  i think there are at least two things at play here

  1. can i do something about this?

  2. does it affect me?

  if the answer is “no” to both then focusing on that just brings misery about some bad thing happening somewhere, not the best idea mental health wise. if the answer is “yes” to both then you’ll see plenty of action.

  if we have yes for change, but no for being affected then it’s up for the good heart (and time and money) of any individual to make a choice to help. and if we have no can’t change, but yes it affects me, then we have depression.

  NSFW bans affect everyone using the internet, and they’re created purely on moral grounds, so your voice is just as loud as every other voice. if enough people complain, maybe it won’t change anyone’s opinion, but the likelihood that those in charge just give in goes up, it boils down to which side complains louder pretty much

  wars, misery, mistreatment, hate, bigotry, clearly have gone well past the “let’s sit down and talk about if this is the best way forward for us, and if you disagree with the majority opinion we will be very annoying”, there’s just– not much even combined voices of millions can do here, as evident by the world around us

  so in my conclusion - people are more likely to fight when they have some reasonable chance to win said fight. we have in the past successfully made companies undo things we didn’t like, we complained, and we got what we wanted. but how many wars have we stopped this way?

  to be fair, we don’t know why anything is, but that’s something for philosophy so ponder, not science where you seek answers

  butbutbut… i do actually like Wes Anderson T-T, they scratch my brain the right way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aspect ration⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  they all reacted well, even the most hipster one. they must’ve matured a lot since uni days :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ultra high iq⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  dang, i wish they did that for my adhd diagnosis, because i kept looking normal on my tests and had to go on a manhunt to find a doctor who has adhd as well, so they could just vibe check me (and i did, but before that i spent a lot of money on futile tests)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ultra high iq⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  there’s a yearly membership fee

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ultra high iq⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  as someone who qualifies for mensa but like, i ain’t paying a subscription fee to be in the smart people club, that sounds really dumb (and also IQ testing is sketchy at best to begin with)

  yes, i always appreciate a big booty, on any ethnicity or gender, so latinas are indeed included

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aspect ration⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  thanks, i’m going to send this to all my friends from filmmaking uni and see how many of them get mad at me

  most of the world isn’t american. we can’t do anything about your government

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WrestleMania was running wild on you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ahh fair alright, Sky News released a short article at 8:05pm

  when looking for it it was difficult to dig through a billion copy pasted sources, half of which were paywalled or "tUrN oFf yOuR aDbLocK"walled :')

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WrestleMania was running wild on you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  what is still strange to me is that the BBC article was one of those coverages they do - where they update the page as new information flows in (or they just decide to say something more). and the first part of that at 8:11pm is just a short paragraph

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WrestleMania was running wild on you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ozzy Osbourne’s death was first announced to UK media, first article i could find came from the BBC and released 8:11pm

  how is it that a Wikipedia editor outsprinted the first article and made the first death edit at 8:08pm?

  buy a horse dildo with bitcoin and flaunt how they didn’t get any money from your transaction? idk man, i’m good at vague ideas, specifics are harder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t know if any source has caught up yet, but a few days ago it was indeed just taboo kink games that were being targeted, now it seems all of itch.ios NSFW games are disappearing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  to quote my favourite game

  The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all.

  i could try to make peace with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  boyfriend it is then, money is just nifty it won’t fill the void

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  boyfriend (human, my age, regular lifespan, attracted to me, and i’m attracted to him), and a billion dollars (in US currency, no strings attached, not any blood money)

  gamers, unironically, rise up. this isn’t going to end on niche porn games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  this bullshit is surely coming from the recently intensifying family friendlinessification of the internet, but why the fuck do payment processors care? i have no idea. are they taking a cut of advertising revenue? do all ceos just want to appear as massive prudes? do they see children as an untapped market to exploit? or maybe they’re just fucking stupid? what is actually going on

  at least 5% of dad shenanigans should prompt a “dad wtf?” reaction in a healthy dadhood environment

  there are three moods:

  • can’t stop reading

  • can’t stop writing

  • if i think about the written word i’ll cry

  how do you pronounce that without ending up beatboxing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bad board games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  fair point, i’m just wondering where the line is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bad board games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  is there a non-corrupt country out there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bad board games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if the instances stopping some from buying everything up can be bypassed by just having more money then they’re pointless. maybe one guy can’t have so much property, but what about a firm? and then a second firm, so many companies that own so much all owned by one person

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bad board games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean yeah, that’s the point. The whole game was designed as a micro-cosm of capitalism. We’re in the endgame of monopoly right now, the richest players are buying out the entire board and it’s not fun for anyone else anymore. Only in the real world we can’t walk away from the table when the obvious winner insists they need to finish the game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  hasn’t this been a theory for a while now? The event horizon of a black hole keeps information minus one dimension. and the theory goes that our entire universe is just at the edge or a black hole in a 4D universe
