“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take
boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus
allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But
an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two
and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten
dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore
until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in
Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the
thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could
afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his
feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford
cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time
and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”
“Mad scientists” in fiction are never testing and verifying hypothesises through rigorous methodology and peer review. They built a tool to destroy the world so they are more like “mad engineers.”
So garlic is a natural anticoagulant, but then why would vampires be allergic to it?
Hear me out:
What if vampires made up all the stuff about them being allergic to garlic so that their victims would eat it, thinking it would ward off vamps, but instead it makes their blood easier to drink!
Because it doesn’t clot!
This has really been getting to me recently. Have I uncovered their master conspiracy or am I going insane?
Haliya was a warrior goddess who would wear a mask of gold to hide her beauty.
In Philippine Mythology, Haliya was the name of a lunar goddess. She was said to be so beautiful that the sea goddess Bakunawa fell in love with her and sought her affections.
Discord servers are great but all it takes is one ‘That Guy’ to ruin it.
By ‘that guy’, I’m talking about the kind of people who aren’t necessarily breaking any rules but are still unpleasant to be around because they make every conversation about them or spam the chat with some “hilarious” meme only they find funny while people are trying to have a conversation. And you can tell the admin wants to ban their ass but doesn’t want to go through the inevitable tantrum and/or tumblr drama for it.
took us about 4 unnecessary arguments and 2 people leaving to ban our That Guy
we made two new rant channels for that guy and he would still rant in main about the dumbest shit because nobody cared enough to go to the other rant rooms. That guy was finally banned after arguing with over half the server at the same time
a single glance at the beak shape of the average furby dissuades notions of them being primary scavengers. they do not have the tools necessary for stripping meat and cracking bone. however, forward facing eyes could still indicate a primarily-herbivorous omnivore, as we see in many primates. the jury, as often in nature, remains out.
