Good People Doing Good Things -- Raheem & Casey

Today I have just two ‘good people’ I want to tell you about.  No, none of them gave a million dollars to charity, their acts were relatively small, but very important, nonetheless. The first story comes from Valdosta, Georgia, on a day when the temperature outdoors was over 100° F.  On Monday, August 12th, Raheem Cooper, a UPS driver, was making his usual deliveries when he noticed something…

Bus Passengers Deny Entry to Elderly Lady, But Compassionate Driver Teaches a Valuable Lesson

Empathy Unveiled: Bus Driver’s Lesson in Compassion Amid Urban Chaos In the heart of a bustling city, where the cacophony of urban life reverberates against unyielding concrete, stood an elderly woman at a weathered bus stop. Clutching a well-worn handbag and relying on a sturdy cane for support, she eagerly awaited the arrival of the bus, its doors releasing a mechanical sigh as it…

Hi! Dropping in to say I hope college isn't being too exhausting. Have a great weekend!

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for you kind words (as well as sorry for the late response😅), I’ve actually been dealing with a lot, mental health wise and etc. Some things happened in my academic/personal life that caused me to experience some severe burn out, which was part of the reason I had stopped posting as regularly for a while, it wasn’t great. However school will be finishing up and letting us out in two weeks and I have plans to cut out the more toxic people in life that have caused me this distress, which means in part that thankfully I should start posting regularly again, which I am really looking forward to because, I’ve really missed making content for y’all.

So yeah, in short thank you for your message random stranger, I hope you have a great week and you’ve made today a lot easier.🫶🫶🫶

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

Miqo'March 26, Faith

"I believe in people, in their ability to be selfless and kind. That they will stand together and help each other in times of hardship and sorrow. That they will rise to aid and protect each other in the face of oppression and tyranny. All it takes is just a little bit of hope."

The little girl offered her seat on the subway to her grandmother

A Little Hero: 8-Year-Old Girl’s Heart warming Gesture on the Subway In the midst of the bustling city subway, where hurried footsteps echo and people go about their daily routines, a truly heartwarming scene unfolded, leaving onlookers with smiles and warmth. It was a moment of pure kindness, orchestrated by an 8-year-old child brimming with innocence and compassion. As the subway train gently…

i get that some of you really got turned off by secondary school literature classes, i truly do, i was the bitch reading dorian gray for fun at home and spark notes-ing dickens in class but there's nothing inherently wrong with flowery language / imagery that isn't 'plain'

[cuntstable]

ultimately i do just fully believe that miquella is one million times more compelling as a character if you accept that he is mentally a permanent child as well. like a smart and well meaning child but still naive and selfish and lacking the critical thinking to consider larger far reaching implications of his actions. like all children are and do. like they gave the eternal 12 year old spoiled baby brother the ability to become a god and look what that lead to

Baffled by how the general perception of programming is that it's not a creative hobby, as if it doesn't involve making countless decisions based on your vision for the finished product just the same as any other art form >:U

When you live on computers like so many of us do, programming is literally bending the fabric of reality. It's MAGIC! You can do LITERALLY ANYTHING* with it!!! I cannot stress enough how much the world opens up when you realize what sorts of things you can write or use programs to do. Sure, you can make tools that are generally practical (and yeah, those can be really nice), but you can also make things that are really only useful to you, or not useful at all and just fun! It's not like you're limited to only making boring things you'll never use, no matter how dull and confusing online programming tutorials make the process seem.

((* Except tell when a program will run forever. You can't do that. You can do most other things though!!))

And even when you only have one specific thing you want to do, there are as many ways to implement it as there are people to give it a go. While there are generally accepted "good ways" of doing certain things, really, there are no hard and fast rules. If you write something that does what it needs to do, it's usually fine no matter how you accomplish it. I always end up putting a lot of myself into programs I write, and I imagine it's the same for other people. Programming is EXTREMELY creative, and artistic, and fun!!!

For such a popular thing, the public perception of it as a hobby is horrible, and I think that's just a shame. Not only is it not too hard for most people to learn (the usual worry), it's ALSO not boring (or for professionals only, for that matter)! Programming as an artistic hobby deserves better rep fr
