also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

This just means CNN puts in effort to dehumanize Palestinians. They do it on purpose

The thing about those posts I’ve seen about Tumblr users having an odd habit of using other people’s posts criticizing a(n applicable) bigoted behavior as a confessional to try and cleanse them of their sins is like. They’re all missing the part that they objectively should be embarrassed about the behavior in the first place.

Like you have to realize, when white people are going onto posts criticizing them for not doing even the most minimal engagement with Black culture by saying listening to rap is just hard for them because they have auditory processing disorder or trauma or whatever, they are positioning themselves as a victim. They are positioning themselves as THE victim, even. They are trying to make themselves out to be the most oppressed person in the room. Other racists recognize this play on a subconscious level and dogpile you when you do not play along. That’s how this shit has gone for time immemorial. You can’t just be saying “it’s okay”.

thank god for breasts *remembers im atheist* thank science for breasts

the next pokemon game will have no pokemon and cost $150

idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.

i truly do think that most people if confronted with it and pressed on it would agree. but it's comfortable to gain privileges from someone else's suffering, especially if you don't have to see that suffering directly.

thank u everyone who is mentioning preservation methods like canning and pickling, but i fear you are missing the point of the post a little bit

if the internet and even computing is able to survive sustainably, it will almost certainly have a seasonality to it. when its winter and it's been overcast for 2 weeks, the site you want to visit's local batteries might just not be charging enough for it to stay up for very long. your own local batteries might not last long, and you'll have to prioritize keeping your fridge running, and the lights on. the best bet for 'canning' the internet will be to print off your favorite wikipedia articles and read them when the sun is being shy.

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

they're making the omelas child go to therapy so it can learn about interpersonal accountability and realize the impact that its confusing and antisocial behavior has on the people around it
