hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

skygenders

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

skygenders

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

The only way to talk to these people.

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT

sometimes people think I am on Mad At Them Island, when in fact I am far more often paddling around in the waters of Slightly Annoyed With Their Recent Behavior Bay, or perhaps on the beautiful Peninsula of Get Well Soon But I Will Not Be Engaging With All Of That

A Discworld haiku:

An icy silence.

“Don’t. call. me. ‘Daddy’.”

“Yes, O Patrician.”

if you interacted with a tumblr post too late (like, 150+ years after it was posted) your account would be labeled as a [SNOOTH] and everyone would make fun of you and there was no way to get rid of your [SNOOTH] status

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.

When I was murdering randos based on various legally-protected statuses, I would never hear the end of it from the supposed “tolerant left”, but the Yahtzee serial killers? Wow, what a community.

When I was supporting politics which openly harm minority communities and make life worse for the most vulnerable, those minority communities wouldn’t shut up about it.

But those who were either ignorant of the effects of these politics and the policies and behavior which arise from them, openly supported these same politics, and/or were least likely to be vulnerable to these effects, and possibly who saw me as a useful pawn in their schemings, or even (like Hitler!) rarely made exceptions from their horrible politics for certain individuals - or who believed the propaganda and just somehow were too cultified /outright delusional / possibly even just that dumb to realize that the politics only pretended to be targeting only the “bad guys” - oh, you know, they were really nice. To me. At least to my face.

Also, I’m pretty sure not every white person is inherently racist?

I feel like that’s a fact generally known by the, you know,

non-racist community?

#people who can grasp at nuance?#maybe all white people are to some extent benefitted by the systemic racism and bias in the systems they are affected by #to some extent tho #taking intersectionality into account and all that #(to be clear - for me it’s a BIG extent. but I mean like in general)#(I’m doing juuuuust fine for the most part)#(and I still can see that systemic racism sucks)#(as do other such systems / -isms)#(because it’s really really obvious if you think about it at all - even or especially as someone who primarily benefits from the systems)#(and obviously it’s pretty sweet to not have systemic racism stacked against you)#(which is why I obviously want that for everybody)#(I’ve got enough privilege I’m happy to give some of it up to equalize the playing field)#(of course - these changes would probably not meaningfully negatively impact me - or even my human children if I chose to have any)#(Big Money are the main beneficiaries of this divide - it benefits them for us to believe we are each others’ enemies)#(or that we are necessarily competing for scarce resources)#(those resources aren’t scarce by necessity)#(they’re scarce because of choices that are being made by some)#(and while we are divided)#(we are letting them get away with it for a little longer)#that’s the point of racism #divided we fall #because divided we push each other over #and Big Money can laugh #and as heartless as that is - I can see why they might find it funny #because it’s dumb #it’s real real dumb #ultra counterproductive #speedrunning our own continued exploitation #bootlick% world champions #don’t believe the abuse tactics

#I think this is what OP was trying to say #they just framed it a bit differently #horrible racism #people who don’t know what useful idiots are but are definitely way too smart to be one #people who don’t understand systems #not sure why but I suddenly thought about Ben Shapiro for some reason #weird #the so-called intolerant yahtzee serial killers #maybe their white friends and family really were quite nice to them #maybe those people weren’t actually horrible racists at all #but they’re also not the people who are likely particularly affected by this #and so obviously it’s going to be easier for them to forgive you than the people your (former?) politics were flaying #why everyone mad at me for selling them out?#great if they recognize they were in the wrong in the past #very unfortunate if they are still so early in their cult deconstruction they can’t see why anyone would be mad #why would rando white people have a particular beef with OP anyway?#maybe they’re just glad to see them getting some sense finally #and maybe they have a bit more patience than those who got fucked over #also I don’t think basic store-brand white people can cast people out of the Latino community but I dunno

Just wait until Reddit user r/TylerLife hears this. His ex-girlfriend is going to be begging to get back with him, given his soon-to-be-newfound sexual prowess.
