If You Receive This, You Make Somebody Happy! Go On Anon And Send This To Ten Of Your Followers Who Make

If you receive this, you make somebody happy! Go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. If you get one back, even better! <333

Well, thank you! I appreciate this, but... I'm really shy about these kinds of things - social anxiety shy. Someday, though, it will happen.

Oh, he is absolutely suffering! Even if things seem fine from his POV we only get a few minutes a day to see through his eyes in the lore videos. The remainder of the time is behind closed doors, and no one can see his what's happening in Sun's mind except for Sun himself.

So, fictional character or not, people have no right to judge how he's doing -- ESPECIALLY since he can't really be talked to. Saying Sun is "fine" makes me think of someone denouncing somebody else's depression, a mental condition, as being self-pitying. THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS.

The only people with the right to say what's definitely going on is, in this case, the writers.

And OH MY GOSH I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT SUN NOT GRIEVING LUNAR. Oh geez, that's... I don't even know!

Why no one is taking Sun's mental issues seriously?!

Sun changed but at what cost?!

Sun most definitely had psychotic episode during his "going solo after Eclipse" arc.

And people have audacity to say that Sun's "mental state is fine" and showrunners forgot about Bloodmoon's hallucination etc. etc. When in fact it doesn't work like that!

Sun is still suffering. He's still mentally not okay.

And I'll add this here. It doesn't matter that Sun knows that Lunar may be alive when he didn't properly grieve after Lunar's death. Because all those repressed emotions will come back. No matter Lunar being dead or alive! Heck, Lunar could even come back to the Daycare and Sun still will experience the aftermath of repressed grief.

I'll say this once again. I really appreciate the work Davis and Reed are putting into depiction of various mental issues in the show! Sun's mental issues are portrayed pretty much accurately imo. So thank you guys for treating various mental issues with respect. I love this show!

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

May is also the month of Google I/O, our annual developer conference. Whether you’re learning to code, deploying a helpful tool, building your portfolio, or starting a new community, .foo, .zip, .mov and .nexus have you covered. 

Here are some examples from our developer community:

gamers . nexus: Use gamers . nexus to review computer hardware and plan your next gaming PC.

helloworld . foo: Learn how to code “hello world” in each programming language.

url . zip: Create short, powerful and trackable links with url . zip

david . mov: Watch videos by David Imel in this liminal space.

Starting today, you can register all of these new extensions as part of our Early Access Program for an additional one-time fee. This fee decreases according to a daily schedule through the end of May 10. On May 10 at 16:00 UTC, all of these domains will be publicly available at a base annual price through your registrar of choice. To make it super easy for anyone to get their website live, we’ve worked with Google Sites to launch new templates for graduates, professors and parents.

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

totallynotavirus

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

HEADS UP! (Important)

Are You Ticklish? :3
Tumblr
make your title 'lurker' and your icon a fucking cheese i don't care. just look like a real person thanks 👍

I put this in the comments already, but just to be clear I'm hoping to have this effective by tomorrow. I think I should bite the bullet and start doing this quickly because the last three "followers" I got I'm pretty sure are spam bots. I don't want things to get out of hand and end up having over 100 "followers" that are bots.

If I want real people followers then I'm going to work for it, dangit!
