It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in

It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.

Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.

They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

Yes, because if they agree and back down their thoughts turn to the stunt crew, to animators, to costume designers, to interns, to PAs, to extras, to everyone they exploit in some way or another. They are terrified of what might happen next. Of the outcome will be in OTHER industries such as the gaming industry.

love is real and worth it and SO important to me it’s pretty much my entire political spiritual philosophical deal………you can be critical of how romantic love is commodified and dominated by heteronormative myths for sure but ppl out there like “love is fake” aren’t doing ANYTHING interesting or subversive……love is revolutionary bc the systems that oppress us are directly opposed to all kinds of love, interpersonal love and self love etc. they’re trying to drive it out of us. love as an action love as a choice love as something u cultivate and tend to is the best thing in the world and it’s at the absolute centre of my life

Wait wait it just occurred to me. Rience a) first saw Jaskier performing Burn Butcher Burn at the tavern with zero context, knew that he was mad at Geralt but didn’t know why b) never realized who Yennefer actually was (went to Kaer Morhen instead of following her) and c) saw her again at Melitele’s temple with Geralt

Conclusion: Rience 100% connected the dots himself/thought Jaskier and Geralt had a falling out because Geralt was sleeping with his wife. Essentially

God Damn you are 100% right.

I love that Tumblr is actually a community. Your blog will be quite poor and boring if you only post your own stuff. Most of our blogs contain countless reblogs and discussions with other people on the website. This is communication and appreciation of each other’s creativity, thoughts, sketches and etc. It’s one thing to mindlessly like tons of photos a day like TikTok and Instagram offer you, and another to reblog and add hashtags and some comments about how the post made you feel or what you think you could add to a joke, a headcanon, an au, a story, an art… It makes this hellsite feel genuine.

I stopped posting maybe 2 years ago? A year? 3 years? Idek but I’m back here and honestly you're right

everyone is reblogging this and adding stuff along the lines of “this is me when i read fanfic at 3 am” when the context of this was a reddit post about a woman who kept getting abortions to fuel her breeding fetish while not having to actually raise a kid so i do not think that is you actually

Reminds me of that one lady on Memebase I saw when I was 11 who said she wanted to keep getting pregnant and then have an abortion at the end of her first trimester and put the potato-sized fetus in a jar, and keep doing that until she had a closet full of fetuses in jars, and then she’d finally have a baby to full term and when that kid got in trouble she’d send them into the fetus closet for an hour as punishment

Story idea:

The protagonist is a young woman without much going for her, who somehow ends up in a scam in which she'll impersonate a local rich isolated weirdo's previously unknown daughter in order to get adopted and inherit him.

She's 100% sure there's no fucking way that this will work, but as soon as she shows up he's like "ah, of course, I remember nothing about your mother but you look just like her" and takes her in.

The dude is really fucking weird but treats her well, and after a while she begins to trust him, and feel bad about planning to betray him. She begins to help him clear out his old creepy hoarder house mansion, and actually convinces him to start using the money he's been sitting on into useful things, including donating to the social program that helped her survive her teens.

She tries to keep her distance, but despite of being born into so much wealth that he's completely out of touch with normal peoples' reality, he's been so damn nice that eventually she confesses the whole scam.

He, too, has a confession - it turns out that he had his testicles entirely removed in 1994, he's known all along that there's absolutely no way at all that he has biological children, but at his age he had started to regret that his lack of practical social skills has prevented him from having friends or starting a family, so when she showed up on his doorstep he just went

Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”

A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.

Capitalism is so exhausting

This is insane.

Capitalism is so innovative /s

Hi!  Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass?  Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?

Step 1: Open Notepad.

Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the --- that caps either end of it. --- Dim objResult Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Do While True   objResult = objShell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}")   Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop --- Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.

What does this do?

This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant.  This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldn’t affect most things that you’re doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things you’re doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging.  As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.

Damn, Tumblr back at it. Now we got coders coming in to save the day.

Tumblr’s collective hate for capitalism is astounding every time but damn if I don’t love it

For all my call center readers.
