Gif stands for Graphics Interchange Format. when graphics is pronounced “JAFFICKS” Then I will pronounce Gif with a “J”

^ This

It’s followed by an R of course it would be a hard g. But Giraffe is a soft g. Genius is a soft g. Gin is pronounced with a soft g too. GIF is I following a g, it would be pronounced with a soft g.

It aint Jif peanut butter though.

It would still be pronounced like that. The general rule is if the g is followed by an e or i, it’s soft g. U or a consonant is generally a hard g.

I will DIE WITH MY HONOR

Gear =/= Jear

Get =/= Jet

Gift =/= Jift

Give =/= Jive

In English, words with a ‘G’ followed by an ‘e’ or an ‘i’ can be pronounced with either a hard ‘G’ or a soft ‘G’.

Words with Germanic roots such as ‘gear’, ‘get’, ‘gift’, ‘give’ (see above) are pronounced with a hard ‘g’ while words with Latin or Greek roots such as ‘gem’, ‘general’, ‘giraffe’, ‘giant’, are pronounced with a soft ‘g’.

So no, it’s not exactly a “general rule” that ‘g’ followed by an ‘e’ or an ‘i’ makes a soft ‘g’ sound. 

Additionally, “GIF” is an ACRONYM starting with a word that begins with a hard ‘g’ sound, so “GIF” is therefore pronounced with a hard ‘g’.

This is a perfect compromise, it makes everyone unhappy.

A day or two ago, I was at “boob” restaurant (like an owl one) for a best friend’s brother’s birthday. I got up to go to the bathroom. Talked to a waiter to ask where it was, blah blah blah, normal stuff. And when I was halfway across the restaurant, some guy at a table slapped my ass. And he and all his friends started laughing about it. I spun around and slapped him across the face back.

He got sooo pissed. Started yelling at me and calling me a bitch and then told me “You can’t hit me! I’m a customer!”

I’m pretty well developed for my age, and this happened when it was hot as fuck outside so I was wearing shorts and a tank top.

“I’m not a worker, asshole! And you shouldn’t slap their asses too just because they can’t hit you back!” I’m pretty sure I said something to the effect although I probably am explaining it as if I was smooth and calm back then, but I was an embarrassed, mortified mess

And then I asked one of the waitresses to call the police. The guy was backpedaling and trying to apologize.

Fun fact: I’m 15. Like I said, very well developed for my age.

So I told him no, we were both going to wait here for the police to show up so I could report him for sexually abusing and harassing a minor.

He panicked and was even trying to bargain with me, but like fuck I was letting him off the hook. Think of how many other girls this asshole has probably harassed! I just have the power to do something about it.

Police got there and I had about at least 50 witnesses to attest to the fact a stranger, who was probably like 40, slapped my ass, when I am, in fact, a minor. Not to mention he yelled things at me when he thought I was a worker like “You can’t touch me! I’ll beat your ass, cunt!” Which I referenced as him threatening me too.

The rest of his friends were mortified and had tried to leave but I insisted that they have to stay because the cops might want statements from them. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t fuckin know, but the manager seemed to agree enough to tell them to wait for the police.

I had tried not to, but as some point when talking to one of the waitresses while waiting for the police, I started crying because of how violated I felt. It may have done good for the police came in to see my crying, I don’t know, but the waitresses were all so sweet and tried to comfort me when they had the chance.

I intend to press charges. Since I am a minor I need my parents to help or whatever and I know nothing about this kinda thing but I can potentially get him labeled a sex offender, which he IS, so I want him to actually feel punishment for his abuse towards female workers (I doubt I’m the first girl he’s harassed, maybe just the first who could fight back without her job on the line, so I want to be the last girl he harasses), just… ugh. I just hope he gets the punishment he deserves. So… wish me luck with this whole “legal system” nonsense.

In DnD, elves live to be about 750 years old. At 18th level, druids gain the class feature Timeless Body: “the primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year”

Ie, assuming your elf druid started adventuring around adulthood (anything past 100 years), they can theoretically live well over six thousand years old. 

I don’t think your age has all that much effect in most campaigns but imagine meeting an NPC elf druid. 

“Wow you’ve been around for that long? What was it even like a thousand years ago?”

“The trees around here were shorter.”

Things my grandma has said while watching the Emmy Awards:

"Is he... a trans?"

"They don't need to mock trump every other minute"

"Alec Baldwin basically just said actors are more important than our government..."

"It's all about politics"

"I can hardly watch this... I'm so glad you aren't like this" (if only you knew grandma...)

"What even is queer?"

"Nope. Nope. I can't! They are so rude to The President"

"DRAG RACE?"

Story time:

Okay so I was in the hospital all morning. And I had the works. An IV and a CAT scan and all that Jazz.

When I was in pain they wouldn't give me anything at first because I was crying not 5 minutes earlier because I couldn't hug the other people in the hospital to make them feel better. I heard other people crying or screaming and that made me sad, so they all thought they had already drugged me.

My mother had to convince them that this is just how I am.

There’s a giant bug flying around in my room and I can’t get it and I’m just like 

I felt obligated to reblog this because of my icon… I’m sorry about the bug.

Admittedly I saw you like it…and I busted out laughing because I thought it was so fucking appropriate both for your icon and your url. Screeching applies. 

I'm in a constant state of screeching... internally, externally, eternally... screeching.
