Stubborn Idealism

oh no what is this crap they're pulling with the the notifications

they are grouped but the profile images are collapsed as well so i have no way to tell who liked or reblogged

What is this. Who are the 3 others. You can no longer click on it to find out who they are btw

"US army retreats from Twitch" is a headline I certainly never thought I'd see but here we are

petition to rebrand twitch as "Vietnam 2"

Good work, mutuals. Sleep well. I'm most likely kill you in the morning.

Do you fear man more than God? Fear made Pilate vulnerable to manipulation, which impeded him, then paralyzed him, and finally undid him.

Have you ever met someone on the internet that you liked so much that you sometimes sit there and think “Oh man there are people who are lucky enough to see this person IN THE FLESH ON A REGULAR BASIS and I wonder if they realize how LUCKY they are”

Always nice when math helps make it all the more clear how ridiculously reasonable the worker demands are.

This is what the studios have brought everything to a grinding halt for.

Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.

personally I'm very pleased with what Elon Musk has been able to accomplish. pouring $50 billlion of his own money into a scheme to kill the most pernicious discussion forum in the U.S., now that's a level of success most NGOs don't even get. if he were doing it on purpose I'd even call him a hero

Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific

need to be someone’s weird gf immediately

EVERYBODY HUMBLE BUNDLE HAS THE ENTIRE MYST/CYAN COLLECTION UP UNTIL AUGUST 2, 2023 YOOOOOOO

My adventures with blog downloading made me think, what if somebody DDOS'd AO3 by accident because they were trying to download all the fics too fast

ao3 has a rate limit (number of times you can access the site per person per time period) which prevents any individual user from overwhelming the site. and - I am very confident - it is impossible to bypass accidentally. to get around it you would have to be an intentional hacker with malicious intent. 100% sure the ddos was not caused by regular people doing backups

Ah I see. Thanks for explaining...

This shit is so ugly you fucking idiot

Literally the real litmus test for “am I being prideful” is the Only Test. ( I’m the Only One that bad the Only One that deserves to be treated this way (complimentary or derogatory) my x is the Only Thing that matters here)

I have some pointless questions. If you aren't running for office but you win because people wrote your name in, are you required to serve? Where judge is an elected position, is a person who has no legal experience allowed to run for judge?

I just had an idea for a sitcom

"Judge Bubba". Setting: rural Florida.

Bubba, owner of Bubba's Diner, is renowned for his wise dispute resolution between the citizens of Swampville.

When Swampville holds an election for a new judge, and both candidates are known to be highly corrupt, Bubba's nephew stages a write-in campaign for his uncle as a joke. Bubba wakes up the next day to find out that he has won the election, and has to decide whether to accept the office. Wacky Florida Man hijinks ensue.

I want to emphasize that Bubba himself is not actually involved himself in any of the Florida man shenanigans, he's actually an intelligent, wise and empathetic dude who just happens to have weird mannerisms and his brilliant and correct ruling always comes as a surprise to the super professional and normal lawyers in suits
