Also a lot of people dont say interstate or highway they just call it the number/letters (I10= interstate 10, US 95= US highway 95, 244= state highway/freeway 244, route 66= US route 66).
Another thing is State routes sometimes are just normal roads in town and as you get out of town morph into a highway as you get out of city limits.
I good way to get your characters lost is have a bridge outage and have them try to find another way without looking at a map. This happened to my Family once, the bridge to cross the Mississippi near Baton Rouge Louisiana had a chemical spill and they were forcing everyone off, but hadn't put up the detour signs yet, we decided to go south after getting off and ended up in residential swamp land. The atlas (big map book) had nothing, Garmin had no idea where we were and we keep turning down streets and hitting dead ends. We couldn't even find our way back to the Main streets I don't even remember how long it took us to try Google maps which finally included the streets we were on (this was like 10 years ago, which is why we didnt think of that sooner).

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
doing nothing is good for my soul.
i am not defined by what i produce.
my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!
Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr. Please warn them about this as well.
I need a sticker for surviving 2023 so I made one and thought I’d share it with you all too. Reblog to give everyone stickerssss
purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?
Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten.
They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it.
The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.
It’s what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty fic…AdultFanfiction was the one I went to…but thousands of fics would never be recovered.
Alternate article for enabling gpedit.msc (for windows 10 and 11 home) I found it more straight forward.
I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence
Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.
Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.
TBH been looking for how to do this for a while. 😂
Tumblr is a platform where 10+ year old posts still circulate. You absolutely will need timestamps or you will most likely fall for out-dated information or scams.
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
