capitalist innovation 😍

A huge part of the reason I still have Netflix is because of people who bum it off me. Like, they use it and that makes it worth it to me. If it turns out they can no longer do that, I will - having been a consistent subscriber since like 2006 when they mailed you DVDs - finally cancel my subscription.

And none of the people who were bumming my account are going to pick one up - they don’t have money! That’s why we all share our streaming accounts!

So if I’m understanding this correctly, just using Netflix away from home on a “foreign” WiFi is enough to get your account blocked, because it’ll get flagged as another user “sharing” the account.

You’ll get slapped with a penalty for watching Netflix on your own account if you’re not cooped up in your house doing it because the greedy fucks at corporate are afraid of losing an extra few bucks.

Really beginning to prefer Tumblr to Twitter purely on the basis that when I say something like, for example:

We should feed every frame of Disney into AI art generators

Most people on Tumblr will immediately understand that I am not suggesting it as some sort of actual, workable long-term solution to the problem of independent artists' work being stolen

I am suggesting it as a goblin curse to make the lives of both the talentless artist-disrespecting AI art scumbags and the soulless corporate parasites at Disney very difficult and miserable, and people on Tumblr immediately get that

Posted the same thing to Twitter and I almost immediately got someone dissecting the tweet as "being indicative of how left-wing creatives will try to side with corporations when the subject of copyright comes up"

Twitter: The enemy of my enemy must be my friend.

Tumblr: The enemy of my enemy is a convenient patsy, and probably a chump.

We don't want to pit two bad bitches against eachother, we want to pit two DUMB bitches against eachother. It's like when two enemies fight in Monster Hunter- "Yes! The girls are fightiiiing!"(now I can harvest BOTH their corpses)

my first wondertrade in oras and i got a machamp incredible

all it knows is dig

level 31 and it just knows dig

what am i supposed to do with this

is

is this machamp’s name “homo matsuri”

as in

“homo festival”

yea this is good

Some more interesting information:

“Dig” in Japanese was originally “Ana wo horu,” which translates to “Dig a hole,” with the direct object’s being “Ana,” “a hole” and the verb’s being “horu,” “dig.”

The common writing of “ana,” “穴,” is the same as a colloquial term for the buttocks, “ketsu.”

“Horu,” in addition to it’s more standard definition, is also a slang verb meaning “to have anal sex (between two men).”

Your new Machamp is named “Homo Festival,” and it’s only move is to fuck a man in the ass.

Okay so I've been informed that this is super cool and should be shared so please behold my Great Grandfather's helmet from WWI (my OTHER great grandfather, not the one who was mustard gassed and had perminant laryngitis as a result)

This helmet was painted in 1918 by a French woman for my Great Grandad before he went into the trenches. It's an oil painting, and the woman who did it probably only charged about 50¢-$1, just as a way to make some money and as a way to send the men into battle with something beautiful and unique. The kicker is, my great Gramps caught Spanish Flu before he could actually see any action, and was sent home to either recover or die. He survived, but because of his short deployment the helmet and the painting done to it survived in near perfect condition too.

Whoever the woman was who painted the helmet was a master at her art, and not only is it incredibly detailed but she used the three dimensional surface to full effect, taking the brim of the helmet to make a horizon line for the sunset over the water. And she gave it texture and details that would make Bob Ross proud.

It's 103 years old this year :)

(and yes, the impasto (texture) of the painting feels EXACTLY like how you think it does lol)

Anatomist Harris Mosher with a teaching skull, ca. 1929

”teaching skull” cant fool me. that from a real big guy

Today I was peeing in a public restroom and overhead a bunch of women with babies st the basins talking about how much they wished genderless toilets existed because it would make caring for children all that much easier.

Their arguments was that caring for children is easier when you can have two parents nearby, especially when you need to manage multiple children. Not only that, another one added, but sometimes single fathers need to help little daughters go to the toilet and are faced with the choice of 1) occupying the disabled people toilet or 2) risking taking their little girls into men's restrooms and having her see someone at a urinal because that's the only way they can keep a proper eye on them. And another one complained that sometimes she needs to change her crying baby's diaper while her little girl needs to go to - and all of this would be easier if only mums and dads were allowed in the same spaces at the same time.

And all I could think about while I finished peeing and heard this was that genderless public restrooms are a female need and would probably be an unanimously held feminist demand (similarly to reproductive rights) if it wasn't for radfems who are so gassed by their hatred towards men and trans people that they refuse to move forward with what should be a very simple and reasonable demand.

Ea-Naṣir Reassures Two Men (UET V 72)

In this unpublished tablet, held by the British Museum, we find the copper merchant Ea-Naṣir and his associate Ilushu-illassu writing to a couple of men to reassure them.  Although the situation is missing some context, there are some real gems in the context of the famous letter to Ea-Naṣir.

…

Say to Shumun-libshi and the Zabardabbû: [1]

Ea-Naṣir and Ilushu-illassu say:

As for the situation with Mr. “Shorty” and Erissum-matim, who came here, don’t be scared.

I made them enter the temple of the Sun-God and take an oath.  They said, “We didn’t come about these matters; we came for our businesses.”

I said, “I will write to them” — but they didn’t believe me!

He said, “I had a quarrel with Mr. Shumun-libshi.”  He said, “[…] to his partner.  I took, and you did not […]  You didn’t give to me.”

Within 3 days, I’ll come to the city of Larsa.

Also, I spoke with Erissum-matim and said, “What is your sign?” [2]

I said to the kettle-maker (?), “Go with Ilum-gamil the Zabardabbû, and take the shortfall for me, and put it in the city of Enimma.”

Also, don’t neglect your […].

Also, I have given the ingots that we talked about to the men.

P.S. Don’t be critical!  Get the […] from them!  Don’t worry!  We’ll come to you.  [3]

sup y’all, new ea-nasir lore just dropped

wait so does “Ea-Naṣ︎ir” mean it’s been pronounced nashir all this time? where is that coming from?! (I’m only basing this on Sanskrit romanisation using ṣ︎ as a soft sh so I’ve no idea of the context here but)

In Akkadian transliteration, “ṣ” means a “ts” sound.  So his name is pronounced “E-a-nat-SEAR.”  (It comes from the verb naṣāru, “to guard, to watch over,” so it means “The god Ea watches over [him].”)

crying rn 🥹

will type it up in full later but found out yesterday my boyfriend a) did not know (most) saints were actual real human beings b) thought mother theresa was fictional c) actually thought this about a LOT of famous historical figures including tutankhamen and albert einstein

Has he never seen photographs of Einstein that he knew were supposed to be Einstein (or other widely-photographed historical figures) or did he think they were images of an actor or something? Did he say what works he thought any of the historical-figure characters were from?

long story short he thought anybody who had made an appearance in tv shows/cartoons (he saw einstein in a cartoon) was not real because television isn't real and people on tv aren't real unless it's reality tv or the news

long story long:

rhys: you know st. enoch right me: yeah. wait. the place (in glasgow) or like... the actual saint r: what saint me: saint... enoch? r: there's a saint enoch? me: what did you think it was named after. like. patron saint of glasgow r: no that's saint mungo me: right yeah my bad. saint mungo's mum r: wait saints have mothers? me: ...yes? last i checked people do tend to have mothers r: wait saints are PEOPLE? me: ...yes? they just get canonised for doing miraculous shit? r: they aren't like. made-up divine beings like angels? me: uh..... no? some of them probably weren't real but like. mother theresa was definitely real she was LITERALLY still alive when we were kids r: MOTHER THERESA WAS REAL?! me: did you.... think she wasn't r: i thought people made her up! me: dude she died in like. 1997 r: what was she canonised for then me: like. helping poor sick people mostly r: oh like florence nightingale me: i mean not a saint but yeah r: WAIT WAS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ALSO REAL me: ...is this a bit are we doing a bit right now. yes she was a real nurse in the crimean war r: what but that was like 4 years ago me: the FIRST one r: oh me: you thought she was fictional? r: yeah like sherlock holmes. wait he's not real right me: yeah no sherlock is fictional r: i thought tutankhamen was fictional until like... 2009 me: what why r: well like the curse of tutankhamen shit. curses aren't real so he wasn't either me: no he was definitely real r: i thought einstein was fictional me: ........... r: i first saw him in a cartoon! those aren't real! people on tv aren't real! when did you first learn he wasn't made up? you're acting like it's weird to think he's not real me: i mean like... i literally never thought he was fictional r: i thought dickens wasn't real until i read one of his books in school. me: okay but like you know queen victoria was real right r: yeah me: okay good because there was like. a whole doctor who thing with her r: that aired after we did a whole unit on the victorians at school me: did you find out dickens was real before or after you studied victorians r: ........ me: it was after wasn't it r: ......yeah

@learnorlose are you real can you confirm

[id: Tumblr tags from aquaheartgirl, which read: "I am starting to doubt Rhys is real" "did you make him up for notes". end id.]

Ive seen this going around ever since ai art has started to become popular and it’s just really silly but I’m gonna say this. Vocaloid and other such voice synthesizers aren’t on the same level as ai artists imo. In contrast to an ai where you can enter a single prompt and it spits out a completed piece of art, vocaloid cannot produce a completed song or even sing all on its own, YOU have to do the leg work, it’s technically a musical instrument in that respect. I get that they’re both artificial and meant to “replace” a human, but vocaloid still needs human intervention, all it does is provide a voice, and an actual human person has to manipulate it and make a song for it to sing. Capisce?

THIS

more importantly, vocal synth voice banks (even the fancy "ai-powered" ones like the newer synthv ones) are still based on real recordings by professional singers that the company has hired and paid and gotten consent from, as opposed to the "ai art" models that just scrape whatever images they can get their hands on off the public internet and smash them together with no regard for attribution or licensing.

The only thing seperating lovecraft enthusiasts and hentai addicts is the blurry line between fear and arousal.

I endeavor to abolish this line completely, leading us to a new age.

CREATURE????

just when you think it couldn’t be worse, you have to battle a creature

I’m choosing to believe him because I think there should still be mystery and adventure in the world

Okay I looked this one up. He said he talked to God, made up some songs, and lost nine kilos during his 20ish hours in the water. He was also completely nude when he was rescued.
