I’m genuinely so glad you enjoy my rambling so much because I felt like its a bit too much especially since im still in the first chapter and still want to talk about everything so today you will get A Lot of my thoughts since the devs and Las Vegas start close to each other!

No because I didn’t even KNOW that Norris and Carlos were even remotely Close to COLTON AND CONNOR WHAT??? And they are Close enough to organise a golf trip, being a logan sargeant is always because us non-American get so endeared by his American ass, jack and trevor being kyle and logan and I miss that im a fake fan how could I miss that please ignore me while I cry because I missed this easter egg while saying im the biggest fan.

THANK YOU FOR NOT REPEATING THE 22 SEASON I will give my first child as a gift, AH the torture of wanting to talk about something but not wanting to spoil it is BAD and I dont think my comments help you with that, jack spiralling basically proves that he a Ferrari driver because there has not been one who didnt need at least a bit of therapy, also jack and his ability to NOT meditate amuses me so much, poor bedard being the only rookie in merc which is dog shit someone needs to keep an eye on him, you are correct fuck zac brown but I will try and get the references and not embarrass myself, No believe me when I say that your media people are smarter than the reality because at least they are fictional but IN REAL LIFE?.

please im mourning carlos being in williams like my husband is going to war-he is- because what do you mean LEWIS WOULD RACE IN FERRARI?? I will not believe this shit until I see in red-I cannot even picture him in red dear god help me-, ughhh the annoying twitter user with a carlos pfp make me want to fight someone because I have SEEN this comments in real life; your fic is too close to reality because you get the race stress stupid media and annoying tweets and it makes me twitch, jack having a burner f1twt account doesnt surprise me but I can imagine him finding out that us fans want cunty jack and he spirals every time he says something and its a never ending spiral, hugheswdc is my actual bestie idc that she doesn’t exist irl she is my bestie through and through, a jack fan wanting him in Ferrari exists even here love that for them, nico praises jack and then jack overthink said praise is my favourite dynamic, OH NICO POLE SOON!!!

do I annoy when I reply to your replies or do you enjoy them? Because I can stop if it does

no such thing as too much. i will always yap about inertia. i'm probably just as annoying about it lmao so all good. and i do enjoy the replies to my replies do not stop pls and thank you

YEAH I WAS BEWILDERED BY THE LINEUP... thought my eyes were deceiving me. like carlos and lando sure and herta and daly also sure as independent pairs of each other but all four of them ??? wild crossover. maybe i should start up some Wild Crossovers in the fic universe. i have a pretty half-baked hypothetical indy grid floating in my brain (complete with some drivers i have not revealed in-fic yet) so maybe i will. do. something. mwahahahaha

the lewis to ferrari move was NOT on my bingo card like i remember when the rumors were rumoring i was like ain't no way then it very much was way. like okay. i guess we are playing that game. lewis hamilton world tour

yeah like noah fence to the carlos enjoyers but there are some Real annoying carlos fans on twitter. so of course i had to showcase that in the form of one very obnoxious bitch. negative shoutout to jase smoothoperationnn. ofc they come across as Enemy in the fic especially bc they literally actively hate jack. oops

hischpole hischpole hischpole. Soon. i haven't started writing that race yet but i am nearing it. the races keep getting longer and longer it is not even funny i'm gonna explode

Question is the legacy editor any good? I've never used it because I'm paranoid about it messing my posts up lmao but I'm curious

The short answer is yes. Legacy editor, the older way tumblr did posting, is in my opinion, the superior editor. I love the legacy editor. A lot. It is definitely superior and I'm sad staff has decided to slowly get rid of it.

However! With that said I've been pretty much exclusively using the beta post editor for the last like year when staff announced that they'd be eliminating the legacy editor eventually so I thought it'd be a good idea to get used to the beta editor. Which I suppose I did. I've gotten used to it and don't use legacy much at all anymore. I also wanted to use it because I got really tired of not being able to edit in mobile the posts I made on web using the legacy editor. With the beta editor you can edit across platforms which is soooo nice. (although it appears that in one of the apps many updates I can now edit a gifset I made today via legacy editor but not the posts I've made in the past using the legacy editor so who knows what's going with that).

But there's a lot of annoying things about the new beta editor that make it inferior to the legacy editor and I'm praying that staff will improve it. For starters, and probably my biggest complaint, is how awful it is to upload and rearrange images. It's so much easier in legacy editor to move images around. In beta the page moves when you start to move the image and it drives me CRAZY!!! I always end up putting the image in the wrong place because the page won't stop moving! Legacy is wonderful to arrange images. I do think the upload is slightly better in beta purely because it uploads multiple images in the order I select them where the legacy just puts them in whatever order it wants to and I have to remember what order I wanted my gifs in.

Legacy is also better because it actually differentiates between an image post and a text post. With the beta editor everything is technically a test post. So my gifsets are not considered an "image post". Some people have noted that the beta, since it's not an image post, it resizes the images a little and sometimes decreases the quality of the gif by doing that. I haven't really noticed that myself with my own gifs but doesn't mean it isnt happening.

The legacy editor also allows me to upload my gifs without stupid errors for no reason. Lately any time I upload more than 6 gifs at once I get an error message and have to upload them one by one. Its not because of size because they're always under 7mbs so I don't know why I can't upload them all at once. I hate it actually. And sometimes my gif will be under 10mbs (like 9.7mbs) and it'll tell me that the gif is too big. Excuse me tumblr but 9.7 is smaller than 10! I never had this problem in legacy.

The legacy editor is also better when it comes to using html, inserting links as text and not the stupid thing beta does where you paste the link and it becomes that stupid post preview thing that I hate, and oh my god is it awful for text blocks! When it first came out you couldnt select multiple texts blocks at all. You can now but it isn't the easiest. And it like expands when you do and makes it weird. Idk it's hard to describe. In legacy you can just...select all the text with no problems. Text blocks are treated like individual sections in the beta and make editing a major pain in the ass.

I also don't like thst apparently new xkit won't work in beta and you have to use xkit rewritten because fuck I don't want to learn how to use that one when I've been using new xkit for years but I guess I'm gonna have to now. I haven't been having any problems with xkit yet but who knows....

So yeah I think overall legacy is better. Beta Post Editor has some good things (I like the increased image upload limit, the editing tags is good) about it but there's so many problems. Unfortunately we're stuck with it so I've been sticking to using it exclusively to make the transition easier on myself. I do suggest becoming used to how it works and to just continue to provide feedback to staff about features we dislike or bugs we come across. Hopefully they'll listen and improve it.

#this got long #i'm so sorry #apparently i have thoughts about this whole legacy vs beta post editor thing going on right now #I've got to do a feedback write up to sent to tumblr #hopefully they can continue to edit and improve the beta post editor to make it more like the legacy editor #especially for us making gifsets #mod post #mod replies #ask #anon

An anecdote from the Russian Campaign.

In the white plain a black mass painfully advances. Cold and hunger, terrifying assistants, have protected Russia, and the Grande Armée withdraws, scattering its dead on the road which brings it back to the motherland.

Ney, the bravest of the brave, knew how to escape all the expert maneuvers of the enemies, for whom taking this valiant man would have been such a great joy. Three times their masses closed in on him and three times the heroic soldier, whose soul, said Napoleon, was made of tempered steel, knew how to pierce the circle that surrounded him.

But how to fight against a cold of 20 degrees! It was an enemy more formidable than the Russians, and, without ever having been defeated, Ney obeyed the order of retirement: he was bringing back to France these decimated troops.

He had to walk through a desolate country, covered with snow, transformed into a desert; the inhabitants fled; burning their roofs behind them, so that the foreigner could not find shelter there.

At the head of his soldiers, his voice and gestures fortifying their courage, Ney suddenly stopped; with his outstretched arm, he pointed to the officer who is riding beside him a black dot on the horizon.

"Look, I may be wrong, but I seem to see the tricolor flying over the roofs of this village; this is extraordinary."

The aide-de-camp, a hand protecting his eyes, in turn stared at the designated place.

"But yes, Monsieur le Maréchal, you have seen right, these are the French colors.

"I fear some trap," replied Ney, who has become pensive, "and that instead of ours, it is the Cossacks who prepare a reception for us in their own way; but trap or not, you have to go and look, especially since with the inaction of the past few days we are starting to get a little numb. "

Abruptly spurring on, the officer, taking off on his mount, rushed forward.

"Stop," shouted the Marshal, "at least wait for me to send scouts."

But the aide-de-camp was already far away.

Ney himself was too unconcerned with danger not to admire this in others; however, the worry of seeing this valiant man die miserably in a trap made him turn to his faithful escort.

"Let's follow him, gentlemen."

Without difficulty the aide-de-camp was able to reach the village. What is not its astonishment to find it defended by a palisaded enclosure, a great work of fortifications. On the entrenchment is looming, rifle in hand, a warmly dressed sentry, whose very fanciful equipment consists of a half French, half Russian uniform.

"Stop there! ... Qui vive! ... shouted the soldier when he saw the officer.

- France, aide-de-camp to Marshal Ney.

With these words, the reassured, joyful sentry, puts down his weapon and in the cheeky tone of a kid from the outskirts of Paris, says:

"Not sorry that you are coming; since the time we have been waiting for the French, it was as if there had not been a single one in this country of misfortune! Finally! We are going to warn the King.

- The king ? What King? cried the officer.

- Well ! the King of the country, eh. And look, here he comes in person, you can talk to him.

And the aide-de-camp recognized with amazement in the improvised King a simple corporal of grenadiers. He questioned:

"Who are you ?"

The corporal adopted the soldier's standard behavior in front of his superior to answer:

"Louis Chollat, formerly corporal of the grenadiers, now master of this village.

- What Corps do you belong to?

- We were all with Marshal Victor, leaving for Russia, but the betrayal of Prince de Schwartzenberg, our former ally, and his Austrians forced him to retreat. So we wanted to wait for the Emperor, and three months ago we were planting the flag in this undamaged village. Ah! it was not without pain.

- But how could you stay in the middle of the enemies?

- Well, what about our rifles! We were able to show them that the French knew how to use it as well as handle shovel and pickaxe; and then it is curious, but these people, good people all in all, got used to us. Very simple, very backward, they certainly did not understand what they were doing. Why, how did they make me king? There is some mystery there that one will never know; what is certain is that they obey me to the letter, feed me and my men, and have provided us with clothes to replace ours. They must have had some superstitious idea in mind. "

The aide-de-camp had listened to this account with a certain admiration; however, he thought he should order this sovereign of a new kind:

"All this is very good, but you must now bow out to your subjects and go with me to Ney.

The corporal made an energetic gesture:

"Sorry, captain, but I will only leave the place to hand it over to the Marshal."

The officer looked down on him:

"You forget, I believe, that I am your superior and that, as such, you owe me obedience."

But the other replied proudly:

"Excuse me, captain, here I am governor of the place and have orders to receive only from the Emperor or whoever commands on his behalf.

- Peace, gentlemen. Captain, this man was right. We will settle the matter. "

It was Ney, at the critical moment.

"Long live the Emperor," the outraged Majesty shouted as an answer.

"Long live the Emperor," his men insisted.

"My good fellow," said the Marshal, "you know that the retreat is general, that we are returning home: you must follow us."

The corporal looked puzzled.

'If I tried to keep this village for France ... "

Ney smiled sadly:

"Alas! That is not what would prevent the disaster. However, corporal, if you wish to stay here while we are going to seek in the fatherland, through a thousand dangers, the means to fight again and to get up, I consent, you are free.

- Ah! my Marshal, I do not deserve this! Stay here when we still have gunshots to exchange, glory to gain ... Ah! no, this is not the business of a Chollat. We will follow you, Monsieur le Maréchal.

"So," said Ney, cheekily, "Your Majesty abdicates?"

- With enthusiasm, since we will start dancing again. Who knows ... maybe, by getting our skins pierced, we will earn the Cross ... some day, a long time from now. "

Ney smiled:

"Keep your whole skin, my boy; it is that of a brave man. And ... take the Cross without waiting anymore, you won it fair and square."

And taking his own, he fastened it to the grenadier's chest.

The sign of three was basically a declaration of Sherlock's Love for John

Okay so, the title says it all.

This is my first blog post I'm writing I'm really excited, I hope not to get lost in my train of thought.

Okay so... Let's start easy.

The morning of the wedding Sherlock's up early, mrs. H brings him tea, and she starts talking about the Marriage ( calling it: THE BIG DAY) and how it changes people. Sherlock doesn't understand why this is a Big deal, and starts to avoid talking about it.

When the photographer is taking pictures after the ceremony; Sherlock doesn't budge at first when the photographer said "just the bride and groom, please" which I found really cute and sad at the same time. As at that point Sherlock helped both of them organize a lot of things, so they've been a team in the whole process, and when it was time for the actual thing, he had to step aside.

When Sholto arrives at the reception, John obv greets him, while Sherlock and Mary talk about him, and Sherlock shows obvious signs of jealousy knowing that John "never shuts up about Sholto and not him".

Also, it turns out that apparently he's not "the most unsociable man that John has ever met" anymore, which was one of the many things that made him different from everyone else around them, and now there's suddenly someone else taking that place from him?

*MARY: "neither of us were the first, you know? "

At this point Sherlock is done, and tells Mary to stop smiling, luckily Mary doesn't take it to heart as she 'knows' Sherlock and just shakes it off.

But Sherlock never told John to stop smiling cuz he basically did everything so that John's presumably "Most important day of his life" would go smoothly, and he knows how much John has hurt for the past years (he takes responsibility for it, and is trying to redeem himself by helping him find 'happiness') and probably understands that for John , the wedding day is actually a big deal, he might not understand why, as he tells Mrs. H earlier:

* SHERLOCK: Two people who currently live together are about to attend church, have a party, go on a short holiday and then carry on living together. What's big about that?

One thing I really liked about Sherlock's Best man's speech is that even though he's the Cleverest person in the room , (and he knows it) and the whole mind palace thing ;

He prepares flashcards to remember, just in case something goes wrong and forgets, which would be unlikely, cuz yeah, hes Sherlock Holmes but he's still a human, and he does it so that he doesn't ruin the most important day in his Best Friend's life. Although he doesn't understand why, Sherlock does it anyways, for John. That's why he gets a bit agitated when he sees everyone crying, and wonders if he did something wrong.

Plus, Sherlock doesn't show-off as much during his speech, he made sure that the spotlight for his speech would always fall on John Watson.

Let's quote some of the nice things Sherlock said about John, during his speech:

*SHERLOCK: today you sit between the woman you have made your wife and the man you have saved - in short, the two people who love you most in all this world. And I know I speak for Mary as well when I say we will never let you down, and we have a lifetime ahead to prove that.

* SHERLOCK: I never expected to be anybody's best friend. Certainly not the best friend of the bravest and kindest and wisest human being I have ever had the good fortune of knowing.

* SHERLOCK: The best and bravest man I know and on top of that he actually knows how to do stuff.

[Flashback to John asking Sherlock to be his best man]

*John: I want to be up there with the two people i love and care about most in the world

So, we already know that John's talking about his wife to-be and Sherlock. Now if you'll excuse me let's just go back a bit, when John hasn't met Mary yet. I think the statement would still stand; but with only one subject/individual (In this case Sherlock). Idk where I'm going with this. But basically what I'm saying is that before John met Mary, Sherlock was the only person he loved and cared about the most in the world. Let that sink in.

Now. Let's talk about the flashbacks of the stag night.

Before actually going to the Pubs, Sherlock asks Molly to help him 'calculate' their ideal alcohol intake.

And he says :

* SHERLOCK: Don't want to get ill. That would ruin it - spoil the mood.

Let's remember what John told Sherlock when he was appointed as Best man:

*JOHN: Look, Sherlock, this is the biggest and most important day of my life.

And we see that Sherlock's a bit skeptical about it at first but we've seen that already.

[back to the stag night]

Sherlock really wants it to go well for John, but it doesn't really go as planned and they go home early. NOW, my favorite part of the stag night: The Rizla game.

When Sherlock's trying to guess who he's supposed to be... These are the answers that John has already given him:

He is human; not as tall as people think; nice-ish; clever, important to some people, ppl don't like him and he tends to rub them up the wrong way.

SO! With these informations on hand, Sherlock's first guess is: KING OF ENGLAND, ofc John tells him that they don't have a king, So Sherlock had to guess again. His second guess was 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁. JAWN. Yep, so I found this interesting somehow, basically what I came up with is : for Sherlock, Jawn has the same qualities a king would have. Think about it. I'll let you work it out by yourself, cuz I'm tired sksk. Just comment below any thoughts about this.

Ok so at this point Hudders interrupts the game, bringing in a client. Nothing in this part particularly interests this blog.

But a few honorable mentions :

> John touching Sherlock's knee

> Sherlock's arm around John while sitting on the couch

> Sherlock's butt up while "clueing for looks"

After this, there's the whole case-solving part. We'll skip it, and go to the last bit.

Sherlock's playing his newly composed waltz for the Watsons and then they talk about Mary being pregnant, everyone's happy, and there's the really long, awkward eye contact between the two men, while the bride is the one supposed to have all the attention, out of the 3 of them... Okay afterwards, the newlyweds dance together, and then Sherlock leaves early. As he sees that everything's going smoothly again, ( Sherlock saw, being the best man, a responsibility) at that point he probably thought that his job was done, and his presence was not needed anymore. That's heartbreaking.

So basically Sherlock also composed a Waltz for them (as I already mentioned earlier), and taught John how to dance along with it. So practically Sherlock did hell of a LOT for the Watsons, and John specifically. Cuz yeah it's the topic of this Blog post. But I enjoyed Sherlock and Mary's friendship during this.

But here's the thing, everything Sherlock has done throughout the whole episode; he did it exclusively for John's happiness. Because that's true love. Now count me as cheesy, but even if you don't ship Johnlock, and only see them as friends, you have to admit that what Sherlock did, showed his love for John. Because even if he knows that after this wedding John wouldn't spend as much time with him as he did in the past. He prefers to see John happy than being Petty about it. ( for me, that's love, as long as the other half is happy, I'm good)

Now let's remember what Sherlock did for the Watson's during this episode:

> greatest best man speech

> compose a Waltz

> teach John how to dance

> organize an intricate stag night with a personal touch

> prevent a murder at his Best friend's wedding

> got in good terms with Archie

> scared off Mary's ex, so he'd stay put.

> Made sure they still had beautiful wedding pics before arresting the photographer

Helps organizing :

> the sitting setting at the reception

> the time Schedule

> the tissues

* = quoted from https://arianedevere.livejournal.com/66078.html

That was all I had for you guys~ ✨I really hope you liked it, I enjoyed writing this, comment your thoughts, I'd appreciate feedback :')

Hello! I am so so sorry to bother you, but I absolutely adore your edits!! I'm trying to get into making edits myself, and the one thing I can't figure out is how to do the colour gradient words like you did with one of your Merlin edits I saw 😭😭 could you possibly help me?

Sorry for answering this a bit late, but thank you so much it means a lot for someone who hasn't giffed in about a year!

And you mean the colour gradient on the text underneath the gifs right?? I’ll explain it more under the cut. Please excuse my explaining, as I am not the best at it.

To get the colour gradient I use this website, because to put it in simple terms its easier.

So first off you want to type in your text that you want to use on this box through the website mentioned, and pick the colours that you want to use.

Then you click the run button and you should end up with a bunch of text like this:

You want to copy and paste that bunch of text and then make sure you have your post set to the html layout rather that the plain text layout like so:

Once you click the html layout just copy and paste your text and you should have the colour gradient you wanted!

Hope that helps! If you have anymore questions don't be afraid to ask! <3

I'VE BEEN PONDERING CAPS

It could be because you're living in the future. It's obvious why investors delay.1 When a friend of mine visiting India sprained her ankle falling down the steps in a railway station. I've learned a lot from things I've read on HN. An Operational Definition. Will your blackberry get a bigger screen? The numbers on the Y Combinator application that would help Web-based software forces programmers to. Don't wait before climbing that mountain or writing that book or visiting your mother.2

The conversations you overhear tell you what to do anymore. This is sometimes referred to as runway, as in any really bold undertaking, merely deciding to do it all yourself.3 4%? Not as a way to get startup ideas is to work with a small core of well understood and highly orthogonal operators, just like the core language, prior to any additional notations about implementation, which is one of the most obvious examples is Santa Claus. Venture funding works like gears. After ten weeks' work the three friends have an idea. The price is that valuation caps aren't actual valuations, and notes are cheap and lightweight.4 Otherwise you won't bother learning much more.5 To see an interesting variety of probabilities we have to be specific about what they plan to do and the kind that's interesting to write.6

What problems? It gives us an excuse for being lazy, the others would be more fun. But should you start a startup than just start it. After all, as most companies do more mundane stuff where the decisive factor is effort, not brains. Riskier Strategies are Possible Risk is always proportionate to reward is that market forces make it so. By similar comparisons you can make yourself nearly immune to tricks. Is an inbox the optimal tool for that? Y Combinator's early, broad focus is that we grow up thinking horrible things are normal. The big dogs don't have to be called Ajax.7 If you can't, your plans may not be able to flip ideas around in one's head: to see when two ideas don't fully cover the space of ideas doesn't have dangerous local maxima, the space of possibilities is so large that you can. And this turns out to be. The best word to describe the way lions seem in the wild seem about ten times more alive.8

They don't even get a shot at being really big. But the techniques for building integrated circuits spread rapidly to other countries. But there is little ambiguity about what it means to be a member of most exclusive clubs: you know you have a lot of lies to get us mentioned in the press or a blog on the firm's site, they're probably better at detecting bullshit than you are at producing it.9 The VC funds that don't adapt won't be violently displaced. Depends on what you want.10 A rounds. Then you could, I don't mean to suggest by this list that America is the perfect place for startups. Detox A sprinter in a race almost immediately enters a state called oxygen debt. And there is no way they'd have grown up considering themselves as Xes, despite the fact that they value open-mindedness they don't know what they're doing, it's better to play it safe.

Make Web sites for galleries—that's the ticket!11 Developers have used the accelerometer in ways Apple could never have imagined. Everyone makes up their own deal terms. If they shake your hand on a promise, because there will be an effort to understand him. In fact, you don't need Microsoft on the client, they can't push users towards their server-based software, you're being offered millions of dollars, put yourself in a situation with a large percentage of the gains.12 Html 15. Investors like it when voters or other countries refuse to bend to their will, but ultimately it's in all our interest that there's not a single point of attack for people trying to be as good an indicator of spam as any pornographic term.13 Instead of treating them as virtual words. If you're not omniscient, you just stop working on it till you've launched.

Really, it's Apple's fault.14 If you feel exhausted, it's not uncommon for investors and acquirers. Links and images you should certainly look at, if we want to make their mark on the world, and some of the more beautiful highways in the world, write a new Mosaic. Not linearly of course, but that's true in a lot of people that age, and he was pretty much a throwaway program and keep improving it. A lot of the same words as my real mail. Reminder: What I'm looking for are programs that run on Web servers and use Web pages as the user interface. Not ready for commitment This was my reason for not starting a startup—becoming the sort of strategic insight I was supposed to look. I learned something valuable from that. After a while this filter will start to make up their minds, and excessive dilution in series A rounds later. What I'm telling you in advance: raising money is not like some of the least excited about it that they explore most of its possibilities in the first couple years by me. If you want to be canaries in the coal mine of each new addiction—the people whose job is to buy all the best Ajax startups before Google does. Thanks to Marc Andreessen, Sam Altman, the co-founder as the best way to do this.

If they even say no. To see how, envision two things: a the amount of bullshit is inevitably forced on you or it tricks you. Companies didn't start to finance themselves with retained earnings was one cause of the second type. But it could be shipped to Europe. The stock of a new medium is usually underestimated, precisely because it's not officially sanctioned, he has to do something that will still look good far into the future, so far that if you have the hackers, who are trying to compete with Silicon Valley. But they work as if they got the answer to this question. Most startups that raise money do it more. And I've met a lot of servers and a lot of money to us. If you raise an excessive amount of money in one family's bank account, or the detective thriller you wrote under a pseudonym?15 Football players like to win by making great products.

Notes

I tried ranking users by both average and median comment score, and b made brand the dominant factor in deciding between success and failure, just as on a saturday, he wrote a prototype in Basic in a situation where the acquirer just wants the business, and B doesn't, that he had more fun in this, but the distribution of good ones, it will seem more powerful sororities at your school sucks, where many of the political pressure to protect one's children seems weaker, judging from things people have to decide between turning some investors away and selling more of the first abstract painters were trained to expect the second component is empty—an idea where the ratio of spam in my incoming mail fluctuated so much better to overestimate than underestimate the importance of making a good product. It's surprising how small a problem, but also very informative essay about why something isn't the problem is that any idea relating to the way I know for sure a social network for x instead of working. And starting an organic farm, though. Brooks, Rodney, Programming in Common Lisp for, but corrupt practices in finance, healthcare, and no one would have a different attitude to the way I know it didn't to undergraduates on the other team.

I'm thinking of Oresme c. If by cutting the founders' advantage if it were.

Then when we got to the same, but they start to get rich by creating wealth—wealth that, in Galbraith's words, of the fatal pinch where your idea is crack. The Old Way. Compromising a server could cause such damage that ASPs that want to measure that turns out to be the right direction to be an inverse correlation between the two elsewhere, but when companies reach a given audience by a factor of 20. Mueller, Friedrich M.

And if they want impressive growth numbers. In high school. There are also the 11% most susceptible to charisma. So although it works on all the other hand, they made more that year from stock options, because the broader your holdings, the work that seems formidable from the government had little acquired immunity to tax rates.

A from a company's culture. It's hard to mentally deal with them.

Stone, op. 03%. In the beginning. I wrote this on an IBM laptop.

But it is very common, but also like an undervalued stock in that. Did you just get kicked out for doing badly and is doomed anyway. And that is actually from the CIA.

Steve hadn't come back. For example, I was just having lunch. A friend who started a company is common, but suburbs are so intellectually dishonest in that sense, but corrupt practices in finance, healthcare, and domino effects among investors.

Founders rightly dislike the sort of wealth for society. But a couple predecessors. Some of the most accurate way to tell VCs early on.

Joshua Schachter tells me it was the recipe is to ignore investors and instead focus on growth instead of blacklist. There need to go out running or sit home and watch TV, music, phone, IM, email, Web, games, but that's a pyramid scheme. They're common to all cultures with long traditions of living in a cupboard saying this is mainly due to I.

Articles of this essay, I advised avoiding Javascript. This is an acceptable excuse, but Google proved them wrong. Nor do we draw the line?

Financing a startup.

One YC founder who read this essay wrote: After the war, tax rates. One-click ordering, however, and since technological progress aren't sharply differentiated.

Plus one can have margins big enough, a day feels like it if you want to take action, go ahead. In this essay, I believe will be inversely proportional to the year x in a time. Philadelphia.

A from a mediocre VC. This approach has not worked well, so if you're not sure.

Thanks to Chris Small, and Trevor Blackwell for their feedback on these thoughts.

It’s That Bad That Now I Talk Politics: A Rant

That was a clickbait, guys, I’m not going to preach about political things as I am not in a proper capability to do that. I’m sorry (not sorry) but I do still think that we all can and need to educate ourselves with the current social issues instead of hoping that someone “better” would spoon-feed it to us. However, I will provide a few reliable news link by the end of the post to give you insights about what happened.

Things are getting worse that people like me, who prefers to look up about how JLo learned how to pole dance from the internet rather than what my own President is doing, actually got off my comfort bubble screaming “HOLY SHIT!” then changing my profile pictures into some plain black hashtags in solidarity of my peers and fellow Indonesians. Yup, it’s that bad. If you hate politics as much as I do, understand this: I get it that you just wanna get everything over with, and you’re tired of all the negativity and you don’t know who to trust, but sadly, we’re not 10 years old anymore, we can’t afford to stay at the same level of ignorant as when we were a kid just because it’s not our cup of tea. I mean, look at Greta Thurnberg, that kid is screaming for her future, and so should we. I mean, in 30 years we are most probably still alive, though not in our prime age anymore. So yes, for people with big egos like us, think about our own futures!

In this post, I will only stating my opinions and concerns towards a massive student demonstration that took place is various cities in indonesia yeterday. This is another complex and urgent issue, that has been spread out in many misleading ways by the western medias: the demonstration against the revision of the criminal code, anti-corruption bill, urging government to execute the anti-sexual violence bill, and of course, the environment issues.

As I mentioned before, many western media wrote misleading articles about the movement. Most of them only highlight a piece of the first point, that in the criminal code draft, pre-marital sex could be criminalized, including for the foreign tourists. So they simplify it into “sex laws”. like EXCUSE ME? There are so many problematic points in the code yet of course you gotta pick the sex points because Indonesia as the stereotype of taboo-ing the matter and/or because it actually the thing that can affect the western. Like, seriously, I had to lecture my husband when he shared a Facebook status about how Australians should stop taking vacation to Bali because of the “new law” while he had no idea what it was about (and so did the author of the post). White people seriously need to check their privilege and educate themselves regarding the issues that aren’t their story.

Anyway, As per this morning, the hashtag #HidupMahasiswa (Long Live the Students) has been #1 worldwide trend as the demonstrations that took place yesterday in many cities in Indonesia were conducted by hundreds of students from different Universities. Each of them wore their alma mater jackets to show solidarity and status as they didn’t want other civilians with hidden agenda to join. This honestly is the peak of my nationality, it’s like the best historical moment I’ve ever been through all my life. I tear up and sincerely having mixed feelings of worry and proud every time I stumble on the news.

I followed the real-time development of the movement since many of my peers are sharing it through social media. Yeah right, said the baby boomers, why believe social media? Oh maybe because the mainstream media doesn’t talk the truth about big issues due to some private interests. These are real people with real friends and communities, some of them I know personally, and let’s admit, social media is our power in this generation. These people share their genuine experiences and tackle the false issues based on what they see in the field.

Some points that I noted from people who actually were in the field is that many of the allegations by the parliament on TV were NOT true, such as the claim that the students demonstrated with violence. The thing is the students did not start the chaos, police started shooting them with tear gas and they panicked and started running away. Imagine hundreds of people that can’t see clearly, in pain, panicking and running to so many directions. The students asked the police to stop but they didn’t stop, many students actually warned each others not to get provoked. The chaos mentioned started when it was getting dark by unknown civilians who didn’t wear alma mater jacket. The clarifications were very precise, from many angles, and even civilians who happened to be in locations said the same thing. Not to mention the victim of police violence, many students had to be taken to hospitals for injuries.

It’s very sad to see people with privileges posting on their Facebook page shaming these brave students saying that they were dumb for not calculating other civilians who could use this opportunity to start chaos. I am filled with rage reading how they conveniently type from the comfort of their homes, that demonstrating is stupid and irrelevant and inviting violence. These people watched the news from mainstream TV medias who only interviewed the elites of the governments being in denial of their mistakes, and never show the other side of the story. Some became a delusional fan of the President, only caring about news saying that there were never any request from the students to drag him down.

What was even more upsetting, when I looked at the creative demonstration posters uploaded to Facebook, I found a lot of disgusting comments towards women protesters. People, mostly men, wrote like, “I should start raping then.” And even one of the elite government officer tweeted how the demonstration was “infiltrated by liberals who wants to do adultery sin”. The head of People’s Representative Council of Indonesia called a female journalist, “honey” as he was answering questions in an interview, followed by men’s audience laughter.

These are exactly why we need the anti-sexual harassment bill! Look at our sex education system, it lacks so much because of the “taboo” culture that tends to block information, so that people keep being clueless and missing the real point of the education: how to use contraception, the importance of consent, etc. And instead of educating properly, they suggest to block the entire sex education? Sex will always be there and people will always find ways to do it, it’s one of human’s basic instincts, The problem is how they can have better, safer sex instead of how they to make them stop having sex at all.

These old geezers should face that values have changed in today’s society, they should’ve realized that the old Indonesian way to block everything “bad” is never the answer. It’s 2019 and we need to catch up with time. As time flows, things change, values shift, and we need an open mind to always be “relatable”. Today, ageism is no longer acceptable, just because you’re older, doesn’t mean you always know better.

The seniors said that students should be at their class studying, when on other times complaining about how much millennial and Gen Z don’t care about the government. They want us to listen to them coz they are the adults, forgetting that we are adults too, just because we haven’t worked as long as you, doesn’t mean we haven’t developed the same (or maybe better) critical thinking that makes an adult, adult. We have the rights to speak up and be listened to, especially because we’re the ones going to suffer all the consequences in the long run.

I believe yesterday’s movement would become one of the turning points of Indonesia, we still haven’t gotten an exact, satisfying answer towards our demands, heck we still haven’t gotten the respect we deserve as the citizen of this nation. However I’m sure, more young people are becoming more aware of what’s happening in the country and hopefully more will join us in the fights for humanity and justice.

As far as feedback goes, I don't agree with the recent trend of not giving full size artwork to people. Some of the more recent batches of coadles are positively tiny and the art seems pretty low quality (resolution), it is scandalous to expect people to pay hundreds of dollars to not provide the full size artwork out of laziness. I don't care about the "you pay for the rights to use the species" reasoning because its an excuse not an explanation, people care about this species but feel cheated.

Answered by Tay and Maho

Tay - While i can understand your’s and other’s frustration. You have to understand that many adoptables out there that go over $1000 and sometimes even over $2000 are never given a separate image with them but many people find no issue with it or feel cheated. This may only be an issue with Maho because Maho put in the extra effort from the onset to give refs complimentary to her designs but was taken advantage of. So while other artists never started out giving refs, their members never feel cheated because they never had that opportunity to begin with. Maho did, so when she no longer gives them it was Maho who was at fault. It is done out of protection of her art, and to keep other users from using the full sized refs to scam others. Some people do have the idea that a full size art = ownership and someone who can come to own one or find the posted full size can sell to multiple people using the art as proof of ownership and scamming others (Happened in other communities already and becoming a trend). Rather than referring to the masterlist, and is very unsafe. One CS artist was being bullied into refunding those who were scammed because they thought the full refs meant the person could sell it to them but never checked the actual owner’s list to verify. The full sized ref = ownership idea is was probably the worst thing to put as the standard in the community in the first place and in the community in general and has been causing lots of issues with many CS creators. To avoid the same issues it was also implemented with our species to remove full sized refs. It’s the “Someone ruined it for everyone else” sort of deal and we apologize for that. If every member was perfect and respectful of the art this would have never happened. Another thing is Maho and her admins do not always receive more than 200$ for the adopts they make let alone 100$ at most. She does not believe in charging any more than 200$ autobid for her species because she still tries to maintain fairness and allows others that can’t even go over 25$ a chance to gain one of her species for free through hard work and fun events.

We have a master list that proves the ownership of who ever buys a certain design. Ive talked to many people of the community and most of them do not feel cheated over the recent events of not receiving files. In fact the majority understand why it happened, but as for you feeling cheated the most i can do is apologize for it and that no harm was meant by it. Also please know that as we are currently aware of only Maho is not giving out files to her adopts but the other admin still might with theirs. Just a bit of info, sorry for rambling ^^; Tried to get out as much info i knew to help out. Maho - I am willing to give out transparent files (Without BG, full size if the small batch ones since I post them at 50% size) if asked only. But it would be in my free time and not part of the design’s cost. It would be me doing it for free since the money I get from the design usually doesn’t even cover the cost of making it alone and time spent adding it to the master list, hours working to polish etc. Majority of my designs sell for less than 50 dollars and it takes me hours to do one design. From our perspective we feel that no one should say “I feel cheated” if they pay less than the work itself and expect even more for free. We don’t show how long it takes to design these so we know that outside our admin circle people don’t see all the background work we put into all this, especially if they do not run a species themself and realize that 99% of work (Admin, modding, item designing, programing, html, masterlist updating, rule making, tweeking and working to improve) all go unpaid. So I understand the frustration, but I don’t ever “Set stuff in stone” and I always am able to bend a bit for people who are willing to work with me and be patient. But the art is just complimentary (Me doing it for a good member) not owed to the designs anymore. I like using BGless refs myself from other species I own so I definitely understand and sometime in the future may find a way to post my designs in an appealing way that has no bg and is easy to crop if in a batch but still keeps some sort of small watermark. And the tiny designs you speak of, mostly sell for 25 to 30 dollars a piece and are kept small to encourage people to make the price fair for those who cannot afford the larger sized more polished ones. So they can still get one of the species but more affordable. Think of it like fabric at a store, you get discounts if you get scraps or edge of fabric pieces. And give people who cannot afford the highest tier fabric cuts a chance to get fabric. I KNOW how it feels to be priced out of species and if I can make simple, easier and smaller designs to give less financially able people a chance at it I will give them that chance like I’d like from other species. And these designs can be drawn full size and much better at a later date to with YCHs, and rebase commissions by Myself or my admin. No one should feel stuck with tiny art when there are lots of ways to get them drawn, or even draw them yourself the size you’d like if you can. There are lots of options and I hope that our ramblings have helped in some way. People should understand both sides to this and that we are trying our best, and our best may not be the best for everyone. We do not force anyone to buy our designs, or force them to stay in the community and if refs is a deal breaker there are lots of species from really nice people who do give refs. But they may be pricier or harder to get into.Last note - Those who work for practically free when everything is calculated together and continue to work as hard as they can to create a community despite the cost/hours disparity I wouldn’t consider lazy. Lazy is not running a CS group in the first place and not having to work with strangers and avoid conflicts since you don’t get them by not doing anything.

Announcement + Warning Check Results

Hey everyone!

This is really, really long, but I hope everyone can make the time to peruse of the entirety of this announcement.

Here’s a TL;DR of this massive announcement post:

Anyone warned on June 17th passed the July 1st warning check, with the exception of three people.

We ask that you please unfollow Claire, Jin, and Wayne.

They are also now available for reservation.

We are giving our activity rules a complete overhaul after July 15th’s activity check.

The July 15th activity check will go ahead as planned. Characters are still responsible for 8 posts by July 15th.

Any character that joins the masterlist between today (July 3rd) and July 13th are only responsible for four posts to pass the July 15th check.

We have a new theme. Please message us if there are any broken links or broken codes.

There are some additions and changes to the blog and its pages:

We have a new general navigation page;

All forms are now on one page, including our application, what to include in a reservation, & the heart levels base;

We have a new Discord guide page for those unfamiliar with the server;

We have brought back the requested character page;

There is a new credit/resource page for art/fonts/etc found on the HMMasterlist;

The updates tab has been moved to its own section;

We have a new banner.

As we have a requested characters page again, feel free to drop us an ask with any character you’d like for someone else to pick up.

We will be having an event in July, although the details aren’t worked out yet. You can expect more in a coming announcement.

The administration of the HMMasterlist have learned a lot about what works for the community and what doesn’t work within the past month and a half. You can expect some changes around here in the coming weeks, and we’d like to start by announcing that we have decided to completely modify our activity rules — however, we are going to wait until after July 15th’s activity check to officially do so.

As such, we decided it was unfair to enforce that the characters warned in June’s activity check were required to make eight posts. We messaged all characters that had been given a warning on June 17th — through Discord, if possible, or Tumblr otherwise — to let them know how we’d be doing things on Friday.

There were two types of messages we sent out:

If your character had been warned in the June check but posted whatsoever since June 16th, you passed the warning check. You are still responsible for the eight posts due July 15th, but are in good standing.

However, if you were warned and did not post whatsoever in the past two weeks, we instead sent you a message asking if you would like to keep your character.

Here, we stated that you had 72 hours to respond to the message and indicate your decision.

If you said yes, you passed the warning check, and are still responsible for the eight posts due July 15th.

If you said no or did not answer, we considered that to be “failing” the check, and dropped the character from the masterlist.

July 1st Warning Check Results

Here are the passes:

Chase

Harvest Goddess

Iris

Mistel

Witch Princess

Minori

Yue

And those who either decided to drop or did not reply:

Wayne

Claire

Jin

We ask that you please unfollow Jin, Wayne, and Claire. These three characters are also available for reservation.

Upcoming Activity Check (July 15th)

As a reminder for the July 15th activity check, all characters are responsible for 8 posts in this activity cycle (between June 17th and before the activity check announcement is posted on July 15th).

As per our current activity rules, the only exceptions to this rule are:

A roleplayer is indicated to be on semi-hiatus or hiatus, so their characters are excused from the activity check;

A character joins the day of the activity check or the day prior, where they receive a faux pass;

A character joins between July 3rd and July 13th, in which case they are only responsible for four posts to pass.

New Theme + Blog Additions and Changes

The theme has been up for a few days now, but in case anyone hasn’t been on the blog or only has been on mobile, I’d recommend giving it a look to familiarize yourself with where links are, etc. I personally only lightly tweaked the HTML myself from a theme maker’s code, so hopefully there shouldn’t be any issues. However, my knowledge of HTML is equivalent to the knowledge a tree has of HTML, and mistakes are largely possible.

Please inform us of anything out of place — broken links, links that direct to the wrong place, bad code, etc — via an ask message. Thanks!

My resolution is 1920 x 1080, I use a Firefox fork, but I also double-checked it in Chrome and it was fine. If you have a larger resolution or a smaller one — or run Safari, IE, or Opera, regardless of resolution — please indicate your resolution & browser if something looks really, really wrong. I think it should be fine, though, except most likely on IE!

Here is an explanation of the changes to pages and layout:

1. This pretty boring, but... besides our tag list page, we now have a navigation page. Before I changed the theme and added more pages, we could actually link every page on the masterlist homepage. We can’t anymore, so instead we have this!

2. I moved all of our forms to one page for ease of use. You can now find the reservation form, the main character application, and the heart levels base on one page.

3. We now have a credit page. I always believe in giving credit where it is due and thought it was time to do so on the HMMasterlist. This is still a work in progress, however, you can find links to all fonts seen on our blog, the small white icons throughout the theme, and the theme itself. I’m working on including links to the un-edited images of the official art on our blog.

4. We have a requested characters page again. If you’d like to see a certain character roleplayed, feel free to drop us an ask requesting them. We’ll add them to the page and hopefully someone will pick them up sooner rather than later.

5. There’s a page explaining the Discord server and the channels within it. This will likely mostly be of use to future new members, and isn’t important for those already a part of the Discord server.

6. We now have a clock — set to UTC -4, what the Masterlist uses — in our description. This should make it easier to know if your ask didn’t go through or if no one has been around to answer it yet, especially combined with our status tab (the upper-right sidebar section.) What was once in the updates tab is now there, including a link to our latest announcement & the time that a mod last checked the inbox.

7. We have a new banner & art featured on the blog, which I guess is worth mentioning. That I hate Photoshop is definitely worth mentioning though and I apologize for the banner LOL.

Future Changes?

Since I was just talking about the theme, I’d like to start off this section by indicating that I’d also like to change some other parts of it. Currently, I’m hoping to combine our FAQ & askbox into one page for ease of use, change the style of our affiliates page to include promotional pictures for each community/website we are affiliated with, edit the rules page to make it look less ... long, and hopefully code all of the above from scratch. There’s also still some light formatting I’d like to do to make things cleaner.

We have decided that we will absolutely be hosting an event in July, although we are not 100% on the details aside from that we are hoping to get everyone involved in something. There will be more on events in a coming announcement, which should be July 15th at the latest.

As I’ve already stated, we will be giving our activity rules a complete overhaul. More on this will be posted with the July 15th activity check. I’d like to say that if you are finding it difficult to put in eight posts on each blog, you can rest assured that we will be lowering the requirement with this rule change. Please just hang in there until this check is done!

There will also be some more things along with this July 15th announcement! I’m going to keep them a secret, though. ;)

Concluding Notes

On behalf of the administration, I would like to extend a massive thank you to our members for sticking with us through the past month and a half. HMML was my first moderating experience in 2011, and although I have went on to moderate other communities since then, I have not done so in almost four years... It’s been a bit of a wild ride trying to get back into the swing of things (when was the last time I had to edit HTML? How does new xkit work?) and I often wonder if there’s more I could be doing! Despite my initial insecurities, it’s been a largely enjoyable and worthwhile experience, and I have to thank you all for it.

It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and meet new people, and I only hope that we can welcome more members — both experienced HMMLers and those unfamiliar to the community — in the future.

Cheers,

mod Jamie

ALL OF THEM.

SHAKES FIST AT SKY

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?Like everything. Nah, but like mildly annoying stuff happens all the time. Like people that still ask me to RP and then never get back to me, and people still steal art for icons. Yada Yada blah blah blah♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz?FUCK YEAH THEY HAVE! Haha, there’s been a couple Ezreals that have blatantly taken some stuff from me. One even straight up took Ace’s birthday (which only has a very significant meaning between DL and I)! That was actually hilarious.

♚ How many people don't like you?Probably a lot. Oh fucking well.⚜ How many people do you not like?Also a lot. Well, nah there’s not that many around any more. Most of them have shown their true colors and been ousted. There’s not even double digits around anymore.✮ Have you managed to stay away from drama?Nope.☄ Have you ever been in the middle of drama?Yep.☯ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation?Yep!☼ How long do you stay mad?Forever and a day. I always remember slights against me. Whether or not I bring them back up depends on if said offender continues to be an asshole or not. I believe in redemption and that the ignorant can be learned. ☁ Have you ever forgiven a partner when you shouldn't have?Yep.☂ Have you ever been forgiven when you knew you shouldn't have been?Yeah. I’m not infallible. I don’t deserve most of the friends I have for some of the shit I’ve done.☢ What fads/trends are you so over?Stealing art for butchered icons and bad photoshop jobs and not crediting artists for people’s crappy 10 x 10 icons.☣ Have you ever rp'd with someone you knew for a fact was abusive but tried to give them a chance/to make up your own opinion on the roleplayer? Did they change or did you understand what people were talking about? Sure have! They weren’t as bad as I was told, and we ended up being okay friends, honestly. I’ve found many slights can be imagined on this sight.♨ Have you ever made a public call out post?Sure have. Don’t regret it one bit. They 100% deserved it.❀ What has made you completely lose your chill?People defending pedophilia ships. Good god I lost my gottdamn mind✿ What do you think about public call out posts?Depends. Sometimes they’re necessary if the severity warrants it. If it’s for ‘wahh this person won’t rp with me wahhh’ no absolutely not. But actual issues dealing with minors or abuse or actual issues? Yeah, call them out. ✦ Thoughts on duplicates following you? I don’t think there any other Ace of Spades Ezreals, but I do like my other Ezreal variants and enjoy them most of the time!!✧ Do you agree with reblog karma or is it forced interaction?Yeah, I agree with it on most things. Some stuff I get it just doesn’t work like sentence starters and such. But I don’t think there’s any excuse for things like this like sending symbols. I 100% uphold it on my end, and have actually apologized to muns for not sending something say if all had been answered or whatever. It’s in my rules that you don’t have to do the same for me. But I sure do take note of people that send and people that don’t. ❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?Yep! Please see all the cute characters in Undertale that fits tons of my aesthetics (coughs Mettaton coughs) and now mean shit to me. A couple hetalia characters too. ❦ Has someone been jealous of you?Yep, but y’know what, we actually talked about it, and it’s worked out alright since then. I’m sure there are other silent brooders, but oh well.✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?This weird thing with aesthetic blogs and not sourcing and tiny font and just general very poor writing covered up by HTML was definitely not as big as it was when I first joined.♒ Thoughts on the fandom you're currently rping in?It has it’s ups and downs. I enjoy it though. It could be sooooo much worse let me tell you. I still consider my extended time between Hetalia, Superwholock and Homestuck the absolute worst.❣ How salty are you feeling right now?Right now? Did you mean always? ‘Cause my blood is pure sodium.

JavaScript Crawling for Better & More Accurate Site Audits

There are over 1.5 billion web sites in the world, and JavaScript is used on 95% of them.

With no additional introduction on the importance of performing an in-depth SEO analysis on your site, regardless of the language programming it uses, we are proud to tell you that starting today, cognitiveSEO can crawl and perform in-depth site audits on all type of websites, JavaScript generated sites included.

With so many sites using content generated with JavaScript, you might feel that there is no need to highlight the importance of JS. Yet, with so many changes happening in the world wide web, it is safe to assume that one might not be up to date with everything that is happening in web development. However, using JavaScript highly impacts a business and its SEO strategy; therefore, being able to run site audits on all type of sites is a must these days.

So, indulge us to talk a bit about the importance of JavaScript Crawling, about how to run a site audit on JS generated sites within cognitiveSEO and how JavaScript affects SEO.

Find All Possible SEO Issues on JavaScript Websites

As we mentioned before, cognitiveSEO has just added a brand new feature: the possibility of crawling & analyzing JavaScript websites.

You can find all the possible technical and SEO issues a site may have and get recommendations on how to fix them.

cognitiveSEO’s Site Audit analyzes the technical health of your JavaScript website and helps you detect all the weak points of your website before your users do, giving you a competitive advantage on the competitive market we are swimming in. The SEO Audit Tool crawls all the pages it finds on a website, be it JavaScript or not, regardless of the size of your website, and provides a fully customized set of data easy to comprehend and visualize.

The truth is that with the ever-evolving search engines algorithms you need an efficient solution to keep your rankings safe. And cognitiveSEO does exactly that: it lets you know all the issues that might prevent your online business from getting the organic traffic and the high rankings you deserve.

You can set JavaScript crawling for any site with literally one click: simply enable the JavaScript crawling functionality from the editing section and you’re all set.

Of course, along with this functionality there are dozens of other customizations you can add to your site audit so it can best respond to your needs: crawl structure, when to crawl, what to crawl, crawl sources, etc. Anything you need to perform a site audit as accurate and reliable as possible.

Performing a complete JavaSscript website audit will give you a deeper understanding of why your site is not generating the organic traffic you think it should or why your sales and conversions are not improving. This kind of website audit gives you a much wider array of SEO items to look at and can analyze issues of all types that might prevent you from reaching your best possible ranking.

Why Is JavaScript Crawling So Important?

There are tons of websites using JS and it’s easy to understand why this happens. Using JavaScript in designing and building websites is very popular as it makes it possible to create interactive and dynamic content. Visual animations, navigation, displaying dynamic content to users based on specific behaviors are just a few of the things that can be done with JavaScript.

Yet, analyzing a JavaScript website is not always a walk in the park. It requires a lots of resources and in-depth analyses. Luckily, you don’t need to worry about this anymore as you can run complete Site Audits within cognitiveSEO, on all types of websites.

Here are just some of the advantages of enabling JavaScript crawling when running a Site Audit:

You’ll get a more accurate analysis and you’ll have a better issues identification.

Many sites use JavaScript generated content, be it completely or partially. Even if your site has only a couple of elements generated with JS, it is highly important to get those sections analyzed as well. It’s always the small pieces that make the bigger picture.

You can find out how crawlable your pages are with and without JavaScript rendering enabled.

JavaScript analysis is the closest thing you get to what your users actually see within their browsers. You can run an SEO audit, with and without JS enabled and see the differences for yourself.

You can analyze a wider range of websites.

So, let’s say that you want a really cool site template, with a dandy interface, so you choose to create your site using Wix, for instance. That’s awesome! The downside is that in most of the instances you’ll hardly find possibilities of completely analyzing all the technical and SEO issues your site might have. Yet, the JavaScript crawling gets things done for you, allowing you to analyze sites built with different platforms and programming languages.

What Is JavaScript and How Does it Work?

JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages to develop websites. It uses frameworks to create interactive web pages by controlling the behavior of different elements on the page.

Initially, JS frameworks were implemented client-side (front-end) only in browsers, but now the code is embedded in other host software, such as server-side (back-end) in web servers and databases, which will save you from a lot of trouble and pain. The problems started when JavaScript implementation relied only on client-side rendering.

If JavaScript frameworks have server-side rendering, you’ve already solved the problem before it even arises. To better understand exactly why problems appear and how you can avoid them, it is important to have some basic knowledge on how search engines work. For that, we need to establish the phases of the information retrieval process: crawling, indexing and ranking.

How JavaScript Affects SEO

If you want to find out more about the impact of JavaScript on SEO, you need to know that we wrote a more exhaustive piece of content on JavaScript and SEO.

JavaScript means more loading time speed and faster server load (code functions run immediately instead of waiting for the server to answer), easier implementation, richer interfaces and higher versatility (can be used in a huge variety of applications). But JavaScript SEO brings some problems along the way. Lots of webmasters fail to optimize the content that uses JavaScript code. And this is (most likely) because they don’t have a complete site audit overview.

Everybody started to doubt whether search engines, like Google, are able to crawl JavaScript. And that was the wrong question to ask. The better question to ask is can search engines parse and understand the content rendered by Javascript? In other words, can Google rank your website if it’s made in JavaScript? The truth is that more and more websites are relying on JavaScript, so search engines have improved their page rendering functionality.

Even if not completely maybe, it’s important to know that Google is able to crawl and index the rendered version of pages as well as the HTML version.

So, the questions that pop out are:

“Does Google crawl JavaScript?” The answer is more and more lately.

“Does Google index JavaScript?” The answer is yes.

“Should I use JavaScript?” The answer is it depends on your needs.

A JS website is indexed and ranked. We’ve learned things the hard way until now. We know that making it easier for Google to understand the generated content is the best approach. To help Google rank content that uses JavaScript, you need tools and plugins to make it SEO friendly. And you need a comprehensive SEO analysis to make sure your site is performing as well as it can.

It’s not all sunshine and roses, we know. You need to know that JavaScript uses up crawl budget as Google requires more resources to render, crawl and index JS websites, adding a layer of complexity to the process. Moreover, JavaScript can be hard to combine with good SEO.

Yet, regardless of all these matters, keep in mind that a good SEO Audit can save you from lots of bigger troubles; and since you now have the possibility of performing audits on all types of sites, JS included, you have no excuses for not performing a Site Audit right now.

Why Is It Hard for Some People to Trust and How to Trust Again

Trust no one. This seemingly beneficial virtue for a happy life can be a bit counterproductive, making issues where there didn’t need to be one. A lack of trust can lead to a multitude of issues, including the inability to maintain relationships. But if you trust too much, you leave yourself vulnerable; a target for disappointment.

The concept of trust: the firm belief in reliability, truth, ability, or strength of something or someone; is a bit foreign when reclusive secrecy has become the norm. But the fact of the matter is, if we build our walls up too high, we doom ourselves to a fate full of solitude and loneliness.

The concept of trust is developed early on in life, leaving room for developmental issues down the line.

During our infant and toddler stages, we as humans being assessing our emotions and grasp on certain dynamics. Our concept of trust is one of the first to be established. More often than not, trust issues are developed early on in life as a direct effect of an occurrence or lack thereof during childhood.[1]

Children who did not receive consistent attention, nurturing, affection, appropriate discipline, or acceptance during their developing stages are likely to establish issues later on in life; and are likely to struggle with maintaining relationships. This is even more true for children who are exposed to abusive environments, as their view of normalcy in relationships has been permanently skewed.

Trust issues can develop during any stage of life due to a variety of reasons.

Trust issues are not exclusively linked to childhood experiences, they can really develop during any stage of life.[2]

Adolescence is another milestone for trying and developmentally altering experiences. Young teens who are bullied and teased at school or at home may develop a mistrust for their peers, as their self-esteem has been effected which in turn will play a monumental role on that individuals ability to trust.

Traumatic life events during any stage of life including adulthood can seriously hinder the trust spectrum. Occurrences such as theft, illness, or loss of a loved one. This person has been disillusioned, and have to come to terms with new emotions such as loss of control, abandonment, or loss of security. On a more heinous scale, experiences such as sexual assault or rape can leave the victim stripped of the ability to trust.

The most common of trust issues, relationship issues, can develop at anytime.

Now, these can manifest during a normally healthy relationship, stemming from a childhood experience that clearly has not been processed. But more likely than not, everyone goes through “that one” relationship that turns their world upside down and alters the way that they view relationships and themselves indefinitely. Those who have been cheated on are likely to carry the notion into future relationships that no one can be trusted, and if they didn’t answer your text in 5 seconds, then they must be cheating.

And yes, granted, in today’s hook up culture, it’s difficult to give people the benefit of the doubt. With the illusion of variety and adoration generated by social media outlets; the promotion of “side pieces” and “main squeezes”, there’s not much room for the die-hard romantic who wants to achieve a meaningful and monogamous relationship.

This may surprise you, but the cheater in the relationship is typically the one with real trust issues. There are very few reasons why people cheat, and although some of the reasons may be understandable, none are excusable.[3]

But usually people tend to cheat when they’re feeling insecure, like they don’t “have it” anymore, or they have a nagging suspicion that their partner could or is doing better than them. To avoid being the one who gets betrayed, they go ahead and cheat so that they are in control of the situation so to speak.

There is a direct connection between the existence of trust issues and mental health.

Perhaps some of the most tragic trust issues are those that are generated by PTSD, due to some horrifyingly traumatic event. Many adults who have underwent war and all of the experiences that come with it, often carry those experiences with them off of the battleground.

Many of these individuals feel that they did not receive the appropriate support from their government or their peers, after offering the ultimate sacrifice. That horrific experience leaves these heroes riddled with issues, trust being the main contender.

Often times, the presence of trust issues are often couple with a multitude of additional issues. Be it abandonment, humiliation, or a traumatic physical experience, trust issues don’t travel alone. These additional ailments are a good indication as to what has caused the trust issues to begin with.

Although the trust has been lost, you can still gain it back.

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix to this problem. Trust issues are deep seeded, stemmed from an early experience, ingraining itself into your overall development. But it is not the end all. It can be mended.

Therapy – the most direct and effective way.

This should be your first method of attack. I know, I know.

Going to therapy eludes to some kind of stigma, like you’re crazy or something, or can’t handle your life. But the truth is that none of that is true. You’re just a bit damaged, and you may not even be aware as to what has caused the damage. You’re battling the after effects and you deserve a rest.

Speaking to a counselor/therapist/psychologist can be incredibly beneficial, because you end up digging deep and unveiling aspects of yourself and memories that had been suppressed. This is helpful for both the individual as well as the couple, if the trust issues are within the relationship.

Communication – a good relationship takes two.

Just because your previous partner did you wrong doesn’t mean that every person out there is an insatiable, insecure sex fiend.

Talk to them. Tell them how you’re feeling. You might think that you’re coming off as needy and whiny, but those qualities are much more welcoming when you compare them to paranoia, insecurity, accusing, and eventually resentful. Tell your partner how you’re feeling, and why you think that you have these emotions. If they’re willing to work with you and get to a place where you feel more comfortable, they’re a keeper.

If they’re thrown by your concerns, then you need to move on. You’re sliding down a toxic path to nowhere.

Moving On – sometimes letting go is better than holding on.

Sometimes it’s not all in your head. Sometimes you’ve learned from your passed experiences, and although they have left you a bit jaded, they have also left you with a intuitive wisdom. Perhaps your lack of trust has left you cynical, yet observant. Regardless of whether or not your resignations stem from a very real place, you have to weigh your happiness with the satisfaction of being right.

If you’re mind is running a million miles a minute, trying to decipher if your partner is telling you the truth; it’s time to cut it off. It is bound to run its course eventually, otherwise you’re just stuck circling in the motions.

You deserve happiness, and eventually you will find someone who doesn’t make you question every little thing.
