Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Have you ever printed something via wifi and it works and you're like "ok, cool, I've set it up and it works" and then you don't change anything at all and you go to print and your computer is like "no sweat, we're definitely connected to the printer" and nothing prints, so you send more inputs and still nothing, so you take a break and then go to investigate and the printer is printing out 30 copies and you desperately try to cancel them but the printer keeps going like its on a mission from God?
That, but its a 6 ton trailer that's phantom driving 60 miles an hour.
"Trailer. Unpaired."
"NOOOO"
Your music slightly quiets, you think you just heard the windows Bluetooth disconnect sound... but the music goes back to original volume and everyone looks at each other like "did I just hear something? Nah, musta be crazy" and you go back to driving while your trailer quietly passes you by in the right lane.
I've actually seen that sort of happen with a conventional trailer, as someone hit a bad railroad crossing and seemingly didn't have the trailer chains that you should have for such things. Watched both the truck and trailer go past while I was at the light, and thought, "huh, don't see that often."
Answer: Linux. My Windows machines jist fucking hate printers, I often have to delete and reinstall jist to get them to work. My Bazzite machine; "Sure, coming right up. Btw, you haven't restarted your machine in 70 days, you really need to install updates."
