I know the jpop fanbase is small on here but the silence on the assault on a Japanese idol by 2 men is so worrying. Hating idol culture doesn’t mean you should ignore serious issues like this. If we don’t get this more attention Japanese media will literally ignore it because the group’s management is already making this girl apologize for HERSELF being assaulted in front of the men who assaulted HER. It’s disgusting and it shouldn’t go unnoticed.
For the record, the guy actually invented this with the intent of it being used to crack down on human trafficking. Traffickers often cover their victims in heavy/unusual makeup before posting pics of them online, to make them harder to detect using normal software.
oh
So basically this is a case of really shitty reporting. The article could have been about an app used to rescue victims of trafficking but they decided to flippantly make it about make-up
my family used to have this sort of abstract watercolour painting up in our dining room, it was there as early as i can remember, and i always hated it. one day when i was like ten my mom came up to me, and i guess handed me something but i dont remember what, and she was like “can you put this on the shelf, by the bird painting?”
and i was like “..the what?”
and she was like “the painting of the bird on the branch. can you put it there” and she pointed to the abstract painting
and i was like “how is that a bird”
and she said “well what do you think it is?”
and was like “it’s a beached whale with a giant eye, blowing blood out of its blow hole onto the legs of a guy who’s running away”
..and i guess my mom thought that was like funny or weird or something so she told my dad about it, and he immediately said “oh, you mean the reindeer painting?”
It took me less than 5 minutes to sign up here! Nielsen is completely legit. They already pay people to watch TV, now they’re gonna pay me to watch vine compilations… I’m truly living in 3018 y’all
@ all my followers who want easy money
Nielsen is amazing and I completely vouch for them. Pro-tip: to make the most money, you guys should join the panel on your computer AND your phone because they pay for each device that you connect. You can expect to earn about $50 from a single device. Nielsen also gives away $10,000 EACH MONTH. All you have to do is keep the app on your computer and you’ll be entered into their monthly sweepstakes. The top prize earners take home $1,000 each, and 400 people win cash prizes.
To everyone worried about what data they collect, this is from their website:
TL;DR they only want to know what websites you visit, and how much time you spend on these sites. They NEVER collect sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, login information, bank, or credit card information. So if you could use some extra cash, you honestly have nothing to lose. Google already collects (and sells) your data, the difference is that Nielsen wants to pay you.
They’ve been a trusted name since the 1920s, first measuring what radio stations peopled tuned into, next getting into television ratings, and now they want to measure the popularity of websites and online videos. So yes, you can quite literally get paid to watch youtube videos. What a time to be alive indeed.
