My toxic trait is that if I find a product I like I want to keep using the same product forever. It's not even brand loyalty. It's called stop changing and discontinuing everything.

Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

These days, lots of public libraries have a "library of things" collection where you can check out kitchen appliances or yard tools or toys, and, as a children's library assistant, the most popular library of things item that I handle regularly is a plastic scepter thingy called like "unicorn princess magic wand". And whenever I check it out I make a big show of looking at the little kid and being like "do you solemnly swear to use your unicorn princess magic powers only for good and never for evil?"

And pretty much without fail, the little kid will get the world's most mischievous grin and go "I'm gonna use it for EVIL!!!"

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.

taps a big sign that says “romance novels have different style conventions and goals than literary fiction and they also exist in a publishing market that works entirely differently, which is particularly true for niche market novels, and it is unfair and also does not work to judge and also is deeply informed by misogyny to judge romance novels by the rubric of literary fiction.”

Okay but… this happened so often they had a rubber stamp to stamp “HAUNTED” on it?

The “REMOVED FROM CIRCULATION:” stamp is probably one, and the “HAUNTED” stamp would be a second one I suppose but… seriously?

After following the links, I think that this is part of an ongoing Art Project: the artists had custom stamps made, finds likely-looking tattered books at used book stores and such, stamps them, and sells them -- again, as Art Projects, not actual artifacts.

They also have several examples with this stamp, which is a bit more overtly An Artistic Statement:

I feel like a lot of people dont pick up on that: when youre texting with someone and they ask you a question theyre probably very much aware that they can simply google it. The reason theyre asking you instead is because they like talking with you and want you to explain it instead
