DRAGOON ARMOUR - Final Fantasy XIV Opening Cinematic.

which is definitely not an omen

oh lads king chucky isn't doing so hot

Estinien: When have I done anything rash or irresponsible?

Aymeric: I keep a list. It's alphabetized.

Me meeting a genie: Okay, so my first wish is for 1000 dollars a day, deposited to my bank account without any way of tracing it to anything illegal. I want this money to come from the ten richest people in America (100 dollars each), withdrawn under the guise of nebulous, random purchases and surcharges. It would probably be best to split the money into a myriad of smaller fees, though, to reduce the likelihood of anyone noticing. Got all that?

Genie: um

Me, continuing on without a care: For my SECOND wish, I want you to give me the ability to learn any given phoneme, so that I can learn to pronounce new languages perfectly. If you’re willing, it’d be nice if it were a little easier to memorize new languages too, but if that’s not cool, I’m perfectly fine doing all the legwork myself I mostly just want to be capable of pronouncing things correctly.

Genie, now staring at me like I’m insane: ……okaaayyy?….

Me: For my third wish. I want to always have great ideas for gifts for people. Every birthday, every holiday, I want to be able to come up with something they’d really like, with enough time to actually get it for them.

Genie, just staring at me

Me: I can provide you with a written document if that would help.

people like op are the ones that get memorialized in folk tales for outwitting the devil

"The Stoppables"

saw some good trees yesterday

There's one of these in my neighborhood too! I don't know what they are but they're beautiful!

Edit: people are saying they're cherry blossoms. I've never seen cherry blossoms look like this, is that what they are? 8O !!!

Uh Oh, The One Other Guy Having The Same Problem As You Got Zero Replies To His Post On Reddit That He Made 5 Years Ago

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️

That feel when your fandom has to start a '#no dissection' tag on ao3

This tag isn't from this post, but it's in my screenshots from forever ago, and I couldn't resist adding it.

What I like about this is that dissection isn't part of the original Danny Phantom, but it is part of fandom's Danny Phantom. Someone who writes a fanfic with him being dissected is making a fanfic of the fandom's Phantom. This means that there is a second version, a version that is made up of the fanfics and is constantly evolving as new fan-content is created.

I find this fascinating/wonderful/beautiful.

What do you think they're referring to when they say "molecule by molecule"?

Can someone please pull up the screencap for me where danny nonchalantly goes "I hope my parents don't dissect me later"

like this is a kid show so it can't go that far but the implications are there

Thaaats the one vvvv

"But helping poor people should be voluntary."

And even when it is, people still have a problem with it.

I went back and did some digging, because it occured to me that I didn't know the date reference of this story and, sadly, there are way too many stories about school lunch debt that they're easy to mix up.

This particular story was from July 2019 (I reblogged it Sept 2022).

There was a relevant update within a week of the scandal: public outrage was swift, the embarrassed school board redacted the outrageous allusions to indebted students ending up in foster care, and it accepted the CEO's $20k donation.

It doesnt change the fact that the very concept of "school lunch debt" is disturbing and inhumane (and there are still stories about children...with lunch debt...). And clearly, the district changed it's tone because it didn't like the bad PR. But figured it was helpful to have more info and context.

Here are some of the relevant sources; each offer bits of info unique to each specific source:

1) "Pennsylvania school district turns down local businessman’s offer to pay off student lunch debts"

2) "Pennsylvania district sorry it warned that lunch debt could lead to foster care, accepts $22K donation"

3) "Pa. School District Reverses Course And Will Now Accept Donations To Cover Lunch Debt"

4) "Pennsylvania school lunch debt furor ends with an apology and an announcement: free lunch for all"

Remember: Public outrage can and does solve problems.

civilization is the process by which it becomes illegal, impractical, or otherwise impossible to help people
