Round 5, Poll 1

Surge the Tenrec (left) was brainwashed into wanting to kill Sonic and take his place as a "hero." She was physically modified with cybernetics and Sonic's biodata. After discovering what had been done to her, she began to hate the world as a whole, and Sonic in particular, for allowing her to be created. Her augments make her very fast and grant her electrical powers. She also has a fennec fox sidekick

Shard (right) was the original Metal Sonic in the Archie comics. During one encounter with Sonic, he captured Tails as bait to lure Sonic into an active volcano. When he saw Tails refusing to abandon Sonic in the volcano in spite of the danger, Shard discovered he had the capacity for compassion and sacrificed himself to save them. His remains were retrieved from the cooled lava some time afterwards, and he was rebuilt with a new design. He then joined the Secret Freedom Fighters under the code name "Jack"

This Google Drive AI scraping bullshit actually makes me want to cry. My entire life is packed into Google Drive. All of my writing over the years, all of my academic documents, everything.

I’m just so overwhelmed with all the shit I’m going to have to move. I’m lucky to have Scrivener, but online data storage has been super important as I’ve had so many shitty computers, and the only reason I haven’t lost work is because Google Drive has been my backup storage unit.

My partner has recommended gitlab to move my files to - it seems useful, and I can try and explain more about what it is and how it works when I get more familiar with it. I’m unsure if it’s a text editor, or can work that way. He was explaining something about the version history that I don’t quite understand right now but might later. I’m just super overwhelmed and frustrated that this is the dystopia we live in right now.

I’m so sad to see so many panicked posts about google docs when the original inflammatory post has been debunked and retracted.

Google is ONLY talking about publicly available data. Stuff that is in your drive DOES NOT COUNT as publicly available. 

There are SO MANY companies that use drive and docs for proprietary information who would have MANY lawsuits to bring if it was discovered private drives were being scraped.

Now, I’m not saying NOT to swap writing programs because google docs is pretty pants as an actual word processor, and also, never ever have all your stuff only in one place, but I don’t want anyone to freak out that their writing isn’t safe.

why lex luthor Like That. hes so classic supervillain. he doesnt even have a backstory as far as im aware he just fucking HATES that stupid idiot alien boy

honestly out of everything in the superman mythos the idea that one of the country's richest men would have a death grudge against a guy who goes around saving cats from trees and helping old ladies escape from burning buildings is perhaps the most realistic. The delicious irony is that if he had formed that rivalry with literally anyone else he could have gotten him black-bagged by the FBI or dissolved in a barrel of acid years and years ago, but Superman is physically invincible

A rebuttal to the Deadline article.

"please buy crabs so that Tumblr doesn't have to implement changes we hate to become profitable" right, let me explain something about capitalism.

Tumblr didn't change course because they need the cash and are down on their luck. they did it because corporations want growth.

and that desire for growth is gonna be the same whether they have negative infinity money or positive infinity money. a corporation seeks money and growth.

if Tumblr suddenly became profitable after announcing these changes, it's not even that it would send the wrong message, although it would.

it's that Tumblr wouldn't be taking care of us better if only it weren't for the cruel realities of the world. it's a subsidiary of a corporation. it doesn't care.

it's still going to keep the changes that it thinks are profitable, and ignore changes it thinks won't be. Tumblr is not our friend, it is a website we use, and it wants to profit from us regardless of if that's in our best interest and regardless of if it has "enough" money. that is the relationship. don't get it twisted.

"yeah but Tumblr needs the money 🥺"

what part of corporations aren't our friends isn't fucking clicking

"You heard him"...

more people need to consume media how dedicated comics fans consume their media of choice

go up to any comics fan and ask them which writers house they would mail pipe bombs to and they’ll list of at the bare minimum 5 different people. ask them their favorite character and you’ll be greeted with an answer followed by why every comic ever featuring that character has been literally the worst and they refuse to read it again. truly i don’t think there’s another group of people so invested in something that they truly despise to such a great degree.

to people who keep saying that this applies to their respective fandom: you will never experience this

the most annoying people are the ones who just reply "no 💖" to recovery/self-improvement posts
