“The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.”

- Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF, chiming in on the pronunciation of the word. (As everyone knows, choosy memes choose “jif.”) Wilhite, a former CompuServe employee, created the format in 1987 and is to receive an award for his creation tonight. (via shortformblog)

I say it with a hard ‘G’ because 20 years ago when I started messing with GIFs there was no one to tell me how to pronounce it correctly. I chose the most logical pronunciation and went with it. When you get used to saying something a certain way for 20 years… that’s pretty much how you are going to say it no matter how incorrect someone tells you it is.

It’s like someone trying to tell you “Sun” is actually pronounced wombatnards. It’s going to take an awful lot of effort to train your brain to say “I got a really bad wombatnardsburn today. I should have used more wombatnardsblock.”

I’m speechless.

I was being restrained. Like extremely restrained I was shaking…

And she unfriended me. Imagine if I’d let loose the science?

Eat a Gun by ~Kthulhu42

So an Anon on tumblr told me to “Eat a gun, loser”

I apologise, Anon, but I don’t own one, and therefore I can’t follow your orders

But believe me, if I had one, I would. With all the physical suffering and emotional pain I’ve been going through lately, I don’t even need you to tell me to do it. Hell, I have people on my own side that make me want to kill myself just by talking to me. Or not talking to me. Or talking to me and telling me things I didn’t want to hear. Or by existing.

I humbly suggest the next time you decide to tell someone to commit suicide - because you’re a troll, and it would be useless of me to tell you to stop - you check and make sure that less than a month ago they weren’t hanging by their neck in a public garden, with the only thought in their mind the fervent hope that the poor soul who finds their corpse isn’t a child.

I just got back from seeing the re-release of Jurassic Park. I remember seeing it in theaters as a kid and it was great to see it on the big screen. The 3D effects were generally very well-done.

However, what I did not like was the incredibly gratuitous and out-of-place…

if anybody thinks that this isn’t the greatest thing ever, then you have some serious problems.

“I think it’s about time that I told you a story.

It’s not particularly special, in fact, it even gets a little dull and sad during some parts.

Don’t assume that it was because this solitary spark of life was dull and sad. Everything I tell you today is coloured by my own perceptions and beliefs.

So if Eve seems to you to be a little braver than what you’d expect from a four year old, please forgive the author in this case. Because to me, she was braver than a lion.”
