An explanation.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Anyone crying over this needs to think about how insufferable a dragon raised by a seagull would be
You bring French fries onto the beach. You angrily shoo away seagulls that predictably try to grab them. A HUGE shadow swoops over you.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

No one will know which is it
This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.
So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.
So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.
These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.
anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect
This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.
How dare you not leave a link to his channel, this guy is the savior of the modern world.
Ok so apparently what we needed to fight the crab overlords was a bunch of furry tubes. Good to know!
May I introduce you to the ancestor of seals, sea lions, and walruses?
I see what you're thinking. "That's just a goddamn otter." Nope, the skull and teeth definitely indicate this critter is more related to seals than otters.
Because you know what a seal is if you ignore the blubber? Short tiny limbs on a long flexible body. A woozle.
So that makes for woozles in: mustelidae (true weasels), viverridae (civets), herpestidae (mongooses), eupleridae (Malagasy mongooses), nandiniidae (African palm civet), prionodontidae (asiatic linsangs), procyonidae (cacomistle), canidae (Bush dog), mephitidae (spotted skunk), ailuridae (red panda, a little debatable, but definitely stumpy limbs), and the pinnipeds (Puijila and arguably all true seals).
The only carnivoran clades without obvious woozle shapes are cats (domestic dwarfs don't count), bears, and hyenas. At least not extant ones.
---
Anyhow, here's a selection of not-weasel woozles, all from different families of carnivora.
Perhaps Pooh Bear was right to be frightened of woozle power.
you look at @pangur-and-grim and tell me cats aren't woozles
“One of the most interesting things about Elizabeth Turner was her Kiss of Death. Throughout the trilogy, all of the men she locked lips with has died - including Sao Feng in At World’s End, and (if you want to be petty about it) her father, Weatherby Swann. Usually they would die moments after kissing her for the first time. This excludes Will Turner who has kissed her several times before and beat the odds every time. However, even he succumbed to her kiss and died as well minutes after the two were hastily married by Barbossa. This is most likely a just coincidence and not something that was intentional, but years later it’s still fun to point out to friends and watch a dawn of realization hit their face when they realize that Pirate Queen Elizabeth may have also been the Grim Reaper.”
Alot of people seem to miss these two additional details:
When Jack died, he was killed by the Kraken, summoned by Davy Jones.
When Sao Feng died, was by the damage from the canons of the Dutchman
When Norrington died, it was by Bootstrap Bill, a member of it’s crew.
And when Will died, it was directly by the hands of Davy Jones.
One more thing that has struck me as odd is when she interracts with Davy Jones, he acts as if he’s seen her somewhere before. When the Empress crew point her out as the captain he has a sort of “wtf, you, you are their captain?” reaction, now you could just shake that of as Davy Jones being a misogynistic but i don’t doubt he’s seen female pirate captains before, given how long he’s lived. And when they come face to face on the Dutchman, it feels like a meeting between sworn long time enemies (at least to me).
Elizabeth, what the hell are you even and what exactly is your connection to the Dutchman.
Well…
If the Dutchman and Davy Jones are the canonical undertaker of all sailors, then Elizabeth is the one who marks them. Which makes it very, very poetic that she marries the man who takes over as captain of the Flying Dutchman.
I will remind you all that at the very beginning of the trilogy, Elizabeth is the only one who can see the Black Pearl, which at that point is considered a ghost ship.
And we find out later that Davy Jones resurrected the Pearl from its place on the ocean floor in a deal with Jack.
So whatever her connection is, it long predates her adulthood.

Happy 100 years of feeling nothing, merely tired
the comments on this video killed me

Creative way of saving camels from getting run over
my favourite things about this video:
1) the amount of time that went into considering this approach, which is a resounding 0.00 seconds
2) the baby's screm - yes it's sad bc the poor lil guy is scared but the way his yells for momma hitch with the guy's running have me lmao ngl
3) the guy either had the incredible good fortune or the foresight to put the baby between himself and momma so he could make a break for it. it was too quick. Too deliberate and almost instinctive. He has done this before.
4) the victory skips and turban twirling.
10/10 but please for the love of god there has to be a better way camels kick people to death
Great eared nightjar
now, more than ever, people need to show their support for trans women. JK Rowling is back on her terf shit on twitter and that means self-proclaimed 'radblr' is going to be having a fucking field day celebrating and harrassing trans women calling us rapists.
seriously, drop harry potter. i don't care what your excuse is for reading the books, creating content for it whether it just be dumb tumblr posts or writing fanfiction. take it from a trans girl in the uk - your engagement does have a tangible effect on our lives, and JKR has openly stated that most people who engage with that series agree with her view.
The new Fantastic Beasts trailer dropped 7 hours ago.
JKR is literally leveraging transphobic outrage is get herself trending on social media to boost her movie trailers.
Dont engage with this woman or her content.
This is literally the most bomb-ass D&D story I’ve ever read in my life oh my god.
Holy shit ._.
Some RP sessions have better stories than actual fiction. I mean, goddamn.
For those having trouble reading the text:
We had a campaign in D&D where we assembled a steampunk-ish time machine. After many sessions travelling through time, uncovering mysteries and learning harsh lessons about changing history, we had to stop a time-travelling cult from destroying the gods, and therefore the world. We failed.
Our machine crashed, we were stranded earlier than we had ever been able to travel. We found the Gods, but only a few of them were present - it was as if some had never existed. Then we realised - we had to become those Gods. Our party was entirely divine (Cleric, Paladin, Avenger, Invoker), and each of us was a worshipper of a god who had been unmade - and we were the only people in existence with enough knowledge of the forgotten deities to assume their roles.
But two of the players were worshippers of Io (in his twin forms of Tiamat and Bahamut, who would of course form later after Io’s ‘death’), and only one could become Io. The other would have to be the un-created Asmodeus.
So the most just, honourable and dedicated Lawful Good paladin I’ve ever seen roleplayed became the god of tyranny and evil. If he hadn’t, the gods would never have defeated the primordials, and the world would never have been completed.
In our setting, Asmodeus is every bit the epitome of evil you would expect him to be. Nobody but the gods who abide his presence know him as otherwise. He adheres to his role because he knows he has to - and that in doing so, the world can exist. He can never tell anyone his duty, and no-one who knows can ever discuss it.
In the farthest recesses of the Nine Hells, in a chamber sealed tighter than any other in existence is a pocketwatch of finest gnome craft with a photo of his family in it - his wife, son, and little baby girl.
They were killed by an orc army marching under the orders and banner of Asmodeus. Their deaths are what drove him to become an adventurer.
Goddamn
What did you just call me? Cunt? Like the philospher?
I know I’ve said it before but it’s impossible to find my old posts on tumblr so I’ll say it again; if you feel insecure about having nerdy/‘childish’ hobbies as you get older, watch Critical Role. Marisha is the baby of the gang at 32, most of them are in their 40s now, and they’re all still a bunch of goofy nerds who have fun playing make-believe while rolling dice and openly love comics and cartoons and video games. Taliesin dyes his hair bright colors, both him and Matt paint their nails, they’ve all got nerdy tattoos, they cosplay and wear silly outfits and I know several of them own kigurumi. They cuddle with each other and get unabashedly excited about things that happen when they’re playing a game where they pretend to be elves and wizards and shit, and several of them are known to cry when they talk about how much they love their friends.
Look, if they’re allowed to do it, you are too. Be nerdy, be silly, be open, let yourself get excited and feel things, have fun with life! You’re never too old for it!
