just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

Still at the fucking restaurant and by restaurant I mean Yáo Li-Jie going into the coma and dying, still believing that his crew was there voluntarily. By restaurant I mean Olesya Ilyukhina believing she will get to teach her friend EVA stuff, getting put under thinking she will see Tau Ceti and be there to support the man who chose to sacrifice his life in less than three hours. By restaurant I mean Yáo thinking he will get to witness the discovery of their solution with his friends by his side. By restaurant I mean Grace waking up with two bodies next to him, terrified, light years away from home, and still deciding to give them proper funerals because he knew, instinctively, that he used to love those people and that they deserved better than rotting away on a spaceship denying them proper burial at home.

I think that life back home after Korea felt a lot like living in a Edward Hopper-painting to Margaret. Isolated, lonely. Like she was watching life go on around her, but couldn't really relate. The light harsh, angular, the shadows deep. The shapes and forms too, no more tents that moved in the wind, with the sound of other people constantly present, just massive, unmoving walls, looming, and waiting, just like her. Waiting for her real life to begin, for her to feel all the things she thought she would, to be swept up and embraced by the world she had chosen to live in.

(Automat, Morning Sun, Room in New York, Sunlight in a Cafeteria)

She would see her friends in strangers in the street. A bad posture, a big mustache, a bald head shining in the sun. Or friendly eyes in a wrinkly face, but they were only just echoes of the real people. Of her family. Her yellow sunrise-pillow she had carried back all across the world would look stupid on her new bed, so she'd throw it in a closet and try to forget it existed, try and stop making her new home remind her of her real one. A tent wasn't a real home anyway, it was stupid to think of it like that, stupid to long for it. She had chosen her new life, and she would get used to it, damn it, that's what a Houlihan did, they adapted. Even if the light was too harsh, the shadows too deep, and it felt like her back was always turned away from everyone else.

I'm usually lukewarm on "fandom + text posts" but the thing about M*A*S*H is that Hawkeye literally just talks like that. The posts will work for the other characters but so often I will see a post pinned on a screencap of Hawkeye and I can so clearly envision him saying the whole thing, with only minor edits for slang/cadence, if any in the first place. I don't know how to explain it if you haven't seen the show, but I know if you have you'll understand intuitively. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce was born to be a tumblrina and instead he was stuck in Korea a hundred years ago.

god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will

getting a content label stuck on a post that actually is mature is so frustrating because its like, ok, this is a suggestive image, i cant really appeal this. this is what the label is for. but the label ruins the fucking post because unless something has changed since the last time i checked, They Do Not Fucking Work. they are Useless. if this was a respectable site we would be allowed to use tags for people to filter but instead tagging is useless so our system is to just completely hide posts (or cover them under a Mystery Label that offers no insight into what the post actually is) from people who might actually want them bc they either didnt know to adjust their settings or bc they have mature posts hidden bc they dont want to see explicit graphic posts & are instead being blocked from like, a mildly suggestive picture

[moveslikekeithrichards]

you try to search for something cool like inflation but the tag is banned. result: nobody wants to tag their inflation with common tags that are both easy to search and easy to filter because then they wont be searchable. result: it becomes as difficult to block inflation from your dash as it is to search for it

you hide all mature posts regardless of content, as well as countless posts that are NOT mature, under a mystery curtain that gives little to no insight into what the post is. result: people may either choose not to uncover them and miss posts that they want to see, or they may click them and be met with something they didnt want at all. it becomes a complete unnecessary gamble

result: mature posts are both hidden from people who want to see them and accidentally shown to people who dont

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

Better Box Fan Air Purifier

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

[objectconstancy]

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

[ms-demeanor]

I've 100% replaced free acrobat with the firefox built-in and it works wonderfully for general office use and research/reading/viewing. It doesn't have robust redaction capabilities, but if you need to fill and sign and highlight a form it's actually much more intuitive than acrobat reader.
