PSA: Don't use Open Office

I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh... look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn't been updated in nine years, and there's an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it's fantastic.

Seriously, if you think that your choices are either "grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription" or "support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience", I guarantee that it's because you're working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.

Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that's really the only reason people are still recommending it. It's kind of like if people were saying "hey, the iPhone 14 isn't your only smart phone option!" but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that's just newer and better – please don't get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!

Seeing people slam the costumes in Bridgerton season 3 as if they haven't been historically inaccurate as a DESIGN CHOICE™ from Day 1. (Even some of the best period costume YouTubers have said this.) This series is about romance and drama and seriously hot people in gorgeous outfits and settings. And seeing those hot people yearn and yearn until they fuck nasty/make sweet sweet love. It's wish-fulfilment. The Queen is black and the first two seasons had interracial couples and the Ton isn't all-white. There's an underground queer artist scene. We're here for the vibes, not historical accuracy. There's other things to watch for that.

hozier's "too sweet" is so good but the fact that it almost was gonna represent gluttony and therefore take the place of "eat your young" is wild to me like thank God we're in the universe where both exist

directors using colorful or "impossible" lighting to convey mood and meaning and beauty my beloved. directors making night scenes impossible to see for the sake of realism my beloathed.
