Fuck you, pay me.

okay i just had a bad epiphany but corporate interest’s influence on the internet is going to become so much stronger now that generations that are internet naturalized have grown up and starting working as “social media consultants”. advertising is going to become so much more subtle, manipulate your behavior to a greater extent, and completely pervade every aspect of our lives the more we rely on the internet for everything from entertainment to social validation. 

what im saying is its scary that corporate twitter accounts are getting good at twitter. to have the same avenue a human would to express themself. its like, an extreme anthromorphism of a brand, and that brand representing a corporate interest, and successfully passing itself off as a sentient entity on twitter, thats really weird to me.

It’s not about the effectiveness of the ads in question, but their complete omnipresence in every aspect and moment of life, and how bizarre and sophisticated the mechanations of advertising have become. If people don’t call attention to these things, they become normal.

They really let Freud say any dumbass shit he wanted, huh

No, sadly they didn’t if you look at any of his initial drafts, papers or lectures his theory was that sexual abuse and rape amongst family members or bosses or other authority figures was super common and the main source of trauma or anxiety amongst marginalised persons. When he published everyone told him that such people of good breeding couldn’t possibly be doing *that* and so he’d better recant and find some other theory that fits the evidence like the episodes being dreams or hallucinations or worse the victims being subconsciously willing. He was threatened with jail or worse so he recanted and re worked his theories. Freud said wacky shit because they would NOT let him say any old thing. He could say any old thing but the truth.

He was a coward and his willingness to recant on the truth has been making life difficult for women ever since.

I know this is for a kdrama show but like fuck this speaks to the patient population I care for and my frustration with the US right now. 

Oh, he’s good.

I don’t know whether he deserves an Oscar or a restraining order.

I die laughing at this every god damn time. The prayer hands are so fucking funny

You ever see something that explains like 70% of why you are the way that you are?
