hi i’m in college and considering becoming an accountant which if i recall right is what you are. would you recommend that career path to others? i am hesitant to commit bc i feel like it’s a ton of work and hours for just-okay compensation but on the other hand i have no idea what ELSE i would do. i crave stability. basically I’m just second guessing my major and i was hoping to get the perspective of someone who’s already been through it to know if it’s worth it or if i should just major in marketing or something

if you want stability then accounting is where it's at

i'm in governmental accounting and i work 40 hours a week, no overtime. also i'm union. if you work in public accounting doing taxes then you get a hell month leading up to taxes being due, but other than that it's not so bad (or so i've heard) (i haven't done it). i assume managerial accountants in corporate environments make more money but i'm not checking.

anyway you're unlikely to make as much money as, like. a software engineer. but you might make as much as a baby programmer. as far as office jobs you can do on autopilot once you get going, it's hard to beat accounting. the classes are all way harder than the job, so if you can handle the classes, you'll do fine at the job.

honestly at worst you can use it as a jumping off point into different jobs. the number of jobs where you both actually require a degree, and where the school you went to doesn't matter, is kind of limited once you look into it. with an accounting degree you can still theoretically become a programmer, or a data analyst, or whatever—it's just that you can also become a cpa, which isn't an option if you get a compsci degree. you know?

#original #i don't know how much sense I'm making #I'm tired #anyway i briefly went for a cs degree #but all else aside i knew way too many people with high paying tech jobs #who didn't have a degree and spoke poorly of cs degrees #like. constant emphasis on experience and practical ability being way more important than the degree.#which is great unless you're getting a cs degree in which case it's disheartening #that's not a problem with accounting #no one ever tells you you can become a cpa without the degree because It's Mandatory #there are other jobs like that but mostly things like law and health #which first of all. are hard. but second of all your school matters.#no one cares where you got your accounting degree

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Kinda mad I'm deciding on this (but I'm always changing my mind on things dfhfg), but I think I'm gonna remake my rules/muse list doc, and instead, make them into a carrd. Then I can have muse bios/headcanons/relationships be docs.

Maybe I'll make a Mains/Exclusives carrd as a special treat.

#MUN SPEAKING 🌸 ᴬ ʷᵉᵃᵛᵉʳ ᵒᶠ ᵗᵃˡᵉˢ; ᴾᵃⁱⁿᵗᵉʳ ᵒᶠ ˢᵗᵃʳˢ #Carrd is just so incredibly limited... can be more trouble than it's worth unless you pay for it and I ain't willing to lol #But I can at least cheat my way into using a couple of my old accounts and linking them to each other to look like one.#If I run out of space. I don't think I will in just using them for rules and muse list though ; ; I don't think I will at least.#Ugh... Maybe getting myself to work on these sorts of things will spur me on to work on getting to writing and art.#Kinda like a “fresh start” sorta kinda. Except not really c': That's my plan so let's hope it works!

shit like 'level 1 customer service rep for local utility' REQUIRING a degree is what will eventually make me become a terrorist

#you answer phones and look up ppl's accounts when they give you their adress and help them pay their bill #you can train on the job for that #I should not need and associate's or bachelor's for that suck my whole dick and die #EVERY JOB with the city REQUIRES at least an associate's degree. even to answer phones #UNLESS you want to volunteer then fucko come on down #I hate the fuckin city leaders so much makes me wanna drive through the fuckin city building #I am not trying to ACTUALLY work with the actual utilities I am not qualified to like do electrical #but answer phones ans field customer service queries all day. use a computer and software and emails. yes. I am qualified for that.#erin explains it all

Hey, things have been pretty rough for you lately. I know you need new glasses. Do you know how much it would cost? Do you know your prescription, if you do then Zenni is a cheap option? Do you have a Kofi or Paypal or something? I'm not in the USA so my money isn't worth as much, and we don't use the money apps that the US does, but right now I'm in a position where I can offer a small amount of financial help. Sending this on anon only because I'm awkward about asking this sort of thing and don't want to potentially cause offence.

hey thanks a ton like seriously but cause this is anonymous I can only respond publicly which kinda makes this more awkward for both of us lol

#i do desperately need help tho so yea pls #my paypal username is the same as my blogs if you wanna lend a hand it would do me well #and frankly as much as I would love to afford glasses I need to get my bank account out of overdraft first which is like $35 in itself #not to mention the $40 student loan payment I have coming up #also I owe my sister $25 but that’s unrelated #well not really #I’m working on the glasses thing. i might have something lined up that won’t cost a ton #like I would looove glasses but you gotta pay for your own life too and if you give me money it will go to the bank not my vision I’m afraid #so unless you feel like feeding capitalism to offer a stranger on the internet some peace of mind I probably recommend helping yourself #cause this is a shitshow #i am. not helping my case but I don’t wanna give misconceptions here I literally can’t afford the things I need/want until I pay the bank

damn I sure love spain but when it comes to official things like signing up residency or signing up for healthcare or opening a bank account or paying taxes this country is literally so xenophobic I don't even know how to put this into words

#like literally #i get it these things are hard on purpose bc they wanna lock people up #but rn im about to throw up all over the place bc they made their system of paying taxes so rigid you literally cant do it easily #unless you have a spanish bank account #and spanish banks wont let you open an account if you dont speak spanish #and thats not policy the workers there just turn you away #i got turned away by three banks which is why i now have an internet bank #and apparently it costs me an arm and a leg to be able to pay taxes via bank transfer #I'm literally at my wits end I'm gonna have a call with my EXTREMELY TARDY AND ANNOYINGLY SPANISH tax consultant on monday #and if she explains me via phone that this is gonna be a huge hassle and i will be fined or some shit im gonna rip this woman a second one #right over the phone #fuck this country

If you are not on Twitter but are interested in what's going on with Elon Musk's Twitter, never fear, I am back as your Twitter Correspondent.

So, on Thursday, 4/20, Elon removed all the "legacy verified" blue checks. That means that if you are, say, Taylor Swift or the Pope, and you have a blue checkmark because you have proven you identity and want to avoid being impersonated, that check mark went away unless you paid the $8 to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

The assumption was clearly that, despite all their blustering, when push came to shove the power users would nut up and pay for it, if only to avoid their fans being scammed using their likeness.

That didn't happen. As of 4/21, only weirdo Elon stans had blue checks. Those stans immediately got mad, because they had intended to purchase access to an exclusive club, and all the cool kids left as soon as they arrived.

To make matters worse for Elon, several influential shitposters began posting about #BlockTheBlue, a movement to block all paid Twitter bluechecks, and some even released scripts that would automatically block all bluecheck accounts for you.

However, some people retained their blue checks who swore they hadn't paid for them -- in particular, Stephen King and LeBron James, who had tweeted that they would refuse to pay.

Elon admitted that he had paid for these users' blue checks out of his own pocket. Is he trolling? Is it a weird simp move? Hard to say.

Now, as of 4/22, a whole mess of famous people have bluechecks who aren't paying for them. This seems to be a move to confound the automated Block The Blue scripts. Lil Nas X is tweeting angrily about how he doesn't want his blue check. People are speculating that a new policy has been silently rolled out to automatically assign a blue check to every user with over 1 million followers. Several people have pointed out that this amounts to false endorsement, i.e. implying falsely that a notable person uses or endorses your product without their permission, which is a crime. Blue checks have been posthumously assigned to Anthony Bourdain and Terry Pratchett, whose estates my money is on to be the ones to actually sue.

dril, famous shitposter and Block The Blue promoter, keeps being assigned a blue check as an apparent punishment for crossing Elon, but you can lose your blue check by changing your display name. (It seems really wild to tie the blue check to the display name and not use the username, but it became necessary after the era where all those legacy verified folks unleashed their inner Jaboukie and changed their display names to Elon Musk. As recently as last month a legacy verified user with 100k followers got banned for impersonating JK Rowling apologizing to trans people.) So dril just keeps changing his display name every time they bluecheck him. Elon and dril have been engaged in this game of cat and mouse all day. The "Elon bans dril and we all throw trash at him like New Yorkers defending spiderman" meme will probably come to fruition today or tomorrow.

#Twitter #Elon Musk #twitanic #most of you probably followed me for d20 stuff and didn't know I was a Twitter Refugee #I'm in great company (Chuck Tingle is a Twitter refugee as well)

I understand post saying that blocking people is ok, you should feel more comfortable doing it, but I just can't really agree with them

#anyway is this me being angry that i can't reblog some art cause person blocked me and i think i know why they blocked me and i i think that #was because of some tags that i have decided i shouldn't write anyway?#(not even on their post on someone elses)#yes it is #also tumblr was reccomending me posts from someone who had me blocked like from april to september 2022 #(that person unblocked me at some point)#(i went then with basically liking and reblogging all of their art)#so it's not even like you don't see it #and it's frustrating #also you can just generally see it on other people's blog with tumblr reccomending it #also that person who blocked me once appeared on my activity page.#while they still had me blocked.#they liked post on my blog. that wasn't my post #though it was my ask.#but i had mention on activity which mean they probably liked my reblog (unless it was something weird with tumblr functioning)#i guess they might have liked my tags.#but my point is.#you can interact with people you blocked #without realizing that #so i dunno blocking function really sucks here #like if it worked like on twitter when you just don't see it when you look at account it says 'that account blocked you'#'you have blocked that account' 'that tweet comes from account that blocked you'#'that tweet comes from account you blocked'#i would agree with that takes but tumblr mostly makes being blocked frustrating #and if you like blocked people because of something else than pettty reasons and they already know you #then it's kind of useless cause they can still see your post #and if you did because you do not want to reblog from someone specific/like their posts when if you don't remember their username #or don't pay attention or they changed it #chance is you still might do that #...i think my point is blocking function here sucks

URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023

April 28, 2023

I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this

What is the EARN IT Act?

The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.

This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.

Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)

This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.

NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.

The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.

EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.

As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.

This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.

This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.

Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.

It will make CSAM much much worse.

One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.

(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)

The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.

I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.

HOW TO FIGHT BACK

EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.

This website takes you to your Senator / House members contact info. EMAIL, MESSAGE, SEND LETTERS, CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL. Calling is the BEST way to get a message through. Get your family and friends to send calls too. This is literally the end of free speech online.

(202) 224-3121 connects you to the congressional hotline. Here is a call script if you don't know what to say. Call them every day. Even on the weekends, leaving voicemails are fine.

2. Sign these petitions!

Link to Petition 1

Link to Petition 2

3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE

If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.

Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.

DISCORD LINK IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIGHT IT

TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

Okay so I do Neopets daily, and recently when the Daily Quest feature was released (which includes some previously extremely expensive items as potential weekly prizes), it was SO funny going on the forums just to see the elitists throw fits. In particular there was this one thread where this one dude was saying "Why should I even continue playing neopets. Give me one reason I should stay." and 99% of the replies were "Nah," "just leave," good riddens," "BYE," ect. I still check every once in a while to see these fake currency billionaires crying like little babies. It's soooo funny Some people are protesting by cancelling their memberships... But I saw one person on the boards ask if they could buy a brand new membership on a side account and then cancel that to protest bc they didn't wanna cancel on their main.

HAJFJFKGK thank you for this info, like it’s so funny seeing people throw a fit over this shit, especially the person who wants to like buy and immediately cancel their membership on their side account like bestie that’s the same thing as walking into a room and loudly going “HMPH!” until you get attention and then leaving without explaining,, like if you’re this mad over a game then perhaps just take a break??

sorta similar but I used to play webkinz a ton growing up and had collected quite a few rare items along with my sister (same on freerealms, that is a whole can of worms I am very scorned) and at some point the game started doing little quests in game and for some of the quests the rewards were retired items ranging from mildly rare to super rare and sought after and people on the webkinz forum (I didn’t frequent them but my sister did) were PISSED they were so mad and I was like 11 and just happy to finally have the really pretty sparkly purple shoes lmao

#deity dialogue #asks #anon #neopets anon #it’s great that people are having fun playing these games but if you’re going to get this upset over a children’s game then I think you nee #to take some time to like calm down #like besties.#please it’s not that deep #I have a good few rare items on my old account (idk the rarity of them anymore because I am not paying for a membership and don’t know who #to ask lmao) but like if I found out they were worth as much anymore I’d just not care #even when I was actively collecting rare shit wnd the worth was going down I did not care that much #that said anyone have the rare webkinz witch hat and wanna give it to me xoxo I like purple jk unless #I actually have a Webkinz which either has an unused code OR someone went through the trouble of reattaching the code to #it’s a monkey I got at a thrift store for like $4 I love him he has no name #also I don’t mean to be dismissive of people being upset like you can be upset if you worked hard for something and it’s worthless now but #like I don’t think it’s worth getting super duper mad about #don’t let it rule your life and all
