what happened to his “freedom of speech” stance? lmao
for the record, parody laws also fall under the first amendment. and yeah, i know the difference between laws and twitter tos, but they make this exact claim whenever something happens to them
ppl make fun of creepypasta titles being too descriptive like “I went hiking with my class, it didnt end well” or “something’s living in my grandma’s basement” or “I’m never taking a job on craigslist again” but for someone with zero attention span, descriptive titles like that are a hell of a lot more eye catching and attention grabbing than some poetic one or two word title that doesnt even hint at what the story is about
creepypasta title: red curtains
me: what does that even mean, Im so bored *immediately scrolls past*
creepypasta title: every house on my block got a new antenna last night
me, immediately riveted, needs to know what happened or else I will die:
oh my god who put them there what are they doing where did they come from wh
DOES THIS NOT STRIKE INSTANT CURIOSITY INTO YOUR HEART
having been on tumblr for 10 solid years without ever leaving and now watching all these people come crawling back in after scorning it all this time makes me feel like a haughty king on a throne but also the court jester but also the castle itself but also the alligators in the moat because alligators are really cool
Why? I’m from Australia so I don’t know anything about this stuff
Because there should be public transit and trains. It is a ridiculously short flight that is just polluting the world unnecessarily but a lot of people don’t have a better option. There’s so many major cities in that small area that they should have train lines between them all
okay so like, I live in Baltimore. Boston is 8 hours by car away. But! There’s a direct train that goes there so I should take it and-
the train is 8 hours. Okay no big deal at least I’m not driving I can relax and-
the train ticket will run me one way between 100-300 dollars depending on when I buy it from Amtrak.
However, I can get an 80 dollar plane ticket one way on southwest, so I do that instead.
anyway it is beyond frustrating to be in the most used part of the amtrak system and still have train tickets be so goddamn cost prohibitive.
thats not a policy failure, its seven policy failures duct taped together
@ new users remember to set your dash to chronological. I think old users will forget to tell you this because tumblr never randomly resets it like twitter does, so afaik literally everybody switched over to chrono as soon as they tried to introduce non-chrono, and then promptly forgot tumblr even has a non-chrono view. on tumblr we really dont do the “all mighty algorithm” thing.
INSTRUCTIONS
Account -> General Settings -> Dashboard Preferences -> Turn “best stuff first” toggle OFF
(And maybe mess with some other settings according to your preferences—I personally nixed “stuff in my orbit” and “based on my likes” because I only want to see bullshit from the people I follow, not the rest of the site’s bullshit.)
