My fridge is a constant reminder that true beauty is on the inside <3

[lokacinna-deactivated20200703]

you know, considering how many times rich people are mentioned as sinful in the Bible versus how many times homosexuals are mentioned as sinful in the Bible, it’s really funny how I’ve never seen entire Christian organizations go out of their way to criticize, boycott, or deny services to rich people… 

weird how that works, huh

bold of you to assume that christians have read the bible

Korean beauty standards

Can we please erase the idea that Korean beauty standards are a result of the influence of westernized beauty standards? Yes, we also have “impossible beauty standards” that are toxic and unhealthy. But that doesn’t mean it’s based on Eurocentric ideas of beauty. It’s so arrogant to assume that we all want to look like white people or care about Caucasian features or that the US/Europe have that much influence on what’s developing in our culture. The norm in Korea isn’t to get big butts, super tanned, or big lips the way it is in the US. Korean men also have very similar standards of attractiveness as women (men being feminine in Korea is increasingly common, as opposed to toxic masculinity being the big thing in the US). And to make the assumption that Korean beauty standards are derived from Western beauty standards can be actively harmful to Korean people who are trying to push back against these standards.

i’ve seen people say that ariel can’t be played by halle cuz it’s a danish tale and we should get mad at a white woman playing mulan, pocahontas, or tiana.

mulan literally had to go save china; her story is about her being chinese

pocahontas had her land invaded by colonizers and they literally call her and her tribe s*vages; her story is about her being native american

tiana is a black woman living in the 20s in the south surrounded by black culture (the food, the music, etc); her story is about her being black.

ariel’s story isn’t about her being danish. they don’t talk about her being danish, there’s no danish culture integrated into the plot, nothing; it’s just a danish tale.

y’all just don’t want a black woman with locs playing ariel. like stop being pussies and say that with your chest.

Bees.  Smart enough to push a ball, not smart enough to not be fooled by a stick masquerading as a bee.

Freeloader Comin’ through!

[moonlight-fox]

We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).

And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.

[bramblepatch]

Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.

Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker. 

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

And then just refreshed the page

since advertising usually fills me with irrational rage (especially toilet paper commercials) there’s no advantage to companies to getting the use of my eyeballs.
