Cat blog recs!

Hi! My name is Noelle, but I go by Sanguinary as well, depending on where you find and talk to me. I’m 23, use she/they/moons pronouns and am a transbian. My partner in crime!

I block freely and like a wild beast, if you get blocked I thought you were either a bot, a weirdo or your icon/url made me get red flags from you.

Mutuals pweeease look at my blacklist before chatting w/ me. I handle tags pretty well on my own, so you don’t need to worry about tagging things extra for me.

Other stuff I have under the readmore!

So I think the best strat here is for the users who did get the new layout to just stop using the desktop version of the site for a while, like a week or a month or however long their ‘experiment’ is supposed to last, while the users who didn’t get the new layout should keep using the desktop version like normal or, perhaps, use it even more than usual.

My guess is that they’re doing basic A/B testing on the new layout to see if it would boost engagement: the userbase is split roughly 50/50 between the 2 versions and they are going to be comparing the engagement data between the 2 groups of users to see if it’s worth it switching everyone to the new layout or not.

Basically, if you got the new layout and don’t like it - don’t use it. If engagement metrics of group B (new layout) are lower than those of group A (no change), the experiment will be considered a failure and they will have to reverse the change.

If your tumblr suddenly looks like twitter - it’s a sign to log off and go touch some grass! (or just use the mobile app since that engagement data isn’t relevant to this particular experiment)

In a statement to The Post, a spokesperson for NBCUniversal claimed the tree work is simply an annual ritual at this time of year. “We understand that the safety tree trimming of the Ficus trees we did on Barham Blvd. has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention. In partnership with licensed arborists, we have pruned these trees annually at this time of year to ensure that the canopies are light ahead of the high wind season,” they wrote. “We support the WGA and SAG’s right to demonstrate and are working to provide some shade coverage. We continue to openly communicate with the labor leaders on-site to work together during this time.”

If those trees were pollarded annually, the cut areas would NOT look like that. There would be big knobs of old growth at the trimming sites. Not seeing any of that here. The way those trees were topped (not pollarded, which is a very careful process that has to begin when the tree is immature) is excellent way to kill them due to loss of hydration, open sites to infection and parasitism during the best time of year for both, lack of nutrition due to so little greenery and new budding growth being left, sunburn and other exposure damage, and a myriad of other possibilities. Plus, if they were topped annually, they would not have the lovely drooping branches seen in the other picture but would have tons of vertical suckers instead.

This is what an annually pollarded mature tree should look like:

If this was done by the city, the public works arborists should be protesting in front of city hall and screaming their heads off right now. I’m not hearing about that, so… Tree law!

Update and confirmation of Imminent Tree Law:

He mentions later in the thread that not only do they not trim the trees annually, they’re trimmed at best once every 18 years. Supposed to be every five, and only in dormancy, which even my layman’s ass knows about tree trimming.

And yes, Universal can probably eat the fine. But it’s gonna be a whopper even if the trees survive (which is as mentioned kinda unlikely), California is a triple damage state for tree law, and it may increase dramatically if there were nesting birds in the trees.

All this to be a Captain Planet filler villain to some writers. And yes, it’s currently just the writers officially picketing there; SAG-AFTRA recommended against it for petty bullshit like this and the suddenly necessary sidewalk construction.

I asked my dad— a retired arborist—about TREE LAW and he just kinda blinked and said (i paraphrase because Dad Tangents, amirite?):

“Worst and best case I ever saw was a guy who was caught in the act of cutting down a C&C tree by two Department of Urban Forestry supervisors while they were randomly driving around on a Saturday. Not only did he have to deal with the cops showing up and months of paperwork and bureaucracy, but he also had to pay the fines AND cover the cost of the tree removal + stumping + buying a new tree + planting the new tree + wages for the regular crew plus the extra workers they needed to get the jobs done. That tree ended up costing him upwards of $35K, and that was over 20 years ago.”

So yeah, respect Tree Law or pay out the bootyhole.

people saying FR staff have terrible communication is kind of starting to piss me off 😭 we were told ON SITE that sandsurges would be gem breeds. if you didn’t read that, that’s on you, not with devs failing to communicate the way this breed release would pan out. they quite literally posted an essay the other day just to reflect on what the refactor meant for them and the site. it’s like the people saying FR staff are ableist for expecting people to read their news posts have never played an actually bad petsite with in their lives

the communication on this site is great and has been getting steadily better for the past few years. I think some of you need to experience the joys (?) of playing petsites where none of the staff have logged on for 6 years or where the admins actively cuss out and publicly embarrass people they don’t like in the forums. there are actual games where it IS a corporate entity pumping out content just for money instead of a team of a handful of people running a petsite for a decade

agreed, I’ve never seen anyone quite like the fr staff, who goes out of their way to give notices to players, address our concerns, prioritize accessibility et cetera. The thing is, FR could be a game where premium currency is difficult to get, where you have to pay real money to access exclusive content or obtain a particular item, where the staff’s main goal for every new release is geared towards getting money from players. 

But FR is not, and the staff continues to give us free quality content at the expense of their time, energy, and resources. you want gems? achievement system, keeping your well fed bonus, selling items on the AH, exalting - there are so many ways to get premium currency. the idea that people consider the new breed “locked behind a paywall” just communicates to me that they’ve never actually encountered a real paywall >.>
