the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

#jack facts #like do they think we don't notice #i truly do hate it here #i really do think that we should get to a ''you ruined it for everyone'' threshhold with ads at this point tbh #circulating ads should be a need based allowance #below a certain nw you can circulate as many ads as you want provided they follow guidelines #then above a certain nw you get a quota. you can have x number of ads circulating at a time.#and i don't mean distinct different ads that can be put wherever. no. if you have an ad on youtube that counts as one #and if you put the SAME AD on a different platform or tv channel or at the fucking gas station pumps or on a billboard or ANYWHERE #each different instance of the ad counts as another ad in your quota!#& if you have like a 1min skippable + a 30sec unskippable v of the same ad on the same platform. that counts as two. FUCK you.#and then above another nw line. you cannot have ads at all. bye you don't need them they serve no purpose they are just annoyances.#also paying influencers to hawk your shit counts as ads! fuck you!! paid word of mouth is not actual wom that is also an ad! fuck you!!!#oh u want ppl to rec ur product & u don't have any ad spots left?? well sugar you better have a fucking good product then lol :) fuck you #also if a co breaks an ad reg that co and any co it owns/parents can never make another fucking ad ever again in its existence #AND if a ceo breaks an ad reg w one co then disbands it and makes a new co and breaks ad reg w that one #then the CEO or any co they have ANY % ownership or investment in can never make an ad ever again. FUCK you.#charities/nonprofits and sole proprietorships get one (1) appeal to a total ad ban #that's IT!! ENOUGH!!!!! ENOUGH!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#AND ONE MORE THING. ''pay us not to see ads on our platform/app/other thing'' should also be illegal.#''pay us for basic ass functions'' illegal. pay to win. illegal. sale/product announcements in things that are not press. illegal.#creating an ad or listing for something that doesn't exist and only manufacturing it after it is purchased. illegal.#ads that are full screen when a user has not already selected full screen on a video player. illegal.#pop up ads. illegal.#ads with audio on a platform that doesn't. illegal. video ads on a platform that doesn't have video. illegal.#ads w epilepsy triggers. illegal everywhere forever always w out needing to be reported by consumers. cannot be circulated in the 1st place #ads w graphic violence or soundscapes that mimic it. see epilepsy triggers.#ads for things that are not actually consumer products. illegal.#anything else u want to circulate like an ad must go thru other regs to qualify as psa or edu. if it doesn't qualify tough shit get fucked.#[insert gif collage of people talking extensively while wildly gesturing for emphasis here]

I've seen people argue that "well it makes sense that Remnant has no prejudice or discrimination since they constantly face a threat to their very existence! It would be counter-productive."

And each time I can't help but feel dumbfounded when people say that - like, sweet summer child, have you LOOKED at our very real world?

#rwby #rwde #also Remnant absolutely h as prejudices LMAO #it doesn't matter what word of god says in this case #Cardin or Schnees wouldn't exist without actual societal prejudices being a thing #I think I said that before but it is something that seems to be in need of being repeated ad nauseam #So once more with feeling - ignoring prejudices in your fictional work does not make them disappear

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard*#I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details #of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point #but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag #of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there #are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance #but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly #doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. )#the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead #of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like #you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image #or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i #wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol)#hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe #I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing #that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc #eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that #this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently #wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj #Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU #CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!! THEY DONT EXIST!!! THE EYELETS DONT EVEN LINE UP THE SHOES DONT EVEN #MATCH THE PATTERNS ARE GIBBERISH!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie*#Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol #I think moreso the lacking of context? Like for example I find the enneagram interesting but I nearly ALWAYS preface any talking about it #with ''and I know this is not scientifically accurate it's just an interesting system humans invented to classify ourselve and our traits #and I find it sociologically fascinating the same way I find religion fascinating'. If someone presented personality typing information wit #out that sort of context or was purporting that enneagram types are like 100% solid scientific truth and people should be classified by the #unquestionaingly in daily life or something then.. yeah fuck that. If these images had like disclaimers BIG in the image description somewh #re like 'this is not a real thing it's just an AI generated image I made up' then fine. I still largely disagree with the ethics behind AI #art but at least it's informed. It's the fact that people just post images w/o context or beleive a falsehood about it.. then its aAAAAAA

thinking about this post but also it's more than that. do you ever think about how stories starring men are allowed to be about humanity but stories starring women have to be about Womanhood

#it's just the same discourse from like the 2010s about how girls will read about boys but boys won't read about girls #and we haven't gotten anywhere #even when it's like in a feminist way!!! there's room for stories about Womanhood obviously #but believe it or not ''women'' is not the only significant trait or experience that that half of the population has #and frankly I think it's counterproductive to focus every woman-centric narrative on the Woman aspect in some kind of feminism way #especially I feel like in adaptations that get a more hashtag feminism focus! like that story was about a person that was a woman #and you made it into a story about Women. which. ok #but was it not enough for her to just be a human being #experiencing human experiences that perhaps men could relate to #but a story with a male main character is allowed to exist on its own terms #no one's like. okay the main theme of this is obviously something to do with masculinity #(unless that's actually true)#a man is still the default character to explore your ideas and adding the ''girl'' trait is seen as like this extra distortion #that you would add only if you wanted to explore Womenness #like everyone's putting a guy in situations but hey maybe your guy could be a woman #even if the specific situation doesn't call for it #did you ever think of that?#and a lot of it I think is because men are conditioned not to relate to female characters #so making a male character would work to expand your audience because female readers are still willing to invest in him but not vice versa #but that doesn't mean we should just keep perpetuating the cycle #and only making stories about women specifically for women about Womanhood #that's just cementing the problem even further #obviously this is all a generalization and there are exceptions #this also applies to things like race #like in the US if you're making a story with a nonwhite main character suddenly it has to be like About Race or something

I keep seeing people respond to the Microsoft Recall bullshit with there's an ability to disable it and that misses the point. Several points in fact.

It's only a matter of time until an update bugs/"bugs" it and re-enables it without warning so people who had previously disabled it think they're in the clear until their info is leaked or they get a warning they're low on storage space.

If people don't have admin rights, they may not be able to disable it. Laptops given by work or school lock down what people can do with them, some going as far as dictating which browser one has to use on them. Even if you don't need admin rights to disable Recall, you may not have the ability to do so without losing the laptop and/or job and/or education.

I'm unsure of how it would handle multiple accounts but if it can be locked by someone else to always be enabled, children and people in abusive situations would also be unable to disable it. Even if it can't be locked, disabling it could result in punishment from a parent or the abuser.

Is it really disabled or is it "disabled" in that what the user sees is it being disabled while it's still collecting information and/or sending information to Microsoft in the background?

Such a feature should never have been automatically enabled in the first place. It's bad, predatory design to have such a feature enabled from the start and to expect users AKA customers to go out of their way to look up and then opt-out of something.

If disabling it really disables it, it can still result in stress and concern that it's not. The vast majority of people do not have the skills or knowledge to look into the OS guts to give themselves peace of mind that it really truly is disabled.

I'm sure I'm missing some, too.

TLDR is disabling is a bandaid someone else may rip off for you, someone may hurt you if you use, it may not work at all except as a placebo, and should have never been needed in the first place.

#that's not even touching on the legal aspect where it existing at all violates laws for some regions/companies/governments #the ability to disable also doesn't matter if you're barred from ever disabling it in the first place #how long until parents start berating/grounding/beating their kid(s) for 'using up all the storage space'?#and if google's 'ai' is anything to go by recall will have limited use and get things wrong #while also being a privacy and safety nightmare #there's already a history feature in windows and your browser of choice (plus bookmarks in said browser)#to me this smacks of find a use for something they developed without having a use first #while also adding a way for employers to spy on/control workers at a time when working from home is much more common #because while some employers will ban it others will use it to spy on employees and require it be enabled #'if you don't want us to know your personal passwords don't use work computers for personal browsing or accounts'#but also don't use your personal devices or pee outside of designated pee breaks as recall won't trigger if you're in the same spot #can't even set up a slow scroll or anything because the screenshots will show them you were on the same page for however long

I'm writing and had some funny dialogue, so I showed @joyfulcoffeewizard; just half a page so they wouldn't get any real spoilers...

( ^ The dialogue in question )

... and when she gives my computer back, I see that she added a note

She quoted Nimona! I have honestly never felt better about my writing than I have right now

#nimona #seriously that movie was amazing #I wish I could make something that good #adding tags for stuff that doesn't exist yet because why not?#nikole harrison #gordon harrison #eros the destroyer #tough love: cross my heart #writing humor #writers on tumblr #writeblr

I think Ryuseitai and Crazy:B should have an event together purely for the Rinne-Chiaki parallels because the !! Main Story really gave us "If I had taken one wrong step, I would've ended up exactly like you" and then just. Never really elaborated when there is so much that could be done with it???

Do you know how often I think about the potential of these two??? I am literally skimming through stories for Chiaki-Rinne mentions its that bad.

#chiaki and kanata would see rinnes kindness beneath it all and i think those three would have such a dynamic #esp bc rinne and kanata are already roommates + chiaki really wants to see the best in everyone #rinne would also look at them and see who he couldve been if the industry hadnt thrown him away and he wasnt raised that way and wasnt jade #like. almost like rinne-aira dynamic but its with people who understand the circumstances but ended up on the other side yknow #adding niki and meru to the mix too there bc they both have parallels to kanata especially and i think its interesting #bc himeru and niki are so set in the ways of their existence even when there is something clearly wrong to others #(himeru truly believing that being kaname is for his sake when kaname wouldnt want that and its hurting meru so badly)#(and niki being so convinced that all he needs is a good meal and he doesn't deserve anything else when he deserves so much)#kohaku i feel like would really get along with the ryusei juniors if he took the time to talk to them. maybe hiiro and aira introduce him #(does kohaku talk to hiiro a lot in-canon??? i feel like he knows him moderately well from aira but are they like. casual acquaintances???)#anyways yeah i really need to see them together for personal reasons #ensemble stars #enstars #ensemble stars music #ryuseitai #crazy:b #crazy b #rinne amagi #chiaki morisawa #raelyn rambles

Tanya the Evil always gives me Emotions when I try to read it, which does make it harder to get thru each book despite how much I love it, but I think I've made a Mistake by trying to read it while listening to Sabaton's "The War to End All Wars" album.

Y'all, I hit the song Versailles while reading Tanya's internal monologue about the cost of war while she was in the mop up of Operation Lock Pick. Y'ALL, when I say I had Too Many Emotions to continue reading, especially while on an airplane surrounded by strangers, I mean I had SO MANY EMOTIONS.

#there's always so much going on in the Tanya books #like I'll literally laugh out loud at something and then three pages later i'm having FEELINGS and need to put the book down to process #like.. objectively Tanya's protagonist halo letting her trigger coincidence after coincidence which makes the Commonwealth foam at the mouth #hunting for the mole/traitor that doesn't exist #and then you'll just get straight up gut punched with the most straightforward “hi yes war is hell and glorifying it is terrible” shit ever #combined with musings about a soldier's duty and the tightrope of survival as a soldier with limited options #and then the gut punch random reminders that Tanya is a super decorated war veteran with a Reputation and she's tiny! she's a child!#and after a point most everyone starts ignoring that outwardly she's a CHILD!#no one knows she's a transmigrator! no one knows she has an entire other life in her head!#they're just running with war genius child mage! she enlisted herself at NINE YEARS OLD! THIS WAS ALLOWED!#She saw her first action at like TEN!#(objectively she IS actively a bit of a war genius tho u know?)#(like she brushes it off as remembering essentially the history of war in our world but y'all..)#(y'all she's pulling memories of war tactics and maneuvers from her mind WITHOUT ABILITY TO REFERENCE ANYTHING)#(she's starting with what little she's being given as orders and what little she knows about the state of the war and the area terrain--#--and repeatedly putting these clues together into the Correct Answer to the point where she startles several superior officers)#(like yes she's not coming up with any of this on her own but she's remembering things she learned about and adding--#--the dimension of magecraft and repeatedly producing the same plan as her superiors without nearly as much current info)#(the amount of memory she needs to have for all those tactics/maneuvers/etc is incredible and shouldn't be discounted)#.... i had Feelings Again whoops #look she's not innocent or kind or good or even a RELIABLE NARRATOR but i love her so much

genuinely get so stressed out thinking about the future because i don't really have close friendships anymore, let alone a significant other (which is not something you need to be happy, but is something i do really want)

all i can really let myself happily focus on re: the future is thinking about all the good books i have yet to read, the meals i have yet to cook, the art i have yet to see, et cetera

#i used to tell myself one of the reasons to look forward to the future is the books you're going to write and publish #but that just doesn't work for me personally because it's added pressure on top of just trying to live my life #writing's something fun to do not something i need to do to justify my existence

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol

#I added a few people that you can randomly run into around town (like at the inn or in the forest or etc) and have very short conversations #with just to kind of flesh out the world a little more in a more natural-ish seeming way. Like nobody in the main cast would really #have much reason to talk about the actual city you're in or anything. Since most of them havent lived there that long anyway.#But if there's a ''city inspector'' that you can run into whilst he's writing up notes examining the local inn. then maybe there could be a #few dialogue options with him where you can ask about things like that. since he would know more about the area as an offical Government #Worker or etc. Optional of course. since I have to be so wary of my natural inclination to lore dump lol and am trying extra hard to make i #all stuff thats easily avoided/skipped. But for the people like ME who deliberately choose to exhaust every possible optional dialogue #option and explore every single inch of the world and try to collect as much information as possible - then there are a few extra places to #do that. Though obviously not all of them just give exposition for like 15 paragraphs blandly. Some you don't really learn anything from #and it's kind of just.. random flavor to make the non-shop map locations more ''lived in'' feeling. Like the random #little girl you can talk to in the park doesn't bizarrely start reading out the wikipedia description of some War that happened 10 years ag #or whatever. she's just complains about school a little and asks if you've tried the nearby ice cream cart treats and etc lol #ANYWAY..#some of the art is so so evil but I'm not going to spend 800 years trying to clean it up and update it. whatever the hell mess I sketched #out in 2018 or whatever is just what I'm keeping lol... it is what it is #One of the many trials of the whole 'briefly work a few months on something and then abandon it almost entirely only to pick up work #on it literally like 4 - 5 yrs later and now you must contend with trying to decipher whatever weird shit you did years ago' experience lol #Also given the population breakdowns of the world in general I think there's an unrealistic amount of jhevona in this lineup since #they're a much rarer species to just see out and about anywhere but.. it IS a global trading center type area. and the game #takes place in the north (the country of Asen. near the coast. for the maybe 2 or less people who actually keep up with my worldbuilding #enough to know where that is lol (the same continent as Navyete (where the avirre'thel live)) and there's a decent concentration #of nothern jhevona only a short ways away so... tee hee..I shall pretend it makes sense and not merely me just wanting #to represent more of that species because I think their lore is interesting lol #I MEAN also realistically there would NOT be a human here because humans are extremely isolated species that don't even know the rest #of the world exists really and human territories are extremely protected from the outside world but... of course it's like.. well we need #at least One of them to be there for the Optional Lore. Same with the Ythrili. But at least those are like.. PLAUSIBLE.. not nonsensically #outlandish. If I had a Verrucalt or something in there THEN that would be truly lore-breaking almost lol #ANYWAY.. rambling that only means anything to me because nobody else knows what I'm even referencing but hbjh #also I think my character designs are so funny in the sense that I really do just love to do the same thing over and over again ghbjh #wow... random asymmetry and belts and arm straps and high collars where the neck is completely covered?? you dont say..how novel

whenever i'm with large groups of people i have at least one moment of Oh God. People Think I'm Either A Man Or A Woman. it's like getting shocked every time lmao party meme but it's they don't know i'm nonbinary

#he looked scared! like i might think badly of him or treat him differently!#i have many gay friends!#i did? kind of come out? to my coworker?#but i mean she already knew i'm gay lmao it's so obvious when you assume i'm a man that i'm not straight 😭😭#i did have to make a split second decision to say either bi or gay and i said gay 😭 i do use both interchangeably personally #bc i use gay as like an umbrella term for not straight #but i know people tend to think of only homosexual and heterosexual lol bisexual people don't exist <3 #but really i didn't feel like doing a lesson on what bisexuality is if it was needed so 😭😭#my coworker was cool with it i was like i mean you probably know already but i'm gay lol and she said yeah i knew but it's your business #but um she was kinda outing our ex coworker? and i know she told me bc i'm obviously gay myself but.......#it's not cool to tell me when he only mentioned his bf to her and she said he looked scared that she might judge him.... like it's not cool #to tell period but especially since it was clearly said bc he trust *her* with the info #if they're openly out and the person already knows well ofc whatever you can talk about it but it wasn't like that so #but the thing IS....... that i only really realised she was outing him afterwards? my bad truly. i was uncomfortable in the moment #but for some reason it didn't click why til later #bc like at first i thought it was bc she said something like 😭😭 girl. how should he know you'd be cool with it. we live in This Society.#so i was uncomfy like uhhh. and i said well i mean you probably know already but i'm gay too and even if there's a p high chance that peopl #will be okay with it in this day & age (i didn't say but. bit different for trans ppl. i'm not out as trans) we can never know #so it makes sense to be scared to say it!#and she was like yes! but i am okay with it and he looked so scared! i truly know so many and i love them even more than others!#😭😭😭😭😭 she means well but seriously HOW SHOULD HE KNOW ALL THAT 😭😭😭😭 it doesn't work like that girl.....#i mean ? *i* never told her i'm gay 😭😭 and i've known her for 2 years and a half almost. this guy worked with us for like a few months #anyway i wish i was quicker to realise bc i would've told her out on it like...... really not your thing to tell other people 😵‍💫😵‍💫#still. i am glad i said it. even when it's obvious and wouldn't need telling #it's NOT easy to like. know that everyone knows. not for me at least. especially with the added layer of being trans (AND nonbinary)#bc i don't think ppl i haven't told know that. i think cis ppl are quite bad at like.. knowing transmasc ppl exist lol #so i go by he/him only in italian (no other options lol) and i'm. not really completely masc and don't “pass” super well but when #i present myself as nico and talk abt myself w masculine words ppl just either ignore that and go she! :) or think alright. (cis) gay man #and at work it's the latter after i've worked there for over 2 years. like i'm not out as trans so ppl draw those conclusions #i don't think it'd shock ppl if i said i'm trans but simply put cis ppl at least cis italian ppl dont know shit abt trans men and transmasc

Whenever someone accuses me of being addicted to something (usually jokingly) there is no way to answer that wouldn't just confirm to them what they think

Like saying i could stop if i wanted to or outright denying it would make it seem like i'm in denial

not saying anything would be like a silent confirmation

ignoring it and moving the conversation along would be seen as deflection

there is no way to win in this scenario

#i don't think i've ever been seriously accused of being addicted to anything #but i'm adding that usually there because like #what if i have and just forgot #or if someone did seriously accuse me of being addicted but i misinterpreted it as a joke #this post on in reference to how i joke that i'm addiction to artificial grape flavoring #i'm like 99% sure im not actually addicted to it because i have gone very long lengths of time without it #either because i forgot it existed (which happens a lot)#or i was just too lazy to go and get something that had artificial grape flavoring in it #but i do think it's very tasty #it doesn't actually taste much like real grapes #i like it based on its own merits

i am soooo tired of seeing skinny people i am so over it its so everywhere and everything on tiktok on ads on book covers in movies in tv shows, politics, fucking music even. its endless, infinite, exhausting. isn't there something more than this? this can't be it. like how did i end up in a version of the world where a fat woman being a romantic lead in a mid period drama on Netflix is a win? and how is she still basically the only fat person on that show? how are there films and tv shows praised for diversity that don't have a single fat person in the cast?? how how how HOW. the majority of people in the world aren't even skinny. most people in the world aren't thin white people! its crazy its so fucking insane how colonialism, ableism and racism has created a phantasm in which we all accept that pretending fat people don't exist and punishing them when they do is normal and fine. like, imagining a world where fatphobia doesn't exist is actually unimaginable and painful and i truly can't think about it too much without tearing the hair off my entire body

how is it THIS draining just to go see my parents. how

#i lived in that house for seventeen years and now i spend a day there and im like aight gonna sleep at a friend's place actually bye #like its that tightrope. on the one hand you love 'em on the other you love some version that doesn't exist anymore from a decade ago #but theyre still there. you can still see them #if you look really closely. if you tune out some of the weird shit they say. if you choose the topic of conversation carefully.#they still love you and maybe thats worse because you've been hiding the person you actually are for so damn long and theyre probably doin #the exact same thing #you're both trying to grab at something that isn't really there anymore but its close enough that you still go back y'know?#just sorta circling each other trying to find out what you can still get from each other. what you can still talk about. wondering #if any of this is the right choice but if it isn't. then what?#added disclaimer that a) im good b) i have my own place and c) im looking after myself no worries if you read that whole rant

zam + 8 and roshambo + 5 for the ask game!

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Honestly? I can't really pin the exact thing I despise about what the fandom does with him, but there's little things here and there that I can't stand. I think they forget sometimes exactly what route he takes with his paranoia, and they make it a bit too... Generic? At least from my read. But also I read him differently because of my understanding of certain things.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Problem: I think of two songs at the same time.

I blame associating both with him because of individual fics & arcs. Now one is arguably more of a... Stretch. Than the other. But I'll leave that to you to figure out.

==================

ask game!

#ask a ghost #asker: anon #further context: i read s4!zam especially from the lens of somebody who is highly paranoid to the point of delusion. i think people minimiz #and almost turn it into an aesthetic. which yes. it inherently will be something pretty or poetic. he's a character in a story. but also.#i have a lot of thoughts about how its more often made pretty/appealing/*lighter* rather than. anything else.#DUNNO i might be seeing things that just dont exist. i do that a lot #also adding on a bit more . i see too much *generic* paranoia that doesn't have the correct stem / reason. people don't understand where #zam's worries and paranoid are actually coming from (especially in fic)#i know this is . not the point of the question i just have thoughts and feelings and #yeah.#also those roshambo songs are my favorite songs <3
