Reblog To Make It Die Faster

i had a bad day and cried watching the new dnp video but felt weirdly reassured by Phil wearing his We're All Doomed migraine hat

like yes its absolutely okay to be in pain and turn to things that comfort you

why tf are they inspiring in literally every way

idk what i read thinking when i made this

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I scroll social media to see pain and suffering and solidarity and love and I feel this deep intense guilt that I cannot make it all go away. I sit in my room and cry or spend my lunchtimes next to a whiteboard trying desperately to find a way to fix it all because I can I know I can but I can't. I can't because there will always have to be sacrifices. I can't because people will always get hurt and I believe in the greater good but I also believe in the lesser good and I feel the responsibility for it. I know ever detail if pain I have vomited it to memory like a sacred flame. It whispers that I am to blame. for not doing enough to fix it. I am far smarter than most and I could with enough time and a big enough whiteboard, find a way to fix it. but I am 16. and I too have details. teachers I don't want to bother, school trips to go on, exams to study for.

I'm trying. I will figuit out. I just need more time and a big enough whiteboard.

Poll: The 4 Gs of Dan and Phil/The Phandom 💅⚫🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤓

Answer the poll

Hi! I am a data nerd, so I've been curious about the 4 Gs ever since I found out about them.

I wanted to make a survey in Tumblr to find out more about them, but there's no option to be able to select multiple options, so I've made a 1-question poll with Microsoft forms! Select all the options that apply to you.

Please fill it out so that we can understand more about our community! There's also an option for none of the above - if this applies to you, please share something about your self in the comments!

Please share this link around!

To quote Dan: "There are the four Gs of the Dan and Phil demographics: the girlies, the goths, the gays and the geeks. You could be any one of those things and think Dan and Phil, I am welcome there. They are like me. They would accept me. I can be in their comments section and people would like me for who I am." Source

gagging you with our red string of fate to shut you up for one fucking second

About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.

It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.

So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.

So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.

Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.

The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.

... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.

Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.

Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.

And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.

free him 🤕
