#i had to block them it was so dumb

[musicalmoritz]

Just saw someone on TikTok deadass use the AI search engine top result on Google as a source for a point they were trying to prove. At this point just throw out the whole internet, I’ve seen enough

Actually all gravity falls shipping wars in back when the show was airing were hilarious. i once saw two ppl arguing abt wether pinecest or stancest was better like guys i think its better if we just throw both of you into the bottomless pit forever

Some of you fuckers: EsuPuri are so overhyped and there's a clear bias for EsuYume over the others and they all just kinda suck

EsuPuri:

(Also for my more in depth opinions read this post before saying anything)

On today’s episode of “here’s why the website formerly known as Twitter is broken” apparently users you have blocked will be able to see your posts again soon, just not interact with them???

DOES THAT NOT DEFEAT THE POINT OF BLOCKING????????

I know it made everyone mad but it's just really funny to me that John was going around telling everyone that not liking his wife's art was a skill issue

@internetcatholicism is blocking people who are brining up OUR's problems on their post asking for donations to support the org

I'm all for blocking people on social media but conservatives will complain about how biased and close minded people are, and how no one's willing to have a conversation. And then when it's pointed out that a charity may be sketchy, they refuse to even do any research.

I'm tired of all these people who have decided that liberals only hate sound of freedom because "oh they think it's connected to qanon". As if there aren't multiple accounts of problems

They're screaming about child trafficking but God forbid they give their money to someone who will actually make a difference

i think i would have gone loco if jo and aoki got to meet up just once after ichi breaks through to him like. the damage to my psyche id have wouldve been immeasurable, irreparable even

[subjectsix]

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

BTW block has usually being like 'lol what too much it's not that serious Yada yada'

And it is true ☝️It extensively isn't that serious -it's never been like something ideologically, deep rooted thinking, personal taste- it always uuuuh stick to the basic, the 'sides' like of course a writing, a ff can be so important and a reflection of the writers values and a cornerstone or whatever, but, still, what? Lol no, I'll leave, complain ev3n, but just leave. Bit ahhhh it is a middle point, Kay? No, it's not the creators ideology about races, but it can be more waaay more than the 'fun thing I write in 15 min'

So, let's say, it's an abo fic about Brbbsbslohfj the alien stallion and it has toe lactation and oviposition -all rather too outsideish - right? But you know here and there, ( ive thoroughly complained what actually emotionally iiiiirrrrrcccckkkssss mae) the classical 'omgsgg dick so good I'll forgive everything omgomggg' (that is excellent whatever when the pic's point is 'Dick so good reader forgives transgressions', but on passing? On an actual fic with the other actual problems and pull that out of the creators asss? Ha) and it's a no. GOD, NO.

Tfldfr block seemed to exesive, but if I stopped followiong/didn't follow after the content in the writing it was for something, like maybe petty or whatever, but it was for something. I barely, barely retain a memories of a person's pfp, if anything! Barely! And tumblr of course would just oh hey maybe you want to read this now (those 'you might like) and offc I would read the current thing not knowing the previous thing and not remembering the pfp (leave it alone the name) and then, follow?! (Again?!) I mean even the blogs owner (supposing the have literally absolutely nothing (better but anything at all) to do) might see me there and be like 'You heathen!😠🫵' and they'd be right, but of course I didn't mean to, so yeah duh of course blocking it's actually good, necesarey even, and this, sadly, had to be my discovering journey because I tried to be a whimsical 'Oh, no blocking, just bye 🧚‍♀️' but wasn't about being or beingn't nice, it was the utilitarian aspect of it.

Again, tldr

I'll star blocking because girl what I may had been just obliviously refollowing and that's not good. So, may it been the tiniest pettiest (not really, I have an excellent infallible criteria, but I'm also so godamn humongusly humble, so-) most intracendent thing, I'll be blocking. And yes, of course, OF COURSE I had to announce it and I had to announce it like longly, like check all this paragraphs jfc

Again again tldr I'll star blocking like a sport, because tumblr doesn't understand it (help me) the nice way🥵😈. Totally 100% personal though, yes.

After the VPN ban I was having trouble using dreambubble when I wasn't on my computer (since getting around it is waaay easier on desktop) but I finally found something workable that doesn't force me to not use my VPN that I pay for because of an incompetent sitestaff.

[watch-out-it-bites]

It wants me it totally does that's why there's scraping on my window and songs and little things I see and vivid thoughts it wants me and it wants me dead

[dravidious]

Maining a bad weapon/class/character/etc. it actually the best thing in the world because a) bragging rights and b) when you finally have to switch off for whatever reason and you end up playing an actually good weapon it feels like a drug. Like. You're telling me I have DECENT MOBILITY now? Unbelievable
