  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    I want to unfollow more blogs but I would feel guilt maybe if I didn't have a reason.
  • I've been at a steady 58.

    I think most of the creepy weight-loss tumblrs have been taken down, so that's the actual number now.

    I've been hovering around 100 for months now. Right now I'm at 105...

    You know, I never really understood the point in tagging your queued posts specifically

    But I'm going to do it anyway so I have an excuse to use "#avenue queue"

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I only tag things myself if I want to organise them. I might start tagging them just for the hell of it, but I doubt that it will ever be methodical or consistent outside of stuff that I have produced myself.
  • The only tag I consistently use is "I'm going to need this later", which is for stuff so cool a simple like or reblog isn't enough.
  • Hey, do any of you guys remember that long prose poem essay thing that had a youtube backround?

    I was trying to dig it up the other day and I completely and utterly failed.

    ^^

    1. So do I. It actually works, which is surprising.

    2. Yes, he does.

    I tend to tag things if I think I'll ever want to find them again, since searching Tumblr seems to be a pain in the ass. I have a tendency to go "ooh, I wanna see [thing from 6 months ago] again!" quite often, so it's worth the extra second or two to tag it with something I'll remember.

    Also, I can't believe I'm dorky enough to say this, but that's actually Chalkboard, Apple's inexplicable knockoff of Comic Sans.
  • I knew it looked different!
  • ...why would anyone make a knockoff of Comic Sans?

    I thought that it looked too straight to be actual Comic Sans!

    Which sort of explains why it works, really.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Kexruct said:

    Because it's popular and/or needs improvement? (There are a shitload of comic lettering typefaces that perhaps owe their existence to Comic Sans)

    Anyway, Apple's not alone in knocking off a popular typeface; Helvetica's begat Arial, Palatino's begat Book Antiqua, Futura's begat Twentieth Century, ITC Avant Garde Gothic's begat Century Gothic, Blippo Black's begat Bauhaus 93...
  • Well yeah, I understand why knockoffs exist, just that it kinda confuses me why there would be a knockoff of Comic Sans.

    Because, as Anonus pointed out, it fills a niche and there is plenty of room to improve on it.

    Honestly, I've long gotten the impression that Comic Sans was sort of hastily made.

    It was designed for, of all things, Microsoft Bob, because Vincent Connare thought Times New Roman looked too stuffy or out-of-place in such a cartoonish environment.

    It wasn't ready in time for Bob's release, but the fact remains: it was originally meant for use at text sizes with old pixelly Windows 3.1 font rendering, which probably goes a long way towards explaining its ugliness in most other contexts.

    I guess what I'm getting at is: it's not all that surprising that someone would want to improve upon it.
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    It wasn't ready in time for Bob's release
    That's ok, neither was Bob.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    See, that implies that there's some way Bob could have been ready for a release...
  • i d ont want to be in a fandom ok being in fandom is like walking into a grocery store wearing a red shirt and you see another group of people in an aisle all wearing red shirts and so you walk up like hey whats going on and you start talking and they seem alright but then one of them starts pouring cereal all over the ground and instead of stopping them the other people start knocking shit off of shelves and dumping juice on the floor and you realize you dont actually know these people at all and so you try to leave the store but the whole group gets detained and even though you didnt actually help make the mess everyones going to think you did because youre wearing the same shirt
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    ^ I feel that way a lot. I don't mind individual fans, obviously, but fandom at large can be distressing.

    i posted it because i really enjoyed readin it and found it quite eloquent, not because i thought anybody here would be exposed to new ideas

    A good post. u_u Shame on patriarchy.

    ^^ Yeah, it's a great little essay of sorts.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    Gender roles and compulsory sex culture are perverse and twisted and disgusting and ruin everything that could have been nice.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Macklemore, Steven Moffat, Lady Gaga, and Eminem fuse to become one being who will be the final boss of Tumblr.

  • my dash is suddenly full of macklemore hate



    i have never seen eminem hate though, which is a pity.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    The Macklemore hate always kind of annoys me because it seems to amount to "he gets more attention than other hip-hop artists because he's white and they're black"

    Which, like, is a valid criticism and all

    But it's not a criticism of Macklemore himself, you know?
  • edited 2013-07-25 22:26:28
    Really I feel like hate for Macklemore comes more from a compulsion to hate something a lot of people are way too enthusiastic about than anything else.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    ^^ & ^ These things.
  • It kind of bugs me, though, even though I'm not a huge fan of Macklemore. He just seems like one of those people without a disingenuous bone in his body, y'know?
  • most of the hate i've seen has been of the "his fans act like he's some grand saviour of hip-hop and it's getting annoying" variety.



    plus he's annoyingly preachy, and apparently some people see him as acting "above" the hip-hop scene as a whole, which is something i cannot really comment on the validity of.
  • Again, compulsion to dislike something. I don't doubt that a lot of that stuff was outright made up.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Yeah, preachy can be annoying and that kind of idol worship is absurd, but isn't that the pot calling the calling the kettle black with respect to a lot of those people?

    I have no idea who this person is, but to hear that people are apparently disliking him "Hating" I shall now do research and give attention to him to try to understand why people are hating him.

    /subtle.
  • Macklemore is a white rapper based in Seattle who got famous for "Thrift Shop".

    He also considers himself to be an ally to the LGBT, and recorded a song in support of LGBT rights called Same Love about a year before Thrift Shop.

    Now that he's famous due to Thrift Shop, people are attracted to him because he's a rapper who's not like the mainstream rappers. And some of his fanbase laud him as the only rapper who has ever supported gay rights ever. This draws a lot of hate from people who are angry that this white guy is getting all the gay love when there have totally been black rappers who have supported gay rights.

    Oh no! We are really screwed. :o
