Don’t mind me, I’m just casually sabotaging all my positive relationships with negative delusions because my life doesn’t feel real unless something dramatic and destructive is constantly occurring
If companies didn’t forcibly switch their free trial to a payment plan immediately after the free trial ends so that I have to be extremely cognizant in order to not be taken advantage of, I would actually do free trials and have a better chance of deciding to buy their subscription or whatever. But because I have to be on constant alert to make sure I cancel the free trial before they use my forcibly-given credit card information to charge me money without my consent, I never do the free trial that they believe will convince me to pay for their product.

Alright, Imma explain this in a way you shitters can understand. There are several types of immortality.
Immortal until killed: These are the ones where old age means nothing. Elves, vampires, and deities fall under this category.
Immortal until natural death: This is kinda the opposite of the first. They won’t die until they perish from age or some other natural cause.
Immortal hive mind: This is just a collection of creatures with a hive mind, so while you can kill the body, you can’t kill the mind.
Immortal under special conditions: These are like the immortals until killed, but you can only kill them in special ways. Think liches, Baldur, etc.
Immortal only in name: Sometimes immortal is given as a title to those who are extremely hard to kill. A title for a warrior like “Qentyl the Immortal” or some shit.
Immortal reincarnation: This one is pretty self explanatory, if they die, they come back as someone else.
Immortally returning: These are the ones who can be killed, but always come back. The best way to describe them is like the perpetuals in Warhammer 40,000. Vulkan and the like.
True Immortals: These are the worst immortals. These are typically the ones we think of when we think immortal, but we often do not think of the full ramifications of being a true immortal. A true immortal never dies, be it from natural or unnatural causes. Age will not kill them, nor will anything else. These are the ones that will outlive the heat death of the universe (look it up, it’s kind a scary). This is a fate worse than death.
Idiots: The idiots that confuse immortality and eternal youth. They are not one in the same.
True immortality is not as bad as it sounds, as long as you have access to multiversal travel.
Since I can auto-regenerate:
I’m basically an immortal who could only be killed in specific conditions.

Nah, that’s just being a troll. Like, that’s the weakness of a troll.
I know it’s really petty but if someone is doing a tiktok bit where they’re portraying multiple characters and they break the 180 rule I go absolutely feral
It’s the rule that if there are two characters in a scene— be it a movie, comic, tiktok, etc— there’s an invisible plane that the characters are on that the camera should only ever be on one side of.
aka, Character A should always be on the left side and Character B should always be on the right side.
It’s something that a lot of people understand intuitively without ever formally learning it, but it also means a lot of people aren’t really learning it.
WAIT YES THAT’S A PERFECT EXAMPLE
here, the 180 rule is broken intentionally for comedic effect! Even to someone that’s never Learned the rule, the change is jarring enough that’s it’s really obvious they switch sides (which is good because it’s the punchline)
Concept: block-pushing action puzzler about a legendary hero confronting the Evil Overlord where the entire game is notionally the final boss fight of an adventure that’s quickly summarised in the prologue. Each level is framed as a different phase of the boss fight; as it turns out, the Evil Overlord has lots and lots of phases.
And at midnight on Christmas Eve of next year, the ghost of past future perfect continuous appeared to Scrooge, and said “Yeah if you didn’t have a change of heart that kid would’ve been dead for like a year by Christmas”
honestly kinda unfortunate that the only spooky library aesthetic is the victorian fancy bookshelves dark academia one bcos like. ok here’s some library stories.
while i was at the university the library was undergoing a major refurbishment so for a little while the print journals were being stored temporarily down in the basement.
basically nobody ever consulted the print journals bcos 99% of stuff undergrads would be looking up is online these days so every time i went down there it was dead fucking silent & empty. you had to walk through what felt like several miles of empty basement to reach the collection, which was in a room w a photocopier shoved in the corner and a bunch of these:
u turn the handles to move these around (saves space) and every time you had to go and check the aisles first on the offchance that someone was in there so they wouldn’t get u know. Compacted.
many years ago i did a week’s work experience with the National Library of Scotland. here it is:
but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. it keeps going down the side of the bridge, like so:
i got a tour of the stacks while i was there. it’s floor after floor of this:
the bookshelves are made of metal & i was treated to the ‘fun fact’ that the shelves are, bizarrely, load bearing. for this reason they have to be constantly vigilant about fire hazards because even a relatively small fire could cause a bookcase to buckle from the heat, which in turn could cause the whole building to collapse in on itself like a house of cards.
BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn’t figure out why?? So I asked if he’d changed his hair and he was like “BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY”
With Netanyahu’s initial reaction to the video of the three women hostages, calling it propaganda etc, it’s good to remember that saving hostages is not even the least of israel’s priorities right now, and as it was summed up perfectly:
Rescued hostages who may contradict the narrative are a potential embarrassment.
Dead hostages are capital they can spend to further justify genocide.
Like they literally would rather not! And you have to think about this the next time you hear zionists advertise israel as the “safe haven” for Jewish people around the world
To everyone saying “Frankenstein is the doctor, that’s a picture of Frankenstein’s monster”:
Nuh uh
Source: I never make mistakes, therefore no mistake was made with this poll.
So to clarify. This poll IS ABOUT THE MONSTER. The monster who’s name is Frankenstein. This poll is not about any doctors of any kinds. Least of all ones that steal the names of monsters.
