I'D LOVEEEE TO SUBMIT AS WELL :)

Yes!
That theory of anthropocentrism feels so stupid to me.
I know people didn't know all these fascinating things about our universe before, but it doesn't mean I have to accept it

That language a..."Yes. The way things were described in different centuries, is also quite interesting. Another thing that I love about classics, is the way the novels were written after an invention or a discovery. Does that make sense?

Yeah, that does make a lot of sense. I think people believe that there are no grey areas in so many things. But I think that is never the case. A thing that might feel good to someone, might not be for the other person

*dreamy sigh* dreaming about your fictional girlfriends is the best thing ever!
Also, I can at least read about romance between fictional characters, because I don't have any romance IRL
Anywayyyyyy, moving swiftly along

Vampire AcademyI FELT HER FEAR BEFORE I heard her screams.
Her nightmare pulsed into me, shaking me out of my own dream, which had had something to do with a beach and some hot guy rubbing suntan oil on me. Images—hers, not mine—tumbled through my mind: fire and blood, the smell of smoke, the twisted metal of a car. The pictures wrapped around me, suffocating me, until some rational part of my brain reminded me that this wasn’t my dream.
Nostalgic!
Lissa and I had been best friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we’d—or rather, I’d—responded appropriately. I’d chucked my book at our teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn’t known what those words meant, but I’d known how to hit a moving target.
Lissa and I had been inseparable ever since.
THAT'S ROSEEEEEEEEEEE, THE BADASSSSSSS! 😍

SO there are these bots which people code that likely are used to increase traffic on the site, spam the comments section, and all those things. TO keep those away, those captchas are embedded on sites.
Not the bots, no.
"computer coding thingy" 😮😂
