#which is incredibly annoying

I don't really use tumblr from the desktop browser anymore. can anyone tell me if they denote when photos have alt text yet? I know mobile has the little ALT in the corner, but last time I was on desktop there wasn't anything

#mine #disabilities #tumblr #i also remember not being able to add alt text #to anything posted from mobile #or vice versa #which is incredibly annoying #and just makes adding accessibility harder and less likely for people

I hate it when things break in such a way that they're still technically perfectly functional but the broken thing is just really annoying. It's honestly worse than things breaking in a way that makes them non-functional cause then I just don't use the thing. But if they're still functional? Well now it's silly if I don't use it cause it still works, it's just more annoying now

#stella speaks #one of my vacuums at work will not stay in the upright position #which is incredibly annoying #but otherwise the vacuum is working just fine #and now i have to decide which would irritate me more: using this vacuum as it is #or going and getting my backup vacuum which i like less

Slowly coming to the conclusion that mirroring my friend is not working, masking around her is also not working and being myself is definitely not working

#help #i try to mirror or make around her but then I sound mean and unreasonable #and then I feel bad and we misunderstand each other #which is incredibly annoying #like I have one mask around her and it’s stuck like glue and sucks ass #i hate it here #my ability to mask after 9th grade just went right to hell ;-; #txt #ramblings of a lunatic

there is something so so so Appealing about angry/irritated Barnaby. it scratches an itch in my brain. somethin somethin comic relief characters getting to break their mold and be outwardly unhappy

A while back I finally figured out how to use UBlock's element blocker and promptly went mad with power. Just now I turned off all my extensions to debug something and realized how much more useable it made everything. As soon as I see something annoying I open the Ublock popup, select the element picker, click the annoying thing, and (most of the time) the annoying thing is gone forever and I never have to think about it. So here's my shameless ad pitch for things you can do with it, other than the default "block ads":

Remove all of the UI buttons that are definitely useful for someone but that you're never going to use in your life

Remove UI buttons you use only once, like "register"

Hide the "Posts +" button in tumblr

Clear all of the information your credit card website tries to show you that you don't care about so that you can focus on the couple numbers that you do

Send those pop-up "do you want to chat!" notifications to hell, where they belong

Remove various website overlays

Remove specifically the calorie numbers on food delivery websites

Hide the comments and recommended videos sidebar on youtube

Hide promotions that an adblocker doesn't pick up on because they're native

Hide your facebook newsfeed (if you just use it for chat/events/groups)

Hide discord's sidebar when you just need one channel open and don't want to be distracted, and then unhide it when you want it back

Get rid of distracting moving elements on pages

Hide almost all of the elements on twitter except the actual tweet, if you only interact with twitter via other people's links and don't want to be sucked down the rabbit hole

Generally hide "Related!" or "See also" or "You might like!" type distractions on sites where you only want to see what you came there for, not browse

Remove all of the news from weather websites so that they can actually do their job and show you just the weather

Remove the footer text on websites no one ever reads

#i feel like there was a post going around a while back that had the phrase #reclaim your attention #or something like that #reclaim your attention!! #websites do not have the right to shove random junk at you unrelated to what you want out of them and you can make them stop #and just. customize your use of the internet. you spend so much time on it #it can suck less! #probably other people do not want to cry when interacting with annoying cluttered UIs with twenty different buttons none of which seem #to be the thing they need #but if you do: you can just do this *once* and then all of the buttons you never need will never bother you again #my school class portal is almost useable now it's incredible #i *will* provide before and after screenshots if anyone asks #(anyway. I have been on a kick of making the tools I regularly use at actually work for me lately #and have once again been reminded how important this is) #Make The Internet Great (or at least tolerable) Again

literally im not even close to kidding one of the best things you can do if you encounter a baby bigot in the wild (a child or young adult who had clearly been indoctrinated by hatred and fear (specifically evangelical flavor)), is to be kind to them. there is nothing that cracks that worldview faster. if you listen to people who escaped that life and ask them how they got out, a lot of times it’s because when they were a teenager or young adult, they met people from outside their immediate community and realized they were just regular human beings.

like don’t put yourself in danger or anything but really truly really it does make a long term difference a lot of the time if you’re nice. it’s just that you don’t get to see it because the unlearning takes years.

#now granted. this doesn’t work 100% of the time #cults of hatred are incredibly difficult to escape #but it’s still the most effective thing you can do as a stranger who will probably not have a chance to debate them into improving #side note that also doesn’t work anyway. any time you challenge part of someone that they consider integral to themselves they entrench #and get defensive. which is annoying because all you want to do is tell them the objective reasons why they’re wrong #but on an individual-to-individual basis talking about it literally doesn’t work

board game night is a total nightmare in the agency because nick is a robot who is pretty good at chess but not great and despite literal years passing gloria never gets over this fact. this was in her 'pros' section of dating a mechanical guy. if he makes a move that's pretty good but not The Most Optimal she will say what the fuck out loud. he has the hardware to consistently thrash her in it but unfortunately the software is 'a guy who's a pretty strong logical thinker' and that's quite the gap

#nick keeps playing her because he thinks seeing her that annoyed is a little funny #dead man talking #dmt #nick valentine #gloria roche #big into the idea of the actual mechanics of his brain being a computer so he can do things like huge calculations off the cuff #but it's also being filtered through A Reasonably Smart Man which means he's not superhuman #what if you took an incredibly complicated bit of machinery and forced it to use window xp. this is valentine to me #in dww he describes himself as 'the dumbest smart ai on god's green earth' which i think sums him up

whats fun about barry as a protagonist vs other Morally Complicated Guy Shows is that he seriously has no ambition lol, his wildest dreams arent like becoming super rich or relishing in holding power over people, like all he wants is simple happiness, maybe career success, normal life stuff, his wildest dreams are like…. being able to have a wedding. having a kid or two. and theres something reasonable about that, it makes him relatable for a while until the show is very clearly like No dude, that is a fucking serial killer, you should not gaf! and you’re like oh right lol. it’s crazy to make such a simple desire seem so malicious but still human

#like the true success of the show is that he feels just as entitled as walter white even though what he wants is so much smaller #L + serial killer + you’re a war criminal + you’re abusive + kys #barry #but i think it threads the line a little where by s5 of brba i had 0 care for walt i did not feel any emotional attachment #and tbh by the end i didnt even find the whole corruption arc interesting because he was just so painfully malignant and annoying #but barry wants sooooo little. and he’s sooooo stupid. and hes soooo arrested development 15 year old boy #that it still manages to be compelling and he still manages to feel like a human being #not a knock on brba which is incredible television obviously just doing different stuff #idk. something about how it’s tragic but also held at an appropriate distance so as to be laughed at too #like: the irremovable mark doing violence leaves on you.. the inescapability of it… IS sad! it’s sad #and most often IS the result of social conditioning and masculinity constructs and your dads friend grooming you etc #but it’s not the prime sadness. which would be of course the victims of that violence #like. duh #walter my reaction is just. Well i wouldnt do that. I would never choose to do that so who cares #but with barry. all he wants is to not be defined by the hurt he has caused. which is something everybody wants! #but the extents of that hurt are so extreme and are teased apart so well in the show. like theres 0 apologia just exploration #anyway if im doing brba comparisons barry is literally todd

this'll prob be a flop poll but I'm just a curious person and do this anyways.

How many people do you follow that you have their post notifications on? (like do you have 5 people's post notifs on, 0 post notifs on?? do you have EVERYONES post notifs on?)

if your in the lower range, feel free to share whose notifs you have on (if u want ofc)

#for me. i only have two ppls notifs on which is mainly cuz i dont use tumblr mobile as much as i do tumblr desktop #so i never rlly pay attention to post notifs #those two ppl being bree (stellarfalls) and mattodore 🤧😵‍💫 #im also mostly on top of keeping my dash checked and seeing posts of ppls stuff that i like #so post notifs just dont really matter to me 😭 #i would be incredibly surprised if someone had my post notifs on cuz im such an annoying bastard 😭😭 #any result above 12 is already crazy to me but the idea that somebody might have over 100 notifs on is #insanely jarring to me like... my notifs would never see peace from tumblr if that were the case #i mainly put the last three or four results as a joke but if somebody actually has around 201-800+ notifs on lmk bc... i need to know- #-who you are LMFAOO #yapping

you should kill yourself if you spend 12 minutes sorting around your notes on your desk, making sure they look messy but also the prettiest ones are on top, posing your textbook open and having the most "academia" looking web page or lecture slides on your laptop screen before taking a picture and posting it on your social media story while quietly scrolling through songs to put with it.

#every time exam season comes around #people do this religiously #i hate it profusely it's so incredibly vain and pointless #you're like the people who go to the library for an epic study day and set up your big environment #only to sit on your phone for 5 hours #have the humility to be honest about your study habits and what works and what doesn't #i feel like its a form of cognitive dissonance this type of stuff and a form of lying to themselves #which is the one person you should always be brutally honest to #txt #i plan ahead and give myself so much extra time because i know my time efficiency is dogshit and i compensate for that #i try to avoid talking to other people about studying and i try to insulate myself when i am #of course for med school it's impossible not to talk about it as your classmates will bring it up in every third conversation #which opens the pandora's box of listening to other people talk about it which is atrocious as all people ever take away from it is #'oh my god everyone is doing so much more i'm so behind' #which isn't true everyone is in their own variation of hell just slightly different #i try to block it out completely when i can #med students have this annoying tendency to group themselves into these circles of self feeding despair and nervousness #i mean all of med insta is full of dogshit memes like this of the same 'le epic med stress' memes #kill yourselves you people are self fulfilling prophecies #josef lada ice these fools #to chce klid #as the man said #a taky trošku sebevědomí #and also not listening or giving a fuck what anyone else is doing #každý ma svůj systém a svůj styl #and have a life outside of this as well

i just got caught up on frieren: beyond journey's end and wow. wow. what an incredible 9 episodes so far. the concept is intriguing and the execution so far has absolutely no complaints from me, and frieren is honestly a great main character--there hasn't been a single side character i've disliked, either. and ough. the attention to craft is insane.

like. when the pink demon loli imitates eisen/stark's fighting style it's genuinely recognizable because stark has such a visible, memorable fighting stance (that half-crouch). i love it when anime take fight choreography seriously.

and especially when frieren claims that fern is a faster shot than her, you can kind of see it comparing the blonde demon twink/fern battle with the aura/frieren battle. frieren's shots are slow even if she dodges really fast while fern fights like she's packing a semiauto in her staff. plus the continued thread of zotraak being demon magic that frieren helped break down and build into demon-KILLING magic is insane btw. and the fact that frieren couldn't sense fern's presence by her mana when they first met is echoed in ep8 too?? I LOVE chekhov's gun used well.

#frieren: beyond journey's end #aurie liveblogs #i can really see this anime getting a 10/10 if it caps the story well at the end of the season at least from me #like not only is it gorgeous but the storytelling is really good #i love the tone and the pacing #i haven't had a wholehearted anime recommendation since chainsaw man aired but whew. frieren. incredible shit #i mean unless u count eminence in shadow but i'm annoyed that eminence in shadow is. decent. it's like. it's like subverted trash #which makes it clever and ultimately quite good but also exasperatingly irritatingly good #all this to say is that i've needed escapism and or a sweet calming break and frieren came at exactly the right time #she's also the most autistic main character i've ever fucking seen. god bless

me: yeah i didn't project too badly onto taob haha *sees a quote from taob randomly on a tiktok webweave about girlhood*

#HELLO?????? yeah zuko they girlhooded you. yeah no they transed your gender #idk if this makes sense but ur coping mechanisms are just sooo she/her #like do you have any idea how baffling this was like no tags no search no nothing it was just there by sheer luck #i saw it was a webweave about girlhood and i was like ohoughhee this will be good #got a few slides in. hello i recognise thAT FUCKING QUOTE WHAT IS HAPPENING #like it's such a niche quote and out of context like it was it could have been from ANYTHING #AND it wasn't credited which i'll get to in a second #but honestly i felt like a mother identifying her child through something incredibly niche like a single freckle or some shit #bc i was like 'this is such a nondescript quote and isnt a big enough moment for me to remember vividly and yet somehow i Just Know' #and low and behold i double checked with a cheeky ctrl+f on taob AND I WAS FUCKING RIGHT #WHAT THE FUCK #im a tad fuming there was no credit like the person used like 12 images and only 3 of them are Non-Tumblr Writing Quotes #and NONE got credited #like i get it's hard enough to get art credited but i feel with artists there's still a general conensus that you're SUPPOSED to tag them #but with writing people honestly just treat it like it's free real estate and the thing is it kinda IS especially if it's fanfic #but also..... why would you not just say who wrote that? like you clearly like it enough to put in ur little slideshow #so why not give credit where credit is due. annoying. bc now im like if this happened by pure fucking chance #then how many times has this happened when ive literally been totally unaware of it? #how many times have MY WORDS just been flung about tiktok without any acknowledgement that i wrote them? #idkkkk just how writing especially amongst tiktokers is treated as a lesser or watered down artform #that doesn't require the decency given to 'actual' art. i might just be being cynical bc i dont like tiktok tho lol #like girl (taob) what the hell are you doing at the devil's sacrament #taob

things you shouldn't say if you wanna claim the moral high ground.

(context being me pointing at that, yes, what susan sarandon said was actually antisemitic, which got me, like, 4+ paragraphs rife with false claims and Even More Antisemitism in response, apparently meant to be directed at me? bc they somehow assumed the only reason anyone would point out antisemitism is if they're a white jewish zionist. makes you think!)

#'maybe for once let Black and brown people speak about our oppression without claiming to share in it' #when all the while i'm a wholeass born and bred negro? an angry black woman if you will. unprecedented i know #i missed screenshotting 'white jews gave me trauma so i only follow antizionist jews n jews of color so i don't actually become antisemitic #and that comment has since been deleted bc that's incredibly indefensible. but you can probably still see my comment responding to that #(which is another thing. imagine using an ongoing tragedy and making it about Yourself. and you're in your 30s) #anyway! this place is a freakshow. and i'm not blotting out the person's name bc fuck 'em. that's on them and their bigotry #this was equal parts irritating and absurd. at least i'm posting this shit at 1 in the AM so it annoys less people on my dash #but i just needed this on record. like did you do it? did you fight the racism? did you win activism? should i clap? #rambles #antisemitism

I just need to rant for a second :)

Screaming into the void please dont judge me

#that feeling when you and the person you live with have to move out of two rooms of your flat because the flooring had to be done there #and your girlfriend just. doesnt. do. anything. unless you strongarm her into it at which point she snaps at you and treats you #like you are unreasonable for not letting her just sit there and ply video games while you do all the work #eventhough its her fault that we didnt even have a full week to prepare for it because she just took the fastest possible appointment for it #when they called her to do the appointment #also sitting there like 'it will be fine we can do it in time' yea no shit because i am actually doing all the fucking work #its not like i usually do almost all the chores anyways #i ask her to help me move her pottet plants she is just like 'no. not because i dont want to help but because i dont want to move them' #why does she have to act as if she is doing me a fucking favour when putting away her own stuff that she never cleans up otherwise anyways #i am tired #like great. let me just do all of the work and then get angry at me when i ask you when you will be able to cook after taking 'me time' #because i have to clean out the kitchen but you thought it was a good idea to bring meat that has to be cooked today #because from tomorrow on we wont have a kitchen for 7 days #but then you definetly wont do the dishes after cooking which means ill have to do it #ontop of all the other stuff #idk im just annoyed #incredibly annoyed
