firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!

for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes

> open settings

> search "hardware acceleration" and there should only be one result

> uncheck use recommended performance settings

> uncheck use hardware acceleration

done!

Since I'm looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It's not DRM, and it's not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both "memory" and "placing a limit").

This is what hardware acceleration is:

"Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?"

Yes. For this precise reason.

IT'S THAT SCENE, THAT DAMN SCENE

WHEN HE OPENED HIS EYES JUST TO SEE HER FOR THE LAST TIME-

IT'S DESTROYING ME

I'M SCREAMING, I CANNOT DO THIS AGAIN

I'm actually really happy they extended Armin and Eren's final conversation in the anime and think it flows infinitely better than it did in the manga, but I also liked how it highlighted a very important aspect of Eren's character that alot of people in the fandom forget.

Above all else, Eren is a slave to his own childish nature and selfishness that stems from his need to be free. Regardless of how much freedom he will take away from others.

As much as he want's to believe that he committed such atrocities for the sake of his loved ones, it doesn't change the fact that he still put them all in danger, and people he cared about still died in the process. In the end everything that happened was because he was a slave to his own nature. His own selfishness to be "free" no matter who he had to hurt.

And that's the tragedy of his character, the moment he realizes this, it absolutely destroys him.

I also love how Armin's way of comforting Eren is way better than in the manga. He doesn't try to make him feel better over his actions or make him find some comfort from the results of those action, but instead he tells him that even if he'll find eternal damnation after he dies, he won't be alone. Armin will share that burden with him and follow him into hell after he is gone. His own sins are intertwined with his best friends, and he'll make sure that even in hell they will always be connected.

It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...

There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao

Not to mention the way the money was made

An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers

people really need to remember this image

Snippet Sunday

“You’re here early.“

He startles at the gruff voice behind him.

“Been here early a lot recently. Better watch it or Thom will think you’re gunning for his C,” Haymitch says before taking a pull from his flask.

Peeta chuckles, “His letter’s safe from me.” It’s nothing short of a miracle that he can skate let alone play - He’d assumed he never would again after he lost his leg, but ‘Mellark’s play hockey’, or at least that’s the universal truth he’d grown up with. So he’d relearned to skate almost as soon as he’d mastered walking. He no longer had NHL aspirations, though his mother hadn’t quite given up that dream for him. “Would you believe me if I said I like it here?” He bends down to adjusts his laces, sneaking a look at the older man.

Haymitch grunts, “I’d be more apt to believe you if you said you liked the view,” he tilts his head towards the ice where three pairs of skaters are scattered across the rink for private lessons. He not wrong. Ever since the first day he saw her, Peeta’s been a goner for the scowling woman on the ice

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.

This reddit user took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.

Here's the direct link to the Google doc with all the info!

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”

Fun little psychology test

My table was empty, wtf 🙃

My HG fancast is based solely on how I imagine the characters, not with acting in mind, as some are models (the the actors I chose can act)

I love this reading -

Tumblr Code.

This is an absolute tumblr relic. I feel like an archaeologist right now. This is incredible that this is on my dash.

date of origin: 2nd of july, 2012.

Bro what it’s the second of July 2020. Happy 8th anniversary of this classic tumblr post!!!!

Readers be like, Peeta is too good, too perfect when you read the books, it’s annoying!

But, guys, he is not! Not at all! It’s just we read what Katniss thinks and she is head over heels in love with him. He saved her life when she was 11, she always saw him like he was perfect, because he was perfect for her! She describes him like he is the most righteous man in the galaxy, because he is for her, we read her story.

But if you look at Peeta, at everything he was doing, he is one manipulative son of a bitch.

He manipulated the crowd into seeing Katniss as someone desirable, he lied a lot to get sponsors for her. He knew she had something going on with Gale (although she didn’t have anything yet, but he thought she did) and still flirted his way into her heart.

One thing certain, he did love Katniss unconditionally. He would do anything for her. And that’s why she only see how perfect her boy with a bread is, because he is perfect for her.

And come on, we all would sell our souls to have a partner as devoted as Peeta.

PS who created this art? Please tag this person! It’s amazing 😻 found somewhere on the internet and loved it !

@little-lynx art. Someone cropped it to remove the signature.

It astounds me how much everyone working on the THG movies was biased toward Gale 💀

I was answering someone's question about how they cut off a lot of stuff from Mockingjay book and this is what I could think of:

They did cut out a lot considering one book was split into 2 movies. They erased Delly and the whole Hijacked!Peeta being rude to people storyline. They erased Johanna struggling with her fear for water because she was tortured using it when she was captured. She was supposed to train with Katniss and go to the Capitol, but she couldn't pass the test because of this and that pissed her off. They also erased Peeta's progress in 13 when he had some clarity and made a beautiful cake for Finnick and Annie's wedding. They also cut off some of Finnick's lines and gave some to other characters.

All in all, everyone lost screentime except for maybe Gale. I just don't buy it that they don't have enough time because there are TWO movies.

The only Gale scene I remember that got cut was the one he argued with Katniss because he blamed Katniss for viewing her prep team as HUMAN. That was one of the most disgusting things he did and it's the only one they cut.

They also cut the smaller part where he STOPPED Katniss from trying to save Finnick and LIED to her. Finnick could have a fighting chance if not for him.

Same with the whipping scene in Catching Fire where they changed the reason from him poaching to him defending an old guy. Like how biased can they be??? Gale is a shit guy and they tried so much to paint him in a better light.
