NordVPN is a scam

First of all, a lot of their claims are straight-up lies - it is not at all a serious concern anymore that some hacker in a coffee shop could steal your data over public wifi. They’re just trying to scare you into paying them

VPNs are important, just not for the reasons they describe. They encrypt your data so your ISP can’t spy on it and the destination server can’t personally identify your IP - the problem is, paid VPNs just become a secondary ISP at that point, since they have access to all your traffic unencrypted on the other side, and they know your IP too. If you really want to be anonymous, just using Tor (which is free) makes it virtually impossible for any third party to know both what is being sent and who is sending it. It’s trusted by hackers worldwide!

There are some things VPNs can do that Tor can’t, though. Many sites are able to recognize Tor and block anyone using it, and torrenting is very stressful on the Tor network and generally considered an uncool move (on top of being pretty difficult to set up). I use Tor for most of my browsing, but when it’s blocked or acting up (or when I need to pirate something without my ISP finding out and suing me) I switch to Firefox with Riseup’s free VPN. It’s run by a well-known activist collective, so you know they’re not spying on your data

VPNs do cost money to run, though, and RiseupVPN is supported wholly by donations. So if you download it, or just if you want to further privacy and action online, please consider donating to keep it running

always remember that love will always come back to u. in a different form, different person, different hobby, different touch. but in any way, love will always come back.

“Franz Kafka, the story goes, encountered a little girl in the park where he went walking daily. She was crying. She had lost her doll and was desolate.

Kafka offered to help her look for the doll and arranged to meet her the next day at the same spot. Unable to find the doll he composed a letter from the doll and read it to her when they met.

“Please do not mourn me, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write you of my adventures.” This was the beginning of many letters. When he and the little girl met he read her from these carefully composed letters the imagined adventures of the beloved doll. The little girl was comforted.

When the meetings came to an end Kafka presented her with a doll. She obviously looked different from the original doll. An attached letter explained: “my travels have changed me… “

Many years later, the now grown girl found a letter stuffed into an unnoticed crevice in the cherished replacement doll. In summary it said: “every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.”

What are Omikuji?

御神籤 Omikuji are paper divination results by lot you can get at shrines or temples. There are secular omikuji such as on keychains or fortune cookies (which are originally Japanese) but these aren't really the same as they aren't prayed over or done in a religious context.

It also goes without saying that omikuji shouldn't be treated as anything more than a sort of secular, lighthearted love me love me not sort of game outside the context of shrines and temples. Priests and monks in Japan are always affiliated with a shrine or temple and no one else should be offering omikuji, especially not in the West.

The system and method depends, but the most common is you draw a number (often from a bunch of sticks) and that corresponds to a drawer with paper slips labeled with that number. The papers range in luckiness, and the range of unluckiness depends on the shrine too, though IMO shrines that eliminate the unluckiest result are damaging results.

Here is an illustration of the box and stick method.

The most common range is:

大吉　中吉　小吉　吉　凶　中凶　大凶

Daikichi, Luckiest, to daikyō, unluckiest.

Each slip usually has detailed sections for your fate in love, work etc. and sometimes lucky items, colors or a poem. Some come with omamori charms too. This means there are multiples of daikichi with different details and so on. The unique kinds of omikuji draw fans to visit different shrines. Generally, it is considered bad practice to draw an omikuji more than once at a time.

Anything less than a daikichi is tied onto a string near a tree on shrine/temple grounds (near the goshinboku, or sacred tree, in a Shinto shrine) to improve your fate, as your fate isn't fixed and unchangeable.

We have that in Buddhist temples too. They are called 求签 (Qiu qian) or 灵签(Ling qian).

Miniaturist Perfectly Recreates Historical Interiors at a Staggering 1:12 Scale

On his popular Instagram account, artist Chris Toledo shares ornate interiors and bathroom remodels. There is one distinct difference, however, between his handiwork and the type of thing you’d find on Pinterest. All of Toledo’s interiors are miniaturized at a 1:12 scale. If it weren’t for his hand cramming into the small spaces—or a full-sized toothbrush towering in the bathroom or a real head of garlic taking up half the kitchen—you’d never realize how tiny these places are; his details are just that impeccable.

Anyone who makes or ever made models from kits (raises hand) will appreciate the work involved in creating these from scratch…

Here’s his website and a Boredpanda article.

[NEWS] [Interview] “Malicious commenters are criminals”, said broadcaster Kim Heechul who came to the police station.

[Note: Heechul has asked for this article to be spread, so I am sharing it here. Heechul asked the media to not name him as ‘Super Junior’s Kim Heechul’ because he wants to treat this lawsuit as a personal and separate thing from the group and the company. He said he did it by himself.] 

“They made so many people cry,” he said. “I have no intention of taking good care of them. Even if the agreement is reached, the settlement money will be handed over to the lawyer, and I will not accept it." 

On the 21st, Kim Heechul filed a complaint with the police after collecting tens of thousands of malicious comments with his fans for three months. The charges applied to haters are defamation and insult, under the Information and Communication Network Act. 

Q: What are the malicious comments you submitted to the police? 

HC: It’s too much for words to convey. There are one-dimensional accusations of "want to kill” and “like an X,” and there are many sexual taunts. They make fun of their own terms that they don’t want to mention. Such as, the late President or the contents related to a female celebrity they are close to. In particular, it is too closely related to my acquaintance who has gone to heaven. 

Q: How many people are being sued? 

HC: [The lawyer] wrote down dozens of haters who had no choice but to respond legally. I collected tens of thousands of cases but didn’t have enough time to organize them. We’ll catch as many as we can, hundreds, thousands.

Q: What do you think about malicious comments? 

HC: There have always been a lot of malicious comments since I started being a celebrity. Because I’m a celebrity and a public figure, I just thought, ‘I’m going to live without looking at it, we should humbly accept freedom of expression.” But I felt it as I was going through bad things with my younger brothers. “I shouldn’t do this.” Recently, not only celebrities but also everyone else is suffering from malicious comments. The most infuriating moment was… it’s when I saw the comment "you won’t be able to sue me anyway.“ Comments poured on me as my close acquaintances went to heaven, but these malicious comments caught my eye. He seemed to think I wouldn’t be able to sue. Most celebrities can’t sue because of their image, and even if they sue, it seems like it’s because they are good-natured. “I’ll take good care of you anyway.” 

 Q: Did the malicious comments disappear after that?   

HC: I don’t know if they are secretly posting malicious comments, but they are not immediately visible. When the party finds all the malicious comments, the "mentality” really collapses. It’s the same as listening to "kim heechul, die” from 100 people a day. So I made a tip-off mail on April 22. Nearly 100,000 fans have sent them. At first, the legal team, who was checking the mail, tried not to show me malicious comments because I was afraid I would get hurt. 

The reason for saying “no good will”, the police investigator said too, is when one sees the perpetrator in person, he or she often takes good care of him or her. The perpetrator’s situation is pitiful. And celebrities sometimes take good care of their image. However, the reason why I said I had no leniency is for those who hesitated to file malicious comments. I’m being beaten, but I can’t take courage. Don’t worry about it. I hope you never take good care of it. 

The reaction of a fellow entertainer supports me a lot. IU & Kim Gayeon also gave me advice. Especially I remember the support of young junior entertainers. "We’re still rookies and we don’t know how to deal with it because we’re young,” he said. “I hope [Heechul] wins." 

Q: What do you want to say to the haters? 

HC: I don’t want to explain my situation to them 1 by 1. It’s not worth it. I want to see if I can do it at the police station, like tapping on the keyboard in front of the computer, you’ve made a lot of people suffer and cry so you’ll be punished that much.

Translated by heebunim  Original Article: Here 

ELF support Heechul throughout this process. We are proud of him for taking this action to protect himself, his loved ones, and the memory of his close friends who are no longer in this world.

LMAOOOOOO

[fernacular]

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

[fernacular]

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!
