Here’s something I’ve always wondered but haven’t seen mentioned – If someone summoned Alcor to tell them all about the Transcendence itself, would he have to tell them about his involvement in the Transcendence, or would he be able to avoid that? Assuming he didn’t just refuse the deal, of course

Alcor learned how to twist his words from the best. He can probably get around telling people the truth and nothing but the whole truth, like the sneaky little demon he is.

no offence but i truly hate graphic sex scenes in tv shows / movies like what’s the point it’s just awkward to watch let’s move on w the plot instead of having to listen to breathing, wet lip sounds, and fake moans for what seems like forever

New Macbooks and Imacs will brick themselves if they think they’re being repaired by an independent technician

mostlysignssomeportents:

Last year, Apple outraged independent technicians when they updated the
Iphone design to prevent third party repair, adding a “feature” that
allowed handsets to detect when their screens had been swapped (even
when they’d been swapped for an original, Apple-manufactured screen) and
refuse to function until they got an official Apple unlock code.

Now, this system has come to the MacBook Pros and Imac Pros, thanks to
the “T2 security chip” which will render systems nonfunctional after
replacing the keyboard, screen, case, or other components, until the a
proprietary Apple “configuration tool” is used to unlock the system.

Apple does not tell its customers that the computers it sells are
designed to punish them for opting to get their property repaired by
independent technicians; the details of the T2 came from a leaked
service manual.

I’m both amused and furious that people are only just now beginning to realize Apple is one of the most terrible, sinister companies in terms of leading the way in ultimate corrupt capitalism. they literally pull every dishonest trick in the book, and make new ones.

the only thing “innovative” about Apple is how they keep coming up with more and more ways to screw people over.

🎃👻🎃🍁🍂It’s October folks that means it’s time to…..

get your fucking flu shots!! 🎃🎃🎃

and remember: you cannot contract the flu from your flu shot. the off feeling that MAY come from it is your body’s immune response and is far more preferable to having the ACTUAL FLU

Also, if you have an immune system issue (I have lupus and another chronic illness) you may still be able to get your shot. Ask a medical professional that you trust and/or do some research. 

It’s super important to maintain herd immunity for folks who can’t get a flu shot. 

Vaccines are good for you, do not make the ghost of Captain America’s Disappointed Face come in the night to haunt you.

Depending on your state your Flu Shot may be covered under Medicaid!  I got mine for $2! And a Lollipop to boot!

CVS does flu shots for free! 

I think a bunch of other stores like it provide free flu shots, too.

fuck minimalism. if you dont have trinkets and knickknacks on every surface you’re not doing it right.

the point of this post is not about junk or collectables!!!! its about the 7 bottles i own for no reason other than i think they look neat!!! its about the glass i found on the beach and pocketed because its pretty!! hell is an endless white expanse with a single white chair and white table with a single succulent on it!!!!!

Magpies are very intelligent birds, as evidenced by the fact that one clearly has a blog.

Happy Birthday TAU; thanks for making grad school bearable and introducing me to some of my bestest friends.

Henry looked up to see four highly expectant sets of eyes on him.

“You’re not feeling funny are you?” Dipper asked.

Henry thought about it.

“My teeth hurt and I’d really rather not finish this bag.”

“BUT YOU GOT TO,” Grenda pointed out.

Candy nodded. “We need to know for science.”

Henry sighed, then leaned his head back and dumped the rest of the bag into his mouth before he could talk himself out of it.

Everyone waited with bated breath for a long minute, except for Henry, who was trying not to puke from shoving sugar powder into his throat without any water.

Finally, Mabel asked, “Are you seeing the dogs?”

Henry shook his head. 

“What about the Rainbow Kingdom?”

“Afraid not.”

Mabel grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him in a way that she thought was gentle but just jostled his abused stomach more. “WHERE IS AOSHIMA?”

“Mabel, honey, I’m going to throw up if you don’t stop.”

Dipper gently pulled his sister back. “We gotta face the facts Mabel. Henry is Smile Dip-proof.”

“I’m… Henry, I’m so sorry.”

“I think I’ll be okay Mabel.” But still she looked utterly dejected so he went on. “But perhaps Stan isn’t?”

Mabel’s face broke into a wicked grin, to match the one that her brother, the literal demon, also wore. 

“Oh that’s an excellent idea. Grenda, can you and Candy hold Stan down?”

“YES BECAUSE I DON’T SKIP ARM DAY.”

Candy glared at Grenda. “We’ve talked about this before; different gym routines work for different people-”

The four of them hurried out of the room, leaving Henry alone in peace and quiet. Since there was no way he’d be getting up for the next hour without puking, he might as well take the rare opportunity to steal the TV for himself. Now where was that remote…?

“I’m over here!” said the remote from inside the couch cushions.

“Thank you.”

(he didn’t remember the Food Network ever being so…. technicolor. And none of the food looked even remotely able to be eaten by humans. Weird.)
