Hi. I'm Julia, she/her. Art student, writing enthusiast and eternal pain in the ass. Here's some art, some shitposting and lots of things that made me laugh.

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

[mythicalwashrag]

[useful-info-haver]

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)

[nyxgoddessofcandles]

There's more to do actually, now

go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999

additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm

also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false

note! this will limit video to 1080p

and use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/ to kill WebP Fuck Google

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

This is a really fantastic return to form for this genre of post. In recent years there's been less and less effort put into this vital aspect of internet culture, it's nice to see a return to the truly artisanal work of the late 00s.

Within the context of the many horrors of modern life, there is little more satisfying than purchasing a new laptop, firing it up, and immediately wading in with fire and the sword to scour it of spyware, bloatware, and copilot. I have turned off so many settings. I have defied so many gate keeps.

Did you know that when you search 'install chrome' in Microsoft Edge these days, it whines like a little fuckboy that "I'm exactly like Chrome no really, I'm just uglier but I have character!"

The panopticon may be perpetual but we persevere. You might have my browsing data but never my soul.

Anyway my new computer arrived today. For the first time in a literal decade I have a hard drive big enough to hold all my personal files, programs, and pirated [redacted]. I am having a midwinter revel.

[tpwrtrmnky]

I'm so fascinated by people who seem to believe that analyzing media is somehow taking the joy out of it. Like. Do you not enjoy thinking? Does taking stuff apart and figuring out how it works not give you a hit of dopamine? And you get mad when you see people having fun in this way? What a sad, miserable way to engage with the world.

@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them

[miss-nerd-alert]

For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.

For Traitor: neck retraction exercise. While lying in bed with your head flat against the mattress, give yourself the biggest double chin you can. Repeat 10 times.

For Jackass: stop hiking your shoulders up to your ears. This is pretty much a stress thing, it’s human instinct to protect our neck when we’re under stress so that predators can’t get at it. Easiest way to do that is be elevating the shoulders, so. Periodically take not of where your shoulders are at.

Absolute Fuckwaffle: stretch out your chest. The rhomboids on the back work to keep our shoulder blades back, so when we’re hunched forward they are constantly straining to do their job. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as telling you to stand up straight, since our pectorals get chronically tight and prevent us from doing so. Step one: pectoral stretches. Hold for at least 20 seconds.

Asshole: Superman exercises. Like the rhomboids, the ESGs are straining against the slump. Stretching the chest will help them, too, but then you e got to strengthen your back. Do 20 of those per day.

[equalistmako]

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

[damianmcgintleman]

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

[equalistmako]

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too 

[prokopetz]

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

[snickerslizard]

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

[prokopetz]

Yes.

[magickspills]

I apologize to all my followers for this

[watfordwallflower]

Good grief… I’m sorry, but I can’t not reblog this…

DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN

[logan-exe]

Why is this on my dash?

[princeanxious]

…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.

[randomslasher]

You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance. 

[chooseyourmusehasmoved]

“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance” is an incredibly profound quote and I did NOT expect to get it from a Grinch x Tony the Tiger post

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

so i’ve decided to make this happen actually

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

CHAPTER 2 IS OUT

[kaillou66]

This is actually an amazing fic, I highly recommend :3

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

oh yeah, everyone’s actually super angry at how well-written it is

and my personal favorite: “I wish you all the best, but I do hope you one day suffer for your sins”

[exist101]

Omg, the fucking original post! I need this on my blog.

I'm not saying Capitalism works- that's not it, but for it to be its least toxic, it needs viable competition.

Every time a monopoly is created, the world becomes harder to live in.

You know, treating this seriously, people don't get what was wrong with the Soviet Union.

It wasn't the fucking Communism. Now, maybe Communism doesn't work. Maybe it inevitably leads to a failure, or eventually becomes capitalism in all but name. Maybe. We don't really know, because every economic failure in the Soviet Union could be attributed to two factors:

Economic Isolation: The USSR was blocked from the wealthiest parts of the world. Part of that was Soviet choices, but a big chunk was also the USA sabotaging them at every opportunity. The Soviet economy didn't have access to markets, couldn't grow industry effectively, and was unable to implement technological improvements.

Authoritarianism: This is the big one. The authoritarianism in the Soviet Union elevated incompetent toadies who didn't know anything about their jobs, and who implemented disastrous policies which ignored science in favor of ideology. People like Lysenko, or RFK jr. At the same time, it also forced out and punished people for not telling the leadership what they wanted to hear, so there was no chance to correct mistakes.

And the thing about these issues is, they're not unique to Communism. And they are just as disastrous in any economic system.

But people have been trained to fixate on "Communism", and thus have eagerly embraced the economic isolation and authoritarianism which were always the real problems.
