Sansa Stark: Here’s a terrifying thought: what if some people are just bitches at heart? Would Joffrey still have been Joffrey if he had gotten into art school?
Sandor Clegane: He would have got WORSE, Sansa. The only thing worse than Joffrey is a slightly more pretentious Joffrey! The only thing that could maybe stop him would be Poetry Major Tywin, but I don’t think any of us would survive it.
Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I’m reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling “WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!”
AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE
I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn’t cut it and you need to borrow your neighbors to get more ducks on the problem. One time we couldn’t figure out why something wasn’t working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.
whatever it takes you to believe it
that’s all right with me
take this morning in my kitchen
or whatever that helps you to believe
you will find me down by the river
getting high on my mortality
i’ll be holding hands with nameless beauty
or whoever wants to stand next to me
Mae: The light that’s leaving that star right now will take a billion years to get down here. You want to know why you’ve never met a girl like me before?
Caleb Colton: Yeah. Why?
Mae: Because I’ll still be here when the light from that star gets down here to earth in a billion years.
