some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

N*tworking: hey we need 6 tvs off the wall and then back up on the same day

Us: sure thing

Us: hey someone accidentally unplugged a patch cable that actually needs to stay plugged in, can you fix that real quick? We don't have access or we'd do it ourselves.

N*tworking: oh my god??? How could you request something so unreasonable??? I just don't understand how you could expect us to do something like that without personally kissing our feet??? Why do you even need this anyway????? Did your stuff even work before we disconnected it??????

Non-sarcastic version: they are trying to insist that I schedule a meeting with them to discuss the possibility of reconnecting the patch cable. I'm just like... Put the cable in the port, bro. I genuinely don't understand how they get anything done this way.

I tried to tactfully get out of the meeting and their response was "I'm available to meet you at x time" so I'm gonna meet them soon and find out why the fuck they need a special meeting to plug in a cable.

The meeting went well, I thought! We had a whole conversation about how I just needed a patch cable to connect the two ports together. We were on the same page. He said it would be done by the end of the day.

Then he gave one floor port network access, declared victory, and left for the day.

THAT'S NOT EVEN REMOTELY WHAT I ASKED FOR.

Update: they still have not worked out the complexities of plugging in a patch cable. Hope they figure that out because I'm gonna spend the next month plugging in about 100 different cables, including patch cables, but it'll be mostly carrying a/v signals which means my department doesn't know anything about tech.

There's also some amount of programming involved but that just makes us even bigger idiots because if we were smart we would be using AI for that (it's a proprietary node-based language with all the documentation locked behind a massive paywall but sure)

I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)

the mane 6!! all of them!!

hometoursandotherstuff

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

you should have seen me a couple of years ago!

if I was matt murdock and I found out the same chemical spill that blinded me and lit the world on “fire” turned a bunch of turtles into pizza loving ninjas I would lose it actually

I’m not going lie the thought of matt finding out he’s radioactive ooze brothers with this particular version of the tmnt has me in tears

matt, trying to recount his childhood and ignore the smell of turtle, three day old pizza, and sewer: …..so yah, after my dad died I was basically on my own.

the turtles, already planning on buying their radioactive waste brother a shirt that says “I fell in radioactive waste and all I got was these glasses”: cowabummer dude. our dad’s a rat

anachronistique

idk he looks like he's come to terms with it

123movies & putlocker provide more for the people of this country than the army has ever

At least the army doesn’t take the money creators could have made. And is also not stealing anyone’s content. ^^

they kill people

do you ever find something that is so funny and you want to share it with everyone but it also requires 18 layers of context spanning things like. 90s anime. aviation history. europop. canada. in order to even remotely understand why it is so funny

in the late 90s there was an anime called initial d which was all about street racing and drifting. naturally every single drift was played for great drama and excitement.

in 1999, an italian named giancarlo pasquini released a europop song under the alias dave rogers called Deja Vu. this song was picked up as the theme song for the above anime. it in turn became a meme, a shorthand for drifting and Cool Moves as a concept.

in 1983, air canada flight 143, a full sized 767, ran out of fuel halfway to edmonton, alberta. this is not something you want to have happen to a huge airplane. the flight chose to try and make an emergency landing at a nearby decomissioned airforce base (as they were falling fast and could not make it to a proper airport), where they ran into a second problem: they were falling out of the sky at 500 feet per mile, but reached gimli (the base in question) while still too high to safely land. normally a plane would just do a big loop-de-loop to lose altitude, but they had maybe three minutes of airtime left before they hit the ground: not enough time to make any kind of circle. the pilot, therefore, decided to execute a side slip to lose speed and altitude. this is Not a move you want to do with a massive 767, because airplanes are not built for that and if you screw it up that plane is hitting the ground at a high speed at a weird angle and breaking into a million pieces. nevertheless, the captain tried it... and succeeded. the plane landed perfectly, and there were no major injuries! (a couple of people did get minor injuries when evacuating the plane after.) he did it so well, in fact, that the plane was refueled, flown out of gimli a couple days later, and continued to fly for another 20 years with the nickname "Gimli Glider."

what is a side-slip, you ask?

it's drifting.

the guy goddamn drifted his 767.

in 2008, the tv show Mayday: Air Disaster featured the gimli glider with full reenactments as an episode on season five of their show.

and so, in conclusion, the thing i have been giggling to myself about all weekend:

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

Damn, isn't that basically the same thing they did to math, too?
