Been reading the tombs of atuan on my breaks at work and I am so fuckingggg hoooooked this series rules
in the medieval times they did not have the colloquial phrase of “gooning”, instead they would say an individual was “braiding enough rope to hang the king’s army”, a phrase that demonstrated their respect for the strength and power of the chronic masturbator while also acknowledging their inherent wickedness

DASHBOARD UNFUCKER V1.0
as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter's. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site's actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.
HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.
here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn't received the update:
it's hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it's also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it's a good fix.
the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit "create new script", and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
With about 45 million birds lost from UK skies in the past 50 years, Knott said there was both a moral and legal responsibility to help wildlife recover. “We need to find ways to welcome wildlife into our everyday lives whether those be towns, cities, or indeed rural areas and help them.”
Tom Stewart, from the British Trust for Ornithology, agreed. “We shouldn’t think of birds as an enemy,” he said. “We should think of them as species that we have a responsibility to protect.”
And that, said Knott, could bring benefits for people too. “We know that people that go and spend time in nature, have access to nature [or] rich green space, tend to live longer, healthier, happier lives,.” he said.
they should invent a profound love between two people that doesnt involve the power and chance of doing profound hurt

Every tabletop system I've ever played was better than D&D
D&Ds cultural niche is to get new people interested in tabletop. It's only upwards from here.
this is true but also D&D sucks as an introduction to tabletop. it's genuinely one of the worst possible games a player could start with. it:
- is extremely expensive, expecting you to buy three separate $30 rulebooks and pay a subscription fee if you want the online bookkeeping service
- offers no meaningful support to GMs whatsoever, giving them a huge workload and making everyone who starts with D&D permanently wary of any facilitator role in any other game ever.
- has a horribe play culture stretching back decades that heavily discourages any frank out-of-character discussions about what the table wants from the game as 'metagaming'
- as of 5e, straight-up lies about what it is and contains ('three pillars' is a crock of horseshit innit)
and all these things not only make D&D a bad game, but they make it an actively detrimental introduction to the hobby, because people who start with D&D interalize all this shit as being true about 'TTRPGS' and so either refuse to approach other TTRPGs or, when they do, approach it with the weight of all this hanging on them
