Pics in sigs and gifs in avatars can get a little noisy pretty when browsing.

I know that movie, it's the first Winona and Tim Burton colabs, you should watch Edward Scissor Hand, Winona was gorgeous in that movie, the first time I recognized the concept of beautiful woman is when the first time I saw Winona in Dracula, I was in early elementary school at that time. And that concept of beauty pretty much intact with me till now.

I admire your attempt to intellectualise your first big tiddy goth gf crush.

rant: really regret adding my employee to my steam, during my gameplay one of my employee chat me asking "how is bannerlord sir?", in a good intention of course but I feel like I'm not giving him a good example, I already put 15 hours so far, I should consider making two account later, if not I feel like my gaming schedule been observed most of the time, it can be a boomerang.

I regret adding people all the time. It's like, yeah, they're cool, but then they start messaging me outside of where I know them and I find myself setting myself to Invisible just so they don't message me and can't badger me about what I'm doing.

I know I'm just being an anti-social baby, though.

The scarf I wore was probably worse than nothing because it kept coming off which meant I had to have my hands near or touching my face. I couldn't get toilet paper which I already ranted about in the covid thread but I'll rant again because *&$% these stupid *&^$$*$ hoarders.

Scarves are pretty low tier. If you can, buy a cotton face mask instead.

The best masks were constructed of two layers of heavyweight "quilters cotton" with a thread count of at least 180, and had thicker and tighter weave.

There's likely someone local who's been sewing handmade masks.

We have some masks coming in the mail on Tuesday.

The scarf or bandana is to catch the spit you fling when you talk, or cough or just breathe. It benefits other people, not you. I'm really pushing for that to become normalized because it will have long term benefits in future flu seasons.

Now's our chance, because we can just let the stupid people think they are actually protecting themselves.

maybe so.

RANT: I'm starving myself because I can't even snack at the computer at the same time as playing bannerlord, the game is too distracting. Brought out like three different snacks and it can't hold my interest at all

For anybody who doesn't already know this, the Open Library lets you access a huge collection of scanned books with a free account.

Didn't have any of the titles I needed. Open Library? More like Awful Library.

They have gone mad with power and eliminated their artificial "limits" on the number of copies that can be checked out at once apparently.

Is it illegal?
Hah! Who knows?

Until this week, the Open Library only allowed people to "check out" as many copies as the library owned. If you wanted to read a book but all copies were already checked out by other patrons, you had to join a waiting list for that book—just like you would at a physical library.

Of course, such restrictions are artificial when you're distributing digital files. Earlier this week, with libraries closing around the world, the Internet Archive announced a major change: it is temporarily getting rid of these waiting lists.

"The Internet Archive will suspend waitlists for the 1.4 million (and growing) books in our lending library by creating a National Emergency Library to serve the nation’s displaced learners," the Internet Archive wrote in a Tuesday post. "This suspension will run through June 30, 2020, or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later."

The Tuesday announcement generated significant public interest, with almost 20,000 new users signing up on Tuesday and Wednesday. In recent days, the Open Library has been "lending" 15,000 to 20,000 books per day.

Good for thumbing through old Stephen King books, or Orwell's stuff.

After careful deliberation, I've decided that... stuffed crust sucks. At least the kind that Pizza Hut has. It's just thick, barely edible cheese in a hollow bread tube. Awful. Disgusting.

They've done other types of stuffed crust where the crust had these little spoon shapes around the edge that they dolloped cheese into and that was good. But yeah their standard stuffed crust tastes like neither cheese nor crust and is awful.
