What are Reddit's favorite Blog Publishing Apps?

Fellow designer here - thanks for sharing your design I like how you've simplified a lot of the elements and included a LCS schedule but to be honest this feels more like a reskin with the website textures than a new design. I write this to push you to do better, come up with new layout and possibly new elements altogether like the LCS schedule. The sky is the limit when you're doing self work and I think it'd be a better exercise to approach it from a blank slate. Feel free to respond I'd be happy to brainstorm some ideas.

Here's some inspiration https://medium.com/p/2525bad49a5c

EDIT Nikki has started taking questions regarding her designs http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1zuy8f/redesigning_league_the_wireframes/

Post a link to the actual comic instead of reposting it on to imgur next time. Considering Erika makes comics for a living and depends on the income, it's pretty shitty to repost it on to another website instead of just posting the original.

That is Angie Griffin from a Christmas parody she did.

This is the video (it is about 20 seconds in).

Here is a tumblr of a lot of her stuff.

I work on creating genetic algorithms that can self improve and start random bitShare based companies around the world. The ones that do succeed get to transfer a bit of the funds to me, and to further promote the other companies, but mainly the investors get most of the profits.

Recently, one of the companies started exhibiting strange behaviour, spent a lot on seemingly wasteful purposes. Since it's already automated, we couldn't do a lot to change the course of action, but it freaking bought land in Nicaragua and opened up a server farm there. It's making money somehow, profiting, but there's not a single person that can investigate it further. Only communication with the company is via investing in it, or using it's services.

Anyway all this is a lie and I just wanted to write a scenario where the technological singularity would be unraveling, using present technology.

I'm an unsuccessful video game designer at the moment. :)

EDIT : To the mysterious benefactor who gilded my comment, know that I imagine you looking like the combine from Half-Life 2. In a good way. Thanks

EDIT 2: Everyone was highly supportive here, and I have to say that you guys kind of motivated me to publish a sci-fi lovecraftian short story which is here, for free and stuff: https://medium.com/@damjancvetkovdimitrov/an-introvert-god-b37225e90bbe

It has cool illustrations too. :)

When someone says "Your phone is more powerful than the computers NASA used to get to the moon" the right response is "Yeah, but your phone has you telling it what to do, and those computers had NASA."

Edit: Thanks for the gold. It brightened a kinda crappy day :D

Edit 2: More specifically, those computers had a contract with a team lead by Margaret Hamilton.

That word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

It is a lovely open-plan living space!

That was a thing and it's hilarious. They were convinced that since we didn't see a funeral she was just in a coma and survived and she was going to show up in the finale. Now they're furious

Worked with leather my whole life and the "grades" you've referenced are probably the biggest myth perpetrated on consumers in my industry. The tannery where a leather is made has much more to do with quality than "full grain or top grain"...and Genuine is used by some quality manufacturers (Red Wing Heritage is one) to describe really good "full grain leather" and you can also buy really junky full grain, if you're not careful.

Here's an in-depth post explaining why it's a myth

He's a tech genius, basically modified and cobbled together industrial scanners and things for his still images (which are also amazing) for the video he used a high speed camera he convinced someone to lend him.

Really good article about it all here.

> After months of research, he persuaded the German manufacturer Optronis to lend him one of its $16,000, high-performance industrial video cameras—used in crash tests and robotic-arm studies, and even for analyzing the hind hooves of show-jumping horses.

>Magyar now positioned himself inside the moving subway car, recording stationary commuters on the platform as train and camera rolled into the station. Again, the ghost of Einstein permeates these images, and again, he was warping time: Magyar shot the footage at 56 times normal speed, turning 12-second blurs into nearly 12-minute films of excruciating slowness.

>You say I need help. I’d normally agree with you but, after too many times I’ve had said help and yet fallen back into the same behaviors again, I don’t think I want it any more.

She is aware of her behaviors and yet can't stop. That's some real mental illness, and the fact that she's probably going to be let go, that's the scariest part. Melissa could be in real danger, the longer she does this, the more destructive she can become. I'm truly disgusted with the system today.

Edit: After reading more, she's straight up one scary stalker. Jesus christ.

>Melissa, I didn’t realise it was him. I’m sorry for that but not yet sorry for hurting you. Talk or suffer more from me.

Edit 2: I don't get it, she admitted she is stalking Melissa, why is nothing being done to her? ELI5 please

Edit 3: Melissa posted that she's reported it to tumblr and no action has been done so I thought maybe if we could report it too, bring some more attention to tumblr, they'll do something about it.

https://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/community - scroll down, click the link 'directly' in 'You can report violations of these guidelines to us directly.' (I'd paste the e-mail here but apparently they want your browser information for some reason)

Edit 4: We did it, Reddit! The account has been deleted. :)

Piece of shit. He didn't even understand survival rates. Dude was getting his news from a site hosted on WordPress.com. I can't believe how much they believe BS that they see on FaceBook. My mother tried to tell me that this random gynecologist with no virology training and no background in vaccine development was qualified to speak out against the vaccine because it "rewrites your DNA" simply because she saw it online. "How else would she be able to get this info online if it weren't true?!?!" That's seriously her justification.

I'm a web developer. I could literally put anything online if I wanted to. Speaking of.....I may have to eventually add my fucking parents to the subreddit.

One of those infamous storms on the Iroise Sea happened on 21 December 1989. A front of low pressure coming from Ireland brought gale force winds and huge waves of 20 to 30 metres high which crashed spectacularly against the lighthouse.

The waves smashed through the lower windows of the lighthouse, ripped the front door, flooded the tower and washed away the furniture.

About the same time, photographer Jean Guichard was in Lorient hiring a helicopter to take aerial pictures of the storm. Guichard wanted to fly over the Iroise Sea despite extremely dangerous flying conditions.

The helicopter made it to La Jument and hovered around for Guichard to take shots of the waves pounding the lighthouse. Inside the tower, Théodore Malgorn heard the helicopter and went downstairs to see what was going on.

At that very moment, a giant wave rose over the rear of the lighthouse and Guichard took his world-famous shot as the wave smashed against the tower. Théodore Malgorn, suddenly realising that a giant wave was about to engulf the structure, rushed back inside just in time to save his life. In an interview he said "If I had been a little further away from the door, I would not have made it back into the tower. And I would be dead today. You cannot play with the sea.

Be respectful and polite to them. Tell them "We need to make things run smoothly and quietly enough that there are no complaints to the administration about X, Y, or Z. You've lived here longer, you know more about what goes on than I do, so you tell me: what should we do so that we have a minimum of fuss, we don't make up a million rules, but we don't get any guff from the University about those issues? I've got some ideas, but you may have better ones, and I want to hear them."

Read this about being polite: https://medium.com/message/how-to-be-polite-9bf1e69e888c

Actually, among SJWs she's a successful and somewhat revered businesswoman.

She even managed to get a relatively sympathetic profile out of Elizabeth Spiers after deliberately attacking and slurring her when she thought there might be any criticism in it whatsoever, and managed to gaslight a large number of online journalists into questioning whether they even had the right to report on women without their express permission.

Of all the utterly toxic professional victims making hay off the outrage industry, she's among the very best at what she does.

This link and a lot of other resources support the idea that UAVs could greatly impact Africa.

Considering the state of the roads there (There was a post in /r/MapPorn that showed how bad it is in some places), it seems to really be a good idea.

I wish you good luck and if you start something, PM me, I'm really interested.

Otherkin is a weird concept that has a bit of popularity on Tumblr. The idea behind it is that the people who claim to be, say "wolfkin", "dragonkin" or whatever possess the souls of whichever animal (or even fictional character or god) and reside within human bodies. A typical otherkin poster might say they have sort of "phantom limb" sensations with perceived tails or wings or what have you.

Otherkin are controversial. The people that believe them tend to presume either that:

A) They really are (Marvel) Loki's soul in a human female's body.

B) They have dissociative identity disorder.

Now I'll admit I'm more on the second disposition, they're just doing this for fun, attention and to feel special in the infinite expanse of the internet where any one individual often has little to no worth. Just look at what "kintypes" they usually are. "Wolfkin", "Owlkin", "Centaurkin", no one is ever "snailkin" or "chickenkin". They always are something that's cool or special, which reeks of choice.

I think that's the gist of it.

I'm green, red is (was?) one of my good friends. Yellow one of her friends and I have no idea who blue is, but I like him. I hope it's fairly clear, it gets a bit messy towards the end.

This is the article she linked. Shockingly being told I am a vital part of the rape culture machine rubs me the wrong way.

Even old games come under attack in this fashion now and then. "Chess is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler acquirements, while at the same time it affords no benefit whatever to the body" - Scientific American, 1859

One should also add that this journalist also was/is a staunch conservative, writing for a conservative paper ("Die Welt"), and he had always defended the US and US police. He wrote "my child-like trust in US police has disappeared" (Mein kindliches Vertrauen in die US-Polizei ist dahin).

This is him: https://twitter.com/Potomaker

The translated story (he wrote it in German for the German paper), link found on his twitter: https://medium.com/@monberl/the-day-the-u-s-police-became-my-enemy-81dd63ddb669

Congrats US, you manage to antagonize even your very own and most loyal allies (I'm talking about individuals like that journalist, not about whole nations because I always find it overblown and meaningless to treat abstract entities like a "nation" like a person).

Understanding the Zoe Affidavit is a very in-depth look at the court order against Eron Gonji, specifically detailing the section where she attempted to justify the gag order. If you read through it, I think a lot of people will come to the conclusion that LW hardly justified anything in her statements.

That being said, I've never seen OP's image before. I laughed at the "They also provided Internet addresses that link to web sites that contain nude photographs of the victim" statement because there's a MegaUpload of her nude images from when she was a softcore pornographic model, but the statement by itself would lead a lot of people to believing that it's revenge porn.

Tip: Things going up your butt are the bane of anal sphincters. You gotta relax yourself first.

After that, you're going to feel - 'uh, okay'.. Then after that, you're going 'I feel like I'm going to poop but aren't', which is perfectly normal.

Tip 2: Add lots of lube and make the uh, 'penetrations' faster. My method of choice is make the thing move in small, but really fast strokes.

That's the 'feel good' part.

Tip 3 (if you're a guy): Work a way to make the 'penetrator' press against the part which is nearest the prostate gland. Find the position that is most comfortable, then go to tip 2. This is the part that will make you go 'aaahhhh!'.

EDIT : NSFW This is the 'aaahh!' that I'm talking about(guy using a vibrating butt plug for the first time) NSFW!

EDIT2: 😕 made some changes[.](#s "reddit, where a question about farts lead to a discussion about capitalism")

> Volunteering and tourism need not be mutually exclusive. I just hate when people depict a trip as being the former when in reality it's almost entirely the latter.

The reality though is that the volunteer work of these people is often a sham. I'm not speaking from personal experience, but a while ago there was a redditor who really laid into this, explaining how the 'volunteers' would build walls during the day, then at night actual construction workers quickly tear down their shoddy work and put a real wall in its place, just to create the illusion that the 'volunteers' were contributing.

His/her point was that unless if you've got actual skills to contribute (doctor, teacher, engineer) and stay there for an extended period (half a year or more) you'd help way more if you just stayed home and wired the money over. Otherwise you're really just a tourist in a special "feel good about yourself by helping the poor and destitute"-amusement ride.

Though I guess if the people there are making money of it, it's still helping the locals.

EDIT:

It took some searching but on request I found the links I was referring to:

The problem with little white girls and boys, why I stopped being a voluntourist

Reddit thread

actually, fuck that. i just went back and read through ALL their policies, just in case, and they clearly have one against impersonation.

Confusion or Impersonation. Don't do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don't impersonate anyone. While you're free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can't pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch.

https://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/community

of note, they likewise have one against graphic sexual content.

keep fighting this. this blog violates at least three of their community guidelines.

Here you can see SJWs successfully convincing coders to drop master/slave terminology, switching instead to primary/replica. It all goes downhill after this comment, which most people seem to agree with:

>This is an opportunity for Drupal to promote inclusiveness, to be a part of a charge that demonstrates that amongst the plethora of stories about tech discrimination, we listen, and we react, and we try to change to make everybody feel welcome.

Google Scholar seems to be mostly driven by the passion of one man.

I, for one, am very grateful. Google Scholar is a huge help in my work, and I remember the awful database interfaces we had to use before Scholar. And I don't really have any problems with the design. It is functional, and doesn't get in the way. That is all I ask.

There is one small place on the web, for young people who have realized they're attracted to children. As for older folks, I dunno. It's a sad situation to be in.

He obviously has a point when he says that someone who's talking dirty can reasonably be interpreted as giving consent. However, he misses the mark on several other points.

1: Rape by a stranger in an alleyway is an unusual form of rape, and not typical for "real rape". It's real rape even if you invite someone in, and even if you at the moment convince yourself that you weren't raped even though you said "No", because you're shocked and in denial. It's perfectly possible to be raped but not realize it until the next morning.

2: That men despise rapists is actually one of the factors that can work AGAINST rape survivors being taken seriously. Because everyone "knows" that rapists are horrible monsters, if one of your buddies gets accused of rape, the supposed victim must obviously be a lying bitch, because you know your buddy isn't a grotesque monster who lurks in bushes or alleyways.

OP, I love you. This is parallax, and it's really just gorgeous.

Anyone want a tutorial on how to do this? Thinking of writing one.

Edit: Here is the tutorial! — https://medium.com/@hamstu/recreating-the-firewatch-parallax-effect-213694d42f4e

For those wondering why, here's an excerpt from a comparison article:

> In 1993 the Germans made a movie about the 1942 Battle of Stalingrad—a bloody turning point in the vast, apocalyptic German invasion of the Soviet Union. The film is called, simply, Stalingrad. > > In 2013 the Russians also made a movie about Stalingrad and also called it, well, Stalingrad. > > One of the two flicks is an anti-war masterpiece that boldly inverts the tropes of war movies and, in doing so, captures the chilly, Hellish reality of one of history’s most awful armed clashes. > > The other is a silly, melodramatic celebration of war—and shot in shitty 3D, no less. > > The German Stalingrad is the good one. The Russian version is awful—and by all accounts way more successful at the box office.

The case for dark matter being real is actually very strong.

I know nobody who has made the case for dark matter being real better than Ethan Siegel. Give it a read.

(PS: I think this is a fair question, and I think it is unfair to downvote objections instead of replying)

Complete horseshit...I have been maintaining an unbiased election blog mocking Nate Plastic and boys.

No, she hasn't, and she doesn't belong anywhere NEAR an actual school curriculum.

This is the problem. Sarkeesian presents her work as academic, but it fails miserably to meet those standards, and yet because she's on the "right" side and knows the "right" people, she's regarded as an expert and given inroads to places where she has absolutely no business being.

I fear for the future if people like Anita Sarkeesian are allowed to inform the educations of young people.

Yes it is - in fact, it's Sanzy Fresh, a version of him from one of the 50,000 tumblr blogs that popped up after the game's release. Which means that someone at this school knows not just Undertale but also specific Undertale AU fanblogs

Basically I'm cringing and impressed at the same time

Yeah, and yet they ~~can't~~ wont spend $300 for a piece of fiber, and $10,000 for a router to upgrade the network that resides in the same fucking building so that Netflix streams properly for thousands of users.

Reddit link from a day ago

Reported to Wordpress.com who are hosting this filth.

This violates your terms of service in regard to "Illegal content and conduct" by inciting people to commit rape, assault and other crimes. > >This content also violates your rules on "Directly threatening material" in that readers are urged to commit violence which any reasonable person would consider constitutes "direct and realistic threats of violence" against women and children. > >I urge you to remove this content.

Bill Gates: "There’s a lot that Bitcoin or Ripple and variants can do to make moving money between countries easier and getting fees down pretty dramatically. But Bitcoin won’t be the dominant system. When you talk about a domestic economy, [you must have] the idea of attributed transactions, where if you sent it to the wrong person you can actually get the transaction reversed. [And a traditional system] doesn’t have this huge fluctuation where the value of your account is going up and down by a factor of two. We need things that draw on the revolution of Bitcoin, but Bitcoin alone is not good enough."

When he retired he invited everyone to follow his successor @TheRealTKTech. Turns out that guy is a big fat crook who stole thousands of dollars from @Evleaks, a man with multiple sclerosis.

Yup.

To answer your question, Evan probably needs the money that was taken from him.

i dont expect anything from that sub. i know reddit's demos. its just interesting to watch appropriation work in real time. you dont see that kind of voyeuristic fascination work the other way around.

this is a fantastic article on black twitter and the state of black comedy in the social media age. highly recommend

That article is pretty interesting, though it's pretty crazy to realize that it took someone 6 months to track down 2 malicious users from that data.

Also reading the response article, its funny that Reddit uses at least a few of those methods.

I used this guy's advice to wake up earlier using my computer's login password. About two weeks into my password change I started getting up between 5-5:30 every morning. I am not a morning person so my wife was shocked...SHOCKED I tell you. Also, this was accomplished with no alarm clock. I just naturally woke up. Kind of crazy really.

I used the password for a month before changing it to something else. It worked for about 4 months and stopped working after some holiday travel and the flu threw a wrench into the works. I'm starting it again today. I LOVED waking up between 5-5:30 every morning and getting a couple hours of writing in before my 2-year-old woke up.

OP, you should really read "Don't Go to Art School" by Noah Bradley before you take the plunge.

I was once like you. I had a dream to be an illustrator but decided to go with the more lucrative route of nursing. I'M SO GLAD I DID. My artist friends had a lot more fun than I did in college but now they are living paycheck to paycheck bagging groceries and stocking shelves. They are just one car accident or broken arm or appendicitis or unplanned pregnancy away from screwing their lives over.

I work 12-hour shifts 3 days a week and have the rest of the week to do whatever I want, including using the internet to teach myself art for free while everyone else is in massive debt for it. Saving money is a cinch and I have plans to travel in a few months. Sometimes I schedule myself to have 5 or 6 days off without needing to use any paid time off at all. It's like I'm having mini-vacations from my job all the time and it's amazing.

One thing that artists don't realize is that you are essentially running a small business. A lot of art graduates think that they can get by with having a strong portfolio but that is only half of the battle. Do you have any business acumen? The ones who have a better chance at being successful artists are the ones who know how to pitch their skills and sell themselves and manage their resources. It's naive to think that work will just come your way just because you can "draw good." You need an entrepreneurial spirit to actually take your career off the ground as an artist.

I've reported her to tumblr. Maybe they'll do something about the harrassment.

Her tumblr is given in the article, https://cchristinefair.tumblr.com/

Where to contact tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/abuse

As clever as this is, I think your basic objection -- that they "copied' your content without permission -- is totally off base. They had no legal or ethical obligation to ask permission. Like Twitter and other UGC services, Tumblr gets a broad nonexclusive content license from you for anything you post on Tumblr, and it also gets from you the right to give that license (sublicense) to third parties who develop services based on the content. See paragraph 6 here:

https://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/terms-of-service

Use of your content by third parties in online services is governed by the Developer API terms of use, whether or not the third party is actual developing anything or building an API:

https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api_agreement

As you can see, pretty much anyone out there in the media has broad rights to display what you put on Tumblr so long as they follow the terms of the API agreement, because you gave those rights to Tumblr and you gave Tumblr the rights to give others those rights.

Also, in-line linking without permission is totally standard on the internet. Notice how every news site anywhere embeds youtube videos and tweets all over the place? Yeah, maybe sometimes they ask, but they don't have to. If you don't want your stuff linked to, don't put it online.

Also, if you are embedding someone's content, obviously check back for dickbutt, because that's the price of showing content you don't control.

Another example from yesterday. Car in Lugansk didn't stop at a separatist roadblock and was shot at. The driver was killed, the passenger -- in coma, two passerby women were injured. NTV and Russian press reported that they were soldiers from the Right Sector, who tried to break through the roadblock, killed two women running over them, and only then were shot by "people's militia". People checked that story -- turns out the killed guy actually supported separatists, and didn't stop at the roadblock just because he was drunk. NTV is not a news source, it's just pure propaganda.

I'm assuming this is on tumblr? It's become a bit of an epidemic over there. This kind of assholery just kind of keeps turning up, unfortunately - pretty much every identity under the acronym gets hit with it atvarious points.

The majority of people like that aren't going to listen to reason or common sense, unfortunately. The best thing you can do is what you're doing already - avoid them. Use the block function very liberally, and you can get things like tumblr savior that will automatically hide any posts with certain words/phrases in. If you haven't turned anonymous messages off, do it - a lot of them are cowards (as many bullies are) and won't send the horrible stuff if they can't do it anonymously. (If this isn't on tumblr, see if there are similar blocking opportunities available.) You could also consider moving to a new blog if that's possible, and being careful to keep stuff out of tags they might be going through.

Things like death threats you can report to tumblr (if you're on a different site, they probably have a similar policy and reporting process).

> Like if they can predict if someone is thinking about suicide, they have to show all those suicide help lines and various anti-suicide posts, etc.

I believe this is done by a number of other social networks / websites aswell, Google currently links to the Samaritans, and Tumblr has it's own little PSA. Although they don't try and predict as much as simply react to certain searches that way.

I'm sure there's others aswell; but I think it's a reasonable thing. I think arguments that take it further than such warnings start to make me uncomfortable on a number of levels though, and it feels a little like a band-aid over a wound.

I just genuinely wouldn't trust facebook as far as I could throw them. Deleting my account was the best thing I've done in years.

Edit: I should have said at first; those links do include just searches for 'suicide', just in case you're searching on any monitored networks.

Avoid the page in the link. Read the post at it's original source: https://medium.com/p/ba5f3fcce103

I tried to read the article in the title link, but a blinking Andrew Maguire on the right side of the page is the most distracting thing I have seen for weeks. I really hate websites that require the user to push a third of the window off-screen just to read the content (re-sizing the page doesn't help).

If you think Breitbart might be biased (and it might be), here's what Elizabeth Spiers (founder of Gawker.com), had to say about her - https://medium.com/matter/speaking-up-every-fucking-time-a61a24aa7629

> The last time I heard directly from Shanley Kane, it was by email.

> “Leave me the fuck alone and don’t ever contact me again,” she wrote, before launching into a two-day Twitter barrage demanding that I stop harassing her, her friends, and her family, and calling me a stalker. It might have been fair, or at least accurate, if I were doing any of the above.

YESSSSS! He was so awkward and sexy at the same time, but good lord season 2 sealed the fucking deal for me! Fuckkkkk...

Sorry, no there wasn't. It was photoshopped - the three proofs he posted across the posts went from 6 inches to 8 inches to 10 inches. It would have been very easy for him to post video proof but he refused to.

He was also known for being very good at photoshop. He was first posting on a Tumblr blog about photo manipulation. Seen here

And come on, some of the shit he said: One of his stories had him "Fucking two girls while two guys fucked him in the ass while he was sucking a dick and licking a vagina."

The dude was just building publicity for a book he wanted to sell.

> Of course since neither Netflix or Comcast will allow anybody to see this data, people (and analysts) generally go with who they trust more in the equation and speculate accordingly.

Neither of them may be releasing their data but a network is a network and, it turns out, these things can be measured independently.

So really it's a matter of Comcast's word vs independent, verifiable data.

I don't think you can ever fix journalism. This is not a problem in gaming specifically, but in the tech industry as a whole.

The best we can do is making the average reader aware of this, so hopefully they're going to switch to better sources

Yeah. You know what actual pedophiles who want help do? They seek help. They try to stop viewing child porn.

Having child porn laying around does not help them in any way.

Interesting read on this.

Can someone explain to me what the fuck tumblr's deal is with this show? And why they get pandered to so much? I've never been on tumblr but I decided to take a quick look and the results for just searching "arrow" were terrifying, and I quote: >"Honestly, I don’t think Felicity gets enough credit for being the true lynchpin of the Arrowverse. “Arrow” may be the title, but Felicity is the most important character. Without her, the show does not work.

I know people talk about reddit having a hive mind, but HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. Tumblr takes the "hive mind" to a brain aneurysm inducing level.

Literally every result for the search term "arrow" is about Felicity or #olicity. There's no variety AT ALL. Look for yourself: https://www.tumblr.com/search/arrow

I'm actually seriously terrified of the results shown from the simple search term "arrow". What is going on? I legitimately feel stressed out just scrolling through that.

Are there any other instances of "mad pride"? Looks like she's got a monopoly on this.

>I have OCD, PTSD with depersonalization, schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), mild ADD, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (a diagnosis I personally do not view as a disability in any sense of the definition).

Hmm. Narcissism isn't... a problem. Hmm. Well, she claims to have diagnoses, can't say shit except that someone decided arguing with someone who wears "insane" on their sleeve (probably literally) was a good idea.

EDIT: It's gonna be a hell of a night

I knew this was going to blow up as soon as I saw the news last night. Let's just take a quick dip over to one of the anti-GG subs to see how they're celebrating their moral victory.

> "It's not technically child porn." I am not sure that is a hill that GG wants to plant its flag on.

>> Honestly, yes, that's exactly where I want to plant my flag. I don't care about anyone being disgusted by anything. The thought process that gets you from being disgusted by something to attacking it and trying to censor it is the real problem behind all of this.

>>> That is point in fact where I want to plant my flag on. No, it's not "technically not cp". It's " Not cp. Period."

...oh. I guess it's actually about Constitutional ethics in kiddie porn?

Anyone who's still at all on the fence need look no further than this article, which is being thoroughly ~~debunked~~ ~~ignored~~ source-attacked in almost all of these threads.

We talk about tumblr as if it's all socjus crazies but really they're only a small part of the site. Mostly it's fandoms, fashion and makeup blogs, music, and porn. Typical stuff teenagers like.

See their most popular tags or the most popular blogs.

There's a woman who writes about Chinese privilege in Singapore which is described as very much akin to white privilege in the US.

In China there's a related term "Han chauvinism" (大汉族主义) to describe something like Han privilege and the idea that it should exist. This was original a criticism and in many cases still is. But there are plenty of people (see the 汉服 movement) who have a sense of superiority. This would definitely fit in to the idea of Han supremacy, though not with the same sort of militarism of a lot of white supremacy movements.

There's no question that Han enjoy greater benefits than other ethnic groups. I would say that could be called Han privilege in the same sense of white privilege in the West. Uyghurs (to name one example) have a reputation of being criminals, which leads them to have difficulty finding jobs in areas where they're the minority, which leads them to be more likely to turn to other means of making money.

How long have you been in China?

As a side note: There are a lot of people who are Han who might not look Han to you depending on where you live in China. In Shanghai we have a lot of people from Sichuan who still identify as Han but don't look like local Shanghainese. That would be even more striking if you're in a place like Beijing.

edit: I misread "white supremacy" as "white privilege". Still, I think I've also addressed the supremacy part, so I'll leave it. If needed I can clarify points.

I don't have the source on me at the moment, but there was good reason for them to say a quake wouldn't happen (by the way, my understanding was that they said a quake was extremely unlikely, which is not the same thing as "won't happen" but sounds the same to the public.) Apparently there was a dude going around claiming that an earthquake was imminent (I think on the scale of days or weeks or something). This prediction was causing a panic, and of course we can't actually predict earthquakes that accurately so this guy was full of shit. The scientists were told to basically reassure the public that an earthquake that soon was very unlikely, and I believe one of them misspoke and used language that a layperson may have interpreted to mean that an earthquake was not going to happen in the next few days, period. The resulting loss of life was tragic, but it was in no way the scientists' fault; the expected danger of the panic was worse than of the earthquake.

As an enginerd I'm reluctant to make transport about people 'giving' things, especially 'respect'. That's a story frame that just begs for continued soap opera drama.

"Cyclists". "Drivers". Meaningless tribal war words. Most people just get around the city by whatever mode is most effective that particular trip.

That the city neglects a mode that's cost-effective, healthy, convenient, quick, and high-capacity for short trips because of identity politics is just dumb civil engineering.

You need to get a B- in order to diagnose friends and family members. But its not all bad. With your C+ you are more than qualified to diagnose yourself, your pets, and total strangers. You should head over to this sight and get started right now.

I have to keep reminding people again: "Corruption" is a more attractive topic than "Ethics".

I already collected plenty of dirt on Kotaku in my letter, including an incident that's very sparsely talked about: the blacklisting of David Prassel at Kotaku.

Someone wrote about all the borderline to outright child porn on 8chan. (The link is SFW, though maybe not SFL).

KiA was subsequently filled with threads defending it and attacking the author, because how dare someone talk about all the pedophiles on a site which supports GG?

Child porn: unassailable free speech.

Feminist video game critiques: a menace which must be stamped out.

Personally I find monk straps to be a more formal shoe, so I wouldn't be wearing them with denim at all -- unless it was a very "smart" pair of jeans. Be careful not to veer into jeans and sheux territory.

The responses from employees on the mini-microsoft blog are an interesting read on how this is being interpreted within.

Wow, thanks for all of the upvotes everyone! You might also enjoy this piece I wrote about what it's like being a city dweller going snowmobiling for the first time... https://medium.com/jamess-blog/3b480a75f867

I don't really understand what happened to Bioware games. It's no longer about the story/combat/tactics. It's all about having sex with your companions and shipping the other ones off. Most of the fanbase doesn't care about anything other than that shit so that's who they pander too. Just take a look into the Dragon Age tag on tumblr. All these people care about is who they can fuck.

Well that's funny, because your blog's favourites list (NSFW) contains mainly pictures of Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan. Often shirtless. And not as their characters. And at least once, gay porn because the two guys in it look kind of like them (they really don't, but whatever). Also, occasionally lesbian porn.

So, uh, yeah. You do objectify people. A lot, actually. And you definitely feel all of these others things about men - you clearly feel you're smarter and better than basically every man (except Chris Evans, who I am sure is secretly absolutely a radfem just like you) and mock them, so you can sure as Hell do that to women too. If you can't do that to women too, then it implies you see them as fundamentally elevated above men - in which case you're every bit as shitty as the (actually quite rare) kinds of people you criticise.

Fucking hypocritical moron.

I'm trying to understand where he is coming from. With all of the news and shootings lately, I imagine (I'm a white woman, so I can never really know) that it is hard for young black boys right now. All of the news shows that cops see you as a lesser person,a danger, someone to be followed and scared of. Read this article called "The Talk" to get a little perspective on how black parents train their kids for interacting with cops.

It must be overwhelming to have a white cop treat you as special and worthwhile when you grow up feeling this way.

I've been following this whole thing for awhile and it is extremely fascinating. On one side you have the pro-gamergate who will tell you more or less that its a fight between game journalists and gamers and the other side saying that its gamers against feminism. Zoe Quinn really was just the spark that ignited the fire she really is pretty irrelevant to the argument link

PSA for those who may not know, this is a submission to the Golden Ticket to TI5 contest. There's been a flurry of new content the past couple of days so I would highly recommend you check them out

i'm just joking, mostly. however ask any teacher, high levels of screen time (child's and parent's) is having severe negative impact on early socialisation. face to face, undivided attention is the greatest gift you can give a kid. given that, game when your kids are asleep, the time they're awake is too precious to waste. most kids don't get the parenting they deserve and most parents are very good at rationalising their selfishness and short comings.

Doesn't mean gaming can't used as an opportunity to enhance parenting: https://medium.com/message/playing-with-my-son-e5226ff0a7c3

Please everyone I need you to chip in, to archive everything on this guy! As much as you can, as fast as you can. Now that this is out he'll soon know he's being scrutinized. All his social media and online presence needs to be backed up. I've only done a small amount, there is a lot.

Edit: archive but do not post any link! Remember doxxing is forbidden. If you must, do that part on Voat. Here is the thread: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1684195

Can't find the actual source. It only posts to a news site that doesn't even have the image on it...?

EDIT: I lied and I am an idiot. Name was on the image. Hacked the mainframe and found it

This is the correct answer :) Assuming you have a desire to find common interests, there are loads of country bands that are just as much rock bands so if you love something with a little bit more "kick" and she only likes stuff that has a little more "twang", find music that has both!

For years I thought I hated country music aside from a few timeless Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson tunes. Turns out I only thought I hated country music as a genre because I had mainly just heard one particular type of country music--boring radio country pop. I was always more of a rock fan but if all I'd ever heard of rock was Jack Johnson and Maroon 5 I'd have thought I hated rock too!

I think it can be hard to get into different kinds of music because you may have negative associations with certain aspects of it and other parts are just unfamiliar so they don't have any positive associations. It's like learning another language and finding what you like.

At some point I'd been listening to some Old 97's and Supersuckers and I had an older Wilco album and realized that hey...these rock bands are also a bit country. Stuff like Fallout: New Vegas gave me good associations with some of the old western music and stations like Bootliquor just added to the mix. Now I still don't really like pop country but not because it's country, but because (to me) it's boring and unoriginal and overproduced. That's still a bias I haven't been able to get past and I dunno if I'll ever be able to find what's good in that really manufactured-sounding music but I guess anything's possible.

Also, this discussion reminds me of an article I read recently:

https://medium.com/@sixfoot6/getting-out-of-the-woods-a-primer-on-not-being-a-music-hater-fc4c46d4dde0

I think you might be projecting your own opinions. Like, a lot.

Tumblr is actually a great place to be a R&M fan.

There is no "epidemic". You're being hyperbolic and sensationalist. Just like Morty.

And to that I say: Geeeeeeeeeez

But really, one of the morals of Undertale is that there has to be consequences for your actions, and Asriel's and Chara's fate is the result of their plan to save everybody.

However, that doesn't mean we can't go and think about what would happen post-pacifist! I present to you, Floweypot, my most favorite of anything, because it kinda saves Asriel, in the most canon way!

Echoes of "Every Internet conversation with dudes, ever."

The smiling thing is the bane of my existence. Someone told me to smile while I was typing out an email. I mean... that's crazy.

It's nothing more than a neg to try and get us to honor the request, which demeans us in order to please a man. It's so much more manipulative and fucked up than most people even realize. This kind of explains why.

edit: a word

Instead of posting your daily depressed musings, have you considered starting a blog, or an emo band?

https://wordpress.com/

Your constant calls for help ignore all the help this sub has tried to provide.

This is perfectly normal. Most webshops in Belgium are absolute shit. And many companies don't have an actual shop, just a website. At the start of the first lockdown I got into an argument with a bicycle shop owner who complained about being closed (fair enough) after I had said that if in 2020 you don't have a webshop, your business probably deserves to die.

Yes it was perhaps not a nice thing to say, but there is really no excuse. I have a side business and it took me 2 evening to fabricate a decent webpage on wordpress.com for an extremely low amount per year. It really isn't difficult.

Yet so many people flat out refuse. I've been on 1 website to buy steel, where I had to send a mail to paper catalogue without prices, and then they would make me a quote. Meanwhile there were Dutch websites where every size of every type is available with a shopping basket system, online chat, and a whatsapp chat. Google anything in dutch 'X... kopen' and you will find tons of Dutch shops and almost no Belgian ones.

Any Belgian company who wants my business should have a webshop, or I will ignore them.

It gets a bad rap but, Tumblr is great. In fact, it gets a bad rap by redditors that highlights it's worst parts. (It's the same people who use cuck and SJW as insults, how much do you value their opinion? It would be like saying Reddit is all about objectifying women, hating overweight people, red pill, altreich, pedophilia, woman hating bullshit.)

Tumblr is a great website full of progressive people and if there's something you don't like you can unfollow it. I mean, it prides it's self on being woke. Though I don't follow many social justice blogs (mainly anime, video games, and fashion). You'll also realize that alot of Reddit content is stolen from Tumblr.

http://the-real-eye-to-see.tumblr.com/

I can honestly say that the way I think and act would be way different if I didn't find tumblr when I was younger (i'm only 19)

I mean look at all the thousands of notes these post have. Do you think anything like this would get this many upvotes on Reddit? Tumblr also has some beautiful women of all colors. they all fine as fuck.

People who think tumblr is filled with the stereotype reddit portrays of them have probably never been on tumblr.

The front page of reddit and the trending page of tumblr pretty much have the same content.

hey guys, artist here. thanks for all the love! Here is the article this gif was made for. points to you if you can spot the HTTYD2 reference in this gif (I watched that movie the same weekend I made this.)

And that's a link to an article of the OP of that thread. The video is all the way at the bottom, though it's not as exciting as most would expect.

You'll be less impressed when you learn that the 30mm round wasn't wholly effective against a T-62's frontal and turret armor, much less a t-90 or other MBT.

Check out this article and coloring book.

Edit: this is specifically a criticism of the gau 8 against the modern mbt. Against soft targets and light armored vehicles it remains effective.

I hesitate to say Google is doing this on purpose, but it does smell like it.

A temporary fix for this is to spoof your user agent to fool youtube into thinking you're using a different browser.

It's a current trend that when discussion are being had about misogyny or sexism women experience, some asshat needs to butt in with "NOT ALL MEN!!".

This is bad because: https://medium.com/@brendawambui/66a973206e65

Most of these things are descriptive, without us the descriptions or concepts are irrelevant.

Love is a way to describe an emotion we feel, without our brains (ignoring animals/aliens) then that emotion actually would not exist.

Circle is a description of a shape. There will be things which match the description without us, but if nobody was around to apply the description then no it (the description as applied by someone) would not exist.

Logic is another thing which is often brought up, but that too is a description of the reality we see, the law of identity: A is A and not B is true because that is all we have observed. So the laws of logic are descriptive not proscriptive.

A different reality might have different laws of logic, we might not be able to conceive of how that would work, but we only have 1 universe, that makes comparisons kinda hard.

The laws/theories of physics again are actually descriptive not proscriptive. We see something happening and describe what happens and call the description a law or a theory (simplifying how this works here but hopefully you get the idea).

Heck I know it's kinda hard to wrap my brain around but there is even an experiment (article at medium.com) which seems to indicate that if there was a being 'outside' the universe then from their perspective ... nothing happens, the universe never changes. Time is only happening for beings inside the universe, no time = no change, for the outside observer, nothing happens.

Soooo God created the universe ... and then was disappointed as it did nothing.

Hi Reddit,

I'm very happy that you're all so excited about my book. I'd just like to clear up a few points:

1. The fact that it's available for free in HTML form does not mean that I'm giving permission for you to scrape it and download it, nor am I giving permission for you to download PDF versions from torrent sites.

2. I worked on the book for 3 years. You have no idea how much effort goes into writing a technical book until you try to write one. My compensation for that work so far is less than minimum wage.

3. I am the founder of JSHomes - an organization dedicated to providing job training for housing-first programs for the homeless. When you decide to pocket the small expense of the book to save a few bucks, keep in mind that the money you saved could have helped a lot of people. https://medium.com/the-backer-army/fighting-poverty-with-code-d1ed3ebd982d

Out of respect and decency, please enjoy the book in its legal forms.

Sincerely,

Eric Elliott

Just look at the antishipping tag and you will find examples and horror stories, including people sending actual child porn to "pedophilic" shippers and claiming that they "normalize pedophilia" by saying that 2 characters with an age difference would make a cute couple

One tough as nails baby.

And that app seems awesome. It was annoying as all hell when I was out traveling. Trying to post using my phone and imgur. This seems much easier. I would like to add though that for those of you who use Tumblr then dont forget to tag your stuff with "RedditArtistNetwork".

Oh wow. I just noticed that Silverstein tweeted "God, I don't follow one guy on Twitter and he goes and writes a whole story on Medium. Very high on my list of things I won't be reading" in response to this article. Unreal.

EDIT: And now the author of the piece on The Medium is replying to the tweet, very reasonably I might add.
