Furthermore, 45% of these teens are almost constantly online. While social media can be a great tool for connecting with friends, staying informed, and expressing yourself, it can also present challenges and risks.

From Likes to Legalities: Being a Responsible Social Media User in the Digital Age #blogchatterhalfmarathon

In a world where digital platforms thrive, social media has become an integral part of our lives. From connecting with friends and family to promoting businesses and sharing our stories, it has transformed the way we communicate. But amid the allure of likes and shares, it’s crucial to be a responsible social media user, considering the multifaceted aspects, angles, and perspectives…

I resent the narrative of "it is unfair when bad things are done or said to Jews living outside of Israel, because they didn't even do anything" because it has an implication of "as opposed to Jews inside of Israel, who are inherently guilty and deserve it."

If you are saying the same things about us as antisemites trying to cover their own asses ("nooo I love Jews. Good Jews.") then you may want to reevaluate how you speak about us.

i know this isnt what i usually post, "shut up fat kink blog" i dont fucking care sit the hell down and listen.

You're aware of the Huion New Year AIGI Tweet, right?

LEST WE FORGET, back in november last year:

If you want to buy a Wacom, Huion or Gaumon device, I'd recommend either looking into an alternative or buying secondhand/refurbished from 3rd party sellers on Ebay or something. Avoid Amazon for all the obvious reasons.

This is fucking disgusting. This is embarrassing. This is unacceptable.

most importantly,

They won't stop.

I think a massive facet of Tim's secret identity should be that everyone in Gotham knows that if Tim had Bat Skills, he would simply be a benevolent supervillain instead. A feral little gremlin who would take out the kneecaps of every boomer trying to embezzle charity funds. Like, this is the bitch that's constantly ready to fight God in a Denny's parking lot. He would be out there committing murder every time someone tried to rezone Gotham's voting districts again; he'd just show up in their dark living room with anime eyeshine like, "oh? And you thought you could get away with this? 🔪"

Australia is planning on banning under 16s from using social media.

So so many reasons this is a stupid idea but the main one is actually, counter-intuitively, ppl's online safety.

Grown ups know how to cross the road safely because they are taught as children. They get to practice with parental supervision when they're kids.

You keep kids off social media then give them unlimited access at 16 and they'll have no frame of reference, no supervision, no working knowledge of how to fact check etc. If you actually want ppl to be safe online, make it part of education.

When discussing Animal Farm in English, talk about how to analyse ideas that sound good but actually result in inequality in practice and then pull up some questionable tweets.

When teaching kids how to research for their next essay, give them a fb rant and show them how to verify the info.

And then whoever is teaching them about personal responsibility should introduce them to tag blocking on tumblr. Show them how to curate their own experience.

Chat gtp should be its own module titled "ai can and will lie to you please for the love of god learn to think for yourself"

This is a personal vent post about politics

It's just so normal and yet never stops being jarring, how whenever politics come up any delusion of civility so often just gets ripped away. You meet people in your daily life, you know, you meet strangers and friends, you chat, you share hobbies, you help each other out, people like animals and will frequently stop to help a stranger… Most of the time people generally seem funny, or nice, or whatever.

And then maybe an honest conversation about politics is had, or you look at the numbers of a local election, or someone posts something online, and these people are suddenly cheerfully telling you they want you dead, or want some other people dead, or are openly planning to throw us under a bus, or are just painfully stupid, or

It's the banality of evil, but this isn't even the banality of the hand making a fist, it's the banality of people deciding who's their collateral damage of the hour with less consideration than they would take choosing what to watch on netflix.

It's okay to be boring actually. You aren't a court jester and your existence doesn't need to be spent entertaining people. Enjoy your own life.

I know this is a bit unhinged, but I keep looking at Michael Sheen’s Twitter and feeling like Crowley watching Aziraphale getting into that damn elevator.

Like, when are you coming back? Are you coming back? What are you going to say when you do? 😭😭😓😩😔🕶️

Does anyone else ever see a take so bad that you just hope they are the only person to have that take?

its one thing to be wary of scammers, but some people on here take it way too far. The people saying things like this are shitty, and i would bet that they put no effort into actually looking at any account that contacts them or even daring to talk to them, but the casual fearmongering repeating that every stranger interacting with them must be a bot really is the worst bc there are ppl in the tags like "oh no, i donated!" and now thinking they need to report people who need help

its just crazy that people can link their social medias that clearly date back years, they can provide updates and references, but these types will just make a popular post warning people of scammers and to avoid them all. like what do you have to do to prove you're a real human being to some fandom user on tumblr...

i'm not a world politics expert by any means but it kinda feels like if you know that hamas' violence against civilians is unacceptable and horrific and needs to be stopped, it should be a quick mental jump from that to admitting that israel "fighting back" by doing worse to palestinian civilians is also unacceptable and horrific and needs to be stopped.

genocide is always wrong, violence against civilians is always wrong. but doing this "israel is fighting back against hamas, that's why it's okay that they're cracking down on gaza" song and dance is a disgusting reaction. if you can understand that american imperialism is wrong and often nurtures the very terrorists the US was supposedly there to stop by visiting horrors upon the civilians of the countries it invades and radicalizing them, then you also fundamentally understand why israel is responsible for hamas.

no reblogs and shit on this one, i'm not opening the floor for debate on whether or not it's proportional "retribution" to commit genocide, you can just block me. i have no delusions that this will meaningfully help anyone or anything, i just won't be considered a "safe" person for zionists.
