problems on purpose

This continues to be my favorite genre of response to this post.

Everyone look at the cat blanket I made like .. 3 years ago

Btw don't believe any Etsy ad or things trying to sell this pattern to you. It's been free since the 90s. It's very simple, just double crochet and color changes. Be sure to weave in ends as you go unlike me

not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I'd go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.

bringing the ancient meme back

really glad to see hate for this concept.

count me among the haters. i've been a hater since i first encountered this conflation of many different well-defined concepts into one ill-defined one

it's part of the general trend of hiding the inner workings of computers from the user, which is something i hate since it tends to promote computer illiteracy which tends to promote incompetence and dysfunction in society as a whole

And to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, part of the reason why everything now are apps, is because of enshittification and we can't disenshittify them. We can install an adblocker on a webpage, or tinker with what we see to improve or experience, like the Xkit extension for tumblr or many other things. And build on what others have done. With apps, we can't do that and it has a very high criminal sentence if we do.

If someone were to make an app that gives you just your feed on Instagram and don't include ads or sponsored content, that seems like it was easy enough to make. The OG app as it was called. It got 10k downloads before it was removed from the app store (basically the only way to install things unless you know your stuff and can/want to tinker with your phone a bit). And that's why you can't use other ink on your printers and ink is more expensive than gold.

Same can be said about alternatives to youtube like Newpipe. You have to install your apk from outside the appstore and every so often youtube has made changes that make it incompatible. Or the months long race when youtube was fighting against all adblockers, or the more abusive things they are trying to do, like more ads, longer ads, unskippable ads, more midroll ads, surveys, stop your videos if you are using an adblocker, prompting you to uninstall rather than stop it on their page...

And with manifest v3, a chromium upgrade which is rolling out, ad-blockers will be a lot worse on all browsers (chrome, opera, vivaldi, brave, microsoft edge) except firefox and safari (and some other less known ones, librewolf, tor browser).

So yeah, everything being apps is bad on multiple levels.

goodnight to destihellers, whoever made that convincing leaked italian dub where dean reciprocates, everyone who was featured in sarah z’s video on destielgate, everyone who just today learned that the holy water in supernatural is actually lube, everyone who has posted art with cas’ rainbow-colored wings, dean fans with gender envy, castiel and his terrible taste in cars, jackles longcon truthers, ben edlund who wrote 6x20 the man who would be king, and, as always, the latin american rogue translator

The holy water is what now?

goodnight tumblr user yuki-mekishiko

God forbid Chippy do anything

You say I've been "living in your crawlspace" and yet wikipedia describes a crawlspace as "an unoccupied, unfinished, narrow space within a building, between the ground and the first (or ground) floor." Unoccupied. So how could it possibly be a crawlspace if I'm occupying it?

Landlord explaining why he's raising your rent because now it's a two bedroom space.

right now you want to be extra careful about getting sick in the united states, especially with conditions that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. that includes covid-19 and many types of food poisoning.

there is a massive shortage of IV saline, which is what would normally be given to you to keep you hydrated. major production plants were damaged during hurricane helene.

thank you for going to the emergency room. I am so fucking glad you caught it early. rest well!!

Goddamn not even toothpaste is safe  

never mind

I should make another comic about blocking people for being even mildly annoying and how good that is for your mental health.

Yeah. That’s the way to go through life… segregating yourself from anyone, any idea that you react towards emotionally. 

“Practice intolerance of others, every day, to prove how bad they are.”

Congratulations on being mildly annoying and also blocked.

I’m blocking everyone I can identify who is harassing this person because congratulations to all of them for also missing the point of this post.

Block me too then, I see his point more than yours

ok

I have no idea who any of you are. But I agree with OP. You dont eat shit so why associate with assholes?

I understand both sides of this, therefore I can’t be blocked :sunglasses:

There is a difference between hate and constructive criticism. If someone is commenting on your art, for example, like “I’m not a fan of this”, they’re not saying your art is bad. Sure, they could’ve refrained from saying it at all, but it’s not hating. They could also say “What if the shading was like this” (I’m not an artist don’t blame me on my representation :sob: ), which is constructive criticism, and then again not hate.

However, if they said “Your art is bad”/“I don’t like you because of the art you make”/something similar, *that* is hate, and should be, at the very least, be taken with a grain of salt. If it’s wild, then a block is reasonable

“…they could’ve refrained from saying it at all, but it’s not hating.”

The original wording was “mildly annoying.” So, bad news…

Unsolicited critique amongst artists is generally regarded with the response “Thanks for the feedback but I didn’t ask.”

Have a nice day.

for each trans person who is unable to acquire hrt or safely transition in any way i will break the fingers of every single cis person on the planet

If “person” includes children then kys

sorry i m eant just children

The fuck did i do?

you sided with the treacherous count dooku

Walking around my neighborhood wearing my sick as fuck custom T-shirt that says "I STEAL EVERY FRIENDLY CAT I MEET WITH NO REMORSE I DO IT ALL THE TIME DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS KEEP THAT BEAST ENCLOSED LEST YE FACE MY LIGHTNING CAT GRASP" and smiling politely while my neighbors' indoor-outdoor cats gently trot down the sidewalk towards me as the neighbors themselves read my shirt with a growing sense of panic.

Unfollow me for cat theft all you want. You'll never catch me and you'll never stop me. Those things are this season's must-have lipgloss in an understaffed Sephora, and baby? I'm a middle-class teenage girl who's not getting enough attention at home...

People in the notes keep saying, "This is just another reason you should keep your cats inside," and I know they just mean the fact that someone in general could steal them, but I like to think they all mean that you gotta watch out for me specifically. Because you do. I'm everywhere. And I'm fast.
