new thing I learned today: humans intentionally introduced a bunch of trout to rivers in Chile in the early 1900s and messed up the ecosystem so fly fisher people could go play fish or something. which sucks. then later they found out that the trout really like eating these small endemic freshwater hermit-crab-cousin guys called Aegla. so there was a proposal in the 1970s to introduce Aegla into California to screw up THAT ecosystem, so fisher people could go play fish even more over there. but then it turned out that the normally detritovore Aegla will absolutely 100% just turn into a predator and eat the baby trout if given half a chance. this could have turned out really bad, but luckily crabs can do whatever they want, including burrowing into the invasive trout nests to eat their eggs. I'm proud of them

"Single people are on average less healthy, less financially stable, and overall less satisfied with life than partnered and married people are. This must mean that monogamous relationships and marriage are the solution to society's problems"

Huh, it's almost like society, both socially and financially, is set up to specifically benefit people who have monogamous relationships and get married and punish people who don't partner or get married. It's almost like there are financial benefits that exist specifically to incentivize people to get married and have kids and be a nuclear family. It's almost like it was very culturally normal until very very very recently to just not have any deeper platonic relationships after you get married, meaning that single people past a certain age just get left behind and get treated as spinsters or loser bachelors. It's like life just is not designed for single people to be able to easily participate and survive while still being single. Huh, very weird. I'm sure marriage will fix this.

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

There's a common issue in fandom when people take the words and ideas of the villains as 100% canonical truth even though the narrative clearly shows those villains as wrong and incorrect.

not to be too 'kids these days' but boy the notes on that post about whether it's OK to ship things that the creator(s) of a work do not endorse are depressing. people have got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too comfortable with the idea that fandom and fanworks are things that creators should engage with and know about, let alone - good grief - exert some degree of control over. where is my fandom fourth wall, where has it gone

There is an alarm going off at my work and nobody can fix it or turn it off. Does anyone know any good music that pairs well with a shrill ringing, tempo approx 240 bpm

as a librarian, i can't encourage you enough to check out stuff you don't think you'll get around to reading

like other institutions, at the end of the day we have to use numbers to justify our existence and inform our financial decisions

check out that novel by that author you like even if you know there's no time to finish it. check out a movie you like even if you can't watch it. check out a sewing machine even if you don't have time for a project. we don't check if you finish anything, and it all adds up.

support your local library by checking out things you don't need
