Would you beat your current phone/computer wallpaper in a 1v1 fight?
I would pound their ass immediately.
I would, but I choose not too (for moral reasons).
Fair chances on both.
I would be the one getting slimed.
…what.
*you have to provide an image
I have that picture of Christina Koch with her hair braided looking at Earth.. I'm 100% losing a 1v1. Also, I'd never do that, I love Christina so much 😭😭
You are trying to move into an apartment with your favorite Pokemon. The building is strict about which Pokemon are allowed inside but it’s super affordable. How hard do you think it will be to convince the landlord to let you keep it in the building?
Easy as can be, perfect apartment dweller
Might take some convincing
Basically a coin flip
It will be an uphill battle but I might be able to, while saying goodbye to my deposit
No increased rent, deposit or argument could convince any landlord to let us in

I am the landlord/other/results
Okay so I don't think the landlord wants Giratina inside my apartment. I will admit a certain skepticism myself as to Giratina's ability to fit inside the apartment. However, if Giratina wants to be in my apartment I don't think there's anything my landlord or I can do to stop this from happening, and surely the merciful and the sensible option is to refrain from even trying.
Snom and I will be fine.
Y'all... my political statistics final is 2.5 hours. Why TF is any final, let alone a statistics one, 2.5 hours? I'm going to die.
My final is over. I'm tired. It was exhausting.
I'm going to play Tomodachi Life until I have to take tomorrow's final (Public Health Equity). Then the semester will be over and I can breathe.
You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.
Here’s my logic:
You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours
These tags are hilarious even though I don’t think you intended them to be.
*pulls European closer* The most populous countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil in that order, with these seven nations alone making up 48.16% of the world population. You may note with the aid of a map that many of these nations are quite large, and would take several days of travel to go across either in cars or on boats. Almost half of the world's population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country. Your worldview is limited and Europe is a tiny outlier in travel time and standards for international relations.
In May, my wife and I are going by train from Chicago to Seattle and that's a two day ride. We still have a 6 hour drive to get from Columbus to to Chicago before the train ride even begins.... We're doing the same train ride and car ride back, btw.

You can also click on them to see where they're located. So that was fun too.

Tips for Writing Accents & Languages!
As someone who grew up bilingual and has spent years watching fiction handle this with the grace of a person trying to parallel park a cruise ship: please. i am asking nicely. stop phonetically spelling out accents in dialogue. stop having your multilingual character "think in english." and stop treating languages as cute flavour when they're actually load-bearing walls. let me explain:
⊹ Phonetic accent spelling-- "ze said zis," "I canna doo eet," "ees very 'ot"--does not convey an accent. it conveys that you find the accent hard to read and mildly comedic. actual accents are not misspellings. they are specific music, rhythm, stress patterns, vowel shapes that cannot be represented in text that way. what conveys accent is word order, idiom, the things a speaker reaches for. A character who says "it doesn't matter, leave it" and a character who says "never mind, let it go" are from different places. use that. not the apostrophes.
⊹ Multilingual people do not experience their languages as separate filing cabinets they access one at a time. languages blur and overlap and interfere with each other in beautiful ways. When you're tired you reach for the word from the other language because it's closer. when you're emotional you revert to your first language because it's where your feelings actually live. when you're angry you swear in the language you learned swearing in. when you're tender you use the diminutives and endearments that don't translate. your bilingual character's language choice in every scene is characterisation. use it as such.
⊹ the thing about not having a word for something is real and it matters. Every language has concepts the others can't carry cleanly. the grief for something you never had. the specific quality of afternoon light. the feeling of wanting to be home while you're already there. when your character encounters something their language doesn't have a word for, they don't just find a workaround, they feel the gap. they feel slightly untranslatable. multilingual people live with the knowledge that some part of who they are exists only in one language and cannot be fully brought across.
⊹ Language loss is grief and almost no one writes it. immigrants who stop speaking their first language regularly lose fluency within a generation, not the language itself but the ease of it, the poetry of it, the ability to joke in it. your character might understand everything their grandmother says and be unable to reply with the same grace. they reach for a word and find a hole. they dream in a language they can no longer speak fluently while awake. the untended first language going quiet is a whole kind of mourning and fiction almost never touches it.
I was born in FL, raised in KY. But thanks to my grandpa, who refused to let the language die, my first language is Irish.
My aunts and uncles didnt want to learn it, I dont talk to my mother, and my sister has basically all forgotten it. My grandparents have long passed and it seems like the only way I remember the language is by watching YouTube videos of people talking.
The amount of times I've cried just trying to think of the words responding to those videos and sometimes getting it right and sometimes getting it wrong..
You know what I've come to realize now that s2 is over? From watching/reading people's takes on Santos and Langdon and how y'all demonize him and love her or love him but demonize her..
Everyone is Ogilvie. Everyone who demonized Langdon for being and addict and wanted him to out himself to his colleagues or be in prison is just as heartless as Ogilvie. Everyone who hates Santos for being judgy of stupid people (as someone who is trying to help those same stupid people) and wants her to keep hurting herself and is just as heartless as Ogilvie.
And y'all hate on Ogilvie so much for being "evil" but you literally are him.
I just wanted to say that sometimes the word you're looking for is just ✨lying✨. You're allowed to be upset that someone just plain old lied to you. You don't have to call it gaslighting or manipulation or whatever the fuck, just call it lying and that's enough. It was a ✨lie✨. Not everyone is an evil genius playing mind games, sometimes they're an asshole lying to you.
Y'all.. I got full points for this question for answering
"I know this class allows AI for one question only, however I am staunchly anti-AI and am not willing to use it to look up something I dont know. I looked through my notes and the text and could not pinpoint what formula to use for the question."
I SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN POINTS FOR THAT ANSWER. I DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. I GAVE NO FORMULA. BUT BECAUSE I DIDNT USE AI, I GOT FULL CREDIT.
Hello to writers I've been liking fics on.. it's my mental note to reblog later. I'm going to, I promise.
This semester ends in two weeks and it's kicking my ass. I'll mass reblog everything then, just give me time 😭😭
reblog this n tag it w how tall u r im curious
I went to TikTok for the first time in almost a year specifically for Artemis 2 videos and I ended up seeing the most brain dead takes on the Pitt.
Open the schools. Truly.
Me because I got to witness a major historic event but it was a Good One for once
Copy, moon joy!
pitt fans when the show about healthcare worker burnout is about healthcare worker burnout 😱😱🤯🤯
"we get it!! robby's sad!!!" do you, though? do you get it? do you understand that this show is showing burnout through the lens of Robby? that we see Robby so much and we see his entire deterioration because we are seeing what burnout and PTSD and depression and suicidality look like in healthcare workers? do you understand that that's important to see?
do you understand that it's touching so many people with the same issues who don't even work in healthcare? do you understand how gritty and raw and realistic this portrayal is? do you understand how much that means to people, after seeing mental health softened or romanticized in almost every piece of media? do you get it?
I don't think you fucking do. this isn't just "Robby is depressed, we get it 🙄" it's showing the entire scope on purpose. we are following that journey on purpose. the deterioration, the ugliness, and then eventually the healing. that's the story that started being told in s1ep1, whether you like it or not. if you don't like it, don't watch the goddamn show. no one is forcing you.
This show is clearly "baby's first fandom" to a lot of people and "baby's first we-cant-binge-watch-to-have-all-the-answers" and it shows. The lack of compassion because "oh no, Robby's being mean to my favorite" is wild. Saying that you hope he dies because of his mommy issues is wild.
I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it
I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.
