my closest companions are inhuman killing machines whose limbs end in knives and who possess an instinct to snap the neck of anything that falls into their terrible maws. they know only two things: the hunt, and snuggles

Ah! Allow me to explain: in my culture the word "electricity" has a colloquial usage meaning alternating current as provided by power grid infrastructure, and members of my culture infer this usage based on context. I hope this helps you understand my post better!

hm in hindsight i shouldn't have gone so literal in my translation because this jaunty little duet is a song in the well trod "haha being in love sure sucks sometimes but aint it great tho" genre but "pain" seems a little too strong in English so the tone is confused

i once socially met an internist and i was like (as is generally a good conversation starter with any medical professional) oh how did u decide to become that kind of doctor? and he was like i am a physician. shit dude really??? and here i thought u had a phd in organs n shit

the lyrics are slightly less awkward in Italian as "heartbeats" is "palpiti" (u kno leik "palpitation") and heart is "cor" (u kno leik "coronary") so it's not quite so redundant to put the two words so close together. i couldda gone less literal in my translation but whaaaaatever

i made an English language adaptation of this duet from the obscure opera Ricciardo e Zoraide by Rossini. You can't tell me fans of musicals wouldn't love opera like this if it was in English and wasn't treated like some super highbrow activity

the image is a hand drawn decision flowchart that resembles the sort seen in corporate settings, but all the text is handwritten and the lines and shapes hand drawn. The top of the decision tree reads "Do you carry a purse?" with the branches "No" and "Yes". The "No" branch leads to "OK". The "Yes" branch leads to the node "Most of your lady friends" with branch "menstruate" leading to "carry tampons," the "don't menstruate" branch leading to "carry slightly melted hard candies", and the "~equal" branch leading to "carry tampons and candy"

i feel like people fundamentally misunderstand when "taking a third option" works. like with "choose gay rights or economic stability" those two things are not actually related. payment processors who say "remove porn or we drop your business" are telling you a direct cause and effect

q: what will u do when payment processors tell u no porn or shut down?
a: unlike the cowardly itch.io i bravely choose neither, which is what they should have done
q: how do u keep processing payments?
a: my principled stand will magically cause the payment processors to give up without a fight
