There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
SUPPORT BELOW 50% OF THE THRESHOLD IN THESE COUNTRIES:
Bulgaria - 35% Croatia - 45% Cyprus - 12% (!!!!) Czechia - 47% Greece - 27% Italy - 41% Latvia - 43% Luxembourg - 20% Malta - 11% (!!!!) Romania - 48% Slovakia - 47% Slovenia - 38%
SEVEN countries out of 27 have met the threshold so far. Deadline is 31st July, 2025.
Decided I'm going to start a video series and call it "What the Fuck is FB Trying to Sell Me Today?" The algorithm is super confused by my sexuality being pan, it can't figure out how to market to me because of all the different groups I'm in, and people I'm friends with, and it can't decide what to make of me because of the reels I like.
For about 3 weeks, I was convinced that the algorithm had determined I was a cis gay man because of the items it tried to market me (I'm a cis female), but it would still pop up thirst trap lumberjack lesbian reels.
Today, it decides to switch it up and start marketing a 50/50 mix of male and female genitalia related products, switching back and forth erratically, like someone sitting on a particularly touchy remote.
Also, after watching a particularly funny reel, in which the speaker talks about getting a support hoe for those who don't have much sex experience but whose questions can't exactly be answered in a clinical setting(hilarious BTW), I was marketed a spray that helps you stick to stripper poles. The spray has a very unfortunately funny name, and I had to go to the website to figure out what it was even used for in the first place. I was glad I was wrong, but FB has me conditioned to expect the most filthy things, so to say I was expecting this product to do something much different is an understatement.
Anyway, I'll post again after I start to get videos up, but I think this is at least a mildly amusing venture.

There is a way of washing your body where you stand use just a damp wash cloth to clean yourself, and you don’t stand under water or in a bath. Do you call this a:
- top and tail
- pta/ pits tits ass
- dry bath
- other (put in tags pls)
- never heard of this
what do you call washing yourself with a damp cloth without actually getting in the shower/bath?
top and tail
PTA/pits tits ass
dry bath
other (explain in the tags?)
i've never heard of this/i don't have a name for this
Most awkward instances of this were at a primitive Girl Scout camp out of a cup and once from a sink in a state park as a kid after having gone tubing down the Itchnatucky River in Florida and we were going to be driving 14 hours home after so mom wanted us to not be covered in river water for the entire ride home.
I absolutely love Matt Bellassai. Been watching him since his Wine About it days. Now I have a mac and cheese recipe to try
i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

*crying and shaking* please reblog from me, please i beg of you
I'm actually surprised that this system allowed sharing. My stepmom got really sick with a mystery ailment, which, when finally was figured out over a year and a half later, was a rare bacterial infection that had eaten some of the bones in her spine because it was left to rage in her body so long.
She had a lot of sick and vacation days accumulated, as she'd been at her job over 20 years, and was allowed to roll them over to the next year if they weren't used, and since her job was a desk job, she didn't take a lot of time off.
As the sickness got worse, she took more and more days off and eventually burned up all the time she'd accrued over the time she'd worked there. Her coworkers, some of whom she'd worked with since the beginning, tried to donate a week of sick days or PTO each. There were many in the office and a few from the crew that did the meter readings that tried to donate time.
The powers that be said hell naw. Not unless you can convince everyone to donate. Since there were a few people who didn't want to, and should have had to, to be perfectly honest, it was not allowed.
My stepmom eventually got on disability, because they had to rebuild the upper part of her spine with a cadaver armbone so that she can still walk on her own, but it's hard for her to stand for long periods of time. Even that was an exercise in patience, since they tried to refuse her the disability the first time.
I had a discussion with my mom tonight about the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday and found out exactly how much audacity the local Chamber of Commerce has.
You see, my mom works for the town library, and the library, as a member of said organization, was asked to wait to provide free eclipse viewing glasses until the Chamber had the chance to sell some for a profit.
The asking price?
$50!!! Fifty fucking dollars!!!!
For the cardboard piece of shit glasses that you can buy at the Wal-Mart 4 pair for 5 bucks or get for free with an Eclipse slush at Sonic!
The fucking audacity!
We are in the path of totality here and will be in it for just under 4 minutes, so the price of everything has soared for the weekend, including hotel rooms at our 2 just barest of okeyest hotels, has skyrocketed.
The price on those hotel rooms?
Starts at $675 a night this weekend. Starts there!
That, and most of the surrounding area hotels are sold out at those prices. We are not metropolitan, just rural with a little bit of industrial mixed in. We should not at all be able to command that pricing.
One of the local churches wants fifty bucks to park in their parking lot to watch it, and a few other places around followed suit. Private residents want anywhere from ten to fifty dollars to park on their property.
The gas prices here are up because of a predicted peak in use. There's an Eclipse Festival at the fairgrounds this weekend, with bands playing all weekend, and the pricing on it seems to be the only reasonably priced thing in the entire racket.
Our entire city collectively lost their minds in a money grab over this eclipse thing.
Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!? Libraries literally saved my life as a child!
Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!
I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs)
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!
As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)
New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!
Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.
Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.
Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.
I love the library ☺
The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places
Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.
I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way
If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!
Support your libraries!
Read banned books!
People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!
As the child of a librarian, I grew up in the library. I was reading by the age of 2, and my mom ended up relenting and allowing me full access to the library early. Did I abuse that? Absolutely. In small towns, even librarians have opinions about appropriateness of books, especially for their own kids, but I was indeed signed off to have access to the entire library at 9, so as long as my mom didn't see me with it, I was gonna read it. I was, and still am, a sponge for knowledge.
This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people
and here’s a link that does not lead to a google drive full of tv shows movies + books and also does not contain a shortcut to the above
this is absolutely not a link to another google drive with shows + movies + audio books either nope no sir
@timetravellingcactus cause for some reason I’m not able to send this to you
the goog drive directory titled “the library” is transferring to a different platform soon so hustle on that one!
this absolutely isnt a google drive of the imdb top 250 movies
and this couldn’t possibly lead you to even more books!
these arent musical bootlegs… what do you mean?
And they absolutely arent up to date as of 2020 :) nope no sir
100% not ad0be after effects cc2019, photosh0p cc2018 AND cc2019, premiere pro cc2019, animate cc2020!
NOT a sp0tify premium apk AND NOT among us for pc!!!
ABSOLUTELY NOT A LIBRARY OF iTALIAN AND eNGLISH TTRPG MANUAL PDFs INCLUDING D&D, PATHFINDER AND OTHER SYSTEMS
and this ISN’T a folder with artbook pdfs, art softwares and brushes, etc. (lots of Italian stuff)
DONT share this
It would be such a shame if someone reblogged this. Whoops my fingers slipped
#Digital Library
Omg! This! 100× this! And that at 40 things will change and it will confuse the hell out of you. I went from a harbinger of doom migraine for the period to it moving to announcing my ovulation instead, and it was insane and unexpected and essentially overnight. I went from one month feeling like absolute disaster right before the period to the next month being surprised by my period because the harbinger was gone, other than the slight mood thing (and that first month it could easily be explained away by jet lag) and then it socking me a couple weeks later during ovulation. Discover that there is a such thing as Mittleschmertz. Like PMS but for ovulation, and some people with ovaries suffer with that. Apparently, my 40s are gonna be a whole new adventure in learning my body all over again.
Collection: I Search the Bookcase!
This 3-page collection of ideas for books on your in-game bookshelves should help you figure out what to say when one of your players goes to inspect the mad mage's books. Books are a great way to embed lore into your world and share it with your players. Additionally, some books may have been owned by magical creatures, or a wizard may have left a note or two in the margins, creating a whole new adventure for your players to chase after. Or maybe you'd rather make your own books? These tables will help you decide what it looks like, how it's written and what's so special about your books.
For better, full-page high quality imagery, take a look at the collection "I Search the Bookcase!" at the Homebrewery here!
>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
fastest reblog in the west
Yeppers. :)
reblogging for study later AND to spread the info.
Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I'm someone else's network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.
