#(almost non sims)

[ellupelluellu]

Finally.... After almost 2 months! YAY!!!

Boring ramble under cut.. non sims.

At July they found tumor from my liver, took enough time to have MRI and other stuff, I was stressing like no tomorrow because some idiot comments nurse made at tummy ultrasound. Anyhow, good kind , very small. All ok. I can finally stop stressing again. And play, even o.O

Color theory is still the best thing to ever exist. I've bought a cheap lamp that makes my room all red (for sleep quality purposes) and now everything looks more cyan/teal. If it's out of my room, it is very cyan. I love color theory

[whyeverr]

do you ever just hyperfixate on figuring out your sims’ horoscopes and spend the rest of your day cackling thinking about their silly little problems and silly little lives and how much of a silly little goddamn [insert sign here] they are? 🤭

WordPress question

So I will soon have filled my second free media library on WordPress.

This was why I had created a second blog in October 2018: too many pics and my media library was full. Since then, I've published the posts on the second blog but kept a table of content of sorts on the main one.

But it was temporary, because I'm using more and more pics in my updates, and I've procrastinated and postponed making a decision for the future, but I can't ignore it now.

I love WordPress because everything is neatly sorted and it allows me to quickly find a specific update, to link to an update as a whole, to easily filter by character tag, or to upload a more detailed character page, family trees, resources, etc. However, to my knowledge, I have only one reader on that platform. I have kept my WordPress blog(s) all these years only because I find it extremely useful.

Now I'm faced with the following possibilities:

Pay for an annual plan

Pros:

Gives me a lot more storage space (13 Gb) for all my pics

Super easy to implement

Uploading pics is easy

Have all my updates on the same website (yay for organization!)

Cons:

Expensive for something I'll use just for my own comfort

Some work needed to re-upload everything onto the same website

I would have to shut down the secondary website and lose some potential lurkers

2. Create a third WP blog

Pros:

Free!

Quite easy to implement

Uploading pics is easy

No work involved in merging two websites

Cons:

Still a temporary solution with only 3 Gb of storage space

I would have to ask to people who may still follow me to update their bookmarks, and that would just create confusion

A third website to take care of...

3. Use Google Photos for storage and link back

Pros:

Free!

15 Gb!

Cons:

Uploading pics is slower than on WP

It's gonna take me forever to link the pics (often 80-100 of them) to each update on WP

4. Close down my WP blogs

Pros:

Free, obvs

I stop bothering with maintaining several websites

Cons:

I would lose that one reader who's not on Tumblr :(

I would miss my WP: I like having updates well organized and it is a very useful archive for me

What would you do? Maybe you guys have other solutions I haven't thought of?

I've made friends with a bunch of boys in college that are the same age of my little brother and one of them is planning to attend next week's class dressed as the spiderman. The kids are fine

We haven't learned. We haven't learned shit at all.

My country's wealth is directly linked to the exploitation and colonization of other peoples. We call the violent acts commited in Indonesia after ww2 "police actions" as if it wasn't horrific crimes against people who were (justifiably) tired of being occupied and abused by foreign invaders and colonizing dickhats.

Sure, we "lost" the Dutch East Indies. We are not actively colonizing anymore. And yet, we still haven't learned a thing. That "VOC mentality" was never gone, it's still there. It's that mentality of thinking business above everything else, money makes right, who cares how horrifically you abuse people, who cares about the massacre of the Banda islands when you now have all the yummy nutmeg to use and sell. It's not something to be admired, it's something we have to address and resolve, but we're not. We're not doing that, but we have to if we ever want justice of any kind.

We're ruled by dickheads who think that saying "from the river to the sea" is a hatecrime that should be condemned. "Yeah sure, you would've probably said the same thing about the utterance of "Republik Indonesia" less than 100 years ago, no?" is what I say to that. We have not successfully freed ourselves of this damn colonizer mindset!

The only reason the Netherlands ever stopped the "police actions" is because we were threatened with sanctions. Post WW2, it was stop the "police actions" (read: many war crimes) or lose the money from the Marshall Plan needed to rebuild your ruined country. The choice was easy enough.

But noooooo, we can't sanction Israel to get them to, ya know, STOP BOMBING HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND CIVILIANS IN GENERAL!!! They're our friends! Fuck no. I know why those asshats ain't sanctioning Israel (at least one of the reasons): they'd lose access to fucking Pegasus; spyware surpreme. Wanna spy on some journalists? Perhaps the opposition? Scary activists? Pegasus is THE spyware for you! Infect ppl's phones and suck up All Teh Data wihout them knowing. Suspected detection of the stuff somehow? Self-destruct, boom. Fantastic stuff if you're into violating ppl's privacy. I don't see this talked about a lot, but Israel is Scary in the cyberwarfare department. And they sell this expertise.

I support Palestine. I hope to see it freed someday. Hopefully soon

To Israel(is): decolonize ur shit. I know, it's hard, it's painful, you'll have to question and unlearn a lot of things. Heck, it may give you an existential and/or moral crisis for a bit. I still get one about nutmeg sometimes. But just like desinfecting a wound, it is ultimately beneficial.

PALESTINIAN PEOPLE DESERVE LIFE AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER PEOPLE

When your music tastes take you to a band you've heard of before but haven't really listened to and you check them out and yes, they're great, but it was also the worst thing you could've done for your own peace of mind because now you may be getting a dumbass celebrity crush.
