For those like me who def need the help

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

YOU KNOW WHO YOU LOVE

UvU

Bet uvu

support trans people.

pretty please and for those around me lol

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

had a dream that I met a wizard and we fell in love and became unhealthily attached to each other so we decided to meld into one single creature together but the process was horrifically slow and painful and most of the dream was us lying in bed holding hands while lesions opened up in our skin and seeped out blue and green fluid and the wizard said "this is going to take a very very long time" and I said "that's ok"

There is nothing funnier than the fact of my mother is now pissed at me even though i warned her that when i read her a fanfic, that it was a time travel one. Cause now she is listening to the books and it is nowhere near as great as self made reality lasjfldsafljsdf

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

someone needs to make a discord server for when ao3 goes down so we can actively cry at eachother because we were in the middle of reading something and now we are stuck just sitting here waiting for a posted chapter (dont get me wrong i appreciate the volunteers for working so hard to fix it and i am eternally grateful for all of them) and i can only imagine how fast the chat would be going lol

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

reblog this if you’re jewish or your blog is a safe space for jewish people

in light of recent events as well as a new rise in creating nazi ocs I think this post is an important one to have on your blog if you stand behind your jewish followers or are jewish yourself.

to anyone whom it concerns, 

there is a website called archive.org and they have all sorts of stuff (online information, library stuff, textbooks, movies etc)  buuuuuuuuut if you search archiveofourown or a specific tag (i looked up irondad and it did have results) you can see some fics from there, it isnt much but its still nice to be able to feed my mental instability somewhere lol

One day a few years ago i adopted a couple of freshman and even after graduation to this day we still talk even if im chronically allergic to texting lmao 

one of my boys just called and had to make sure he knew he was gonna text me at 1 am on my birthday but missed it and then called when he was at work to make sure, im gonna cry (HES ALSO GETTING MARRIED SOON MY BOOYY) 

and on a funnier note i believe the other might just text happy one year older lmao cause this little turd on my graduation day hands me a starlord pin (im pretty sure he was the one who gave it to me, cause one gave me a starlord pin and the other gave me a deadpool one i loved them both) and he hands me the pin and says congrats your old like the little shit he was 

p.s. if either of you have found this the chairs still my favorite even if i have no idea where it is now lmao

for  my fam and for those who need it 

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

ive been browsing through humans are space orcs and i havent seen this particular thing talked about (might be because its a bit more niche but bigones)

what about that thing of where a human will wait to be told its okay to die.

it’s certainly not light but ive been thinking about it cause my papa recently passed away and he waited until my sister (one of the people he is closest with [for example he had issues sleeping if she had to work the night shift cause he’d stay up to wait for her] and he waited until she said it was ok to finally pass.

how would other species react to a spouse telling a spouse its ok, or a commander telling a soldier its safe, or any other variation you can think of.

what would be the reaction of one waiting to be told its ok to die at this point in time? rather than the you need to stay alive?
