Ook the Librarian
My namesake is a human librarian that was turned into an orangutan. All he says is “Ook” and can traverse the library stacks with great ease. He is happy.
I have a pretty strange knowledge set. I’m not super friendly, but I like to get high and link people to stuff. Just pretend I said only “ook”

Wow, you’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas!
I’ll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.
Ook the Librarian@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK The US Government has a Webpage for New Fathers to Find Dad Jokes7·1 year agoI actually love that we have resourses like this.
My gripe is that they miss the mark by targeting new dads. The reason dad jokes are great is they are the first jokes your kid understands. So I would think dads of 4 to 9 year-olds would be a better target.
The high you feel when your kid cracks up at some offhand dumb joke can’t be bottled.
But the reason I love this as a resourse is that explaining jokes to a curious child develops connections in their head in a way that only a parenting rolemodel can really do. So even if it’s not laugh-out-loud funny to explain a joke, if your child tells you that they do not get a joke, first and foremost realize that is a vunerable admission. Buddies will rag on you for not getting it. Parents see a gap in their kids’ world experience that they can fill.
Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.
edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.
Ook the Librarian@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You were disabled. You're stuck laying down most of the day. What do you do to earn a living and survive?11·1 year agoThis can’t help in the short term, I would consider learning steno. It used to cost thousands to rent specialized equipment to do it. Now with Plover (foss), the software component is free. You just need a keyboard with n-key rollover to do it.
I wouldn’t actually recommend learning on a standard keyboard. I personally use an ortholinear for typing, and that’s what got me into plover.
One way this would help one disabilities to make money is that with high-speed internet, you can caption internet broadcasts or remote company meetings. There are nonprofits that you would work for to find companies that need your service.

Ook the Librarian@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump wants to debate Biden 'immediately' — but president shrugs him off8·1 year agoOn the other hand, he hasn’t done a debate so far for this presidential race
It is way too early for R vs. D debates. Why would Biden debate him? Biden is handily beating Dean Phillips. Trump needs to defeat Haley first. It’s not Biden fault Haley is still in it.
I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.
