i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did
You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette
i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.
Huge reason I refuse to buy a switch 2 at this point, but Nintendo has been pissing me off about this for years now.
I've had nintendo consoles my whole literally 30+ years of life. I remember when external memory cards were a thing and you could take your game and play exactly where you left off on any console you wanted. Now, you cannot transfer certain saves legitly between consoles. That's my data, I played those games completely legit, I should be able to transfer it to a new console. But when I try? It's lost. Hours of Pokemon Sword and Arcues erased because I tried to upgrade my gaming to an OLED model and nintendo is so fucking weird about people duplicating their pokemon data they'd rather fuck you over instead. I have my New Horizon island on my old switch and there's no way to move it to my new one. I've had the old switch since launch, once it dies that work is gone.
What about a MicroSD, you may ask? Yes I have one of those. I tried moving all my save data onto it and thought 'oh certainly I'll be able to move it this way' because how fucking useless and stupid would it be otherwise? But no, try to plug the microsd into the new switch with, again, my damn saved data and the new switch says "hey can't help but notice you've used this microsd on a different switch system already, we'll just have to reformat it before you can use it on this system. Cool? Cool."
Fuck that shit. Fuck Nintendo for managing to unintuitive-ify their systems. Fuck them for not even having the decency to make physical cartridges anymore.
Emulate and pirate. If they're not going to give you a product that lasts, make it last your own way. If they don't wanna change their stupid false scarcity ways to do anything about scalpers, take matters into your own hands. If they can't survive that, it's on their asses to fix their business practices.
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 was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.
Adding to this: please TELL ME if I share something that is genAI and you know it is. I want to know this information.
things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
move the pictures on your wall
stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
shower with the lights off, without music
buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night
listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015
Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!
The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!
This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!
ITS BACK!!!!!
god i fucking love the quote “dont turn yourself into a sad zoo animal” it has really inspired me!
y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything
and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general
sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever
casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting
it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.
sex is worthless to me
i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse
and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not
i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of
Posts that validate my identity
Sex as a form of intimacy? Understand. Intimacy as enjoyable? Understand. Intimacy as vital? Understand. Sex as vital? Does not compute
Oh my good god this!
It took a while to view sex in any sort of positive light and not just something that made me uncomfortable. Not to say I thought less of anyone who more naturally enjoyed or craved or appreciate it, it was just something I would try to avoid being anywhere near. And doing so getting into your twenties when the world around you felt so comfortable with it was a quick way to feel immature and childish. I'm glad I eased myself into the mental examination that lets me now view it as either a way for people to feel closer or really just an activity others find fun, both of which are valid. Even if I still would like nothing to do with either.
And even now I'm only recently learning how to utilize sex as a narrative tool in writing. And it has been twice the uphill climb with me threading the needle of my own comfort and sounding at all good, while also trying to parse how characters who would be allo would feel about any of it. Because I do not feel anything about sex specifically. I don't really get feeling horny about anything or anyone, hell I still feel like a poser when I call a person or character 'hot' because when I say they're hot I mean aesthetically pleasing or beautiful and plenty of other people say hot as in 'wanna hit that or imagine hitting that or would be down to hit something in the vein of that'.
Thank you for putting that awkwardness into words.
[also the breakdown equation prev made? 100% computes too, I feel you teaboot]
I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck.
For reference (heh)
At a glance, file name checks out. But!! Do not open a .vbs file!!!
A creepy compilation. Can you handle this much terror at once?!
I have to listen to bad music sometimes because otherwise the good music would lose its power. Not everyone agrees with my philosophy
you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.
reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years
