jk rowling is evil, so i will simply pirate the harry potter game instead

*squint*

sorry hang on let me get this straight. your plan is to

  1. get something you want, for free
  2. allow it to saturate your brain, despite associating it with "evil"
  3. announce this to the world, thereby making clear to everyone around you that harry potter as a brand is so indispensable (and the game in particular so good) that you literally cannot bear to simply not play 1 video game
  4. pat yourself on the back for having done some sort of activism

i don't think this sends the message you think it sends. in fact i think warner bros execs are doing a jig on their boardroom table over getting the kind of advertising they can usually only dream about, for a marginal cost of zero

rowling has incomprehensible amounts of money. the 2¢ she gets from everything that says harry potter on it means nothing to her. she is dangerous because she has cultural power, and you're only reinforcing that when you broadcast how willing you are to play her work as long as you first make the huge personal sacrifice of not paying for it

honestly? it's kind of fucked up that i went to the trouble of going back in time and killing valatrax before his reign of terror could begin, and no one even seems to care

shocked that tumblr would come out in support of maritime piracy, which is a literal crime

"wow there are really people who don't turn their computers off at night?" yeah because my computer is my medium-term memory. i constantly forget what the fuck i am doing but i can look at my computer and there are lots of clues sprinkled everywhere. if i turned it on fresh every morning i would (a) have to spend like half an hour opening way too many things again and (b) effectively have amnesia

someone in the comments on that post is explaining stuff like how you need to reboot to "clear your ram" (????????????) and OP is blocking anyone who responds to say that's nonsense and deleting their comments and i am losing my entire mind

Just to make this explicit: You do not need to clear your RAM. That is not a real thing

actually the healthiest and most responsible thing you can do for your computer is simply not turn it on in the first place

Shocked how many people think you can just turn on a computer and leave it on for weeks or months or years and never turn it off and it'll be fine. Computers need their sleep, and sleep mode does not count

i need to know if everyone on this post thinks they turn tumblr off at night, or thinks tumblr runs on something that isn't a computer

well I disagree with the original post but also I do cycle all of my prod servers every 24 hours and think it's important to do so. Cattle, not pets, you know?

i am not sure i have ever rebooted a server deliberately. it reboots when linode has to move it to another datacenter every couple years. similarly the last time my deskop rebooted was when the power went out and my ups battery was dead. my current uptime is 889 days and 116 days respectively

where is the post saying you have to turn your computer off at night or you're mistreating it. give it to me. i'm already mad about it so i might as well read it

i think when you turn 36 you should become an Adult 2 and unlock a new set of perks. all my votes count double now. i'm allowed to cheat on my taxes. i can rent a car and not give it back

kind of real mad about the vibe in the notes on that last twitter screenshot thing, because it exemplifies exactly what has always horrified me about tumblr culture — the gawking and scrutiny and theorycrafting and endless obsession with socially pressuring everyone into being the right kind of queer. some rando made a joke to their friend, and it was plucked out of mid-conversation in order to make a point that doesn't make sense anyway — you're all on the website best known for banning porn! even if they'd been serious, at worst that person was just saying they don't like it; tumblr is a massive platform and is actively suppressing it

seventy thousand fucking people participating in this while going "see we're the normal ones". sometimes it's like one big junior high lunch table here istg

Twitter LGBTs are so sanitized it’s embarrassing

Why are they like this

hmm well i found the first tweet and it sure looks like the OP is friends with the artist in question, suggesting this might be some sort of "joke" intended for a person they know. let me just check the OP's timeline and see what we've got here

ah

y'all. sometimes, people on twitter say a thing they don't actually believe, for comedic effect. not every tweet is a stonefaced declaration of the poster's entire value system

but now this person's little goof with their buddy has been paraded around in front of 70k+ strangers as some cultural indictment

meanwhile the pic OP is replying to isn't allowed to be posted on tumblr at all!
