sometimes I'm really glad I have friends who are into sports because it means I get to find out about stuff like this awful MLB merch
can't wait to show my support for my favorite team the Philadelphia PhiPies!
@official-boob-posts IT'S SO OVER
boo
I’m not a sports enthusiast but I need it

This post pointed out that The miis at the end in the dream are Alice and Anne, two CPU miis from the Wii U! In fact, it seems all the Miis from the TLLD trailer were from the Wii U-- here are all the ones I could identify!
*accidentally capitalized the H in Ji-hoon's name here but the wiki spells it with a lower case H. Apologies
voice acting as a profession is so funny because you'll see someone being like "voice actors need to be paid better! like [obscure person you've never heard of]" and you're like "oh I wonder who that person is, maybe I've heard them voice a character" and you look it up and it turns out they voice 137 characters in Futurama and 94 characters in The Simpsons and 96 characters in Adventure Time and every one of the My Little Ponies and 27 characters in Arcane and 96 characters in Kim Possible and 4 characters in Phineas and Ferb and 296 characters in Dexter's Laboratory and all of the main cast of Fairly Odd Parents and at least 6 characters in every Pixar movie and almost every animated depiction of Superman and 473 SpongeBob characters and they've been in every installment of Mass Effect and Halo and The Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Call of Duty and they were in Star Trek and Law & Order and they were 12 characters in the MCU and they also invented t-shirts and the colour green and they got paid a sum total of $3.27 and a mothball for all of it combined. then you go burn down David Zaslav's house with him inside
how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:
-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of
-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."
-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.
And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.
Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.
When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written
bat fam type posts are so annoyin due to being really bad reads of the characters and putting characters far above others in importance that shouldnt happen but most critically whys jason always there? he would not be there. why is he at the breakfast table man
GOD yeah. i have dp x dc tag blocked but some things just arent even tagged.
99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.
you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"
Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.
The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).
Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.
no cruel jokes or pranks this April 1st we should instead celebrate the better April 1 holiday
What is the better April first holiday and what does this saucy little scamp have to do with it
I can't find an article in English but essentially in France it is a common children's prank to on April Fool's put little paper fish on people's backs and it's called "poisson d'Avril" (April Fish). when i was in school in our french classes we would hide paper fish around the school as well and i took great joy in wedging mine in deeply impractical places that im honestly not sure were ever found. looking at it now, my French teachers had billed it as a Whole Separate Holiday but it actually seems more to be like a cultural in-joke/France-Specific April Fool's Prank lol whoops
regardless I like it better than some of the more mean spirited stuff I've seen associated with American April Fool's day
can't be mad at someone just taping one of these lil guys to your back right !
i love this thank you
Unlike his domineering mate Belette, Craigore the Destroyer is a quiet, mild mannered dragon who only wishes to please those around him.
Belette finds Craigore’s clinginess to be cloying, but tolerates it since his immense size and horrifying visage prevents humans and other dragons from bothering her. Craigore is simply happy to do Belette’s bidding if it means he receives any affection from her afterwards.
Craigore wishes one day for the two of them to share a lair. Belette isn’t keen on the idea of fully sharing a nest with Craigore, partly because she values her independence, but also because he sleeps on a bed of broken glass and barb wire.
I have come up with a terrible dragon idea.
He was probably an egg kicked out of a nest, and unfortunately got picked up by a bird. He spends his life being utterly delighted by the joys of being a little pigeon in a lovely little forest, tries talking to everything else, which often leads to him being shot, attacked or partially eaten, but he's just so thrilled by being such a lovely, pretty little pigeon he does just fine. If he knew he was a dragon he would probably be incredibly miserable with the knowledge of being a small, weak, useless little reptile the size of a purse dog with no redeeming qualities, but as it is he thinks he's a little magical pigeon who's prettier and cleverer than all the other pigeons, so he's very delighted.
He's not very smart.
