i want to make one of those tumblr communities for only the most unreadable books. no rf kuang. no sjm. no ali hazelwoods or magnolia parks or john grisham or percy jackson. i want recommendations of the books only you and four other freaks have reviewed and with an average rating of 3.27

[witheredbonnie]

People be like "but i wanna play the games/read the books/watch the movie" today's youth has never heard of piracy or the used market

LITERALLY????

Callback to when I was in school and the internet there was just really, really bad

(shout out to all the schools out there who attempted to block out all internet and cell service in the halls in an attempt to keep students off their damn phones, but only succeeded in tossing out a very very large and messy net of dead zones across the entire building)

And so every single day on the bus going to school I would be frantically "select all"-ing copy pasting fics off of ff.net, chapter by painful chapter bc there was no "show all chapter" button to use, into my Google docs so I could read them in school without fear of the page reloading and my precious stories being lost

[ID: Screenshots from The Prisoner, Number Two (Leo McKern) sitting in a round egg chair, leaning forward and says "He makes even putting on his gown seem a defiance." getting up from the chair, "I want with with a whole heart, body and soul." END]

[ID: Different scene in the same room, of Number Two speaking to Number Six (Patrick MacGoohan)

1. Standing, smiling "That's excellent! I am glad you're here. You really are a model." 2. Sitting deep in the round chair, somewhat withdrawn looking "Don't worry, Number Six, you'll be cured. I'll see to it. 3. Number Six raising an eyebrow as he takes a sip from a teacup. (Number two continuing) "If you have so much as a bad dream 4. Number Two again "You'll comb whimpering to tell it to me. 5. Whimpering. END]

[ID: Number Two sitting cross legged in the round chair, dimissing his Bulter with "Thank you. That will be all. Number Six sits on his desk. END]

new gender loading...

[Image IDs in alt text!]

pasdreamian!

(pronounced pause-dream-ian)

pasdreamian is defined as a gender that was felt or identified with in a dream and now is part or all of the user's gender!

i.e. you had a dream wherein you identified as pupgender and now you identify as pasdreamian because that experience is still a part of your gender! (hope that makes sense lol)

After LITERALLY 30 years, I have found a movie I recorded off USA's UP All Night, but the tape ran out, so I have NEVER seen the last fifteen minutes or so.

It is a dumb DUMB movie, but having that missing ending has bugged the SHIT out of me for literal decades. This was an obscure, nothing of a movie, that probably aired this one time, has never been on anything other than VHS, not even on streaming...look, if you know me, you know if *I* couldn't find it...

I’ve seen people freaking out that the Internet Archive’s various sites (archive.org, wayback machine, etc) will cease to exist following the recent court ruling.

I’m a librarian and I have been following this case and while I’m incredibly disheartened and concerned by the ruling, I’m here to assure you that archive.org will continue to exist as a website. And the Internet Archive will continue to exist as an organization.

The court ruling only applies to some of the material hosted on archive.org and open library. Namely, books that are still under copyright. A ton of what is currently hosted on these sites is no longer protected by copyright. And anything that is no longer protected by copyright under US law (IA is based in the US) can be legally reproduced as much as they want. None of that content will be affected.

So yes, absolutely download and backup the things that are personally important to you if you’re concerned about losing access to those. But don’t panic that the whole site is going to shut down. That’s simply not going to happen, and it doesn’t help the situation.

The Internet Archive has already announced that they’re going to appeal to decision. We’re still fighting this! And you can help! Donate money to cover court costs (IA is a non-profit), tell your representatives to support legislation that supports libraries, and sign the petition at BattleForLibraries.com.

Idk why every time I have a project that involves using the Register of the Great Seal for something even slightly more complex than looking up a single isolated charter, I always have a lovely plan where I think it will only take me a couple of hours to go in, check the index, and take the numbers I need down. And then I end up having to skimread the whole damn volume.

So hows it going 😀

TMAGP 7 is a WILD ride

I love the internet archive <3

[dennisboobs]

Was considering buying (ridiculously overpriced) Sunny blu-rays to (very, very legally) rip them (for Personal Use archival purposes), decided to test on a blu-ray I already own, realized my external drive only reads DVDs, successfully ripped a DVD, but then was sent down a rabbit hole trying to see if I could use my (again, very, very legally) hacked PS3 to rip the .iso (I can) since it is indeed a blu-ray player with an attached PC-adjacent machine...

Long story short. If you see me spending $70 on seasons 1-5 on DVD and 6 on blu-ray, no you didn't, but also expect a 1080p season 6 bloopers upload in the near future.

definitely not from me, though. no way. i would never do that. i'm not a pirate. i'm just a good ole upstanding wiki admin.

hi catie ❤️

I’m sure you’ve answered this before but where do you watch the older races?

thank you and thank you for your lovely gifs im still emotional about Germany 2009

Hallo :D

I watch older races on F1TV! But you can also watch races on websites like overtakefans. I usually just watch races on F1TV, just to make sure the footage is good quality y'know, but overtakefans sometimes has the pre-race show included as well(which I'm so in love with bcs you learn so much history and context), so I always check for that as well whenever I watch races. I think I mentioned this before but I accidentally have 2 F1 accounts(I was very stupid with subscriptions), and the secondary one is just the archived races and not the live stuff, so if any mutuals would like to watch older races, pls hmu :DD

I am also still very emotional about Germany 2009, I was like actually crying over it last night LOL. That was such a good post-race as well, so many good Mark clips!! Also a very interesting race as well, it was very technical and strategy based. I think 2009 is a very interesting season strategy-wise, you just have a lot to consider(i.e. all the different tires, fuel strategy, KERS, etc)

this is your monthly reminder that hacking your 3ds and downloading old games is totally radical and people should do it more often
