karl urban is lowkey a v slept on actor talent wise ngl
man EMBODIES every role he plays
Karl Urban is such a good actor that not only did it take me years to realize he was both Eomer and Bones, he played three different roles on Xena and I only caught one of them initially
i love villains. redeemable or irredeemable. don't care. putting them in my mouth.
Sorry to bother you, but do you know of any alternatives to Gmail/google since proton mail was found to sell data...?
I honestly do not, and had not heard that about Proton. Time for more research, I guess. I would ask @ms-demeanor if they have suggestions though, they are *very* knowledgeable about internet privacy, certainly more than I am.
Long story short, Protonmail does not sell data. They are sometimes compelled to share the minimal data that they have access to (IP addresses, subject lines, recipient, etc) as the result of court orders.
It is important to remember that as a result of the basic functionality of email, the hard limits of SMTP, email is not secure. You cannot encrypt certain parts of an email, so email providers are always going to have access to those parts of your communications and sometimes nation states can compel providers to collect that information and store it. If you need actually secure communication, email is not the right kind of communication for you.
That being said, Protonmail is still pretty much your best option for encrypted email, and PrivacyTools.Org still recommends it; if you want to use something else, check the other options listed by PrivacyTools.Org.
Protonmail is one of the best free or low-cost privacy tools available, and I find it extremely concerning that the myth of them selling data has persisted. Hell, after they were forced to comply with the request for IP Addresses, they posted a tutorial on how to connect to their servers securely so they couldn't log IPs. I feel like the longer this rumor persists the more people are going to stick with gmail because "oh well, nothing is actually safe anyway, even protonmail sells your data." They do NOT. Open Source and privacy activists continue to stand by Protonmail because protonmail continues to do everything that is legally possible to protect user data and provide encrypted communication.
I think now that queens dead they should have her stuffed and put on display in Cairo for the next 150 years.
BLAZE REJECTED MY POST WOW LOL
We'll make sure at least 100k people see it for free then.
Wen Ning resents WWX bringing him back, instead of being grateful. This time WWX is the one getting the verbal beat down instead of JC!
Wei Wuxian was tight-lipped and angry, and Wen Qing was helpless to do anything about it.
Maybe she could have, before, but…
It wasn’t as if she hadn’t known Wen Ning had a temper.
He always had, even as a child. He’d been rather like their uncle in that way, odd as it was to say, though surely Wen Ruohan had never been such a quiet and obedient child, and certainly not a docile and obliging adult who loved his sibling so much that he suppressed his own personality to accommodate their interests over his own. Wen Ning knew how precarious Wen Qing’s position was, and he was grateful to her; it was therefore only rarely that she saw the rage that lurked beneath his placid exterior.
Somehow it hadn’t occurred to her that she’d see it now.
A fierce corpse, full of resentment – she carefully hadn’t thought about how such corpses only formed in people who had great resentment in their hearts to begin with, who had died unhappy deaths and died angry over them; she’d thought instead that when Wei Wuxian succeeded in bringing Wen Ning back to his consciousness, because she hadn’t accepted that he might not, Wen Ning would simply go back to the way he usually was when he was around her.
Quiet, obliging, grateful.
Not…this.
“How dare you,” he’d howled at them both. “Who gave you the right to choose if I stayed or if I went? Look at what you’ve done to me! Look at me! A living consciousness trapped in a dead body, trapped in corpse flesh that cannot eat or sleep, that does not rot, and no realistic probability of it ever ending…how am I supposed to live, when you two have grown old and died? When your children have died, your grandchildren? Did you think I would be happy like this? Did you think I would thank you for this?”
Wei Wuxian was tight-lipped and angry, but Wen Qing knew that soon enough it would turn to grief.
Just as it had for her.

Speaking of saving JL, I love how almost the entire adult cast keeps trying to keep this kid safe and he just keeps managing to slip through their collective fingers and get in deadly trouble anyway. JL thinks he’s starring in a middle-grade adventure novel while everyone around him desperately tries to convince him this is a rather violent mystery novel for adults actually and he’s gonna be the next victim if he doesn’t overcome his bad case of protagonist syndrome
#the untamed #he’s got all the YA Protagonist gear! #he’s got the magic dog #he’s got the quirky friends squad and the bully antagonist squad #he’s got the mysterious mentors #he’s got his dead father’s sword #jin ling is off on a YA adventure novel and nobody can stop him (via @cerusee)
I was going to put a joke here but I just can't get over the fact that apparently rich people think that pool noodles should cost 69 entire dollars
That pool noodle doesn't even have a hole in it!!! How can you call it the World's Finest when you can't even use it to spray water on your pals like the world's dumbest trumpet!?

Exactly One Million years ago, I procrastinated so hard that 8 pages came out. Now, those 8 pages are 14 and the ancient ones have been re-lettered because in my old age I have grown addicted to being able to read things without squinting.
Read the rest of the thing on my websut (or just go read the old version and forsake change, for you hate new letters and you hate new pages).
Bewarb, the link contains BLOOD.
But also a tiny hero.
EDIT: The websut database is currently exploding at random intervals, so only those deemed worthy by the gods get to read things.

It's a very common mistake for people to see their fictional blorbos engaging in calm, rational discussion about their feelings and say things like "aww, such healthy communication!" without recognizing the telltale signs of authorial mouthpiecing, which is a very stressful and unhealthy situation for blorbos to be in.
Blorbos thrive on melodrama, and require lots of space in their stories to scream and cry and break things and talk past one another while their voices crack and they make horrible gurgling noises from the weight of all their emotions in order to get the enrichment they need. While they do engage in catharsis naturally from time to time, it's a very sparing occurence and should not be forced.
Recent trends in blorbo breeding have authors and fans alike selecting for increased catharsis output and "behavior modeling", with little consideration for the effect this has on their ability to perform their vital functions. For example, in the above video, Alice explains to Bob that she feels hurt by his actions at the softball tournament in a measured and even tone, without even throwing so much as a lamp in his direction. Bob, rather than getting defensive and doubling down, responds by considering Alice's feelings and offering to make up for the transgression. Throughout the conversation they both use terminology ripped either directly from the DSM-V or the most recent thinkpiece the author had read. These blorbos are suffering from severe drama malnutrition.
While videos like this might seem cute and heartwarming at first glance, it's important to stay aware of the ongoing trend of blorbo abuse behind the scenes. Misinformation about proper blorbo care is rampant online and many authors arent even aware they're doing anything wrong.
Please spread this post to help raise awareness. Remember: Blorbos are happiest when theyre miserable!
