I’m still thinking about that “is OSHA regulations Cop Behavior” post. Like. You know who thinks regulations are for losers? People who build submersibles out of logitech gamepads and rejected carbon fibre. People who trust starlink as their only surface lifeline.
Do you wanna be like the fine film on the floor of the Atlantic that was once a billionaire? Is that the hill you’re really gonna die on?
We have an expression in my field- “Regulations Are Written In Blood”
People don’t have fucking safety standards as a power trip, we have them because somewhere in the past, NOT having those regulations killed or maimed someone.
A lot of laws out there are bullshit- safety regulations sure as fuck aren’t. I have the literal scars to prove it.

Saying "mosquitoes are annoying" after one bites me but shaking my head the whole time so the attractive single ecologists in my area know I understand their value in the ecosystem and that we would slowly die if they went extinct

What if Winds was really bad on a horse?
Think about it - this kid comes from a world that is mainly ocean, therefore horses would have died out or moved to other lands long before his time. He's only ever seen depictions of these animals in the old texts.
So he agrees to try riding Epona with Twilight. He doesn't like it one bit. He's used to boats, the steady and gentle rocking on the waves, not the constant bouncing up and down that this beast is subjecting him to!
He throws up his breakfast moments later. He refuses to get on a horse again.
He doesn't mind riding a Loftwing though. The gentle swaying reminds him of being in a fishing boat - just in the sky!
#unrelated fandom in tags but identical situation#the emelan series from tamora pierce#you have a girl who basically grew up on the sea#this is her reactionto riding a horse for the first time#her teacher who hasnt ever been on a boat gets incredibly sea sick#point is i love this take op

At this point in think that D&D has more ardent support than lutheranism. And it's adherents are somehow even more annoying.

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

As a former librarian I'm actually required to remind you that many libraries that subscribe to Libby are opted into a program that lets you subscribe and access magazines for free with no wait
And that this is actually a really fun, low cost way to not only access news and larger cultural magazines, but also to get free patterns for many different crafts that you can screenshot if need be and that lower the financial barriers to entry for trying new things
From my experience working in both academic and public libraries, many libraries are use it or lose it funding-- I have to say this because a lot of patrons feel guilty for how much they use the library and how often they're using it funny enough, but the worst thing you can do for libraries is not try out new features and not use what's already given to you as much as possible.
The numbers that come as a result of your patronage are how most libraries justify their continued existence in times of financial hardship, which sucks but, go check out some magazines on Libby!

I will never understand the hate for grey hairs. Your hair has sliver in it now. You have the color of stars on your hair. You have proof you survived and grew up. You have proof you are living. How is any of this bad?
