#1 out of 10 i give it a 5

[catofoldstones]

I am too dumb for the asoiaf tumblr fandom and I am too level-headed for the asoiaf reddit fandom, where do I go?

#let’s make a separate site for the semi-casual enjoyers #the discourse here is sometimes so well researched & so well written #that ur jaw is on the floor #people out here writing books on greenseer sansa & jon losing an eye & bran Norse mythology parallels & arya royal diplomat foreshadowing #and I am sitting here w so maybe sansa thinks a lot #it’s giving oh men get on acid & discover empathy while women have had metaphysical realisations at age 12 #people out here doing deferential calculus & I am saying 2*5 = 10 lol #but that’s still better than reddits 1+1 = green tomatoes #man ok #rant over

not to be one of those "google is free" bitches (bc in some instances they do more harm than good) but i did just search "nct l*cas allegations" (w/o the censor) and found several articles, a reddit masterthread, and some twitter threads recapping the situation (with varying degrees of reliability, proof, bias, etc.) in about ten seconds of scrolling, about the same amount of time that it takes to send me a message. so please! do that instead! i do not want to waste any more of my time/energy thinking abt that man, nor do i want anybody to form their thoughts or opinions solely on information they get from me! that's way too much pressure and responsibility to put on me.

#like ive generally kept my mouth shut abt him during his redebut bc i genuinely do not deem him worthy of wasting the mental energy on #my only posts have been abt blocking ppl who support him #and listen. no hate to the ppl asking me what he did. i think ur coming from a fine place and i understand that i brought him up first. #i always google it myself first before i tell someone google is free. just to make sure its that easy. #this time i give it a 3/10 difficulty. out of thr first 5 results maybe 1 or 2 were supportive and/or lukewarm #the others.....not so much #i believe in you. genuinely. lets bring back critical thinking. you and me. lets bring back not being spoonfed our opinions by the algorithm #talk #text #mine

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random #internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too #just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc. #My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates' #and 'worst roomates' would be the least common #very long also since I like to be thorough I guess #THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more #likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous #people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc. #(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic #lol... I need a peaceful quiet household) #Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site #before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0 #The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a #''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers #to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc. #But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers #that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category #then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the #'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization #and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that #there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal #'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc. #BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz #for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something #now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm.... #(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)

[delicatebluebirdruins]

the world of stoneybridge and the first packs final two years at school was isolated (not as isolated as the wild wolf pack but you know)

the final year we learn about Segolia something that only gets hinted at kinda (people that can help) in season 1 and 2 but not explored just things said in passing people in positions that can help

Segolia as a whole could have been done better considering the power they hold and the things that they do. like it is basically a wolfblood government but never treated as such and it should have been that way especially with the route they went with the secret getting revealed

but we're in a city this time in Segolia and then its back to school kinda with majority of the pack being in their final year of school (+Emilia)

and you know 4 and 5 is rushed just in general

#thoughts for later #cbbc wolfblood #shannon kelly #tom okanawe #maddy smith #rhydian morris #jana vilkas #matei covaci #emilia covaci #i have mixed feelings about human to wolfblood thing but that is 100% thought for later with three back to back rewatches #possibly looking at interviews but probably not #the show went out nicely but underwhelmingly #...why didn't the final episode have Jana teaching the little girl and her pack Eolas? #Matei was hurt that she never taught him #i can see Selina wanting to learn how to do it so where was she? #cbbc was never going to give us a season 6 considering how the marketing for season 5 went and cutting down the episodes again from 12 to 1 #10 #ellie rambles in the tags #don't clown on my post #random thoughts

slightly different route:

the legendary one cycle sprint to ascension! route suggested by @sevenrs which i decided to try. the route is honestly pretty similar to what i was doing before, with a few minor tweaks that ended up making it faster than my original route.

as you can see from the score screen though, it's not actually 'one' cycle; i starved twice to bring my karma up so i could go to pebbles. but the game doesn't know any better :) tbh this was pretty fun, particularly because i'm more familiar with the route now. if you're okay with navigating drainage system and filtration system in the dark, you can give it a whirl!

#sky i am so sorry for the three tags now but i cannot in good conscience not tell you about this #or credit your (and your friend's) route planning #speeeeed #yes game i totally have only 1 minute and 56 seconds of playtime ✨ #rain world #for anyone legitimately interested in trying this out: #skip the tutorial by not entering any of the tutorial food rooms #and get food elsewhere. exactly 5 is enough so don't bother hunting bats for too long #save in the outskirts shelter near the industrial complex gate #upon cycle 1's start: starve #do NOT touch the karma flower before you starve. i had to restart because i realized i fucked up #once you enter your starve cycle eat the karma flower in the room below the den #then die. quitting out might be faster but i need to check if it works; it should but just to be safe yknow #repeat with industrial complex flower and den #once you hit karma 4 reroll your rain timer until it's long enough to run all the way to pebbles in one cycle #yes it's doable. it's fun and scary and you will feel so cool #and then die or quit out once he gives you karma 10 #so you'll be back in the outskirts den after that. just book it to filtration system through drainage system #you will have to deal with dark rooms but it's like. fuckinnnnnnn uhhh four or five rooms that are pitch black #and then you're in depths! and nothing matters anymore :) except fall damage i guess #don't die in depths to fall damage #i'm excited to see if anyone can beat my time. most of my speed comes from running away from enemies and chaining roll pounces #nothing fancy movement wise. so anyone better at movement than i am could probably beat that time easily

Yk why this is annoying cause it asks too much task for so little result and like it's just Dumb and OVERHYPED.

#me about college #wtf dym i gotta study like 10 different topics for you to give 5 shitty ass 1 nark question from some deep trenches #and ek out of nowhere 5 marks bullshit your way through😐 #i will kill someone #tomorrow

You know that meme which goes "things that would send a victorian child into a coma" etc? Well, I'm a bayern fan til I die but sometimes I see the things we complain about in here and think some of ya'll would go into a coma if you supported any other 'normal' club

#like- im not gonna complain about not winning the league after doing so for 10 years straight! #because that's NOT normal #we ALWAYS win something at least #bayern is one of the few 5-6 clubs worldwide who's always gonna win no matter what #do ya'll really think we're in trouble just because we probably wont win even 1 thing this season? please- we'll be fine #im sorry if all this came out harsh btw lol #i hate losing too but-- idk #after going through this particular season with arsenal I've realized how privileged bayern is... #and how whiny we are sometimes lmaoo we REALLY do not know real suffering... #and give BVB a break i know some of ya'll hate them but face it-- they're 9/10 times harmless for bayern #and i think that's it for the rant #stuff #football

attempting another raglan knitwear item [screaming and crying car crash sound effect cat yowling glass breaking]

#so far have had no luck with raglans. right now. i have the right amt of stitches just not in the right places #but its ok bc it 1 misplaced stitch which should be in the front but fsr is in the back. no harm done i can live w 1 st #im mostly also bad at being patient enough to achieve gauge #like . its ok i have a 90% accurate stitch gauge and a 115% row gauge #which like is perfectly plenty but i am gonna have to do some quick math later on bc it says to knit until it measures 12 cm #but there are still some 20 odd rows to go (with increases) and im already at 5 cm #and the gauge also said 22 rows = 10 cm so like idk i do think something's not quite right there vis a vis measurement but whatever #i just really hope it works out pls god let it work out im using such a cute yarn combo #im holding 5 strands of yarn btw which is so fucking stupid especially bc one of the yarns is one i recuperated from a sweater and split #horrendously but its SO beautiful its like a yellow cotton polyester blend (or viscose icr) and its like silky soft and gorgeous #but also entirely split into like 6 strands or smth plus the shiny strands that make it so soft keep getting caught on my dry hands #and i dont even have that dry hands but like anyway point being im giving myself a headache inducing task #and i hope it works out #i also should perhaps do a crochet raglan cause its . easier. and i care slightly less abt crochet so i wouldnt mind fucking up

very frustrating that there is a snake I want, I have a nice sized tank I can set up for it, I have had this snake saved for a month now and his price just dropped, and yet I still need to wait.

rambles in tags

#mrowr.txt #boyfriend says i definitely should not take on another snake #which. understandable #but i also think aside from the initial cost of setting up the tank its only a little bit more food cost? #plus it gives me more reason and benefit to buy food in bulk. #cheeseboi only eats 1 snacc a week so a 4 pack is a MONTHS worth #but shipping is 50+ on any size order online #if i went through 8-10 snacc a month rather than 4-5 that would be a lot more worthwhile to order like 25 at a time #i told him i will hold off and put more thought into it rather than being impulsive #and i'll check in a month to see if he is still for sale #and go from there depending on how my finances look #but he is the cutest lil baby and maybe im lame but i believe in fate #and if that snake pops up again while i do my random scrolls and nobody else buys him and loves him i just heckin might #bf is worried my entire apartment is being taken over by tanks but tbh ive always dreamed of that? #this isnt new? #i just finally have the finances to do so #i've always wanted a few snakes #was actually like a key plan in my ex and i's relationship #and Cheesecake makes me so happy genuinely. seeing his lil snoot pop out to say henlo when i get home #or how gentle he cuddles #i love my tank pets

ive been astoundingly Normal at my internship so far so maybe [redacted] just made me act like that :/ i bet it was that damn mustard gas incident

#actually the mustard gas incident happened during my 6th month at [redacted] so i was insane for a good while before that happened #but ive been SOOO normal working on this farm. ive had like 3 minor incidents that i barely remember. thats how normal ive been #ofc i think working 1 on 1 with someone vs. letting an 18yo loose in a factory produces very different results #this is a nature vs nurture issue i think lmao. hopes inability to function vs being inside 12+ hours a day or touching grass 24/7 #i do have a hunch that ill become Abnormal soon bc my aunt revealed some info that has got me Thinking #(apparently my boss is not all the way straight. this info revealed during pride month. girl we have got to go to a pride parade together) #diary post #also have you guys figured out yet that if you block 'diary post' you dont have to see posts like this from me #i am so fukcing sleepy i was going to stay up and play ultra sun but im tired :( cheese day today so ive been up since 5 #but i found up my boss gets up at 3:30 fucking am EVERY DAY #girl the milky way is still RISEN at 3;30 in the summer that is SLEEPING HOURS!!! #kinda want to be like. bestie can i come over at 4am and we can look at the milky way together. i can show you the constellations i know. #ofc that would mean i have to wake up at 3:30am but like. milky way my beloved <3 #or i could sleep at her house (especially now bc her husband is on a fishing trip and it wouldnt be weird it would be like a sleepover) #and then i wouldnt have to drive 10 minutes at the ass crack of dawn. #not even the ass crack of dawn the sun rises at 5:30 she wakes up fully nestled within the ass of night #i cant. i would rather kill myself than wake up at 3:30 every morning for the rest of my life #anyway im tired and i want a cat so at least one of these farm people im working with should give me one of their barn cats. #you dont need 6 cats but i need just one little creature :( #okay great post guys. hit the showers

you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD

gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. (for the ultimate guide to donating an esim, see http://tinyurl.com/gaza-esims) there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) @/fairuzfan also a tag for esim referral codes here, some of which are nomad. BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) NOMADCNG is a code for 5% off any middle east region nomad esims from connecting gaza. it can be used on any purchase, not just your first but is generally going to give less off than the first-purchase only codes, so use those first. it can be used in combination with nomad points. (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)

weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE

troubleshooting hint 1: if you are trying to pay through paypal, make sure you have pop-ups enabled! otherwise the payment window won't be able to appear.

troubleshooting hint 2: if you are trying to purchase an esim using the provider's app, it may block you from purchasing if your phone does not fit the requirements to install and use their esims. use their website in your browser instead and this problem should go away.

edit as of 4/9/24: nomad (regional middle east), holafly (israel and egypt), simly (palestine and middle east), and airalo (discover) are currently in the highest in demand. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of the esim platforms, including these three platforms. if it has been more than 3 weeks since you initially sent your esim and your esim has not been activated, you can reforward your original email with the expiration date in the subject line. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated. if your esim has expired without use, you can contact customer service to renew or replace it.
