If Pokemon were real what would your occupation be

Pokemon trainer! I wanna be the very best! (gym leaders count go too)

I'd train my pokemon for contests!

I'd be on one of the evil teams muahahaha (tell me which one in the tags!)

POKEMON CONCIERGE LIKE THE TV SHOW! (or something similar)

Pokemon connoisseur! (professional trainer/pokemon vibe checker look it up)

Pokemon doctor! (nurse joy type shit)

Pokemon breeder! (like Brock)

Pokemon professor!

I'd have some other pokemon specific job (making pokeballs or potions, etc.)

I'd have my real world dream job but I'd just have a weird fucking dog.

Something else not listed here (tell me in the tags!)

This is hard...I wanna say I'd be a trainer but I'd probably still try to make video games and art. My partner would be a squirtle :)

Let me know what partner you'd have too!!

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong. -When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered. -They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane. -As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need. -Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”

Is it ok to take notes in the margins of library books?

No, because it's rude to other readers.

No, because it can damage the book.

No, because it's never ok to take notes in the margins of books.

Yes, because I need to take notes understand what I'm reading.

Yes, because it enhances the experience for other readers.

Yes, because if it bothers other readers, they should just buy their own copy.

No (some other reason - please put tags)

Yes (some other reason - please put in tags)

I have very strong opinions on this subject, and I'm curious how others feel.

Hi, public librarian (lower case l, no degree) here, please don't.

We're already, in general, severely underfunded. Shocker, the capitalist hellscape we're stuck isn't great about allocating county budget to such a socialist outlet.

When you write in the margins, that's considered damage, and we just do not have the funding to replace every book we have to weed for damage.

Use sticky notes. Please. Write your margin notes on sticky notes in the book. You can even keep your place that way. But please please please don't write in the books, don't crack the spines, and don't dog ear them. That's just going to force us to weed them, and we can't always replace them.

[elfgrove]

#we flip through every book that comes in the drop off to see if the pages are loose torn damaged or written on #and we're supposed to set aside all of those for checking by collections #to see if its severe enough to warrant weeding #and frankly as the budget gets tighter i know im not the only one turning a blind eye to some damage #because i know we wouldnt be able to replace it anyway #better to let it slide til it gets worse #but its a serious problem

Apple folk: Do not reblog just to make the same unfunny joke about how Android Users Are So Annoying. You are not a comedian, and your 'jokes' are the reason this poll exists.

If you use Apple, do NOT vote for "third option."

I understand that this isn't a black-and-white issue in most countries, but I live in the US and am surrounded Annoying People so here's a poll.

I use an Android because:

Cheaper than Apple

More intuitive than Apple

Apple is hype-driven and I'm not about that

Resisting the non-compatibility that Apple is trying to force on everyone

More repairable/durable than Apple [caveat: many companies, some are/aren't]

Late to the bandwagon, and now staying off it out of spite for Pushy Apple Users

If I have to choose a monopoly, I'm going with the lesser evil (still shitty)

More data-secure than Apple

Apple is the reason apps are so restrictive about Adult Content

I live somewhere with a third option (fuck Apple and fuck Google Android too)

If you use an Apple then do not vote, just wait for the poll to be over... or vote for why you would switch if you had the choice. Don't vote for 'third option' just because.

(I actually was going to include "I use Apple Because I'm A Sheep who fell for the marketing/hype and now can't leave" but there were only ten options.)

This is an open secret at this point, everybody who works in the entertainment industry can tell you the execs literally, outright say they do not want original properties anymore. With a new property you have to spend the time and money getting people invested. If you make the 34785th remake and staple some nostalgia on it for good measure, you'll make bank because there's already a dedicated group of people to market to. People will watch it if it's good, because it's a revival of something they care about. People will REALLY watch it if it's bad, because hatewatching is almost even more profitable in this day and age. It's all about getting the biggest return for the smallest financial investment, and nostalgia is MUCH more profitable than original projects. It's all corporate bullshit in the end.

So anyway, please support the originals who make it in spite of everything, and please especially support independent creators and projects!
