Adult things arent NEARLY as complex as I thought they were growing up I just walked into bank of america and said im here to open a checking account and they said ok and opened me a checking account
If you have anxiety about being an adult, it may help to think of adult things as basically just doing a lot of quests.
Me: [googles “where do i get a passport”] Me: [goes to that building] Me: [asks first person I encounter] Where do I get a passport? Them: Third floor, room twelve. Me: [goes to that room] Me: [asks first person I encounter] Where do I get a passport? Them: That desk over there. Me: [goes to that desk] Me: Where do I get a passport? Them: Fill out this form. Me: [thinking] Silver key opens the garden gate, in the garden is the red key, which opens the red door, there’s a boy in the red house who tells you his dog is trapped in the old abandoned barn and can I please rescue him…
being an adult is a serious of fetch quests and waiting in lines
In all seriousness though, one of the most liberating things about being an adult is it’s perfectly acceptable to walk up to another adult and say, “I don’t know how to do this thing, can you help me?” and they will.
I’ve used this for everything from renewing my tags at the DMV to buying a house to cooking a steak. Adults are way more chill with ignorance than I thought they would be, but if you’re up front and just say, “Hey this is new to me, can you walk me through the process?” they just. Will?
Sure there are some assholes out there but mostly just…people are cool helping you figure out how to do things.
More and more people who have had their dance moves stolen by fortnite are coming out saying how pissed they are by it. Especially since there’s nothing giving them credit and no royalties from the ones they’re selling.
Let’s be real. Nothing new about companies profiting off of shit black people create without giving any credit. I still play fortnite but they are wrong.
Since this is actually getting notes please reblog this version showing proof so people can know that these people aren’t happy at all and we can at least give them credit for their creations.
I get the impression that a lot of people are nervous about first drafts because they think that they’re committed to whatever they end up writing.
That ain’t how it works – like, at all. A first draft isn’t something you edit into a finished product. A first draft is something you set aside and use as inspirational source material for the second draft, which is where the real process of working toward a finished product begins.
You’re not actually beholden to anything you came up with on your first go-around. Basically, the first draft is the low budget 1980s toy commercial that the second draft’s 2010s Netflix reboot is based on. Substantial changes aren’t merely permissible, they’re practically mandatory: if your second draft ends up sharing nothing with its predecessor but a broad premise and the names of some of the major characters, that’s not a sign of creative weakness – it’s a sign that the process is working!
What I’m taking from this is that I have zero reason not to a text generation algorithm with just barely more sophistication than a Markov chain generator or Madlibs system to help make huge chunks of text when making a first draft.
Well, no – the process of writing the first draft is important for refining your ideas, even if you end up using very little of its actual output, so you can’t just automate it away.
It doesn’t have to be particularly good writing, though. Like, if you’re ever stuck on a plot point in your first draft, it’s totally fine to ask “okay, how would the writers of Scooby-Doo resolve this?” – that’s the level of authorship you’re shooting for here!
…Over the course of two years, Capcom released a game where you can rescue a dog and are rewarded for it (Resident Evil 4), a game where you have a helpful dog companion (Haunting Ground), AND a game where you play as a good dog and help animal buddies, which include other good dogs (Okami). In this essay, I will discuss Capcom’s Pro Dog Agenda of the mid 00′s and what it….
Beauty and the Beast absolutely can still work, just have a town populated by hairy humanoid monsters and a stunningly beautiful reclusive human stuck in the castle.
While this is kinda funny, I really hope this person didn’t actually write a serious thinkpiece about this, because the premise is based on some pretty flawed assumptions.
As others have already pointed out in replies and re-blogs, the actual point/message of Beauty and the Beast was about what’s on the inside and love, not what’s on the outside and sex. In service to this message, the movie shows characters holding obvious bias based on outward appearance, both positive and negative.
If nothing else, people of all kinds definitely still judge others based on outward appearance. This is not something that has disappeared. Hell, you can see it in the notes on this very post, with people describing Beast’s human form as “boring,” or “just a handsome guy.” So, yes, I definitely think Beauty and the Beast still works, because what it addresses is still very much a problem.
This GIF shows how the toucan releases heat using its beak to cool itself off.
The toucan beak isn’t just beautiful, it’s also an adjustable thermal radiator that the bird uses to warm and cool itself. When the bird is hot, the blood vessels in their beak open up to allow more circulation to enable heat to escape. Birds can’t sweat so evolution has come up with some life hacks to get the job done.

You fool they’re charging their laser cannon
this bitch now makes alot more sense now
The people at game freak are way smarter than I gave them credit for. I thought a toucan who attacks by setting his beak on fire was ridiculous, but turns out it was I who was the fool
They probably wanted to make Toucanon blue if it weren’t for possibly getting in trouble with Kellogs.
