Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.
I always look forward to the unveiling of the Pantone Color of the Year because I'm a dork, but they keep making.... Choices.
Revolutionary.
I can hear realtors across the land rubbing their hands together in anticipation of suggesting this color for repaints before someone sells a house.
You know Pantone, when you release the "Color Of The Year" it might be a good idea if you picked a color.
“paid subscription with ads” is fucking crazy. if you pay for a service and then get served an ad on said service you should be allowed to pipe bomb its executive at no legal risk
Cute house. Why would the real estate agent post this making this 2 bedroom look like the entryway to hell?
Few weeks ago I tried to cheer up one of the interns feeling bad about her post-internship prospects by being like, "Don't give up! If I could get here on accident, think how much farther you'll go on purpose!" Today one of the other interns said something cynical about his future and tell me why she went "Cheer up! If Jules can get this far on accident, imagine how much farther you'll go on purpose!" Which like yeah is exactly the advice I gave you but also hey

This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it
Ancient and BRILLIANT, I think you mean.
the text of MDZS quite unsubtly states that people are complex, that one can never fully know another, and that questionable decisions are quite often the result of not inherently evil character but rather incredibly difficult circumstances. the text of MDZS then quite directly states that, because this truth is too difficult and/or inconvenient for society to accept, society instead resolves matters and benefits its own agendas bu chooses one person to become the sin-eater for everyone's mistakes, regardless of the actual truth. the text of MDZS illustrates this theme with the entire downfall of wei wuxian, ie. the main plot of the book. the text is quite clear that what happened to wei wuxian was unjust, unfair, and did not reflect the full truth of events.
so it really is something to see the fandom consume this story, and then turn around and do the exact same shit that the in-universe characters did to wei wuxian to characters like jiang cheng and jin guangyao! clearly the problem isn't that unilaterally labeling some people as "heroes" and some people as "villains" never actually captures the reality of the situation - clearly the problem is not that the system of assigning all the blame for everything onto a few specific individuals does not capture the full complexity of the situation - clearly the real problem is that we've only misidentified the heroes and the villains!!!! clearly everything else about the mindset that led to the downfall of wei wuxian - that everything can be blamed on a few specific people, that every unsavory rumor about someone is the full and uncensored truth, and that some people are just inherently evil - is correct!
when people like sect leader yao state that some people are just intrinsically evil and do evil things Just Because, clearly the problem here isn't that this philosophy is wrong - clearly sect leader yao is actually Correct, and he's only misidentified who his statement applies to!!!!!
MDZS fandom is very smart.
December is the only month in which I know what the date is every day. It's also the only month in which there is a handy calendar with a reward system that helps me to remember the date. Much to think about.

Nine rings were made for men. Seven for the dwarves, three for the elves, and one for the big guy himself. One, three, seven, nine. There is but a set of five missing to complete the sequence of odd numbers. I propose that this missing set of rings of power was gifted to a mysterious someone by their true love, along with a partridge in a pear tree (among other things). In this essay I will-
so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day
Anybody else have a growing fear of updating their tech cuz everything seems to be getting worse and worse
I feel like there are a lot of people on tumblr who would enjoy this but I'm not friendly enough with them on a personal level to like, DM it to them
