WhatsApp just dropped a Cool New Feature to boost User Security!

Are you a WhatsApp user? I use it a lot, for business, for my social and community work and for fun too. I have hundreds of WhatsApp groups, that allow me to communicate right away with many people. It is cool and easy and it made my life easier. Even though I’d prefer to reduce the number of groups I’m in. The main reason for choosing WhatsApp as a communication tool is because it is…

Why is the Noa/Mae ship bothering people?

"He's an ape and she's a human." - Okay, and? Are real apes and humans going at it?

"It's weird." - Again, no REAL animal or human is involved. Also this is tumblr. If you have been here long enough or a while, I know you have seen weirder.

"It's clogging up the kotpota tag." - It's actually not. Even if it is you can literally scroll and ignore. You don't have to engage with it. Also there is this wonderful thing called blocking tags.

You are the problem. You are clogging up the tags with your constant judgment, purity culture rhetoric and Anti bullshit. Ignore it. It's that easy.

And go fuck yourselves.

Has anyone managed to use the CCPA (or GDPR?) to force Mailchimp to cough up a list of all the mailing lists you've been nonconsensually added to?

y’all know that @/gazavetters is using and vetting AI generated content, right? and you still don’t think this whole thing is a scam?

Legitimate internationally recognised organisations exist and are working to aid Palestine such as The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and Save The Children and many others, that are able to turn your donations into concrete actions.

This sure looks legitimate huh. Links to the posts in these screenshots so you can see for yourselves:

I wrote a short little piece on Kunikida and Fyodor’s possible dynamic if Fyodor were to ever join the agency, and it was cute, but I didn’t post it because the themes and dialogue was all over the place.

I’m going to start from the bottom up, breaking down both of their flaws and strengths and thinking about where they both intersect and contrast each other, before I get to rewriting it.

Yes, Dazai is Fyodor’s near perfect foil but. Have you all considered the exceptional foil that Kunikida would be for fyodor?

Fyodor, like the azure king, is a great example of who Kunikida could become if his ideals were irrevocably broken; I could absolutely imagine a world where Kunikida used his own extremist principles to not only control his but also others lives.

Kunikida, like Dazai, represents the humanity that Fyodor sorely lacks and proves the inherent failure and hypocrisy in Fyodor’s isolation and theory-addled mind; I could imagine a world where Fyodor was on the side of good, having been surrounded by all of the positive things humanity + abilities can do.

In conjunction to these contrasts, they’re both governed by their inflexible ideals and have an all-or-nothing relationship with perfection.

One thing I really want to explore with this piece is the idea that Fyodor is highly empathetic, whereas Kunikida is not vs. the idea that Kunikida is highly sympathetic, whereas Fyodor is not.

I haven’t ever agreed with the idea that Fyodor is unempathetic, ever. A complete lack of empathy would suggest that Fyodor doesn’t understand other’s emotions, because he absolutely does, which is why he’s such a good manipulator. (He mostly doesn’t share other’s emotions, however, so the better term for what Fyodor has might be emotional intelligence?)

Whereas Kunikida lacks a bit of emotional intelligence(therefore lacking the ability to perfectly understand others emotions; therefore lacking empathy), but feels so much compassion and sympathy for others. I feel like people get on Kunikida’s ass so much for being short-tempered with Dazai, when really it’s a combination of Kunikida’s emotional callousness, and Dazai being really aloof and instigating. Kunikida loves his coworkers so much. He may not understand them intuitively, but Kunikida would sacrifice everything if only to save Dazai and everyone in the ADA if he had to.

I want to pit Kunikida and Fyodor against each other and watch debree fly as Fyodor constantly psychoanalyzes Kunikida and exploits his insecurities while Kunikida disarms Fyodor with his brutally honest jabs and unwavering kindness.

(Neither would fold to each other—it’d be a situation where Fyodor is constantly clocking Kunikida only for Kunikida to get more and more hurt and angry until he leaves—dumps home made food on Fyodor’s doorstep, immediately clocks fyodor harder than the former has throughout the entire conversation, and leaves to let fyodor deal with those revelations.)

I've been thinking a lot about the whole ai art situation and why it bothers me so much.

Many ai supporters that I've seen online or unfortunately met in person claim that ai art is improving society by democratizing art.

Through the power of ai art is now easy, free, and can no longer be monopolized by money grubbing artists demanding payment for a useless luxury. Ai bros think its fine to feed our work into midjourney or whatever because they feel that art and by extension artists aren't important or valuable. Artist are beneath them and do not deserve money or respect for their work therefore it is ok and even commendable to steal art.

Idk where I'm going with this I think I'm mostly just salty that every social media site I use has been completely compromised by some form of ai data scraping.

turning off anonymous asks temporarily because I'm sick & fuckin' tired of spambots

not that I get asks regularly anyway but whatever, the point stands. I'm so tired of reporting spam and blocking. it's never-ending every day multiple times a day. call me heartless but I truly do not care anymore. this site is the only minor luxury of escape I have from the personal shit I deal with in my day to day life. I'm protecting my own headspace.

Your Muse's greeting methods; insp.

Hostile: Those who have hostile relations with Copperhead are lucky if they get a warning hiss let alone a verbal greeting. His body language screams imminent attack, hood flared and claws unsheathed for any potential fights. If he deigns to speak at all, Copperhead will be painfully blunt, asking what the person wants. Regardless of threat level, his gaze will be locked on them, making it obvious that whatever reason they have speaking to him had best be said, and quickly.

Neutral: Neutral relations will usually be quietly addressed by their name or title (if known, otherwise hello will suffice). Copperhead will be polite but aloof, speaking little and only replying when necessary. He'll usually speak this way to newcomers, be they people he's heard of or complete strangers, leaving little to be gleaned by more observant onlookers.

Friendly: Relaxed when it comes to friendly relations. Copperhead will immediately become more talkative, watching the person with none of the intensity as he would with somebody hostile. He's engaged, interested in what they have to say, welcoming them to a cup of tea if at his residence even. There's a hint of a smile in his face, the snake-man leaning closer depending on the comfort levels of both people. He'll speak openly at this level, allowing tone to slip into his speech to sound more personable and even affectionate depending on closeness.

Romanced: Romanced partners are regarded with the same soft politeness as he'd address strangers but with much more reverence. Copperhead will commonly refer to his romance interest/s with terms of affection, calling them his love (or mi amor in Spanish, which becomes more frequent the longer the relationship goes on). Lovers are greeted with a gentle nuzzle and a kiss, clearly having missed the comfort of their touch, their warmth.
