The aliens are gonna be so confused when humans first board their ships and start doing this, and by GOD I hope at least one of them is going to have a camera when it happens.
were you a gifted kid
i was explicitly put in a specific class/program for gifted students
i skipped a year of school due to my perceived intelligence
i was not put in a specific gifted class, but i was always in the top class/set
none of those things apply to me
little joel on youtube got me wondering what the percentage is actually like. please reblog so i can get more responses and thus a more representative data pool for my demographic of "people who use tumblr in 2023"
Wait I realized this Twitter rate limiting thing happened literally the same day as the Reddit 3rd party app shut downs. Wonder how many of those users have come here today to this Luigi Wins By Doing Nothing Ass website

Hello! Sorry to bother you- I've been trying to find the anti-scraping code people can add to their works published on A03. I didn't know if perhaps you knew about it/could point me in the right direction to find it.
I'm coming back to A03 after a hiatus, and I just would rather not fear my work be stolen.
thebibliosphere answered:
I had no idea such a thing existed. That’s cool if it works. Be nice to unlock my fic again.
If you're posting on AO3, this isn't something you have to worry about as an individual, they did it for you. They added the flag that tells Common Crawl not to scrape their website, and implemented a few backend features that also help limit "robot" access to their website.
If you're posting on your own website you can look up how to implement these yourself!
Ah, thank you for the info!
@indigopersei is the french language just always on the verge of getting someone accused of assault or..?
my friend,
if only you knew
It’s a very dangerous language to learn
Here’s an interesting thing about French! Everything needs to have an article in front of it. That’s why it’s “la chat” as opposed to just “chat”. So, for instance, you could say la fille for the girl, or jeune fille for young girl, but you can’t just say fille, because that means you are calling her a sex worker in a derogatory way.
The moral of the story is, if you want to make something rude in French, just take out the article in front of it. Yes, this works for nearly. every. word.
Every year. Every year there’s that kid who forgets that you can’t translate “I am excited” to “Je suis excitée”. And every year Monsieur Jordan has to slam the brakes before that kid can finish his sentence and then tactfully ask him not to announce to the class that he is horny.
truly the language of love
