#bare minimum effort

[karamazovanon]

controversial opinion maybe but it BEWILDERS me when people (mostly americans ime) genuinely seriously with their whole chest complain about how impossibly hard russian names are. like. do a single google search. i don't see how you can comprehend that charles = chuck and margaret = peggy but can't fathom that rodion = rodya. how is this such a huge barrier of entry for people

#and this doesnt apply to ESL ppl or any other ppl who have actual reasons like dyslexia or something #im talking about other americans who go yeah i had to stop reading bc i couldnt understand the names #how are you seeing different cultural naming conventions as an unsurpassable barrier that forces you to quit and give up on ever reading it #instead of an opportunity to learn and expand your narrow worldview?????? and over something SO SIMPLE?????????? #like i know damn well yall know a katherine that goes by katie or a john that goes by jack #and those make even less sense than something like aleksey -> alyosha! #there are general rules and patterns unlike english! like the progression from aleksey -> alyosha -> alyoshka -> alyoshechka is so easy to #comprehend i dont understand how its SUCH a common complaint #i definitely understand the struggle of keeping characters straight when they have the same first name #like katerina ivanovna and katerina ospovna in t/bk etc #and of course the names in general are something you have to adjust to if youve never encountered it before! it takes a bit of thought #but its NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE and its asinine to shrug your shoulders and say welp guess im incapable of ever reading any ruslit! #like ohhh my goddd it grinds my gears so bad #bare minimum effort #anontalks #sorry for rant but i keep fucking seeing this shit and it rubs me the wrong way every time #like yeah its funny that dunya = avdotya and grushenka = agrafena #but richard = dick and elizabeth = betty so who fucking cares read the damn book

One thing I’m realizing is if you don’t already have healthy hair, it’s hard to pull curls off regardless of your routine. Like I just did my usual lengthy curly hair steps (detangle while soaking wet, leave-in, curl cream, mousse, and gel—all w products I’ve either been using for a minute or products I researched at length) but my curls still didn’t come out as curly as they usually do. And a big part of that is I haven’t done any hours long hair masks w shower caps on for a minute, I haven’t been doing deep clarifying sessions like I usually did, and bc I already started w a base of curls that was frizzy the end result wasn’t as bouncy and defined as it usually is when I do go the whole nine yards. So like literally the first step to defined curls (or hair in general tbh) w volume is having good hair care. The rest follows but I don’t think a solid routine will save u if u don’t already start w something healthy.

#I’ve just been fucking busy but ok it’s back to studying w a heat cap on I guess #And also a little lazy about it but evidently my hair is high maintenance #Even when I straighten it I feel like I can’t get away from dry hair for too long bc it’s the sleekest when it’s healthy & moisturized #Literally envious of straight haired people or even people w curly hair that requires 0 effort #God knows mine does . it does not like the bare minimum #I’ve also been diffusing for an HOUR ?? #All that work for a subpar result is devastating highkey #Ok like I know no one cares but I care #I care.. #I love my curls but not when they misbehave :(

Y'know... A lot of ZaDr fics have them either gradually drifting into a less contentious status quo or establishing a deeply bizarre multilayered dynamic that is nonetheless very consistent and beholden to its own rules—which works, to be clear, because slavish adherence to the rhythm of their endless 'game' is already their canon baseline.

WITH THAT BEING SAID. I think it would be very funny to depict a ZaDr dynamic in which they're like, on-again off-again nemeses. As they get older theyre gradually forced to acknowledge the true depth of their mutual attachment, but instead of actually improving themselves in any lasting way or compromising the conflicting elements into an ill-definable state of contentious codependence, they just start oscillating wildly between periods of obscenely clingy allyship and devotedly murderous enmity. There's never an in between. They'll dedicate all their energy to trying to horrifically torture each other to death, until one of them gets uncomfortably close to actually dying or an external crisis pushes them together or they just get bored—at which point, they become obnoxiously glued at the hip until one of them relapses into anxiety about their ambitions or an argument escalates past the the point of no return or they just get bored. And every time they both Really Mean It, They're Not Gonna Do This Anymore, before naturally going ahead and doing it again

#invader zim #zadp #zadr #iz posting #natterings #there is so much good drama potential here actually #initially I just thought the idea was funny and it IS but also #there is something to be said about leveraging the full force of ones loathing #against someone you've been sincerely intimate with #and at the same time still being too attached to that person to fully commit #so that it just becomes this endless unresolved resentment that's never meaningfully addressed #also how this effects literally everyone around them #because they literally cannot be trusted to stick to anything #anything they do they HAVE to do as a team #until they get so sick of each other that they'd sooner die than share a cause #and they'll sign themselves onto wholeass war efforts just to have a sufficiently dramatic battleground #(because obviously it's not any fun if the stakes arent absurdly high #'apocalyptic' being the bare minimum here) #only to defect without a second thought the moment they decide they miss each other #at the end of the day there's only one kind of dedication and loyalty they care about #and they're making it everyone elses problem #im always saying steady pitch-pale vacillation is the ideal zadr endgame #and what is this if not that taken to its absolute practical and emotional extreme

honestly feel like i wouldnt care as much about fernsong and his lack of an actual followup to that throwaway line if people didn't start being asshats to people who still hc'd ivypool as a lesbian and going "omg if you think about it its still queer though bc fernsong has a feminine name and its sooooo gnc for men to babysit their kids <3" very easy way to get me to hate an inoffensive character actually.

#ESPECIALLY when you juxtapose this with the bullshit sparkpelt got #oh its ok that this guy wasnt ACTUALLY shown being better to his kids. the line is a good effort on its own!! we can infer he still did it! #but the woman who had ppd and was struggling with the trauma of her husband and childs deaths should get fucking crucified #like it just REEKS of ''fathers deserve endless praise for the bare minimum or less but for mothers its just expected'' #even if no one is flat out saying that

[clockwayswrites]

I know I know I know.

Rest Clock, take it easy Clock, don't work Clock.

I did! No lbfd this week. Slept* 12 hours last night. But I just- I just want. To. Write. I hate feeling like my head is full of cotton. Like a puppet with its strings cut. It's so draining to always have to be resting.

*gently shakes my brain*

Giving credit to original posters, creators, artists, photographers, and sources matters.

It matters to the person who put in the time and effort to create the content. Whether it's finding that photo and editing it to make it stand out. Or downloading that video, editing it, coloring it, turning it into a gif, adding subtitles, etc. Regardless of what you do (job/student), I'm sure you too would not like it if someone else takes credit for your work.

It matters to people who want to know context. Was it said by a fan, your favourite's bestie, a reputable journalist? Published by a tabloid or the New York Times? From last week or last year? Is it an original, or did someone get photoshopped in for a meme?

It matters to people who may want to explore more content of that particular publication, so they will continue to publish top-notch articles. Or give kudos to a budding artist for their outstanding art work, potentially encouraging them to create more. Or compliment that photographer on capturing their fave in just the right light.

It matters, because even though it may take you an extra minute or so to add on that name or link, it is the right thing to do.

#i am aware we could do more like #pay for content we use #but giving credit is truly the bare minimum #and we all have those times when we are busy and forget to note the source #but we can try to make the effort 99% of the time #so much wonderful talent on this app #and other social media #who deserve to be acknowledged #and i know i am not the only one who spent hours gathering data #putting it into excel #creating a nice graph #with me crediting my data sources #only to then find it reposted on twitter 2 minutes later #without any credit whatsoever added #giving credit matters #cite your sources #not just applicable to f1mblr #but since that's the fandom i'm in #f1 #formula 1 #charles leclerc

It is just concept art, but any thoughts on the Townsville stage revealed for MultiVersus, and what it could mean for PPG's presence in the game?

It’s cool, I like all of the little Easter eggs in the concept art and appreciate that it seems to be based off of the original. I don’t play the game myself and don’t really plan on doing so, so like… 🤷🏻‍♀️. That said, I don’t have an opinion much outside of, “That’s nice,” and it would be cool if they eventually get the original VAs/lean into the original design over the reboot one if they add the characters later.

#powerpuff girls #ppg #I don’t expect much of anything anymore so if someone takes the bare minimum effort to rep the show… good for them! #now if the girls had their OWN game I would be muuuuch more intrigued #I am not a crossover fan for the most part lol

the thing is, the truth is really, i am lazy. i don't like to work. i don't like to go to work. when i'm working i work in the least efficient way possible, so that i can spend as much time on the current work and not have to switch to a new different kind of work for a while. i avoid difficult assignments and i don't like being at a circulation desk where people constantly come up to me and ask me questions and want my help, and it is often obvious from my face and behavior that i really don't want to be there. some things in my life - sweeping my floor for the first time in three months, completing the dishes, taking out the compost, tidying the cluttered surfaces that cause me stress at home, writing, finishing creative projects - are dysfunctional and i want to change them. but at work i don't care. at work all i want is for the day to be as quick and quiet as possible and then i leave. i have no motivation. i have no ambition. i don't care about being a success. i don't care about careers. one of my favorite things about my current job as compared to previous jobs is that in this one i get a chair and can sit in it a majority of the time. boss makes a dollar i make a dime that's why i don't do shit all with company time

#i live a bare minimum effort work life and the only reason i would ever change that is fear of losing my job #i have no emotional investment in doing better at all . it's not my career it's not my goal it's not my lifestyle #it's my health insurance and my bill payer mechanism
