In my dnd game, we need to revive an ocean goddess for Reasons. Great. Except that the ocean goddess has a grudge against one of our characters and will most likely kill them. Not so great.

Our plan is to kill said character ourselves, and revive them when we are away from the ocean

We haven't told our DM this

We are gonna probably be springing this on her tonight

If we get that far I will give an update

“Death is a rare mercy” Alright folks, time to add a new quote to the list of things that go hard and sound like they’re from classic lit, but actually come from unexpected places

Once again, Tumblr manages to succeed via just being honest with their users.

I made a post back around April fool's about the crabs being so popular because the joke was that every other website tries to trick you into clicking things so they can make money from your clicks and what if instead a website just asked "please click this revenue generating crab. It is there to generate revenue. In return you will have clicked on a crab. Nothing more." And the answer to that question was "people will frantically click on that crab. They don't hate the idea of the website getting money, they hate the idea of being profited on against their will".

So Tumblr implemented actual revenue crabs. "For this much money you can fill your or someone else's dash with virtual crabs. This will have the effect of there being crabs on their screen."

And people will buy those crabs. Because yes you're spending money on something stupid and useless but it's being sold to you as "hey you want something stupid and useless?", which is a nice change of pace from every other site trying to make itself out to be something more than what it is.

Twitter is floundering with the checkmark system because it's being sold as "confirm that you are someone important and who you say you are is true", which it isn't at all right now because anyone can buy one. You're buying a useless checkmark that only says that YOU think you're important. Or, more often than not right now, you are intending to trick other people into thinking you're someone you're not.

Meanwhile, Tumblr just said "Consider this double check mark. It does nothing. You will be marking yourself as someone who paid money for a meaningless checkmark and sometimes it will randomly turn into a bunch of crabs, making the site harder to use". And the userbase is like "Well sure, that sounds delightful."

The point is, despite what all the marketing and advertising people have tried to say, painting trash gold and trying to pass it off as something better is almost never as effective as just saying "hey you want this trash?"

Why yes, in fact, I do.

Reminder that the Australian Government okayed the destruction of two 46'000 year old Aboriginal caves for iron ore.

One of the world's earliest human settlements destroyed forever for a profit.

ok I knew Jaskier was a master of the seven liberal arts but I had no idea what they actually were until I looked them up and wouldn’t u know it, astronomy is one of them, which encompasses navigation, mathematics and actual physics. Now I’m laughing at this thought:

Some mage who Geralt got hired to kill a monster or smth for idk: damn this equation I’m doing for a spell isn’t working

Jaskier, a bard who the mage saw being yelled at by Geralt earlier because he tried to fuck the Lord’s son and nearly succeeded: that’s because you’re doing it wrong lol

Mage: you are literally a bard wdym

Jaskier, a bard who has the equivalent of a physics masters degree: yeah and

[marciaillust]

curious. anyway,

Books are being banned and removed from library shelves. This is a very bad thing. I was one of the authors who protested. I would have protested even if my book hadn't have been one of the books banned.

Missouri book bans include graphic adaptations of the Bible and the Gettysburg Address, as well as Art Spiegelman's Maus and Margaret Atwood

[ainthatjusthewayy]

There's also a new bad thing going on for Missouri libraries. I took this from St. Charles County Libraries' website to explain it:

--

Missouri’s Secretary of State is proposing a new administrative rule that would require libraries to “institute measures to protect minors from non-age-appropriate materials” in order to receive state funding. Parents or guardians would have the right to challenge a library’s age-appropriate designation for any material. A 30-day window for public input opens November 15; we urge our community and state to review the measure. Read our statement and learn how you can respond.

--

Please, please, follow the website link and send an email saying this is wrong and unnecessary!

https://www.stchlibrary.org/title-15CRS

[neil-gaiman]

Definitely go and read the link. It's eye-opening.

[superliz6]

Adding how you can help prevent this:

Public comment period opened Tuesday. PLEASE send a quick comment to:

[email protected] and let Missouri’s Secretary of State know you OPPOSE a ban on books in public libraries. You must include 15 CSR 30-200.015 in the subject field.

I was nervous about cutting most of my hair off even though I've done it countless times, and I finally found a way to "style" it that doesn't look bad but is also out of my eyes 😂
