Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned
"Irish doesn't have a word for please, you have to say if it be your will" buddy do I have news for you about "please"
"Irish doesn't have a word for hello you have to use a shorthand religious blessing" buddy do I have news for you about "goodbye"!
"In Polish the word for car is that which walks by itself" BUDDY what do you think an AUTOMOBILE is?
you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

All words are made up. Don't lament the creation of new words or "slang". Embrace it.
Hey, in case you didn't know it: Ao3 allows you to make bookmarks private.
And, in case you didn't realize it: if you're going to give the fics you bookmarked a letter grade, you SHOULD make your bookmarks private.
Actually, genuinely though, in case you didn't know it: Ao3 shows authors all the tags and notes you make on any fic you publicly bookmark. Your notes are visible when I scroll through the public bookmarks on my works.
The only way an author has to stop seeing this is to mute you, so it's kind of shitty to use bookmarks to say how you wished the author had killed both parts of the main pairing instead of giving them a happy ending (a real thing that has happened on two of my fics).
Authors can see a count of private bookmarks but not the notes or tags on those bookmarks, so if you have some commentary about hatereading your NOTP or want to make a note that the concept is good but the execution is poor, that's an inside thought and should stay in the private bookmarks.
If you bookmarks are public not only the author but anyone that goes to your page can see it and your commentary.
