thoughts re: the new shounen jump app
First off, flat out, it’s completely worth two bucks a month. You get a sizable archive of professionally translated manga, you get new chapters of popular titles simul-posted on the same week they hit stands in Japan, and you get the warm, fuzzy feeling of legitimately supporting cartoonists instead of yoinking grainy scans of their work off of shady websites.
That being said: the app does crash a LOT. And I can’t bookmark pages, which bites.
uspol, shutdown, oh lord
"The Interior Department, meanwhile, planned to use the department’s email system to notify employees who would be furloughed and who will stay working — for example, watching over sensitive operations such as wildlife hatcheries and keeping clean water flowing to counties.
But that strategy seemed risky since federal employees are not allowed to check their email when the government is closed."
I think this is why the "dogs are just firm cats!!" line from Undertale cracks me the fuck up every time.
things I do when people call my name to ask me a question
make these following sounds:
- "weh?"
- "mou?"
- "bweh?"
- a meow
ELSE:
- process attention grabbing sound as low priority as a background task until it has been processed fully, then GOTO 10. Repeat if necessary.
things I don't do in this situation:
- say "yes? What would you like?" until i have done at least one of the above
- ever seem to tell the difference between THINKING I heard my name and actually being called.
Cleaning up a customer's PC, I made the mistake of leaving a tab open on Yahoo's home page. Only 1 minute later: malvertized. Sunuva...
I did it again to pin down the cause, & indeed it's Yahoo's ads breaking out, taking over the page, & loading scary messages that make it difficult to leave.
I can't stress enough, folks, that an ad blocker is Internet SECURITY software.
Can we take a minute to appreciate comrade Mariela Castro Espin? She's the director of Cuba's Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), a deputy to the National Assembly, a Communist, and an unwavering champion of LGBT liberation as part of Cuba's revolutionary project
Thanks in large part to her work, Cuba
