“Has She Read About Me And Judas Yet?” BYE LMAO. Fandom Aware Jesus Is Too Much For Me To Handle

"Inshallah he will OD soon" fucking sent me

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

I love this. Dieter being the cola and fortnight kid is canon.

Shitty magma doodles of monster characters playing videogames lmaoo

"I know people in Palestine are being tortured, bombed and slaughtered, I just don't want to see it" is an unforgivable statement, and yet too many people, Americans in particular, are comfortable with saying it. Especially given that, apart from Israel, this is America's genocide. 70%.

If you aren't protesting this, if you aren't even showing a sliver of care, then no. You don't get to pretend you're a good person.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

NEVER get into anything thats heavy on color symbolism bro . for months you will not be able to look at the color blue without instantly thinking of Squingle Dinglus

I want everyone of my friends who hasn’t read Monster to see this, and imagine Tenma, and understand why I love him so much (he’s Jesus coded)

Kenzo Tenma is truly the blorbo of all time. He’s a genius neurosurgeon. He’s wanted internationally for multiple murders. He’s so pure of heart that birds land on him. He threatened to stab a nazi in the carotid artery with a ballpoint pen. He accidentally adopted a child. He snuck a sniper rifle into a library. He gets hit by a car on two completely separate occasions. Multiple strangers have tried to give him food because he gives off such sad wet dog energy. He got distracted on his way to a date and bought a clock instead. He canonically has eaten pussy. He vents about his problems to a child in a coma (a very bad move, in retrospect.) He passes out from lack of sleep, and then has the gall to nag the guy who peels him off the floor for smoking too much. He was forgotten about during a childhood game of hide and seek and stayed behind a tree all night waiting for someone to find him. He closed an open wound with a stapler. He has a savior complex. He’s the epitome of ‘no good deed goes unpunished.’

What a guy.
