![]() No, I’m not joking, he doesnt just look like him, I swear to God neil gaiman lives across the hall. ![]() ![]() A lot of us made friends with those crabs.” “Yeah, we’re hoping they bring the crabs back next year. “Oh, no no, it was an intentional infestation.” “The crab infestation?! Wow, glad they got that under control before I moved in.” “what are these strange markings in the paint?” Other Old Resident: just don’t make eye contact and you should be fine. We’ve left messages with maintenance ‘bout ‘im but. Old Resident: yeah we have no idea where that guy came from. New Person: I just saw this weird guy in the lobby in a really creepy anthropomorphic Pikachu costume? “i mean, his cousin streaks through the commons sometimes and knocks on all the doors” “the perpetually naked guy got evicted though” “are you for real right now? i just redirected my mail, i didnt know”Īnd the new tennant is like “why did you guys even live here if it was so bad” they gave us individual mailboxes too finally, you don’t have to dig through the communal bin anymore” “you mean i could’ve been drinking the tap water all this time?” You just get used to the landlord not fixing things, and then someone new moves in and you’re helpfully like “oh yeah don’t drink the tap water, it’s got stuff in it that makes you sick” and then your neighbor you’ve had forever goes “oh they took the stuff out actually” and you’re like “what? when was this?” Using tumblr is like living in a low class apartment building. Let’s get somewhere in the middle with “if you wouldn’t walk up to a stranger at the grocery store and tell them this, don’t share it with the entire internet either” When I was a kid it was “everyone on the internet is an axe murderer” which was not helpful but “everyone on the internet can be trusted with your full name, city, workplace, health conditions, traumas, and any triggers you may have” is also not helpful ![]() It’s basic stuff i’m not trying to scare people but you need! to practice healthy skepticism online!! Like this isn’t about “no one on the internet is your friend” it’s about “everyone on the internet can be entirely anonymous and disappear at a moment’s notice and you need to be aware of that and be sure of people’s intentions” it’s about “that person might be really nice and giving or they might be scamming you and you need to be able to tell the difference” it’s about “you need to be sure that the link you’re clicking on is going to take you to the right place” Really genuinely feel like we need to bring back internet safety classes. ![]()
