I also work for a university affiliated organization. Our IT department said we can no longer have printers on our desks, but will have to use network printers. I brought a cheap one from home. No one has said anything. I've been here 26 years, they don't want to lose me or have to replace me, I'm eligible for full retirement, and they know I'd do it in a heartbeat if they p*ss me off.
Nowadays, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook dominate the social media landscape, so it’s easy to forget how influential Tumblr was back in the day. But one community that hasn’t forgotten is r/tumblr on Reddit. This group shares curated content from the site that everyone deserves to enjoy, whether they actively blog on Tumblr or not. This community has a whopping 1.5 million members, and they diligently share the funniest posts and interactions they come across on Tumblr.
But if you’re not familiar with Tumblr, or never were an avid user of the social media site yourself, let’s first pay homage to this platform that was once a mammoth on the internet. As I noted before, Tumblr was launched in 2007 as a free-form blogging site. Users could create their own blogs, share content that they created or reblog posts from others and discover all sorts of art that they hadn’t seen elsewhere online.

Stop making kids eat c**p they don't like. You don't force yourself to eat things you don't like; kids are allowed to not like things. That being said, this is hilarious, and kudos to that kid.
At its peak, even many celebrities were on Tumblr, such as Lady Gaga and President Barack Obama, Business Insider reports. And plenty of indie bands and musicians skyrocketed in popularity due to the site, such as the Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey and The Neighborhood. Within only five years, Tumblr hosted over 42 million blogs and was valued at $800 million.
In 2013, Yahoo! acquired the platform for $1.1 billion, and it only grew in popularity from there. The site saw a 32.8% increase in number of users in 2014, and by 2015, Tumblr had over 260 million blogs. Today, it’s still the 103rd most visited site on the internet, and around the world, about 366 million people visited the blogging platform in February 2024.

The Taste Of Water
Ogidi Girl 1 year ago (edited)
Excellent indication of the fact that there are sounds outside of the range that we "hear" in the conventional sense which we are "hearing" in another way. Hence, when you introduce a different silence you create a sudden mismatch which is immediately detected. I like.

One aspect that without a doubt contributed greatly to Tumblr’s success was how unique the site was. At the time that it was created, social media was mainly for having a profile, such as Facebook and Myspace, and sharing content about yourself as an individual. Tumblr, however, allowed for much more creativity. Users could share a variety of forms of media, and there was no expectation to reveal your identity if you didn’t want to. “Long before Instagram launched, in 2010, Tumblr was a home for curated imagery,” Kyle Chayka explained in the New Yorker.

Ouf. I feel this. My dad pushed my brother's and my faces into our plates of food because we weren't hungry anymore and stopped eating. He wouldn't let us leave the table until our plates were clean so we just sat there, the three of us stubbornly maintaining our positions. Finally, he got fed up waiting for us to eat, he pushed our faces into the food on our plates. Mum cleaned us up and put us to bed. Next morning for breakfast? Our dinner from the night before with our face imprints in the food. I was five; my brother was seven. Yes, I have an E.D. (caused by much more than this, but my relationship with food has always been skewed because we always had to clean our plates. My dad was born right before WWII began and grew up in Europe where food rationing continued through the war and at least ten years after it ended.)

One time I was crying and blowing my nose because my mom was screaming at me, and she took the tissue box away and yelled that I was wasting them, she bought them for *her family* and I couldn't have them. That's pretty much defined our relationship ever since. When I did well in school, things were good (as long as no one mentioned anything even slightly related to something I'd gotten in trouble for in the past). When I did badly (which I increasingly suspect was due to an undiagnosed ADD-related executive function issue) I was completely worthless.

You absolutely can help yourself and "do something". There's always something to be done. You just have to DO IT YOURSELF now. You have to WANT to change. No one is going to pick you up, dust you off, and tap you with a magic wand. There are a lot of free resources on the internet where you can get started. Talk to people on a forum. Find a free therapist. Take the first step. You aren't at fault for what your mom did to you, but you are the one RESPONSIBLE for helping yourself.

Insulin

This is heartbreaking. I am glad i live in a country where people have to pay exactly 0 for their insulin. Yeah yeah "but free healthcare isn't really free, you pay it with your taxes" and i am damn HAPPY we do, so people who need life saving meds don't just DIE.

I paid my share of taxes for everybody with healthcare needs for 30 years, never saw a day in hospital and then suddenly I was hit with one after another personal healthcare issue, my parents too, mum became insulin dependent, had hip surgery and a bypass plus many other things, dad had a stroke, developed vascular dementia, had hip surgery, intensive care needs then passed away. All in a 6 year span. You don't want to pay for others? What about when it's your turn or someone you love? We would be destitute and likely on the streets or dead by now if it wasn't for public health.

That’s not a matter of insurance vs free healthcare. That’s a pure scam. Insulin costs close to nothing. There is absolutely no intellectual property/patent/proprietary technology involved. None. Insulin in hospitals in Europe (for healthcare professionals) costs less than 5 euros… a litre (yes, a litre). Your individual dose has a retail cost of 1-2 euros/dollars and that’s mainly to pay for logistics and packaging. Anything above is a ripoff.

Over a century ago, Frederick Banting and his student Charles Best were the first to purify insulin (not synthesize it) first from dogs, then from cows. They got a Nobel prize for their work. They patented it solely to prevent others from doing so and sold the patent to their university (U. of Toronto) for 1 dollar (=$0.94 US dollars in 1923 or $17.27 US dollars today). Many people are alive today thanks to their careful work and generosity!

The editors and animators for SpongeBob were so offended by the religious right accusing them of putting subversive sexualized content in a kids' show that they actually VERY CAREFULLY and strategically started doing it. Basically, no child would ever catch it but a total pervert would. So anyone who tries to call them out just shows their true colors. (I dated one of them in college and we remained close. It is one of the things I admire most about him.) They are almost all Gen X and parents themselves. It was very much a "we will give you something to cry about" situation for a few episodes.

Tumblr has made a lasting impact on the internet that we’ll never forget. And you can still use it today, although you might think that the site looks a bit outdated at first glance. According to Allegra Rosenberg at The Verge, part of the reason why Tumblr has been left behind is because it couldn’t keep up with the ever-changing landscape of social media.
Well, it probably could have, but Tumblr users are notorious for being resistant to change. “It’s a long-standing inside joke that users will immediately reject any change to their precious Tumblr, taking a long time to finally adjust and accept it,” Rosenberg writes.

During WW2, in North Africa, the British were due to move on from a port town, and the Americans were to move into that town after them. A British officer, not keen on Americans, would round up a truckload of local kids, take them to the outskirts, pay them a few pennies each, and teach them English phrases. When the Americans arrived, they were not greeted by the cheers and salutations they expected, but by a barrage of insults, of which 'you lousy Yankee bastard' was probably the least offensive.

He hated the fact that the most scarred or acne-prone or just plain ugly aristocrats always had flawless skin and gorgeous faces in their portraits, and he didn't want people to remember him for his looks, but his deeds.

Tumblr actually does have an option for infinite scroll, a feature that has been cited for making TikTok so addictive, but aside from that, it has its own unique layout and look. In fact, every user can have their own unique experience on the site as well, as there are plenty of options for customizing your theme. Even third-party themes are available for purchase or download. It’s easy to feel like we’re all just cogs in the wheel of the internet, but at least on Tumblr, you can feel like you have your own special wheel.

Buried memory uncovered. Mable Mable strong and able get your elbows off the table.
GirlFriday 1 year ago
No elbows on the table came from a time when dinner parties could last for HOURS and was meant to keep one from slouching, propping, or sleeping at the table. It could also lead to mishaps (sometimes dangerous) - this is why you were served from the side, asked for something to be passed and kept your elbows off the table. So you didn't fall asleep, knock things over, set the house on fire. Source: finishing school.

My guess? Elbows on the table probably meant you were propping, thereby showing boredom AND spinally ruinous posture.
JB 1 year ago
IIRC the origin of “elbows off the table” dates back to trestle tables that were just planks of wood balanced on trestles instead of being attached to the legs. People who rested their elbows on the table could accidentally knock/push the planks off along with whatever was on the table. So, that’s how at one time it was a problem. I find it interesting that although common use of this type of trestle table stopped hundreds of years ago, the belief that it’s good manners to keep your elbows off remains and hardly anyone knows why.
Symantha Reagor 1 year ago
The elbows on the table was a rule that was made back in like medieval times when people ate in like the dining hall, and the tables were literally planks of wood, balanced on s**t. And if you put your elbows on the table, you could flip the plank of wood.

While it’s likely that you spend much less time on Tumblr today than you did a decade ago, if you were on the platform during its golden age, it’s never too late for the site to become popular again. In fact, according to Financial Times, it’s been gaining traction amongst Gen Z for the past few years. Almost half of its active users are 25 years old or younger, and apparently, the most popular film among the platform’s fandom in 2022 was Disney’s Encanto.

Actually, not in the slightest, Richard Graham. If we're ready to once again recognize laws can enumerate, protect or recognize rights, but that rights do not depend on such enumeration, protection or recognition to exist, that's wonderful. But at the same time, the notion that Hitler operated legally is toxic to a nation of laws. The brownshirts, Krystallnacht, the burning of the Reichstad... none of that was legal, and what was legislated stemmed from an illegal takeover of the legislature. Hitler relied on the citizenry being terrified of each other; nearly all Hitler mentions in modern politics, especially on the internet, ironically rely on that same tactic.

We could all probably benefit from spending less time on social media, but if you’re going to be scrolling, Tumblr might be the best place to do so. The algorithm on the site doesn’t work the same way as other social media platforms, which push the same content to many users. Instead, you have to find and follow what you really want to see, which can be a little more work, but can also help you get creative and find unique posts. It’s also a less popular site now, so you might come across information, art and music that you won't find anywhere else!

This is the very definition of "non-place" as defined by Marc Augé in the late '90s, a fascinating concept. Those are not places where anyone *live*, people just pass through in anonymity, without meaningful interactions and without building social networks or memories. The lack of experiential constructs deprives the places of "historical sense", making them timeless (in a "temporally undetermined" sense, non as in "eternal"). It's a concept very well known in architecture, it is basically a mandatory reading.

I'm all for rehabilitating sharks, but it is worth mentioning that their "continent" (as opposed to the hippos) is not generally inhabited by all that many people. We go there for fun (snorkelling, diving, swimming, surfing) and occasionally work (research, fishing - but even then mosly on ships), but mostly we keep out of the sharks' habitat.

Speaking of presidents (and a fun stupid story in case you're into that sort of thing) , urban legend is that in 1963 JFK told a Berlin, German crowd he was a jelly donut when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner". But in that city at that time his words were completely accurate. While "berliner" was used in other parts of Germany as slang for "donut" no one in Berlin would have believed that's what he meant. It was actually Time magazine who reported the donut story 25 years later and claimed the crowd laughed. AH's. There's no proof any of it happened.

I always found her attitude bizarre. especially as Dog Grooming is a fairly niche service, it's not like it was the nearest place selling toilet paper or anything.

Killing a person is much more challenging than you think. They have a knack for getting back up again. The immune system is a challenge to infiltrate, as is the skin and muscle, and even the physically weakest person can fight back strongly enough. What you'd need is to mix bleach with ammonia to create a gas to weaken the individual, or perhaps carbon monoxide? Wear a gas mask for preventative measures. When they become compromised, THAT is when you can strike, as you'll have the upper hand. It's useful to live in an area with alligators, because they remove all traces of any bodies you may dispose of. Not that I'd know, of course.

Hunger Game (Literal)
Zoey Rayne 1 year ago (edited)
I recently reread the Hunger Games trilogy. (I'm 34). It does not translate to the films well at all, but Katniss choosing Peeta over Gale in the books is 90% allegorical. Gale represents violence and bitter revenge; Peeta represents compassion and hope for a better future. Katniss marrying and eventually having kids with Peeta in the epilogue is mainly a metaphor for the how she chooses the move forward from her trauma. The boys are just stand ins for inner struggle about how to respond to the Capitol. The love triangle aspect has almost nothing to do with it. That's also why she knew Gale well from a younger age and struggled getting to know/getting along with Peeta. Katniss' responses to the boys' actions and her eventual turn towards Peeta move the story along while showing her changing worldview. Gale, for the most part, gives up on humanity, but Peeta doesn't.

Bread In The United States
Alyssa Phillips 1 year ago
I thought they were commenting on the fact that due to its sugar content, most of American bread is considered cake in some countries.
Jrog 1 year ago (edited)
Stats time! Fresh bakery products account for $25B out of $70B for the whole baked goods market, meaning only slightly more than 1/3rd of the market is made by non-packed, non-frozen or non-long-storage stuff. In the rest of the world is the other way around. Back to the USA. "Proper", i.e. non-industrially manufactured, fresh baked products account for 1/4th of the fresh share, i.e. 1/12th of the total market. Of this, about 1/3rd is bagels, 1/5th is cupcakes and muffins and about the same is other sweet treats. Thus, just about 1/24th of the total market is in the category of "fresh locally baked bread and rolls", a ludicrously small share.

Fun fact!! When they started selling bread pre-sliced, the advertising slogan was, "The best thing since wrapped bread!" since that had been the last great innovation in bread-selling in the US. Later, the phrase "the best thing since sliced bread!" was used as an advertising slogan. So this saying in the US actually started out as people jokingly repeating an advertising slogan and applying it to every subject under the sun, not just bread.
