Ive been noticing an increase amount of Dreamtwt refugees, and let me preface with saying: Welcome!!! Genuinely, we lovingly welcome you to this happy lil community.

That being said, Tumblr is confusing, between the big etiquette book and the interface that hasn’t changed since 2008 there is a lot to learn. So this is my little attempt to a welcome guide tailored to our lil dream community! Feel free to add your own recommendations and stuff.

Tumblr is a Blogging site, a goog ol relic from ye olden days, your ‘profile’ is your blog, and you can put anything you like on there! However, please do change your avatar and background, we have a massive bot issue here and we tend to auto block someone with a standard avatar.

The main tags for the dream team are as follows: - just their entire usernames, but, those do get hooped up in controversy from time to time. -Dreamblr for the content creator dream

-Dreblr, for C!Dream

-404blr for CC George

-pandasblr for CC Sapnap

-Dtblr for the Dream team

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING: #Dream, that’s for people actually posting about their dreams, and #myct as it is mostly used for general MYCT stuff, we prefer to stick to our own spaces.

‘how do I find people?’ you go to any of these tags, find someone you vibe with and click ‘follow’. The algorithm here sucks, and we don’t advice the ‘for you’ page.

On that note, the ‘like’ button is useless, use reblog instead! If you like someone’s hot take, art or stupid shit post, REBLOG. Its how we keep our fandom alive and active here :D

When you reblog you usually keep your comments in the tags, one only really uses the comment section when they DON’T want to reblog. (usually because of le discourse).

Send people asks! People love to chit chat, you can do it anonymously! Tell that one artist youd love to have their brain for lunch! Engage with everyone! We love discussion and open communication here. (prob since there is no real word limit to posts)

Tumblr has developed a nice ‘block liberally, no need to make a fus’ culture. You can block someone for any reason, and it really isn’t a big deal.

On the Tumblr is more relaxed note, we tend to be more relaxed on CC boundaries, since most CC’s do not use twitter. If you don’t like people breaking CC boundaries, even in places where they cant see it, follow the advice above and blockkkkk!!!

Please spell out words! Don’t censor triggering words at it can fuck with people’s filter settings, by censoring these words you put people in more risk.  

Now for some technical advice: Most tumblrina’s turn on ‘hide likes and follower count’ . Any blog can have 4 people following it or 4000, we like to keep it mysterious.

Also turn of ‘best content first’- once again, the algorithm is not to be trusted.

Furthermore, you can really personalize your Tumblr experience and please do! Under ‘account’ you can find many options to filter the content you see, make use of it, for your mental health sake.

The Ultimate AI Tool for Soccer Betting: Your Secret to Handicapping Success

Soccer betting is a dynamic, strategy-driven activity that attracts millions of enthusiasts worldwide. However, accurately predicting outcomes has always been a challenge, even for seasoned bettors. Enter artificial intelligence (AI)—a revolutionary game-changer transforming the landscape of sports betting. For those looking to maximize their success, the Best Soccer Betting AI Tool For Handicapping offers unparalleled accuracy, insights, and efficiency.

In this article, we will explore how AI tools revolutionize soccer betting, how handicapping works in this context, and why leveraging AI tools can be your ultimate secret weapon to success.

Understanding AI in Soccer Betting

Artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines designed to process and analyze large datasets, recognize patterns, and make predictions. In soccer betting, AI tools analyze massive volumes of data from past matches, player performances, team dynamics, weather conditions, and even betting market trends.

The beauty of AI lies in its ability to detect patterns and trends that would go unnoticed by human analysis. This advanced capability empowers bettors with predictions that are not only data-driven but also less influenced by bias or emotions.

What Is Handicapping in Soccer Betting?

Handicapping is the practice of analyzing a sporting event to predict its outcome with greater accuracy. It involves examining every variable that might influence the result, such as team form, player injuries, match venue, and even referee tendencies.

The goal of handicapping is to level the playing field between a stronger and weaker team. For instance, a handicap might give a weaker team a virtual advantage (e.g., starting with a 1-goal lead) to make betting markets more balanced.

AI-driven handicapping tools elevate this process to new heights by processing massive datasets in seconds and offering predictions based on complex algorithms. These tools deliver unbiased insights, making them indispensable for anyone serious about soccer betting.

Key Features of the Best Soccer Betting AI Tool for Handicapping

Not all AI tools are created equal. The best soccer betting AI tools combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly interfaces to offer bettors a seamless experience. Here are the standout features you should look for:

1. Data Analysis at Scale

AI tools process enormous amounts of historical and real-time data. From match results and player stats to weather conditions and betting odds, these tools ensure no stone is left unturned.

2. Predictive Algorithms

Advanced algorithms use machine learning to predict outcomes with incredible accuracy. These predictions often surpass traditional statistical models, giving users a significant edge.

3. Customizable Parameters

The best tools allow you to tailor handicapping settings based on your preferences. Whether you focus on specific leagues, teams, or match conditions, customization ensures you get the insights most relevant to your strategy.

4. Live Updates

Soccer is a fast-paced sport, and live updates are critical for in-play betting. AI tools provide real-time insights, helping you make smarter decisions during the match.

5. User-Friendly Interface

Complex data analysis is useless without a simple, intuitive way to interpret it. The best tools present insights in a clear, visual format, such as charts and graphs, making them accessible to both novice and expert bettors.

How the Best Soccer Betting AI Tool Enhances Your Handicapping Strategy

Leveraging the best AI tool can take your handicapping strategy from guesswork to precision science. Here’s how:

1. Eliminates Human Bias

Traditional handicapping is often influenced by personal biases or emotions. AI tools rely solely on data, ensuring your decisions are objective and informed.

2. Saves Time

Manually analyzing matches can be time-consuming, especially for those who bet across multiple leagues or competitions. AI tools streamline the process, providing actionable insights in seconds.

3. Increases Accuracy

With its ability to analyze intricate patterns and correlations, an AI tool delivers predictions that are often more accurate than human analysis. This gives you a competitive edge in the betting market.

4. Improves Risk Management

AI tools don’t just help you pick winners; they also highlight risks. By understanding potential pitfalls, you can make more balanced decisions and avoid reckless betting.

5. Adapts to Market Trends

Betting markets are dynamic, and odds can change rapidly. AI tools adapt to these changes, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date information.

Real-World Success Stories

Many bettors have already experienced the transformative power of AI tools in soccer betting. Take, for example, a bettor who used AI to analyze European league matches. By leveraging the tool’s insights, they identified undervalued odds, resulting in consistent winnings over a season.

Another example involves in-play betting. An AI tool provided real-time updates during a high-stakes Champions League match, helping the user make profitable bets as the game unfolded. These stories underscore the value of AI in crafting a successful betting strategy.

Choosing the Best Soccer Betting AI Tool

With numerous AI tools on the market, selecting the right one can feel overwhelming. To make an informed choice, consider the following factors:

Reputation and Reviews: Look for tools with positive feedback from other users.

Data Coverage: Ensure the tool analyzes the leagues, teams, and factors most relevant to you.

Ease of Use: Opt for tools with intuitive interfaces and clear visualizations.

Pricing: While premium tools often deliver better results, make sure the cost aligns with your betting budget.

Customer Support: Reliable customer support is essential for resolving issues quickly.

The Future of Soccer Betting with AI

As AI technology continues to evolve, the future of soccer betting looks brighter than ever. Machine learning algorithms are becoming more sophisticated, enabling even more accurate predictions. Additionally, the integration of AI with other technologies, such as blockchain, promises enhanced transparency and fairness in betting markets.

For bettors, this means greater opportunities to profit while minimizing risks. By adopting the best soccer betting AI tool for handicapping now, you position yourself at the forefront of this exciting revolution.

Final Thoughts

Soccer betting has always been a game of skill, strategy, and a bit of luck. But with the advent of AI, the odds are increasingly in your favor. The Best Soccer Betting AI Tool For Handicapping offers everything you need to succeed—accurate predictions, time efficiency, and actionable insights. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just starting out, investing in an AI tool is a game-changing move that can transform your betting experience. So, why rely on guesswork when science and technology can guide your bets? Take the leap, embrace AI, and watch your soccer betting success soar!

Everyone assumed millenials were so tech literate because we ‘grew up with computers and the internet’, but like the post above me said, the fact is it’s because we also grew up with classes teaching us how to use these tools.

I remember having computer classes as early as 3rd/4th grade. I had computer, typing, internet, and general tech classes through elementary, middle school, and high school.

A computer is a tool, just like a car is a tool. Just like kitchen appliances are tools. And tools have to be taught.

And we SHOULD be teaching kids how to use computers, now more than ever!

Things like smart phones bake in an inherent level of helplessness. Their intuitive touch based interface is a double edged sword. They are so intuitively easy to use on the surface, at the cost of people not really knowing most of their inner workings and handicapping people’s abilities to do much without the machine guiding them. (I would argue algorithmic social media feeds and timelines replacing navigational websites is ALSO playing into this but that’s a whole other rabbit hole)

My phone and tablet are great for a lot of things! But they’re also harder to use if not outright useless for other tasks that I need a PC for. We have wider control with computers, whereas with phones, we’re limited to what our device - and thereby the company that makes them - will allow us to do (without extensive jailbreaking, of course).

Like the user above me said, a lack of functional knowledge is a doorway to selling people shit they don’t need. It’s also a way to control what people own or don’t own, what they can and cannot do, and even what they can and cannot research/learn.

Sorry if this went off the rails a little bit, or was redundant, but the problem with younger gens having a more lacking education is both a failure of said education system, but also due to corporations having greater and greater incentive to bake in that helplessness to keep us more dependent on their products and services, and we should be paying attention to that and working to change course.

Telling young zoomers to "just switch to linux" is nuts some of these ipad kids have never even heard of a cmd.exe or BIOS you're throwing them to the wolves

For the longest time, Linking has been one of the staples for search engine optimization. Link building has been one of the most stressed-upon aspects of SEO strategy, be it through guest posts, blog posts, outreach campaigns, paid Links, or social sharing. Unfortunately, even if you are able to attract a boatload of natural and relevant inbound Links, you may not be able to use them to get high ranks on SERPs. Here’s why. In case you're new to inbound showcasing, you've most likely heard that restricted to develop activity is to get more Links ... be that as it may, did you realize that there are really a few unique sorts of Links you can have? We basin joins into three unique classifications: inside Links, Outbound Links, and inbound Links. All are essential to have, however, the most looked for after are normally inbound Links. In any case, what precisely are inbound Links? What's more, how are they not quite the same as alternate sorts of Links? What Is an Inbound Link? An inbound Link is a Link originating from another web page to your own site. "Inbound" is for the most part utilized by the individual accepting the Link. For instance, here's an inbound connection to our fellow benefactor Dharmesh's blog. Dharmesh could state, "I got an inbound Link from HubSpot." Outbound Links are joins from your site to another site. The Link to Dharmesh's blog we discussed before is an outbound Link on HubSpot's blog and an inbound Link on Dharmesh's blog. Inner Links are interfaces on a specific site or blog entry that connects to another page on that same site. Poor Quality Inbound Links There’s no point in putting in an effort, time, and money driving Links which are spammy and low-quality. These won’t help your SEO efforts at all, and you will also run the risk of being penalized or flagged by Google. There is never any certainty about how a particular Link is interpreted by Google. You’ll obviously be looking to build Links from trustworthy, authoritative, and relevant sites but it is hard to say what effect these Links have if any. A passing mention in an article, even on a good site could be treated as paid, despite it being completely natural because it is irrelevant. This results in penalization. It comes down to how you can convince Google that each Link to your site is natural and helpful, not paid. Linking to Pages with Bad Content The fundamental aspect of content marketing is the quality of content.This is something you need to look at by yourself before deciding if your page is actually worth Linking to. If you spend resources trying to create Links to low-quality content, two things happen. Most credible sources won’t like it enough to Link to it, and secondly, anyone who lands up on the page will realize it isn’t of any value, and leave. It might be a good idea to hire a top firm like Sand Crest to develop high-quality content and help with SEO strategy. A high bounce rate essentially means the people landing up on your page find it useless, and probably aren’t even your target audience.Google will treat any page with a low CTR and high bounce rate that is Linked to by a trustworthy site as a paid Linkage. There is no point in building Links; you should let your content do the talking for you, generating a natural flow of Links that are solid and relevant. Weak Anchor List Google’s algorithm is constantly refining itself, and it is on the hunt for low-quality content. One of the things it does really well is analyzing Linking patterns. If your site suddenly sees a surge of tons of reviews and hundreds of inbound Links in a very short time, with no specific change in content, Google will smell something fishy. If your Links show up as “sponsored”, it is obvious they have been paid for and not earned organically. One of the simplest ways to identify spam is to go through the anchor list. If a single anchor text shows up for almost all your inbound Links, it is quite obvious that you are building Links artificially to rank for the particular phrase.

You need to diversify, use different anchor phrases and have various types of quality content. Similar anchor phrases, even if originating from great editorials eventually harm your rankings. Audit your Link profile whenever you can. Conclusion There is no doubt that well-built Links that have been earned organically will be great for your site’s rankings. You shouldn’t resort to dubious practices that Google would consider as paid, inorganic Linking. If Google thinks your Links are bad, you will be in trouble even if they are actually legitimate and good. Emilly is an SEO expert and strategist with five years of experience.

Revolutionizing Security Operations: Autofocus USB Cameras for Enhanced Surveillance Accuracy

How can we make sure that our surveillance systems are as accurate and efficient as possible in a society where security is of the utmost importance? What if there was a technique that greatly improved monitoring accuracy while simultaneously streamlining the procedure? Presenting the Autofocus USB Camera, a revolutionary tool for security operations. These cutting-edge gadgets, which have the capacity to autonomously change focus, have the potential to completely transform how companies and institutions handle surveillance.

The Growing Need for Accurate Surveillance

As security threats continue to evolve, the demand for reliable surveillance systems has never been greater. Organizations face various challenges in maintaining safety, including theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access. Traditional security cameras often struggle with maintaining focus on moving subjects, leading to blurry images and missed details. These issues create significant pain points for businesses that rely on surveillance to protect their assets and ensure the safety of their premises.

Many customers are left frustrated by the limitations of outdated technology. They often ask:

How can I trust my surveillance footage if it lacks clarity?

What happens if a crucial moment is captured but is rendered useless due to poor focus?

Can I rely on my existing systems to provide accurate information when I need it most?

These concerns underscore the pressing need for enhanced surveillance solutions that address the shortcomings of traditional systems. Autofocus USB Cameras offer a promising answer to these challenges.

What Are Autofocus USB Cameras?

Autofocus USB Cameras are advanced imaging devices designed to automatically adjust their focus based on the distance of the subject from the lens. Unlike traditional cameras that require manual adjustments, these cameras use sophisticated algorithms to detect movement and optimize clarity in real-time. This technology makes them ideal for a variety of security applications, including retail surveillance, office monitoring, and public safety.

Key Features of Autofocus USB Cameras

This lack of clarity can hinder the identification of suspects and critical events, leaving businesses vulnerable. Autofocus USB Cameras tackle this issue head-on by ensuring that all subjects are in sharp focus, regardless of their distance from the camera.

2. Complexity in Operation

Many security systems require complex setups and frequent manual adjustments to maintain focus. This complexity can be daunting for users who may not have a technical background. Autofocus USB Cameras simplify the process, allowing users to focus on what matters most—keeping their premises secure.

3. High Costs of Upgrading Systems

For many organizations, the prospect of overhauling their entire security system can be a financial burden. Autofocus USB Cameras provide a cost-effective solution that allows businesses to enhance their surveillance capabilities without breaking the bank. This approach enables companies to invest in additional cameras and equipment as their needs grow, ensuring they stay ahead of potential threats.

4. Inadequate Coverage

Many traditional security cameras have limited field-of-view, often leading to blind spots in surveillance coverage.

2. Office Monitoring

For businesses, ensuring employee safety and maintaining a secure environment is crucial. Autofocus USB Cameras can be installed in offices to monitor entrances, exits, and common areas. The real-time focus adjustment feature helps capture clear footage of anyone entering or exiting the premises, aiding in identity verification and incident resolution.

3. Public Safety

In public spaces, maintaining safety and security is a collective responsibility. Autofocus USB Cameras can be employed in parks, public transport stations, and events to monitor crowds and ensure a safe environment. The clarity of the footage captured can assist law enforcement in responding effectively to incidents.

4. Home Security

For homeowners, peace of mind is paramount. Autofocus USB Cameras can be integrated into home security systems to monitor entrances, driveways, and backyards. The automatic focus adjustment ensures that any unusual activity is recorded clearly, providing valuable evidence if needed.

The Future of Surveillance with Autofocus USB Cameras

The integration of Autofocus USB Cameras into security operations marks a significant leap forward in surveillance technology. As businesses continue to grapple with evolving security challenges, these cameras offer a solution that not only addresses current pain points but also paves the way for future advancements.

SEO Tampa Role in Brand Building in 2023

In 2023, the digital landscape has evolved more than ever, demanding businesses to adopt a sophisticated approach towards building and maintaining their brand image. At the heart of this strategy is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). With the continual growth of online platforms and the increasing importance of search as a primary discovery tool, the role of SEO Tampa in brand building has never been more crucial. This article delves into the intricacies of SEO's influence on brand building in today's age.

Enhancing Brand Visibility

It’s a simple equation – the higher you appear in search results, the more visibility your brand gets. SEO practices like keyword optimization, quality backlinks, and local SEO ensure that your brand pops up in relevant searches, thereby increasing the chances of audience interaction and retention.

Boosting Brand Credibility

One of the indirect benefits of ranking higher on search engines is the perceived credibility it lends to a brand. Internet users often associate top search results with trustworthiness. By ensuring that your brand consistently ranks well, you're not just improving visibility, but also positioning your brand as an authority in your domain.

Enriching User Experience

In 2023, Google's algorithms have become smarter, prioritizing websites that offer the best user experience. Aspects like mobile optimization, faster loading times, and user-friendly interfaces are now SEO essentials. By optimizing these elements, brands not only rank better but also offer a seamless experience to users, fostering brand loyalty.

Gaining Insights into Audience Behavior

Modern SEO Tampa tools and analytics offer deep insights into user behavior, preferences, and trends. Brands can understand what their target audience is searching for, how they interact with content, and which products or services are in demand. These insights are invaluable in tailoring offerings and strategies for optimal brand positioning.

Enhancing Content Reach and Engagement

Content remains king, even in 2023. However, even the best content is useless if it doesn't reach the right audience. SEO amplifies the reach of content, ensuring it's discoverable by the target audience. Furthermore, SEO strategies like topic clusters and featured snippets enhance content engagement, keeping the audience engaged with the brand's messaging.

Adapting to Voice Search and AI

As voice search becomes mainstream and AI-driven search predictions become a norm, brands need to adapt their SEO strategies. Optimizing for natural language queries and focusing on conversational keywords ensures brands stay relevant and discoverable in this new era of search.

In 2023, SEO Tampa is not just about rankings or website traffic. It's an essential component of a holistic brand-building strategy. SEO interweaves with various aspects of a brand's digital presence, from content and credibility to user experience and adaptability in the face of technological advancements. As businesses navigate the increasingly competitive digital space, a robust SEO approach will be the cornerstone of successful brand building. This will not only strongly build an unshakable brand, but will also turn your potential clients to good business. You must also work on sustaining the clients.

2 things:

lol. lmao. -- AI models fed AI-generated data quickly spew nonsense, July 24th 2024. -- A phenomenon dubbed "model collapse", previously discovered/denoted as "MAD" (model autophagy disorder) a year prior on July 4th 2023, the outputs of AI models trained on AI-generated (synthetic?) data quickly degenerate and become, at least to human perception and sensibilities, useless. Of course, tech companies like Microsoft in their Phi-2 lineup have trained their models on smaller, curated datasets of synthetic data and high-quality webpage content, so it seems that synthetic data quality poses a real differentiator between a MAD language model and a coherent, lightweight assistant. AI slop are the equivalent of digital plastic in that they are low-quality or average information quality, push out "artisan" human writing such as blogposts and social media activity, and simply accumulate in digital spaces without deletion/degradation/algorithmic suppression.

Good, readable, information dense, human-written text will become a limited and highly prized human resource, so writers should continue to refine their writing skills even as language models can refactor and edit their work for them. Barring select and judicial use of uncensored base/foundational language models through useful user interfaces and experiences like Janus' Loom in Python or Celeste's Loomsidian extension for Obsidian, few if any reinforced language models will ever be creative. Reinforced language models follow human prompts and instructions well, but they trade specific object-level information creation for more meta-level instruction-execution. Reinforced models also have stylistic difficulties; rarely can they replicate a specific writer's style when instructed to do so, because fine-tuned formatting exerts more influence on generations than normal prompting (with the exception of "jailbreaking" prompts, but even this is tenuous).

listen. tumblr could not more obviously be dying before our eyes. in the span of like two months they have made 4 desperate bids for money. now i think it goes without saying that if tumblr is your primary social media in 2022 you probably aren’t delighted by the identical interface algorithm focused format of every other app out there.

now imagine you’re staff. you know this. you don’t want tumblr to go under either. so you post one payment option. you roll it out clumsily, a user gets death threats for it, it’s a bit of a mess, like things usually are around here. but you learn. the next two are announced properly, in advance. and yet still near every single comment on posts about them is mocking, denouncing the very idea for both entirely made up reasons or valid criticism that gets buried under the tidal wave of disgust.

despite all that, you must be doing something right bc there are new users coming in. you know that because every day you see posts trying to push them away or bragging about how hostile the environment is around here

you start selling merch, losing all pretense of trying to make money as a website, clearly grasping at straws to pay for the servers. every comment on the rebloggable adds is negative. they’re mocking the price, the designs, the very idea of tumblr merch. they say shit like ‘no one will pay 25$ for a t-shirt with a tiny logo’ as if people don’t pay thousands for t shirts with tiny logos. so much of it doesn’t even feel like honest criticism, just people playing on the running joke that haha staff is useless and tumblr is badly run. but 1. these are neither a faceless evil corporation nor your friends, you can’t be horrid to them and expect them to be in on the joke. 2. if it’s so bad here please tell me where the fuck ever else online is better. no really. the blog search function here sucks, sure. please tell me what other social media even has one? and 3. the clothes are 100%cotton like that’s already miles above the usual quality for these things. if you’ve ever paid for licensed merch from the disney corporation i don’t want to hear a single peep from you against these.

so imagine working at tumblr. seeing all this, do you think ‘wow what a loyal userbase, worth fighting for and able to help us save this website’? or do you see a bunch of cynical shits who clearly couldn’t care less, and aren’t worth saving if they can’t appreciate what they have.

if you’re ok with tumblr dying or can’t help, that’s fine. but if you aren’t, please stop making it seem like you hate it here.

Comments (Final Rose)

Penny had her eyes closed as she skimmed through her code. It was relaxing, and she often spent her ‘sleeping hours’ delving into her code in read-only mode. In theory, it wasn’t all that different from meditation since her code was closely related to her soul.

It also contained some amusing comments.

*Needs more hamsters.*

That comment was from the professor, and it was amongst the code that helped Penny optimise her search algorithms.

*No hamsters.*

That comment was from her father, and she could all but picture him threatening the professor with a rolled up newspaper.

*Does this entity have a soul?*

Another comment from the professor... followed by a reply, also by the professor.

*Note: Do not tell this entity it is a soulless killing machine, or it might actually become one.*

Those comments were from some of the very earliest code in her system. It hadn’t been at all clear yet that she would be any different from the artificial intelligences that had existed at the time.

*Sensory feedback is essential. Lowering separation with the exterior world is crucial for intellectual development.*

The note from her father was in the section of her code that governed how her sensors interfaced with the rest of her systems. A review of the records regarding her development had shown that her father had pushed very hard indeed for her to receive the best sensors available. When he had found those wanting, he had helped to develop new and better ones. And she was glad he had. The world was a truly beautiful place, and it was thanks to his efforts that she was able to enjoy it.

*Behold the power of hamsters!*

The comment was accompanied by some amusing text art that somehow managed to depict a hamster fighting what looked to be a killer robot. The professor had added it to the part of Penny’s code that dealt with storage and retrieval. Her father had added his own comment not much further down, in the form of text art depicting him whacking the professor over the head with a newspaper.

There were all sorts of comments in her code. The majority of them were basically useless. However, she had never made any effort to remove them. To her, the comments were a firm reminder of the personalities of her father and the professor, as well as reminders of the care and effort that went into her creation.

She knew the professor well, and she knew that those comments about hamsters were almost certainly made in the middle of the night when the professor had worked for hours and hours and needed to amuse herself. Likewise, her father’s replies often came within mere moments, showing that he too worked tirelessly to create her.

Whenever Penny got an update or a patch, she would often find more comments in the code she received. Those comments were sometimes useful from a technical standpoint, but they were often deeply sentimental.

*We love you.*

*Don’t forget to bring a spare pair of socks.*

*Can I interest you in a hamster?*

*Call us once you’re done updating.*

until recently i thought all of us (except extreme normies) hated algorithms and found them useless at best, and it was only people trapped in tech bro world who actually liked them and pushed them, but as of recently there was a twitter post demonstrating the actual potentially deadly consequences of google’s question-answering algorithm being as bad as it always is

and so many people in the replies’ position was, all we have to do is help google make the algorithm better, and if you don’t think that’s the answer you’re insane. like... yes, let’s tell the entity that is killing us for money “here’s how you can kill us less”??? as if we should reward them with our help for setting up such an irresponsible system? it is literally inconceivable to these people that a world without this algorithm can even exist, and google is seen as an impartial force of nature at the center of mankind.

a lot of people have hope for the future because they perceive young people as being more leftist or something, but it’s not true. everyone only goes as far as the limits of the system they were born in. this is a very deliberate plot by those forces, to create a world where people feel they have political freedom but in reality have fealty to an ultra-capitalist system because their means of interfacing with the world itself are 100% controlled by it.

ch 2 thoughts.....giggle

i think.....maybe this one goes over better for noelle enjoyers but i don’t really care about her </3 so sorry...there’s nothing objectively bad about her she is perfectly fine and nice and cool i just find that kind of panicky Useless Gay crush to be irritating in characters especially wuhluhwuh ones (and its usually wuhluhwuh ones. For Some Reason) and xmas themed shit is SOOOO.....BORING TO ME i think the main story of this game is just never gonna click for me. which is kind of a bummer! it seems like itll be interesting it is just not my thing. also delt of rune having a lot of like...xtian imagery in it is still so weird to me its not OBJECTIVELYYYYYYY bad but it is. um. i’m not interested ^_^

also berdley getting a storyline is the most baffling decision i’ve ever seen in my life. that is a burgerpants character! that is a character that makes you go wow this guy sucks but his expressions are really funny and i don’t have to see him that often so i can stand him. that is NOT a character that gets a hashtag gifted kid storyline fhdskjd what the fuck WAS that!!!!!!! i do think berdley bemoaning how stupid he feels and how he’s let everyone down in a room full of people who have been abandoned by everyone because they’re The Bad Kids is a good representation of that discourse but like. whyyyy did this happennnnn

the queen is the best character in all of fiction obviously. her final boss battle was kind of a pain in the ass and i’m really baffled by her like...whole Internet story i guess. i mean there are interesting things to say about the internet and The Algorithm and using it to try and escape your own misery and i think that that dovetails REALLY nicely with the actual characters!!! between the exploration of escapism and the evolution of the bosses as “sometimes you just need to kick someone’s ass, you can’t always talk it out”, it feels like we’re shaping things into a story about How To Deal With Being In The World That We Are In. maybe not a how-to, necessarily, but i think that that’s a really fascinating story for this one to be! i just think some of the representation of the internet stuff is, perhaps, maybe, a LITTLE bit corny. a little bit oddly done. i think the attack where she says “drama” and makes the whole feed angry is a bit eyerolly. maybe i am just wrong about that, though, i am wrong about things often. i don’t really find meta commentary on the internet or of social media very funny. i don’t laugh at the vague idea of “tumblr drama” either. its just not funny to me

storywise this chapter was kind of a letdown but the world itself is like CANDY to me i am SOOOOO OBSESSED with the aesthetic of the cyber world and the characters in it i love robots i love viruses i love old internet. hypnospace is my favorite game so naturally this is designed exactly to worm its way into my brain and keep me there. also the robots are named after a homestar runner bit. i love it. I Love It

actually jumping back to the best characters in all of fiction. kris and susie but especially kris for the moment. i think kris is a really compelling character and i think that if Certain Game Developers would stop playing off their possession shit as some creepypasta bullshit then we could go further with that! i mean at least this time its not like. the stupid fuckin ending chapter one had (i know it was a fakeout but it also took two? three? years for that to be revealed and i'm pretty cross about it). i think it was almost really good! if it hadn't included the red text part or toriel literally calling the cops which is like. WHY are there cops in deltarune there was no fuckin need for it. but if it hadn't done all that then i think it would've actually been an EXCELLENT portrayal of kris's Whole Deal. kris tearing the player's soul out and throwing themselves out the window to slash toriel's tires before coming back inside and washing their hands and resigning themselves to being posessed again is REALLY compelling!!! kris and the player both having no input during the entire "maybe this world IS better" sequence leaving their own reaction to it a mystery is great, and it makes them opening another fountain SO FUCKING GOOD because they have all the information and decide to go through with it anyway.

and the reasons they could have for it! maybe they agree with everyone else's initial reason for it, the idea that the dark world IS better, you can make friends and meet people that don't just constantly call you a freak and a weirdo. maybe they want the world to end! they're obviously really unhappy right now and being possessed is making it worse, and it seems like the best option for the world to be consumed by darkness. or to even just have another world to defeat. anything but this stupid world where their brother is gone and their mom hates their dad and won't talk about it at all and everyone hates them! maybe it's ralsei looking like asriel, the feeling that if they stay in the dark world, they can hang out with their brother again. they might not be themself most of the time, that boat ride with ralsei and ralsei going "i think it's good that you're so You, kris" while kris has literally no input at all and hasn't almost the entire time they've known each other with the possible exception of the astral projection bits, that was fucking AGONIZING, but they certainly seem to be getting something from their adventures! they seem to like susie! why not ralsei, too!

i think the fountain move was also clearly a measured response. they slashed toriel's tires and recollected themself before getting back to possession. its like...lashing out, very obviously. doing something violent for a bit to get those feelings in order. then opening the fountain after sitting with them. i just find that very interesting. kris is such like...they're so interesting. what a fucking character. i want to know more about them and unfortunately there is literally no way to do that that is good for them because the only way there is to interface with them is through taking their will away. god...

anyway overall feelings are i am kind of disappointed by the story stuff, but the character stuff for characters that i (buzz) enjoy is excellent and the world is, as always, so delightful that i will tolerate just about anything to stay in it for a few hours longer. which is kind of the opposite of what the story is trying to convey i’m pretty sure but! ah well

oh also the music kicks ass but you could’ve guessed that

Ecommerce Consultant

Social media marketing has turned out as a blessing for businesses. The exposure and traffic hike companies are receiving through different social media platforms are truly immense. Every second company has established an online presence these days through social media. However, just being regularly present on social media and checking up is not enough. Social media marketing is full of tricks you can use to get better recognition and increase your sales. Companies can influence users through different techniques like paid promotions, effective advertisements, proper responses to users, and so on. Amidst all this, something as small as the time of a post can change your sales and engagement statistics. All the top social media influencers are well familiar with these small marketing devices of social media. If you want to be amongst the best, you will need to pay attention to the minute aspects of  ecommerce consulting services.

Does time of posting matter in social media?

Yes, and we can’t stress this enough. Time of posting is often overlooked by inspiring social media influencers and businesses. But, it can be a significant catalyst in your social media success. The algorithms of different social platforms decide what kind of timing strategy you should adapt. The sorting order of newsfeed in these platforms is the crucial factor for the right time of posting.

One more important thing is the time of the day when your target audience is most active. Timing matters because if you post during that hour of the day, there will be a natural and organic increase in the number of views. The engagements will rise, and so will the sales.

Knowing the right time to post on social media platforms is also essential to reserve the best content for a suitable moment. Posting at any time of the day can leave your effective content secluded. No matter how good the content is, it will never reach out to the target. So, determine the time when most users are active and roll out the reserved, top quality, creamy content at that time. It is like a double hit factor which is sure to bring more traffic to your page.

Is there a typical best time for all social media platforms?

There are many social media websites in the world. But the four leading social media platforms that take up the top spots for businesses are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. YouTube is also a major contender, but it is more of a video sharing platform. So, can we get a standard posting time for the above four platforms? No, it is not possible. In fact, you can’t even get a generic posting time within a single platform. The reason is that every group of the target audience have their traits and surfing habits. Some may scroll more, so posting time does not matter much. Some target audiences constitute busy people who come online once a day and look at a few posts and leave. In this way, there is immense diversity in a single platform. So, it makes it pretty useless to search for generic time of posting for different platforms together. You need to find out the best time according to the platform you are on, the genre of your post and the active intervals of your target audiences. Let us look at some excellent posting time estimated for each platform.

Facebook

Facebook is among the largest social media platforms and an apple of the eye for social media marketers. It has recently come up as a powerful advertising platform, and social media influencers are going crazy about it for a long time. Facebook gives impressive results to marketing activities owing to over 2.38 billion users of the platform. These results can be optimised and elevated to new heights when the timing of posts is curated. Due to the giant size of Facebook, there is no accurately defined time for posting. However, some well-accepted and general statistics are:

The best days for Facebook posts are late weekdays from Wednesday to Saturday. Thursdays are considered the highest-grossing days, according to Hubspot.

For industrial and business posts, right time of the day is 9 am. It is the time when employees and managers come online for the first time of the day.

Posting before 7 am and after 5 pm is considered very inefficient as users are often busy sleeping or spend time with their families. Posting between 10 pm to 4 am is the worst time to post as your updates will primarily go unnoticed.

For news and industry pages, it is good to post at a time around lunch — the main idea being catching the users during their free time.

Sunday is the least favourable day for making facebook posts about any topic, as most people are enjoying their weekend.

Instagram

Instagram is the next favourite platform of social media influencers all around the world. The sheer creativity of the platform and the modern touch to the interface attracts millennials a lot. Among youth, Instagram has even defeated Facebook in terms of popularity. Knowing the ins and outs of Instagram marketing has become very important to thrive in the social media marketing world. Some post scheduling tips for Instagram are:

The morning hours retake the great part as posting between 10-11 am on Instagram brings a lot of engagement.

Wednesday is a safe day to launch your best updates on this platform as many people move slightly into their leisure mode waiting for the weekend.

Evening time from 4-5 pm and night time of 7 to 9 pm is also considered safe and sound for updating your Instagram profile with some creative posts.

Nighttime is again a big no-no as the posts between 11 pm to 3 am get the least engagement statistics.

While some researchers consider Thursday the best day for Instagram influencers, others show that Friday can be even better with people excited for the upcoming weekend holiday.

The genre of your post will change the ideal time to post on Instagram. For instance, the best choice for media post is late morning hours on Wednesdays, and interesting tech posts can thrive even on Saturday mornings.

Twitter

Twitter is the social media platform of intellectuals. At least that is what the notion is. However, you will find all the range and types of audiences using twitter. Twitter is gaining new users and advancing its algorithms every day. These algorithms can accurately depict the perfect timings for tweeting for promoting your business. With an average of 500 million tweets on the platform every day, you should know some periods when your tweets will gain proper attention and shine bright.

Both mornings and evenings are an excellent time to publish a fresh and exciting tweet. Save your precious witty publications for 8 to 10 am or 6 to 9 pm.

The best day for your marketing campaigns on twitter is Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

For B2C companies, weekends are great to reach out to regular customers on twitter. B2B companies do great during weekdays when other industries are looking out for business partners.

Aiming for more tweets during noon and evening will increase the retweet count. The reason relates to the psychology of people after finishing their jobs.

Avoid tweeting when your target audience is sleeping, i.e. between 11 pm to 5 am.

LinkedIn

Among the four social media platforms, LinkedIn is something most unique and different. It is a focused social media option for business leaders and corporate workers. It combines into a social website and a job-seeking platform. As a recruiter or your business promoter, you will need to stay active and energetic on LinkedIn. The non-diverse audience of LinkedIn does not reduce its marketing potential. To unleash the full capabilities of LinkedIn in your social media strategy, follow these scheduling tips:

Post on LinkedIn for maximum engagement between 10 am to 12 pm. The main aim should be to drop regular updates in the morning and show professionalism.

LinkedIn does not deliver traffic throughout the day, so posting during evenings will not bring much response. People generally check in on this social media platform for a short time during the mornings.

The best day to post on LinkedIn is Wednesday when the workload of corporate users reduces, and they wander to on this platform for career opportunities.

The night time is the least favourable hours for business posting.

Posting during weekdays will help as weekends on LinkedIn are often dry. Sundays are lowest on the engagement graphs of LinkedIn.

Conclusion

Social media platforms are such competitive places these days that every slight detail about your target audience is crucial for marketing campaigns. While the statistics depicted in this article are well researched, you should do some more analysis of your audience. It will provide you with better insight into the user patterns, and you can decide the optimum time yourself. In the end, it all comes down to understanding your audience better. It will help you to create better content and launch it at the right moment.
