Welcome!

You can call me UFO for short if my username is too long.

This blog is mostly reblogs. I block bigots/trolls.

I feel like a lot of "How do I know I'm aromantic?" resources focus on never having been in a relationship (god I wish that were me), so here are some signs that you might be aromantic if you are in a relationship and considering it:

• Feels like a performance, or you are copying things you have seen in other relationships

• When people comment on or ask about your relationship, it makes you uncomfortable

• After having sex, the more intimate touches/cuddles do not feel as good

• Wanting more independence or time alone

• Thinking if your partner cheated on you, you wouldn't care

• Being scared that you might cheat despite having no desire to be with anyone else

• Words like "partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc" all feel wrong, and you don't like them being applied to you

• Not having a strong feeling of missing your partner like you're "supposed" to

• Questioning your sexuality/preferences despite being confident in who/what you're attracted to

• Feeling like you're lying if you appreciate gifts or affection from them, even if you really do appreciate it

• Saying "I love you" feels fine, but it holds the same weight when you say it to anyone else

• Not wanting to tell anyone about your feelings because you're afraid you will be misunderstood

Anyway, that's all I got. I hope it helps someone out there. I'm still struggling too, but I think we will all be okay! <3

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

Working on a presentation about the entire extended Madoka Magica universe for a presentation night and wanted to show some of my favorite slides i’ve made so far!

This thing is about 50-60 slides long btw.

I hope whichever neighbor is launching fireworks stops soon. My dog is shaking and I’m trying to comfort her.

Hinano and Emiri or other record girls

Kazumi / Michiru from manga

I honestly expected we would get some more record side characters (like Emiri and Hinano) and then Yachiyo’s doppel before getting any holy quintet doppels.

I expect we’ll also get a summer update soon with swimsuit Homura and Kyoko to fill out the quintet.

YouTube bug is eating up 7GB of ram and an ad blocker is the only way to solve it

(funny enough, a lot of people have been saying it's youtube forcing ads, but that's not the issue, nor is this intentional)

YouTube Bug Turns Browser Tabs Into RAM-Eating Monsters

YouTube bug causes browser tabs to consume 7GB+ RAM through infinite button layout loops, freezing systems across Firefox, Chrome, and Edge

“your YouTube tab just consumed 7GB of RAM and froze your entire browser.

That’s not user error or aging hardware—it’s YouTube’s latest interface bug turning routine video watching into system roulette.

Reports flooded Reddit and browser forums late last week as users watched their browsers transform into digital quicksand, with tabs becoming unresponsive and entire systems grinding to a halt.”

The main issue is the Like, Dislike, and Share buttons

“Developers tracking the issue through Mozilla’s Bugzilla pinpointed the problem to YouTube’s flexible menu container below each video.

The interface enters an endless identity crisis: it checks whether all buttons fit horizontally, hides the overflow, recalculates the available space, then shows them again—repeating this cycle thousands of times per second.

Think of it like someone obsessively rearranging furniture in a room that keeps changing size.”

All browsers are experiencing the same thing

Google has said nothing

Reports have said that a temporary fix is to use ublock origin and Add this filter: www(.)youtube(.)com###menu

This removes the buttons under the player but immediately stops the memory leak and freezing.

[ros-sauce]

Not to be the world's youngest boomer but I hate that everything's trying to be touchscreens now

[ros-sauce]

Washing machines and stoves and all that ought to have dials. It's not right for them to not have dials. Put them back they can't breathe

[curesncryptids]

Plus it makes them unusable if the screen breaks and they are always unusable for visually impaired or blind people

when is gamefreak gonna stop fuckin around and and make a pokemon game with a pokemon budget, ZA looks like shite with invis walls everywhere. The feckin wiiU had better open worlds on a fraction of the power

[curesncryptids]

At this point i blame the capitalist time crunch. The employees can’t make good Pokemon things anymore because they need to make as much profit as fast as possible. Some higher ups are building the smallest teams to do as much development as possible in as little time as possible. Any worker who wants to make it good can’t because their boss is forcing them to min max.
