Any of you who feel bad about having overdue materials, just know that I, Library Enthusiast Nerdass Blog Runner, just realized i have accidentally kept the first two Dungeon Meshi books hostage for a week.

“plagueis saw qimir and osha so that means he’s gonna kill them!!1” first off, not all sith believe in or follow rule of two, just like not every witch believe in threefold law. second, out of any sith you could learn from, plagueis may be one of the most legitimately chill of them. he doesn’t care about galactic dominance or whatever, he just believes in sith beliefs & wants to exist his way and do his cool force experiments. nothing’s set in stone, stop acting like anybody who disagrees with the jedi is doomed for suffering for daring to not agree with the jedi’s holy worldview. it was old and tired then and it’s straight up mold now. just stop.

Today on "Everything Happens So Much":

After an exhausting 6 day work week, I sat down to relax with some old episodes of Taskmaster UK.

And realized that I've been living in my apartment for almost two years.

And I signed a two year lease.

And I realized this at 11 pm on a Saturday.

I take back what I said about everyone ignoring the fact that libraries exist and there's no excuse to pirate because why does California libraries charge you $5 for interlibrary loans (non-refundable even if it was unavailable) when they have a crappy catalogue of maybe 100 books and 5 dvds they only have because someone donated it

I know we all talk about their naked-man conversation in the coffeeshop as a “heeheehoohoo jealous Crowley is jealous” which is entirely deserved, but also can we talk about the bit after that, when he goes: “something is wrong. can you tell me what is wrong and how I can help” because.

this is hardly the platform for this, here on the funny fandom website, but just on the off chance someone's purchasing a house for the first time and it'll save them a headache: don't get First American Home Warranty. it was forced on us by the contract we got when we moved and holy shit it is the worst insurance that has ever existed ever, they've straight up lied to us about having totally called contractors and made appointments several times and have cost us literally hundreds for jack shit. Do Not Do It.

literally everything about ai art is shady and evil, but it's COMICALLY so when they keep going behind artists' backs to pay the sites that host their art for permission to steal it, rather than just asking artists openly to give it to them. they KNOW going about it above-board would get them nowhere because nowhere NEAR enough artists to be in any way useful would ever actually agree to let them tear their work apart and then resell it for their own profit.

and both deviantart and tumblr have taken the bribe, selling their users' content to these monsters. twitter probably too, based on its ownership.

running out of places to post... never thought i'd see the death of human-made artwork in my lifetime but here we are.

i think that subscription services that make you give them your card info just for a free trial should explode and die. and i think subscription services that hide the option to turn it off in the settings somewhere should also explode and die

what do you mean that sometimes a phone call actually is the best and easiest option

seeing sponsor ads in a video for subscription managers made me somewhat depressed over how so much of everything is subscription based now.
