I just made a new sideblog and found out this setting is disabled by default.

This means that ALL new blogs will NOT have a [username].tumblr.com page. Not only that, but they will not have any themes besides the mobile-default.

As someone who really likes custom themes and Tumblr still having a fully customizable profile page, please turn this on!

You can make a website for your tumblr blog that is entirely your own!

Visiting your mutual’s tumblr pages will become much more fun if they do the same! I used to always associate blogs with the themes they had , but that’s sadly not possible anymore :(

If Tumblr themes die out, it will truly be an end of an era for the internet, and the future will hold only mobile-orientated, endless-scroll design devoid of personality.

Even if you don’t like themes, this is a move that almost destroys Tumblr’s origin as a blogging website and showcases the takeover of social-media-sameness.

Having your own URL and custom theme is fun! Try it today!!!

[tickfleato]

i feel like an important thing to mention is that having a custom theme isn’t just fun, there’s also utility to it

a few things you may or may not know about:

BLOG ARCHIVE!!! you can find your archive at [url].tumblr.com/archive, although a ton of custom theme templates have a link to it built in (usually called something like ‘past’). this makes it considerably easier to find things if your blog is full of junk like mine, and you can search tags in it as well!

actual, functional, looking at the tags on your blog instead of the weird out-of-order search function that you get from the dashboard version. again, really good for finding shit if you organize it properly. 

AAAAND something i think some people may not know about: the ability to look at things in chronological order (not reverse chronological, actual chronological). wanna find the oldest shit in a tag? check out [url].tumblr.com/tagged/[whatever]/chrono. 

also custom pages and etc. there is a ton of stuff you can do with themes. if you know html you can touch the skies you can do whatever the hell you want

AND LIKE. to be clear. you don’t have to customize your theme at all to get any of these! you can have the plain default situation and still check out your archive and tags and whatnot. picking out a theme can be a daunting task, as can customizing it, and it’s perfectly fine to enable this and then not do anything with it. Please do it. for your friends. for me

[amashelle]

You are not a failure because you don’t know enough to have an opinion on something.

The only shame is pretending you know it all and clinging to your uninformed opinion in the face of constructive feedback.

...I mean, I get the point here, and I agree with it... HOWEVER, in its most likely context (since I don't have a copy of 'Meditations' open at the moment), he's not talking about someone asking you "hey, what's your opinion on issue ABC", but RATHER your MIND forming an opinion ("this is good" or "this is bad") about a given situation or stimulus. Something he repeatedly talks about is how CIRCUMSTANCES or SENSATIONS merely "are", and then your mind brands them as "painful" or "pleasurable", which he considers undesirable; and that if you can refrain from thinking "I like this (and thus it will hurt if I can't have it)" or "I don't like this", then you'll avoid causing yourself unnecessary suffering.

Of course, there's also the chance that he means exactly how it's being used in this thread, since he ALSO speaks negatively about people who just talk on things which they know nothing about. It's something I'd need to check, and see if there's a more appropriate quote.

[gofancyninjaworld]

You finally prompted me to break open my copy of 'Meditations'. Perhaps I am a bad scholar, or I have a poor copy, but the quote does not appear in verse 52 of any of the books that have at least 52 verses.

Would the poster, @supreme-leader-stoat, be able to enlighten us a little on the context and source of this quote? Curious folk want to know. :)

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Idk, I just had that image saved

[gofancyninjaworld]

Well, death of the author doesn't get much more literal than a guy who's been dead 2000 years, so I'll take it as it reads. Thanks for checking! :)

*carries on not having an opinion on things of no direct concern to themselves*

[spacedorfindustries]

Judging by the page number and the font used indicating this is the 1964 Penguin translation, I'd say somewhere between Book 6 and Book 9. And there it is, verse 52 of Book 6, found on wikisource. (Wikisource uses the 1944 translation by one Arthur Spenser Loat Farquharson, however, possibly for copyright reasons) "52. It is possible to entertain no thought about this, and not to be troubled in spirit; for things of themselves are not so constituted as to create our judgements upon them."
