what cracks me up is like tumblr is doing everything EXCEPT getting rid of porn bots
tumblr users: you guys have porn bots tumblr: porn is allowed tho tumblr users: it’s not tagged correctly tumblr: tumblr users: their blogs aren’t marked as explicit tumblr: tumblr users: they’re literally reblogging posts from teens under 18 and adding links to porn tumblr: tumblr users: and the links are full of malware tumblr: tumblr users: please do something about this. like we get that nsfw is allowed but these bot accounts are breaking the rules and overall making this a negative experience at best and violating the community guidelines at worst tumblr: uhhh. okay. how about this. tumblr: we will just like, auto-delete accounts that have “suspicious links” in them tumblr users: you’re literally going after real accounts that aren’t posting nsfw tumblr: tumblr: we’re gonna make posts with links not show up in search results anymore tumblr: that’s not getting rid of the bots!!! that’s just punishing content creators that use your platform to get in touch with potential clients and promote their content!! get rid of the bots! tumblr: well our app just got removed from apple so tumblr users: that’s not good at all! what if i get a new phone and i wanna put your app of it? it’s like you guys have a vested interest in keeping the active bot accounts on your rolls!! tumblr: 🙂
unfortunately this is the name of the game folks
save the site, not necessarily the users
what will happen is tumblr will go radio silent for probably about a week while they’re working on getting their app re-approved by Apple and anyone else who booted them off the app platform
why?
💸
💸
💸 and metadata and more
💸
💸
💸
it’s much harder to block ads on a phone app than it is on desktop so they’ve got a vested interest in keeping the app viable IN PARTICULAR so they’re losing potential AND ACTUAL revenue pretty much every moment that app isn’t available for download
plus # of active accounts is a figure taken into consideration for price of ads on websites
⬇️ download of app +
⬇️ of use of app = ⬇️ active users =
⬇️ of price tumblr can charge advertisers for space on their website =
⬇️
💸
💸
💸
tumblr’s broad stroke changes on the site to contain the bots vs actually purging the accounts suggests they’re massively understaffed or their current staff are under-qualified to manage the site
or both (lbr it’s DEFINITELY both 😂
😂
😂)
stay tuned folks there’ll probably be a post from @ staff explaining why the app went away but ZERO explanation of how they’re going to fix this issue in concrete steps unless it’s an absolute ban on all 18+ blogs (which they won’t do because again, ad money)
OKAY so I saw this a few days ago and was like “whatever” but then I smashed my phone in a car door, had to clean up some dead baby bunnies in my yard, and have just generally NOT had a good week. I’m fucking spooked and I’m reblogging this twice to get the universe to stop.
I ignored this too and then i got kicked out of my house. Also reblogging twice.
Can’t chance it
Last week was an actual shit show no way I’m fuckin risking it
Can we bring this back? He’s the reason I started carrying knives everywhere… One time he saw me inside of a liquor store and I refused to step outside until he finally left.. AN HOUR LATER. He just stood there waiting for me to leave the store. Ugh. I’m glad I’m across the country from this creep.
Oh he also stopped by my work EVERYDAY to ask me out and EVERYDAY I would say “no thank you” it got to the point that whenever I saw his car pull up I would tell my boss and then go hide in the back room. He honestly terrified me.
Men are fucking terrifying, I once had some random dude stalk me at work because I smiled at him. … something you get in trouble for if you don’t do when in customer service!
what the actual fuck
Everytime a guy tries to describe himself to me as a nice guy and that i shouldn’t be afraid, my warning siren in my head gets louder.
protip, people who are actually nice, don’t usually feel the need to tell everyone how nice they are.
Men feel so entitled sometimes. It’s scary to watch the interactions sometimes.
Hey guys, I don’t typically do this but I am in a tough spot. My work cut my hours to twelve a week and I am having a hard time finding another position. Until I do, Knave and I’s bank account is starting to run on fumes.
My commissions are open and I am ready to draw anything and everything! If not that consider maybe buying me a Ko-fi! My Ko-fi button can be found on my blog.
Thank you so much for your help guys – even a reblog will help.
Apparently my Ko-fi button decided to be a bit of a butt the second I make a post about it, so here is a link instead!
Recently, I left a position at my previous job to take up something more seasonal, but pays well. My intention behind this is it would help me make enough to be able to move, essentially, across the country by the end of January. This job came through a temp agency, and while they did communicate information to me about the position, there was a misunderstanding on the details and the needs of the position.
However, regardless on whether or not they provided enough for me to understand just what I was agreeing to, or if I just entirely ignorant- the job did not meet my needs, and what I could handle. It was essentially a warehousing position, standing in one spot for 10 hours.
So, I did leave this job and have been consistently and rapidly applying to as many jobs as I have been able to. I have been applying to stuff I am well overqualified, under-qualified for, and everything in between. Although, I have mainly been doing temporary shifts to make up wages until I could get a call about another job.
I have also been applying to many jobs down in the state that I intend to move to.
As of now, I am going to an interview on Tuesday for a part-time barista position, and I will also spend majority of today and Monday (November 18th & 19th) visiting businesses in person to try to find work as well. However, these are not guaranteed, and every day I am not working, I am losing money.
Now, with the temporary work, I could have made up my wages despite the number of hours I’d have to work (upwards towards 45-50, compared to the 38-40 I’d usually need). However, on my way to another shift this morning, I realized my car was making worse noises than it has recently (the diagnostics I got on it were something like needing new shocks/struts, and all tires replaced). While it isn’t an immediate, absolute necessity to fix and could go a while, I have put off getting my car repaired for over a month purely from not having the money to pay the mechanics.
I did cancel my shift last minute out of concern, and because of a previous issue I had with a shift and cancelled last minute (less than a month ago), I was put on a week suspension, which means I have no access to the shifts I had lined up for the next 7 days.
I cannot, cannot, CANNOT do this. I do NOT have anyone who can help me or lend me money. Previously, I’ve asked my family, but because of tensions with everyone and their financial hardships as well, I have no options.
I am doing my best to find work as fast as I can, but I have no guarantee how fast that’ll come. I do get paid this Friday from my last full-time job (I estimate MAXIMUM of $350, if even that; $120-150 MAX from the temp agency job and $90-110 MAX from the temporary shift jobs I managed to do last week)
However, I have no way of knowing if I’m right until that money comes in. And regardless, I don’t know if that’ll be enough to cover my bills or my food.
I also recently applied for an airport position that I feel FAIRLY confident I’ll get and pays very well with incentives and shift differentials, but because it’s an airport, I had to get fingerprinting and detailed background tests. I was told not to expect anything back until late next week, or the week of the 26th.
So, no matter what, I am fucked for an entire week. And I don’t know what do other than what I am. I am going to try to reach out to the community manager to see if I can get the suspension lifted from that temporary work, but I don’t expect it to be.
In the meantime, I’ll do what I can to apply to places and go in person. But, please, if you could spare ANYTHING, please consider either tipping my writing or helping me out!
Ideally, I would need around $600 (what I typically make in a paycheck) to guarantee that all of my bills are paid and I don’t create any issues with my landlord and roommate. However, that also leaves it incredibly questionable on if I’ll be able to afford necessities or groceries.
Groceries tend to run me about $40-60, because I ration out food for two weeks and… I just honestly can’t afford to eat a ton. At best, I manage two meals a day. But, I also have to pay for prescriptions and certain vitamins (iron, b12, vit-d) because of deficiencies.
I do not expect to get anywhere near $600, but I do need to have enough for groceries, the electric/internet, and the car insurance ($40-60 groceries; $95-105 electric/internet; $125 car insurance) I am hoping that I’ll have a job by the middle of this week to make sure the beginning month expenses are covered on my part.
If nothing else, please at least consider helping me with my groceries so I can eat lmao.
If I manage to find something before the middle of the week, I’ll make sure to remove this post from my blog.
IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE WHAT I CAN. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP ME OUT! AND IF YOU CAN’T, P L E A S E REBLOG IT TO HELP IT GET AROUND.
honestly this is why Assassins Creed cosplayers are my favourite cosplayers because you’re never sure when one of them is gonna just bust out the parkour but you know at least one of them in a group can do it.
Are you sure they are not Actual Assassins?
modern day Assassins dress as historical assassin to blend in a crowd of cosplayers and #remain_undetected
none of the people even turned when he did that, too, so I’m convinced we’re either living in a simulation or that was an actual assassin
I was checking out at Walmart, and as I was reaching for my bags I said, “Happy Holidays!” And the cashier leaned in like she was sharing a secret and said “Merry Christmas.” So I smiled politely and said, “Blessed Yule!” And the look that spread across her face, you would have thought I’d literally stolen Christmas from her.
If you’re going to make a point of wishing me a happy whatever-you-celebrate, I’m going to make a point of wishing you a happy whatever-I-celebrate, and if you think that’s wrong you should consider getting “hypocrite” tattooed across your forehead.
It’s that time of year again
A post I made has officially become an “it’s that time of year again” post and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t honored
