Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

I-need-help-to-get-off-the-internet brainstorming.

by *TastesLikeAnya, Feb 3, 2013, 3:25:19 AM
Journals / Personal

I've tried for years, but if the internet is accessible, I'm going to be on it. If a program designed to limit internet access has an uninstall button, I will uninstall it. I have tried giving my network card to friends, but that's a huge responsibility to place on someone. I have literally zero willpower.

My internet is one of those fancy usb ones, so I can just take the usb out and put it somewhere. If there was somewhere I could put it where I wouldn't just get it out again. My thoughts so far are some sort of time-accessible-safe or lock, but those are hell expensive and I don't think it's really an option.

You're all a bright bunch. What is something I can do?

I'm going to try using this: HabitRPG [link] (I have the same problem with internet usage) I figure since I like playing games, turning the habit breaking method into a game could work.

There's this program you can install to your computer where you can only open a certain amount of tabs (you can choose the amount of course) a day, it automatically closes your browsers and if you try to open it after the limit has exceeded it won't let you.
Well, I mean, you CAN TRY to open it... But you will get spammed with countless pop-ups telling you how horrible you are, and then when you think you've finally gotten passed it all, it trolls you again LOL

I don't know what it's called, though. I saw it on Tumblr a long time ago UnU;;
YOU CAN LOOK IT UP THOUGH ?? ...if you dare actually want the program LOL

~CaptainBrower Feb 13, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Put it in a safe place that is just an absolute chore to get there or get it out. I'm not talking a minor inconvenience like putting it in a safe or locking it up in a lockbox, I'm talkin give it to a family member you'd really hate to ask for anything, put it inside a box taped inside a box inside a box inside a bag inside a box on the top shelf of your shed/garage/catch-all room. Do something with it that you are just going to sit there and say its not worth the trouble of digging it out. Until it is worth the trouble

~fuzzypaw01 Feb 4, 2013

try electric shock therapy.

~Witbik Feb 4, 2013

Destroy it.

There are settings in routers that will shut down internet access during certain hours. They are, naturally, removeable, but it's something. You can also try something like camping. Plan a trip somewhere outside of civilization wherever practical for a week. Do this regularly if financially possible and you can ween yourself off internet. Other than these options, yea you're looking at something like a timelock safe. Those are off the top of my head, I'm sure I can come up with other ideas given some serious time thinking about it. And I've got friends who are stunningly creative that I can pick the brains of too.

I haven't looked through all of the comments, but if you want to FORCE yourself, this program is a godsend:

It's the mac version, but I'm sure there's others. You can have either a blacklist of sites to stay away from, or a whitelist of the only sites you can visit. Once you start the clock, NOTHING will let you back on those sites until the timer runs out. I use it for schoolwork all the time.

Downgrade to a computer that can't upload Internet pages quickly and uninstall Adobe flash player.
I'm dealing with a terrible computer right now and, trust me, after trying to connect to the Internet and the average wait time for a page to load is three minutes you will simply not want to be on the Internet.

Also, leaving your house when you feel the urge to get on also helps!

Good luck!

~azzacanth Feb 4, 2013 Hobbyist

could put the internet stick in a lock box and freeze the key in an ice cube.
that way you have to think ahead and decide to get online.

Funny how Confessions of a Shop-a-holic did this scenario and the main character STILL managed to get her credit card after using every single method.
