What do you call it when buying a new peripheral means you’re up super late because of the quality of life bump that came with it?

It’s ok. Some people are very much in favor of what Tumblr is doing. For them, I’m sure it’s a great example of big corporations doing what they want without regulation, and validates their ideas about “money = power” and “everything for the investors” and stuff like that.
Personally, I’m against what Tumblr is doing, but I don’t believe private corporations should be allowed to do whatever they want, and I think the Internet and it’s more monopolistic corporations that make up backbone or major service components within it should be treated like a public utility.
Also Tumblr isn’t even following their own service model, and are completely abandoning their responsibility to a large portion of their user base, which really pisses me off. As a former product manager, I want to go in there and rub their executives faces in their SLAs. I’m sure they think they have a good reason for what they’re doing, but it’s got to be the most ridiculously heavy handed and duct-taped together set of “we’ll fix it in post, trust us” BS any company has pulled, short of simply closing the doors. It’s like every other possible solution might carry some risk or cost, so they just flushed the baby, the bath water, set the bathroom on fire, and then carpet bombed the house and dropped a nuke on it from low orbit “just to be safe”, all the while telling everyone involved that if it results in any inconvenience for anyone you can appeal your car getting caught in the resulting inferno, even though every person in a 100 mile radius will be doing the same thing and Tumblr has already shown they’re trying to get through this without having to hire staff to help manage and support their customer base.
“But at least I’m not bitter”
But that’s just my opinion, and I accept that for some people having things like the Internet or it’s service providers be treated like public utilities, or having regulatory bodies providing some checks and balances to what companies do to consumers is “communism”.
I mean, some people hated Net Neutrality. For them, this is probably the same kind of thing.
Me? I’d rather have more regulations, and a lot fewer big companies like Verizon and News Corp and … in this case, Tumblr, doing whatever they want without consequences.

There is a few issues with that.
01 I will break my special one’s heart. And I certainly don’t want that.
02 They don’t exist.

If it’s a real one you’re talking about, no. too much risk of diseases, and i don’t think he’ll fit.

Nah, I prefer humans. Both real ones and Equestria Girls.
Ponies also don’t have boobs, which is clearly a must-have for sex. At least for me.
