Sorry I haven’t been posting guys, got a lot on my plate. Also! Reminder that while TPG will continue to update on Tumblr for the time being, people leaving can find me also on Twitter, Tapastic, Webtoons, Instagram and Facebook! Click the links!
To paraphrase what I wrote last week, I hope readers see how absurd it is to assert that the rich countries could plausibly expect to zero out CO2 by 2050 using technologies that do not exist today. The reality of the climate challenge is that only technologies that can be deployed at trillion-dollar scale in the next three decades can contribute to such a goal. But the technology development and deployment cycle is simply far too long for a technology that doesn’t exist today to plausibly make a vital contribution to cutting CO2 by mid-century.
Indeed, Climate Interactive has put together a (very optimistic) scenario for new technology that makes this point. If we had breakthrough technology miraculously pop out of the R&D pipeline really fast (by 2020) and then miraculously enter the market at half the price of new coal plants and then miraculously achieve mass penetration decades faster than every other major energy source in history — it still has essentially no impact on emissions reduction by 2050.
Developing new energy technology is basically a waste of time, since it will have no impact before 2050. We need to focus entirely on deployment of existing technologies. Nuclear seems like the obvious transitionary solution.
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
I like her better than I like Deku’s mom at least.
How does one manage to magically lose a foot and a half in height in a span of ten years?
She’s significantly shorter, but probably weighs more than she did when she was taller. How embarrassing.
Woman looks like a cheese wheel…
How dare
This is the definition of rude.
Fuck you OP. You dare insult mom?!
You’re right guys. I’m sorry.
She’s sweet, soft, and creamy with a nutty aftertaste. Great with crackers.
Shame she smells like feet tho…
S T O P
Her legs are too squat and frumpy for her to move very fast.
Fortunately, she has adapted and uses other means of travel to get around.
DUDE TF IS YOUR PROBLEM!¡ she got older and a bit shorter and izuku got a lot taller since, you know, PUBERTY EXISTS so she seems a lot shorter? And maybe she’s a stress eater and is sad because her ONE AND ONLY SON AND THE PERSON SHE WOULD GIVE HER LIFE TO PROTECT got his dreams shattered! Think before you speak! Even if it was just a stylistic choice and everything i said is bullshit, you shouldn’t just dislike and shame a character cause she’s fat! I know she’s fictional but if you said that to a real person how would they feel?
Despite her impressive physical prowess, cheese mom is not without her weaknesses.
Yeah. But I’m sure most people know I’m just messing about.
We all love Deku mom. Some of us may not love her as much as others, but we love her nonetheless.
And in her defense, she did have a rough childhood…
Sometimes I forget about all the stupid shit I’ve done on this site.
