[shymagnolia]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Reblogging to spread the luck and the good fortune

[lnaliazmcithilien]

every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me

just give me the top result please

[flootzavut]

Swear in your search request. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the most effective way I've found of it not doing the AI summary is just to add "fucking" go my search.

[aahsokaatano]

Holy shit

[flootzavut]

You're welcome! I can't claim credit to have come up with it, but very happy to spread it around 😄

About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.

It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.

So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.

So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.

Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.

The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.

... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.

Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.

Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.

And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

Checking these comments is like, wow I’ve really spent the last two years on TikTok

End credits scene #2 in Love and Thunder... let's talk about it (obviously spoilers below)

TW: Cancer, death

Valhalla is only for warriors who die during battle (as established in Sif's scene during dialouge that seemed to be just throwaway lines at the time). Jane didn't die until after the literal battle with Gorr was over.

In other words, Jane doesn't go to Valhalla for dying bravely during the battle with Gorr. Jane goes to Valhalla for dying bravely during her battle with cancer, and I just think that's a beautiful statement about people who are fighting severe, severe illnesses.

Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said: ‘Have a biscuit, Potter.’ ‘Have – what?’ 'Have a biscuit,’ she repeated impatiently, indicating a tartan tin lying on top of one of the piles of papers on her desk. 'And sit down.'” (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

McGonagall was the first one who strongly believed Harry Potter would become an Auror, so here she is in my series of sketches :)

I work for a moving company and we had to un-saran wrap a bunch of furniture on a job today (which is a pain in the butt, especially if you don't have a knife) and I couldn't help but think that saran wrap is the sort of thing Crowley would be very happy about and/or take credit for inventing

I’m 100% certain you’re right. It’s useful, but it’s a massive annoyance. Both of those are hallmarks in Crowley’s inventions, sometimes all at once!

[feuervogel]

It's a product of the US military, so definitely one of Crowley's.
