jokes aside, on a completely serious note, regardless of how tumblr justifies the decision regarding the ban, the value of porn on this shithole website is incomparable to the safety of the children exposed already
I don’t even look at porn on Tumblr or care about it, but the new rules are emphatically not going to help any children. I don’t see anything in the new rules that would do a thing about text comments redirecting to pedo stuff. Instead, the new rules confirm that Tumblr is not going to hire moderators, they’re just going to implement a cheaper algorithm-based system, which will, of course, eventually be gamed by faster-evolving porn spambots.
Here’s a public health analogy: let’s say you’re facing a massive bacterial outbreak, except you’re too greedy to pay for real medical care, so you just dramatically spray your target population with cheap antibiotic disinfectant and tell them you care about them so much, everything you do is out of love, etc. Then, over a period of time, the cheap disinfectant kills the weaker germs, encourages the stronger ones to breed and all of a sudden everyone starts coming down with MRSA.
Someone Jewish I know posted a picture of her dog with Santa and was like “we take him because his family of orgin was culturally Christian and we try to respect that” 😭
In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.
Inspiring; you can’t box your lover in, rather let them grow and you grow with them.
i don’t mean to sound fake deep but the reason 2018 felt so long was because we’re being fed what’s trending at such a rapid rate that we literally can’t remember half of the shit that even happened anymore. “Black Panther came out in February!” Marvel releases so many movies a year that we completely forget about the last movie as soon as a new one comes out and it repeats in a vicious cycle. “Tide Pods/Ugandan Knuckles was in January!” The life span of memes have been rapidly declining for years and it’s gotten to the point where the average lifespan of a meme is about 2 weeks and then the next thing gets popular and then that lasts for 2 weeks and it just keeps going. We’re literally losing our sense of time because of our rapid consumption of media and pop culture.
My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.
every time we serve chicken at work i think of this post
1. If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.
2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:
THIS IS GOLD
oh m god please watch the video it’s some of the most contagious laughter on the planet
When I saw this cross my dash tonight, I smiled and thought “yess, the chicken chicken chicken post, I get to reblog it again and inflict it on all of the people that have followed me since last time”, and then I scrolled down more and to my utter delight there was A VIDEO, needless to say my night has been made
Yessss
@gallusrostromegalus I assume you are very conversant with this cutting-edge research.
The latest findings are really exciting too! To quote the article:
Which is a fascinating new take and I’m really curious to see what develops from this discovery. It’s really worth clicking through to read the whole thing.
