re: right wing shift, the popular vote numbers are currently showing that trump 2024 lost to trump 2020. this looks to be less about a shift in the population's overall tendencies and more that the population was largely disengaged from this cycle.
I just wanna know if love wins before America loses
if you’re at a low point in life right now, consider THIS:
- new people are coming your way with love
- a huge success is waiting around the corner
- the possibilities are endless
- you can always change your habits
People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Addendum: This is also a really good reason to support trust-busting. A lot of this obnoxious behavior is only possible because corporations wield monopoly power.
another addendum: most modern (4K UHD) blurays use a form of online DRM that requires the player software to access a server to get title specific decryption keys. you don't really own a film on one of those disks any more than you do on streaming, the only way to truly preserve it is to rip off the disks or from streaming, not even the physical media you can "buy" can necessarily be preserved anymore.
PIRACY ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE MEDIA PRESERVATION
hate whenever mfs in horror media are like “what was that noise…” bro you and i both know its creatures
i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good
I have been struggling
For a long fucking time
with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy
and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not
and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with
or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal
this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching
so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually
Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS
Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info
Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.
Hey, what the actual fuck?
WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK
I would have been taking it with a glass of cranberry juice every fucking morning. Thanks @letoasai
So that’s why you have to take your meds WITH WATER ONLY. ONE GLASS. ONE WHOLE GLASS OF WATER. (yes I’m a pharmacist)
nothing will ever be funnier to me than the 30-50 feral hogs joke phase, I think about it at least once a week
Happy 30-50 feral hogs day
HELP
So uh, you know those people who insist Russian psy-ops never happened?
Me three years ago being Cassandra as usual
But there are none of these on Tumblr, nooooope, anyone who claims we’ve got Russian bots on tumblr is drinking the Biden kookaid, amirite? No way a single one of those accounts telling you not to vote is running chatgpt under the hood.
Tumblr is a fate driven website. You can't find posts through the search function, you see them when you're meant to.
what the fuck
sweet, might base an agricultural civilisation on this river, hope it behaves itself
might just fuck around and find out
Diversity win! This river has ADHD
