Zwölf Farben @zwoelffarben - Tumblr Blog

Whelp. Dashboard unfucker is no longer compatable with the most recent version of tumblr, nor is it maintained by its original author following carhammer-splosiongate.

This layout's fuckery makes my brain itch, and so as foretold: I'm leaving, and I won't be back until there's a new fix for this fuckery, because I don't like my brain itching.

Don't worry I have some post queued up as far into the future as a hundred years, though they do get sparser toward the end.

Thankfully, someone has already provided another dashboard unfucker fix, tho less robust.

For those curious and in need: It's a CSS that you put in Stylus or Stylish (posted about here) instead of a script that you run through tampermonkey. Being CSS instead of actual script, it's significantly more limited in what it can do and in how it can does it. But it makes the user interface useable again.

FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.

A coming of age story about Black kids who finally have power to fight back against systems designed against them.

"Well… okay," Alma says magnanimously. "I Guess I Can Cooperate, Just This Once."

Presidential Alerts, the girls have stopped fighting!

"Uh… that's not what you said a few hours ago," I remind her. "Well, don't listen to the Alma from a few hours ago, she was a stupid crazy bitch," Alma snaps, crossing her arms. "Current Alma is the only one who knows what's up." "See, I'm worried that future Alma might have a few objections about that assessment," I tell her. "Well, future Alma's a stupid crazy bitch too," Alma insists.

Oh no, Alma's a Karkat.

You can tell my personal life is really bad right now, because I just told Mothman I want to use his dremel on the kitchen cabinets to open them up, and normally when I float the idea of something like that there’s at least some token resistance because he knows it’s a ton of work and money we don’t have. Not to mention energy.

But no. He parsed the desperation in my tone and nodded like, sure thing, girlypop, just don’t hurt yourself.

Anyway. I think I’m going to dismantle my kitchen.

Aw, my orbital sander is dead. Rip.

Found an ant bait trap in the pantry that had been taped to the wall and painted over at some point. We've been in this house for twelve years this year, and I'm still finding landlord specials hidden away.

At least this time it wasn't a lead pipe concealed by a PVC pipe that had been cut to encase it.

Wait, are they hitting it off over their apparent hate for each other? I swear to the Goddess, if this stupid party ends up with two tsunderes, I'll be mad.

That's silly Hannah. Sela is obviously a yandere. It's told you so multiple times.

Ah, of course. He's right, I'm being stupid, getting paranoid and thinking about terrible situations for no good reason. Of course I trust him, I think to myself. He's my friend.

Oh, Hannah. I'm about to either feel real sorry for ya and upset at Sindri, or really neutral at ya and really sad for Sindri.

zwoelffarben

Oh Hannah, I'm real upset at Sindri right now.

I ran an Aliens rpg years back. But the players didn't KNOW it was an Aliens game until halfway through the first session.

They thought it was a sci-fi game but they also thought the monsters were going to be zombies.

Over a period of 2 hours they then proceeded to make EVERY Aliens movie cliche "mistake" known to man. Because at the time they all made sense.

The characters in a story don't know they're in a story or what kind of story it is.

They might think their in a romcom instead of a slasher movie. And if you're not in a slasher movie, why the fuck would you search through every closet in your house just because a cup mysteriously fell off a table in the dining room?

Characters in a murder mystery should have some fairly good clues they're in a murder mystery.

Though admittedly at least one character doesn't find out in time.

If we don’t microdose delusion we won’t make it through this reality babe….

So I remember reading about this study in grad school where they have a bunch of clinically depressed people and a bunch of non-clinically-depressed people a game that was partially chance and partially skill, and asked them to estimate how much control they had over the outcome.

The depressed people were far more accurate in estimating how much influence their actions had on the outcome of the game compared to their nondepressed counterparts, who consistently overestimated the effects of their own choices on their chances of winning.

Then I remember this other study (CW animal testing) where they put rats in a bucket of water that they couldn’t get out of, so they’d have to swim. There was a fairly consistent point at which the swimming rat would falter, and stop swimming, fated to drown.

Except that that’s when the researchers would pull the rat out of the bucket, give it a nice rest warmth and a meal.

When those SAME rats who had been rescued before were put in the same situation again, they swam much LONGER than they had before.

Why? The risk was the same either way- drowning. You’d have thought that the fear of drowning would keep them swimming to their maximum length no matter what.

The researchers conclusion was that the rescued rats had something they hadn’t had the first time- they had more hope. A miraculous rescue could come, and that let them swim for longer, just in case.

I think we do microdose delusion because sometimes that little overestimation of our chances, of our luck, keeps us swimming that little bit longer, just in case something good happens. And sometimes, that little margin really does make the difference.

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

-Terry Pratchett, Hogfather.

hey, don't just leave the quote there! the last line is what MAKES it!

Overcompensation

vvargamora

the AI bros are always trying to install in us this fear of falling behind and being abandoned by society if we won't start using AI, and let me just say - men have been telling me I'll "end up alone with seven cats if I don't give them a chance" for AGES. I can smell the barely hidden desperation underneath that axe body spray like a shark, and boy am I about to make you cry from frustration

Holy shit y'all.

I was knocking tab groups so hard, but these things are stupid useful.
