My favorite part about burnout is how everyone thinks you're just being overdramatic when you say your body is physically shutting down due to the unnecessary stresses of life with little alleviation. Like dang lemme just tell my own buckling knees to pick themselves back up by the bootstraps we got more money to not make
when someone is completely fucking wrong about your blorbo but you don't want to argue about what basically boils down to opinions about shit that doesn't matter so you just sit there like
canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana
a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.
an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.
fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
these are all different words with different meanings.
Not to sound like a decrepit, rambling corpse about it, but back in my day Word used to be a pre installed program that came with your computer, if you were running Windows.
No subscription. Just program.
On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.
Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.
I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that
Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D
so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back
the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing
If you are a person who would walk into a blazing inferno for your animal, and your pet has free movement around the house, here’s a training exercise that could help save you both:
1) Set off your smoke alarm or play the sound on your phone (if your home has no smoke alarms, pease get some!)
2) stand BY THE FRONT DOOR to hand out treats
Do this a couple times and then keep it up NO EXCEPTIONS. Accidentally set the alarm off cooking? Treats by the door. Smoke alarm sound on TV? Treats by the door. Changing your smoke alarm batteries twice a year like you’re supposed to? Give them a test run and your pets get treats by the door.
Most dogs and cats will clue in VERY quickly that hearing that specific sound means go to the front door and wait for treats.
If there’s an emergency and even if you leave by another way, you will still know the most likely place your pet(s) is and can direct first responders to help.
You can also do this for any other kind of emergency alarm. My friend had both her cats trained to go to the front door for a tsunami siren.
hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.
The online obsession with "cringe" is an alt right pipe line that I refuse to fall victim to. If you cringe because of how I live and love that's a deficiency in your personality not mine my sweet anon
Also you're on fucking tumblr.com the millennial cringe general store like be so fucking for real right now
I'm imagining a language developed entirely within the universe of Minecraft. Like treating minecraft and its game mechanics as a world yknow. So there'd be no gendered pronouns, right? Because there is no biological sex within species, any two of the same mob can breed, all chickens lay eggs, there is no identifiable males or females in any way. I like to think that there would still be grammatical "gender" in the language, it'd just be based on a different wide grouping of characteristics that conveys important information. For example:
Grammatical genders of passive, neutral, and hostile. Like how they sort the mobs in-game. Cows, fish, villagers, all referred to with the passive pronoun. Zombies and stuff with hostile. Mobs like endermen and golems, you refer to with neutral by default, or if you're encountering a being you're not sure about the aggression levels of. Obviously, pigmen would have an entirely different language, being isolated in the nether, which would just make it more difficult to land on a pronoun for them, given their aggression levels vary so much. Like, what, you only refer to them with neutral pronouns if you're wearing gold? The cultural clashing there would be a lot.
And then, like languages in the real world that apply grammatical gender to EVERY noun, this categorization could be applied to objects as well. Fire is hostile. Trees are passive. You stub your toe on a block of cobble so you yell at the inanimate object with hostile pronouns, it attacked you! Refer to your friends with passive pronouns as a show of affection. Refer to yourself with hostile pronouns to convey you're gonna beat someone up. Options are limitless.
