It is not something you can do accidentally, regards of what you’re talking about.

You can’t accidentally fake depression, or anxiety, or bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, or any other mental illness.

You can’t accidentally fake Borderline Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, personality disorders.

You can’t accidentally fake ADHD, autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, auditory processing disorder, aphasia or any other neurodivergence

You can’t accidentally fake being trans or ace-spec or aro-spec or any other LGBTQIA+ identity.

You can’t accidentally fake chronic illnesses like CFS, fibromyalgia or any chronic illness.

You also can’t accidentally fake being good/intelligent at something. You didn’t fool your peers into reaching your position.

You can’t accidentally fake trauma, PTSD/cPTSD, DID/OSDD/DDNOS or any other trauma-based disorder.

Tldr:

Faking is a conscious choice.

You cannot do it by accident.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.

And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.

me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.

By the way, Stephen Fry is Jewish (Jewish ancestry passes down the maternal line), and is “as proud of being Jewish as [he is] of being gay.”

I mean, I can get behind his other sentiments, too, I wouldn’t enter the heaven of a god like that either, thanks.

1) mind your own fucking business

2) take care of your own mental health first before attempting to dictate to others how to care for theirs

3) nothing about the human experience is binary, any attempts to simplify existence down into two categories of good or bad/right or wrong will fail because there will always, ALWAYS be someone or something that cannot be categorized. Doing this to human beings is oppressive.

Gays: "Omg what the fuck how do I tell what that is"

The literal back of the fucking car:

autism pride mean we all promise agree that we not all same .

some us need help you maybe not . autism pride mean you accept that .

some us have more in head than just autism . autism pride mean you accept that .

some us have thing in body also . autism pride mean you accept us .

OK so there’s a lot of posts out there where the op actually believes the tumblrcryptid joke is an NFT.

It’s not. If you look at the code, you can see this is a randomizer that picks a random image, some text from a list of lines, and one of your tags. 

And I actually researched this so I could tell you (due to some panic in the comments of these posts) you can’t accidentally reblog art that’s connected to NFTs and/or blockchain. That’s not how it works. Cryptocurrency is a very complicated thing. You can’t do anything to stop the “spread” of NFT art. You can’t accidentally support it. You must deliberately involve yourself. 

The tumblr cryptids shit is a poor attempt to read the room by @staff, who saw that a bunch of people were posting about it and thought it would be perfect for a joke. Rather than raise awareness about how solving one single “problem” on the block chain can use as much energy as one small country in a whole day, they decided to make a cute randomizer that poses itself as an NFT. 

You are NOT contributing to the cryptocurrency problem by playing with this. You are NOT a bad person if you posted one. You aren’t even on the cryptocurrency radar. 

Let’s fix that.

if you hyperfixate on dream, pdp, or whatever consider how you still watched people like dream and pdp even after it has already been well known that they are neo-n*zi freaks. consider your reactions to their actions and the way you treat what they’ve said about jewish people and people of color. consider how you still continue to post about them, ignore and never critizice their behavior, and support them or give them clout
