I don't like to add to the noise of Software Developer Do Dumb Thing, but I feel like this is as if the Japanese government sent me an email going "it turns out there are a lot of you named Kenji Tanaka, so to solve this problem we are retiring passport numbers"

Our username system makes it difficult for folks fluent in other languages to express themselves. That's why we're moving to a system like the one on Twitter, where every Asian artist forced to get an alphanumeric username has a handle like @bc2931a or @2023jx or @wabababxa_, which is very easy to remember and shows how versatile alphanumeric handles are at expressing one's non-English-speaking self

Discord's post trying to convince me that we're somehow now extremely allergic to the idea of sharing a number, despite the fact that Nintendo, that video game company that makes stuff for actual children, has had no problem with its users sharing IDs that are 14 digits long

“available with premium subscription” “will be removed on the 31st” “available free with ads” “rent 4.99 buy 20.00″ “not available in your country” “not available on this device” what if every streaming service fucking killed itself and films ran around their fields free and organic in their natural state

HEY PHOENIX-AREA TUMBLRITES


Do you want a cat?

Meet Marmalade.


Marmalade was rescued last week from a park near my job. He was dehydrated and starving, and literally hopped in my car of his own accord to get the hell out of there.

A vet visit has determined he’s roughly a year old, healthy, and unneutered. He’s both super-cuddly and playful, and has approximately as many brain cells as his fur color would lead you to expect.

Alas, if my landlord found out we had a fourth cat, we’d promptly get evicted. And so I turn to you, Arizonans of Tumblr, to find this darling boy a forever home. I’ll be crossposting this to my Facebook, but I have significantly more reach here, so please help me find his forever family!

Back in 1066 if you were out of cash you could just go to a castle by the sea and pretend to have washed up and say to the lady when she finds you in the morning “verily was my vessel thrashed uponne y rockes, and was I threwn theroute, and nighly drownèd, but spied I a maiden seated on a cresting waive, and she spoke unto me thus, Thou shalt upon a new land happen, and the Ladie who ruleth there will do good unto thee, and robeth thou in the coloures of her house, and take thy hand in marriage upon y dethe of her Lord, and then that sea-maid sung an a daulphin issued me from y tempest to this gentle cove” and she would just believe you. And then when her husband died the next day of “stomach upset” she would marry you and you’d be fine. It happened so often

the real life version of being doomed by the narrative is knowing you have work in the morning

the irl version of being stuck in the timeloop is also going to work
