wow this is great, thanks so much for sharing!

Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”

A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.

Capitalism is so exhausting

WOAH

First known omnivorous shark species identified!

The Bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo), is a species of hammerhead that is abundant in critical seagrass habitats.

Recent research on the stomach and digestive physiology of these sharks have shown that they consume lots of seagrass (up to 62.1% of gut content mass) and have specialised enzymes for digesting plant material (cellulose).

In Honor of Kyoto Animation

After these horrifying news, I’ve decided to do a recap on KyoAni’s main titles from their foundation until now as a homage for its staff, especially the victims and their families. We don’t know where the studio will be going from now, but we do know of its journey until the present moment. There were hits and there were misses, but it overall deserves appreciation now more than ever.

This is going to be a bit long but they deserve it all and more.

Inuyasha Movies 1 to 3 (2001-2003)

Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte (2002)

Munto (2003-2009)

Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu/TSR (2003-2006)

Air (2005)

Kanon (2006)

Clannad (2007-2009)

Suzumiya Haruhi (2006-2010)

Lucky Star (2007-2008)

K-ON! (2009-2011)

Nichijou (2011)

Hyouka (2012)

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! (2012-2018)

Tamako Market (2013-2014)

Free! (2013-present)

Kyoukai no Kanata (2013-2015)

Amagi Brilliant Park (2014-2015)

Hibike! Euphonium (2015-present)

Musaigen no Phantom World (2016)

Koe no Katachi (2016-2017)

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (2017-present)

Violet Evergarden (2018-2020)

Tsurune (2018-present)

Personally, part of me wants to believe that these people will continue living through their creations, but what’s been done to them is unforgivable. We all know that this will definitely affect current and future projects of the studio, but let’s show only support for the survivors until they’re able to get back on track.

Stay strong, KyoAni!!

how r yall spending tonight

the player’s guide to DM-speak!

“You wouldn’t know”: If you ask to roll, say, history, and your DM responds with this, it usually means, “This is a vital plot point that you aren’t supposed to find out until later, so I won’t tell you regardless of what you roll”

“I mean, you could”: The DM is strongly suggesting you don’t do the thing you were just about to do. But it is your choice… if you reeeeeally want to.

“Oh, fuck”/“Oh, shit”/et cetera: “I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND I DID NOT PREPARE AN OUTCOME”

“Oh, fuck”/“Oh, shit”/et cetera: “I JUST REALIZED I DID NOT BALANCE THIS COMBAT CORRECTLY”

“Hang on…”: “Where the FUCK did I put this in my notes?”

“Oh boy”/“Oh god”/“Oh no”/et cetera: I either just rolled REALLY well or REALLY badly. You’ll find out soon enough.

“It seems like…”/“As far as you can tell…”: What I’m about to say your character notices, is nowhere CLOSE to what’s actually going on.

“Make a [skill] check”/“Make a [skill] saving throw”: I’m having you make this roll, but I’m not going to tell you what it means until later, when you’re going to regret it.

A hard, firm, “No”: “Please for the love of GOD and ALL that is holy I am BEGGING you not to put me through whatever BULLSHIT you’re planning.”
