treat yourself like you would treat your favorite character
As a fanfiction author I think this is a bad idea.

Considering Plankton was able to create his wife Karen, who seems to have all the artificial intelligence of IBM’S Watson, he could have had a pretty promising career in computer science, yet he chose to manage a fast food restaurant.
There’s not enough job openings in the computer science field.
Also it was a ploy to get revenge on Mr Krabs for betraying him

If the multiverse theory is true, then there’s a universe where it isn’t.
Multiverse theory doesn’t cover paradoxical situations
Except in the universe where it does
i’m having an aneurysm
Let me solve this conundrum. If multiverse is true, then there are universes where nobody ever considered the thought that there may be more universes and would never develop ways to travel multiverse or come up with fiction that involve multiverse.
This means series like homestuck, zelda and dragonball z would not be nearly as convoluted as they are in ours. So, in a sense, multiverse would not exist within that universe.

David Dunning, along with Justin Kruger, published a paper called Unskilled and unaware of it: How difficulties in recognizing one’s own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments. The paper describes what is now known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, eloquently stated by Dunning himself:“In many cases, incompetence does not leave people disoriented, perplexed, or cautious. Instead, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, buoyed by something that feels to them like knowledge.”
and this is why 15-year-olds on tumblr feel qualified to make the rules, gatekeep, lecture, and police everyone else. they’re at that first peak, where realizing there’s a problem and someone oughtta solve it looks like all there is to know.

Listen, I love media and stories and interesting characters… but fictional characters are not more important than real people. If your dedication to fandom outstrips your ability to be decent to existing humans… you have an actual, serious problem and need to take a step back. As in, seek help and remove yourself from online fandom until you can participate without becoming a bully. Media is not a ‘safe space’ for you if you’re using it as an excuse to abuse others.

What would the horse version of long pork be?
I’m a freelance designer who works from home. I have a strict ‘no weekend work’ policy to preserve my sanity, though in special cases and by prior arrangement I can. Most of my clients are fine with this as they’re not working then anyway, but I have found that clients who are themselves working from home tend to forget the concept of business hours. So I like to explain this at the start to avoid awkwardness.
Me: I don’t work weekends, unless I agree to under special circumstances.
Client: OK, fair enough. So how about we make a special circumstance now, where I can contact you whenever I want to get things done quickly?
Me: …
