The concept of mazes and labyrinths is frankly quite funny. Like yeah this is a confusing and elaborate arrangement of walls that we specifically designed for your dumb ass to get lost in. It serves no other purpose. It's not trapping you, you'd be free to walk right out if you only figured out how. You are only imprisoned by your own stupid ass that walked in willingly and now can't figure out how to get out. Is there a monster roaming around here with you? Probably not, but you're free to imagine there is one.

I feel like I need to reiterate this, Americans, we do not EVER turn anyone in for the reward money, because the reward money is a LIE!

There will be a reason they come up with for not giving it to you. Even Nancy, the snitch at McDonald's, who everyone in the world knows turned in Luigi Mangione, will not get a penny of the reward money. The reason she is getting is that she called 911 instead of the tip line.

But there are other reasons, like, the cops already had the info you gave them from "other sources". "Lots of other people" called in the same tip. The reward was "up to" the amount promised, so you're getting $1.50. You didn't do the proper paperwork before you gave the tip. And just about anything else you can think of.

They won't give any money out until the person is actually convicted, not just arrested. It could take years for a case to even get to court. If the suspect takes a plea deal, then did your info really lead to a "conviction"? Or by the time the suspect is convicted, suddenly the money is not there. Reward money? What reward money? It isn't like they have it sitting in a box waiting to hand it over to you after the conviction. No, after the conviction, now they need to try to find the amount they put up for the reward. And who's budget is that going to come out of? Who wants to put that money in your pocket instead of their own? Okay? Understand? Got it?

You never get the reward money!

the Justice League's identities all get publically leaked but before the dust has settled someone on twitter is like 'OMG i can't believe you guys are actually buying this obviously fake leak. look at this 'Billy Batson' person's birthday, he would only have been 11 years old when Captain Marvel started operating? how are you people so dumb'

immediately throws the whole thing into doubt. everyone going over the other ID information looking for other potential discrepancies. 'they expect us to believe Superman is some journalist called Clark Kent? they don't even look alike' and 'look at this Hal Jordan guy next to Green Lantern their facial structures aren't the same at all' and 'this Diana Prince woman has NO web presence, I don't think she's a real person'

'Bruce Wayne? c'monn how stupid do these peple think we are' etc etc

someone brings up that Wally West is clearly too young to have been operating as the Flash the entire time but then people from Central City are like no no that one might be legit, it's common knowledge locally that there's been more than one Flash.

this sparks the idea that perhaps the original Captain Marvel died or retired and was replaced with a new guy at some point. another whole group of people now scrutinising images of him trying to identify when the '''''switch'''' happened.

someone doing a deep local newspaper archive sweep turns up a photo of CC Batson accompanying a story abt his archaeology work, everyone agrees that Captain Marvel has his exact face, takes 0.2 seconds to join the dots that he officially died not long before Captain Marvel first appeared and Billy is his son. 2 Captain Marvels theory, previously dismissed as nonsense by most reasonable people, now looking very plausible.

whatever group leaked the identities absolutely steaming bcos their data is good damn it, everything in there is 100% factually correct and no-one is buying it ):<

Justice League and associates (initially sweating) now just pouring fuel on the fire. Oracle has made dozens of sockpuppet accounts to spread chaos and discord. official Flash account insisting that actually everyone is mistaken and he's definitely 100% been one guy this whole time. Lois Lane on twitter like 'do you guys think I wouldn't know if my husband was Superman'.

absolute pandemonium.

god, this is what youtube with ads is like now? two ads for starting the video? two ads for skipping to the middle of a video? two ads for leaving a video paused for a while and then pressing play again? two ads for beginning the video in the middle because it remembered your place and then another two ads for navigating back to the start?

Wizards in a fantasy setting are trying to invent audiobooks.

They tried enchanting the ink in a book so that the words would read themselves aloud but all the words in the book spoke at the same time at a volume that blew out the windows in the tower. They trained a tiny invisible spirit to read the words instead, but it was too tiny to turn the pages on its own, and because it was too tiny to have an imagination it read everything in a flat, emotionless voice.

They tried enchanting the book to come to life and read itself, and this seemed like it was working until around the hundredth page, when it became clear the book was changing the story it was telling to its own tastes. When pressed, the book said that it found the political intrigue in the story written on its pages boring, and that in its opinion the story should be about the witch and the baker, two side characters mentioned in one chapter of the story, fucking. The wizards begrudgingly agreed with this, but still considered this version of the spell a failure.

The "left brain is the logical half right brain is creative" theory has been debunked. It is now universally agreed by scientists that the human brain consists of a kuudere left hemisphere and her chūnibyō girlfriend the right hemisphere.

Error pages and missing kudos emails

AO3 uses a technique called rate limiting to help prevent activity that could threaten the Archive's stability or security. However, the way we usually do rate limiting isn't working, so we've had to temporarily change our approach while we work on a fix.

Unfortunately, this new, temporary approach makes it more likely you'll run into error pages while using AO3 normally. We're very sorry about that! If you get one of these errors, please wait a few minutes and you'll be able to continue using AO3.

We're also looking into reports that some users are not receiving kudos emails.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and we'll keep you updated.

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.
