Every day I see someone complaining about the new live action adaptation of their favorite books. I see complaints about missing side characters and location or changes in the exact words they say. Every complaint is about missing minor details that don't change the theme or ending of the story. Even when it is an excellent portrayal of the book these people will find something to complain about.

I recommend two things to those people. First, look up the meaning of the word adaptation. And second,respectfully,SHUT THE HELL UP YOU UNGRATEFUL HEATHENS

If you bother to watch an older adaptations of books you will see they had zero input from the author or anyone who truly understood the source material. I have seem movies so far from the book they're based on that it's unrecognizable. I mean that literally. Everything from the main characters to how it ends would be completely changed until it didn't even look like a fanfic. I'm talking about absolutely disappointing disaster film. And the series where far worse. With each season more of the story was lost.

I know it's still not perfect and it probably never will be. Stories always change with retellings and thats all this is. But it is so much better now. I know I'm being dramatic but I'm also not exaggerating. If you don't believe it go read and watch for yourselves.

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.

surviving the current age of internet means saying no to subscriptions and premiums for basic features. you must endure the inconvenience of not being able to use every server emoji in discord. you must build the patience to find alternatives like NewPipe so you can listen to music on youtube while your phone screen sleeps. do Not give these corporations your limited disposable income. tiktok not letting me view videos on my phone without downloading the app? i will outlast tiktok and the execs will be remembered as dull,disgusting capitalists. listen to me, listen to me. if you do not know how to pirate shows from hulu, learn. if you can't pirate it, it is not worth the money to rent it. please i'm on my hands and knees. do not accept this form of internet.

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?

Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.

Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?

Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
