Cannot express enough how much I despise “paid” mobile game sponsorship offers.
I’d be able to do so much with $7240, but the requirements to earn that are absolutely insane. There’s no base pay for doing any streams or promotion, and there’s no payout unless you recruit 50 whales who THEN go on to spend hundreds if not thousands in microtransactions to raise their level.
Just a deeply disingenuous way of operating.
Disingenuous is low-balling it. You just described a literal pyramid scheme.
Not surprising with this kind of game-business but that is still hilarious.
Yeah, it’s frustrating - I’ve only ever been paid to play a game twice in my entire time of streaming and it was under $75 both times which is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But there’s other creators out there who fall victim to this predatory sponsorship stuff.
The Hello Fresh one was also terrible. They want you to completely brand your stream with Hello Fresh stuff and just become a mouthpiece for the company under the promise of earning up to $15,000.
The moment I saw that a few years back I actually cancelled our normal Hello Fresh subscription.
I’m seeing so many palestinian fundraisers that are getting completely abandoned by people the moment they meet a short term goal or a goal they need to extend, if not a bit before. This can’t keep happening, especially when one of the reason they need to extend their goal is because fundraising is taking so much time and the prices in Gaza are only going up. Making them wait even more will only exacerbate the problem.
These last few weeks, the complacency towards campaigns has been getting worse and worse and I don’t know why. I hope everyone reading this realise palestinians have been constantly victims of bombings, shootings, malnutrition and diseases for close to A YEAR now. This should not ellicit apathy at the amount of suffering we’re seeing from them everyday but the opposite! We should keep helping even more!
When the US and other western countries are more willing to give weapons to Israel than we are to donate $5 to a palestinian family, what does it say about us?
In any case, if you still care about helping people going through a genocide please consider donating to my friend Mahmoud @mahmoudjumaa1238 . He had to extend his goal to 20k because of the increasingly high living expenses in Gaza and need to get to 15k by the end of September. Since reaching 10k he has been receiving very few donations.
If you’d like to support musicians streaming rights and fair pay you should support United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) who are actively working against Spotify and services unfair streaming policies.
This is a link to write a letter urging your state representatives to support UMAW & Rep. Tlaib’s H.Con.Res. 102. Below is a link to their website with other ways to support them further!

We need to lay more blame for “Kids don’t know how computers work” at the feet of the people responsible: Google.
Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.
Tech literacy didn’t mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.
Linux is a very good and powerful alternative.
reminder: you cannot Personal Choises your way out of an Intentional Structural Problem
Fun fact! School Chromebooks block Linux. It’s not an easy alternative. You are missing the point
It is a horrific book which is responsible for so much bloodshed and misery but just know that every time you use the term ‘degenerate’ or ‘degeneracy’ to refer to a person or thing you don’t like you’re continuing the legacy of Max Nordau and engaging in fascist rhetoric. It is a word which has no place in the modern lexicon especially as a joke

When you need to use royalty free music but can’t find any you like so you make your own but then you remember you don’t know how to compose music but you spent all this time making it and you’re not turning back now
i was getting ready for bed and this gave me a heart attack holy shit
which Ocarina of Time boss is this
I love that the music is so offensive it’s got people ignoring how awful the snacks look
The conflict between children and adults in kids media works an allegory for class struggle. The controlling adults with all the power do not understand the needs of the children, and their class interests do not align, fomenting a rebellion within the child class. In this essay I will

alright alternate route for people who have problems (i understand)
do you guys remember when pokemon black and white came out and people thought that the desert route was where 9/11 happened since the region was based on new york
“i just wanted to bring it up so we could have a tasteful and productive conversation about 9/11 and pokemon”
clone rights activist: actually, the term “evil clone” is pretty cynical and misleading; we assume the clone wants to harm us because we’re irrationally projecting our own self-destructive desires and fears
evil clone: so true and based also. i am going to kill you guys though lol.
I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
VOTE.
YOU CAN GET YOUR PHONE OUT IN THE POLLS
YOU CAN’T TAKE PICTURES
BUT YOU CAN LOOK UP WHATEVER YOU WANT
LOOK PEOPLE AND POSITIONS UP IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY STAND FOR, OR WHAT THE POSITION IS
VOTE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BALLOT
LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TOO
I’m not even American but still shitting bricks hoping ya’ll don’t got full fash out of apathy
