God-tier question

hang on I’m trying to see something

don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name

i keep loling thinking about how tumblr thinks

that somehow "growth" will lead to more money, unlike literally every single other website on planet earth that has thought this and immediately crashed and burned

that the ideal user is someone who is too stupid to use the current app and so scared of stimuli that a chronological timeline would be too intellectually taxing

that its somehow tumblr's fault if users see things they dont like on their own dash that they cultivated themselves by following specific people on purpose

[bohdank]

Growth leads to more money. That’s the nature of advertising businesses. You need more users to have more inventory to sell. Also, you need more users to be interesting to advertisers.

Users aren’t stupid, but we are all human. Revealed preference is often the complete opposite of the stated preference, and we have the data that shows that. Our goal is to optimize the experience not kill features because “tumblr staff just wants so”.

🚨STAFF ALERT🚨STAFF ALERT

DIRECTIVE: GET THEIR ASS

1. it literally does not. source: literally every social media website in existence makes no profit despite user growth. advertising is a dead end and youd have to be dumber than dogshit to think that it does anything

want more links about how it doesnt work? theres this great new resource called "google" you should try but i hear its been ruined by the type of advertising you think is so precious and useful to the online economy.

2. stop looking at numbers and start talking to actual humans you fucking idiots. youre like if the most hack writers took a stab at writing a new flavor of corporate lickspittle with CTE who lost their ability to recognize patterns.

"oooh but the numbers dont lie". i have an idea for you. what if you threw the def real and not worthless numbers in the garbage and did things human people asked for instead. do you think the number would go up???? hmm??? am i blowing your fucking mind with the idea of appealing to the VOCAL userbase that actually CREATES REASONS FOR PEOPLE TO EVEN USE THIS WEBSITE. do you think ppl like tumblr for its code lol. do you think ppl sign up bc the site's ads are good and you can make posts? or do they join bc there are funny ppl they know here who entertain them? what happens when those funny people get fed up and leave, dumbass? you could have a website that makes you cum hands free just by loading it and no one would use it unless their friends were on it.

you want money? ask us for it like fucking human beings instead of trying to covertly siphon it from us. give us fucking reasons to support you instead of slowly carving site functionality away like youre doing us a favor.

however if i were tumblr id cut costs by firing you for making such a god awful post on company time to the result of mass humiliation by someone who draws cartoons badly for a living

loser

e: check out this ad i was just served lol. im a 32 year old woman with no kids. defend this to me, dipshit. how is this making you money.

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like "hey sorry, I'm not mad at you and this is nobody's fault and I'm not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I'm not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence."

Which is sexier, a werewolf or a vampire?

Depends if you find it sexier to submit to the will of charismatic evil or to be overwhelmed by animalistic power. And that's not a decision I can make for you.

calling every gnc cis person you see an "egg waiting to crack" even as a joke is not cool or funny at all actually it is extremely invasive and weird and you are just reinventing gender roles but making it "progressive"

[iggykoopa666]

is it just me or is this is an extremely weird thing to say about a random stranger based on nothing but a snippet of an eavesdropped conversation

Listen, if you’re craving sugar to the point where it feels like a “drug addiction” (and even drug addiction is complex & widely misunderstood), then you’re too hungry. You’re too hungry!

The pleasurability of sugar and the reward that sugar creates in the brain is much more pronounced in what the literature calls “restrained eaters” than it is in intuitive eaters. Sugar is usually pleasurable for most people, but in non-restrained eaters its appeal will be highest at our hungriest and decrease significantly with satiety. Restrictive eaters don’t experience satiety, because they constantly maintain an energy deficit, and that’s why sugar feels like a “drug.” Dietary sugar is fast, efficient energy for a deprived body, and our smart bodies drive us to it powerfully for that reason, to rectify the energy deficit.

Dietary sugar is great. It’s not a threat. It doesn’t cause disease. It’s not a drug. It’s a healthy part of a pleasurable diet. But if it feels to you like you’re completely out of control around it because of the intensity of its pleasurability, you need to be eating more calories, period.

David Cronenberg Explains Himself

He says his latest film Crimes of the Future works on multiple levels. “But I really do think we’re kind of destroying the earth.”

To that point, when I was watching Crimes and noticing its themes about the evolution and transformation of the human body, I was wondering if you were engaging at all in ongoing conversations about the transgender movement.

Yeah, well, I observe it. I’m not really engaged with it directly. They’re taking that idea seriously. They’re saying, “Body is reality. I want to change my reality. That means I have to change my body.” And they’re being very brave and they’re investing a lot in these changes, especially these ones that are not reversible, which most of them aren’t. I say, go ahead. This is an artist giving their all to their art.
