so hi! if ur seeing this that means my queue is actually officially empty and this is the last thing that's gonna post. i am ditching tumblr so fast because simply put i do not enjoy using it anymore and it actually like actively makes me mad being on here nowadays, and i decided i'd rather just like. use my time to do literally anything else lol
i know i have that other post up but i'm turning notifications off for tumblr bc i'm sick of getting daily (and multiple throughout the day as well) notifications of bots following me ^_^ so i will just put my discord here now since i won't actually see any messages: my venus wenus of course#6436 (i never updated my username and as of me writing this that still works so TEEHEE) feel free to add me on there :^)
as for other places i've ended up using twitter a bit more of all things? it will never be x to me sorry. still not on there a lot but i'm there more than i am here so lol i'm petalblast over there. i probably won't ever post art there tho so my instagram risa.onda would be a good place to keep up with that instead (of course it's entirely at the mercy of. me making art, i'm working on getting back into the groove)
THAT SAID...i thought abt it and my story/oc sideblog here (url of @petalblast as Well) i'll probably still use to post story/oc specific stuff for the sake of keeping it all in a place together but again, that's at the mercy of me making any of that. i'd prefer to be on here as little as possible at this point so whenever it does come up i'll most likely just drop a post and then dip out again. but i definitely do want to go back to working on that so who knows, maybe i'll hit a burst of inspiration and have a lot to post in the future
this blog will still be up of course but it just probably won't post anything from this point on. rip to a legend, absolute ride and i love u all hope to keep in touch, hopefully everything everywhere gets better at some point or at least stops absolutely barrelling down the hill at the speed of light bc i know i'm not the only one so so tired LOL. sorry this was so much more text than i expected to write anyway byeeeeeee <3

URL change
This blog was known as PokeDexter’sLaboratory back in the pre-NSFW-ban days. I had a side-account called AfterglowAmpharos which was my afterdark. The afterdark serves no purpose nowadays (but I’m renaming it to AfterdarkAmpharos just in case), so I’m updating my main account with the name I use everywhere else on the net, AfterglowAmpharos.

Vivaldi and UnGoogled Chromium do not have the Topics API / FLoC
Agree with @tparadox's tags that too many adblocker/privacy extensions is not a good idea.
My personal opinions follow
Not Recommended:
HTTPS Everywhere is *good*, it just is not needed anymore (not for some years), FF very nearly enforces that by default, and there is a native setting that will totally lock out the ability to go to non-HTTPS sites
DDG extension - not needed, just set your search engine to it. It is redundant when you have a reasonable set of privacy extensions / good browser settings. I would not trust the "AdBlocker Ultimate" and "AdBlocker for YouTube" extensions. They should be 100% redundant with the well known and excellent uBlock Origin.
Ghostery nowadays is owned by a for profit company and at least at one time would "optionally" show you ads: https://web.archive.org/web/20180526054400/https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/what-is-ghostery-rewards/
In any case, a for profit company isn't going to maintain something like that without a profit angle of some sort.
Privacy Possum is all about "being tracked" albeit with incorrect information. I do not know how it interacts with privacy preserving extensions/features. Not recommend, but it is possible it is ok. AFAIK the project itself is ok? just a matter of how it interacts with others.
AdNauseam and TrackMeNot are very similar to each other and somewhat like Privacy Possum. They mainly are about polluting the tracking data sets. I have not heard of them before, they do seem to be independent open source projects, not owned by companies. So they might be ok, if polluting tracking results is what you want to do. I personally don't see the value over just avoiding tracking. If you do want to do it, you probably shouldn't have all these other blockers. AdNauseam specifically says you should uninstall other adblockers like AdBlock Plus or uBlock Origin.
Most of the above extensions are at best a waste of resources, may slow your browser down, etc, some may be actually harmful in various ways.
Neutral, may be ok - but I don't know for sure - if you need/want them:
SponsorBlock is ok AFAIK, it is an open source community project. I'd put it with "Recommended" but it doesn't help your privacy really, it just jumps past the YT sponsorship segments - which are pre-recorded in the video, not shown to you based on tracking, etc.
Blue Blocker - IDK anything about it. Check if the site looks good, is it owned by a company and if it is open source. But really why are you on Twitter at this point... Also not a privacy helper.
Unhook might be ok, it has the FF recommend badge at least. Check if open source etc. Not a privacy preserver.
"Don't Track Me Google" Might be ok (has FF recommend badge at least), might not, it just seems to remove the Google search redirection (when you click a URL on the search results page it sends you through another google URL first). Using a different search engine like DDG is probably better.
Recommend (from the above list):
uBlock Origin - possibly the best adblock of all, open source project, thorough, flexible, and up to date.
Privacy Badger (from the EFF) - good adaptive tracking protection, not based on static lists, an interesting approach. I don't currently use it, but I am not going for maximum privacy anyway.
Facebook Container - uses Firefox's native container system to isolate Facebook in such a way that FB will largely think that FB is the only site you visit (in certain respects, other aspects are taken care of by e.g. setting a strong cookie policy in FF, using uBlock Origin). I just use the full Multi-Account Containers (below), but they can be used together if you want.
Some not mentioned above:
ClearURLs:
As far as I know currently the best URL cleaner - removes FB, Amazon, UTM, etc tracking codes from URLs. However seems to be a bit under-maintained right now, hopefully the author is able to work more on it or gets helpers or something soon.
Multi-Account Containers is the same idea (and FF infrastructure) as FB Container, but you can make many different containers and control which sites go in which ones, etc. Also lets you be logged into the same site as different users (e.g. as two totally different tumblr accounts (not sideblogs)). Very good but takes some setup effort.
And of course, NoScript is great, but requires a good bit of setup work and then some ongoing work just as part of using it. It gets pretty easy mostly with some practice, but that does put people off. However it can really help privacy and often just web page speed as well.
So that's six recommend, and I wouldn't want too many more general privacy extensions than that (ones for very specific cases/issues might be different), and also notice these do not overlap much in functionality (except the two Container ones)
hello google chrome refugees
don't use any of these browsers, they're also chrome
Here are my favorite firefox plugins for security/anti-tracking/anti-ad that I recommend you get
please get off chrome google is currently being investigated for being an Illegal Monopoly so get outta there okay love you bye

GAAHHHH it was really silly of me to ask what music you like. it literally slipped my mind that your url is a vocaloid song. i guess i asked because there are so many vocaloid songs, and so many different vibes and sounds, the vocaloid music one likes could differ greatly from that of another. i *do* listen to vocaloid, surprisingly & embarrassingly sparingly, as i'm a proseka fan. but do rule out your prsk-only mutuals. hmm...to give you a hint, my favorite units are mmj and niigo. i have a project sekai url, but i don't talk about it much nowadays >_> mostly because my ipad—what i play on—is on the fritz, and i plan on saving up to buy a new one so i can both play and draw digitally. it has been so saddening, not being able to do either of those things 。゜゜(´O`) ゜゜。in terms of proseka characters, you give me saki vibes ! she and shiho are my faves from leoni ♪
drop pop candy is such a cute song! and it's clearly very special to you. i remember listening to it for the first time in an undertale animation on youtube. i think my first vocaloid song was triple baka. i also like a wide range of styles, but i, too, love upbeat and energetic songs like you do. i won't right now because in my last ask i recommended you a whole album, but i'll make sure to send over some energetic kpop songs i think you'll like at some point ♡
CHICKEN TENDERS IS CRAZY LOL & it makes for a very funny story, if i do say so myself! the sugar bit is very telling. it's like i can smell and taste them myself just from the way you described it. do you remember what song you were listening to, or has it since slipped your mind? even if your synesthesia is mild, i still think it's cool! does drop pop candy smell like anything to you?
re: your tags I DO THE SAME THING. emojis, kaomojis & emoticons are perfect punctuation ^^ especially in online spaces, i think. i don't use kaomojis a lot in text because they're a hassle to copy and paste, but i love simple emoticons like :3 and ^_^ as well as emojis. also, it's easy to break up separate thoughts into several messages 🌸
+ the game is on !!!!! yay ! i'll be looking out for yellow hearts in my inbox, then. i'm trying to think of hints that don't make my identity obvious LOL. let's seeee...there aren't any dashes in my url & my favorite sanrio character is kuromi.
one last note: you're not the only person who assigned me leafeon via that game :> my friend reblogged with the tag "im breaking molds im shattering expectations . leafeon" which made me laugh a little to myself. everyone else mostly says sylveon!
i'll make sure to drink some water today ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა you have a nice morning/afternoon/evening yourself . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁
♡, sylvie
OOOOOH okay!!! maybe ill make a list of all the hints i have of u some day :3 (maybe ill do it in the tags? idk)
i have been told i give saki vibes lol she was actually my pfp before i made my blog mirabelle themed ☆w☆ i love her a lot!! she's one of my favorite characters from any piece of media ever so i'm glad people compare me to her :D
i do remember what song triggered the chicken tender thing!! it was empurple, the new mafuyu commission. i'm in a bunch of project sekai servers so people were posting it everywhere right after it came out and on my very first listen i was immediately hit with a wave of Very Specific smell. it was super weird!! because up to that point i hadn't really experienced any bouts of synthesasia that weren't subtle enough to just write off as "my brain playing tricks on me" or something similar @-@
drop pop candy smells like cotton candy!! but it doesn't TASTE like cotton candy, it tastes like,,, birthday cake flavoring? i think that's it. kinda hard to tell it's just Really Sweet
yea!!! on discord i usually use server emojis or just send separate messages but you can't do that when replying to an ask so i just use faces :3
the game is afoot!! i'll add those clues to my mental box of em >:D
oo! i was not expecting that someone else would pick leafeon :o guess i am also breaking molds and expectations HAJSGSHSHD
i will have a nice evening!! i hope u do as well :DDD
#askbox on mars!#SORRY THIS JS SO LATE i could explain everything that got in the way but long story short is real life stuff would Not Stop Happening#better late than never?#ANYWAYS so here r my hints for u now >:3#-prsk url with no dashes in it#-mmj and niigo fan#-one of ur three favorite pokemon is sylveon and other people think u have sylveon vibes#-you use emoticons and kaomojis#-fav sanrio character is kuromi#-you like clairo and kpop#-your timezone is mine or earlier than mine (unless tumblr sent me the ask hours after u sent it in which case u could be anywhere)#uhhh i think that's it. but honestly it's more about vibes#i can't be SURE that i'll know u if i see u but i think i will probably

for the record, since you seem to be under the impression that outdoor cats in the uk and europe don't kill native wildlife, here are links to studies and articles about wildlife outside the us. it's really dangerous to pretend it's only the us or australia, it's absolutely a problem for songbirds and rodents in europe as well:
https:// www . rspb . org .uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/gardening-for-wildlife/animal-deterrents/cats-and-garden-birds/are-cats-causing-bird-declines/
https:// www. theguardian .com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors
https:// academic. oup. com/jel/article/32/3/391/5640440?login=false
https:// www. nationalgeographic .co. uk/animals/2020/09/the-232-animals-in-this-photo-were-killed-by-house-cats-in-just-one-year
The first thing is "uhhhh maybe this happens" try this instead: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwin8pSXkMb-AhX3VKQEHfiWDwYQFnoECA4QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.rspb.org.uk%2Fcfs-file.ashx%2F__key%2Ftelligent-evolution-components-attachments%2F00-905-01-00-00-04-45-18%2FCats-and-garden-birds.pdf&usg=AOvVaw32SpC-SnrVNQ2TpFVrG_Oa For some reason they have removed this from their website, but keep it in a hidden link! Weird! It's also they answer they still give to the press! It seems they prefer to give a non-commital answer nowadays on the open site.
The second is what I'm saying babe, please read your own sources.
Hey it's the thing I said about what they give as their response to the press. It's basically an article going "We have concerns. In other countries they do things. Our scientists say we don't have any problem, but we have concerns." Third one is basically an opinion piece, but this part is very funny:
We are going to have to remove the windows. (I know there's things you can do to stop window collissions but still this is funny in something trying to say how cats should be indoors everywhere.)
57 is about Hawaii, sure, keep your cats indoors there, but don't flush your litter. Boy I'm glad we don't have spanish lynx here, maybe that's a spain issue they can talk about. Additionally still no rabies in the UK sorry, though I think most humans have toxoplasmosis by now, and feline leukemia is vaccinated against.
woa does it my dude, maybe the part of hawaii in europe, sure
Now minks are a big problem, and should all be shot. They're bigger killers than cats, and are newly invasive and mostly released from fur farms. The idiots who released them should have killed them all. Additionally the fur farms shouldn't have existed, like what's wrong with sheep, sheep have nice fur. Leave the minks in the USA.
If there's an outsize predation risk because it's a small island with a small and specific breeding population, then sure kill all the cats. It's like how you should kill all the rats or the pigs as well. If the population is sustainable with the cats, then it doesn't matter.
wow france has not been doing agriculture good for the hamster, quelle surprise, what's that? The CJEU didn't mention les chats? damn, maybe the cats aren't the problem
lmao what the fuck
I think that was a very stupid article of people trying to lawyer their way into banning outdoor cats rather than use relevant science. The last thing is the USA again. Like please, read your sources, they can show you that the Irish apparently tried using explosives to build an underwater pipeline.

oh! hi~ been a while~
i’m sorry that i said i was doing a short hiatus and then........never came back. at least, to tumblr/the sims community. i still been on twitter and instagram and twitch and stuff!
it’s funny because occasionally i would get emails about asks, emails about new followers etc and i’m like huh i really should either do something with my blog or deactivate it. but! i sometimes come back and read all the sweet old messages, read my embarrassing old gameplays and remember the fun i had just learning how to express myself online and come out of my shell.
i mean as embarrassing as i think of myself from only a few years ago, i really was an am super grateful for all the people i met and positive experiences I had! without one day deciding to run a sims blog and make gameplays and make edits and talk to people and interact i wouldn’t have: - met some of my first real internet friends - found my best friends in the world (all international too) - found my current partner (of 2 years now~!) - started to feel more confidence and less anxiety sharing myself and my art online - been able to start my online store for my art
cuz I was really in a pivotal place in my life when i started my blog! I’m sure this sounds cringe bc like...its a sims blog lol BUT I was a fresh uni graduate, i was in a relationship that i had been in most of my adult life and it was about to end, i had 2 irl friends and that was the length of my social circle. it’s so weird to see how far I’ve come and how far away all of that stuff was (and i only stopped posting here in feb2019 that’s only 1 pandemic worth of time plus a sprinkle).
anyway, last night i was like i should just wipe the blog. but then i read it... for a couple hours. and I dont have the heart to wipe it! i do actually still play the sims in my off time, which is really super rare nowadays (i work a day job and run my store) and i thought about dumping random screens from when i play just somewhere that isn’t gonna annoy everyone in my discord server lol. i’ll prob tidy stuff up here, prob change the url (used to be geekism, then simbytes. my main @ everywhere is minabytes, so for simplicity’s sake) ummm yeah~! this post is mostly for me, i’ll read it again in another 3 years and see how much further i am!
thanks for hanging around, if you read this! sorry to anyone who missed my stuff, and if you dont wanna hang around for once in a blue moon screenshots then it’s no biggie! but thanks for being there then and being here now 💗

American Tries German Christmas Treats
so back in December, a dear friend of mine who lives in Germany sent me a box of marzipan goodies
because, as my URL suggests, I adore marzipan
international shipping being what it is right now, the package arrived yesterday. March 5, 2021. nice job, there, postal carriers! (I know, I know- it’s not their fault and they’re heroes for dealing with all the Current BS so well)
but since these are mass-produced dainties and thus 90% sugar/full of preservatives, they are still okay to eat. yay! and the flavored Marzipanbrot (marzipan bread, in English) is entirely new to me, I was keen to give it a try. so, for the amusement of my German readers and the enlightenment of my fellow non-Germans, here we go!
The Classic
OH MY GOD IT’S A RITTER SPORT SAUSAGE. this is the confectionery peak of my life to date.
perfect, everything, I’ve already eaten a solid quarter of it. 10/10
Pineapple-flavored
(”Ananas,” said every other European language. “PINEAPPLE,” said English. Go home, English; you are drunk.)
My brain had trouble processing all of these flavors together. So I’d get chocolate, then marzipan, then pineapple, then marzipan again, then more pineapple, then the chocolate, etc. instead of chocolate-pineapple-marzipan. Not unpleasant, just perhaps not the sensory experience the manufacturers were going for.
Wouldn’t have expected this flavor, either. Are pineapples very popular with chocolate in Europe? I mean, they’re delicious and global food importation is a Thing, so I guess they’re popular everywhere; we just don’t usually do tropical flavors in our chocolate here. Especially for Christmas. That’s more of a “fancy specialty chocolate shop” thing in the U.S, and it’s more associated with summer.
A novel surprise, and certainly multiple great flavors in the same place! 8/10
Rum-raisin
I’ve actually never had rum raisin anything, so this was very new to me. We do have it here, but it’s considered something of an old-fashioned flavor. It does get trotted out more around Christmastime, and it was really popular in ice cream when I was very little. Though I feel like I don’t see it around as much nowadays. (See also: the part of the 1995 Casper movie where Carrigan demands “a pint of Haagen-Dasz ice cream, rum raisin,” from room service.)
I liked the flavor! I feel like it was mostly raisin with just a hint of boozy depth to it. The chocolate worked really well with it, too. My one quibble was that it kind of overwhelmed the marzipan, save for a faint aftertaste of almond. But I don’t know if, in this sort of thing, the marzipan is meant to be more of a delivery system for the specialty flavor and not something you taste on its own.
Now I see what all the fuss was about! 8.5/10
Dark chocolate
I was surprised to see this one, since I know marzipan is almost always paired with dark chocolate. And for good reason- milk chocolate + marzipan would just be way too sweet, IMO. Might as well just eat the marzipan on its own.
I actually busted out Google Translate to make sure my non-German-speaker instincts were right re: the flavor, but yes, “zartbitter” really does mean “dark.” So I think this is what we might call “extra-dark” in America? Or we’d just put the percentage on there- my guess is ~80%.
I didn’t really taste the chocolate as much as with normal chocolate-covered marzipan. It was a bit like an aftertaste, a hint of bitterness to balance out the very sweet almond flavor. Like a slightly more sophisticated version of normal marzipan. And like I said, I love marzipan on its own, so this is a winner for me!
Yo dawg, I heard you like marzipan, so I added a slight contrasting flavor to your marzipan to make it taste even more marzipan-y. 9/10
They were all delicious, and I look forward to gobbling them up with wild abandon. Thank you so much, friend! Merry belated Christmas!
(I should add that a LOT of Americans really don’t like marzipan, and probably more than half of us have never even tried it. I’m attempting to get my housemates to accept its glory into their hearts. Wish me luck.)
