or just likes reminding people in an effective way how strange it is that the “default” pronoun is “he”
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 5 days ago:
in the past i thought eating spicy food made me look cool and manly, but then i realised i’m missing out on the flavour of foods and understood i was being silly. so now i mostly stick to mild foods, with the occasional spicy food for varity’s sake but only if i can actually taste the flavour of said food through the spice
but that’s just me
- Comment on Did you ever use your Toe to turn one of these on or off? 1 week ago:
i used to but then i was told that it’s unhealthy for the system so i shut off from the OS side now
- Comment on change_org 1 week ago:
i think there are at least two things at play here
-
can i do something about this?
-
does it affect me?
if the answer is “no” to both then focusing on that just brings misery about some bad thing happening somewhere, not the best idea mental health wise. if the answer is “yes” to both then you’ll see plenty of action.
if we have yes for change, but no for being affected then it’s up for the good heart (and time and money) of any individual to make a choice to help. and if we have no can’t change, but yes it affects me, then we have depression.
NSFW bans affect everyone using the internet, and they’re created purely on moral grounds, so your voice is just as loud as every other voice. if enough people complain, maybe it won’t change anyone’s opinion, but the likelihood that those in charge just give in goes up, it boils down to which side complains louder pretty much
wars, misery, mistreatment, hate, bigotry, clearly have gone well past the “let’s sit down and talk about if this is the best way forward for us, and if you disagree with the majority opinion we will be very annoying”, there’s just– not much even combined voices of millions can do here, as evident by the world around us
so in my conclusion - people are more likely to fight when they have some reasonable chance to win said fight. we have in the past successfully made companies undo things we didn’t like, we complained, and we got what we wanted. but how many wars have we stopped this way?

- Comment on YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 1 week ago:
it’s mostly “curated” to long form video essays about random bullshit, but i see your point
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 1 week ago:
i feel like the feeling of them coming “out of nowhere” and “disappearing” is created by how little cultural impact those movies managed to create. like give me a single quote, anything memorable from the story itself. we all remember it is a beautiful film to watch, but the plot might as well be a theme park ride around an alien world
nobody talks about it, there is nothing to talk about
- Comment on YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 1 week ago:
youtube? the place with free quality documentaries, free knowledge in the easiest to digest video form about a huge variety of topics? the spot where you can learn life skills, cooking, hobbies, maths, physics, programming, among many others, with visualised tutorials showing every part of every step with explenations?
what on earth is happening to the internet these days? absolute insanity
social media is shit and i get restricting twitter or tiktok, but youtube? it seems so bizarre to me

they all reacted well, even the most hipster one. they must’ve matured a lot since uni days :)
- Comment on mensa 2 weeks ago:
dang, i wish they did that for my adhd diagnosis, because i kept looking normal on my tests and had to go on a manhunt to find a doctor who has adhd as well, so they could just vibe check me (and i did, but before that i spent a lot of money on futile tests)
- Comment on mensa 2 weeks ago:
there’s a yearly membership fee
- Comment on mensa 2 weeks ago:
as someone who qualifies for mensa but like, i ain’t paying a subscription fee to be in the smart people club, that sounds really dumb (and also IQ testing is sketchy at best to begin with)
yes, i always appreciate a big booty, on any ethnicity or gender, so latinas are indeed included

thanks, i’m going to send this to all my friends from filmmaking uni and see how many of them get mad at me

- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 2 weeks ago:
ahh fair alright, Sky News released a short article at 8:05pm
when looking for it it was difficult to dig through a billion copy pasted sources, half of which were paywalled or "tUrN oFf yOuR aDbLocK"walled :')
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 2 weeks ago:
what is still strange to me is that the BBC article was one of those coverages they do - where they update the page as new information flows in (or they just decide to say something more). and the first part of that at 8:11pm is just a short paragraph
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 2 weeks ago:
Ozzy Osbourne’s death was first announced to UK media, first article i could find came from the BBC and released 8:11pm
how is it that a Wikipedia editor outsprinted the first article and made the first death edit at 8:08pm?

buy a horse dildo with bitcoin and flaunt how they didn’t get any money from your transaction? idk man, i’m good at vague ideas, specifics are harder
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 weeks ago:
i don’t know if any source has caught up yet, but a few days ago it was indeed just taboo kink games that were being targeted, now it seems all of itch.ios NSFW games are disappearing

to quote my favourite game
The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all.
i could try to make peace with that

boyfriend it is then, money is just nifty it won’t fill the void

boyfriend (human, my age, regular lifespan, attracted to me, and i’m attracted to him), and a billion dollars (in US currency, no strings attached, not any blood money)

gamers, unironically, rise up. this isn’t going to end on niche porn games
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 weeks ago:
this bullshit is surely coming from the recently intensifying family friendlinessification of the internet, but why the fuck do payment processors care? i have no idea. are they taking a cut of advertising revenue? do all ceos just want to appear as massive prudes? do they see children as an untapped market to exploit? or maybe they’re just fucking stupid? what is actually going on
