If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

“Please oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you don’t you’re evil!”

Freeloader Comin’ through!

We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).

And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.

Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.

Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker. 

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

Reblogging to save my life

saving a life

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

not the coquettes literally reinventing nazi phrenology on tiktok

Yeah just a heads up. If you start judging people by bodyshape in any way I'll kick you right in the teeth. Have fun describing someone's face shape as inferior when your jaw is gone

Somehow a rather divisive fruit...

Pineapples—the fruit that come with the age old question: do they belong on pizza?

Welp, either way Asmodeus enjoys eating them a lot before doing...certain activities, but the one who truly loves pineapples is Satan :) Make sure to put LOTS on his pizza, he'll be soooo happy, trust me :))))

POV: you went to a cat cafe with Satan but all the cats ended up only cuddling with him so you swore revenge

thinking about lucifer and how badly he’d crumble if you held him. like, let him lay his head on your chest while you rub circles into his scalp and rub his back and massage his shoulders. he tears up, hiding his face as he nuzzles into your chest. he doesn’t want you to see but a couple of stray tears don’t go unnoticed. he’ll relax into your touch practically becoming dead weight on top of you. he’ll fall asleep fast and hard and will deny that he snores.

or, interrupting his work at like 2am, him probably six hours deep into paperwork, sitting at his desk. gently cupping his face and telling him he’s too good for this. too good for all the endless, tedious paperwork. too good for all the stress and the headaches. just holding his face and letting him sink into your touch. watching his face relax and his shoulders drop as he lets out a sigh of relief.

please i will never find love until this man becomes real.

I was thinking about the controversial characters and why they were disliked by a portion of the fandom and how funny it is how wildly different the reason people don’t like Solomon is compared to the other controversial characters, Belphie and Lucifer.

Lucifer: A powerful demon that threatened to kill you multiple times, attempted to kill you multiple times and behaved very condescendingly.

Belphie: A powerful demon that manipulates you into freeing him, kills you, then tries to kill you again after you come back and acts like a spoiled child.

Solomon: A powerful human who teaches you magic, saves your life, forges a pact with another character while said character is intoxicated, and acts like a strange fellow.

One of these things is not like the other~
