this game asks you to type in the name of capital cities and fills in the map as you do. your time limit is twenty minutes, so keep that in mind if you were hoping for a quick distraction (you can, of course, give up early).

If you do play, though, report your score on this poll? I'm curious

The funniest thing about the Rainbow Guard was that when Martin was asked about it he confirmed Renly and Loras were gay but said the Rainbow Guard was just coincidence

this man personally inspired decades worth of showa scientists inventing shit like ultra death beams and juice that makes your eyes explode who think that these inventions could be used for the betterment of mankind somehow

Discovering intelligent alien life and it isn't even slightly a metaphor for any current or past human societal conflicts. :/

Measured in letters, not syllables. Please do *not* put your deadname in the tags, I don't want to know that

the build just isn't competitive in today's discourse meta

i feel noone gives a shit about vegetarians anymore, all i hear about is vegans, vegetarians became irrelevant in the pop discourse

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Do you love watching your production graphs grow as much as we do?

the factorio devs truly know my heart like few others

you're 100% right about the pluto thing and everyone who's disagreeing with you is a pseud

i appreciate you saying so but nevertheless i am kicking myself for not adding like six paragraphs of disclaimers to that post

not that it would have worked

not responding to the pluto stuff any more but i have to admit this one reply amused me

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

if i'm parsing you right you mean a situation where you have M months of N days and then some extra days at the end, and asking how to talk about how far apart the Nth of month M and the 1st of month 1 are?

surely you would measure that interval in days anyway? like even without intercalary days nobody would reasonably describe december 31st and january 1st as one month apart?

look. i respect that we want our calendary system to be neat and regular. but intercalary days are nothing. like. thats just fully giving up. how do you refer to units of time that cross the year boundary! are the beginning of the first month and the end of the last month "two months apart"? (or whatever your unit-that-doesnt-include-intercalary-days is). what are we doing

i would love to understand the mindset of people for whom 'make friends' is a primitive action one can undertake on purpose and not something that just happens sometimes unpredictably when life throws someone with the exact right shape at you hard enough

like tbc i know there are things i could do on purpose that would increase the probability of making new friends (and i am not, because doing them is strongly aversive). but that would be like, marginal increase in the rate of random events at best (and also separately not long term sustainable probably)
