General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.
thats not true i dont think people would do that
Made an entire transcript of AndreW2002's Psychonetwork chat
Made this specifically to practice writing their dialogue for a fanfic I'm planning and also easy word searching. Couldn't find one online.
I have tried posting this dozens of times, am cutting this description short in hopes it works for once. Feel free to use the doc for whatever you want.
Have my own comments to add, but due to these technical difficulties ill add them in the reblogs
Things I noticed in the transcript:
Ignoring time skips and spam, SOUPBEGONE31 sent 132 messages, SIDIsquish was 109, Conzercheez was 96, xx_E-G-O_xx was 70, and feargeyt6774 was 32 (only 2 of these were actually written comments);
(this may be affected by my autocorrect, but) while most of the time apostrophes are omitted in favor of shortened messaging speech, Conzer, Ego and Soup do use apostrophes 7, 5 and 3 times respectively;
xx_E-G-O_xx took and sent 3 clips in total (one repeated), but Conzercheez also did it once;
Conzercheez is referred to as "he" by xx_E-G-O_xx once at the start (upon Conzer being banned and Soup calling it mod abuse: "he was spamming dude it ainât that deepâŠ");
feargeyt6774 is referred to as "he" by Conzercheez... however, it was specifically a spiteful throwback to the line mentioned above so might not be accurate to fear's gender presentation (upon Fear being banned for ten minutes and Ego questioning how excessive it was: "he was spamming dude it aint that deepâŠ");
SOUPBEGONE31 is referred to as "he" by SIDIsquish once (they were talking about a book Conzer didn't know and Soup mentioned the title: "you see he know it");
EDIT (thanks for the correction, hackerscammer): SIDIsquish is referred to as "they're" by SOUPBEGONE31 once (SIDI left for food during the first visit to the nether: "theyâre MISSING the SPEEDRUN")
No other pronouns for the Psychonetworks from what I've seen (I'll still be referring to everyone by they/them to be safe), everyone tends to refer to eachother by shortenings of their usernames, specifically soup, sidi, ego and conzer. fear never gets to be referred by the name fear as they barely speak enough to be referred to;
SIDIsquish does not celebrate when the speedrun is close to done. Sure, there's the ":(", but even feargeyt6774 sends a few :pog:'s and Sidi doesn't;
SIDIsquish, as Andre is convincing Assimilation to enter the clone machine through the boat, they say "what we boutta do??". The other Psychonetworks do not talk about any plans before. Plus a bit before Andre did a bit of parkour that caught Soup off-guard. This could kinda indicate that Andre has a will outside the Psychonetworks, including coming up with plans;
Collin is not acknowledged. Like, when he's being robbed by Andre the psychonetworks just... don't mention him at all? Soup even says "free resources". The most reaction they have is Conzer saying a "oh" while Andre takes the stuff and Collin screams "HEY" in chat, but even that could have been the conversation Conzer was having with Soup... Can they not see him? Or is he so meaningless to their programing they just automatically ignore him?

This is a spot from an italian estate agency (we are governed by the right-wing party)
The woman says "Ridiculous..."
If you want to spread it elsewhere, here's the official link
[Video Description: An ad with piano music over it all, showing an elderly woman in her home, knitting, when two younger men walk by her window, which catches her attention. She stares out her window at them as they kiss each other while walking, the old lady staring in disbelief. Cut to the old woman approaching a residence with a broom in hand, staring up at the second floor window where a small rainbow Pride flag is hanging. The old woman stares up at it and mutters "Ridiculo", before getting up on a ladder with her broom to remove the flag. Focus on the flag fluttering to the ground as church bells chime. The scene then cuts to the couple from before, approaching their home with grocery bags in hand before one stops and stares at the second floor, stopping his partner who then drops the groceries as he too stares up. It's then revealed that the small pride flag had been replaced with a gigantic, hand-knit pride flag. It then cuts back to the old woman's home, where a tin of rainbow-colored yarn sits on her table. The hands of the old woman are holding and fondly touching an old black and white photo of two young smiling women, leaning against each other. Cut to the old woman's face as she stares out with a look of happy pride on her face. At the end of the video, the name "Idealista" appears on screen, followed by "buon pride" along with a rainbow. End VD.]
One correction:
The old lady is not in her home. She is at work. She's meant to be what in Italian is called "la portinaia", aka a cross between a doorwoman and cleaner of a residential building. She's in her small "office" space, at the entrance of the building, from where she can survey the coming and goings of the inhabitants. It's a job that has mostly disappeared, but is culturally very clear to us as having the connotation of "potentially gossipy, one-million-percent judgmental woman who sees everything that goes on in the apartment complex, knows everyone and their secrets, and has Strong Opinionsâąïž".
In this case, thankfully, the Strong Opinionâąïž is that those two men are ridiculous with their teeny tiny flag for ants.
i call this one âusing tumblr as a person of colorâ

Organised crime? Nah girl I'm into disorganised crime. If a goon doesn't have ADHD they aren't getting hired
Cops can't stop us if they don't know what we're doing, and they can't find out if we have no idea either
Nah I'm safe it wouldn't happen twice

On it, boss! Gettin' this post to 10k, just like you said!
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
More from the notes:
I love this post

Iâm gonna propose âI guess you havenât read the silmarillion then :/â as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if itâs not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion
This is the polar opposite of this:
XKCD and Tumblr once again providing weapons I cannot use
So. For those of you who didn't pay attention to the details of the legal spat between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, allow me to give you some details of the finest legal comedy of a generation.
Krafton CEO looks at the hype surrounding Subnautica 2, goes over the contract between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, realizes he'll have to pay out bonuses and freaks out because shelling out those bonuses will make him look like a pushover.
CEO goes to his legal department, asks them to come up with a plan to weasel out of paying bonuses. Legal tells him the contract is iron-clad and to accept the loss.
CEO refuses to take the loss, asks ChatGPT for a plan. ChatGPT says the exact same thing the legal department did.
CEO demands a plan from ChatGPT, which dutifully spits out a plan at this point because clearly the CEO is a goddamn idiot.
CEO deletes the chat logs, failing to understand that 'delete' doesn't permanently remove things.
CEO follows plan, and is surprised when Unknown Worlds sues for breach of contract despite being told by both humans and an LLM that is exactly what would happen.
Court does not go well for Krafton's legal department. It comes out that after ignoring the sound legal advice of human beings, the CEO went to ChatGPT and asked for a plan. When asked for the logs by the court, Krafton's legal team states they were deleted, thus that it's simply herersay. Judge goes "Oh, that's okay, we'll have our IT folks recover them." Krafton's legal team is astounded that's even possible.
The chat logs are recovered. It comes out that even ChatGPT was in agreement with Krafton's legal department, and only spat out a plan after being asked a second time.
The judge, now thoroughly done with the stupidity of Krafton's CEO at this point, rules in favor of Unknown Worlds. Her ruling doesn't simply undo the scheme, but effectively leaves all control over Subnautica 2's development in the hands of Unknown Worlds, including the early access release date, reducing Krafton to just publishing out of contractual obligation. Krafton must also return all social media platforms for Unknown Worlds and Subnautica 2 to Unknown Worlds' control. Financial damages will be determined at a later date.
Krafton proceeds to violate the court order in less than 72 hours by trying to set an early access release date before returning Unknown Worlds' social media platforms.
Summary: In trying not to look like a pushover, Krafton's CEO now looks like a complete idiot who's going to have to fork over bonuses, plus court-mandated damages, plus whatever comes out of violating the court's orders. Krafton's legal department may as well come to court dressed as clowns after this. I suspect Unknown Worlds might buy the rights to Subnautica back after all this and either relegate Krafton to just publishing or find a different publisher for future games altogether.
btw, Steam is currently having an "ocean fest" where they showcase all the ocean themed games on the store
which they obviously decided to do by complete coincidence and didn't mean to say anything by this or anything đ

Breaking News: Number of Notes â Verification!
Youâll now notice that none of those shovelware mobile game ads never have a Black main character. Youâd think with so many of them this would happen incidentally or even occasionally, but youâd be wrong
Youâll now notice that almost every video game that has character customization will always have the base character be white and use that model for the cover and promos for the game.
Youâll now notice how Ancient Egyptian themed/coded characters 99% of the time are the lightest possible shade of brown.
Itâs imperative that while reading these you imagine me doing a waving hand gesture a lĂĄ Obi Wan Kenobi
Hey @agent47-official , that was really funny đ
Youâll now notice how few Black ppl there are in a galaxy far, far away

More reading to support this. Personal excerpts of concerning note even though the article is filled with them:
You can look more into the other researchers to see their studies obsessed with detransitioning to support their theory of ROGD.
Please be wary of every non-local study that comes your way, do adequate research into the intentions of it and the people conducting it, especially in today's climate of malicious fake studies gathering sensitive information. This is a malicious real study gathering information because they are 'concerned' with 'the rise' of... đ transgender people finding the words and confidence to describe their lived experiences.
This was genuinely what it was like growing up in New Agey circles btw, my mum's friends would come round like "So I went out to the woods this weekend and fasted and meditated and I had a vision of the Sacred Stag and all my guardian angels and I asked them how to find love and they said that I need to focus on my own healing first and stop repeating cycles of the past" and then the very next week it'd be like "So I'm back with James again" girl..... the Sacred Stag could not have been more clear....
everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegÀnger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.
I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.
