#check your fucking sources

[queerregulusablack]

I am once again begging kids on the internet to gain critical thinking skills, or else log off until you’re old enough to do five minutes of individual research to make sure what you’ve been told is accurate, or even true.

It takes less than five minutes to look at the Chan Fest page and see who’s running it. It takes equally as little time to read the original Dead Dove December post, in which it is clearly stated that it is not a fest.

Just. Read! Actually read the things you’re yelling at people about! Stop taking information at second or third hand, believing it without question, and then using it as an excuse to harass people! Do your own research; it doesn’t take long, and this website is just as free as google. The correct information is right there.

If you can’t be bothered, then please just leave, because you’re obviously not mature enough to be here without parental guidance, and no one here is your fucking parent. Your blatant, rampant ignorance is exhausting; and as awful as you are, the way you take unverified information at face value and just believe it is deeply concerning, and actually incredibly unhealthy.

Just do your fucking research. And stop being assholes.

#old man yells at cloud #to be clear twitter is STILL A HELLSCAPE #if you're swanning over from twitter with the intention to be a clown on main be aware that we don't put up with that shit #check your fucking sources #stop being a dick to strangers just because you're too lazy to do less than five minutes of research #EDIT: I put kids at the start of this bc I'm doing you the courtesy of assuming you're just young #you're still growing you've got an excuse we all sucked as teenagers #however if you are an adult you should be Fucking Embarrassed #like grow the fuck up you should know better

Peace and love on planet Earth but if I see one more post NOT about recovery and, in fact, encouraging eating disorders in the ed recovery tag, I might just turn into a chimpanzee and tear everyone's faces off.

#ed recovery #are you people for real? #ONE. I'm asking for ONE tag. #how tone-deaf and cruel do you have to be to post your active ed behaviour absolutely without any trigger warnings #or forewords #you know what i foolishly expect in the es recovery tag? ed recovery. yes i know very presumptuous of me. #i expect people who are trying to recover or are in recovery sharing their experiences and maybe some body positivity #talking about how hard recovery can be; for example. etc etc. #you know what happens in the tag? of course you do. ana meal diaries. posts about nothing but how much you body check #talking about how much you hate yourself because you're trying to lose 10kg and yesterday you had a salad and now you're asking #for tips how to get better at restricting and continuing your ed. #everyone who does that is a ghoul. and I'm done being nice and ignoring that shit. #like. some fucking room check maybe? I'm sitting in my flat shaking from cold which is caused only partly by the room temperature #and I'm doing my best to avoid everyone i know because i can't stand the thought of them seeing my form and when someone #i know accidentally meets me on the street or somewhere i feel like shit because I'm disgusting and if it were up to me #i wouldn't even leave this flat at all. so you know. naturally. i try to get myself at least some form #of support. i try to look for positivity for people like me; who are trying to recover. i want an outside source to affirm that I am not #repulsive. that I'm not insane when i think that all bodies are cool and fascinating and that there's no way or shape anyone is #expecting me to be in order to earn their love or at least their lust. and what do i get instead? you ghouls #wonderful. lovely. think about all the people like me next time you decide to post that shit in the recovery tag. thanks.

a guide on how to NOT block ads and download videos on YouTube for FREE!!!!

so recently YouTube dished out an update that, for certain users using an adblock, will stop you from watching more than three videos if they detect you using an adblocker. to counter this update, many users have started being introduced to adblockers, which is obviously not good and something you TOTALLY DEFINITELY shouldn't do because YouTube will lose 000.01% of their revenue while they continue to get trillions of dollars every year with little to no negative effects. here's a guide on how to NOT block ads on both pc and mobile and protect your browsing experience, and especially how to NOT download and watch videos without restrictions whatsoever, starting out with how to NOT download Brave Browser!

on your pc, do NOT download the Brave browser from brave.com/download/ and click "Download Brave for [insert OS here]" to start the installation process!!

Brave has a built-in adblocker that will automatically block ads from YouTube as well as other sites, which is DEFINITELY what you DON'T want if you want to protect your online safety and save hours of time. it also has several options for blocking trackers and has access to the Chrome Webstore, which has access to tons of adblockers which you definitely totally do not want on your pc!! additionally, you should also NOT go to the Google Play Store or the App Store and type in Brave Browser to download it for mobile devices!!

2. in the pc version of Brave Browser, do NOT go to the Chrome Webstore and type in "UBlock Origin" or "AdGuard" and click search!! do NOT then install these extensions and ENABLE them in your browser!! these extensions are incredibly UNhelpful and trusted by the community and will block YouTube ads, which is COMPLETELY WRONG and NOT want you want TOTALLY!!!

(P.S. avoid downloading options that are not circled because they're likely viruses and are not trusted. i mean umm dont download adblockers guys totally haha)

on the off chance you already installed Brave Browser and have UBlock enabled before the anti-adblock update, do NOT click the cog icon and do NOT click the 'Filter Lists' tab, where you WON'T click on 'Purge All Caches' and 'Update Now'!! this will update the extension to continue to block all YouTube ads after the anti-adblock update, which is BAD and something you should NEVER DO to protect your security!!!

GUIDE FOR MOBILE:

do NOT go on your Brave Browser (which you have also NOT INSTALLED!) on mobile and install F-Droid from f-droid.org/en/!! F-Droid contains apps that are free and open source that you should DEFINITELY NOT go ahead and download because they are extremely UNhelpful and will NOT make your phone cooler!!!

2. while you are NOT on the F-Droid app because you DIDN'T download it, do NOT search up "App Manager" and do NOT download the app that looks like this!!

this app will let you install and manage custom APKs which you DON'T want because it will allow you to patch YouTube using UNRULY, UNGOOGLE APPS!!!

3. whatever you do, do NOT go to this incredibly UNhelpful Reddit Thread on r/revancedextended and DEFINITELY DON'T carefully follow the guide's instructions on how to patch your YouTube app! it will block ads as well as having other options that YouTube is too greedy to put in, which is BAD and will increase productivity!!

the thread tells you how to patch and install a modded APK of YouTube using the RVX Manager, which is NOT good and should be NOT followed at all costs!!

DON'T carefully follow each step, and your app should NOT look like this if patching is successful!! (which it won't be because you did NOT download RVX Manager MicroG to make your YouTube experience better!)

do NOT click that install button and enjoy a completely ad-free YouTube that includes Sponsorblock and blocks the ever-so-lucrative Shorts shelf so that you don't distract yourself for three hours!!

4. do NOT open up F-Droid again and type NewPipe into the search bar!!! it is a FILTHY frontend of YouTube that blocks ads, lets you download videos, doesn't track you and is fully accessible without an account!! it also has access to other services like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, which you should NOT use!!!

this app is NOT helpful for getting around the age-restrictions, and while it can have issues with crashing, it's extremely UNhelpful and NOT lightweight!! you can also NOT download video thumbnails from video descriptions!!!

5. finally, DON'T go back to F-Droid and do NOT search up AdAway!!

this app is NOT helpful because it will establish a connection to your network and it will block every single ad domain when activated, including mobile game ads!!! which is obviously NOT GOOD because it will cost poor Googl$ less than a 100th of their trillion dollar revenue!! who will comfort Googl$ then!?!?

i hope you enjoyed this guide on how to NOT make YouTube on all of your devices more secure and easy to use, as well as how to block ads on every device!! i sure hope no one accidentally *wink wink nudge nudge* installs all of these onto their devices to free them of an ad-filled experience!! definitely DON'T check the tags for a few extra tips!!

#fuck youtube #fuck ads #ublock #adblockers #brave browser #newpipe #youtube revanced #hehehheehehe i love blatantly encouraging adblocking behind thin sarcasm #this post is sarcasm btw and you should do all of these actually because they're cool and good!! #''b-b-but blocking ads doesnt support youtube creators!1!!'' donate to their patreons then if you can. #also youtube creators barely get a cut from youtube most of the time especially if their video was claimed #and also youtubers not in the ad program get nothing as well so go donate to them if you're able to/want to #anyway modded apks good :) #make sure you always download your apps and extensions from a trusted source #reddit threads are really good for this sort of stuff #and if you ever doubt yourself just ask a question on there or check their megathreads #ALSO ALSO: if NewPipe crashes on you while downloading a video just tap and hold on the video thumbnail and it'll let you open it #in a browser so you can copy the link and paste it into either y2mate.is or Dirpy.com to download it #NewPipe is good but it can be very unstable sometimes and it crashes often #i personally use it for bypassing the age restrictions #I FORGOT TO MENTION TAMPERMONKEY!!! USE THE TAMPERMONKEY EXTENSION TOO!!! #it lets you run custom scripts like the 'Simple Youtube Age Restriction Bypass' and it's super helpful!!!! #use tampermonkey!! and greasefork!!! they are your friends!! #patch away mateys!!! youtube is a greedy prick and you deserve to not have ads be everywhere!!!

New challenge just dropped:

If you're going to make a post about someone who isn't you's political views, PLEASE link a source or explain why you believe that.

And if you don't do that, don't turn off replies for the love of god.

I've seen THREE of those types of posts calling celebrities Isreal supporters with zero evidence provided except their religion. And sure, you can suspect that someone might be a zionist based on that, but you cannot claim it factually unless you have evidence ready to point to.

I know PLENTY of Christians who do not support Isreal and support Palestine. You cannot point at someone, say "they're far right" and then call them a zionist with no other evidence. Unless that person has done something that supports Israel, directly or indirectly, then it's pure speculation, you are spreading potentially harmful rumors, and I don't want to keep getting blocked by people simply because I asked to see where they were getting this info from.

And, once again, when asked what your source is, if your first response is to get angry instead of finding a fucking link that proves your point, then I don't wanna hear it. You can speculate. You can be wary. In fact, you SHOULD be. But don't just say "X person is a zionist btw" and then hit post. If a person I at least somewhat look up to is, in fact, a zionist, I want to learn more. Direct me there so I can actually reblog your post, eh?

#dimond speaks #anyway. apparently Neil Gaiman is next on the chopping block. #source? *non-committal shrug* #I have also seen this for AOC and Scott Cawthon #and every time i asked for a source i got fucking yelled at for it #listen if Scott turns out to be a zionist i won't be surprised. i just wanna fact check you before i spread rumors. #i feel that is a neutral if not MORALLY GOOD thing to do right? #i couldn't even ask about neil because the replies had been turned off #and the entire comment section that WAS there was talking about how stupid the post was #but the reblogs all openly support the post and i can't tell if it's blindly or if people know something i don't. #gimme a source and i'll reblog your post okay. that's all you have to do. #and also don't wish death threats on people who support the person the post is about #because LITERALLY most people dont know wtf youre talking about. i don't and i went LOOKING #we don't know everything all the time. if you're gonna make a post informing people then you have to INFORM PEOPLE. give a link. #k i'll shut up now thanks

One thing that does slightly bother me about the Google AI thing (other than the actual AI which is beyond useless at best) is people saying Google is dead and it's not reliable for searching the internet anymore and can't get any information. Which is true if you only look at the first result Google offers in a neat little box, but just like. Look at the websites? Check the sources? Have we been talking about stopping the spread of misinformation and then willingly not checking our information?? Are you telling me y'all were using just. Google's front page results as your sole source on everything???

#don't get me wrong #the Google AI needs to die #it makes easily finding things a lot harder and actively is killing the websites credibility #but y'all #check your dang sources!!! #google #ai #fuck ai everything #fuck ai bros #google ai #misinformation #thoughts

hi hello i'm watching a video on fnv that i mostly like so far but the guy. just. said boldfacedly that Regis was Papa Khan's son????? and as the resident Khan enjoyer i figured i'd inflict that upon you. why are people so goddamn bad at understanding the Khans.

Uuugghh Oh my GOD pain and suffering for REAL I HATE this,,,,, yknow I know where this comes from there's this one ancient IGN guide that says that and I have no idea where they even got the idea from. Even in the New Vegas official guidebook all it has to say about them is that Regis is younger than Papa (which. Hilarious considering Regis looks just as old as Papa)

I bet this is just because Regis calls Papa "Papa" and they don't think a grown man should be doing that unless it's his actual dad forgetting that like What else is he supposed to call him papa is his NAME UGH 😔 Regis isn't even his Heir he's just some guy! You'd think if he was related to the man he'd bring it up when you ask him to "tell me about Papa Khan" but no he just calls him "one of the best leaders we've ever had!" AUGGHH thanks for inflicting me I'm gonna go hunt down the IGN writers

#Txt #Never use IGN as your source it sucks #Believe me I've checked all the official sources I have because it scared the fuck out of me when I first saw it #But no they just pulled it out their ass

fun fact on how Montana's glowing eyes work! (like these ones, or these) since at one point they constantly had a glow to them but now they don't (￣▽￣)/

so now there are 4 categories (´• ω •`)

normal -> just pink, no glow

using (for her) "safe magic" aka earth magic (I explained my magic system here) -> slight glow

using (for her) "unsafe" magic aka pandoric magic -> glowy eyes (think yato from noragami)

"super saiyan mode" aka "unsafe" magic overload that will cause her to pass out after 5 minutes -> no pupils, almost completely white except for a slight pink glow around her iris (almost like the avatar state in atla)

#sso #ssoblr #sso oc #star stable online #montana opalheart #my art #i was debating whether or not to have her eyes glow when using earth magic before going 'fuck it' and adding just a little #when she's at or past level three her eyes could also be used as a light source in the dark! #please don't use it for that- at and after stage three she will experience physical pain which she will ignore #the times she ended up at stage 4 can be counted on one hand and it did result in her being bedridden for at least a week #with constant visits from lisa bc homegirl was coughing up crystals and that ain't the best for your body last time I checked #yes justin was very concerned #kali talks lore

[zersk]

watching someone who used to be friends with me blindly reblog claims that "From the River to the Sea" is an antisemitic dogwhistle is a wild thing to experience whenever it happens.

especially if they reblog a post who's source is a blatantly pro-israeli propaganda station whose citation basically amounts to "just trust me bro"

#hey if youre reading this #i really genuinely hope one day a single fact ever penetrates your thick skull #and thats that youre kind of a self-absorbed moron #and if you cant do that fuck off and never come near me again #seriously youre supposed to have gone to school for thsi shit why cant you double check a single goddamn fucking source you reblog

[catgirladjacent]

gotta say the resident evil wiki is possibly the most useless thing and it’s so frustrating when it comes to the lesser easily accessed games (at least what’s easily accessed for me) i want to check ONE thing but it’s so chock full of just wrong info and there’s not a single reference/citation on half the stuff like. this may as well all be straight made up!

#you want to check one (1) timeline thing and may as well kill yoursef #also they REFUSE to say hunnigan is black. hey what’s up with that moderators?? #everyone ELSE’s ‘nationality/ethnicity’ section has like ‘caucasian/american’ but hunnigan only gets to be american?? #fuck off shes black say it with your chest you cowards #i also blame the wiki for the ‘leon is italian’ bullshit. now where exactly did you get that from #technically they cite a source (a reference book called CAPCOM design WORKS) but that subpage doesn’t cite a single thing #and i wouldn’t treat it as canon anyways #resident evil

Having to explain to my mom that 5min crafts is a content farm/what that is. That sure they have some genuine hacks, but a lot are genuinely dangerous and bad

It's like I'm not trying to be the parent, but I've been on the internet daily since I was 9 years old and you respectively have only been on it for maybe 8 years? Consistently? And only on Facebook. Like man the shit I have seen has aged me a lot more mentally than I care to admit.

It's so hard too bc I know I should like a know it all/conspiracy freak when I tell her not to get a reddit bc she's gonna get sucked into a WS cult and get radicalized, or when I tell her Facebook reels is the same as tiktok. Which she has continuously forbade me to have since it came out (bc evil chinese company. It's okay when it's an evil American company though). That she needs to be careful and not just believe whatever she sees, but it's like for once I DO know more and I DO need to be the adult.

Like I remember having so many fucking talks to get her out of that SAVE THE CHILDREN shit and debunking the wayfair shit, and the Hillary Clinton shit, and all this shit. I constantly am telling her "nope that's antisemitism in disguise, heres why" ab stupid theories and shit and why they're harmful and it's like I want to fucking scream

Idk where I was going with this but like god I'm tired

#and she gets mad when im 'parenting' her and its like well then fucking use your brain!!! think before you share shit! ask questions!!!! #had to explain that the reason jfk had a diff coffin on air force one wasn't like a body swap but bc the first casket wasnt secured right #and the man was LEAKING in the fucking casket and they had to get a clean easier to transport one #that it was his family that didnt want it open not the gov like the man had half a fucking head at that point!! what did you expect?! #and then shes like well how do YOU know all this shit. how do you know YOURE right and Its like bc i check my sources?? bc i know how to?? #bc i actually use my brain and dont sit in a digital echo chamber validating what i want to hear #thankfully we dont actually get fox in our house somehow (god probably) and we dont have cable so she cant watch fox & friends #but Facebook is it's own fucking up hill battle and it's like go back to playing 1010! and shit on your phone instead #and she stays on Facebook for that dopamine hit and its like i know you have adhd and your dr doesnt believe you but for godsake #i stg she's the reason my body hair is still turning white. it initially stated bc my dad was causing us so much fucking stress and then #it lessened a bit but now im finding more and more like my body is eating the pigment sgdgdgdgd #im gonna go gray by 35 i stg i have ONE white hair on my head and have gotten several on every part of my body like eyebrows and armpits ect #the funniest is leg hair like oh okay go grandpa #ANYWAYS im tired and i guess i needed to get this out #marquilla

just because you follow someone doesn't obligate them towards you in any way. it wouldn't on any other hellsite but it especially doesn't on this fucking hellsite lmfao. no one on this fucking hellsite needs to walk around eggshells with you and stop expressing their opinions bc you follow them.

#tbd #noah fence but what do you think people should only blow smoke up your ass because you follow them?? #who are you that you think anyone should be checking who follows them before responding to bad takes? #get a fucking life and a fucking hobby #like just bc someone shares a lot of stuff that you like it doesn't mean their blog needs to turn into #some kind of wiki where they have to triple check everything they post bc #blogs on tungl are primarily for the op ffs #unless they explicitly say they are a source blog or something #fandom wank

Western imperialist countries are complicit, funding or active in the genocide in Palestine, now further attacks are imminent - the Yemen and its people are the next target for the onslaught. Lebanese citizens have already been attacked and killed and displaced. Anti-Zionist Jewish people are persecuted and attacked and isolated from their communities. The historic suppression of people and movements against racism and colonialism is a strategy of keeping power over resources, division, money, votes, land, who has control, workers, disabled people, etc.

This is not stopping with Hamas, it’s not stopping at Palestinians, and it won’t stop for opposing powers and people. It was always about expanding Western imperialism and control under the thumb of their hegemonic rule. The fight for liberation cannot end until we are all free.

The violence, oppression, and exploitation stand as a glaring testament to the endless and systematic misery inflicted by imperialist dominance; supporting the Israeli State remains a key part of their strategy of colonial domination and capitalist control.

Only mass movements of the international working class - a globalised intifada - can overthrow these systems of oppression and end the division stoked by the oppressors. We cannot live like this anymore: not with a dying planet, not through genocide, not through exploitation, not through division and hatred and oppression.

Taking Israel to the ICJ is one thing we can look forward to, but what will it do to stop the onslaught, prevent further destruction and oppression, or ensure this never happens again?

We do not have to live like this, but we cannot be silent or inactive if we’re able to be loud and present.

Great British Bombs in the Yemen - the line and whole song inspired me to write this… the power of art

#feel free to add ways to help and support Palestine #join marches and movements in your area or online #I know this is not what I normally post but #I’ll post my analysis as and when I can #falestine #palestine #also fact check me and add sources if you feel it’s necessary #zionists and antisemites and racists fuck off

having read Dracula last year really made me just downright allergic to hearing about Dracula’s adaptations, i was watching a video about the tropes of the horror genre the other day and the guy confidently started to talk about the “Madonna/Whore” trope by illustrating it with Mina and Lucy because “Mina is virginal despite her attraction to the count and Lucy is a whore because she plays with multiple men and fucks the count”, while also throwing a totally unnecessary “also Jonathan is useless in this story it makes you wonder why he’s a main character” and i almost turned it off like “yeah lost absolutely all credit here”. and i wouldn’t be as mad if the youtuber had specified that it was only in the movie and different in the books but, when there were movies adapted from books doing things differently in the list, he would mention it, he just didn’t on Dracula so i was just oh. oh 🔪

#every single one of those statements got under my skin it's unreal #i wouldn't even say i came out of reading dracula by being super invested or anything #but then you hear about the common adaptation and depictions of those charas #and the natural outrage of 'what the fuck was that choice' makes you invested whenever you want it or not #for the record Coppola: for having named your adaptation by saying it was the author version for realsies: it's on fucking sight #bc it's the version the youtuber was talking about #and i'm almost certain he didn't bother to check if it was different in the source material #bc Coppola bragged so much about his inaccurate movie being the most accurate adaptation #takes a deep breath. Anyway Dracula Daily starts today! #have fun discovering a classic of literature that will have you in full blown rage everytime you hear of its adaptations! #ichatalks

if you are on tumblr criticizing people for what they are or aren't posting and chastising ppl for not ~speaking out~ or ~raising awareness~ might I just suggest logging the fuck off and actually doing something with your time other making yourself feel superior for blogging while doing fuck all else abt anything

#I am so sick of the 'i blog abt this constantly no I don't check sources or verify information you should feel BAD #'for coming on SOCIAL MEDIA and not reblogging every post abt this topic whether the info is verified or not' #you don't know what ppl are doing OFFLINE. cause most ppl do have lives OFFLINE. most ppl do not see blogging as piety #most ppl who donate to causes or help out don't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops cause they're not doing it #for fucking social media clout #don't even get me started with the 'fırebomb a wałmart' ppl like. they don't even realize they're the same mentality as the ppl they say #they oppose #I fckn hate it here more and more and more every goddamn day so many ppl saying you are not immune from propaganda #not realizing they are in fact lapping up propaganda and being warped just not by like idk f0x news so it's ok I guess 🤷‍♀️ #when you follow less than 60 ppl to begin with you can only unfollow so many ppl before it becomes like what's the point bro #some of y'all need some real life actually impacting your life problems and issues and responsibilities holy shit #and that's it. happy new year I guess I am gonna go find anything else to do ✌️ #delete later
