Tumblr Is Giving Us A Lot Of Different Dashes But The Thing Is No One Wants "for You" So What I Propose

i’m literally making that exact game in college right now

all factory-building games are worthless if they don’t let you mass-produce food. what’s the point of anything if little food items aren’t involved

I had heard about porn bots on Tumblr, but I had gone for months of regular use of this site without seeing any. But these past few days, I have been getting flooded by follows from them. Are there any tools that can automatically block all users who’s names end in a 3-digit number?

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

As a young librarian, I started trying to figure out why more young people aren't ever coming in; 90% of our demographic are the elderly and parents of children, and the rest are a rough mix of the kids and teenagers who come in just for school projects. As a result, I've been attempting different ways to get the Youth TM to come into libraries, but first I wanted to see why they don't come in. Please reblog to get this poll out to more people! <3

I’ll also add: get an RSS reader app.

Most individual comic websites will have an RSS feed you can subscribe to, meaning that you don’t have to memorize/write down each comics’ update schedule or check the website to see if the comic has updated.

Before I knew about RSS, I would choose to read on Tapas or Webtoon if a comic was available there because following a comic on its own website was just less convenient. But with an RSS reader, I can follow dozens of comic websites, get notified and see all of the updates in one place, and keep track of which updates I have already read.

I personally use NetNewsWire on IOS as my RSS app, but there are plenty of good ones.

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

one propaganda, because there isn’t enough of that yet

-1, 0, 1, and 2 are the most important numbers. they are the basis of the integers, each of them providing something unique that every other integer builds off of.

all the other types of numbers, from rationals to reals to complex to transcendental, build off of the integers.

NaN, on the other hand, is the basis of nothing, and isn’t even that interesting on it’s own. I’ve been programming and dealing with floating-point numbers for years, and do you know how many times NaN has come in useful? precisely zero. even calculations that ‘should’ result in NaN, like dividing by zero, usually don’t even use it, instead just throwing an error. why? because an error is more useful than a NaN the vast majority of the time.

you know what NaN is? floating point filler. there were a bunch of bit representations left over (16,777,214 for the standard, 32-bit float) and the designers of the IEEE 754 float decided to make them all NaN because they didn’t know what else to use them for.

sometimes plushies make me cry because it’s like. they’re little guys made to be loved. their only purpose is to be held and hugged and loved. we made them because we love making things and we love loving things. and they’re so cute

i achieved my wildest little creature dreams this weekend and turned my regular bed into a mossbed and it’s everything i’ve ever wanted in a snooze spot
