Days Will Come and Go

fuck fack: fogses invented the nuclear bomb !

fuck fack:

While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

A good rundown on what each brand of TV is up to and which settings you should turn off.

PSA - Do not buy an LG smart TV. They just added a line to their terms of use that it's the user's responsibility to inform any guests in their house that by entering they consent to be recorded, in order to comply with wiretapping laws. That thing is literally recording you.

You can find tutorials online telling you how to open that thing up and physically remove the mic and wifi module. Frankly I don't trust anything less.

Please watch the Gamers Nexus video on LG Smart TV's and monitors! It's basically malware at this point.

It’s the strangest summer you can remember — the pool shed is haunted, the nights stretch forever.

It’s odd when men blame women for the “male loneliness epidemic” because oftentimes men are lonely in their own friend groups. Of course you’re lonely dude, your friends know literally nothing about you. You haven’t had a vulnerable moment with them ever. They don’t even know your surname. Instead of leaning on a random woman go lean on your buddies bro

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

Actually I've decided this is a poem

Good news for you, this August 23rd.

It’s that time of year again.

Nice

Nice

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.

We don’t talk enough about the two identical old women who just hang around Azula saying ominous shit in unison. What’s their deal. Is there a comic about them. Are they paid for their services

WHAT FUNCTION DO YOU SERVE IN THE GOVERNMENT

They serve cunt and omens. What more do you need?

Ok, real talk because I also think alot about the implications of these ladies. Since that portrait of their younger selves was in the beach house owned by the royal family I kinda assumed they were Azulon’s sisters, I.E. Zuko’s and Azula’s great aunts. That would also explain why they are seemingly in charge of overseeing Azula as she trains in lightning-bending (despite the fact that they are not benders themselves), since that skill was a carefully guarded secret among Fire-Nation royalty.

today our zoo had an annual 21+ day where there's beer n wine stands and no kids and it turns out when you remove the families from a zoo everyone left is lesbians

Behold, the thing that has been keeping me busy the past 2 weeks! Lagiacrus in the style of Animal Crossing Lynn is a Peppy villager in the Monster Grove, she likes fishing and her favorite color is green. Her catchphrase is 'fishy'. If you ever take a stroll near the rivers, coastlines or lakes of the grove, you're bound to find Lynn there. Overly eager to chat, she often ends up getting distracted and missing her catch. Even with all the bugs and limitations of blockbench im extremely happy with how it turned out, and i already have plans for a few other monsters, though if i'll have the time to make them is another question //Will also be posting obligatory microwave rotation version separately (edit: theres some weird stuff with that too so i'll fix and post tomorrow)

(bringing in my dystopian AU for this one, since its basis is technically apocalyptic) Meet the Resistance - a group of people living in the oppressed city of Lower Unova. In an alternate world where Volo was able to win the battle at the Temple of Sinnoh and subjugate Arceus, he's successfully rebuilt a new world in his vision. As the self-proclaimed emperor, he rules over Lower Unova (a city that is scarce on resources) with an iron fist, especially to those who actively oppose him; meanwhile, Upper Unova prospers and flourishes with those who follow his lead. Despite all odds being stacked against them, especially facing Emperor Volo's army in constant battles and skirmishes, the members of the Resistance still fight - for they one day hope to overthrow the emperor and bring peace to both cities. To unite them. And to keep their fighting spirit strong, they wear an emblem on their clothes to serve as a constant reminder of what they're fighting for... Though this emblem resembles a Pokemon they're only familiar with in either spoken legend or limited written lore, it's still one they choose to believe will help bring them peace someday. Here we have (pictured from left to right, for the most part): Alder - Leader of the Resistance (and also essentially a father figure to Emmet) Nate & Rosa - orphaned children who aren't members of the Resistance, but rather who are close to many of its members Mallow - a chef and medic Elesa - a fighter, childhood friend of Emmet Blacephalon - Emmet's main battle partner; with Emmet's command of a simple snapping of the fingers, it will use its Mind Blown attack Emmet - one of the Resistance's strongest fighters; ah, I think I'll save more on him for later ;) (just for context his mask is supposed to be based on Blacephalon, more on that later too - he wears it into battle, though, helps obscure identity and such) (FINALLY I RELEASE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AU!! tbh I had intentions of getting this done during Emmet month buuuut it got away from me - but here it is now! better late than never, right? this is probably my favorite au of mine that i've made so far and i hope to show more of it ;w;) ((btw not... all resistance members pictured here, but... well, you'll see what i mean soon enough :D))
