There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

Imagine being the person whose boobs were photoshopped onto Gandalf and just stumbling across Gandalf's Big Naturals and knowing they're yours.

If there is a Danny Phantom movie I want it to either be the best thing I've ever seen or absolutely dogshit. Just so completely bad that it wraps around into being good again. I will not accept mediocrity.

Re: the post about Tumblr transitioning to a skeleton staff that's going around, it's funny/infuriating how outraged people are in the notes getting into an uproar about how Tumblr didn't "do everything they could" to "fix" the site, and then they list things that are like, [impossible to implement due to external restrictions] [illegal] [attempts to generate revenue that's not through ads] [not actually a widespread issue] [misinterpretations of the situation] [a problem so big that even websites like Facebook can't deal with them well]. Like tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about.
Also stop being dicks to random staff members using the website who have next to no power to make any of the changes you ignorantly think should happen.

I've been doing so much copying and pasting recently and will be continuing to do so for the foreseeable future, and it's been doing a number on my left hand because I have to keep hitting Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V while stretching my fingers, so I decided to buy a three-key keyboard macropad that literally only has a Ctrl, C, and V key, designed specifically for copying and pasting.

I ended up on the Wikipedia page for "oldest dated rocks" and it's got me feeling all sorts of fucked up about the sheer size of geologic timescales.

The Gimli Glider airplane accident is one of those things that seems stranger than fiction. Like, due to a series of communication and conversion errors, a Boeing 767 ends up taking off with a quarter of the fuel it should and loses both engines while cruising at 41,000 feet over rural Canada, which seems like a recipe for disaster because, while the plane can glide without fuel, there's not enough speed to make it to the nearest airport. HOWEVER, the first officer used to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force and remembers there's a disused air base within their distance range. Yay! BUT they're not descending fast enough and will overshoot the airport and have no way to change the plane's speed. Oh no! HOWEVER, the captain flies unpowered gliding planes in his spare time and knows a strategy to slow it down by basically turning the plane nearly sideways so that the drag on the fuselage slows it down. If he's careful enough, he'll be able to land the plane at the old air force base. Yay! BUT it turns out that one of the runways is now used for drag racing and it's race day with people on the runway. Yikes! THANKFULLY everyone got out of the way and the plane stopped without hitting anyone and with only minor injuries to any passengers. Utterly absurd.

What is the point of having an op protagonist if they don't occasionally lose control of their powers and terrifying both themselves and their loved ones?

Just ate at an Italian restaurant that has a special room that seats ten people at a table with a large lazy susan upon which sits a plastic box with a bust of the Pope in it.

The topic of Danny Phantom came up in conversation with a coworker and I mentioned I'm active in the fandom, and he asked me what the weirdest thing in the fandom is, so I said the dissection/vivisection fics and then showed him art of Little Baby Man and Diddles Piddles. He was like "yeah that's weird." Stay classy, Phandom.

I love the concept of Antarctica. Yeah, we've got these other continents that are warm and habitable for the most part, and then we've got one on the south of the planet and pretty far from most of the world's population that's freezing cold and inhospitable. 60-70% of the world's freshwater is frozen there in an ice sheet averaging over two kilometers thick, which is kept cold in part by the world's largest ocean current. The continent is mostly populated by scientists, penguins, and a variety of lichen. It's technically a desert.
