One Of My Favourite Things About The Setting Is How Teenagers With Attitude Are Clearly Considered A

You know, for as much as English lacks a few things that Portuguese takes for granted, like an one word formally agreed on plural for “you” and two different “to be” verbs, one for momentary states of being and one for more permanent ones (like, for example. We can differentiate between being busy for a certain period of time and being a busy person in general just going by the verb), you guys really went off when you decided having different terms for baby cats and baby dogs. Like, kittens and puppies? That’s SO cute and SO right. Those little things ARE kittens and puppies.

To horribly over-simplify my current tabletop game, it's set in a single city, currently being taken over by a lawful-evil Wizard who has outmanuevered the lawful-good (but distant) monarch. The Wizard is evil because he wants total control over the lives of others. His DNA isn't relevant. One of the few remaining resistance groups are 'the goblins'. They're not all goblins. They don't resist because they have green skin. The farmer's union leaders were put on charges of treason, arrested and executed. The business leaders were bought off or threatened. the doctors have been "relocated for their safety" to a fortified 'hospital' that now functions to weed out undesirables if they come looking for help. The sewer worker's guilds were already underground. And that's where half the city's goblins (and about a tenth of the dwarves, and a bunch of others besides) were employed. Most of them were refugees or veterans from deep-wars to the west, took any jobs they could get, were comfortable underground, and familiar with the needs of functional sanitation in cave systems. So when the harvest riots ended in bloody repression, the goblins went underground, and started looking for the Wizard's secrets.

Sturgeon's law: 90% of everything is shit. The way to get good media is to make another nine bad ones. Just make the bad stuff! Even if you never learn, you'll make someone else say "I can do better" and that's great. Honestly: I am an adequate mini painter. I routinely enter, and lose, painting competitions, because I don't want someone with real talent to look in the cabinet and see nothing they can't surpass.

"Why does Gen Z suck shit at horror?" every generation sucks shit at horror. In the 2000's they were sucking shit at found footage, in the 80's they were sucking shit at slasher flicks, in the 60's -- Jesus, in the 60's they sucked so much shit someone went and made a whole TV show where a bunch of guys watched horror movies from the 60's and made fun of how much shit they suck.

What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

im watching a little doc on youtube about an 11th century castle, and theres a bit where they are talking to a group of older women who are working on a large hand embroidered tapestry commemorating its nearly 1000 years of history & into the modern era.. and off on the border they show a bit where the women have stitched themselves working on it into the piece itself, and it made me kinda emotional

how amazing to have a visual depiction of the women who spent literal years painstakingly stitching such a wonderful piece of art that historically would have gone uncredited
