"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

i can handle one (1) Event™ per day. whether it be a phone call, an appointment, trip to the grocery store, play date with a friend, etc. only one, that's it. any more than that and i am Stressed

"hurts because i need to move more" and "hurts because i need to not move it at all" should really be different sensations. i should be able to troubleshoot my own body without just picking one and seeing if that makes it worse.

Look me straight in the eyes and tell me your current music taste isn’t what your father played in the car when you were a kid.

Ppl make fun of that genre of horny post where words are different colors but I actually think it’s funnier that this website even has customizable text colors, something most social media does not have, and that’s like the only thing ppl use it for

I hadn't realized just how addicted i was to youtube until I have to find other things to do

Passively watching something like 3 Scary Games or EZ Smalls playing R.E.P.O. was the bulk of my evenings tbh

Activities like knitting or playing video games myself are more involved and I have to be in a certain mindset—I don't always have the energy for it either

It's going to be an interesting night...

So Youtube is attempting to institute the same age-verification crap as the UK, but for EVERYONE. Stay off Youtube altogether today for a boycott, and sign the above pettition to help.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

fandom spaces were better when the media creators didn't know we existed and we didn't want them to find out.

God I sure love how the move to wireless headphones as the norm has just completely obliterated the social norm of “don’t bother other people with your shitty music/sports/YouTube sound”

Dude in the break room rn is watching some kind of fuckin sports game (World Cup maybe?) and it’s absolutely fucking insufferable and I want to scream.
