OK I DONT KNOW IF THE STEVEN UNIVERSE FANDOM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ALREADY BUT IF NOT I FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE THE EXISTENCE OF GEMDAT.ORG KNOWN TO EVERYONE MAKING SU OCS
SO I JUST DISCOVERED THIS SITE A FEW MINUTES AGO AND HERE’S WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT IT
OK? YEAH. YOU CAN SEARCH GEMSTONES BY COLOR AS WELL AS BY CUT, AND WHILE I THINK THE COLOR SEARCH IS PROBABLY MORE USEFUL, SEARCHING BY CUT IS PRETTY INTERESTING TOO
AND OF COURSE, IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF GEM YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, JUST REPEATEDLY REFRESH WHILE BORING YOUR EYES INTO THE “RANDOM GEMSTONE” CORNER
AND THEN, WHEN YOU GO TO A GEMSTONE’S PROFILE IT WILL GIVE YOU THESE
COLOR VARIATIONS!!!!
VARIATIONS OF THE GEMSTONE!!!
PHOTOS OF UNCUT SAMPLES!!!
AND OF COURSE A GIANT INDEX OF ALL THE GEMSTONES THEY HAVE INFO ON!!!!
THIS HAS BEEN A LOUD AND SOMEWHAT POORLY WRITTEN PSA!!!
Okay so wait a second here People with adhd, dyslexia, autistic people, and various other neurodivergencies are complaining that the update is inaccessible to them and makes the site hard for them to use, but you people are more concerned with how the roleplay community is affected by all of this???
All it does is show me you have a superiority complex and deep rooted classist tendencies. I’ve been a waitress, a barista and a sales associate, so your talking down to others just tells me at one point you would’ve talked down to me. This guy in the queue tried to buy me a coffee today, after ripping into the guy behind the counter about his skills and his job. Don’t care what people do for a living, if you don’t treat ‘em like (very important) people when you deal with them, we can’t be friends.
“A person who is nice to you but cruel to the waiter isn’t a nice person.”
I don’t understand how people don’t get this
It is terrifying. It means if you don’t adhere to their demands or if you make on little mistake, they can turn on you. I don’t deal with people who are nasty to others.
(It is a busy Saturday night. During the dinner rush, I have been dealing with a table of two 20-something year old men. The blonde one has found something to complain about every time I’ve walked by while the brown-haired one just blushes and stays quiet. They’ve finished their meal.)
Blonde Man: “Are you new here?”
Me: “No, sir. I’ve been a waitress here for two years and three years at [other restaurant] prior.”
Blonde Man: “Then you have no excuse for how terrible this service was. The salad was wilty, and the entree was way too cold, and you were nowhere to be found. Plus, this place is far too noisy; I could barely hear myself speak! Honestly, I get better service at a fast food place.”
Me: “I’m sorry you feel that way. While there isn’t much I can do about the noise, I did offer to bring you different food before, but you said no.”
Blonde Man:*waves me off* “Just bring me the check, and try not to be so slow about it for once.”
(I go and get the check, but when I return, the brown-haired man stands up and hands me a $20 bill.)
Brown-haired Man: “Here, this is your tip. He wasn’t going to give you one. As a former waiter myself, I thought you were doing a perfectly fine job. My food was great, and the service was fast even though you’re so busy right now.”
(He turns to his blonde companion.)
Brown-haired Man: “People like you made my job so much worse, especially for making us work that much harder for no tip. So thanks for the meal, but you can go ahead and delete my number because there will be no second date. And by the way,potjevleesch is supposed to be served cold, you idiot.”
(With that, he left the restaurant without his date. It made the whole night worth it, to see that blonde man speechless for once.)
I sent a message in and got a response in under five minutes. Reblogs and commenting on posts won’t fix this, but actual, submitted feedback might.
Don’t use chatspeak or all caps or threats, just send them actual, legitimate messages objecting to the update, the look, what it will do to the RP communities on Tumblr – whatever.
Send them feedback. They probably won’t read your blog posts, but they will read tickets submitted directly to them.
IF YOU’RE GONNA REBLOG ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE REBLOG THIS BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY WAY THINGS MIGHT CHANGE
Tumblr just replied to me saying that they are taking the feedback and relaying them to the engineers, so I guess it is pretty helpful if everyone mailed in their two cents about the update, because apparently they will be listening :o
