I actually do this?? Um. My family is weird about names, and I'm weird about names for my family and uh. Yeah.
Anyway it's pretty good! Kind of annoying when streams cross though.
But yeah for all've yez who think it sounds cool you can just do it! You don't need paperwork or anything! Just tell people 'I go by x' and 99% of the time they won't even question it! (The other 1% of the time you just have to insist and they'll probably go with it. At least, that's been my experience, but I'm sure there are some assholes out there that will make a problem out of it. There always are. :/)
what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes
#it's not even a gender thing I just.#names#ugh#my wallet name is none of your fucking business and also I don't like it!#so there!#and once you go by a name that's not your wallet name once#it just gets easier to decide you want to be called something else in certain situations#I've generally divided shit up into 'family'#but obviously there's a lot of overlap between categories#and as you may have noticed there's no category for non-online friends#which isn't actually a huge problem for me personally given my socialisation preferences#but is occasionally awkward#reblob

32% on story mode!
Given I know very little about tomatoes, and jack shit about weed, pretty pleased with my guessing abilities!
If you "enjoyed" my Previous Uquizzes What The fuck Animal Is This? and What The Fuck Animal Is That?, you may "enjoy" my latest, about the naming conventions of agricultural crops: Weed or Tomato?
If it makes you feel better: I made the damn quiz and didn't get 100% on the proofreading test.

I voted "-11.00 or -12.00" but that is a LIE I am NOT ON THIS POLL.
Haven't got an update in like three years (at the point where I need to, but glasses expensive and I haven't got a new job yet), but the last one I got my good eye was something like -17.25. Other one was -18.

I've been thinking of the "Can Granny Weatherwax beat Bugs Bunny" question and this is my full take for Discworld characters:
Vimes - Cares too much, too easy to piss off. Has the innate chase instinct that makes characters run into walls with realistic tunnels painted on them. Might get to arrest Bugs Bunny but the beast will just slip out of the handcuffs to help him lock them, then walk out of the jail cell to have a union mandated coffee break.
Ridcully - Classic hunting season scenario, but has enough charisma to probably still get a few good shots off before the inevitable.
Rest of the wizards - No survivors, only Bugs.
Carrot - The intense near-magical narrative aura of well meaning innocence should make him immune, Bugs will likely be forced to be the villain of the episode.
Lord Vetinari - Flattened by a comically large anvil in the first few minutes of the episode, unclear if it was all a part of his long term strategy or not.
Moist - Has the 'lovable trickster getting away with it' energy, but nowhere near Bugs level. Already fell for the "old lady who swallowed a fly" scenario with the stamp slugs once, won't fare any better here.
Death - Definitely one of those "character is trying to avoid death" episodes, would go back and forth. Might actually get to end Bugs but his spirit will reappear in Death's domain and ruin his garden.
Nanny Ogg - The ultimate in anti-Bugs technology, a gleefully annoying old lady who doesn't give a fuck and definitely won't be the first to instigate the plot bearing conflict. This is a full sweep, he's the episode antagonist.
Granny Weatherwax - Too win-motivated to not lose. Would have to break the story to have any chance. Might do it.
Magrat - Will have sappy ideas about helping the poor animal which honestly has the 50:50 chance of either getting slapsticked or Bugs ending in a ye olde stroller&pacifier gag.
Colon&Nobby - Designed in a lab to be totaled by Bugs Bunny.
Tiffany Aching - A child that also has a large pan that is the perfect thing to hit someone over the head with and make a BOIOIOINGGG sound, so great odds.

At 174 I am technically not on this poll but I went with Shrodinger's height dilemma, because goddamn it I definitely feel short most of the time, and then a lot of my friends tell me I'm super tall? Which. No.
Just saw a post asking how tall people are and now I want to make it a poll. Apologies to people in the fringe height categories, you do not get specifics.
I had to consult a chart for this
#I'm STILL mad I stopped growing at 14 more than 20 years later#I WAS tall as a kid and now I am not and it sucks#Why not give me an extra 10cm#I always wanted to get to six foot#reblob

Hey don't cry, okay? We just found Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, a species thought to be extinct for the past 60 years.

I mean it's not the devil talking, really. It's that you did, in fact, come out okay! Because you borrowed from the future!
You just gotta remember that the interest accrued from future energy borrowing is compacted by the minute, and at an even higher rate than even the most predatory of credit cards. Pay your bill as soon as physically possible. You do NOT want to get into a debt spiral. Even more than usual.
if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.
#this applies to mental energy as well as physical energy btw#on a related note wow I am going to CRASH tomorrow#and probably on Saturday as well#worth it for getting that goddamn phone call out of the way though#'Did you know you can do [stuff] online?' YEAH I TRIED THAT IT SAID TO CALL YOU#Probably because I hadn't updated these particular details for over a decade so I'm not even that mad#Just. Ugh.

Everyone will not just
If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

I am An Old, so I've got the FFVII victory theme for calls, and the LoZ item get noise for texts. :3 If I knew how to change the Discord alert noise it'd be the nintendo mark, but I don't really care enough to research it.
it's kind of sad that we don't really do custom ringtones anymore. most people just stick with the default list that comes with your phone, if they change it at all. if they're even aware they can change it at all. like yeah, people letting their phones ring in public is obnoxious, but wouldn't it be a little less obnoxious if it was something funny? or personal? people used to change the text tone of every contact so every time they got a text they knew who it was just from the sound. isn't that sweet? isn't that nice? don't you miss it? don't you want to scream when you hear that stupid apple pa-Ting!??? we could have a chorus of awoogas and clips of people's favorite songs and recordings saying '(blank) IS CALLING, WARNING, (blank) IS CALLING' and all things considered i would prefer that over pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, whistle whistle, pa-Ting!
anyway im going to change my ringtone to the oldschool skype call sound and nobody will ever hear it because my phone is always on silent but i'll know. i'll know
#FFVII victory theme is from Crisis Core#since that's the best quality version I could get when I was setting it up#LoZ item get is probably from Wind Waker since that's my fav#Nintendo mark would be from Yoshi's Island#But I'm 90% sure all the games from that era used the exact same sound file so it doesn't really matter#reblob

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.
