herdrafts I’ve been writing drafts for days, reading The Waves gave me the right amount of ideas to start writing my own novel. I’m experiencing something I’ve never ever thought I was capable of; I mean putting words on paper wasn’t easy at all for me, now I’m slowly improving and that’s a great accomplishment. I’ve also started reading Electra and Orestes’ plays by Euripides, although I still have to finish my cr, I’m gonna add two more books I’ve just bought; The Land where lemons grow by Helena Attlee and Summer and other essays by Albert Camus.

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

[void-milf]

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

[37womenwieldingknives]

YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

[afraidofamericans]

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

[queeranarchism]

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

[anarchopuppy]

Ooh I know this one!

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money

TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)

WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

@afraidofamericans

[mayflower-gal]

Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE

[ryanthedemiguy]

Ad Nauseum: only as an add-on for Firefox

TrackMeNot: only as an add-on for Firefox and Chrome

WhatCampaign: only as an add-on for Firefox and Chrome

Privacy Possum: only as an add-on for Firefox and Chrome

[ryanthedemiguy]

Are there any for mobile devices/browsers?

[pablexworld]

Firefox for Android supports extensions, unlike Chrome for Android. Enjoy.

Hi,

I’m peanut butter, I’m 20 and I’m studying economics and exploring the possibility of studying computer science or urban studies as well. I plan on going into data science, finance or business management. I am big fun of architecture, history and art as well. If your blog is focused on any of that, please let me know I’d be happy to follow!

Love,

Peanut Butter

if you only care about workaholics, teachers pets, socially hyperaware, people pleasers, millennials, and The Gifted with adhd you’re not doing it.

support the bad kids who get into trouble. adhders with comorbid ODD or conduct disorder. autistic adhders who miss social cues. support adhders with no exceptional talent. screeching little kids, the forgetful elderly with adhd. stereotypical, hyperactive, hyperfixated on squirrels.

the absence of a “special case” does not mean these people have or don’t need acceptance .

[stars-on-my-shoulder]

Your disability does not preclude you from participating in academia. You are not less academic because you have to learn differently, or in a way not considered “aesthetic.” Academia should be something you pursue for yourself, so don’t let other people make you feel less than.

Having ADHD is that your brain either feels like

And it can switch in a matter of seconds.

Edit: I can't believe my most popular post was a minute idea I had in a day where I was utterly depressed and like the left one.

[lightstudiess]

Latin American dark academia post because,yes.

Latin American Dark Academia things:

Pan dulce and coffee in the mornings while you read

Drinking horchata/Jamaica while studying on a hot day

Studying at the kitchen table while the spices from your mom’s cooking fills the air and your nostrils.

Salsa with every meal

Flower in braided up hair/flower crowns (bonus pts if it’s Frida Khalo style)

Reading Frida Khalo

Reading Juan Rulfo

Reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Flipping tortillas with your bare hands (it takes precision)

Music/radio on around the house all. the. time. and being able to concentrate despite the noise

Translating for your parents

Translating for other people in random public places

I spent a fraction of my life trying to hide my Latin heritage to try to “fit in” with my American peers. I’m glad I grew out of that phase because I truly love my culture.

***This is mostly Mexican themed because that is where my family is from, but I hope other Latin Americans can relate to some and are encouraged to add their own Latin American dark academia things!:)

In this post, I list 7 of my all-time favorite apps / chrome extensions that I use daily.  I hope I can help out some fellow uni students who are struggling.  This might help make studying less painful and a tiny tiny bit more enjoyable.

things i’ve heard college students say 

(Question: Do you think Paul Ryan would be a good president?) Paul Ryan? A guy with two first names? Fuck no.

*first day of physics lab* “Does anyone have any interesting facts to share?” “If you go to Olive Garden and you order a block of cheese in your salad, they actually give you a block of cheese. They don’t shred it or anything.”

Yeet yeet it’s time to eat

I’m deciding whether to write my paper on nuclear physics or revenge porn.

I’ll punch myself in the face and get cancer so I don’t have to go to class tomorrow

“I have three unknowns in my equation.” “That’s a sad fact of life.”

Do you think i’ll die in intermediate swimming

What’s the most painful part about being a human cannonball? Is it that you have a lighter up your ass or the impact after launch?

“What are you majoring in?” “Mindfuckery.”

I’m going to recycle my test the moment I get it because I’d rather save the planet than force the professor to read this waste of a paper

I hate my McFucking life

Can the sky stop pissing for one second

“Our professor keeps saying he worked at Neiman Marcus but I don’t even know what it is. What the fuck is Neiman Marcus.”

“What was the best thing before sliced bread?” “…canned bread?”

go get your uber ride to hell

*at 12 am* I’m going to fail. You know what I’m doing about it? Eating a cheese stick.

We are free men in the night! And women! And free people, for those who are neither! And attack helicopters! And like furries, I guess

*while stirring soft serve in the dining hall* I have to mix it well. I cannot have oreo bits in my ice cream. That is chaos, and I do not invite chaos into my life.

I would like to crabwalk my way through my problems
