that article going around abt firefox’s new ad program is annoying bc it’s phrased as though “mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!” when. that’s not what’s happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
summary for those lacking energy/means to read the linked page:
firefox has very strong anti-tracking protections
advertisers keep trying to find ways around those protections
instead of wasting time and resources fighting all the ways these problems pop up, firefox is trying to remove the need for advertisers to track you at all
if you have this setting on, and you click on an ad (it’s only when you click on an ad and interact with the ad’s website - it’s not counting misclicks), firefox will make a note of it (this is only stored in your browser, firefox is not selling this part)
firefox then encrypts all that data so it can’t be traced back to you, before sending those notes to people who count them up
the advertisers will then periodically receive a report that says “hey, x amount of people clicked on your ad in this time frame. you can use this data to decide if this is the right place to put your ad”
hopefully this will get the advertisers the information they want without having to tell them anything about your specific browser history
if this still makes you uncomfortable, the way to opt out is very easy (go to settings -> privacy and security -> web advertising preferences, and uncheck all the boxes)
firefox is out here fighting the good fight guys. they’re the only browser that even slightly manages to stand up to chromium, but it’s a losing battle - spreading misinfo is just trying to sink the ship

been challenging myself lately to stop every now and then and look at the clouds. And ask myself what they look like. I think my imagination and creativity can be like a muscle. I think I can start using them again and building them again. That one looks like a giant worm boss monster. Clouds are cool.
water is so fucking good oh my god. water. WATER!!!!!! DRINK THAT SHITTTT
i watched an analog horror series like almost 2 years ago about a mind control parasite that enters your brain through the water and it made me really scared to drink any water for like three days but when i caved it was the best thing i ever drank and totally totally worth any evil mind control space worm parasites i might’ve picked up haha.
sounds like something an evil mind control parasite that enters your brain through the water would say
I consider myself a person of outstanding intellect, however, there are some objects which, if they were placed under a box held up by a stick tied to a comically long string, well let’s just say id consider it
hey, I’m just going to put these here for a second, if that’s okay :)
Thinking about the time my 7th grade math teacher called me ‘mediocre’ once so I wrote a short story about finding a lost child, letting her hide in the backyard, and burying her when she fell out of our tree and died.
I left it in a pile of make up work for her to find and she believed it enough to call the police and have them search for a dead body.
That is the day I consider my writing to have gone from “hobby” to “skill”.
In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.
Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.
Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.
And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.
How do you know so much about the social dynamics of medieval fairies
How don’t you
i mean isnt that just
logic
like powerful witch breaks into your party and is like “why wasnt i invited”
id immediately behead someone for supposedly forgetting to send a messenger then invite her to have my finest wines NOT INSULT HER TO HER FACE
They were worried she would do terrible things (to them, to Aurora, to the other guests…) if she were invited. Her nature kind of put them into an impossible position, where they risked catastrophe either way.
And then insulting her doused gasoline on everything.
Well, I like to think Maleficent was just going to give Aurora dragon powers.
i love normal guys who are somehow in insane queer online circles they’re like damn someone said something crazy at the office today i need to tell lilith, santiago and d0gpuk3 about this
makes me hopeful for a better world to see how many people relate to this. shout out to all these guys
I once saw someone say that Trump would make an absolutely fantastic bitchy drag performer and now I get mad every time he speaks not just because of his bullshit, but because they’re right. He could’ve been so fucking good at it. He could’ve been legendary. This man oozes talent in that specific field and in no other.
Cis men joke about how the arm they use to jerk off is stronger than the other and act like it’s just a dude thing when I damn well know the Hitachi magic wand weighs more than a dick

Part 2 of the shitten shenanigans. Again nothing canon but funny to draw. Part 1 here.
I think its fun to imagine Leshy being a weird uncle, and Aym and Baal may not be related to Narinder but they’re basically his adopted kids so by default they get a little shitten sibling too
found one of those codes at the bottom of my fanta bottle cap so i put it into mycokerewards and they gave me access to a room where i could see the one living dodo bird
