The wrong side of the internet

the maps coined a new term to call themselves

P.E.A.R,aka  “pro-expression, anti-repression"  was a term coined by well known pedophile 4-lung stay safe y’all,and block these sick freaks

[ashlake]

theyve also been using the pear emoji along with the acronym to identify each other

[frottinq]

Because “MAP” was too blatant and lets you know what their real intentions are when you explain that acronym. This one, you have to actually delve into why they call it this. This is literally them trying to rebrand pedophilia a second time because the first time wasnt good enough.

“There is a copy of the NES game Golf in the firmware of every Switch system”

Me: Oh haha, what a weird thing, probably some remnant from the debugging process -

“Since that was a game that Satoru Iwata programmed himself, this could have been intended as a way of saying that Iwata is spiritually a part of every Switch and is watching over and protecting every system.”

Me:

[thisurlwasnttakenbutnowitis]

Oh my God, so hackers have found out the way to enable you to play the game. You know how?

On July 11th*, the date of Iwata’s passing, doing Iwata’s “directly to you” motion with the Joy-Cons on the home screen will play a sound clip of Iwata and launch the game.

(* Before you try this yourself, note that simply changing the date on your system will not work, as this runs off the Switch’s internal internet-synced clock, meaning that changing the date manually will only work if the system has never been connected to the internet)

I… I can’t…

[lunarhalo24]

It goes even further than that.

Firstly, opening the game like this person is in the video is only possible with a brand new unit on system version 1.0.0 that has never been connected to the Internet. Because of this, opening it is pretty hard to replicate, unless if you have a completely brand new Switch. So, even if the system’s internal date is on July 11, it still won’t open if the system version is up to date.

The thing is, it’s not supposed to be opened.

The hidden Golf game has been described as an omamori, which, in Japanese culture, is a charm usually bought at shrines that offers spiritual protection and good luck if you keep it close to you. Sometimes they’re made of cloth, and look like a tiny bag, which can contain a written prayer. People often tie them to something like a purse or a backpack, so that it’s always with them. Here are a bunch of different ones:

Omamori are not supposed to be opened, as doing so is said to remove its blessing.

Seeing as the hidden Golf game on the Switch is so difficult to run under normal circumstances, it’s probably not supposed to be opened in the first place. It’s likely meant to represent an omamori in Iwata’s honor. Its very fitting, because of how portable the Switch is, since people are likely to take it with them like they would with an omamori strapped to a purse or backpack.

[thisurlwasnttakenbutnowitis]

Hey, everyone. Since we’re now in July and this post is still making the rounds, I’m sure there are people who are going to want to try to activate the Golf game on their Switch on the 11th. So I wanted to provide an update to this:

All of the files of Golf in the Switch system were removed in an update back in late December.

As @lunarhalo24 helpfully pointed out, this inclusion of Golf in the Switch system was meant to be an omamori, a blessing from Iwata. And there’s another important cultural thing about omamori to note here:

An omamori’s blessing is only good until the end of the year, after which it expires and the omamori is traditionally disposed of in a sacred fire. So the files being deleted at the end of last year seems as though it was symbolic of the blessing’s time expiring.

So yes, there is now almost no way to actually access it. Because it was never meant to be accessed.

[diversegaminglists]

Reblogging because this is a really interesting way of combining tradition and technology in someone’s memory and as a good luck charm.

You can read more about the different kinds of omamori here.

Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to storm Area 51, right? Walked right into that Department of Defense ambush, same as us, and that Naruto runner over there.

Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we don’t want to give it to him, but we also don’t want to get gutted in a back alley. “Give him a fake number!” I hear you call, okay and then he says “okay let me call you real quick!” Because they are learning. “Give them your number and then block them!” Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you. So what do you do?

First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they don’t have real info on you.

Go forth and don’t get murdered, ladies!

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.

[pocosun]

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

Benadryl, when taken in high volume, causes hallucinations so vivid they are indistinguishable from reality. - weird, interesting & funny facts

[bloodyshxes]

SIGNAL BOOST the hallucinations of benadryl are known to take every fear and of yours and put it into a hallucination like monsters forming from objects, objects trying to grab you, some people have experienced suicide situations (like thinking a beloved one committed suicide), pretty much anything the far deep back of your mind is scared

THERE IS NO PLEASANT HIGH OFF OF BENADRYL and from personal experience I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Do not try it because its a cheap high, its a terrifying high. I don’t support any form of drug use but I know I can’t stop people so please just be safe!!!

[aninvisiblebed]

I accidentally (Yes, accidentally. Please be careful and keep track of your cold medicines when you’re sick.) took too much when I had, like, bronchitis and let me tell you there was nothing fun about that at all. At all. It felt like my skin was violently trying to shed and I couldn’t stop twitching. Also I saw big, dark shadow people coming out of every door or closet. Don’t do it.

[cpecod]

please for the love of god do not overdose on antihistamines especially benadryl because i will second the fact that your hallucinations will be completely indistinguishable from real life scenarios and it will fuck you up in the head in the worst type of way and it is beyond terrifying

[phoenixenix]

THIS IS A GIANT FUCKING RED FLAG FOR PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY. I TOOK THIS SHIT WHEN I HAD A SINUS INFECTION AND MY ANXIETY WAS SO BAD I COULDN’T HOLD A PENCIL I WAS SHAKING SO HARD. PLS SIGNAL BOOST THIS FOR PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY AS WELL

Tales from Beyond the Fringe: Strain-ger Things

An art collaboration with @datela-vodenit of our characters Taren and Kaun! ( I did the lineart and they did the coloring.)

Obviously took inspiration from the Tales Beyond the Fringe series, and we wanted to make our own and sorta dedication to a great mmo. I suppose the summary of this story is that draken and aurin must put down their faction alliances aside, at least long enough to survive barrage of strain attacks, one after the other. 

They obviously come out on top though.

The new Lord of the Flies movie looks really good.

[donald-trump-official]

I’m just gonna go ahead and bullet our presidents’ train of thought while writing these two tweets:

•all these plane crashes are caused by technology

•therefore, airplanes are too complex to fly

•for example, we no longer need pilots

•because planes are basically flown by MIT engineers

•these MIT pilot engineers do too much technology

•they are wasting their time because we need pilots to fly these airplanes

•the best ever pilots

•these pilots have to be so good they are geniuses

•geniuses like Albert Einstein

•who, by the way, was a horrible pilot

•but he could figure out all this technology

•just like all these world-class pilots we have

•pilots I want there to override this technology that is causing planes to drop out of the sky

[jerdle]

It actually makes sense. It boils down to this:

Planes have become too reliant on technology rather than the trained gut instincts of a good pilot.

Or even shorter: Fucking nerds.

[donald-trump-official]

Look I’m no aviation expert but I do know that:

•technological advances have allowed the aviation industry to be literally the safest form of travel on the planet. You are thousands of times more likely to die in a car crash than an airplane crash

•anytime a plane crash happens, the entire industry learns from the mistakes, and changes them so it doesn’t happen again. For 50+ years, accidents have provided necessary changes to engineering, procedures, flight controllers, and ever other aspect of the industry. These changes improve the safety standard of the industry and prevent the same accidents from happening again.

•As I write this, Boeing and the NTSB are evaluating the causes of the two most recent crashes, and after their investigation is complete they will update their training procedures, their engineering faults, and whatever else necessary to make sure this type of crash never happens again

•technology does not prevent flight. That’s literally not how flight works. Technology enables flight, but is not the reason a plane cannot fly. The sentence “airplanes are becoming too complex to fly” is utter nonsense

[straightouttanexus]

Let me scream into the void for a moment. MCAS is there to fix the 737 MAX's design flaws, not advance us into the next era of commercial aviation.

Not telling pilots about new automated systems kills people (Lion Air 610.)

Not giving pilots the training and capability to override these systems during the Machine Uprising kills people (MCAS activates without pilot input and has to be overridden by manual trim adjustments.)

These incidents are NOT the only ones that have been caused by faulty AOA (Angle-of-Attack) sensors and Boeing's failure to provide pilots with the information necessary to safely fly these aircraft. Can you imagine sitting on a plane for 15 terrifying minutes as your plane violently pitches itself up and down at extreme angles with the pilot powerless to do anything? Some people dont have to imagine it (I sure wish I could remember the flight that happened on.)
