30s, she/her. I am bi and I will defend pansexuals with my battleaxe. 😤 Watch out for hyperfixations both new and old to crop up!

[linguisticparadox]

Look idk what to tell you. I'm bisexual. I have ADHD. I obsess over stupid things. What's not to get.

its so sad that radfem just means transphobe and not like. this

[rubykgrant]

I have to double-check every blog name with “rad” or “radical”, and I HATE IT, because rad/radical were some of my favorite words! people who don’t respect trans men/women aren’t radical, they’re tragical!!!

[chivalfairy]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT HOMIE we gotta reclaim rad and radical as phrases only trans people can use forever now

Little life advice:

Everyone who says not to set your stove clock or microwave clock because you won't use them and don't look at them anyway is lying.

Set them.

Because sometimes, you will come come from a week away when no one was in your home, and see the stove and microwave clocks blinking and go, "Oh shit, the power went out while I was gone, even though it's clearly back, which means every single thing in my fridge and freezer might have gotten room temperature and refrozen, and will give me food poisoning."

And it will be the only indication whatsoever not to eat it.

Anyway, just got back from the grocery store, but at least I don't have botulism.

[pengychan]

I know this is a 'better safe than sorry' kind of scenario, but if you like me live in a place where power often goes off for a few minutes due to power grid failures in summer with all the A/C units going in the neighborhood, it's not going to help.

Put a glass full of water in the freezer. I use a shot glass to save space. Once the water is frozen, put a coin on top.

If when you're back the coin is under the ice, you know your shit has defrosted and should be thrown out.

Found the source of the infographic that explains how the results were obtained!

[alexseanchai]

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

something tells me Skunks Georg

we did it, we created furry gerrymandering

[linguisticparadox]

That's not gerrymandering though that's just straight up the popular vote

To quote the most memorable college guest speaker I ever had, "If you're waist deep in a sea of shit and you can't see shore, try to find a sandbar where its only up to your ankles".

[woosterz]

i like to imagine that, for jeeves, being mr. wooster’s gentleman is like having a beloved doll that you consider your best friend. you can pick out his outfits, take good care of him, and get him out of situations you put him in and he appreciates all of it. he’s just happy to be by your side :)

[maomango-doodle]

actual doll-sized Mr. Wooster

[penny-anna]

Many great would I lie to you bits but I think Lee Mack and the producers actively punking Rob and David by pretending Lee was invited to the royal wedding is perhaps the funniest thing they have ever done

[penny-anna]

The only thing that might top it is when Victoria Coren Mitchell was on and they had David say he sometimes moves her bookmarks in her books when he's angry with her, seemingly in a willful attempt to sabotage their relationship

[penny-anna]

the great thing about this is the way it takes advantage of the fact that David, due to being the kind of person that he is, still takes the game seriously even after playing it for over a decade so when he's given something like this he will commit even with his real actual wife sitting next to him getting visibly annoyed

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

[maddie-2022]

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

I was yapping to my wife about WHA, specifically Qifrey, and I sent her maybe two photos of him and I think that was a mistake

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

[stjohnstarling]

Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:

[sharas-bae]

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

[stjohnstarling]

Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.

[edupunkbitch]

This is legitimately brilliant. Bug burndown reports (the rate at which your software team can close bugs) is a major metric for most software houses.

It takes an extra step in our part, but this is part of what makes it effective. It's not one click, one reblog activism and it hits them where they care: their damn KPIs.

I’m sure this will get buried but for the sake of answering all your FAQs

- they’re Opawz pet specific dyes. Non toxic made specifically for dogs. Once they’re set and rinsed they can groom themselves normally, they pose no danger to her in any way, no fumes, there’s no bleach involved

- my dog is trained with cooperative care skills, the process is not stressful for her, she gets paid heavily for her cooperation and looks forwards to the opportunity to earn extra snacks with the grooming
