Sooo... How Do You Guys Like My New Avatar? It's Not Exactly Dark And Mystical Like I'd Like It To Be,

Sooo... how do you guys like my new avatar? It's not exactly dark and mystical like I'd like it to be, but then again neither was my old avatar. I honestly had no inspiration with that one and decided I just wanted something pretty. XD

Credit where credit is due, this is from a game coming out next year called "Little Kitty, Big City". The trailer for the game itself is hilariously adorable, and there's a free demo on Steam and I just... get it. Get it. Get the demo. Seriously. Go get it. Now. I SAID NOW.

Also, no I'm not sponsored by the developers or anything (do people even get sponsored on Tumbr?). I just found someone playing this game and I'm in love with the demo. I've played it about four times over the past three days, and I played all the way through each time.

I can bring up a link to the video, but I'd like to ask the creator of the video if she's okay with it before I do anything. Call me overly cautious, but... yeah, I'm overly cautious with everything. XD

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".

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.

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.

There's going to be so much crossover art featuring everyone/anyone in the Security Breach Show and Hatsune Miku after today.

I hope there's plenty of art of people kicking this "Hatsune Miku"(if that's who she really is) out of the entire 'plex comforting Sun after this episode. He doesn't deserve even half the trouble he has to deal with! He did NOT need to be put down by an egotistical, hypocritical parody character!

I think I read that they're actually the shrine names spelled backwards.

some of the names of the shrines/roots are very inspired

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.

If you're referring to typical autism things, then I don't think we're "dumb" as much as we process things slower than typical people. Our thoughts get backed up and it's like a traffic jam in your head, if that makes sense.

I don't know where to even begin when I say there have been MANY times where I'm in a disagreement or debate and, when the other person seems to stump me, it'll take about 5 to 10 minutes to come up with a proper reply LONG after the conversation is over.

Slow doesn't mean dumb, it's just a stupid idea ingrained in us by the people who have an attention span of 7 seconds.

... Wait, am I taking this too seriously? I just thought I'd share, y'know...?

i'm both dumber and smarter than you think so don't underestimate me because i'm actually smart about a lot of stuff but also don't be surprised if i'm dumb about some other stuff hope that helps
