i share my hulu password with my 12 year old brother and ol'capitalism comcast wants to have him beheaded for piracy

[pike-the-monstah]

I hope these people realize that by trying to replace their formerly diverse offerings with all original content (Netflix), creating multiple microservices so customers have to pay for multiple subscriptions in order to access the same content they used to get for free (everyone, but I’ve noticed Hulu doing some tiered subscription shit lately), and now working to make usability more difficult for, say, families who want to share an account, they’re taking away most of the features that made these services explode in popularity in the first place.

Like, sure, they want to increase profits, I get it, but if you try and save costs by taking away previous features of a product, then your potential customers are gonna be mad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ especially when there’s so many free versions online nowadays. A lot of what people pay the subscription fee for is ease of usability (both having a lot of content in one place with a pleasant UI that won’t give you viruses & that you can access on multiple devices, and also not having to use a fucking fingerprint to log in lol), and if they take that stuff away, I’d venture to guess many people will just stop paying for it altogether.

[britishbeardicism]

Not to mention on top of the lost customers due to this inane bullshit, the cost of implementing these strategies will be massive.

Honestly, they'd be much better off ignoring password sharing, and start investing that money into better programmes for their platforms.

THIS OFFICE HAD ITS BLINDS UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW

[officialsolluxcaptor]

i’m losing my mind. this is a high rise office building on the upper east side of manhattan. and the only piece of art on the wall in this office is a bikini clad anime girl with humongous bazookas that are bouncing out of sync. this can’t be real someone wake me up

[the-four-humors]

I know this print, it’s actually considered a fine art piece! It’s clearly based on Takashi Murakami’s live-sized statue ‘Hiropon’:

Which, yes, she’s skipping rope with milk that she’s lactating from her bazongas. It’s actually part of a set, the other one being titled ‘Lonesome Cowboy’:

Which features a Cloud look-alike lassoing with his cum. 

Murakami is well known for taking ‘low art’ subject matter (anime, hentai, penises) and placing them in ‘high art’ contexts. I actually saw Hiropon in personal with my own two eyes at the Denver Museum of Art back in 2009. A lot of what he does is satirical, and it’s honestly pretty funny to see pictures of his artwork in American museums, surrounded by confused white baby boomers. 

That said, without the context, it DEFINITELY slaps you in the face and makes you question what the fuck is going on. Had I not found out who he was in college, Hiropon would still haunt me as the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen in a museum. 

[officialsolluxcaptor]

god thank you for explaining this but also i’m still being slapped in the face as i type

One time I did “Summon Water” inside a guys lungs and the GM allowed it because he had been playing for years and never seen anyone do that

[indyexploits]

Me “I can raise the temperature of a space by 5 degrees (Fahrenheit) per success” DM “Okay.” Me “And that’s 6 successes, so 30 degrees…” DM “Okay…” Me “And ‘inside the human body’ is a space, right?” DM “…I don’t like where this is going.” Me “So I’m going to raise the temperature inside his body 30 degrees.” DM “Yeah, so he’s dead now. He was fine, and then went through all the stages of heat stroke in half a second before his body went ‘No thank you’ and just shut off to stop it from being so hot. Good job.”

i feel like tumblr would expose super heroes secret identities real fast with all its crazy ass jokes

tumblr does it as a meme then starts believing it, 4chan actually figures it out somehow with like gps photo sourcing and web archive photos or something stupid like that

If Europe is so much better than the US then why are people scrambling to get here both legally and illegally?

People are scrambling to get into both Europe and the US.

Get over yourselves.

God.

How he manages to be so charismatic, and simultaneously disgusting and intimidating is kinda incredible.

Top acting.

[beckette]

men weaponize art against women

[beckette]

notable examples of this include:

that one college guy who was going to play the piano on campus until his ex took him back

the game designer who tried to propose to his (now ex) girlfriend via the spider man video game

the song “hey there, delilah”. written abt a girl who was in a relationship w another man

any time a guy tries to use art to manipulate a woman into loving him and/or giving him what he wants, he’s wielding it as a weapon

[royce-kordem]

Wasn’t “Hey There, Delilah” a song written about a long-distance relationship?

[britishbeardicism]

Hey there Delilah was only written about the girl in the context that the guy met her at a party and liked her name and wrote a song.

He wasn't interested in her, he just liked the name.

That is LITERALLY it.

Y'all please, learn your pemdas (or bodmas or whatever you learned it as)

It's 16

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

*sigh*

Parentheses equation is 2+2, which is 4.

Now we multiply by 2 to get 4x2 which is 8

8 DIVIDED BY 8 is 1.

I have no fucking clue how you can get 16 out of this. I don’t think you’re bad at math, I think you just need glasses.

[sashibunbun]

Multiplication and division go left to right. It's P E M/D A/S LR on same level. Because broken down its parentheses 2+2=4 8×1/2=4 then 4×4 = 4.

[thespectacularspider-girl]

It’s 16.  Parenthesis, there’s no exponents, you do multiplication and division from left to right, and there is no addition outside of the parenthesis.  At this point you can break it down as:

(8/2)(2+2) = (4)(4) = 16.

Because the division and multiplication isn’t broken by addition/subtraction equations.

[britishbeardicism]

2(2+2) = 2 x (2+2) so yeah.

Parentheses, then Multiplication and Division going left to right would make it, as above, 16.
