Also highlighting one comment:

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

The purpose of the program was to encourage people to download and use the Alexa app. Getting users to try a new piece of software is a massive hurtle, but one they might do ‘for charity.’ Once people have learned to use it for one thing, Amazon hopes they will use it for something else.

In a brilliant marketing strategy, Amazon leveraged the widespread public dissatisfaction with their employment policies into a viral news story that will encourage people to use their products more. Due to the nature of viral stories, this one will continue to encourage Alexa usage even though the program itself is no longer paying out.

(You can still thank your driver and Alexa will still tell people their driver has been ‘thanked’ with no mention of the $5 bonus which is, of course, not being paid.)

SO if you see people sharing articles about it remember to pipe up and explain the program is OVER.

BRUH I am sobbing and crying and wailing on a chaise lounge, I found this meme with a caption about something something 'ha ha that feel when you're unattractive' bullshit and had to straight up turn my phone off for a sec.

Look at this man. LOOK at him. I have no idea who he is what he is where he is what this is from, zero context at all but buddy is FINE. I can only hope he's not some In Real Life Asshole because he's CUT.

I swear to God with my luck watch this be like. A candid of some rando about to kick some puppies, but like. The chest. The arms. The belly. Dude is a TANK. Dude looks like he could bench press a car. Dude looks like he could fight an alligator with his bare hands during his lunch break at the Bending Steel Beams factory. Buddy is. Good To Look At.

What is this. What year is it. Who am I. When did we all collectively decide that the Only Beautiful Form is whatever the fuck we did to. Fuckin. Whoever that superhero guy was with the veins and shit.

Some bitch out there seriously cropped a photo of a man who looks like you could lay your head on his chest and hear a mighty war drum and the splitting of pine trees in the winter and went "ha ha, you know when your body is bad?"
