“…the sight of Elon Musk charging towards Wikipedia with his trademark guile and delicacy was so predictable that it was almost relaxing. He saw a collective resource that people prized and he wanted to hurt it.”

Thoth knows Wikipedia’s not perfect, but I’d sooner have it handy than not have it.

Hey, you know how we spent 7.99 at Tumblr for useless blue checkmarks mainly to spite Musk? Maybe we should go donate the same amount to Wikipedia out of spite. And also because Wikipedia is far more useful than the accurately-named useless blue checks.

I mean, same spite, but actually getting something in return? Sounds like a deal to me...

GO DONATE TO WIKIPEDIA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

you know that Wikipedia's existing level of donations is already far more than they need to keep the site running, right

most of it goes into either A) a growing emergency fund or B) pissed away in donations to random irrelevant shit that doesn't do anything

gobsmacked at the implication that we don't get anything out of buying blue checkmarks

unlike wikipedia, the money you give to tumblr goes towards keeping the site up and running

they're talking about Twitter Blue

which does actually come with some benefits and probably helps the site run slightly less in the red (though it's Twitter, so how much this matters depends on how much of a shit you give)

what Wikipedia actually needs is competition and an egg in the face

lynati specifically mentioned the tumblr checkmarks

oh right, missed that part

you get more in return from pissing into this blue hellhole than you do lining Wikimedia's pockets

Sad to see that people are increasingly unable to recognise the value of things like Wikipedia, but seem to know the price of everything right down to the cents.

Knowledge does more, than "pissing into this blue hellhole" will ever do, as you've put it.

But I am curious, though: What exactly do you think it is that we are getting out of the - sarcastically named - Blue Important Checkmarks here on tumblr, than we would by helping Wikipedia run its servers as well?

knowledge filtered through layers of bureaucracy and bias deprecates severely in value. it's not worthless by any means, but worth much less than it would be otherwise

Tumblr gives us comedy, discourse, and community. Wikimedia gives us very narrow perspectives on any topic that's remotely controversial, and falsehoods presented as truth just because enough "reputable sources" have repeated the same series of lies. It's a news aggregator wearing the coat of an encyclopedia; the only service it provides is convenience.

as I said earlier in the thread, Wikimedia doesn't need any more donor money. it needs formidable competition, since it's gone basically unopposed for like, 20 years

wait you understand that kinks are ok because they're fantasies that make you happy right? you all get that you don't need to have trauma for your kinks to be okay? right? like none of you think i witnessed a tragic accident on the pool toy assembly line right?

there seems to be some confusion in the notes of this post so just to clarify i'm specifically talking about whatever kink you think is immoral

So, as you know, or don't, an employee got fired from Starbucks and they posted all the recipes online =)

"I know I am 100% a straight man because I only like women in a problematic ways"

What earnest gaylors and staunch defenders of her heterosexuality both fail to realize is that you shouldn't have any sincere thoughts at all about taylor swift's sexuality because she is not a real person. everything about her exists in constant flux and the truth of the moment depends on whatever is funniest at the time

of course everyone needs something to believe in. I guess some people choose god others choose humanity as a collective and still others choose taylor swift's sexuality

FUCKING DEVASTATING

Sadako, the Silent Crawler Kaiju

Consider the following

Men are at SO MUCH risk when their wifes yell at them to wash the dishes. Especially when the husband is 6 foot and the wife is 5'1"

Yes the husband is moast times in such danger

Turns out women are more likely to use weapons, verbal abuse is still abuse, and men are generally told not to defend themselves when women hit them.

Ohhh poor baby man

Still isn’t the same as men abusing women. More women die from this domestic violence than their male counterparts.

These resources were made by women for women. If men really thought that they needed these resources then they can create them and fight for them but they don’t. Blaming women for this isn’t going to help male dv victims. Put your energy and anger towards that instead of trying to prove something on here

Well I'm getting the Domestic Violence Support hotline site as the first result typing in "wife yells at me" so this was a stupid debate from the start tbh

If men are conditioned not to defend themselves, then why are they constantly hitting and murdering us?

If you want to play "who's the bigger victim?" most of the people men hit and murder are other men. It's not even close.

Not to mention suicides. They usually outnumber murders by a lot. And most of those are men too.

Your pal up there was still ignoring women's physical violence. And downplaying the damage verbal abuse can cause.

Weird how someone posted an unsourced graphic about who commits crimes to imply it justifies women's fear of men, or the idea that women should be ignored as threats when it comes to domestic violence.

And it's not like the laws aren't gendered specifically to favor women.

I would've done anything for another fancy dinner episode

butterflies have names like the Zesty Cobbler and moths have names like the Russet-tipped Hangman. hoverflies have names like the Horrid Scumsquatter and the millimeter brown speck tiniest beetle native to 3 square feet of Australian desert is called something like Anisopolyacanthus hades (no common name)

moth name: Common Sorrow
