Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.
The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.
EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.
robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.
When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.
bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀
I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be. Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes. Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting.
Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.
Reminder: they’re never ever ever ever going to give you your security deposit back no matter what you do. have fun with life.
Actually, if your landlord isn’t giving your security deposit back without good reason (in new york, they gave to give you a itemized receipt listing why they deducted from it) bring them to small claims court. Don’t let the bloodsuckers get away with your money.
Our last landlord tried keeping all the deposit and charging is for more. When we moved in, I took a whole lotta pictures. I took pics when we moved out and did my research regarding local laws and looked at how frequently tenants win in small claims court here. Over 80% of cases are in favor of tenants.
So I wrote a very professional letter to the landlord and property management company. I provided this information and sent a CD with copies of before and after pics of the place with notes, like the place hadn’t been cleaned before we moved in, there was a hole from the second bathroom to the outside, large enough to fit a fat raccoon, husky fur everywhere, nails, hooks, and tacks in the walls, footprints on the ceiling, human hair on the walls and ceilings of the main bathroom.
I informed them they had 60 days to return our deposit or we will take them to small claims court. Local laws state that if a tenant wins, we receive 3x the deposit, and the landlord pays all court costs and fees. 58 days after sending the letter, we received our deposit with an apology for “confusion.”
These people are dependent on ignorance. Be aware, be knowledgeable, and make them afraid.
[ID: a link preview of a stock image coffee table with a laptop with the facebook logo on the screen with text on top that says ‘anyone who used facebook in the last 16 years can now get settlement money. here’s how.“ end ID]
Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!
Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE
Excerpt from article:
Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network’s users.
The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.
Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023.
Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don’t do anything you don’t get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .
“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket
Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too
not only did you prove your point, but you showed an example of it in the same sentence
not to be pedantic but it annoys me so much when people talk abt how chatgpt is “lying” or “making things up”. or esp when people say it “refuses to admit” to lying. like girl that is a toaster oven
“it REFUSED TO ADMIT that it LIED to me” it is a line of code generating letters in the most algorithmically probable order
The things language model AIs are good at:
Replying to your prompt with the most common answer as derived from its data set
The things they are bad at: everything else, Including basic maths.
Seriously, chat gpt is basically something really good at finishing your sentences. It’s autocomplete on steroids. That’s it.
Is that a potentially useful technology? Sure! Can you use it to regurgitate things that may or may not be correct in interesting ways? Yep! But it doesn’t know what truth is. It doesn’t even know what math is. It gives accurate answers to ‘what is 1+1 because most people in the learning data said 2. If the training data didn’t have the answer or was inconsistent about it, it’ll throw random averages of the results it finds back at you.
Isekai with male protags: “I was a loser on earth but now I’m super fucking strong and gettin mad bitches”

Woman reincarnated as the daughter of a magic item crafter uses earth knowledge to advance her trade
“Straight” girl is sucked into a world with zero men and lesbians everywhere and finds out she’s sapphic (there’s like actual plot but the gay is what matters…. to me)
A ghibli film. Need I say more
Woman reincarnated in video game as doomed villainess desperately tries to change her story
Girl reincarnated as a tiny baby spider kills monsters to level up
Like the male protag one but the lame guy’s mom got isekaid with him and she’s the op one.
Two normal girls fight urban legends in terrifying danger dimension
Right, should have thought of that.

Adorable bookworm is reincarnated as a commoner in a world where books are extremely rare and decides to make books accessible for everyone (Ascendance of a Bookworm)
If you’d consider Korean isekai, there’s even more variety!
This chart is several years old and I’ve been in and out of the girlsekai community so I don’t have the freshest recs, but some others:
What if you isekaied. What if you kept isekaing. What if you kept isekaiing the same exact year, as the same exact person, trapped in the same plot that would murder you (often brutally) on the exact same day? At some point you’d have to become a serial killer, right? Resetting Lady = Finally someone makes a girlsekai horror story
What if (the above) except it was a silly comedy? If You Lay A Hand On My Brother, You’re All Dead
Some moony-eyed girl keeps dying during a zombie apocalypse and initially thinks it’s some divine test of her devotion to her man. Except honestly. Is he worth this. Do I know this guy enough to warrant the trauma I’ve woken up to a thousand times. Survive Romance is shockingly more about friendship than anything
The first few chapters of My Mom Entered a Contract Marriage - you are the abused daughter of a fallen villainess - once the hottest royal bitch in the kingdom, she’s now a commoner, an alcoholic, and extremely bitter. One day she wakes you up, screaming that she’s burning. She’s shocked you’re alive, sobbing and begging your forgiveness. Tbh this is one that’s more fun if you’ve read a lot of princess isekais, because fans will totally pick up on what happened, but her child cannot. Visual treat, I stopped reading because I don’t trust artists like this to last long. But what a starter it was!
The Holy Grail of Eris - we need more Scarlet Castiels. Look at me when I talk to you, I don’t care if you don’t like me type princess. If only she could possess us all
if thousands of conservatives could quit bud light over making a SINGLE can with a trans persons face on it, you can quit chic fil a for them donating millions to anti lgbtq groups and harry potter for being written by the face of TERFS.
Don’t let conservatives be the ones with the stronger resolve, guys. If we want to act like we’re better than them, we’re gonna have to like… Actually be better at following our own ideologies.
My archeology class has really given me a renewed and visceral hatred of ancient aliens shitheads literally the laziest and most incurious and thoroughly racist pseudoscience in existence
Archeologists: the sarcophagus lid of Pakal the Great depicts the moment of his transformation from a living lord to a sacred ancestor, literally poised between life and death along the axis of the World Tree as he descends into the underworld. It’s a beautiful and stunning piece of art providing an unparalleled glimpse of Maya cosmology.
Literally the stupidest person alive: it spaceship
