#annoying Tumblr features

[hindbodes]

Reblog to save a laptop Tumblr user’s life.

I am going to release this custom stylesheet so you guys can use it now. It removes a whole bunch of annoying things from Tumblr that sensible laptop users such as myself absolutely despise. One of them is the stickiness of the navbar, but it deals with one or two other problems too, which currently I don’t know how to explain because so much time has passed by since I wrote this code. I made it myself. I know it’s not perfect, but this code has spent the last twelve months making Tumblr’s design extremely way more tolerable for me. Without it I’d be suffering hard on this website.

Please note that this stylesheet’s removal of the navbar assumes that you use next/previous button page by page basis. The way it gets rid of the sticky header is going to cause bad synergy with your way of browsing Tumblr if you use “infinite scrolling”.

But it is fairly easy to edit the stickiness of the navbar back into the code if you do want that, if you’re willing to do a bit of brisk trial and error.

The issue is that Tumblr obfuscated its variable names by making them absolute gibberish. So you won’t find descriptive values in code like “main-navbar” or “annoying-piece-of-shit-recommendation-bastard” these days. You find absolutely counter-productive shit that’s designed to make your coding task hard. That’s why it has to be trial and error. I can’t remember which class is which.

This also assumes (for the time being) that you know how to use Internet browser plugins that mod the stylesheets of websites, such as Stylus. Personally I believe I can recommend Stylus. It definitely works in Firefox.

Code is below the break.

/*

.l-header-container{     position: absolute !important;   } */ .hlDot{     position: relative !important;   } ._3kR_{     position: relative; } .rllUD{     position: relative; } .QOMh2{     position: relative; } .Mw2UR{     position: relative; } .uuWZ2{     position: relative; } ._3kR_{     position: relative; } ._3kR_{     position: relative; } .uuWZ2{     position: relative; } /* .p4DiZ FMB1x{     display: none; } */ /* .uM3pd{     display: none; } */ /* .p4DiZ{     display: none;      } */ /* THESE WERE THE STUPID THREE MAGGOTS IN THE FEED. THEIR WORKING POINTERS HERE GOT REMOVED!

^ This is called a “comment” in computer programming, and in markdown languages. You don’t need to put this in your code if you don’t want it in there.

.p4DiZ.FMB1x{     display: none;      } .p4DiZ.FMB1x.vsJc9{     display: none;      } */ .ZaYRY{     display: none;      } .p4DiZ.FMB1x.vsJc9{     display: none;      } .So6RQ{ /* THIS IS THE POSTS IN THE FEED */   /*  display: none; */      }

I really don’t understand why people hate Tommy so much? Like. It’s okay not to like the guy, but if you think he’s just a temporary love interest anyways then literally why do you care???

[what-did-pink-diamond-do-today]

Heyyyyy just wanted to say a big thanks to all the fans of this very niche gimmick account!!

I’ve been thinking about the direction of this account—definitely gonna still be doing the daily Pink Diamond happenings, but also wondering if I should expand on that and start interacting with other posts as this (very fanon) Pink Diamond character, maybe also reblogging Pink Diamond posts I think are cool and want to share.

Would y’all be up for that or should I stick to the gimmick?

Google has done an amazing job with it's new features on Google Docs! They now have handy dandy popups that are soo aggressively in my face that instead of me actually using their product I am now investing in a literal ream of notebook paper and cute stationary just so i can have some god damn peace when I FINALLY get the motivation to write!

Thinking about Guel Jeturk (Pt 1)

He is such a cool character. He's such a genuine piece of shit and at the start of the show I really thought, even if he did change, that I wouldn't like him, but by the time the show ended I genuinely wanted for his happiness as much as every other character.

So I just wanna talk about him I guess

Cringe analysis under the cut awooo awooOOoooOooo

I think it's important that Guel starts off the show as just an actual shithead. He's just the misogynist bully archetype at its core and he treats Miorine like property and everyone else like they're beneath him, but it's also important to understand the context of that behavior too.

Guel has basically everything. Money, Prestige, Power, Respect. Everything has essentially been handed to him on a silver platter, and as long as he continues to win duels (the only thing he is actually, GENUINELY good at) that won't change. And with that comes an insane amount of pride and arrogance. He expects things to go his way because, for basically his entire life, that's just how things have always been. In the business world that he's been surrounded by, the strong always win out over the weak.

But with Suletta, all of the pride and respect that comes with his title and status is utterly and completely meaningless to her.

And he tries his classic shtick of listing out all of his titles on her, because in the world he lives in, that alone is what makes him worthy of either fear or respect.

But it doesn't work on Suletta, because the world of the Benerit Group is not the real world, the one she lives in. She repeatedly looks past all of his flashy titles and admonishes and judges him for his BEHAVIOR, the true merit of his character.

When she agrees to duel him, Guel sees it as putting an ignorant girl in her place. And why would he believe otherwise? He's always been on top at Asticassia, and this is no different. Dueling is the one thing that he KNOWS he's good at. It's the one skill that is definably his, that he truly earned through his own hard work. It's why he get so upset and defensive when Suletta looks down on him.

But the important thing here is that he LOSES to Suletta. BADLY.

And the lesson Guel is forced to learn from this loss is that every single thing he latched onto in his life, everything that he decided makes him worthy of respect and admiration, is not only immaterial, but, more importantly, conditional.

His pride and status, his role as heir of the Jeturk Company, and, most damning of all, his father's love, was based entirely on whether or not he was the current Holder at Asticassia.

Because he lost one duel, (the FIRST duel he had ever lost, mind you) a duel to a Gundam that, based on what we know, was quite literally unwinnable, Guel's father slaps him across the face and yells at him.

Before the rematch, when Guel is told that the Darilbalde is piloted by an AI, his father slaps him across the face AGAIN and tells him straight up that his feelings do not matter if he's not the Holder.

Which is why the scene where Suletta defends him from Secelia's taunts and explains her motto is so important

Everyone in Guel's life at this point, even his own father, looks down upon and mocks him for losing the duel. But Suletta isn't. She just tells him that even though he lost, he still deserves praise for not running away.

This is probably the first time in his life anyone has ever just told him that. That it's okay that he lost. That it's enough that he just tried.

Quick aside, but this moment here, when Suletta is talking about how much her mother means to her, and Guel holds his hand up to the cheek his father slaps him across hasn't, and will probably never, leave my brain.

But Suletta's words don't reflect Guel's reality. And the fact that he lost means even more is being taken from him, including his ability to even duel.

During the rematch, the Darilbalde doesn't even respond to his input. He, like Miorine, is having all of his decisions made for him, because without the title of holder, he's utterly powerless.

And the truly tragic thing here is that, once Guel smashes the AI and begins fighting on his own, he starts doing much better than when the AI was fighting and his father was cheating for him. He was genuinely a match for Permet 1 Aerial. But it's too late.

Maybe this is just me, but I always got the impression that if Guel was able to fight this battle on his own from the start, it would have been much more even, and he might have even won. But he didn't. He lost, again. And because of this, things are going to get much worse for him, really damn fast.

Hey, does anyone know how to get rid of the stupid "check out these communities" suggestions they've started shoving between posts on the dashboard?

Looked in all over in settings, but it doesn't seem to be an option. Is there an Xkit extension for it yet?

[firyfox]

I wish tumblr had a soft block / mute feature or something because I have too many cases of 'I don't dislike this blog because they did anything wrong but I find their posts annoying & I don't wanna see these posts anymore but I don't wanna cut them off from potentially seeing my posts' u know ? Like can we get something just for muting a blogs posts lol

[philodendrongirl]

2 weeks on buproprion tomorrow ... feeling normal .. suspicious. Going down on my lexapro as well. I do feel a bit different from that lol but its very subtle i feel. Not rlly gonna be noticing much until its a few months in

[kuromi-hoemie]

so like..

is the idea that as a compromise to only having to toggle off tumblr live once a month, you now have this permanent tumblr live icon regardless of ur setting choice stuck to the bottom in the middle of everything in the hopes that i click on it accidentally anyways even though it's clear i don't want it or? where is the NO 100% STOP GIVING ME THIS SHIT I DON'T ACCEPT YOUR POLICIES AND LITERALLY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT TUMBLR LIVE AND WILL NEVER BE INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF FEATURE OR FORMAT.

@zingring @photomatt @humans idk how many feedback requests people have to cut tumblr for "no" to just be a valid response here. ppl aren't dumb and see u inching over the line trying to force this on them despite the snooze choice.

what, are there so many ppl snoozing and such a low adoption rate that you know you need to trick users into using it so you can "make number go up" or? 🙄
