99.99999% of the time libraries don’t want donated books. Honestly don’t know if they ever want them (outside of genuinely rare/interesting ones, and even then). Their collections are usually meticulously curated and are basically the children of whomever is currently responsible for them. Libraries throw away books at a prodigious rate as they wear, or their circulation numbers drop, or because they just run out of space.

Honestly I have no real issue with people destroying (most) books. It’s 2026 we have access to printers and presses, we can literally make more books on demand, and again for the V A S T majority of books that’s more than good enough (again, not counting anything rare/valuable/interesting but also at that point they kinda cease to become just “books” as the value is more tied than the object itself than the text within)

What I have a massive issue with is them hoarding this information, and/or very, VERY, likely breaking any licensing the book may be under. And on top of that seemingly doing a fucking horrible job at actually creating something worthwhile from this massive waste of man-hours and resources.

That was the Sasha Riley thing which is full of bonkers unsubstantiated claims.

This isn’t happening to every person in Russia, it’s happening to every person in Russia with a modern Porsche.

Assumptions can be made about the sample set.

Ooo, I think it would be:

• Incremental Deduction
• Adventure
• (maybe?) Language and Translation

Yepp, from where I sit Endeavour is the best of all worlds. Plus, it’s purple.

Same, but also specifically I have a Pomodoro cube timer on my desk. If I use an app or website I get distracted, the cube is simple, fast, and weirdly effective.

Part of interest calculation is risk. That’s why higher credit score leads to lower interest, it’s less of a risk to the lender.

PMI is double dipping. They can pick one, either a flat across the board interest rate for all borrowers or PMI.

Didn’t mean to imply it was entirely about risk.

And while we’re ranting about this, can we throw PMI and whomever came up with it on the bonfire where they belong?

Your telling me that I need to pay for you to have insurance in case I default while your also charging me interest who’s very purpose is to offset risk? Why am I paying to offset your risk FUCKING TWICE AND HOW IS THIS FUCKING LEGAL.

Shit infuriates me. I want all the bankers to get William Wallace on live TV, recorded and played back once a year during a mandatory viewing window so that we never, ever, forget.

It’s not heteronormative oh person with a hammer. You simply lack perspective, as yours seems entirely based on sex and literally none from kink.

Doming and Topping are two different things in the kink world, and imply similar yet drastically different things and are very deliminaited in play.

And even to the comic, it’s BDSM/kink coded more than anything.
