the problem with "tumblr is dying add me on discord" is that posting on tumblr is like jovially walking down the street chatting to no one in particular and dming on discord is like having a sleepover conversation with one specific person both are good but theyre not substitutes

THIS IS IT I don’t want more group chats I want the internet version of popping out of my home to run errands and chatting to the woman at the post office about the weather and stopping to say hello to a cute dog on the street.

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

it's been like 2 years. i havent touched it. never needed to. "you don't really have a choice," are you so swift to forget the recent past? Bitch i still use itunes to download mp3s to so i have them forever and any song i want, then my sister burns them to CDs. When boycotts rolled out my other sister got no thanks to scan what products we shouldn't buy. i still use corded headphones not because "its older" but because it's easier. a fool criticizes those who buy candles 200 years after the invention of the electric light until the power goes out. become ungovernable. you are not immune to propaganda. you've never had Chatgpt forced upon you, the only thing forced upon you is the idea that Chatgpt is forced upon you. why claim you need something today that you didn't need yesterday. little bitch.

Yet if I were a young man traveling in a foreign country where religious villagers kept warning me not to visit a mysterious nobleman (but refused to even speak of what precisely was so scandalous about his nature) my first thought would be less "the Count is a supernatural being who will murder me and my loved ones" and more "the Count is an infamous homosexual and the repressed villagers fear for my chastity, I am surely in danger of seduction 😏😏😏"

#and I'd scamper my dapper little lawyer ass that much faster up to the dark mysterious homoerotic castle

I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.

Insincere, passionless, money-hungry art is almost always bad art

we're still making up new popes and kings and shit in 2025. fucking embarrassing

robber barons and slumlords are back. we peasants toiling in our teeming polluted cities for starvation wages. child labor and food born illnesses and fucking measles is back. what century is this. god i want modern problems. give me MODERN problems. new ones
