Time zones

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4

Firstly: North America. Why? Canada isn’t too bad, the lines are just a bit off, apart from stupid Island of Newfoundland that decided to be -3½ hours when it is clearly all in -4. But generally, not too bad. Again, most of America isn’t that bad, with the lines going a bit wonky, until you look at Alaska. Alaska is almost all in -10 or -11, but no, they just had to be in -9. Hawaii is also wrong, but they get the benefit of the doubt for spanning three time zones and just picking one, apart from the fact that some of the islands are in -12, so they could have picked -11 to use the centre one. The Aleutian Islands are worse, which span +12 to -11, but are in the time zone of -10. America, stop trying to be special, just follow the lines. Then we move down to Mexico (I know it's more in Central America, but geographically it makes more sense to include it here), which again, for the most part is OK. The lines are a bit off, but its fine, except for that tiny little eastern bit that claims to be -5 when it is clearly -6. The rest of Central America is great, with an honourable mention to Panama and Costa Rica for the perfect split down the time zone, and a questioning look at the Dominican Republic who are claiming to be in -4 instead of -5.

I come bearing a gift. Imagine Lighter getting married to his s/o. A slight part 2 from my last ask.

I don’t think ZZZ will ever show how people in the Outer Ring celebrate weddings, but this is Lighter. He would want a simple and sweet wedding for him and his fiancé with all their close friends and family. Of course we don’t know anything about Lighter’s family (ZZZ devs drop Lighter’s lore soon), but we do know that he does think of the Sons of Calydon as his family. If you didn’t ask the girls first, Lighter would have Caesar as his best woman/maid-of-honor with Lucy, Burnice and Piper as his bridesmaids, he can include Belle as a bridesmaid too. If you did ask first, then Billy is of course his best man because he was Lighter’s predecessor, Lucy’s boars, and Wise if he asked, are his groomsmen with Big Daddy being his parental figure to walk him down the aisle. And Casa is the wedding officiant because she’s the mayor.

You have your family and friends as your bridesmaids and groomsmen with your parents happily walking you down the aisle. They love Lighter as family, bad past, scars and all, because they know he’ll always be loyal to you and love you till death do you apart. They brought a ton of wedding gifts.

The day of the wedding was beautiful and had no drama at all because the Sons of Calydon, especially Billy, had threatened everyone who dared to ruin yours and Lighter’s wedding with death. You two said your wedding vows, Lighter almost cried as he recalled the moment you accepted him despite his past and that he’ll love you forever because of that and you actually crying after telling him that he was the best person you’ll ever know. The instant the marriage was sealed with a kiss, there were cheers, happy tears and multiple congratulations from everyone. Lighter and you were now a happy married couple and the world felt brighter than ever for Lighter.

(Idk if I should do a reception part. I just Lighter to have a happy ending)

THIS TIME I PROMISE I WONT ADD ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS IS JUST REALLY SWEET ARGSHSKSBSKAH

everyone else enjoy because i’m already eating this up and giggling, kicking my feet hehe

Thoughts on the incident?

[anotherpapercut]

apparently my partners 19 year old sisters told him that fireflies by owl city is "embarrassing" and that young people don't like it

I just want to establish right now that this is a pro fireflies by owl city blog and if you don't want to get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs with Adam Young then you're fucking dead to me and you should just block me right now

[larrythefloridaman]

I am not a prismdani guy in the sense that I dont think that could ever have a happy ending even in theory without altering or disrespecting their characters in some essential way and i dont think a fully tragic and fucked up ending for a character like dani with no light at the end of the tunnel really suits cpuk's tone or themes in the grand scheme of things

but i am in the sense that i understand and am compelled by it in like a horror movie way.

In a 'dear god dani get the hell out of there' way.

In a 'hey that scene in orange looked almost like a date before the arm thing, (the most flagrantly horrifying red flag yet at that point and what made most of us fully turn on her after some hesitation about fully condemning her when she gave cobalt a crisis instead of advice and shoved folk and treuse around before the Kicker that was her killing crimson onstage) that, as a flashback, was immediately preceded by Crimson (literally a walking red flag that somethings deeply wrong in Prism's metaphorical house, Noone Really Acts Like That For No Reason,) asking what Prism's been doing and saying and followed within said flashback by Quadratic (Mr. Character Arc Revolves Around Healing From A Relationship With A Character He Goes On To Explicitly Compare Prism To) carefully soft-confronting Prism so as not to make a scene while checking in with Dani to make sure shes okay and to let Prism know he has his eyes on her and isnt afraid to bluntly and unambiguously leak information to the audience she wants to keep secret while theyre on camera so she better not pull any shit' way.

In a 'the butchest girl twitter can handle without getting scared and me, the sunshiney eccentric femme she serves and obeys onesidedly like a dog, her own character subsumed into an aesthetically cute complimentary nonthreatening opposition to mine :) (dani cannot bring herself to admit shes grown afraid of setting her off or disappointing her or disobeying and being made to feel that oppressive crush of obligation as Prism manipulates her, struggling to realize and process the idea that Prism is a threat to her because an Abuser™️ (as per popular cultural portrayal) is supposed to be an obviously evil physically threatening bastard mcbadguy not a 5'0" nothing bible camp counselor that uses pressure, guilt, information control and other such tactics to creep into your thoughts to rewire your behavior to her liking if you don't have the means to reject what she imposes on you.) look at us we share a character flaw we're foils arent we charming :)' kinda way.

hewo

my phone got stolen.

...myeahhh.

i just. could not be bothered nor muster the strength to even try to explain the situation after the fact on here. just worked thru the problems that arise with it, and thats that. getting a new phone and trying my darndest to gain a fraction back of what i lost

[eroticcannibal]

Idk why im reading slang discourse on esl subreddits but as a native English speaker, it is perfectly acceptable to use informal English in "official" communication (work, education) if whoever is higher up does it. In English culture specifically, *not* mirroring informality can be seen as quite arrogant and standoff-ish, which is worse than appearing a bit unproffesional. This is more true the more north/rural you go.

This might not apply in London, because Londoners arent people. Or in America, because america is weird.

[sonknuxadow]

sorry mild hater moment incoming but . idk what it is with s/onadow fans (not all of them. just a very loud subsection) specifically and making every little thing shadow does about s/onadow even if its the biggest reach imaginable and immediately going "omg s/onadow" every time hes confirmed to be in some upcoming thing . or being so obsessed with the ship and letting it warp their perceptions of things so much to the point where they act like every little thing is a hint from sega that theyre in love for real. and they cant admit that its not canon or that just because they choose to interpret certain things romantically doesnt mean that thats actually what sega/the writers intended even if theres an obvious non so/nadow explanation for it

before people take this the wrong way i dont hate the ship i dont think that its completely baseless or that everyone who likes it is wrong and annoying or anything . but some of you look like this if im being honest

[maxadieu]

hi! this may be a weird ass question but I saw your tags on the “I hate virus” post and got very curious! Why do you like virus? Do you have interesting facts about them to share? (idk how to explain but I enjoy learning new things on tumblr when passionate people explain them lol)

HII HII THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!

i think viruses are very lovely things and i like them a lot!! of course i'm not an expert on them, but i'll list some resources if you want to learn more!!

first of all, the post is right about the fact that viruses aren't alive. but also, can we appreciate that first? even if they were only bad (which they aren't), they aren't alive and have no cognizance of doing any bad. isn't it cool that these things can even exist, and not only exist, but affect all living organisms?

which can actually be a very good thing! while the post says that their only purpose is to fuck with us, that's not true at all! not only are they incapable of ill-intent, but also in a lot of ways they are extremely beneficial to us! (and there are sooo many viruses that are in our body that don't do anything at all to us!)

because they affect every organism, and viruses are everywhere, it affects things that are harmful to us. we have a gut biome filled with viruses in a similar way it's filled with bacteria.

which means, while there are viruses that negatively affect us, there are many that aid us by killing bad bacteria! if we didn't have viruses there might be an overabundance of well, everything. i dont think we'd be here without them

they don't always kill mindlessly either, otherwise they wouldn't have something to keep them replicating. this Kurzgesagt video goes more in depth about it, and they link their sources! i'll also link a lecture about it if you're interested!

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)

[stemmmm]

yeah i dont know a lick of code and i know programming is hard but i know exactly what i want to do and im really smart so i can definitely make a game

*the first piece of code i got out of following a youtube tutorial doesn't run*

[elytrafemme]

ok obviously i understand why this isnt the rhetoric because people want people to turn out to elections so nobody is going to say this but can we all just agree to cut the shit and acknowledge that voting especially by mail in ballot is insanely difficult. the amount of issues i have had trying to register to vote and now trying to find my fucking ballot is genuinely ridiculous. and nobody tells you what time you have to send anything by so i am trying to find a ballot that i might not even be able to eligibly send by the time of the election because nobody on earth has ever considered that i wasn't just innately born with the knowledge of when to send this by and if you don't explicitly tell me when you want my ballot how am i supposed to know when to send my ballot. i don't know why everyone i know is like number one voter having the easiest time with this maybe i'm just stupid? but this is like. so unfathomably bad. to me. is it really that hard to make the instructions clear and in one place.

[guinevereslancelot]

most fucked up thing at my new job is there's only zero calorie sweeteners at the coffee station in the break room. three different kinds of zero calorie sweetener but no regular sugar because the assumption is that literally everyone is on a diet?

[veilk]

one time i tried that "mentally ask yourself if anyone else is in there" thing & i didn't get a Direct response but the song stuck in my head (which i Do Not control) would change and the new repeating lyric would function as a response to whatever question i asked. so that was kind of fucked up & i don't know if i'm supposed to do anything about it. it just kinda sounds ridiculous to say "there are entities in my head attempting to communicate with me via song lyrics"... i realize now i don't actually have a specific question i just wanted to tell someone about this sorry

THAT'S. HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES... yeah i have no idea what's up with that either brains are weird

[theygender]

I may be considering the crime of... Getting a business degree 🤢
