youtube creators used to make videos and upload them just because they wanted to whenever they wanted to but now if a bunch of good creators upload at once it's almost definitely just because it's deadline day for their sponsorship and all of them do the same ad read too. get that bag but man it is a little bit depressing to see

I regularly hear youtube creators mention offhand something like "I don't have anything to say, but the algorithm penalises intros that aren't long enough... anyway..." at the start of their videos. Video length, style and pacing can't be based on their best creative judgement or they'll drown on the platform. It's gotta fit whatever the current algorithm formula is and be designed to minimise the chances of random demonetisation. I wish they could be free. I wish to hear their own minds and hearts once more. Alas.

I just lost my job

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

service tops are like dogs the way they just want to be good and please you but my favoriteee is when they end up whimpering and drooling like a dog too. does it feel that good baby? let’s hear you bark for me then

Honestly I think the only thing that's preventing Ralsei from transitioning is that nobody has mentioned "you can just be a girl if you'd prefer to" at her in the span of the five days that she's been experiencing the concept of having agency

i feel like it's kinda rude to use post-transition pronouns for someone who hasn't even realized yet that what they want is to transition

cybertrucks are so amazing to me. sure it may be unsafe to drive and unimaginably expensive and ugly as shit but at least everyone who sees you driving it thinks youre a nazi

One major factor that makes the nature of psychiatric treatment intrinsically violent is the fact that the boundaries of the patient is considered an obstacle to treatment. The lack of consent of the patient is considered an obstacle to treatment. These obstacles are abhorred by psychiatry and are considered things that must be broken down. If the patient has a disagreement with the treatment, or objects to it, this is considered a symptom and therefore is seen as something not to be validated or respected. Thoughts, behaviors, beliefs; these are all considered symptoms if they are in opposition to treatment and must be broken down. However, compliance with treatment is almost never seen as disordered or symptomatic, even if the patient is fawning or similarly complying to avoid more harm done to them. The fact that only extreme compliance is accepted by psychiatry is inherently violent and conditions people to accept abuse. Isolation and violence are not vectors of healing.

Maybe there are "good christians" out there. But I don't think I've ever met one. Because every single one of the christians that paints themselves as "the good ones" always maintains this "no true scotsman" attitude towords Christianity. Instead of accepting that their religion has been monstrously evil for 2,000 years, and is responsible for the majority of the world's most horrific crimes against humanity for that entire time, including mass forced converstion, war, torture, countless genocides, pretty much all of the world's queerphobia, and 400 years of colonization, they just dissmiss all of it as being done by people who "weren't true christians." Absolving themselves and their religion of any guilt or responsibility. Which is an even more heinous thing to beleive for those "good christians" that are fucking Anglican and Catholic!

I was expecting at least one of those links to be a rickroll but none of them are; it's legit, Ringo Starr has the Elf stones

So the UK will reroute a fucking Internet cable for a fake grave for a fake elf because a bunch of brain dead nerds through a pissy fit, and meanwhile real actual natives in the US are getting arrested for trying to keep oil sand pipelines from going through their actual graves, holy sites and unceded territory. Burn it all down.

oh it's worse, it's not an internet cable, it's a cable for distributing cleanly generated solar/wind electricity

brush your teeth there's like 30 or something guys in there give em a scrub

this morning i got a spam call that just played clown waiting music for a few seconds and then hung up on me. which really pissed me off a lot

the needler is not a "little brother weapon" actually it has an important tactical niche that takes a surprising amount of skill and it has the glowing spikes too

stop telling me to pick up the energy pistol I don't like the energy pistol
