#fuck modern internet

[anteroom-of-death]

Sobbing cause I was looking up an author for a book I read and their website hasn't been updated since 2007 and there's no trace of them since and I miss websites and creativity and the old internet and I'm sick of social media and everything being the same. The internet is boring now. I'm stuck refreshing the same 5 apps and I experience none of the wonder.

#personal #fuck capitalism #fuck modern internet #i feel empty #i feel like crying #internet nostalgia #i buy one used book from 2004 and now im crying in the club #remember when everyone had their own unique sites #why is everything the same #i just want to feel something #anything #help #idk #originality is dying #not to sound like a boomer but we used to be a proper nation #am i old now?

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually! #i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases... #...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety... #...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety... #...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

I've seen takes about Shang Quinghua pressing the Return Home button (either on purpose or by accident) and I've also read takes where the System for some reason (a glitch or a new mission) sends both SY and SQH to the modern world. And they are great BUT.....

What if SQH pressed the Return Home option (I'm thinking on purpose, but you do you) and the System sent both back home.

Let's say that the System didn't give SY that option because he isn't user number 1 and it was up to user number 1 to make this choice. Only, because the System is such an asshole it conveniently disregarded to tell either SY or SQH this.

So SQH not knowing his choice would also affect SY (otherwise he would definitely use this to get SQQ to do as he says, like getting LBH to give him the best food 😂) decides that he will take his chances on the real world. I'm thinking that he does this in part because the System actually answered when he would wake up and told him that in the real world no time has happened or that he would go back before he spilled his ramen and electrocuted himself. The other part could be that he just panicked upon seeing LGY. Or maybe he never saw LGY and was able to explore and sightsee some of the wonders of the world he wrote about and decided that this was as good as it would get here, whereas now that he lived in a cultivation setting he had so much fucking material. He could even write the danmei version of PIDW thanks to Cucumber bro!

So he activates the return home function and proceeds to write SVSSS, only he changes the name of Peerless Cucumber to another dick joke to avoid getting sued, you know, just in case.

For his part SQQ/SY hears the System saying "Activating Return Home sequence in 3, 2, 1" and he proceeds to freak out, except of course he doesn't have time to properly freak out and/or say anything before everything goes black.

SY wakes up in the hospital, his sister found him passed out and proceed to call 110/120*. Because this is SY and he no longer can hear the System he proceeds to go in denial/repression. "Ah... It was all a dream of course" (and to be fair, this would be more of a normal reaction than how he immediately accepted he had transmigrated 😂).

Until some weeks/months/days!? (Knowing Airplane it was probably days) later, Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky starts publishing an spin off/AU of PIDW named SVSSS.

Meanwhile back on SVSSS world either (and because I love SJ and he deserves a happy ending and because YQY also deserves a happy ending and I want these two to reconcile 😭 and what are fanfics for if not to write happy endings for everyone!?!):

SQQ'S body goes into a Qi deviation and SJ wakes up (resuscitates? I'm thinking the System grabbed his soul while he was deviating and put it into storage so SY's soul could occupy the body). Obviously SJ proceeds to FREAK OUT and runs away to CQM sect.

SQQ'S body just stops working. One moment he is breathing and the next he is dead. Somewhere out there SJ wakes up in a plant body (at some point SQH tried to bring back his favorite scum villain and gifted YQY a mushroom plant body with some precise instructions to care for it without telling YQY exactly what the plant was, because he believed if someone could bring back SJ it would be his soulmate YQY, but in case he was wrong better not tell YQY why or what the plant he gifted him was for)

SQQ'S body basically becomes brain dead. Technically alive, but since there is no soul inside the body it is as good as dead (SJ comes back with a healthy plant body and reconciles with YQY in CQM)

In any of these scenarios LBH will freak out, obviously, but in the case of scenario 1 he would have no reason but to think that this like the first time SQQ lost his memories, only now he recuperated many of them and lost the ones that involve LBH. So I guess the best option for a BingYuan reunion would be to go for 2 or 3 because LBH would be looking for SQQ|SY soul not SQQ|SJ (who is alive and safe in CQM sect) but I don't really care for this pairing soooo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Upon crawling out of the earth, SJ encounters YQY who immediately knows that this is Xiao Jiu, he would have the confirmation of what he already knew, that the other SQQ was not SJ. He still has no explanation to what happened or how SQH was able to return SJ to him, but he is glad and thankful to SQH.

SQH who has disappeared. Literally, his body did a Thanos snap and became dust or simply glitched out. Because SQH was never from this world. He was born in this world and given the role of SQH but his body is technically not the one of the original but supplanted it. Similar to a changeling only it was the System and he did this from the womb.

I don't know how it would go from here, kind of a dealers choice, if you want Moshang and BingYuan(?) HEA or if CumPlane HEA in the modern world. Or happy ending for Airplane who now can dedicate time to write whatever he wants because he already has SVSSS written thanks to the System and while that sells he can concentrate in writing other things.

So funny when people make posts like "if you REALLY had [disability here] you wouldn't be ABLE to have a social media account" like god forbid disabled people do anything that isn't lament in total isolation until they are Fixed or until they die.

#thistle--down #disability #tw fakeclaiming #i shan't address the post that originally baited me into posting this because- #30 seconds on their blog was enough to see it was All about the attention for them and i refuse to give it to them. #disabilities do make social media difficult. be it pain or fatigue issues. motor issues. intellectual issues. ptsd and trauma issues. #others that are no doubt slipping my mind right now. #like you aren't going to see the people who aren't able to uae social media on the internet. #you aren't going to know when aomeone takes a step back from social media unless they tell you. #otherwise - all you see is a dead blog. a gap of a few weeks or months perhaps (if they return) #you dont see the systems people have in place to Use social media unless they show you (and you are not entitled to being shown) #social media is a huge part of modern life. diaabled people don't need to avoid it to prove to some fucking creature on the internet #that they are Disabled Enough. #get the Fuck out.

All websites and apps should HAVE to give you the option of showing your password when you type it. How the fuck else are you supposed to know if you’re actually entering the right thing and you need to reset it, or if you’re just making a fucking typo thirteen times in a row.

Fuck this “we’ll keep you safe against your will” security theatre bullshit. If I’m sitting alone in my house with no one but the cats to see what I’m doing, I should be able to see what I’m fucking doing I think, actually.

(The cats already know all my log-ins anyway, it’s too late.)

[comfortfoodcontent]

The new modern internet dominated by social media, culture wars, capitalism, brands, monetization, cancellation, insanity brainrot, overall nastiness and fake bullshit where every single person needs to have an opinion on literally everything is such a mistake. Social media is a mistake. Everyone is in bloodthirsty competition with each other for validation. It is sad and tiring and so unhealthy. I've made so many moves trying to leave the space after it rewired my brain to log off and deprogram but it is hard. I miss when the internet was a wild west of people just fucking around and making stuff for themselves or their friends, following their passions and largely acting pretty normal as they definitely spent some time absorbing life through a screen but also lived in the real world. We have a whole generation now that never knew what it was like before, raised and molded by a world where they are not in the real world, but safe behind a screen in their own reality. It is fucking BLEAK. I don't see a way back to what it was and I feel so sorry for everyone caught up in it, including myself. I post here on tumblr as it seems to be the only place left that is a link to the old internet that still exists in a functional, easy to use form. I barely interact with others and don't care about the social aspect of this place and tend to post or write solely for myself, just to get it out there and archive things that bring me joy. I say all this because I truly have come to a point where 90% of the internet now brings me no joy. I want to disengage entirely. The real world is so much more rewarding. I enjoy my time on here, but just like my now defunct Twitters, I will be using this app less and less. I still want to run my CFC Canon sister site and posts and I like having this to post random panels from a comic or old ads or old video game magazine pages but I also just don't want to be a member of the cycle of soul draining fake bullshit anymore. I don't think the modern internet is for people like me anymore. People seem gleeful to destroy others and destroy themselves in the process, to be a brand, to be anything other than a real authentic human being who has empathy and a life. I don't want to continue to lose sight of reality and exist behind a screen on social media, so this is my rambling way of trying to quit here too eventually. When you do use social media, try to be responsible, try to be empathic, try to remember what normal, real life is and how human beings are weird, lovely, fucked up things containing a myriad of contradicting elements. No one is just one tweet, one brand, one thing. Try to accept others or at the very least just stay the fuck out of things you have no stake in. Essentially shut up, log off, and stay true to you and yours. Be good everybody

literally every time i hear of something that is "happening on tiktok" it's the worst fucking trend imaginable where clearly nobody ever stopped to think critically about it for even just a second and my life would have always been better not hearing about it like. ever

#i fucking hate tiktok soooooooo much <3 #i used to like watching videos of funny youtubers make fun of those shitty trends #but i don't even have the patience and the energy for that #truly the worst kinds of people hang out there and just say and do whatever with no moderation on the site's behalf #fucking awful #sorry for the rant lmaooo but my partner told me about smth yesterday and i also just saw a different post #and i fucking hate it here (the modern internet)

hi ::) whats ur favorite word?

first ordeal, I'm studying linguistics. I know my words, you just hit an awesome nerve

the simplest answer is "Kurwa", because it's a beautiful word and such a useful one at that

however, i cannot use it. I have a speech defect that makes me sound funny when I curse out my friends. I have been told that I sound "cute" when I yell it but like I just called you a slut!!! bitch!!!

I know that it isn't a question about swear words but they are infinitely more interesting to talk about then normal words, so to answer your question - my favourite word is: "jeb"

What is "jeb" you ask - its an onomatopoeia. Simplest translation is "FUCKING SLAM" in all caps, just like that. Surprisingly useful!

Real life example from a conversation I had a week ago:

"I'll be sitting in my room all quiet then JEB kurwa my neighbor shut the door so hard the walls shook and he wasn't even done I'm trying to focus as he goes JEB JEB fucking insane"

Beautiful word!

You know I'm not even done with it! Jeb can be just the core of many, many beautiful words. Basically it's a core word to be used to make a swear word out of a verb. A few examples:

jebać - to fuck

zajebać - to fucking steal/kill/punch

przyjebać - to fucking punch

ojebać - to fucking eat whole

and also other useful words like

zajebiście - fucking awesome

Fun fact! You can do the same things with cores "kurwa" and "pierdolić" snd others so have fun with that

Another fun fact, with slight changes this will ALSO work in other Slavic languages (which is literally my studies rn), like in Czech or Ukrainian I think, and all the others will have some version of that. Definitely "Kurva"

My most favourite non-swear word is probably szczęście because foreigners make funny wide eyes at that

#it means 'luck' #ok im sorry for the long post i had to get it out of me #my favourite english word which is probably what you were going for is probably like #i need to think about this #my LEAST favourite word is 'world' because im UNABLE to pronounce it it's a losing battle #obsessed with german long words #i once said Staatsgerichtshofbrandstiftung as a joke and it's stuck in my head #its like 'arson of the constitutional court' or something #it's not an official word mind you.. its two words stuck together ill let you figure out where one ends and other starts #ok but my fav english word uhhhh #im a big fan of how in modern times other languages adapt english words for technology like email or google and fucking #frankenstein them into their grammar making abominations like croatian 'mejlove' and others #so there's that #i like the internet words like uwu and stuff #did you know that when you search up uwu on wikipedia there are two pronunciations english and polish #cuz we say it like : #uvu #becaus of different phonetic transcript #it is 2:30 i am going to bed #glad to could have rambled at you #much love to you mutual #hope anyone finds this monologue mildly entertaining #pewce and love uwu #young master is saying things?? #many #many things #i love you shrimpathizer!!! friend spotted!!!!!!!!! #'drops s fucking novel on your knees'

#lab notes #old web #<- sorry thats my catchall tag for this sort of stuff #anyways i cant wait for social media to die as a concept #humans were not meant to be interacting with this many people at once and being faced with so many differing opinions with nothing to conne #t us together #idk what will come next but forums were a damn good way to have people with familiar interest come together and not have to face the sea of #social media bullshit. #dont get me wrong they were not perfect. not by a long shot. #but GOD. at least they fostered conversation and genuine human connection. #unlike social media which is just. 'post the most outrageous thing to farm rage engagement.' #'assume everyone is acting in bad faith at all times. also assume the worst of someone if they like a thing that makes you uncomfortable.' #i hate the modern internet so fucking much. #i miss when 'dont feed the trolls' was common adage #old man yells at the cloud

i have been blissfully only watching media from before 2010 for the past while that hearing janine say "no tiktok dances" in step class was like being thrown in that river and almost drowning again

#shit caught me so off guard #i saw a comment on one of my avanine fics and now im watching step class bc duh #blissfully existing in a version of the world that existed before the internet was used in the way it is now #jumping back to modern media is so insane like what #the fucking hell are our lives #mis cosas #this statement is untrue but is funnier that way #i did almost drown in a river that part is true

no you know what i should reread. mangoball

#text #happy 2 years... iykyk #i should reread it. i will have to grit my teeth about who the characters are based off #but it is literally one of the funniest works of modern satire and it's such a shame that it can't be recognized as such #due to being absolutely fucking insane to anyone not deeply intimately familair with The Internet

[collgeruledzebra]

i fucking hate every article that pulls this shit a free trial is not equivalent to an entirely free program!! fuck off! fuck off!! i looked up free because i don't have money to spend on this shit! you should be ashamed of your stupid deceptive marketing i wish there was a way to rescind having clicked on a link so you wouldn't even get ad revenue from my time you wasted

#what is the point WHAT is the point. i fucking hate the modern internet!!! go to hell!! #original #personal tag

I think one of the things that annoys me about youtube becoming un-useable, is not just that I've lost a form of entertainment, but also knowledge. Like I'll google something and the answer would be in a short 3 min instructional video. Or a long tutorial that I can watch or skip through. Or a game guide/walkthrough. And I have to very purposely click on links that arent youtube videos :/

It's sad and annoying.

sorry everyone I'm Normal Again I think

tbh I have like, weirdly complicated history with Ghiralink because "I was there Gandalf" but I can get into that context later, rn I'm tired and finally have the correct meds so maybe I can be less intense on main without putting myself in designated grass-touching time-outs after every post

#shea muses aloud #maybe one day i will share some Thoughtful Analysis And Perspective but for now it is summed up as like #'do not cite the deep magics to me witch i was there when they were written' #and you (general problem-havers) have no idea how fucking easy you have it with the modern awareness #surrounding authors tagging CWs and being safer about how they present triggering work #very much i am old man yells at cloud about this because i experienced some shit online as a teen #and decided i wanted to enter the space with an improved approach #yet people are telling me myself and similar others are the problem from ten years ago #like buddy. we were the teens reading back then. now we're adults going 'yknow maybe this stuff should be #handled more responsibly' #and it is stupid and ignorant as hell to disregard all that work #local mentally ill enby (me) yells at cloud and considers longterm internet break before total necrosis of brain tissue hits #i rambled. i must nap now goodbye.
