God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

was talking to one of my friends after they asked if engines could blush and it turned into discussing how engines are alive
and I wound up saying "the engines are sapient for the same reason the toys in toy story are , because theyre loved" and
but now Kips gave me the mental image of the engines pulling the “ANDY’S COMING!!!” shit when the Drivers and Fireman come around and when they do they turn into regular faceless engines
I have no
Are fedoras really that bad?
YES YES THEY ARE
headcanon I came up with while sketching old shape(?) human henry
he hates the sound of people cracking their joints and gets scared whenever someone pops their neck because he thinks theyre going to break it
"Fuck!" Said gordan.
Blame Kai.
Since people are coping with the current uncertain times by turning back to comforting childhood media like PjO and twilight, i’ve decided to crank that shit to 11 and have a thomas the tank engine phase
Nonbinary people can be gay and and can be lesbians for the love of god
thank you.
aint he tho?
ok people always peg loceit fusions as rational and in control of his emotions when? they're literally the two characters most likely to go the hell OFF when they're mad. like make deceit mad?? he's so furious and screaming so much he doesn't even try to work in lies or petty jabs, ALL he can think of is getting his point across no matter how enraged he gets. and logan?? make him make and he just up and leaves! get him mad? he's pissed off for like three minutes, then gets out! and if it's him getting mad over something petty, like a fight with roman for example, it turns into a screaming match!! he gets PISSED!!!
so new idea: loceit fusion is rage or wrath or anger or something of the sort, the logical half finding reasons to be mad and being able to Shut Shit Down with well placed arguments and the deceitful half being good at STAYING mad and holding grudges!! or basically just, ANYTHING involving the inability to tell emotions. logan "doesn't have" them and deceit's CLEARLY bad with them, so hell yeah i'm excited for loceit
i found it!!!

Us: Ok, Boomers.
Them:
Basically, Youtube as we know it is in deep trouble.
https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FTC-2019-0054-0001
COPPA’s new law basically makes it so that every single video and channel needs to be listed as whether it is kid friendly or not. If your channel is kid friendly, you will not be recommended on Youtube, you will not be able to have personalised ads, you will not be able to have any ad revenue of any kind.
So this seems easy? Just list your videos and channel as mature content that’s for 18+? WRONG! Somehow (not sure how yet, not even they are sure how this will happen) COPPA and the FTC will search for anything in your content that is deemed ‘kid friendly’. If you read their definition of what is deemed as kid friendly (basically: anything colourful, any ‘kid words’ like “cool” “awesome” or “whatever”, anything cartoony (animation falls into that topic no matter what)), you will realise that this is VERY vague and can and WILL cause problems when this is implemented. Not only that; if you are found out to have kid friendly content that isn’t marked as such, you will be fined up to $42,000. Obviously, for smaller Youtubers, this is a very big problem that could end their youtube career in a heartbeat.
This is all being done as action to protect children’s viewing limits online as well as protect data that’s used in the child’s activity online. (In my mind this is basically saying: parents have defaulted to pushing a screen into their child’s face to shut them up so much so, that now everything posted online is deemed a threat to children, and instead of parents bettering themselves, they’re asking the government to babysit for them.) This was something that has been coming for a long while and previous attempts to protect children’s activities online have been put in place, but now COPPA have had enough and are putting this not only into Youtube policies, but into LAW. But all of this is being made under enormous misunderstandings of how internet culture works. I’m sure you can think of so many content creators on Youtube that ride the line between being kid friendly and mature content; now it’s so precise that someone who has colourful lighting in their web cam set up are now deemed ‘kid friendly’, even if they’re saying “fuck” uncensored out loud. What makes it worse is Youtube’s attempts to make videos kid friendly since its demonetisation policies started will most likely still be in place: WHICH CONTRADICTS THE COPPA LAW. Any videos a Youtuber has done to monetise their videos (cut out swearing, not done copyrighted or mature content activities) will now fall into COPPA’s ‘kid friendly’ laws. So now we’re having to shift from being monetisation friendly to make money, to being as adult and not-kid friendly as possible in order to get money, but you’ll still get demonetised by Youtube. Creators will have to decided whether to get fucked by COPPA or Youtube’s old system.
This is a law that needs to be refined and altered. Otherwise this could be the end of Youtube. And this may not stop at Youtube…
But what’s important to highlight here is this is NOT something to 100% blame Youtube over. They were fucked by COPPA and the FTC: BLAME COPPA AND THE FTC OVER THIS, NOT YOUTUBE.
in the link you can comment on the policy. Please comment on it and outline that this policy is hugely vague and can either damage Youtube content creators and Youtube as a platform, or will be abused and will not work in the end. This needs to be either gotten rid of or fixed, FAST.
