Mr Boot do you HONESTLY need a better reason than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

[teaboot]

What, should he have waited before reporting a murder?

I tried to go out of my comfort zone with the colours with this one, but ultimately slid right back to my usual colour schemes. I just hate trying to do anything in muted natural colours, I guess.

Like dis?

Looking for recommendations

Hello people, I have taken a long break from reading consistently as it was replaced by doom scrolling, but I am trying to remove bad habits again and need suggestions of what to read!

I like:

-Fantasy/adventure in any context

-A good plot

I don't like:

-Super romancy books

-Excessive violence

-Unnecessarily complicated wording that detracts from my immersion

Some books I enjoy:

-Hunger Games

-Scythe

-The Great Library series

-The Morrigan Crow series

-The Lorian Legacies

Basically, I stopped reading around the end of sixth grade because all the elementary level books were too simple and sometimes childish, but teen books were unreliable on content I wanted to read.

Even though my knowledge doesn't go as deep into specific areas as some people on this site, I am always surprised when I say something and it isn't common knowledge like I think it is. Example: the other night I was talking to my father and had to stop to explain what chainmail was

It kills me inside when I think I have to act cold to protect myself knowing I'm the sweetest and clingiest soul you'd ever meet.

it kills me inside when i eat poison

As a vending machine restocker, I get to see all sorts of label changes that I question. The most recent? Landscape mode Cosmic Brownies. To make you feel extra big as you eat them.

"personalized ads target you specifically" and then we have primarily pro-AI ads on tumblr

[existingself]

Can anything be trusted anymore?

[pukicho]

Do you intend to usurp Toby Fox? Because you keep adding things to your skillset, I’m not sure anyone will be able to keep up.

Don't worry, no matter how good I get, someone can come in and call me a master of none and instantly own me

"jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one" (the full thing)

Cookies are relatively quick, easy and low-effort to make, at their best when they're fresh, and have so much shorter shelf life than any of their individual ingredients. It makes no sense from any angle to bake cookies that you aren't planning to eat, just to store them in case you need them, instead of simply baking a fresh batch when and only when you need one.

I think the whole concept of a cookie jar is just about manufacturing an opportunity in order to intentionally create crime.

[manorinthewoods]

you're RIGHT. I need to teach my hypothetical spawn how to be criminals by intentionally setting up opportunities for committing crimes, rewards for doing so, and mild punishments for being caught

[homunculus-argument]

Oh, I was viewing this from an angle far too narrow. I thought of the idea of setting up a temptation for crime only as a sadistic thing done by parents who want excuses to punish their kid. I should have also considered that one could do that as a method of training your kids for stealth missions.

[big-condiments-official]

sometimes there are also just leftover cookies

[homunculus-argument]

I openly question the baking skills of anyone who is capable of having "leftover cookies".

[questcult]

It might be stomach capacity they lack rather than baking skills.

[homunculus-argument]

If you can't eat your own weight in cookies in one go, natural selection is coming for you.

[existingself]

"Natural selection" coming for you in the form of cookie-jar-trained secret agent children.

Not sure if I'm the first to make this joke, but...
