In complete seriousness, they need to make laws about ads that say they can take no more than one, maybe two, clicks/taps to close/skip. No more "wait 10 seconds until you can skip the video, wait 10 seconds until you can skip the fake playable ad, wait 5 seconds until you can close the 'download now' overlay, puts up a half-screen in-app appstore pop-up (which at least you can close immediately)." This should literally be illegal to do.

Edit: this is blowing up so I just wanted to add (haha ad) that this was my "reasonable request" I also think there should be way more and way stricter laws around all advertising in general. I think most advertising as we know it today should be abolished.

#ThornShadow.said #advertising #edit: I also have this sick pin on my jacket that has a “no” symbol with ads #and text that says 'abolish advertising in the media // replace this source of funding with government funding based on independent ratings'#not my idea but now that it's been presented to me it doesn't sound bad #like there are film funds and art funds and whatnot

She has added bronchitis to her bingo malady card 😞

She had been a little congested. She got antibiotics for it in the form of a shot on 12/27 but it didn't clear up, probably due to the other stressors (enema, hospital stay, a rare condition, etc). This morning she sounded just awful. I worried I got food into her lungs. I didn't.

Her vet's office closes on Wednesdays so we went back to the local place. They took an x-ray to see if she had aspiration pneumonia, regular pneumonia or something else. I learned that aspiration pneumonia shows up in a different part of the lungs than regular pneumonia. She has bronchitis. No fever. She's actually below regular temperature so it's good she has all of her heated areas.

She's not sneezing, coughing, or leaking out of her nose. She just sounds different levels of snotty. Horky girl.

I've been heating up water with catnip in a small paper cup and sticking her muzzle in the cup for as long as she'll tolerate the steam. We're currently in the bathroom with a hot shower running. I've also been wiping at her sinus areas with a not too hot towel to help loosen crap up.

I'm just glad I'm not working this week. Next week is going to be interesting.

#poor kitty #it's just one thing after the other #Gigabyte #at this rate she'll need her own go fund me or something

Important‼

Sharing this again with an important note. The currency for this fundraiser is in Swedish Krona (kr or SEK). I URGE YOU TO LOOK UP THE EXCHANGE RATE WITH YOUR LOCAL CURRENCY before donating! For example, $25 USD is equivalent to 272 krona.

Too many donations to this campaign have been really really small like 5 krona. If that's all you can genuinely give no problem (every bit helps)! BUT I think not understanding the exchange rate is part of why some of these donations are so low.

Also, the campaign hasn't moved in a couple weeks. I've sent Gaza Funds a message to highlight it but still, please share and donate if you can!

Physically, I am getting through it.

Mentally, I am laying on the ground kicking my feet and screaming that it isn't fair.

#i hate that i have to work a second job while im in school #did you know we (grad students) arent technically allowed to have second jobs?#because our funding is supposed to be such a generous stipend that we can focus all our time on studying #lol #lmao even #the grad student stipend hasn't gone up in almost 10 years #and it wasnt great to begin with #at a conservative estimate my rent is going to double when i move out of my current place #and its only the rate it is now because i signed onto a four year lease #landlord has been itching to raise it for a couple years now #frankly the university should be ashamed of whay they're paying us

#I want to donate a little bit of money.#not much. I am unemployed and the exchange rate is terrible #but I want to donate a bit to palestine right #the issue is there's so much conflicting reports about whether the aid ever reaches them or not #mersal foundation is running a charity campaign for feminine hygiene and medical products with red crescent palestine #and I want to donate to that #but are they getting the aid. and if it's red crescent I might as well #donate to my own country's red crescent #and if I'm doing THAT I might as well just buy dinner for the president #that's the issue with ME charities. no offense to anyone but if you know you know. and I know #charity tracker doesn't seem to have much info on mersal either #I can also just donate to palestine legal US or palestine action UK #the former is a legal fund for people who lose their jobs and shit to new wave mccarthyism and the other one is #the lads protesting in the UK apparently #but like. I want to donate to palestine #and it's really a small amount too hgjkfgnkds seriously there's no need to go this far for 20 dollaroos #but that's like 1/5ths of my rent right #do you understand #anyway does anyone have any suggestions

Ask the Bitches: How Do I Prepare for a Recession?

We’ve gotten a lot of questions recently about a hypothetical looming recession. The stock market has taken a bruising; bellwether companies are stumbling. Do such omens and portents mean that another recession on its way?

The good news is, we can answer this one very easily.

Yes. Another recession is coming.

We know this with 100% certainty.

How?

The same way we know with 100% certainty that Piggy and I will be dead within the next hundred years. It is in the nature of a living being to die, just as it is in the nature of economies to grow and contract. The sun rises; the sun falls. The tides go in; the tides go out. It’s just the way things are.

Sounds kinda shitty, right? It’s possible that, someday far in the future, someone will devise some new system that will smooth out or even eliminate these cycles. Maybe the nature of goods and services will change so fundamentally that economies will transform in ways we can’t even imagine. But that’s Phillip K. Dick stuff—innovations that live so far in a hypothetical future that they’re still science fiction. You should plan to endure these market cycles throughout your lifetime.

And yes, there are lots of things you can do to make yourself more prepared. Let’s go through them.

Keep reading.

we are missing out on a huge opportunity for Jason Todd to be a force of Chaotic Good

#red hood #jason todd #look if he's the protector of crime alley and Gotham's downtrodden #I'd expect a lot more effort put into destabilizing the systems that keep people down #burn down the payday loan place and replace it with a nonprofit equivalent with a 0% interest rate #subsidize an afforable grocery store because you know that place is a food desert #buy up the slums and remodel them to be safer and cleaner and healthier without increasing rent #put up needle exchanges and safe-injection sites #ban cops from setting foot in the district without a warrant #ban stop-and-frisk #ban cops from schools #FUND THE SCHOOLS #put everyone on triple food stamp benefits #free medical clinics and dentists every 3 blocks

Since I like numbers when I need to focus, in order to reach 90% funded before the Thursday debate stream we'd need to raise roughly $202 per hour between now and then, which feels totally achievable since if we're looking at how things have been going since the start of the last Sunday stream we've been raising roughly $535 per hour.

#tin can bros #I mean if we keep going at the current rate we'll hit 90% funded before this time tomorrow #so even with anticipating a slump in between the streams it seems totally possible #actually let's see if we keep up this rate we'll be fully funded by Friday morning #which I doubt will happen because like I said I anticipate a slump but still cool!#it would be really awesome if it could be fully funded before the final stream so they could hopefully get some rest #they have been working so hard this month and I'm just like if I were them I'd sleep until mid March after this

Like, logically I know that Bruce went to a preppy, private school. But like, what if Alfred wanted him to be normal (obv backfired) and sent him to public school.

Imagine showing up to public school in a limo. He would have been absolutely roasted.

A goth filling in their tax returns

#been messing with ai #it's not well known but goths pay a higher tax rate than normal folk #but it's generally offset by their council funding for being a goth

I finally buckled down and did some research on non-acetone nail polish remover and bought the ella+mila soy based remover and my nails haven't felt this strong in almost a year!

I am so impressed, I'm never going back. It's a lot more expensive than acetone based remover (all of the oil based/non acetone ones are) but SO worth it!

#nails #finger nails #acetone free polish remover #ella+mila #not thrilled that its peta certified #but it seems like all of the top rated acetone free removers are #and its a one time fee for the certification #so its not like sales are going towards funding peta #i might try other brands #but i KNOW this one works for me #and it works so well

It’s really frustrating seeing the common narratives about college when you work at a community college because everyone forgets you exist. “College is prohibitively expensive.” Community colleges are a lot cheaper and a lot of states have programs that cover a lot of it for you. “It’s so competitive; you have to start a nonprofit by the age of 16 to get in.” Our acceptance rate is 100%. “Colleges just give students useless degrees; we should be preparing people for the workforce.” We have an automotive repair program.

#not that I think there's anything WRONG with liberal arts degrees #I have one #but community colleges have a lot of job prep programs #we've got a bad rap and our completion rates ARE low #but a lot of students don't go to ccs with the intent of completing a degree #(retirees taking free classes employees reskilling students planning to transfer and knocking out gen eds)#also we don't get any goddamn funding
