I've about had enough...

Ok, so here’s what I USED to be able to do before the latest “streamlined” update:

  1. Go into my inbox 
  2. locate a submission 
  3. edit submission [write that instant story you guys read every day]
  4. Copy/paste the little info-tag across the bottom with links intact
  5. post that fucker

Now there’s a more “streamlined” and “easier” process that goes like this:

  1. Go to my inbox
  2. locate a submission
  3. edit submission
  4. Copy/paste the little info-tag
  5. edit in the vitally necessary links that mean the difference between sales and poverty
  6. click the “Post” button WHICH NO LONGER POSTS ANYTHING [seriously, staff, what the flying fuck?]
  7. return to my inbox
  8. scroll all the fuck way down to where the submission was
  9. hunt for the tiny, grey “post” button which is RIGHT FUCKING NEXT TO TWO “OBLITERATE” BUTTONS [Again, what the flying shit, staff?] and finally click that sucker.

This is the epitome of bad fucking design. Go back to design school. Try to pass it this time.

It’s only a matter of time before you lose users and content to the competitors.

Numedid Meets the Birds of Earth, Part 3

Numedid meet the Penguins, finding them to be practicing Marxists with the capacity to utterly conquer the known galaxy, but have held off because they “want to see how the whole human thing turns out first”.

(#00762 - B031)

[AN: Not gonna lie, my first thought was with the Penguins of the Madagascar movies… resisting said temptation with my entire might.]

Humans called them Emperor penguins. They had a much more complicated name for themselves that T'reka the Wanderer could never

The object to your left is now your weapon of choice in the upcoming zombie apocalypse. What is it?

Erm… the spray bottle I use to keep the cats from scratching the furniture??

A glass of Chardonnay, how the hell will that help me?

My cat. The Apocalypse can come; we’re ready.

This extremely hilarious. My weapon of choice: my two year old

pop-juice:

The New York Daily News couldn’t change its attitude fast enough when it became public knowledge that their “thug” was actually an off-duty cop.

Note the change to passive voice, as well as the sudden appearance of the word “allegedly.”

Challenge #00761 - B030: What a Waste

A numidid who is the living embodiment of handsome - his feathers are perfectly aligned and gleaming, talons sharp and shiny, vibrant crest, and zygomatic arches to make everyone swoon.
He’s also a scientist. (from Amity or not)
Commence shenanigans!

Lu’iz had no idea he was handsome. He carried on in all his beliefs and allowed everyone else to be mistaken in theirs. Such was the life of a scientist.

And yet, every day, he would hear some female on
