so in psychology class we got to learn why foot fetishes are so prevelant! basically your brain stores the structural information for your body generally in the correct order (i.e. the info for your ears is stored next to the info for the head, which is stored next to the neck, etc.) BUT. The info for the feet is stored right next to the info for the genitalia and so sometimes these two sections of information can overlap and make you wanna lick some toes
thanks, i hate it
Normally when y’all post this kinda shit it’s blatantly incorrect, but I’m angry to say that this one is absolutely factual
A pornbot stole my actual RL name for its blog title, because this information was scattered around in my tumblr. It found my first and middle name, which create an extremely rare combination that I don’t believe for a damn minute was randomly generated.
They’re also taking people’s selfies for camgirl ads and the like. Fortunately I don’t have any up. If I had, I have no doubt they’d be scattered all over a porn blog that also had part of my REAL NAME attached to it. Now think about what happens if someone googles your name for employment purposes, and they come up with not just a porn blog full of camgirl ads, but also pictures that are clearly you.
If you can get into your followers list (I can’t–it shows me less than 25% of my follower count and that’s all, no idea how to fix it) then block any pornbots and spambots. More importantly, whether you have had any problems yet or not, every user reading this needs to get your butt into your post history and yank the selfies, along with any other identifying information.
Because in order to stay safe on Tumblr, a social network, you apparently need to never use it like a social network.
@staff Many of your users are minors. Their images are being used to promote pornography and scams due to abuse of your platform. The situation leaves you with an obvious ethical burden to act–not to mention, wide open to some very harsh litigation and even harsher press. I do not think it’s unreasonable to expect prompt improvement.
the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family
Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making
i’ve never pretended to have good taste.. i know everything i like is garbage but i’m having a hell of a time!
this thing is stronger than god
I tried playing red dead redemption on this and got trampled to death by a horse
Passenger next to me: Sir can you please turn that down?
Me, playing on my 50pound gaming laptop, yelling over it’s loud cooling fans and Skyrim sounds w/ sex mods : WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU?
I don’t think Winry gets enough credit as a genius. Like, automail would need her to understand engineering, robotics, anatomy, and particularly how nervous systems work, and she’s technically a surgeon. She was already a regular helper at Pinako’s shop when she was 11. At 15, she walked into a town full of top automail experts and impressed all but one of them with a rush-order arm she’d made. Then, she took over one person’s shop so thoroughly, her customers won’t even let someone else make the outer casings. On top of that, she read medical books as a child and not only understood them, but retained enough of it to successfully deliver a baby years later even though that had nothing to do with her preferred field. And she didn’t have any help from the Truth.
Winry might not be an alchemist, but she’s a medical and engineering genius and somebody needs to tell her that right now.
Who knew I would love a job doing numbers and fixing other people’s mistakes all day
