“nonbinary people are just confused” YOURE DAMN RIGHT IM CONFUSED. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHATS GOING ON ANYMORE. WHO THE FUCK IS THIS XEHANORT GUY AND WHY ARE THERE FOUR OF HIM
Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren’t about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal
somewhere in this beautiful world there is a man who sounds like Paulie Walnuts because he learned English by watching the Sopranos
finding out that ‘dont treat me rough treat me really niceys” is an actual lana del rey lyric and not just a funny meme phrase was damaging enough to my psyche
but then i looked up the lyrics and not only is that line directly after the lyric “drugs, suck it up, like vanilla icies” (rhyming niceys with icies) but also the first line of the song is “my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola”. ms del rey this is disastrous what are you doing
HAD to go and dig for the quote. “sex is the friction of a piece of gut and, following a sort of convulsion, the expulsion of some mucus.” marcus was just being reductive, but purrp takes his analysis one step further: he correctly identifies that sex is stupid
how can civilisation be in decline when social media abounds with philosophers greater than Marcus Aurelius
that post about kim kitsuragi only looking cool because he’s standing next to harry seriously changed my read of his entire character. like he actually is just a weird nerd who finally gets to experience being cool because his partner is the most fucked up guy alive
your nerdy pilot cosplay starts looking a whole lot cooler when you’re walking around with a guy whose pants have visibly been pissed in at least once
kim on his own: quiet nerdy glasses guy who wears old clothes and only cares about his car
kim when he’s with harry: distinguished gentleman with an impressive knowledge of history and mechanics. also a master of personal hygiene
Also the post is like “here’s things we did first: eight things that existed before I came along, and Post+. Everyone remember Post+? I’m very proud of it. Anyway, I’m looking to make tumblr more twitter-like in the following ways: 1) tracking individual users, 2) tracking individual users, 3)”
“rap is the worst music genre” “no actually it’s soul” “no actually it’s jazz” “no actually it’s ska” “no actually it’s r&b” hey guys do you notice a common denominator in the genres you hate or is it just me
genres people have said are the worst in response to this (including the deleted comment section)
FYI house is mostly german, and country is derived from bluegrass which is mountainy white music derived from irish music. And Dudubstep is from a few south Londoner teens.
you think the banjo came from ireland you dumb mother fucker?
as someone super into dance music and who actually puts a lot of effort into learning about the music i listen to, people like netherator genuinely infuriate me
house started and was popularized in clubs in chicago. the djs and clubbers were largely queer black men. house takes a ton of inspiration from disco, jazz, and dub
dubstep is a fusion genre of dub and 2-step garage, both of which were pioneered by poc artists. “south londoner teens” erases all of the history that sculpted the genre and culture around it. the “dubstep” netherator is probably talking about is probably actually “brostep” which was popularized by skrillex (please watch “all my homies hate skrillex” by timbah.on.toast)
So I’ve been warning people to not use the tumblr live feature and i had this discussion in the notes of one of the people i warned
said person already used live themselves and was not aware of what all TumblrLive’s partner MEETME collects with its feature and i wanted to take the time to make a post going over the privacy policy for anyone who is interested
for the first part here MEETME talks about how creating an account (downloading) (or having a tumblr account that auto updated to include the tumblr live feature (which is a vast majority of the tumblr mobile population in the US rn)) automatically makes any information they collect visible to any of the partners they have
the three partners mentioned there Skout Flurv and Boy Ahoy are all dating sites that promote primarily their location tracking fuck all knows what they want with your live data most likely they want to advertise singles near you??? but MEETME’s other current partners are apps like PlentyfFish Zoosk Chispa and Badoo which is Match.com and Bumble
the main important parts to notice from section ii of the privacy policy is the location information limit mobile ad tracking and do not track signals the rest of the section mainly puts the onus of revealing private information that can be used maliciously on the user ie. don’t share your password say your full name in a live video where you live etc.
as far as the location information goes what its saying here is that they collect the location information when you first register for tumblr live when you first log in and whenever your phone is on even if youre not using tumblr live
what does it use this information for??? well advertising purposes of course!!!
now they try to get around saying they dont track your location or share it with other users by using this word precise several times now what that means is they have a rough geotag of your location
(your ip address they dont say here its your ip address but in later parts of the document they do in fact say they collect your ip address and if you want an idea how close an ip address can get to your exact location enter your ip address in google maps sometime)
theyre being intentionally vague about that so when you see on the live tab something that says near you you could probably not follow that exactly to said persons house but you can damn well be you will at the very least find their city
heres a reminder to all of you who havent most phones now bury in the settings an option to disable adID do it now!!! but remember that TumblrLive can still use all other information they gather they do not at all process do not track signals so you arent safe there and what data would that be that they can collect other than your location and adID??? glad you asked!!!
this is a non exhaustive list which means there is DEFINITELY other data they collect about and from you
so they collect:
your email and phone number
any info in your tumblr bio
any metadata connected to any photo youve ever uploaded
adID
ip address
cookies and beacon
which devices you use
which features you use
which pages you visit
which chats you use
anything in your private chats or posts
anything from any connected social media accounts
how well ads are doing
what youre interested in
and in some cases even your biometric information
and what do they do with this information???
ads of course
and to give anything they want to cops :)
i dont make this post in order to like ruin peoples fun when it comes to this new feature or to try to talk down to anyone or make anyone feel stupid or anything im not here to make fun of people or belittle anyone but i think its real fucking important people know what privacy rights they are forfeiting by having their phone on right now with this new feature
also everyone please feel free to give a kind fuck you to tumblrs current ceo @photomatt
TLDR: DONT USE TUMBLR LIVE
This is a lot of text just to tell you the main thing you can do is DONT use Live.
BUT YOU CAN DO MORE. YOU CAN BLOCK ITS CONNECTIONS FROM YOUR PHONE ENTIRELY.
Step 1) Install a DNS-based adblocker if you don’t have one. The best one available on Android and iOS is Blokada. It’s free to use and straightforward to set up.
Step 2) Block any domains that look related to Tumblr Live. So far I’ve blocked:
api.gateway.tumblr-live.com
auth.gateway.tumblr-live.com
tmg-stream.gateway.tumblr-live.com
video-api.gateway.tumblr-live.com
video-live.gateway.tumblr-live.com
assets.video.tumblr-live.com
But if you see any others that look suspicious, block them too!
Now you’ll no longer see those tumblr live ads in between posts, and if you go to the Tumblr Live tab, it will simply show nothing!
I see there’s some confusion, so let me clarify:
You want to install Blokada 5, which is free. If the first thing you see on Blokada.org is “Cloud” or “Plus,” you need to scroll the page.
“Blokada 6” is their set of premium cloud-security and VPN apps, which require a subscription. These are not needed to get system-wide adblocking on your phone!
staff literally took these images down and deleted op’s account like within the last few hours I’ve seen this post multiple times today with OP still active and the images still there
