TET: Shine On, Harvest Moon!

[Albrenia]

Just got accepted to a teaching position for next fall at a nearby HS. Absolutely stoked right now.

Looks like you'll need to remove 'Future' from your sig some time soon! Congrats!

Living in a library does sound cozy. Quiet almost all the time, and you get to read everything for free!

Only problem is the people driving you nuts, especially when they put a 400.202 in front of 399.391. Ugh.

I can sorta relate: when on campus, but not heading to/from or in class, or getting something to eat and/or drink, I basically spent my time on one of the public computers at the uni library.

Yes. So many books that you can read. It would be perfect.

Also, people in a library? I haven't seen them there in a while (before the pandemic, obviously).

I've been told that Twitter will destroy all of my faith in people. I'll take that as confirmation.


I don't know if smiling would work that well. Living in a library sounds like some version of heaven on earth, though. Someone should make that possible.

Maybe I should get contacts, just in case.

As someone who doomscrolls through Twitter, it has done so. Sure, it kept me informed on the latest going-ons in America, but at what cost?

Maybe normal news is better?

To be fair, I am also informed by following Facebook pages for news sites. My favoritest thing is read the comments on there when it is some hot-button issue just so I can really know what humanity really is when I get too hopeful.

For every funny joke, cool piece of art, or interesting cosplayer I'll see on twitter I'll see a hundred of the worst scum that'd put Mos Eisley to shame.

There is a lot of chaff with the wheat.

So that's a no on the bread, then.

Your faith in humanity.

AFAIK, the libraries in Singapore are still closed... I think. It's been so long since I last checked.

But what I know is that back in those good ol' days of "Before 2020", me and my friend always had to contend with acts of selfishness; people taking up seats by leaving their stuff behind, only to go for 40-60+ min lunch break and never to come back.

I understand you need to work as much as us, but stop hogging the place, ya darn landlubbers.

I'm scared of those comments sections. Local news is a bit better, though. There are really good people there, more like NSG.

Bingo.

I think the public libraries are open, but I don't think the one on campus is open for in-person things, and even if it were, all my classes for this term and the winter term are online, which means little reason for me to go from my house to there and back home.

[The Free Joy State]

No one would just give me a house for books.

No, well ... you could build one or find a very rich bibliophile and smile at him. Or you could sneak into a large library and live there.

You're listing my broken dreams... *sniffs*

Congratulations!

That's annoying. It's pretty disrespectful of the library and the people in it.

Appreciate the nice comments I got from all of y'all.

But, yeah, there is something extra infuriating about rudeness in libraries. It's one thing to be rude, it is another wheelhouse to do so in a place where quiet reflectiveness is encouraged.

[Valrifell]

where do I find one of these wega boreds?

Hasbro.

I find it so funny that Ouiji boards have been so mystified in popular culture but they're just like, this dopey board game sold by fucking Hasbro.

I think it's so amusing, in fact, I brought this quote chain back from four pages ago.

I know I just slagged off twitter but this tweet has been making me laugh my arse off all afternoon https://twitter.com/EricBaudour/status/ ... 0533226496

I keep almost quoting people from months or years ago in the gaming thread in arts and fiction.

He's not wrong.

[Kowani]

I'm behind the curve. but congrats, Tom!

[Kowani]

Also, I gotta stop posting threads at night. I get no engagement.

[Nuroblav]

Ah yes, enslaved new thread.

[Hurdergaryp]

I have no idea what's going on and I'm ok with that.

That's probably for the best, given these interesting times which we find ourselves in.

I love how the spam is now about businesses and faxes.

As if the regular visitors here have a need for that stuff and are not millennials and younger that will use an app on the smartphone for that.

I reported on an adbot about an essay mill now and then. One of those "We will help you with your HW" thing for an exorbitant fee.

I don't want to encourage their business but I wonder how they will react to having been asked "So can you help me do these complex mathematical and programming stuff on an artificial intelligence?"

[Pilipinas and Malaya]

Oooh, I'm here before 200 hits. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival/Chuseok/Tsukimi to our East and Southeast Asian friends out there! I want mooncake nao.

Fun fact in the last TET I was just about 10% of all posts in the thread.

Anyone like fire emblem?
