to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

Me: I will stop talking about Nijisanji EN as it is bad for me and they are probably going to want to have it die down eventually.

Nijisanji EN: Not only are we disclosing legal details on a stream, but we're going to have three of our most popular livers (that were also quite close to Selen) read some of the content that sounds like it was read off of a script!

Me: Oh, for fuck's sake- SINK THE YACHT.

#narky thinks #and just when we thought they couldn't possibly fuck it up any more than they already had: BEHOLD! ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES! #all of the livers need to get the fuck out of there ASAP #throwing them under the bus both in reputation and LEGALLY NOW? #they're all meat shields to this black splot of a company #nijisanji #nijisanji en #you cannot make this shit up

I saw a counterargument of the Wish movie that said something along the lines of, "The movie isn't Citizen Kane, so what?" Imagine typing and posting this absurd ass take and thinking it's a legitimate argument against those who criticize it. Considering that this is an animated movie released on their 100th anniversary, the fact that they delivered a "meh" at best movie should upset you when looking at Disney's movie catalog and their impact on the field of animation. If you don't hold Disney to a higher standard, they will keep putting out mediocre content, but unfortunately, too many Disney fans are sellouts to this company. Y'all wanna get mad at people for being too rough on and critical of modern Disney, but they earned this shit 100%. They became so arrogant and loved the smell of their own butthole a little too much that they did not foresee their inevitable eventual fall at all.

#disney #wish #txt #disney fans are so ridiculous #star wars fans have a reputation of being crazy and obsessed and have been endlessly mocked and criticized for it even by the very sw fando #but star wars will defend their shit regardless and do demand quality out of the movies #disney fans just accept mediocrity from the company that used to amaze us beyond belief and teach us great life lessons about selflessness #nowadays everything they teach is about the SELF and how you don't actually need to change a damn thing about you because you are perfect #the way you are. it's selfish #disney had their share of bad movies or movies with bad messages back then but nowadays this seems to be consistent #back then it was a “once in a while” thing now it's a consistent thing

I’m thinking about Modern!AUs in fanfiction and why sometimes they’re some of my favorite fics and also sometimes the Worst™️. (<-that is a joke. There is no such thing as bad fanfiction, just fanfiction I don’t personally like.)

Because I LOVE Modern!AUs that ask interesting questions about how the setting of a story impacts the characters—how much of the setting can you remove while still being able to recognize the characters in question? All of it? None of it? What new problems would living in a world with planes and phones create for these characters? How are the social and political tensions of the original canon reflected in our own world?

The “problem” (again, not an actual problem, just a personal preference) is that most Modern!AUs COMPLETELY refuse to engage with any of that. They instead become a stale rehashing of the original canon except with lower stakes. Nothing about the modern setting adds interest, and everything interesting from the original setting falls away.

I think that a lot of people write Modern!AU fics to deescalate the conflict of the original canon and give the characters more relatable problems, which isn’t universally terrible, but it can so easily become boring. I don’t WANT to know what it would be like if one of these characters was a florist and the other was a tattoo artist; I want to know what would happen if you gave one of them a gun.

#yes this is about my Vanyel nuclear weapons AU. IMO Vanyel as a character should be doomed to be a living weapon no matter the setting #This is also about the locked tomb #my good friend harrowhark nonagesimus didn’t give herself a lobotomy to end up working at hot topic #and gideon didn’t throw herself on a fencepost with the full understanding that her soul would be consumed in the fires of lyctorhood #just to work at a gym. I think they should’ve been raised in a pseudo-catholic death cult and harrow should be an ecoterrorist #This is also why I think tgcf modern!AUs leave me a little flat. Like Xie Lian is SO WEIRD because he willingly submitted to #getting stabbed a hundred times. He also got buried alive. There is simply no modern!AU explanation for how weird he is!!! #(<-says the person who has a tgcf modern!au posted on his ao3) #On the flip side this is also why I think MDZS modern AUs kind of work?? #because SO MANY of the problems MDZS characters have are just. #‘my dad likes my adoptive brother more than me’ #‘my family doesn’t want me associating with this person who has a bad reputation’ #so at least like the front half of MDZS is modern!AU-able #people lose me when they try to make a modern analogue for the genocide of the Wen. like oooookay #I don’t think getting their company shut down should be presented as equivalent to a genocide but w/ever #I do not like it therefore I shall not read it

in 2024 I wanna stop hearing about betterhelp

#elise's posts #SO many youtubers etc I like are promoting this shit #fyi for those who don't know it's a REALLY unethical business trying to take advantage of the mentally ill #and before you say 'but how else am I meant to find a therapist that does online sessions' #post-pandemic most therapists offer this #and if you want the whole 'I can text my therapist for therapy anytime 24/7' thing... #sorry I know it might sound useful but it's SUPER bad for both your own mental health and your therapist's #sorry but therapists are not meant to be there for you 24/7 #that's not their job and it's really unhelpful for YOU to become dependant on a 24/7 therapist #betterhelp do not vet their therapists thoroughly #and some people say they have been evangelised to on betterhelp by preachers who ask the algorithm to assign them queer and atheist clients #many reputable therapists state that it's a terrible business model promoting unhealthy practices to patients #it claims to be the cheapest option but it's more expensive than the most expensive therapist I've ever had (I'm in the UK) #and significantly more expensive than the cheapest who was still good and probably more qualified than some people on betterhelp #you pay extra for the middleman #(being allocated a therapist you didn't choose and vet yourself isn't great anyway imo surely you want agency in this huge decision?) #and I'm sorry but pride counselling is a branch of the same company #please just look for therapists that specialise in your needs through a regulatory model and get in touch with them directly #not all of them have waitlists and tbh if every therapist on betterhelp is available whenever what does that say about them

I switched to buying the happy egg brand recently bc I know chickens are the most abused farm animal and I figured paying a couple extra bucks for some of them to have at least a marginally better life was a fair trade off, and I've been really happy with it. Today when I went to boil some eggs for breakfast I found that the two eggs I picked out were different sizes and for some reason that was so charming to me. Like... It makes it feel more real. These are real eggs that come from real chickens who have a somewhat decent quality of life. Hens naturally lay eggs of different sizes, and I feel like it's probably a good sign that an "imperfection" like that was allowed to exist rather than the company being set up in a way where hens are just made to keep pumping out eggs until they can replace all the natural variation with "perfect" ones

#rambling #and like i know happy egg still isnt perfect. no factory farm is. and i know there are other farms with even better qol for their chickens #but happy egg is the most ethical option sold in my area #and if the options are between 'chickens roaming free in areas with at least limited access to outside spaces #in a company that has built their whole image around caring for their wellbeing so their reputation is tied to how well they treat them' #or 'chickens spending their entire lives in indoor cages too small to stand up or turn around in—possibly painfully mutilated— #at a company with absolutely no transparency about the welfare of their animals who doesnt even bother to pretend they arent abusive' #...yeah ill spend like $1-2 extra for the first one #ideally i would love to start getting eggs from local chickens if i could reliably find a source #and end goal i would LOVE to have pet chickens and my own eggs so i dont need to worry about it at all anymore #(my gf and i both come from rural families who had pet chickens) #but uh. i live in an apartment rn lol. so im taking smaller steps where i can

the boss thinks it’s like divorce papers lmaooooo you can’t do it if you can’t find him

hahaha, for real.

I did spend a good chunk of time last Friday unleashing on him about our absolutely abysmal "merit increase" budgets. We're talking about one of the top 15 companies in the world by market cap, whose annual revenue went up 14% in 2023, and because we apparently didn't hit some unknown secret business unit goals, they're not even giving people enough money to cover cost-of-living increases.

I am incensed. And obviously, I'm already three quarters of the way out the door and I'm very happy with what I was able to negotiate for my new position, so it was very easy for me to be blunt-as-fuck with him but honestly, the abject greed is just beyond the pale. And of course they're trying to ameliorate it by saying that anyone over a certain pay grade isn't getting any raise at all. But everyone at that pay grade or higher has STOCK! A stock that has gone up by 5% in value over the last year, and 90% in the past five years.

UGH. I can't WAIT to quit.

Those divorce papers are getting signed this afternoon. I used some other "high priority" item to get him to meet with me today. He's NOT ESCAPING THIS DIVORCE! I will hunt him down if I have to.

Okay...rant over.

#seriously #this company is so evil #they have an evil reputation for a reason #can't wait to be gone #I've been containing my ire over working here for so long #because I didn't have an escape plan #but now I do #corporate greed

One thing I’m enjoying about my line of work is meeting people who are moderately to pretty successful in our field and not knowing who the fuck they are. I’m in an echo chamber of niche creators where I have never heard of you until I Google you and it turns out the search function fills the tab automatically and you have an entry in Wikipedia. Oh sorry you have awards and publications? Well I run a microfamous niche blog on tumbler dot com enjoyed by over a thousand people worldwide. So. I think this networking opportunity is quite beneficial for the both of us. You’re welcome.

#the first day of one of my lectures the guy sitting next to me whispered ‘i can’t believe we’re going to be taught by X’ #and i just stared at him quizzically like ??? ok??? so??? #and he was like ‘you don’t know him?!?!’ and i was like ‘should i???’ #gaining a reputation as the mysterious figure that isn’t really all that interesting to talk to but also strangely appealing in my complete #and utter disinterest in people’s fame and trajectory. if you’re good at you job good for you. no i don’t care about ur instagram followers #like atp people get so mesmerised when you’re unmoved by ‘celebrity culture’ i don’t like to call them celebrities because it’s not that big #but I guess somewhat renowned people #yesterday someone told me ‘well I actually do have a bit of a reputation’ #and my response was ‘well i run an AMATEUR company and we’re in the same project at the same level. so.’ #like you’re working with someone who directs college students and highschoolers who want community service credit for a job. so there’s that #personal
