JUMPING ON THIS BAND WAGGON

Ok here’s my 2020, tw//mentions of suicide and abuse

(Strong start lmao) 2020 sucked ass lemmi tell ya. This year was a fucking train wreck from the start, ur hay I got character development so who cares. Well let’s start with a review, bad things first.

Yall remember when everyone was scared shields of COVID?. Lol. But that’s stating the obvious. When we went into lockdown I was first like fuck yeah summer lol, but then the threat of ‘staying home for the rest of the year’ set in, bing in my first year of sixth form I really understand the stakes of exams next year. So having to stay home for the rest of the year freaked me the fuck out. I literally couldent cope, having to do all classes online was fucking hell, they were never zoom classes either, just ‘lmao do the work and hand it in’ which was near impossible for me. I was also in the constant ‘oh no I’m so stressed but I will do NOTHING about this lmao~’. As the days turned to weeks and inevitably MONTHS, my mental health said buckle up bitches. Days were spent sitting in my room on my phone doing NOTHING, meanwhile this perpetual notion of stress played in my head yet there I sat not having the will or motion to move.

Then my parents got involved. Now THATS when shit went from pretty crummy to awful, now I was living with them constantly I was able to see who they really were with no real filter. And oh god do I have issues, I didn’t even fucking know. Every day was an argument, my mom was the worst, the MANIPULATION, the constant ‘you're tearing this family apart’ or ‘so I’m the problem?’ Or the fucking indecent playing the victim. And I all only just realised, that they have been doing this ALL MY LIFE. Dad got involved but he was just physically violent, only twice tho. The worst part was my work, admittedly yes, I didn’t do everything I was given, but I tried, I really did with what little motivation I had. But with just one ‘oh your daughter hasn’t handed in this work’ I was a ‘lazy, good for nothing failure’ to quote ‘who will never go anywhere in life’ so I’d spend the rest of the day crying while they play the victim bury saupying I was abusing their love and just using them for money. But the next day be like ‘oh I’m so proud of you you're doing so well’ having that statement being completely unrelated to the previous events. This was constant. So that’s that story. I won’t talk much about Black Lives Matter because we all know about how that went. But it really affected me, I found myself crying over the victims multiple times. And the lack of support for the movement my peers or family showed made it fucking worse. Crying was a common occurrence for me now, mental health really taking a nosedive, being too scared to call myself ‘depressed’ or ‘mentally ill’ to any extent because I know I’m faking it and just want validation. That was also constant. Fun times huh.

BUT IT GETS WORSE 🥲, then I had to go back to school, awful to fucking abhorrent now. Year two of sixth form fun right? Sure, if u take away the ‘no free time period’ or the wanting to kill mystery for literally a whole 3 weeks. That was my lowest peak. Ever. I’ve never wanted to kill myself before then, don’t like that feeling. Shocker huh. That mixed with the constant anxiety of nothing is right anymore and also needing to succeed at school all made one healthy dose of ‘.exe has stopped working’ juice. Yet I played the fool, acting happy as if nothing had happened, or was happening at least, and venting by imagining scenes in my head with fictional characters lmao. Telling myself ’u can’t kill yourself because u don’t deserve too and ur just asking for attraction’. Then midterms happened blah blah blah, stress but I’m numb to it now that whole story.

But that’s not to say there wasn’t a silver lining.

Onto the good things finally, yes the year was probably one of the worst years I’ve been through in my life it did not go without its positives. For example early this year I got into borderlands properly, I finally explored the fandom and had a look at what it was like. Albeit a slow process considering I was still predominantly on Instagram at the time, and finding a community of a fandom on there is impossible. I started browsing Pinterest or the Internet for images that would link to my favourite characters, Who were to no ones surprise is the calypso twins. Pinterest led me to artworks and artworks led me to the infamous Lazulizard. Who I cherish all my being. Three weeks later after looking at her entire tumblr blog and stalking her of pretty much all her content (sorry for that by the way) I found border-spam. By this point I didn’t have tumblr and I had no intention of getting it seeing as an ongoing war I’ve had with myself since 2012, declaring I will be the bigger man and never get tumblr, which in hindsight was an awful mindset. Seeing as tumblr is probably one of my favourite places on Earth right now. But after also stalking border spams account, again sorry, and starving her of any content she’d ever posted. I was happy that this fandom although as niche as it is was actually getting content. At the time spam and lazu were absolute gods to me. Being the sole producer of a fandom I probably wasn’t even in properly, having both impeccable writing and impeccable art like good God. I would often think ‘wow wouldn’t it be incredible if I actually got to talk to them one day’, now look at me I’m doing commissions for both of them good God. And to be short joining tumblr felt like a fever dream and it’s probably the greatest thing I could’ve done this year, my parents are wrong, talking to strangers is amazing.

Something notable of mention this year as I actually got to figure out who I am as a person, I was able to find my own style and to find my interests, specifically in what I liked in terms of clothing. I thought I was LOL 2012 goth hipster but no apparently I’m manic Pixie dream girl. Going from pink is the ugliest colour in the world to having it be the only colour I will ever wear. I made some pretty big choices this year like cutting pretty much all of my hair off and dying it for the first time. Thanks strict parents for only letting me do that one now. But like I said I went to a character Ark and you know what I like it. I also played BioShock fallout and horizon zero dawn for the first time this year starting to really feel like a proper epic gamer, good lord kill me, and falling in love with all of them almost immediately. I also figured out on a plant mum and I’m into vulture culture although my parents have to disagree with that one. Asking to buy an Horse and fox skull somehow scared them a little bit can’t seem to figure out why lmao.

So a conclusion, Fuck you 2020 you made me miss two comic cons and I will never forgive you for that shit I am SO mad. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt you did make me meet some absolutely incredible people who I consider my friends, despite going against every single Internet safety law I was ever taught as a child. But you know what who gives a flying shit I love you guys. So that’s what I wanted to say. I want to say thank you to everyone on here and everyone is following me or even interacted me with on that matter. You mean the world to me and I really fucking mean it. Are you going to be nothing but amazing ever since I walked onto this fucking hell hole. And what I go through all of this bullshit again if it means I ended up here? You know what I think I just might. So again I thank you and I hope your year didn’t go as badly as mine, and fuck it bring on whatever the fucks next!

Honourable mention of this year was The time Elisa actually complimented me and I cried a little bit and had a panic attack but you know that’s for another day

🥺💕

Mobile internet offerings restored after 2 weeks in Kashmir

New Post has been published on https://pagedesignhub.com/mobile-internet-offerings-restored-after-2-weeks-in-kashmir/

Mobile internet offerings restored after 2 weeks in Kashmir

Mobile Internet services were restored in Kashmir on Saturday, two weeks when they have been suspended in view of full-size student protests within the Valley in opposition to alleged highhandedness of security forces at a college in Pulwama on April 15.

(Think your youngster is too young? Over 20 percentage of 4th – 5th graders have a social networking profile.

Even if kids simplest use their cell gadgets in the course of the travel to and from faculty, they want to use them correctly. Personal tracking is not always viable. Even whilst they’re inside the identical room, a determine can not read what is on a small display screen without sitting right subsequent to their toddler.

To make certain that your cell children are accurately surfing the cell web, here are 10 recommendations to preserve your toddler secure on-line.

Facebook is bullying the hell out of Snapchatand it’s working

Image: Bob Al-Greene/Mashable

For Facebook, Snapchat isn’t an app to be feared.

It’s a featureto be absorbed.

The world’s largest social network relentlessly taunts Snap Inc., their much-smaller competitor, known mostly for its disappearing messages app, by lifting Snap’s core functionality, and dumping it into a variety of products it doesn’t really belong.

Who knows what Facebook’s really thinkingthe company tends to promote its features with fluff about letting you “share all the moments of your day“but the ripoffs are almost certainly less about providing a service to users, and much more about outright killing Snapchat.

SEE ALSO: I’m starting to love Instagram Stories more than Snapchat because I’m incredibly thirsty

Some important background: An article in Bloomberglast year said Facebook was in a froth over a decline in “personal sharing” on its social network, which is used by 1.23 billion people every day. (Snapchat’s got 158 million daily users, its IPO filing revealed.) Personal sharing’s important: Your News Feed can’t just be a wasteland of viral videos and news about Hillary Clinton harvesting baby organs or whateveryou return to Facebook to see what your friends are up to.

When friends post personal statuses or pictures, it encourages you to do the same. Then Facebook has a nice crop of eager content-sharers to serve highly personalized ads to. Then, Facebook makes several billion dollars. Great!

The rub for Facebook, here, is that Snapchat’s all about intimate moments (and body parts) shared between friends (and lovers). You can take a snap of whatever, send it to whomever, and you don’t have to worry about your aunt or kid seeing itas you do on Facebook. It’s a popular idea, and at the time of the Bloomberg report, Snapchat was enjoying explosive growth in its user base:

This lovely graph shows Snapchat’s robust growth over a couple of years ending in December 2015.

Image: Comscore

Facebook’s made all sorts of News Feed tweaks to push “personal” content to the top, but it seems that wasn’t enough, because last year, it started ripping off Snapchat something fierce. For example: Facebook took Snap’s “Story” conceptwherein users share a series of snapshots or videos that are no longer than 10 seconds, which are deleted after 24 hoursand shoved it into Instagram. The move was so transparently ham-fisted you could glaze it with honey and call it dinner.

It’s kind of nuts that Facebook got away with it, but as FastCompany explained at the time, there was nothing illegal about it.

“Its okay to take somebodys idea so long as your expression of it is different,” Duke law professor Arti Rai told the outlet. Even if the “Stories” functionality is essentially the same, the context of Instagram’s app is, we suppose, fundamentally different than Snapchatso, no crime here.

Facebook’s “Stories” don’t make sense

Instagram, meanwhile, has historically been about picking moments from your life, manicuring them, and showing them off to your friends and followers. Many people don’t post to Insta more than once or twice a day, if even, because there’s only so much in your life that’s worth showing off:

We have fun here

A post shared by Damon B (@dlberes) on Mar 13, 2017 at 8:15am PDT

Content shared on Snapchat is less manicured. The app outwardly encourages you to share with your friends constantly by gameifying “Streaks,” which you get for having back-and-forth interactions with individuals. Stories, which are shared with more people than an individual snap would be, are perhaps more selective, but still maintain an off-the-cuff vibe:

Lord help us.

Image: Snapchat

The introduction of “Stories” into Instagram thus takes a very specifically un-precious kind of content and shoves it into maybe the most precious social network this side of Pinterest. It’s like putting pepperoni on chocolate ice cream. It doesn’t really matter, because Facebook’s version of Storiesand with it, we should note, a very snap-like individual-to-individual sharing featureis purely a brute-force assault on Snapchat.

And that’s the message Facebook wants to send the world: Snapchat isn’t an app, it’s a throwaway feature.

As TechCrunch noted last month, Instagram Stories seems to have kneecapped Snapchat, slowing its growth by 82 percent at the end of last year. After all: Why download a new app if you can get its features on the one you already use?

Meanwhile, Snap’s stock hurtled downward since shares opened to investors earlier this month.

But Facebook’s attack doesn’t stop there.

The company’s now rolled the Stories feature out far beyond Instagram. It’s been deployed in some form on Facebook Messenger, which has 1 billion users; on WhatsApp, which has 1.2 billion; and it’s being tested on the mack daddy of them all, the Facebook app.

Stories are coming to the Facebook app.

Image: Facebook

And that’s the message Facebook wants to send the world: Snapchat isn’t an app, it’s a throwaway feature.

Facebook doesn’t need you to use stories: It needs you to see that it’s everywhere you look, and that it can be bundled with a bunch of other apps that you use anyway. In Facebook World, there’s no need to download or open Snapchatyour friends are on Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and your News Feed anyway.

And it’s pretty awful. Why? Well, Snapchat’s vibe is a hundred times cooler than Facebook’s Stories, which are littered with unimaginative stickers and filters. Snapchat has a vibe. It’s an app, sure, but at least it’s an app with an aesthetic. And Mark Zuckerberg’s social behemoth could use some serious competition on its path towards gobbling up the world. Bottom line: Monopolies are never good.

The hard reality is that Facebook is winning the war for your Stories, and Snapchat needs to come up with a few new hooksideally beyond its not-so-cool-anymore Spectacles camera. Otherwise, that iconic ghost icon may prove all too prophetic.

WATCH: Airbus new flying car concept looks like it’s straight out of The Jetsons’
