My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

[berkelbites]

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence

SOMETHING TO HELP ADHD-ERS STAY SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED: LABEL. EVERYTHING.

DISCLAIMER of course this won't help everyone, but this has genuinely helped me so much and I thing it's worth trying out if you're a disorganized creative fool like myself

My mind trying to be organized is like trying to herd cats, so I started to label stuff. Initially I was just doing this with my Magic the Gathering collection as I sorted them cards into boxes, but then I realized I could actually recognize what I needed/what I needed to put into each box without always needing to read the labels (To neurotypical fuckers this sounds stupid but you're blessed and neurotypical so suck my toes; thou dost not knoweth how vexing life can be with ADHD).

So now I'm in the process of labelling every box, every drawer, every thing that I put other things into wherein those things I place will vanish out of sight and therefore out of mind and therefore out of sheer existence. Behold just a few examples:

I particularly enjoy the sewing needle being held for ransom on my whiteboard.

WHY DOES THIS HELP: If I label a drawer/box/container, that is where that thing belongs; now my brain registers that this THING I have, whether it's a paint tube, a lone hostage sewing needle, a tablet stylus, I know where it is because I know where its home is because I FREAKING LABELLED IT SO IT HAS TO BE THERE AND IT MUST RETURN THERE.

I'm sure other ADHD homies have this phenomenon where we'll be using something and then, when we're done with it, we don't remember putting it down and then we suddenly have no clue where it is. This is especially prevalent with art supplies for me, and I have tons of random crap including papers/painting pads/inks/paint tubes/dip pens/etc, but the worst offender for me is sandpaper. I always lose it. It's such a skinny boy but I can never find it ever

But then I labelled a box and decided I'll put any sandpaper I find in there and GUESS WHAT

My cup runneth over. So much sandpaper. I can sand all the things and not get exasperated and frustrated that I can't keep my shit organized despite having those dumb little drawer organizers.

It sounds so simple, but it has deadass calmed the ants in my brain so much just by doing this. It feels so GOOD to just KNOW WHERE THINGS ARE.

I hope this helps some people who feel overwhelmed and anxious by their workspace/surroundings!! We can totally stay organized, it just takes a bit of a tape and marker

hey so filming people without their consent is weird. you know that right? filming people you don't know and they aren't aware of what you're doing is creepy. posting strangers online is fucking weird. we're too comfortable with doing it now for shits and giggles, chasing some sort of viral hit instead of reckoning with the fact that you posted someone who did not consent to their body and face being publically used.

we're being pushed these Meta Glasses as if mass surveillance of strangers is fun and normal! it's weird!!! there are already reports that people are using these to film women without them knowing and sharing it to communities who get off on this shit. who else knows who people are filming. these glasses with cameras are not obvious and that is dangerous.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

on one hand when people call qifrey and olruggio the girls' dads it doesn't bother me as much as it does for a lot of other characters, because credit where credit is due they are in fact raising those children right now. but also it does kind of piss me off in a different way than it does when like, people call's phoenix apollos dad. because the master-apprentice(s) relationship seems to be the default/primary unit of witch society... we are shown that the master and apprentice bond carries equal social/legal standing (or possibly higher!) to that of the immediate family. so like.... calling them their dads almost seems like kind of a downgrade by the setting's standards. isn't it interesting that this is a society structured in a way where you pretty much just hand your child over to someone else to raise for the remainder of their adolescence, and the child is legally entitled to choose who that person is. that's a neat interpersonal dynamic you're setting up there! it's got a different flavor to it!!! but i know people don't want different flavors of things. they want everything to be the same.

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

[anarchistmemedistro]

62 8

[g00burr]

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

[anarchistmemedistro]

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.
