so that documents can be printed from them

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

you are not immune to inventing an arbitrary set of rules that only you have to adhere to

IVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH MY FRIEND FOR LIKE A YEAR NOW AND IT TURNS OUT WE KNEW EACH OTHER AND WERE FRIENDS WITH EACH OTHER PRETRANSITION

we we’re talking about how we had a mutual friend and how that was so wild and then they mentioned another friend i knew and i was like “yeah i played soccer with them both in the park” and my friend was like “wait does your deadname start with a C” and it turns out she was also there and we just had no idea who each other was this entire time till now

This is fucking wild

This is half a plot for a modern Shakespearean comedy of errors.

Romcom where two people meet cute and bond over how awful their exes were and plan elaborate revenge schemes but it turns out they both transitioned and are helping to plan revenge plots against themselves

there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

The absolute contempt for these locks is palpable.

Oh we're all feeling this one aren't we?

and that much ado? it's about nothing

idk best part of count the rice is every time a player would make a joke in the grant room and thirty white guys would laugh uproariously no matter how good the joke was. truly so full of whimsy and joy

I love episodes of Game Changer where the only way to win is by learning & the only way to learn is by playing. With some episodes, like Don't Wake Standards & Practices, the overall flow of the game becomes pretty apparent pretty quickly, & also there's some surprises along the way. But then there's episodes like Count the Rice, Deja Vu, or Bingo, where the basic conceit of what the game even is is an ongoing mystery. I love that stuff.

sick of hearing about "healing crystals" that "cleanse your mind and body of negative energy" i want to know which rocks can hurt you and fuck up your vibe so bad

everyone suggesting uranium isn't wrong but anyone who said "literally any rock if you're willing to resort to violence" are the only people who can get on my level. you're hired.

caincore

okay which fandom that sprung up out of nowhere overnight like mushrooms after rain is this a reference to i can't keep up anymore

oh you meant like. that guy from the bible who invented murder. right.

FUCK YEAH.

Unironically, this is a great example of why the arts are just as important as everything else because they teach important skill sets that other fields of study usually don't. Empathy, presence, ethics, collaborative teamwork, how to compartmentalize parts of your life in a healthy way (being in-character vs being out-of-character + the aftermath, where you have to readjust and often do some self-care after an intense in-character experience), thinking in abstract or unconventional ways to problem-solve, getting to know yourself better through art and play---all of these things will make you better at other things. Just like knowledge in math or science or psychology (or whatever else) can give you inspiration or new skills for your art.
