«Gustave is a borrower. While searching for a new home with his kind, he is saved by a human, their greatest danger.
It is there, within the walls of this immense manor they decided to move in, that an unlikely bond of trust is about to bloom.»

advice that has literally saved and improved my life
"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten
spent MONTHS looking for this stupid tumblr post bcuz i constantly want to reference it and it wouldn't come up no matter what i searched despite it being (what i thought) was a popular well-known tumblr post only to find that the original blog turned off reblogs and deactivated and that it only got 12k notes total. but im posting it anyway to preserve its legacy
I don't know. I just don't know
It took me a solid thirty seconds to realize that Phragmites was probably the genus name of the plants in the picture and not, like, an ancient Greek warrior waiting in the marshes to attack.
ALTLeast Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis). They do this fairly often, straddle reeds as a spot and catch fish and insects without having to fly.
recently my elderly shattered-up phone started letting me charge it to 107% which I've been using to get let's just say a little bit extra out of it on long days
added benefit that this makes it crazy warm and soft so I use it to warm up my coat when it's cold outside
to be honest with you it's swollen as fuck and that's why I'm rocking with it
Swollen batteries are incendiary explosives.
this one's just a phone
if it was a bomb and not a phone I couldn't make a call on it, but I can because it's a phone, although it will be to the fun department instead of the fire department
respectfully, ma'am, phone and bomb are not mutually exclusive descriptors
I'm not gatekeeping I'm just speaking from my presently lived experience
When you start speaking from your formally lived experience, be sure to let us know!
I already live every day with undue formality and noble grace
I'm not a technician so I don't really see how this applies to me
I genuinely can't tell if you're being stupid on purpose
when you feel that way it's a sign that I'm being smart
OP your phone is literally about to explode.
we've been over this, it's just puffy and I poke it with twigs when it gets too hot
my mental health is splendid and my phone is fantastic why in the world would I kill myself
Oh god it's the shark post all over again, but this time OP COULD FUCKIN DIE OR BE MAIMED HORRIBLY
that's really not on the table
reading earlier in this thread, you will find that it is not a bomb but a phone which is being poked with twigs, and only under certain circumstances
Hey, I’ve worked in IT longer than anyone else, and it’s totally fine to keep using your phone this way! This is because phones are not bombs so they can’t explode.
as someone who doesn't work in IT, I agree, which creates a consensus across the full spectrum of possible human experiences
My phone nearly exploded (the battery was so swollen I could see the inside of the phone.) you should get your phone looked at
But its a phone those don't explode
They do when the battery is swollen
you're thinking of bombs, easy mistake to make, but I addressed this earlier in the thread
OP do you have a will or any assets to even need one?
my will is frankly tremendous and I'd go as far as saying it's one of my strongest assets
You should substitute your phone insurance for health insurance
we have universal telephone insurance here so that's not strictly necessary
You know I prayed that this is just a Tohsaka Rin RP blog but it isn't and OPs phone is about to go off like a Mappa Animator.
several studios worked on fate but mappa is not one of them
I heard if it starts to charge past 110% they'll send ninjas after you. Might want to get it repaired and save yourself some ninja battles.
As a long time jokemaker and internet troller, let me set something straight. Sit down and get ready to do a learning, Tumblr ☝️
The funny thing about this thread is that a phone battery doesn't actually go to 107% when it's failing, because the battery percentage indicator is measuring subtle changes in voltage. OP's battery, if it was actually failing in this way, might stall at 100% before visibly draining to its actual capacity after some time as a more generic sign of the battery failing, but gas buildup inside of a battery isn't going to make it hold more power in a meaningfully usable way, and of course nothing inside of a phone would allow it to measure and display this inflated (badumtsk) capacity
So, it's bad bait! If a battery's capacity could be so easily expanded by inflating it with more power, this would be a desirable product with lots of useful applications in bald dog grooming
Despite this you are still poking the battery with twigs, right?
I've been dunking it in water making my neighbour's dog suck the bubbles out with a straw
if someone challenges you to a duel just throw the phone on the ground and run
why would I give them my phone. then they'd be able to call me and beat me to shit
How can they call you if they have your phone?
they'd just call it and then answer when it rings
I have finally found a recipe that tastes just like the incredible chocolate chip cookies our American neighbour brought us for Christmas 1988. I'd never had one before and they were the best cookies I'd ever eaten, I've been chasing that taste all my life. I'm so happy.
For those asking, I used this recipe :
https://handletheheat.com/bakery-style-chocolate-chip-cookies/
I only put the dough in the fridge for a bit, maybe half an hour? and kept the bowl in there between batches. I'm thoroughly satisfied.
Also used vanilin sugar instead of vanilla extract as that was all I had, and three small eggs instead of two large ones.
