I love eating shit on the way to work, because facilities can't be fucked to clear the ice off campus for a whole month, and now that it's raining there's icey-slushy-mess everywhere.
Makes my day 🙃

Living in Korea, blogging about games, TTRPGs, and other things I want to fixate on.

Yay un-genderlocked outfits.
Edit to add the much better designed portrait that goes along with it.
About ten years ago I saw an anonymous Wikipedia user who had edited dozens of articles about Mario, Sonic and Putt-Putt, rotating their names so that the articles about Mario were now about Sonic, the articles about Sonic were now about Putt-Putt, etc. I'm sure those changes were noticed and reverted almost immediately.
Looking deeper into this user's edit history, I found a series of edits to articles about films, changing their running times by adding or subtracting a few minutes. I have no idea whether these changes were ever noticed, but Wikipedia absolutely depends on the kind of person who'll obsessively go through their VHS collection and check each movie's Wikipedia sidebar against the info on the back of the box.
It's impossible to fact-check everything we read, and it's impossible to be aware of every kind of scam, so we rely on heuristics to guess whether to trust any given source. One of the heuristics I've found most useful is to consider what the author has to gain by lying, but sometimes I think about the guy randomly adjusting movie running times and I just have to lie down.
i have never in my life agreed with the premise that "nobody would do that, there's no reason" and neither does anyone else. just look at the people you've met in your life. you know full well that a ton of people just do things without a lick of rationale.
The crumbling edifice of our entire present society rests on the pernicious myth of the "rational actor."
"Listen, I know ya'll built this entire economic system and the basis of law and all that on rational actors, but you did that knowing full well we are a species that invented Russian Roulette."
