I saw a post before about how hackers are now feeding Google false phone numbers for major companies so that the AI Overview will suggest scam phone numbers, but in case you haven't heard,

PLEASE don't call ANY phone number recommended by AI Overview

unless you can follow a link back to the OFFICIAL website and verify that that number comes from the OFFICIAL domain.

My friend just got scammed by calling a phone number that was SUPPOSED to be a number for Microsoft tech support according to the AI Overview

It was not, in fact, Microsoft. It was a scammer. Don't fall victim to these scams. Don't trust AI generated phone numbers ever.

This is especially true for people who spent a chunk of their life living with abusive caregivers. If your life and your needs and your desires were made to feel small and meaningless outside of what you were to your abuser, getting on your feet and learning how to live for yourself takes some time. I'm 32 and I am living a life better than I could have ever imagined at the age of 21. So many things happen in every decade of your life that will change your situation, and all the experience you gain along the way can help you learn to live a life you (hopefully) love. Don't give up hope if you're young and you feel like you've wasted the prime of your life. If you're 21 or younger, you've barely begun approaching your prime. I promise. 💜

For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

Heads up, block anticonfessions, they will hunt your proship posts and try to harass you in their reblogs. I'm not normaly going public with blocklists but this person seems determined to bother as many people as they can so for your own safety and peace of mind just block them imedietely.

This is not a call for harassment. Full stop. Don't bother arguing or giving them attention. Just block. They're just some annoying 12 year old internet troll so give them a good old "don't feed the trolls" treatement and just let them starve.

Fellow Californians,

The fire now has 0 percent containment and several areas now have no water in the hydrants anymore. People have now died in the fire.

If asked to evacuate, please do so.

Quickly Take photos of the interiors of each room in your home for insurance purposes.

Anything too large to take with you, take a photo.

Clothes, food, firearms, family photos, passports, SSNs, birth certificates, medical records, and anything of significance should be taken with you.

Small but high value items should also be taken with you (tablets, spare phones, game consoles, computers) as people have been looting evacuated homes in the past and it might happen again this year.

As for me, many of my neighbors are now evacuating even tho my area doesn’t have an order yet. We are just on the edge of the evacuation order.

I can see the fire from my property.

I’m now packing my bags for when the order happens.

I wish all my fellow Californians the best. Be safe.

the funny thing is that we first started this blog for fun just so that we could post about things we liked (whump polls and stuff). the popularity of this blog still surprised us. then all of a sudden people were in our inbox telling us what we can and can't post on our blog? "just stick to the polls and stop posting about squid game" no? sorry but who are you to tell other people what to do on their blog????

unless you were held at gunpoint to follow this blog, curate your own internet experience and unfollow us if you don't want to see the stuff we post on our blog.

we are not running this blog to please you. we're just here to have fun and talk about things we love on a blog we made solely to talk about things we love.

that being said, we also see so many of you who have been so kind and supportive. we may not be able to personally respond to every kind message we receive, but we see and read them all. and we wanted to let you guys know how much we appreciate each and every single one of you. thank you. there will still be lots of polls about blorbos for you.

I'm practically snowed in at the moment, so sims and wine are on the agenda. Sorry not sorry.

Other than that I thought I'd give a little update on what's going on in my life. I'm starting a new job as a sommelier in February, can't wait - I'll be reuniting with some old colleagues that I've really missed working with. I also decided to take some time off before starting, so my last day at my previous job was Dec 29, 2024. So I have a whole month off to just rewind, relax and play sims. Might take a little trip somewhere, but at the moment travelling is chaotic because of heavy snow in the whole of Southern Norway. Anyhoo, expect me spamming your dash!

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

Since the whole thing with NaNoWriMo has gone down, I've noticed that one of their former sponsors, Ellipsus, has cut contact with NaNoWriMo because they do not support their stance on AI; I didn't know what Ellipsus was, but upon further research I've found that they are a writing platform that works a lot like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, only with a heavier leaning on the story-writing aspect and connecting with other writers - and they also completely denounce any use of AI, both in the writing process itself and in the use of their platform. I really appreciate that.

Since this is the case (and since I've noticed Google has begun implementing more AI into their software), I've decided to give Ellipsus a try to see if it's a good alternative to Google Docs (my main writing platform). It's completely free and so far, I've found it simple to use (although it is pretty minimal in its features), and I really like the look of it.

I figured I'd spread the word about this platform in case any of you writers would want to give it a try, and if you do, let me know how you like it!

btw the majority of your life will be lived as a adult. yeah i don't make the rules. go have fun in your 40s or 70s or whatever. no one expects you to accomplish everything at 17 or 27. you've got time and in the meantime get some life experience, it will pay off

[wdapteo]

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!
