To give more context: The reviewer was Jean Lorrain, who also was gay. Both showed up to the duel and both missed on purpose.

gay people can never just ask each other out

teenage girl sighing dreamily as she lays in her bed and writes in her diary with a pink glitter pen and when you look at the notebook shes just writing “killing and violence and killing and violence” with little hearts above the i’s over and over and over

insane some people don't use ad blockers? babe why r u rawdogging the internet

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it's a CESSPIT out there. wrap it before ya tap it babes!!!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the notes are insane

"im on mobile" adblocking exists for mobile

"im broke :(" ADBLOCKING IS FREE

"im lazy" i truly sympathize with executive dysfunction, but this is one of those quality-of-life things you need to prioritize. 3 minutes of research/installation will save you a thousandfold in time and energy. it can even help with brain fog (most people don't realize how much mental energy ads actually steal)

"i like ads" my jaw is on the fucking floor. you chose to live in a sewer, yet you will never be a ninja nor a turtle. you do not have a warrior's heart.

"adblock exists for mobile"

"Adblock is free"

That doesn't sound real but okay.

Adblock DNS is easy to install! Works for all phones! It works on most ads, but not video or tumblr.

Settings → Network → Private DNS, paste in dns.adguard.com

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Can confirm, I use this method (alongside others) on android. for iOS the steps are different (and it may be easier to install the AdGuard DNS app instead)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the above will decrease the amount of ads you see system-wide. however: hands down the BEST ANDROID ADBLOCKING feature is the ability to install Firefox with uBlock Origin enabled.

Install Firefox -> Settings -> Extensions -> uBlock Origin

this only blocks browser ads, but HOLY SHIT does that matter if you try browsing websites over apps when possible. which you should bc it's awesome and gives you SO much more control. E.g. blocks youtube.com ads and you can play videos in the background. works with spotify.com too

Pro tip: toggle on 'Desktop site' to avoid mobile sites that are purposely designed to bully you into using the app. Desktop mode fixes a surprising number of problems

Note: for iOS users this isn't available bc Apple hates your guts, but there are other browser options with built-in adblocking, e.g. Firefox Focus, Brave

more characters with superpowers who look into the whole superhero thing and decide "hm no i do not want to participate in this actually"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

to be clear i'm not saying they turn to supervillainy. they just look at their superpower-based career options and decide to go in an unrelated direction. dental hygienist. supply chain management. HVAC technician in surprisingly high demand

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

some of them do superpower hobbies on the weekend, but a good portion of them are just "eh. my body could technically do it but this is not fun for me?" like it's literally just excercise. why spend your free time training for a marathon when you could be crafting

a lucky few have highly marketable powers which make for extremely well-paid gig work (standard teleporter hourly pay is insane), but it's not exactly a passion driven career. yeah speedsters can make bank working production lines but that gets repetitive real fast. also that shit is tiring. yeah the agricultural industry is paying you big bucks to control the weather during harvest season but you're going to have back spasms for months after.

[whotooklortan]

One time at my manufacturing job I got asked about what superpowers I would want and I concluded that the most passion driven power/job I could imagine was just knowing the precise location of all sharks. I would be unable to control them or communicate with them. But I am invaluable to conservation work, ocean photography, zoology, lifeguards, etc. I have no idea if I could or would want to profit from this, I would probably still have a 9-5, but I like to think of spending my spare time just answering texts about Greenland sharks and doing horrifying guest appearances on weather broadcasts.

AI is forcing me to make phone calls...

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

before the GenAI Plague, "chat with a representative" was an increasingly available (and useful!) customer service option. you could communicate by text! no waiting on the phone! no terrible hold music! you could do other shit while waiting for a reply! "customer service" sucks for everyone involved, but this was a much less sucky option!

now it's a bot on the other side. a dumbass bot. and i am successfully making phone calls out of spite. the only "useful" part left of "chat with us"? using it to demand a phone call from a human agent. at least i get to skip the hold music.

I wanted to make a gifset ... but nothing would do this scene justice.

anti-immigrant riots in Northern Ireland NOT aimed at the British. brother, you have bigger problems. hurts my heart to know there was some guy in Belfast looking in the mirror in the morning thinking “What should I set fire to cars and throw bricks at the police about? 800 years of British tyranny or a single Sudanese man who seems to be having a psychotic break stabbing a guy?” white supremacy is always embarrassing but it is extra embarrassing if you are a white person occupied by another European nation. white supremacist but not the supreme kind of white in your own country
