Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.

ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend

dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera

and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.

but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.

nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.

bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.

stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.

and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.

anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight

YESSS OP SPEAK LOUDER. I would also like to add that something phenomenal about Gravity Falls as a story is how much it's designed to grow with its audience. As a child, you watch the show from Dipper and Mabel's perspectives-- who are by all means, young children who understandably, like all children do, take the adults in their lives for granted. They look at Stanley and see their morally ambiguous uncle who probably sprang into the world as a gravelly old man. They're too young and the target audience is too young to understand the incredible odds Stanley struggled against to, not just survive, but remain a loving person when he had absolutely nobody on his side from the moment he stepped into adulthood. He's impulsive and self-destructive sure, but deep down, he's still driven by that innocent unconditional love he built with Ford, and it shapes his every action. Every junky knick knack he sold, every unlawful gimmick, every million dollar smile, every back pain, every sleepless night, was done for the sake of bringing his family together. The world hated Stanley Pines but that didn't stop him from mustering every ounce of strength he had to protect his brother, his kids, and their home. That dorito didn't stand a chance, frankly.

What the fuck is up with YouTube ads lately??? I specifically remember you'd always be able to skip in 5 seconds if it was longer than that. Why the hell am I getting "Skip in 35 seconds" "skip in 60 seconds" like bitch???? No????

anyways take heat waves seriously. heat strokes and heat exhaustion are real. drink water. wear sunscreen. stay covered or in shaded areas if you can. pay attention to your skin - if it’s super flushed and your face is redder than usual, get under some shade and cool down IMMEDIATELY. pay attention to kids and elders too.

Originally put this in the tags but I think it might be more useful as a reblog. Anyway short tips from someone who regularly deals with 100°F+ weather in the summer. I use these when the AC goes out or it's so hot that the max air setting still outputs warm air:

if you dont have blackout curtains, put tinfoil on your windows. you can use a little water on the glass to stick it on there like vinyl to reflect the sun back out. You don't need to measure it perfectly, just sticking kitchen foil over the glass is enough

take bowls of ice and set them around the room you're trying to keep the coolest. Ice set in front of a fan can also help.

dehumidifier. now.

if you have carpets or rugs on the floor that are removable consider rolling them up for a little while. hard floors can be cold and nice on feet.

cold wet bandanna around the forehead and if desperate: cold wet socks

Electronics Generate Heat. Maybe not a huge amount but if you have a gaming computer or laptop that outputs a lot of hot air, it will heat the room even if you think its too little or too slow to notice

drink water like your life depends on it because in some cases. it will.

you are more vunerable to heat if you take meds that are SSRIs. you need more water and more caution if you do.

No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.
