You Know It's Getting Bad When Punk Music Is Good Again...

[status-quo-hater]

Dehumanizing bigots is bad, not because I want to be nice to them, but because they are human beings and they serve as a reminder that anyone is capable of evil ideation and action. Violent bigots are not fundamentally different beings from you. They are human beings, who have developed a reactionary and destructive belief system due to their circumstances combined with their biases. In a different timeline, that could've been you. Anyone can be radicalized. Nobody is immune to propaganda, not even the person reading this.

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

[i-will-physically-fight-you]

Dogs.

[sandersstudies]

I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.

[rinofwater]

The sky

[sandersstudies]

Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.

Super Mario Bros.

[sandersstudies]

Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.

He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.

[id: #the plot of bugs life is balls to the wall insane when u think abt it #small island community gets sick of their tyrannical dictator so they send their most autistic member to hire some assassins #he accidentally hires an improv group instead]

important context: the improv group has a panic attack and then, swayed by the argument that if they don’t do something their most autistic friend will actually die of social embarrassment, proceed to successfully train the local farming community in guerilla warfare and psychological terror tactics. they crash a burning plane into the dictator’s state dinner. and then when that doesn’t work the populace reverts to Plan Fuck It and just launches a coup with their collective bare fucking hands.

Lots of my favorite vines are old ones, so here are some that I didn’t want lost to the wind

Might make part 2 w/more modern vines(?)

[worddevourer]

Feels like home, y’know?

[lotrlocked]

Vine has such a different energy than tiktok like this is definitely more chaotic.

[silme-lorien]

my favorite thing about elves vs hobbits is their names. elves will be named things like “maiden with the moonlight woven in her hair” and then hobbits are straight up like oh yeah my names domble bingus rumbubo

I know I know I know he like Died died, but consider:

Galadriel arrives in the Undying Lands and Fëanor is just standing on the shores, hands on hips like “WHAT THE HELL??? THREE STRANDS??? TO A DWARF???”

Galadriel just smirks as she walks past.

Eventually, Fëanor gets over it because hey it’s FINE. He’s gonna live forever in the Lands with her, and the Dwarf won’t.

And then like a century later that Greenleaf bitch rows up in his own little canoe with WHO FUCKING ELSE

the generational gap between me and the people my age who use chat gpt

[eldritchbauble]

The queer community needs to declare a state of emergency, especially for trans people.

[eldritchbauble]

I realize this post alone is not very meaningful. I don't have the energy nor clarity of mind to elaborate rn. I will.

[eldritchbauble]

No queer gets caught alone. We go out in packs. At minimum, in groups of 2-3.

No queer gets caught defenseless. We carry a weapon for self-defense at all times. We educate ourselves and our friends on self-defense basics.

No queer gets caught unaware. If approached or harassed by police, we start filming. We educate ourselves and our friends on how to interact with law enforcement.

No queer gets left in the cold. We pull people in to strengthen the community network. All discourse and identity policing stops right now.

No queer goes without a roof, plate, or connection. We pool our community resources. We work to ensure that every queer has a safe place to stay, meal to eat, and ear to listen.

Memorize it.

No queer gets caught alone.

No queer gets caught defenseless.

No queer gets caught unaware.

No queer gets left in the cold.

No queer goes without a roof, plate, or connection.

Live it.

We cannot rely on politicians and legislation to protect us. Government does not give us the right to survive and thrive, and they do not get to take that right from us. There are more of us than them.

Queer people will always exist. They cannot kill us. They have never succeeded, and they never will.

Fascism is nothing but a fragile ideology. May it be crushed and left to rot. It has no right to exist.

You have to love each other more than you hate your oppressors, or you are doing their jobs for them.

Memorize it and fucking live it.

[eldritchbauble]

I have never been so angry in my life. This is what we do about it.

[eldritchbauble]

When communities strengthen, fascism struggles. We need to jam them up at all points.

[sandersstudies]

Hey, you reblogged that AI post and I was surprised to see something so mean on your blog. "If you cant write unassisted, fuck you, youre a disgrace to the community." Is that really something you want on your blog?

Just in case this isn't a spam message:

Posting AI-generated content to a platform intended to be an archive for writers is not appropriate use of the platform. On a platform intended for human creation, it is rude and inappropriate to clog search results with AI-produced content which often plagiarizes the work of human authors.

Use of generative AI is also horrible for our environment, leading to massive waste of fossil fuel energy and water. We should not be doing damage to our planet for the sake of generating (robot-produced, often plagiarized) fiction, especially when the joy of fiction comes from the creation and emotion of real people.

Rather than giving a prompt to a generative AI, people should consider attempting to write their own work, or asking another writer from the fandom if they would be interested in writing it. Anyone who is capable of typing a prompt into ChatGPT is capable of writing a story. The first attempts may not be amazing, but that is true of any skill, and anyone can improve with time and practice - and while ChatGPT may give you big returns in your time, it doesn't give you practice, growth, or creativity, which is where the joy of writing should come from.

[fofflesnave]

To add to this, generative AI isn't an assistant for disability. Something that assists you helps you complete a task. You do the task yourself, the thing assisting you just helps you manage parts that aren't possible for you. Assisted writing could be using dictation, using a screen reader, relying on a spellchecker, typing instead of writing by hand, etc.

You aren't doing the writing yourself if you use generative AI. You're offering up a single sentence and asking a machine to steal the hard work of others so you don't have to actually write anything. The hard work you steal may well belong to people who actually need assistance with writing, and absolutely will not appreciate seeing the struggles they overcame being turned into slop for others to claim as their own.

Enjoy the creative process. Be part of the creative process. Don't become reliant on AI to the point where you can't think, create or act for yourself. This is why AI isn't an assistant. It takes independence and from you, instead of helping you realise it. It convinces you that you can't do things, instead of helping you try. It tells you to just leave it all to the machines and don't bother yourself with the fun (and struggles) of creating.

[sl-walker]

If you use generative AI, fuck you.

[shadowmaat]

Generative AI generates content. That means the person using it isn't doing the work themselves. And that means it isn't a tool, it's a bypass. And it's a bypass used by lazy, entitled people who are more interested in "content" than in telling a good story. People who want headpats for being "creative" when they're so unoriginal they can't even do the work themselves.

Spellcheck, voice-to-print, screen readers, etc. aren't "AI," they're tools. They are what writers use to help capture their stories that they wrote. The writer does all the real work of creating and then uses tools to assist them in getting it down properly. Folks who try to lump it all together with shit like chatgpt are deliberately arguing in bad faith so that they can their machine-generated bullshit behind real tools that actually help.

PSA

This is The Adjuster (Robin Hoodie, Guy That Shot the CEO, etc.):

And this is Luigi Mangione:

And yes, they are both super cool and hot as fuck but remember, they are two different people. The Adjuster has not been found and Luigi was never involved in the shooting.

Do not talk about them as if they are the same person and do not further spread the idea that Luigi is guilty.

[ryotouzukai]

The adjuster left behind a backpack filled with monopoly money but no evidence, and carved "deny, defend, depose" into the bullet casings. That in itself is clear enough he doesn't need a manifesto.

Luigi was found days later, doesnt match some of the CCTV footage that is claimed to be the adjuster, somehow was still carrying a gun and an incoherent manifesto that opened by praising the police. Worth noting that the NYPD is known for planting evidence and has had 378 convictions overturned due to "officers' misconduct, [and] false testimony"

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

'This won't work, this isn't widespread, nobody knows, we're in a bubble, blah blah blah' my mom, a 64 year old lady with no social media whose first language is spanish, told me about this before tumblr did, and said we are going to participate.

[librarychair]

I've seen flyers for this in real life. Do it.

[shithowdy]

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

[shithowdy]

hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

[shithowdy]

past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you

[theothin]

we fucking found them?

[prof-grace-aspen]

Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.

[khashanakalashtar]

My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this

maybe I can even play computer games again

[paintpencilink]

The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.

10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.

Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")

The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
