> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

When people say that labubus are the beanie babies/troll dolls/furbies of 2025, I feel like perhaps they aren't considering is that in 1995 if you wanted a beanie baby you just went to the store and bought it and if the store was out you didn't buy five beanie babies trying to get the one you wanted.

Sure tumblr had the stupid infinite chocolate glitch, but at least it wasn't as real-world devastating as the people doing the Chase bank "infinite money glitch" this past weekend.

[sweaterkittensahoy]

If you hadn't heard, some numb nuts on tiktok taught people how to commit check fraud and then people recorded themselves doing it.

If you knowingly write a check you know you don't have the cash to cover, then take that cash out of the bank, that's fraud, kids. A federal fraud at that because banks are federal institutions.

And putting it on tiktok while you're doing it??? Well, that's evidence in the fraud.

[smegorl]

You wouldn't think this needs to be said but apparently it does so, to anybody who needs to hear this: if you think you discovered an "irl infinite money trick" no, you didn't, somebody else already thought of that and it is called Fraud. You will go to jail if you try it

the fact that richard sees/wants us to see judy poovey as sort of dumb, while also seeing/wanting us to see julian morrow as some revolutionary mind when they're having the same damn thoughts is crazy to me

like near the end of the first chapter when we hear some about the class discussion, one of the points julian discusses (in simple terms lol) is how people who tend to bottle things up and stay composed all the time end up causing greater amounts of destruction when they "lose control" than people who allow themselves to lose control on occasion, but he does it with many words and references

and richard is like "wow this is awesome how sick is this guy"

then at the beginning of chapter two, judy poovey is telling richard about the time henry beat the fuck out of spike romney and she says something about how when uptight people lose it they REALLY lose it, but in terms just as simple as those

and richard just goes "yeah, i guess"

which there for sure is something to be said about the way people use words and the difference that use of language has on the way people feel about certain concepts, but you know

[boywithskull]

Francis Abernathy is such a fantastic character to me, because he’s not outwardly violent like Charles, nor increasingly cold and self-serving like Henry, yet he is just as shallow. I often see the sentiment that his ending is so tragic and how he was forced into that unhappy, het marriage. As he expresses in his suicide letter, Francis ultimately succumbs to his own lack of moral strength and failure to act (“Forgive me for the things I did but mostly the ones I did not.”) Obviously I will acknowledge that the marriage situation was unfair — no one deserves to be ousted from their family for their sexuality. However, it really was not his only choice. Just as Richard comes to realise (and is quite disgusted by), Francis would rather remain trapped than have to get a job, provide for himself, and make his own life. It reminds me a lot of Julian’s ending, and how Richard says he could at least respect it if Julian had turned them in, since it would show some strength of character, but his running away only exposed how weak-willed he was all along. Perhaps Francis has a better moral compass than Henry, but his failure to use it renders him just as at fault for everything that happened. As always, Francis values his comfort over his happiness. That’s his fatal flaw.

Richard in secret history is so funny being like “Judy poovey is such a shallow vapid stupid druggie for doing coke in a Burger King parking lot. Unlike me, I’m intellectual and deep and mysterious and also doing coke in a Burger King parking lot”

[notsofriendlyfriendlyreminder]

bro. bro you are romantisizing the secret history. bro you are enamored with the greek class just like richard. bro you are ignoring the bad things and creating aesthetics based on a book telling a murder of a young man. brother.
