TL;DR
The Honey browser extension not only makes money by poaching affiliate commissions from the very influencers it partners with, even when it doesn't find any coupons, it's guilty of straight-up fraud. It's advertised as scouring the internet to find the best coupons for a given site and when it doesn't find any, assures users that they already have the best price. But in actuality, it lies about there not being any coupons or better coupons than the ones it automatically applied for you, while selling itself to business that it partners with on the basis that it will get them more money by tricking shoppers into not looking for better coupons so they spend more money. The ending of this video seems to be teasing a part 2, but is already strongly implying that Honey also creates unauthorized discounts costing businesses it partners with (likely small independent operations) thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
#honey#honey browser extension#fraud#like everyone else#i always thought there was something sus#and wondered how it made money#but just assumed it was selling your data#like literally everyone else#turns out it was way worse#for advertisers businesses and users alike#Youtube

I was trying to eat noodles neatly and for some reason I got sad midway. So I drew them messy eating a biscuit and a strawberry to combat sad noodle blues.
#Ugh I could've made it messier though.#I tried looking at how the strawberry juice look as it's getting bitten. But looking at a closeup of a mouth eating is kinda uncomfortable#I would need to be paid to look at that again. I dropped it and just winged it. Lol#Hm. I should've at least looked up how goopy it should look. But eh. Drawings finished.#I heard wild strawberries are sour? But these ARE giant strawberries. So this might be a special special kind of strawberry.#I'm not like other strawberries. 😤🍓 Lol#I can't remember what an actual strawberry taste. People made it look pretty good though.#Then again people also made dragon fruit look tasty and it turned out it just tastes like a very very desaturated pear. Lol#Hmmmm but also then again. They also make cherries look good and I LOVE cherries. 🤷♀️#That ain't the giant Crumbl cookie if anyone's wondering. Connie would probably never spend money on a Crumbl. That's a home made biscuit.#Bruh I can't spell biscuit#I watched someone biting on what I think is a Crumbl and they spit it out. And the pieces sounded like concrete as it hit the table 😆😆😆#connverse#connie maheswaran#steven quartz universe#Lion SU#su#steven universe#skedoobles#Ah. Also scribbling this because I needed a break after burning out 3 hours of a commission's allotted time just figuring out what pose#to settle on. So like I only have five hours left to work on their piece. 😬#my shiz#Waitaminuteee in case I unintentionally relayed it wrong. I'm not going to actually just make that allotted commission time just 5 hours no#I recognize not being able to settle a pose for THAT long in a commission is skill issue on my part so I'm not going to carve out 3 hours#Plus at least now I have poses that I *could* make a YCH out of. The body measures are going to be limited however 🤔

The stream where impulse first talks about his piercings is still so crazy bc he just seems so Dad Guy, and then he’s talking about how his tongue piercing was fun “for some reason”. Tbf that kind of lore is peak Dad Lore, but coming from impulse it was craaazy
#was it fun impulse#I wonder why impulse#vodblogging#plus the liveblog I made on it got a crazy amount of attention lol#how much money do we have to give the man for him to repierce something#please impulse if you’re listening#speak up dm

Finished Gates 👍 me n Aria are crying in the vc
#pmd gti playthrough#for me it was when Emolga started talking out of the Frism#okay hands down Gates partner is my favorite out of the 3 main ones (and probably 4 I’ll be so deadass)#what a wonderful game. it’s not perfect/I kinda see where it has its flaws#but it’s genuinely so beautiful and the second pmd game to make me. outright cry#rankings would be Pmd2 > Pmd3 > Pmd1#<<(it’s Aria’s favorite game now though)#I’ve heard many good things about super but man it better pull it’s weight/got it’s work cut out for it#pmd 2 still has the most tight knit story. but 3 shines with how every character has their depth/aspirations#<<<Which made that ending scene all the more heartbreaking#pmd1 the main things I liked were the fugitive arc/Gengar/partner and that’s about it.#just (hands on head) pmd games love smashing your legs with a bat like you owe money near the end huh.

i swear my stepdad is so illogical AND stubborn it hurts
#okay so strap in coz this is a wild ride#tl;dr we have been without heat and warm water for years and i mean literal years#because he refuses to pay off some debt he built up with the company#because he feels unfairly treated (let's not get into this. it absolutely makes no sense) by the company#so instead of doing the logical step of growing some balls and admitting he made a mistake and paying off his shit#he's been looking for a new supplier all over but the deal IS#that he's been doing this with a couple of places before and people are hesitant to even make him any offers#and you'd think that learning about THAT at least now he'd be like. idk willing to just pay off his debt and be done with it#but you'd be WRONG#now he's looking to just have our entire heating system replaced for the teeny tiny price of 25000 bucks#mind you his debt isn't even a THIRD of that#and obviously he can't afford those 25000 bucks#so what's his next step now you might wonder?#well good thing you asked. his next step is going off on ME for not paying towards the new heating he wants#and now that that's not working for him guess what he did next?#that's right. he bought shit expensive 'space heaters' that are pretty much just small little boxes that you plug into an outlet#and he swears up and down that they're going to heat up our house (it's negative degrees outside)#(it's obviously not working)#and genuinely. all i can think of is how much money he shoved into trying to macgyver this house into a house with warm water and heating#and how he blew off ten thousands of bucks he got paid when he retired within the span of two weeks#when this debt could have been paid off ten times over by now#so now you might be thinking. okay tiago. why don't you move out#good question you see. my mom is disabled and reliant on someone who cares for her#something that he can't won't and shouldn't do because the last time he sorta kinda tried she almost died and we had to call an ambulance#she wouldn't eat a thing if i weren't there to cook. the house would fall into disrepair if i wouldn't do maintenance all around#i've set up (functioning) heat in some areas she occupies and i've gotten a boiler going so she at least has warm water#i'm paying off their bills to make sure he doesn't skip on paying any others. i'm buying groceries for them because again they wouldn't get#any for themselves#and finally. i've offered to pay off his debt so that we can finally live like normal fucking people do#and guess what. guess WHAT. he just got mad at me for not adding money to that 25000 bucks pool for that new fancy heating he wants

Me: "Boy, oh boy! Now that I have my own sewing machine, I can make my own clothes! Surely it will cost me less than buying something from a clothing store!"
Fabric pricing:
#moj post#A METER COSTS HOW MUCH?????#HELLOOO#Jk jk it's fine#but this shit be expensive!!!#glad that I DON'T like how silk feels because I got a heart attack looking up the cost#and I just KNOW I'm so ready to spend money on it!! Can't wait to try and make cosplays#maybe I'll fulfill my lifelong dream and finally make a feferi cosplay#maybe I'll even bribe my bf to be karkat HEHEHEH#in other news. I am enjoying the wonders of being bad at a new hobby#Made a little lousy bookmark yesterday and can't move on to something much harder that's way out of my skill level ❤❤#sewing

no matter how much my life is improving, i still feel empty and alone
#i got a new job#i like it so far but i thought it would make me happier#it has a little bit i still just feel.. strange#like it isn’t enough#i’m lonely#it’s hard to make friends and i don’t know what to do anymore#i want a boyfriend#i just want someone who cares about me and accepts me#i miss freddy but he hasn’t talked to me in years#i miss the way he made me feel#i worry i’ll never have that again#its still hard to move on because i haven’t experienced anything since#i miss having friends#doing things#life is so lonely#i want to have fun#i want to go out a d have dinner or a picnic avd play in the grass and swing on swing sets#but my life is passing by and i’m still alone#and i’m sad#no matter how much money i make or clothes i buy make me feel better#i just feel worse#because it’s not meaningful#i just want to find something that gives my life meaning#i want love#i want to be in love#but i am starting to wonder if im just unlovable#anyways i’m just yapping cause i have no one to talk to

Coming to you live, the immediate and dreaded realization that a big red mechanical eye in one franchise is actually the big red mechanical eye from the other one.
HERE WE GO AGAIN, FOLKS!
#Godzilla#Superman#Justice League#Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong: The Search For A Better Title Like Seriously Did Nothing Pithy Come To Mind?#Spoilers#Mechagodzilla#King Ghidorah#Lex Luthor#Brother Eye#I literally had the one-two punch of wondering why they'd bring in Brother Eye when they had enough villains kicking around#only to remember that DC has Mechagodzilla money.#I mean at least Ghidorah controlling everything made SENSE it was just everything else with Mechagodzilla's construction that didn't add up#which Legacy of Monsters is trying to account for bless 'em.#er...#Monarch Spoilers#Anyhow. DC science and tech used to rebuild and upgrade Mechagodzilla makes perfect sense tbh#though considering Godzilla has APPARENTLY killed Superman with a single blast MG's gonna be even more overpowered.#I mean if Toyman and/or Lex try to control the Titans that way then ring-a-ding-ding baby Ghidorah's back in control.#... fuck I wonder if they'll regrow his body. Then they're TRULY fucked.#Like I'm very iffy on how this comic came about and is being executed#like the Bats defeating Camazotz after Jason somehow injures it with a handheld rifle like the military and Kong didn't ever go for the eye#with bigger and more powerful weapons/equipment and the time scale is all over the place even with teleporters and superspeed#not to mention Kara hearing Clark's heart stop and declaring him dead with her SUPER SENSES but Batman goes 'NO! NOT UNTIL I CHECK!'#because of course he'll spot something she didn't and they'll blame it on her being upset.#... er moving on#Iffy on concept and execution. BUT. The one thing even GvK didn't diminish was the dread I felt when Ghidorah's involvement was revealed#and boy oh boy did that feeling spring right back when I put together just who Lex found... the One Who Is Many has returned...

i know that when carlo suddenly decided that he needs to marry guy made a whole list in his head n like had a deadlines n shit. like it was some kind of a task he needed to do
#whole fkin campaign. idk still not sure how it was but man was in his peacock era for sure#n it's like i need to find a wife i need to make it in 2 (or whatever) months etc etc#but its like a bg task n he didn't speak bout it w others. like he just said that he needs to marry#also idk if i mentioned this but i wrote lauretta/carlo first meet long ago n she was w her fiance#i just listened to “pretty music” again sorry. i like that uh governor or tf this character is#changes his behaviour from one woman to another so real. n that fkin “but im a lucky guy who gets to dance w u”#and “since u know what i need i'll even take your lead” <- fr like im sure lauretta screwed him for several times#just to see if he's really serious good old manipulations w men nothing new nothing superstitious#upd. he probably made a mind budget for this (i mean finding a wife)#n bout lauretta screwing carlo its like in this ukranian song Ти ж мене пiдманула ти ж мене пiдвела#but since he's a strategist he's patient (like i wanted to accent this quality sm i wrote#that carlo started thinkin bout taking moretti's place back in 1932)#anyway. “Challenge accepted” situation and idk fr for some reason when it's carlo eddie lauretta it's always bout playing#so lauretta started playing n he entered this play too. i don't even think he was exactly mad (maybe only for the 1st time)#at this point i have a clear image of how they met n their first dates (cringe word) n how he proposed#ie how it started how it ended. ending was fast i believe (deadline is approaching 🤯)#what was in between i don't exactly know but i wondered just now if he also screwed lauretta (i think yes)#bc i don't knooowwww frrr all this is so bout playing to me#but bout ending its like. boss fight (<- sex) game credits (<- marriage) ((speedrun))#also i was thinkin if he even ever met lauretta's parents (i always thought that no but idk)#can imagine lauretta calling carlo a good friend. i also hm ok#i started to write a comic like a month ago just bout falcone polycule n it starts w#carlo who says that he finally needs to get married n lauretta's mother askin (in a pushing way) why#her n her fiance still aren't married like girl tf. she jinxed it i guess#upd. carlo/lauretta is funny in my head bc right before marriage he did fell in love lauretta didn't but guy's profitable we'll take him👍#she did only after marriage i think bc it was the time when u can finally relief bc it's over#u don't need to think bout no yes no no yes yes will it work or won't etc#woman was able to fucking chill at last. she got the money sorry i mean the man#he's not runnin away let's finally look who the fuck is even this man. why he won't shut up bout astronomy can i get a divorce <- jk#but yeah “я тобi брехала” is so lauretta right after marriage to me (“i dont even know the color of ur hair”)

#cw negative#cw suicidality#cw vent#last night was the lowest i’ve ever been in a while . it truly is something else isn’t it#though i’ve been plagued by Those kind of thoughts for a while now i know i don’t truly want to die#more like take a very long nap and be woken up when it’s all over and i don’t have to constantly feel this way anymore#despite everything i am still hopeful for the distant future . i know i will probably cry over uni assignments and maybe fret over-#-workplace drama . but then i will have friends to meet for coffee and money to buy the silly things i want#so i have to look forward to that or else#carrying a level of hurt with me that makes it feel like my bones are being dissolved in acid#constantly waking up and wondering what i did to deserve it. feeling embarrassed‚ too#i want to wipe away those memories . and stop hurting myself nightly#genuinely when i close my eyes all i can think about is how desperate i felt and how lonely i was and then i want to claw myself apart#[ why did no one help me? ] those kind of thoughts ... i have made positive memories but i’m finding more difficulty recalling them#💭

Probably the most in-character thing I've had Astarion do this whole run: Accidentally kill an innocent bystander with area-of-effect damage, immediately pulling like five Flaming Fists into combat, and then instead of helping, use his invisibility and bonus action to flee combat, leaving the rest of the party to deal with the consequences of his actions
#on a meta level he was just the one who had the best opportunity to get away#and i needed at least one character to flee just in case things broke REAL bad#but looking back on it yeah actually that checks out perfectly#personal grumblings#robin plays bg3#in case anyone was wondering how honor mode's going#i've made it to act 3 and level 11#and i have enough money in my savings to absolutely nuclear blast raphael out of the fucking code with a twist of fate#so that's going great

Finally I get to watch the internet find out how many of their fav philosophers were taught by woman. I always say they could never stand a chance against the average pre-teen girl, and people laughed. Their thoughts may have been profound to their followers, but some of us were socialized as girls..
#At age 6 I was already acutely aware that my father did not like my mother#that my mother didn’t like me#that I was not performing well#that money was made up#that religion was the workings of very cruel and odd men for men#that the moon and stars were the only truth#that I would grow up and be forced to choose delusion and compliance for the system or delusions against but be happy in misery and solitude#first sleep over we spoke on love and how it doesn’t seem to truly exist. we were 13#and beyond that — I always knew I couldn’t be too smart bc that’s only a burden when your a woman#anyways to all the men who said I was crazy for saying philosophers were just rich old men who could afford documenting their average thots#and had time to think — and if woman were given just one sheet they’d have shared the secrets of the universe — who’s laughing now#and to TERFS— stay tf out bitch this isn’t a ‘woman are inherently superior’#men are just so up their own fucking ass they think wondering if there’s aliens is big brain activity when that’s not even on the list#so pls don’t feel comfortable here — instead consider de*th#thoughts#upload

Will you be leaving Tumblr?
Most likely.
From the looks of it, our data has already been compiled and will be handed over tomorrow (I don't have details, the article is locked behind an account creation pop-up) so there's little that can be done for what's already been posted.
I have very little faith that asking those giants to take out our data is going to lead anywhere. There is no obligation in the contract for them to do so.
And even if I were to opt-out, (if that's even going to work at all, remember how well "opting-out" of Tumblr Live worked?) do I really want to keep giving my engagement to a website that feels free to do that kind of scummy shit behind the backs of their userbase? No warning, no talks, no transparency at all? This sits really wrong with me.
So, unfortunately, I most likely will leave Tumblr.
#look my friends#i'm a little burnt-out on caring about AI at all#it could be a wonderful creative tool if the whole practices surrounding it and how they acquire their data sets didn't fucking reek#i care so little about AI art. nothing will ever compare to something that has been handcrafted.#made from human motion. human imagination. human emotion. AI art will never replace human artists.#no AI will ever be able to replace me to tap into my vision and imagination. i do not feel threatened by AI.#in fact i laugh at the very idea of letting some fancy statistic model threaten me#but as little as i care about that i DO care about people making profits off of MY work without my consent#i will not stand idly by and let them make more money off of my back#as we say in french: ''ils nous mangent la laine sur le dos'' they eat the wool off our backs#and i'm not just gonna willingly let them keep eating the wool off of my back#either they fucking pay me for the data or they lose my presence and engagement

#oh hey i just caught myself harboring Unnecessary Nightmare Scenarios#that last post made me think about how the only thing stopping me from getting another dog is money#like i could afford having a friend for savu. it would be no problem#BUT in a situation where i lost my partner and had to provide for the dogs by myself and they'd both get sick i'd be in deep trouble#which has sounded like a completely rational thing to be aware of. a completely valid reason for not getting another dog#except that is quite a few things that need to go wrong before the deep trouble would actually hit#and is that really the way i want to live my life? waiting for this relationship to end? accepting that eventually i will be left alone?#that my current life is nothing but a brief respite from a continuous struggle with both finances and illness? a glitch that will soon pass#it actually doesn't sound valid at all when i write it out like this#i have a partner who brings another stable paycheck into this household. i have no reason to believe this would change anytime soon#i have a wonderful dog that would probably benefit from having a friend#shelties are not super prone to any major lifelong diseases or such so it's unlikely the new dog would need constant expensive treatments#i think this thought pattern got a hold of me when savu got sick last spring#it was scary and unpleasant and i still feel raw around the edges after experiencing all of it#(the dog is fine by the way! definitely better these days and i'm super happy we got the surgery. we have many good years ahead of us still#but like. i'd like if my brain accepted 'this summer was scary and i'm not sure if i'm ready to possibly experience it with another dog'#instead of feeding me lies about a future where i'm all alone and desperately poor#but hey i've never caught this one before! now i know this thought pattern exists and can do something about it#sussitalk
