*asks a question* *gets an answer* “im not reading that”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i love that it’s a carefully worded, well-written, non-inflammatory answer too. which asker wouldn’t know because they won’t read it. i love website

[cheaphalloweencostume]

you are not going to believe what they did with Books

"A wall of text" baby that's a curb at best

the other day I read a compelling point that many instances described as illiteracy would actually be more aptly described as aliteracy, meaning an individual has the ability to read but simply chooses not to. great example here, awesome work.

Animatic with song from Hamilton in big 2026

[lastivkaa]

TADC checkmate animatic ;)

Not finished, and probably never will be

languages that don't distinguish between formal and informal you are missing out on so much petty drama. my grandparents have two neighbours who once got into a huge fight over something honestly pretty trivial, so neighbour A said he was going to revoke neighbour B's du (informal you) privileges. neighbour B was like "okay but can i use du one last time?" and neighbour A was like "yeah go ahead", and neighbour B said "du arschloch" (you asshole). incredible.

Sometimes I'll catch myself saying something like "yeah, we had only two ballistics flying over us that night, so I was able to catch enough sleep :)" and then think.... Why the fuck I'm not freaking out more about that. WHERE in the world it's normalized to integrate being genocided in a fucking war into your daily routine? And also you have to balance it with your work and social life?

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

FUCK it’s even worse, Mark said HE will get out of the Blood Ocean and curl up in Ryan’s arms, I cannot—

[creativity-deficient]

Hot take but, I don’t know why some people act like Remus absolutely can NOT be a more complex character while also just simply being a little shit whose thrives off of chaos for fun? I see so many takes that just boil down to “Remus isn’t a deep character and doesn’t have any motivation for doing what he does” but I feel like that’s been implied to not be entirely true?? Episodes like DWIT and WTIT suggest that he does feel at least SOME sense resentment/anger over being ignored/shut out, and part of the reason he acts out in the way that he does is to make Thomas listen, like an unloved child throwing a tantrum to get their parent’s attention. However, at the same time, he is also the representation of Thomas’s darker thoughts. The whole concept of his character is built around chaos and being the embodiment of such. In other words, I think he can also just simply be a freak who just does what he does for the love of the game also. The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

[edupunkn00b]

You. Are. Right.

And let's not forget Thomas' actual words after this:

"Separate from… that, I ALSO want to pursue something romantic with Nico, and I can't answer you in regards to what I have to gain from it."

(emphasis added)

Janus couldn't mute him and Thomas didn't deny he spoke the truth.

There's so, so much more to Remus than just dick jokes and eating bugs.

being sick is so funny cause I'll see a post abt ryland grace being dumb or slimeknight ruining my life or virgil sanders being an absolute diva on my dash and will break out in a coughing fit

is it laughter? is it tears? is it the screams of the damned attempting an escape?

we don't know, but it sure was fun!

Fic idea: The "there was only one bed" trope, but this is a LAMP, and they're just trying to understand how da fuck it would even work

[asprinisnotacatch-all]

I wrote a lil something. Just a bit. A little small thing. It's not done yet.

Snippets, in order but taken out of context.

They are pining, your honor.

Sure the LAMP is established, but there's still work to be done...

[lastivkaa]

The thing I’m most annoyed at myself for is that my friends recommended WHA to me a couple of years ago, but I thought it was just going to be some fantasy slice of life, so I decided not to read it. And now the anime came out. And now I know that ALL I had to do back then was BORROW THE FIRST VOLUME, and I would’ve realized how wrong I was. BUT NOOOO, I DIDN’T

[lastivkaa]

And NOW I don’t want to be part of the fandom because I feel UNCOMFORTABLE creating stuff for big active fandoms.

I usually either stick to small fandoms, fandoms I’ve been in since the beginning, or ones everyone forgot about years ago
