So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.

*plus even outside the lowest incomes or the most heat-intensive manual jobs, things like home ownership rates are also correlated with ethnicity [UK stats as example] and a) a lot of rental tenants are prohibited from having anything except free-standing devices even if they can afford them and b) window AC units are not compatible with a lot of building windows in the UK (casement has long been much commoner than sash) and afaik many other European countries, because they were never built with them in mind. Because this is 15-20•c hotter than summer temperatures at the time they were built. Because of that whole global climate crisis.

This article on housing in Paris was a rough read, and most (possibly all, idk) of the Parisians quoted were Black or North African French, who are in fact a large, long-standing and important part of the population. This really should not be news to anyone.

"Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A's word for thing. Say, what do you call it?"

[item] the way [culture] makes it. 

If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept. 

Say hello to Ley!

if you're learning HTML for any reason, i can't recommend HTML for people highly enough. it's a fantastic introduction to HTML and CSS targeted towards beginners who aren't technically inclined, and it isn't patronizing towards the reader for that. it's a very relaxed and kind (but informative) resource that even i reference from time to time (and i consider myself pretty good with semantic HTML).

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

Another fanart based off @patheticwhitemenlover 's Dancing in the Moonlight Waterboy x reader fic .... Specifically from a scene in Part 3 ^^

If he hasn't yet come into possession of the Ring, then he's basically an ordinary hobbit, without any especial investigative or deceptive skills. His best hope is to not be seen as a threat, but I think he's in the unfortunate range where he's smart enough to be considered "potentially dangerous" but not smart enough to have a reasonable chance of finding Kira.

WITH the Ring in his possession, I'd say he's actually in even MORE danger, because the Ring is actively trying to get him killed so it can pass to someone more easily swayed. (I'm willing to argue that the Ring COULD make someone immune to the Note if it so wished; but it very much does not wish that here.) He might be able to vaguely sense Ryuk's presence, and he could certainly SEE Ryuk while wearing the Ring, but that just makes him more of a threat.

AFTER the whole Ring Shenanigans... the boy has Seen Some Shit, so I can picture him intuiting how the Note works, but he's also suffering a depression debuff, and still hasn't developed investigative skills.
