Things that work in fiction but not real life

This post breaching containment has taught me that a lot of people seem to think they can accurately profile complete strangers. For the record, no the fuck you can't.

This is actually a really good example of why internet of things is a security risk. The hackers couldn't have exploited the thermometer as an entry point if it didnt connect to the fucking internet to start with

You're telling me an Ocean Eleven'd this casino?

If I met my clone or a version of me from another dimension or whatever and she tried to make a big fuss about which one of us was the "real" Natalie I just wouldn't have it. I'd be like "I just don't see what the problem is. There can be 2 women named Natalie. It's a pretty common name." And she'd be like "Well, I'm gonna be Natalie 1" and I'd be like "Alright I'll be Natalie A"

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

When my cat lays down in loaf position, is she leavened or unleavened? Is my cat kosher for Passover?

My experience tells me that catloaves do not wish to rise, which makes them unleavened and kosher.

The above-mentioned loaf:

If your cat is not made from one of the five grains, she cannot technically be leavened.  However, since it is clear that she can be made into something that resembles bread, it may be worth asking your local rabbi if she is kitteniot.

If your cat is made from the five grains, be careful about getting the cat wet, it could be purrbrochts.

something that boils my piss about visa and mastercard and stripe and paypal unilaterally declaring themselves the final arbiters of what kind of legal business people are allowed to conduct is how much of their bullying is based on pure aesthetics. If you go through the retailer list of a certain specialty herb supplier, the stores that are dressed as legal highs and head shops have all got the banhammer but the stores dressed as wellness and lifestyle have the full suite of payment options available. THEY'RE THE SAME. FUCKING. BUSINESS.

It's the same with adult products, if you want a dildo from Horny Hank's Freaky Fuck Bazaar you gotta pay with crypto or bank transfer but if you want the exact same dildo from the Heterosexual Coupling Healthy Happiness Enhancement Emporium you can pay with paypal.

They don't even truly care what you're selling they only care how it looks. The image of respectable conformity matters more than the substance of the business and products. And actually I don't think anyone should have to meet arbitrary standards of what an acceptable storefront looks like to be able to draw a cartoon dick when drawing cartoon dicks is in fact perfectly fucking legal. You should be able to draw and distribute cartoon dicks in accordance with the law without being forced to dress your cartoon dick dispensary like a hot yoga studio, actually.

additional comment from the anon: this mostly applies to things like smut or nsfw art. I see a lot of blogs that are 18+ and I’ve always wondered if people actually listen to "minors dni (do not interact)" or if they just ignore them.

Genuinely I think one of the best things you can do to build characters in your story is give them a kink. You do not have to put that kink in the story. You do not have to tell anyone but yourself. But thinking about their wants and needs and what would bring them comfort or desire, about whether they crave power or crave a situation where they're blessedly free from any power, about which taboo they might kind of want to cross, is really useful for getting inside their head. Also "what situation would make my character stupid horny enough to make a terrible mistake?" is a good plotting device. "It's a plot hole that they made that dumb decision" no they were just whistling like a lustful kettle and forgot to turn their brain on.
