huckleton Wrote:basically a popular transfem tumblr blogger (predstrogen) has been complaining for months that tumblr support does nothing about the stalking and harassment she was receiving; she made a post on her blog wishing over-the-top cartoon violence on the CEO of tumblr (imagine "i hope the ceo gets exploded in a car covered with hammers" it was something completely ridiculous) and got her account completely nuked. this pissed a lot of people off and photomatt (the tumblr ceo) doubled down for some fucking reason and basically had a Public Social Media Meltdown, at some point he threatened to call the police and FBI on the girl who was banned, he started DMing individual people who were criticizing him for all this, he ended up accidentally revealing that the "there was actual TERFs on tumblr staff" theory was previously true, and people are calling for a lawsuit

brilokuloj Wrote:i think one of the main things is that her account got nuked for false accusations like sexual content that wasnt there or something
i dont follow her but i do look at her blog from time to time and its never gotten any more graphic than shit i've posted on this dumbass site for years
i think like "getting banned for wanting the CEO to explode" would be. not exactly Reasonable but certainly To Be Expected. but lying and sexualizing her over it is so classic terfy tumblr gaslighting

like i have seen this happen with her and others and the staff can never give a straight story on why they are doing what they are doing. and i usually try to be skeptical when people are alleging they are getting singled out (sounds mean but this IS the piss-on-the-poor site) but it is indeed consistent that on tumblr trans women get banned and staff manifests a completely bullshit reason that makes no sense

Photomatt in response to people telling him he is not being threatened Wrote:Ah sorry, | missed the first part of the post, where it says it hopes | die forever a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and the hammers go flying everywhere.

Photomatt on the future of the site Wrote:As far as I'm aware improving moderation tools both for staff and regular users wasn't on TumbIr's roadmap when I left, but I hope this raises awareness within the team. When I'm back to work in May this will definitely be on my mind. as well as if we should continue to invest TumbIr at all if it's going to harbor such toxicity and harassment. The mob misinformation and harassment makes people scared to work on Tumblr, and likely drives away scores of good creators, Blaze posters, advertisers, and subscribers—the folks who will make Tumblr a sustainable endeavor.

The cherry on top came this morning when I learned Photomatt had leaked dozens of Avery's NSFW sideblogs, IN A REPLY TO ONE OF HER SELFIES ON TWITTER:

Photomatt Wrote:When will you be honest with your followers? That the repeated adult content violations were not pictures like this, but likely ones on your other accounts (actual names): [REDACTED, but some of the most amazing blog titles I have ever seen]

A new build has appeared in Nariko!

Nobody seems to have seen it get built, is the thing... it seems to have just manifested overnight. The Mayor is taking credit for it, though.

The real question is, why is it in a hole? The Mayor promises major terraforming, soon, "once he's cleaned out all that lava". Uh oh.

Feel free to put your breedable animals in here! Sorry about the morbid rabbit hole, I didn't really know what to do with it otherwise.

I've added so many new smilies I can't even keep track of the little bitches! Here's the selection, roughly by topic:

I batch processed a lot of these because Jesus Christ. I'll go back and make the worst of them more readable later. And I will also post a list of explanations for the weirder ones.

Some of the more video game-y ones are gonna be badges for the badge shop.

Here's the even bigger list of ones that didn't make the cut for one reason or another, whether for not being Eggware-related, being art I felt like I couldn't use, or literally couldn't find them or whatever:

Quaker recalls dozens of granola bars and cereals due to a possible salmonella risk

Quote:The FDA on Friday announced that the Quaker Oats Company is recalling a variety of granola bars and granola cereals due to the possibility that they are contaminated with the bacteria salmonella, which can be deadly.

Quaker Oats Recall List

Quote:Affected products all have expiration dates of Oct. 31, 2024 or earlier, per the FDA. Anyone with the recalled products in their pantries should dispose of them.

How did "the quaker oats guy shit in all of the products?"

Quote:We don't know yet, and we might never know. Keep an eye on updates from the FDA and CDC. You may be able to receive additional information from a FOIA request, but that can depend on a ton of factors like confidentiality and who created the document trail. Instead, let's look at the problem from a systems context.

Oats can be contaminated with Salmonella (among others, see this survey for other indicators) from multiple sources, whether it be from soil, wastewater runoff, or contact with actual shit from known Salmonella vectors like birds. If these products were contaminated with desiccation resistant serovars, the Salmonella could have survived the cooking process (if applicable to the product) and contaminated production equipment. With inadequate sanitation, the equipment could have contaminated newly produced products, leading to where we are now. Additionally, Salmonella could have entered the production line from a roof leak (birds like to hang out on roofs) or other structural issues in the facility. There are tons of possible scenarios here.

TL;DR: Salmonella sucks. Profit over product safety sucks. Throw out any foods linked to the Quaker recall for your safety.

Well that sucks. I probably should actually check my pantry. But I think we can all agree...

MMMMM YUMMYY

Not too far off from the bank, that patch of random crops has been taking shape. What could be happening here?

I have, in fact, been working on this. The only problem is that I need glass. I need a whole large chest worth of glass blocks.

So I need to smelt sand. In order to smelt sand I need to clear out lava so that digging up the sand at the bottom of the world does not kill me. And smelting cobblestone has been wearing my pick down to a nub and I'm running out of diamond. So I've been scooping lava to roast potatoes. And now I have a lot of roast potatoes. You don't even want to see how many roast potatoes I have. And still not enough sand to make glass.

Anything particularly interesting you want to share can go here! (making this thread because I have something I wanted to share asap lol)

Bug reports go HERE please, I have a small brain and cannot keep track of when they're sent over chat

Troubleshooting

• How to change Java version: Right click on your instance in Prism Launcher, then hit Edit, then go to Settings. Press auto-detect and select 1.8.0.

• Java not detected: Press Browse and navigate to it manually; it should be in a location like C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_381/bin/javaw.exe.

This is a placeholder post for when I get around to making the spreadsheet.

In the meantime you can post your personal houses or interesting locations here. Emphasis on can, if you'd rather your house be a secret that's OK too

As requested, a thread for talking about the lore.

A primer here.

Some loose thoughts I've had shaking around in the ol' noggin:

• Not everyone wants to RP in chat. Not everyone wants to be OOC in chat. It would be nice to have a way to visually differentiate these. I would specifically like to have a separate ingame chat channel for RP, but that seems to be mainly a Spigot plugin thing, and we are not a Spigot server...blaaargghhghg. Until I can make any progress on this I think any serious RP is gonna have to wait because I can't break character every five minutes to do tech support.

• in the meantime I guess you could prefix with "IC:" or something if you need the clarification, I just want to avoid OOC brackets bc I don't want no-live-RP players to feel like they have to bracket everything
  
• Haven't done them in a while, but most of the really RP-y things I've done in the past have been holiday events
  
• Some canon characters that I'm probably gonna have to write about individually: Flavis, The Chicken Man, Squirby, Mayor Dinnerbone, Anvil
  
• The staple canon locations that usually get remade: Rainbow Corner, Sandcastle, Wither Mesa, Gay Commune, The Dig
  
• Nobody on the server knows what the paintings depict. Uh, I guess Feely and Chips probably recognize themselves, but who knows why they're depicted in ancient paintings
  

We need an obligatory injoke food mod, right? It's the fucking EggwareXYZ Minecraft server.

Some ideas I wrote down:

• Blaze Burger (typo of Blaze Burner)
  
• Entirety of Burger Burger menu
  
• Microplastics (joke stolen from feedthememes but it's stuck in my head)
  
• Popeyes Chicken Sandwich ( )
