care about other people. i am no longer asking

[mylordshesacactus]

For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )

[mylordshesacactus]

"Delete all the nudes and sexts after a breakup or you're a piece of shit" has been the standard expectation since EIGHT. TEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE.

[mylordshesacactus]

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

Anyway I was wrong the publishing date is actually 1882 so like.

[mylordshesacactus]

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."

So like @ the modern Republican party, are the "traditional family values" in the fucking room with us right now--

The Estate's Secret The Earth's Champion

[hunter-rodrigez]

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

FMA is great because every antagonist always says something like "We're the same" to Ed, and everytime Ed's like "No??? I wanted to see my mom's smile again. You are trying to commit genocide."

lmao project runway season 12 has a guy with a cochlear implant and he said he’s not worried about anyone getting on his nerves because if they start he’ll just turn the device off.

Some other guys got into a screaming match and this guy stayed true to his word

just tried to reference the xkcd "today's lucky 10,000" comic but I wanted to explain xkcd first, so I was like "you probably know the one about experts in the field overestimating their audience's familiarity with the subject matter" and uh. he didn't. love me some irony

In Rise of the Guardians, Jack Frost has the obvious power to create and control snow and ice. But he can also magically lift people’s spirits. Through an enchanted snowball (or at least that’s his preferred method), he subconsciously influences them to relax and have fun. It works on people who don’t believe in him, as Cupcake shows. It isn’t mind control; it just encourages you to lighten up a bit, embrace your playful side. Put your worries and doubts aside. Enjoy the moment and the company of others.

This power reflects a core value Jack holds: that joy is intrinsically valuable, worthwhile and can fight fear and despair. One of his greatest strengths is his kindness and how it intertwines with his fun-loving attitude. Despite being invisible and intangible to all human beings, having no reason to care about anyone else when nobody cares about him, he has spent centuries doing more than bringing cold, often unpleasant and harmful weather and entertaining himself. No, he routinely, thanklessly goes out of his way to brighten people’s days. Both because of selfless compassion and because it helps him feel a sense of emotional connection. Even if he can do nothing but watch, he’d rather watch happiness. He wants to cheer people up, make them laugh and see them bond with each other, no matter how dark and bleak it is. Even though it never lasts.

So, in this timeline. Where Jack has been around, using his magic as he sees fit, for three hundred years. All over the world. Do you think that the 1914 Christmas truce -

pokémon evolution chains we need

[science-whore]

Some important additions:

[surfingpichu]

Because it's impossible for me not to chime in I wanted to add that glitch pokemon evolutions in Gen 1 are also just on another level.

I present to you: Every single one of these which is possible to achieve in a Gen 1 game

[science-whore]

Could you give me the names of those glitch Pokémon 👀

[surfingpichu]

Oh heck yes

The first one of these is actually a TON of different lines but here are some examples:

Things like to evolve into Clefairy idk

An example of the second:

Many Paths, One destination:

Skipping right to the end

And whatever the heck all this is

Thank you for your time please go fourth and make your game throw up pokemon.

[science-whore]

Oh god. Now I want to chart all of them.

Is there a dedicated glitch wiki, or did you pull those from Bulba?

[surfingpichu]

These were from Bulbapedia but there IS a dedicated Glitch pokemon Wiki over here

It's an archive based on Glitch City Labs which was unfortunately shut down in 2020. Still a great resource for learning about any and all things Glitch Pokemon.

[science-whore]

Oh my god. A dedicated wiki. It makes me so happy not to have to run into Fandom’s bullshit 😭

[surfingpichu]

Believe it or not, it was even better when it was a dedicated site. I knew the guy who ran it a long time ago through a forum actually. Really cool dude. Sad to see the site go, but it's understandable.

[science-whore]

You’re breaking me, man

[surfingpichu]

I'm just so proud to watch another person go off the deep end into this.

This is exactly what I hoped to inspire.

[science-whore]

Absolutely deranged.

[surfingpichu]

Is it not a thing of beauty? Is this not exactly what you asked for?

I'm absolutely cackling this is amazing. Thank you for making this, you're doing the lords work.
