Why is it lately everywhere I look everyone has stopped linking directly to files and started linking to the sluggish adridden image host page instead? Is there a thing I don't know?

If you're talking about imgur links, then it's because imgur recently made their default "copy link" thing the actual album page rather than the image itself. Go ahead and upload something to it and you'll see what I mean. They used to have a list of links to use to share the image on the right side of the page when you uploaded (direct link, html embed, bbcode embed, etc.), but now it's just the album link. I guess a lot of people don't realize that, or are just too lazy to right-click the image to get the direct link.

too lazy to right-click the image to get the direct link.

THERE'S ANOTHER WAY?!!

Photobucket has a list like that, but I haven't quite got the hang of it. Sometimes it will post the image, but that image will be a link to the album, so I have to go back and fix it. I never remember which one to use, because the descriptions of what each one of the links are isn't quite that intuitive.

Oh ok. I always just drag the image to a new tag and copy the URL from there.

Didn't sleep (Yes.... AGAIN) and I was going to both visit my counselor and my... Doctor? Pediatrician? (I don't know terms ). But my grandma didn't 'sleep' either (like what I have been doing is). So I'm not going. I think.

Anyway up at like 7:30 in the meningitis (morning. I won't correct autocucumber this time because the replacement is stupid) and of to Einstien Bros. Bagels. The Bacon Cheese Gourmet is awesome, and my Pretzel w/ peanut butter was good too. Diet Coke as well. Messed up the order a few times but still got what I wanted.

Does this make me a normal human if I'm walking 50 minutes for bagels, mess up my order but correct it, and then go home to try and stay awake?

My mom just randomly called me "just to see if I'm doing okay". we talked for like, 60 seconds.

I'm betting she had a bad dream, she's superstitious like that

Highlights from last night's portion of the CruiserWeight Classic.

edit: a crap, I forgot the Super Spanish Fly.

We had hail a few nights ago. Golfball size, apparently.
Cracked windshield and bunches of dents.

The damage cost will determine my birthday and Christmas. I am worried that I won't be able to get Sun & Moon, much less a New Nintendo 3DS XL.

Edit: Did I seriously write goofball instead of golfball? Must be auto cucumber again...

Anyone here know how to get the URL of gifs on Twitter? Right-clicking doesn't work, I dunno wtf they did to their HTML.

Oddly enough I can still get the URL of still images.

[Ersatz]

Try the Resources view of the Web Inspector of your browser (Right-click -> Inspect element).

If you give me the link to the tweet I could give it a shot.

Granted I could probably google most gifs, but I've wanted to copy/paste them from Twitter before so it'd be nice if I knew how to do it.

[Ersatz]

It's not actually a gif.

I got it by right-clicking on the video and inspecting it and unfolding the div class="player-wrapper first-play-reported" just above it.

[SaintCrazy]

That might explain why I had issues.

Still, it's good to know where I should look, so thanks!
