Hey, heads up to Cosplay peeps: If you need a wig, now is a good time to snag one from Arda Wigs. There’s a list of wigs that have been discontinued for sale at a reduced price. Arda is a really nice quality wig provider, and the price looks to be $15 (for a short wig) to around $20 (for the longest discontinued wigs they have, at 38 inches)
I just grabbed a Cobalt Blue Jasmine wig for my Primal Kyogre cosplay for 20 bucks. Selection is kind of sparse, but the wig I found ended up being perfect for what I needed, and I’m sure some folks out there could really strike it lucky!
Ok so am trying to save up money for this thing cause am planning to became a animator and game designer and I discover something from one of the YouTube channels I follow called “Draw with Jazza” (if you haven’t checked out his art channel please go check it out! He’s a very talented artist and a new father so support his work!) anyways to the point I discovered something new about this companion art tablet on his channel, it’s a…wait for it…also a fucking laptop where you can play games on so am at the moment like mind blown and stuff about this amazing tool that I am even more excited to get! So now on tumblr i will soon start commissions here for traditional art (hopefully if everything runs smoothy in my plan I will start selling my work here :3)
eyyyy folks so apologies if this is already common knowledge or anything but my sister sent me a link to this site that imo is both super stimmy and gr9 for helping out when you’re anxious? it’s a site that lets you tap your keyboard along to play out a song and there’s no rules or anything and it doesn’t evaluate you on how you play it you just play it however you want and it is v nice plus it has some of my favorite calming songs and it has nice little lights that burst into smaller lights when you play a note and it’s lovely so ye check it out if u want
“there’s a lot going on on the Gem Homeworld that he doesn’t know about at all, and a lot of rules that exist there that the Gems we know don’t follow!”
“Steven’s going to learn a lot more soon on the show, about what each of the Crystal Gems are supposed to be… it’s very different than the way they’ve been living on Earth.“
“It is very unusual for Gems like Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl to be living and working together the way they do, almost as unusual as it is for Steven to exist!”
“Actually… the Gem he knows the least about at this point is Pearl.”
Pros
– Lots of free food, parties and alcohol. If you’re a “bro” then you’ll have a great time.
Cons
– Tumblr is run on a tangled mess of homegrown tools, horrendously fragile code and the worst engineering practices I’ve ever seen from any company. There is no QA, code reviews aren’t taken seriously, anyone can commit to master and push their code to production at any time. The entire development process can best be described as institutionalized cowboy coding.
– Brogramming is real and Tumblr exemplifies it. It was the norm for bros to knowingly push buggy, incomplete, untested code into production after a few rounds of drinks then leave the problems for others while they moved onto another project.
– Engineering management is filled with dead weight who have been loyal and stuck around long enough. They aren’t qualified to lead teams, they have horrendous technical knowledge and do absolutely nothing to help grow the careers of their subordinates.
– Every position from VPs down to engineers are a revolving door, every week at least one person quits and the one thing that the people who quit have in common is that they were very good at their jobs. I can safely say that if you see someone has been at Tumblr more than six months they are looking for a new job; if they are there for two years or more they are probably incompetent. Absolutely no one who has options stays at Tumblr.
– New employees, no matter how experienced, are treated like they are complete idiots. Recently, I watched someone who had more experience than everyone on his team quit out of frustration. His manager told other people that he was useless and contributed nothing. What the manager didn’t realize was the same person he called useless had accepted a more senior role at Google.
my mom has been a coder from way back, like she helped write the first ATM networks and stuff, and she worked with a guy who liked to dump his buggy ass code into the production machine and then leave for the weekend or a vacation or whatever
the systems administrator had a process that would remove any changes he’d made
dude never did run anything on the test box without being told to and never got fired for it
– There’s a complete lack of engineering best practices, their codebase is so fragmented, fragile, tangled and highly unreadable. Minor changes to the code cannot be made without risking the entire site going down. They don’t use continuous integration to test against anything and do not have the technical capital to even being writing tests. It’s shocking beyond belief… – You get a really strange vibe from everyone in the office, people talk badly about others behind their backs and sometimes within earshot. Lots of inter-office romantic relationships. – It’s a rotating door, nobody really stays for more than 1-2 years, many people including directors have left the company even before their stock reached it’s 1 year vesting cliff. This kills morale when nobody likes the company enough to stay. – Morale is terrible after the acquisition, people talk poorly about yahoo and make fun of how old and outdated yahoo is as a company yet tumblr itself is old and outdated. The traffic to the website has plummeted on a monthly basis. – A very small percent of the early employees have stayed and those who have keep talking down upon the newer employees – They’ve built tons of custom, in house services which constantly break because they were so poorly written which makes being on call an absolute nightmare. – Top it off with a few rats run around in the Manhattan HQ
This sounds like such a horror story, somebody write the gothic-meme version of this office please
Cleaning out my drafts, I’ve been using it as a dump for things I want to keep on hand for reference or to read/watch later (especially for things I cant read at work). If you don’t want to see the dash spam block the tag #read/reference later
I’m going to try to keep only things I need to respond to, such as RP’s, in my drafts from now on.
