Hi Im Vera and I'm homeless

sooooooo yeah since october of last year ive had no income and, after a steady decline in stability due to my mother's domestic abuse, i became homeless as of november. i was staying with my boyfriend (@catcinnabunbun56-blog), but it has become much more of a temporary sanctuary that i must intermittently leave rather than a permanent solution. tonight is my first night in a shelter, but still, i wanna put it out there. i need help. i have made a gofundme to hopefully funnel *literally anything*, but the goal is bullshit. anything helps. please. if yall want your favorite mutual, hypn0slut, cute weirdo, etc, to keep blogging, plsplsplspls check out the gofundme if you cant donate, pls reblog. i love you all uwu

might start an 0nlyf@ns or post my p@yp@l, but yeah, rn, hi im vera and im homeless @thatnonb1ny-cvmslut @goblinbongwater @stuffie4hire @gxdcomplex @girlballs @girlcum-cumdump @girlsmellmuskhuffer @professional-dumb-dumb @hypnoprincessworld @cynthjam @gundamlesbian7274 @wanderingwillowsys @traaansfem @random-jojo-reference @bxsmxth @ali-is-bad @azathoth-the-bored @steampunktomboy @winternimbus @transmechanicus @transgirlsupremacy @transgirlskissing @melonbride @mupapi @enthusispastic @txumxssianfox @lu8na

how has fromsoft not stopped making enormous full-body attack hitbox charges yet. the magma wyrm is such a dogshit enemy especially when you literally aren't able to hit it at all and it's leaving a pool of lava covering half the fucking floor

what the fuck is up with the first gen albinaurics? why are they split between young paralyzed women and incredibly wizened men with withering legs? there's not enough lore on them in-game, just enough to make it confusing as hell. I hope they're explored more in the next dlc. why is one of them Massive and how is she supposed to do anything while seemingly comatose in a church to the far north?

[xenasaur]

they also decided to put 80 fucking phantom dragonkin soldiers just hanging out in the blizzard. y'know. for funsies. it's fun.

consecrated snowfield is so dogshit it's just eleum loyce 2.0

hey miyazaki the impenetrable snowstorm blocking all fucking visibility more than 5 feet out somehow makes this area feel even more fucking empty than it actually is and that's really saying something. awesome enemies btw!

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

Pay attention to the particulars of Mastercard's responses, because this a textbook example of how to create plausible deniability.

"Mastercard has not barred any legal transaction" is, technically, a true statement – because Mastercard is not the one processing the transactions in the first place. Mastercard does not deal directly with any merchant, and in fact typically refuses to communicate with merchants at all; there's always a payment processing service sitting in between Mastercard and the merchant, whether that's Stripe or Paypal or any of dozens of other service providers.

Consequently, there are two layers of service agreements in place: the agreement between Mastercard and the payment processing service, and the agreement between the payment processing service and the merchant. That second layer of service agreements, between the payment processing service and the merchant, is where all of these content restrictions are being imposed. Mastercard can thus truthfully claim that they aren't barring legal transactions.

Now, if you've been paying attention, you've probably already spotted the issue: if the content restrictions are being imposed upon the merchants by individual payment processing services and not by Mastercard, why do all of those payment processing services seem to have exactly the same content restrictions?

That's where the critical sleight of hand comes in: while Mastercard's own terms of service do not require payment processing services to bar transactions of particular types, their ToS does require payment processors to bar transactions which could be damaging to the Mastercard brand. What constitutes damage to the Mastercard brand is not defined; it means whatever Mastercard wants it to mean. The payment processing services are thus in a position where they can be held in breach of Mastercard's terms of service for basically any reason, which gives them a strong incentive not to test any boundaries.

And that's why Mastercard can truthfully say they have never barred any legal transaction: they're never the ones doing the blocking. The layer of payment processing services that sits between Mastercard and the merchants are enforcing those content restrictions, based on a series of unwritten handshake agreements between the payment processors and Mastercard regarding what does and does not constitute acceptable content – and because the particulars of those handshake agreements aren't in writing, Mastercard can assert that their terms of service do not compel payment processing services to bar any legal transaction and technically be telling the truth.

"xyz is marked red on shinigami eyes because they post about transmasc and/or intersex issues"

so close! they're actually marked red because they gleefully regularly participate in the transmisogynistic-harassment and anti-transfeminism fandoms! :)

I was just rewatching it and as I was reading the captions I caught it out of the corner of my eye I was like "hey wait a fucking second that musculature is completely different than it was in the last slide"

its funny, there's stuff like that which I missed bc I looked at the subtitles, then there's narration I've missed (like the narrator explicitly saying the greater will has abandoned the lands between) because I was looking at the pretty art

I gotta pay closer attention to fromsoft opening cutscenes apparently! did any of y'all notice marika turn into radigon in literally the first 2 images of the cutscene? cuz i sure as hell didn't! i was too busy giggling to myself about the upcoming "LOATHSOME DUNG EATER"
