If you're applying for office jobs and you're lying about being proficient in Excel (which you always should bc nobody knows anything and google is free) a handy video to give you the basics on Excel's functionality is Joel Sposky's You Suck at Excel Video. It's about an hour long and gives you enough background info to know what people are talking about when referring to Excel, and from there you can do your own further research. There are also handy little guides and notes people have taken on the presentation that go over the highlights here and here <3

Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

I recently discovered laundry stripping and y’all, no matter how much of a crock of shit you think fast fashion is, you’re underestimating.

IF YOU’RE READING THIS I NEED YOU to go to neocities.org and make an account.

It’s an emergency. Look. People are really getting into it now. Do you want to be the last kid on your block still depending on corporate social media for your self-actualization?

PSA

If you are in the US and do your taxes, use the official IRS site for free filing!

Many companies will advertise free filing and then claim you have deductions or needs that require their paid solutions, and they will not tell you until the end of the process when you are exhausted and want it to be over. These ones are fully free and approved by the IRS!

Save yourself money and stress.

saw an anime piracy post with links i didn't like, so i'm creating my own - updated 2023/3/25

as always use an adblocker everywhere you can, preferably ublock origin on pc, if youre on mobile you can use adguard (both android/ios) or firefox nightly with ublock (android only)

anime streaming - a majority of these sites pretty much function the same, especially for newer shows - animepahe.ru - my personal favorite, with adblock it Just Works - 9anime - the old classic, has a huge library and still works perfectly - gogoanime - another old classic, most other streaming sites steal their rips from here directly

manga reading - tachiyomi - android front end that aggregates all sources into an easy to use app, highly recommend. there's also tachidesk for pc, though i personally have not used it. all the below sites also exist as tachiyomi extensions - mangadex - the classic, has pretty much all scanlation content out there, servers are very stable now compared to years ago - dynasty-scans - the go-to for yuri content - mangasee - my personal favorite for officially licensed content, ad free!

visual novels - this section focuses on direct downloads, but for vns especially, i greatly prefer torrenting - ryuugames - has lots and lots of porn, but also has almost every other vn here too, has link shorteners, my preferred dl source is onedrive - erogedownload - older site, doesn't have everything and has downloads split across 200mb files - gog-games - though not explicitly visual novel-centric, many vns are published on gog and are available to download here, along with the bonus gog goodies

torrenting/other bonus things under the cut

anime/manga/vn torrenting - this method is preferred over direct downloads/streaming if you can help it - for starters, you definitely need to use a vpn for this, if you are unsure what to use r/vpn has a really detailed provider comparison table, i personally recommend mullvad, though - you will also need to use a torrent client in order to download content, use qBittorrent for pc and flud for android - nyaa.si - has most content out of anything, your go-to site, if you are looking for official manga add "digital" to your search - sukebei - nyaa sub-site that contains any r18 content, most visual novels are here instead

light novels - admittedly, i am not as familiar with lns, but here is what i've used/seen around - novelupdates - my personal go-to, does not host links themselves - webtoepub - converts websites into downloadable epubs, works with ao3 as well

raws - itazuraneko - your best bet, has manga/light novels/visual novels/movies/japanese subtitles for anime, also features japanese guides - bszip - another source i use infrequently, has manga/light novels/magazines

syncing - if you like tracking your watching/reading with sites like mal/anilist/etc - malsync - browser extension that despite its name, works with mal/anilist/kitsu/simkl - taiga - windows app that works for downloaded anime, also contains a built in torrent tracker

additional links - i personally can't vouch for all of their items, but thewiki.moe and their catalog theindex.moe both are invaluable resources, with tons of sites and feature filtering
