Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"

Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

I fucking love when people give in-universe reasons for omegaverse shenanigans being a relatively new phenomenon and not just a fact of life. And this is probably my favorite out of all of them. Insane choice, and I want to kiss the author sloppy style about it.

As we all know, the Spanish Flu caused the omegaverse. Iconic.

"if you forgot then it obviously wasn't important to you" is an ableist thing to say and i'm tired of pretending it's not

alliezweihander

I've forgotten *my own birthday* before. There are several years of my life just straight up missing. In the past I've forgotten silly little frivolous things like NAMES OF LOVED ONES or WHERE MY HOUSE IS. But obviously none of that was important. Fucking awful, ableist thing to say.

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

mysteryteacup

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.

This is why scientists study everything.

mikkeneko

Put this picture in your pocket, next time you get into an argument with someone about 'useless' scientific studies, ask them "Do you think that we should give funding to study the mating habits of endangered iguanas in the Sonoran desert, or should we be funding cures for alzheimer's and diabetes?" and then when they say "Of course we should be using that money to fund cures!" you can whip out this picture and say "trick question, it's the same thing"

Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

probablysomethingtm

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

probablysomethingtm

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

scariest thing is when you're a kid in a huge family run by women and then you go over to a house that's deeply patriarchal & misogynistic. i remember when i was 8 years old and i got invited over to my friend's house for a big birthday party with her entire extended family. after the enormous lunch that served over 30 people, i got called into the kitchen to do literally hundreds of dishes, alongside all the other little girls and women. not only were the boys our age all excused from the meal to go play, but all the grown men went to the living room to watch sports together and drink. i couldn't believe it. i asked why some of the grownups were watching TV but the girls had to clean up and all the women just laughed and laughed at me.

wizardarchetypes

as a teenager when i learned the word "sexist" and used it the older women balked at it and tried to convince me this arrangement was a good thing actually because women need space from men, and cleaning in the kitchen after parties is a sacred domain of safety. and i was like actually i think needing private safety from your own husbands, sons, and brothers sounds even worse. like do you understand you somehow made this even more troubling than it already was

wizardarchetypes

like i think it's fine if a bunch of sister-in-laws/wives want time together without their husbands & brothers to talk together in camaraderie. i'm not judging that. obviously. but dare i ask why the women's meetup could only take place while doing manual labor for a nearby room full of men

wizardarchetypes

it's also interesting how this ingrained rigid social structures in children bc i was mostly friends with boys at that age and in fact was at the birthday party of a friend who was a boy so i remember complaining to him at school that it was weird all the girls had to help clean up because i didn't know any of the other little girls so i felt really left out that i didn't get to hang out with my own friends for a chunk of the party and he and the other little boys were like "that's just the rules."

yeah growing up in the Appalachian bible belt I absolutely often saw this re-enforced by women.

mephistopheles

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

mephistopheles

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

mephistopheles

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

A few years ago, I was explaining to some non-Jewish friends why there are kosher rules specifically for milk. Not milk products, but just "milk".

"But it's just milk from a cow? Why would that be unkosher?" they asked.

"Well, it's simple but really disgusting. You see, the reason that kosher milk standards explicitly state that there needs to be a Jew present for every step of the process--from milking the cow to drinking the milk, ideally--is because of contamination fears."

"What kind of contamination fears?"

"The kind where Medieval Christians would milk pigs and try to sneak the sow's milk into cow's milk, just out of Jew-hating spite."

"..."

"Yeah. People would go to the trouble of milking a pig and wait for their chance to try to pour that milk into a bucket of cow's milk, just because they hated Jews so much that they wanted us to accidentally break kosher rules. So the kosher rules evolved because of that sort of environment of active spite."

In the last year, pretty much everyone who was involved in that conversation and who hasn't hopped onto the Jew-hating bandwagon themselves has admitted to me that at the time, they didn't believe it, not fully, and now they do.

Because, being blunt, that environment of active spite is in the process of returning after a seventy year absence.

So much of kashrut makes so much more load bearing sense when you consider a community having to survive but being unable to trust the authorities who process their food. If this didn't keep people alive over generations, it would've died out by now.

It's worth thinking about if we lose any of our safeguards over our food supply.

sighinastorm

How is it hard to believe, when every vegetarian has a story about people trying to sneak meat?

shofarsogood

With the FDA being what it is now (going down the toilet), I believe that we'll see a resurgence of food borne illnesses. We've already seen botulism in baby food, ffs. And since Jews follow incredibly strict laws, we're less likely to be affected. Not totally free, because we're obviously going to be affected by things like E. coli or Salmonella on produce. But we won't be affected by tainted meat and dairy as much.

And I think, unfortunately, this will further antisemitism. "Why aren't the Jews sick? They must be contaminating our food!"

Alberta, Canada, has already tried to pass a law banning halal and kosher school lunches. (So they're putting pork into all school lunches? I don't understand how they thought this would work.) It won't be long until someone tries to do that in the US, too.

Literally on the second to last paragraph, the black death was less (relatively) devastating to Jewish communities than christians because per their own laws, Jews had stricter standards of hygiene and bathed much more regularly

So naturally christians concluded it must be the Jews who called down the black death because what other reason could there be for them dying to it slightly less

a-s-fischer

When I see posts like this, I think it's important to say that we do not have good evidence that Jews died at lower rates of plague than Christians in the middle ages, and we know that Muslims had virtually identical hygene practices to Jews, and Muslim terretories were very hard hit by the plague.

Medieval Christians did not need Jews to be actually dying at lower rates of the plague to claim we were, and kill us over it. This is important to understand. Bigotry does not need evidence.

@short-wooloo blocked me when I sent this info over message, probably because they thought "who tf is this person?", an understandable reaponse. If I made them uncomfortable I would like to appologise, and will of course not persue any further contact.

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

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

"the bridge is literally finished but trump says he won’t let it open until Canada is nicer to him"

TBF that's also a lie; the real reason he isn't letting it open is that one of his Billionaire DonorFriends (Matthew Moroun) owns the Ambassador Bridge and is big mad that the new, publicly owned, Gordie Howe bridge means he won't have a complete monopoly over the commercial truck traffic across the border anymore. So even if Canada was nicer to him, Trump still wouldn't let it open (especially considering he was actively in favour of it until Moroun started complaining to him).

fuck you're right, I forgot that was the real reason. I remember now that him or one of his goons met with moroun and he started obstructing the bridge that same day

I love going trough the notes every time bc there’s always someone in the notes insisting we’re all mean and that you can just wear thick dish gloves over your fake nails as if I wouldn’t assume you’re going to Patrick Bateman my ass if you walked into the bedroom with claws and yellow rubber gloves
