POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time AUGUST 5th, 2021          11 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

Hey lads i hate to ask for help like this but my laptop literally just died and will not turn itself on again without bluescreening. The screen is like half falling off,,, so I’m looking to sell it or hand it off to my parents to use in the office IF it’s even fixable. Probably will lose all stuff on it tho. If you wanna help me out with raising cash to either fix the laptop or get a new one that i would probably end up taking it with me to uni, i would be really thankful ;; these donos would make it easier for me to draw whump n stuff while still raising money, so if you like that stuff pls consider donating <3

Rigged deals

There’s something so awfully cruel and unfair about giving the whumpee a deal they think they might meet but will never manage.

“You can get some water after you finally learn how to do this task properly.” “You will get to sleep after we’re done.”

Such a simple offer these kinds of statements are. It can’t be that hard, whumpee almost has it, but their hands are just a bit too shaky, or they keep passing out before they can finish.

The problem is that without properly resting and replenishing the body’s resources, these tasks get tremendously harder. And the longer whumpee goes without these necessities, the worse they perform.

So absolutely unfair. And so fun to watch, when the whumpee tries and tries and instead of getting better, each time they just fail in an increasingly more spectacular way.

R ight so strap in serious post time. Lemme say this loud and clear for people in the back.

IF YOU HAVE AN OBSESSIVE OR ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY AVOID PAY TO WIN MOBILE GAMES.

in fact you should avoid a lot of mobile games. So, what games do you avoid?

Anything with levels is something to be careful of. Free games with little or no ads. This may seem great at first, but trust me, they're probably going to try and squeeze your wallet. Story based puzzle games often candy crush type games. Dress up games and online fighting games too.

But why?? Well, because a lot of them are specifically targeting /you/ yep.

I'm not being dramatic, these games are probably just as frustrating to people who don't have an addictive personality. However those people tend to find it easier to step away or delete the game.

And let me make it clear, there's a difference between manipulation of addiction and gameplay, vs just denying you Instant gratification.

For example, a game denying you instant gratification is fine, it's actually necessary as playing as long as you want often causes boredom, a game like this would let you play until you fail, then make you wait 15 minutes.

It's likely you'll forget, until about 30 minutes later when your brain realises you didn't finish a task, (playing the game, you were stopped so your brain doesn't register task as finished) by then you aren't bored anymore! You can play some more before you go to bed then sleep happy.

Manipulation of people with addictive personalities are different. The game starts easy. You have everything you need! You rush through the game and story quickly getting addicted. Then,,,, the game suddenly gets hard. You can't finish levels without multiple attempts, it's frustrating. It's constantly in your mind, you're checking again and again until you can try again. You play every day, sometimes stuck on one level for so long.

It's not fun, you don't want to play. But then! You buy a life or energy with in game currency they gave you and you beat that level you've been playing for ten days! So you buy power ups and energy until… you run out of the in game currency. Oh you'll only spend a pound… then maybe two, twenty isn't that much! All of a sudden you spiral, sure, maybe it is only one pound, but you still spent ten pounds on a game, and people don't understand, they blame you! Uninstall the game! But you *can't*

Now, the main way these too differ may seem odd. Surely both are just you running out of chances or lives? The difference lies in how the game behaves. Games targeting people with addictive personalities often intentionally rig games. No I'm not kidding.

The main way they do this is sudden difficulty or wall. Maybe they will make a challenge! It looks possible, but it's unfortunately impossible without paying! Well you spent days working on it…

They also make games 100% more difficult if you play daily or frequently. Usually "play however many times you want free for five hours!" become rigged after an hour. Maybe you have to come back every day to do something no fun for ten days but oh wait! Pay and its available in two days.

I'd recommend googling "is x rigged" for a quick check, if yes don't play.

What if you're already addicted? You like the game, the frustration and stress is awful but you still want to play?

I understand. So, I'm not going to tell you to delete it, I know that's hard. I am going to give advice.

Rigged games often make games easier the less you play to draw you in. They make it hard when you play all the time, don't Play too often, limit as much as you can, you'll feel better and probably see game progress.

IF you can, take l o n g breaks. When you get back it'll be worth it, free gifts, lives, money, play a little, try not to get completely drawn back in, then leave again or just do rare check in's.

TURN NOTIFICATIONS OFF

disconnect your credit card, turn off in app purchases, get a friend to put parental locks on it if you need.

Stay safe, and remember, it's never just one pound.

Cute story from work.

So this couple walks in- a broad-shouldered man with an accent (Italian, I think) and a man that I can best describe as looking like Cecil Palmer. 

“Okay- weird question. So you guys did our wedding- amazing by the way. And it’s been a month and just about all the flowers in the vases have died by now except for this one thing that’s really holding on in there. And we want to know what that plant is and how to take care of it to keep it alive. And we don’t know how to like… describe it and it sounds kind of weird to go to up to a stranger and say ‘hey what’s this weird wiggly green plant you put in our vases a month ago?’ but I guess that’s what I’m asking.”

“Sounds like curly willow. If you keep it in water it will eventually start rooting and you can grow a new plant from it from the cutting.” 

“That is too cool! What do you suggest we do?”

“Well, you can keep it in the water for now, but eventually you’ll want to pot it in soil because that’s how it’s going to get its nutrients.”

“Can we,” the Italian guy asks. “Can we plant it in the floor?” I figure he means ‘plant it outside.’ 

I nod. “It’ll keep growing.”

“What does it look like when it’s bigger? Does it stay like a wiggly stick?”

“Oh, no, it’ll branch out. It’s actually a tree.” 

The skinnier one turns to his husband and says:

“Did you hear that, honey? They gave us a tree! We have a tree now!” 

Italian man: “It’s our tree. We love our tree.”

The hard hat advice is useful, but keep in mind that that entirely depends on your attitude. You have to look and act confident.

Smile any time people approach you, chat casually, make up some story about them being old and need replacing.

The less scared you look the more likely people will believe you, also a clip board goes a long way.

If you think you're unable to act the part your better off doing it at night and running if someone shows up

Also for legal reasons I have to mention this is still illegal and entirely hypothetical :)
